In this episode of the Faith Seeking Freedom Podcast, host Cody Cook explores the compatibility of Christianity and Ayn Rand's philosophy of objectivism. Despite Rand's dismissal of religion, some Christians are drawn to her emphasis on rational self-interest. Cody discusses John Piper's concept of "Christian Hedonism," which aligns self-interest with seeking happiness in God. While Rand asserted that objectivism is inherently atheistic, Cody suggests that Christians can still learn from her focus on self-interest. Ultimately, he concludes that while Christians cannot be full objectivists, they can integrate useful aspects of Rand's philosophy into their faith.
