Can Someone Be Born Into Sin? | Jase Robertson

Why is James the only writer outside of Jesus to use the word Gehenna (hell), and what does an ancient valley of sacrifice have to do with the words coming out of your mouth? The crew dives into James 3 to unpack the historical and theological weight behind Gehenna—the Valley of Hinnom. Tracing this location back to King Ahaz and the Old Testament prophecies of Jeremiah, the guys explain how human survival instincts corrupted by evil led to idolatry, child sacrifice, and divine judgment. Connecting James 3:5–6 back to the Garden of Eden and the Genesis mandate, the discussion highlights how sin twists God's design. Instead of exercising dominion over creation and our own speech, idolatry happens when we let our tongues or created things dominate us. From the "wheel of birth" to the restored kingdom in Revelation 22, this episode is a powerful call to reclaim divine dominion and stop setting our lives on fire with hellish speech.
