“If all roads lead to the top of the mountain, why did Jesus die to open just one?”

In this third conversation of Gospel Truth and Pagan Lies, Joshua and Mary tackle one of the most popular—and seductive—ideas in modern spirituality: that all religions are essentially the same.

From yoga studios to YouTube gurus, from celebrity interviews to neighborhood coffee chats, the mantra of our time is “all religions are one.” People say, “Every religion has part of the truth,” “We’re all climbing the same mountain,” or “It doesn’t matter what you call God as long as you’re sincere.”

Joshua and Mary unpack where this idea comes from, why it appeals to our culture, and how it directly contradicts the gospel of Jesus Christ.
