Truth & Relativism – Part 1B

Is truth real, or is it just personal opinion?

In today’s culture, phrases like “live your truth” and “that may be true for you, but not for me” dominate our conversations. But beneath those statements lies a much deeper question: Does objective truth exist at all?

In this episode of Truth & Relativism, we explore why relativism feels freeing at first, yet ultimately leaves us without meaning, moral grounding, or hope. We’ll unpack cultural shifts, philosophical contradictions, and biblical foundations to show why truth is not oppressive, it’s liberating.

Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” But what does that really mean in a post-truth world?

In this video, you’ll discover:

• Why relativism sounds compassionate but collapses logically
• How modern culture became emotionally driven rather than truth-driven
• Why everyone actually believes in moral absolutes (even when they deny them)
• How Scripture provides an unchanging foundation
• Why truth and love must never be separated
• How Jesus is not just a teacher of truth… but Truth Himself

If you've ever wrestled with doubts, deconstruction, cultural pressure, or big worldview questions — this series is for you.

Truth & Relativism – Part 1 — What is Truth? The Collapse of Certainty in a Culture of Relativism

It’s one of the most important questions a human being can ask and one our culture increasingly avoids.

In a world shaped by phrases like “that’s your truth” and “truth is relative,” certainty feels outdated and even dangerous. But if truth is whatever we say it is, can anything really be known?

Can anyone ever be wrong? And if not, can anyone ever truly be right?

In this opening video of our Truth & Relativism series, we explore what truth actually is, how our culture lost its foundation, and why relativism ultimately collapses under its own contradictions.

Drawing from philosophy, history, and Scripture, we ask whether truth is something we create or something we discover.

In this podcast, you’ll learn:

• What philosophers historically meant by truth
• Why truth was once understood as correspondence with reality
• How modern culture shifted from what is real to what feels real
• The difference between pluralism, subjectivism, and relativism
• Why moral and epistemological relativism cannot sustain themselves
• How Scripture presents truth as rooted in the nature of God

In upcoming podcasts, we’ll examine the historical roots of relativism, its cultural consequences, and how Christians respond faithfully in a post-truth world.

What Makes Someone a Heretic? (And What Doesn’t)Is heresy just a theological mistake… or something far more serious? In this episode, we’ll explore one of the most misunderstood words in Christianity. We trace the idea of heresy from its origins to its use in church history and its role today. We’ll look at how the Bible uses the word hairesis, how the apostles confronted false teaching, how the early church defended core doctrine, and how the Middle Ages sometimes twisted the term into a weapon of power. Finally, we’ll ask: Does heresy still matter in the modern church?If this video helps you think more clearly about truth and false teaching, consider subscribing and joining the conversation.

Adoptionism claims that Jesus wasn’t always the Son of God… that He was just an ordinary man adopted by God at His baptism.

It even uses Scripture. But it misses the truth in a big way.

In this episode, we’re unpacking 5 things you should know about Adoptionism. What it taught, where it came from, how the early church responded, and why versions of it still show up today.

If you’ve ever heard someone say “Jesus became God,” this episode is for you.

We’ll look at:

1️⃣ What Adoptionism actually taught

2️⃣ Why it spread in the early church

3️⃣ The Scriptures it misused (and what they really mean)

4️⃣ How the Bible refutes it

5️⃣ Why this ancient heresy still matters today

The early church fought hard to defend the truth that Jesus is fully God and fully man. He is not one or the other, but both. Understanding these early heresies helps us guard the same Gospel today.

“In Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.” — Colossians 2:9

This isn’t about free speech or politics. It’s about something bigger than that.

In this video, we’ll explore what the Bible actually teaches about resurrection and eternal life:

• Why our future is not just “souls in heaven” but resurrected bodies made new

• What Scripture says about the promise of eternal life in Christ

• How resurrection hope gives purpose, courage, and joy in our daily lives

The Christian hope isn’t vague. Your body, your life, your future is secure in Jesus Christ. That truth changes how we live, how we suffer, and how we love others today.

In a culture quick to judge and slow to forgive, the Apostles’ Creed reminds us of a radical truth: grace is greater than guilt, and Jesus’ cross is enough.

In This Podcast, We Explore Grace That Frees and Transforms:

• Why the line “the forgiveness of sins” mattered in the early church

• How God reveals Himself as merciful, gracious, and forgiving (Exodus 34)

• What kinds of sin God forgives … iniquity, transgression, and everyday failures

• How forgiveness transforms both our relationship with God and with each other

The forgiveness of sins isn’t just a doctrine; it’s freedom, restoration, and the heart of the Gospel. You are not your worst moment. In Christ, you are forgiven.

Scripture references: Exodus 34, Psalm 32, John 21, 1 John 1:9
