Salvation by Faith Alone: Was Luther Right?

Where did Catholics get the hair-brained notion that we are saved by faith plus works? Have you ever wondered about that? Well, duuuhhh. Maybe they got it out of the Bible.

The New Prophets: Authority, Experience, and the Collapse of Trust
byC. Michael Patton

The New Prophets: Authority, Experience, and the Collapse of Trust

Podcast culture is telling us something—and it’s not just about who people are listening to, but why they trust them.

As voices like Joe Rogan and Shawn Ryan rise, trust in institutions continues to collapse. Government, media, and even scientific authorities are no longer seen as stable sources of truth. But this does not mean truth itself is disappearing. It means confidence in those who interpret and deliver truth is fading.

In this episode, I make a critical distinction: science isn’t collapsing—trust in interpreters of science is. Science is a method. But people don’t live by methods—they live by meaning. And when the messengers lose credibility, people begin looking elsewhere for something to anchor their understanding of reality.

The deeper issue is that we are no longer building complete worldviews. Instead, we are assembling beliefs like a playlist—pulling ideas from wherever they resonate without asking whether they actually fit together. But a real worldview must answer real questions: What is ultimate reality? How do we know anything? Are there real morals? What is our purpose? What happens after death?

When those questions go unanswered, a vacuum is created. And that vacuum never stays empty.

This is where the “new prophets” begin to emerge—not from institutions, but from experience. And in a world that no longer trusts shared authority, experience itself begins to take the throne.

This episode sets the stage for understanding how we got here—and why what replaces truth may be far more dangerous than what we lost.
