When we ask, “Who is God?”, we often assume we’re going straight to the Bible. But we’re not. The truth is, every Christian pulls from at least 12 different sources—often unconsciously—when building their theology. In this episode, we look at how things like culture, tradition, emotions, friends, family, reason, pastors, creation, and theologians influence what we believe. Some of these are good. Some are dangerous. But all of them are real.

Let’s get honest about where our theology actually comes from.
