In this episode of Everyday Truth, Sarah and Judge tackle the troubling issue of the U.S. national debt, which currently stands at a staggering $34 trillion. They emphasize that debt has significant implications from a biblical perspective, highlighting three critical areas: who debt violates, what it represents, and what it requires. Sarah explains how the national debt contradicts biblical teachings, citing Proverbs 22:7, which states that "the borrower is slave to the lender," and how it burdens future generations, violating the principle of leaving an inheritance (Proverbs 13:22). The continual accumulation of debt also ignores the biblical mandates for debt forgiveness outlined in Deuteronomy and Leviticus.

Judge further elaborates on how the debt symbolizes moral failings within society, stemming from a culture that prioritizes short-term desires over fiscal responsibility. He notes that the resulting financial practices lead to unjust cuts in social programs and contribute to broader cultural decay. They conclude with a call for national repentance and a return to biblical financial principles, advocating for fiscal discipline and responsible governance to alleviate the debt burden. The episode ends with an invitation for listeners to reflect on these issues and consider how they can contribute to a more responsible and morally sound financial future.
