The Most Basic Definition of Sin: Harmartiology for the Rest of Us

byC. Michael Patton

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the clearest and most haunting illustrations of sin in the Bible: Esau trading his birthright for “that red stuff.” What compels us to give up what matters most for something so empty and fleeting?

We’ll unpack how sin functions like spiritual impulse buying—a split-second decision that feels urgent but ends in regret. I’ll share a personal story about a season in my life when I traded the calling God gave me for the comfort of pain pills. We’ll also explore a father-son moment that reveals the heart of God in our worst trades—and how grace always leaves room for return.

If you’ve ever felt the ache of worthless choices or wondered what “red stuff” might be in your own cart, this episode is for you.

Can We Be Wrong in Heaven? Confessions of a Mystical Calvinist 2025-04-23
In this episode of Theology Unplugged, C. Michael Patton explores one of the most personal and humorous tensions in his theological journey: what if we’re still wrong in heaven? What if glorification doesn’t mean omniscience, but sanctified curiosity? From being kicked out of a Calvinist fellowship in the ’90s to debating theology over coffee with […]
