In the final part of the series on "fake faith," Brian Smith clarifies that having doubts or struggles does not make one's faith fake. He also warned against "fake friends" who might pull people away from God's plan for their lives.
Brian then brought up his son, Jude Smith, to speak. Jude took the stage and began by posing the question, "What is fake faith?" He shared a story about the biblical account of Jesus cursing the fig tree, explaining that the fig tree and the temple were both outwardly impressive but inwardly corrupt, a parallel he drew to fake faith. Jude concluded by asking the audience to consider whether their own faith was real or fake and then prayed for them. Brian returned to praise Jude's talk and reaffirmed the importance of having a genuine, fruitful faith, encouraging students to consider baptism and to take on opportunities to share the Gospel themselves.
