About this listen

In Everyday Romanticism, Rushdoony warns that popular Romanticism, far from being harmless sentiment, is a destructive mindset that replaces God’s reality with self-created dreams and demands instant fulfillment without responsibility, patience, or discipline. Whether expressed in distorted expectations of love, career, or revolution, Romanticism insists on life “on my terms,” erupting into rage, despair, or victimization when reality intrudes. Rushdoony shows how this temperament fuels broken marriages, personal failure, and even political terror by seeking regeneration through emotion or revolution rather than through God’s transforming grace. Only a biblical faith, he concludes, can shatter Romantic illusions, restore humility, and teach men and women to live faithfully, fruitfully, and responsibly within God’s real world. #EverydayRomanticism #Rushdoony #ChristianWorldview #FaithAndCulture #Romanticism #BiblicalWisdom #Discipleship
