"...and having put on the breastplate of righteousness." (Eph. 6:14b)

What does it actually mean to be righteous—and who gets to decide?

In this episode, host Kate tackles one of the most uncomfortable and important questions we can ask: if our world rejects absolute truth and every religion defines goodness differently, how can anyone know what “right living” even is?

Together, we explore how our definition of righteousness always flows from our definition of God—and why competing worldviews lead to radically different standards for what is good, just, and true. We’ll look honestly at cultural morality, self-defined righteousness, world religions, and the Bible’s claim that God alone has the authority to define righteousness because He alone is perfectly righteous.

But this episode doesn’t stop at diagnosis—it ends in hope.

You’ll discover why Scripture says our own righteousness can never save us, what the breastplate of righteousness actually protects us from, and the breathtaking truth that in Christ, God offers us the righteousness we could never earn.

If you’ve ever wondered: How do I know what’s truly right? Is being a good person enough? Why does truth matter? What if my definition of goodness is wrong? How can I stand before a holy God?

This episode will challenge your assumptions, deepen your understanding of Ephesians 6, and invite you to consider the only righteousness that can truly save.
