The State of Theology survey reveals staggering confusion within the church—confusion about sin, Jesus, salvation, the Trinity, and the authority of Scripture. This episode examines why neglecting sound doctrine always carries a cost and why biblical clarity is kindness. Dave explains the consequences of doctrinal drift, how false gospels multiply, why holiness becomes negotiable, and how confusion spreads when the church minimizes biblical teaching. He also lays out a biblical path forward rooted in expositional preaching, the fear of the Lord, the centrality of Christ, and the call to contend for the faith. May this episode encourage you to hold fast to the truth and stand firm in a confused age.
