When Tradition Replaces Truth: An Eye-Opening Faith Conversation
In this episode of Rise Tayo, we have a loving yet eye-opening conversation about faith and culture within the Filipino community.
For over 300 years, the Philippines was under Spanish rule and access to Scripture was limited. Only priests were permitted to read the Bible. As a result, many generations learned to practice faith through tradition and rituals. Generational beliefs were passed down without biblical foundation.
Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16–17, Hosea 4:6, Exodus 20:4–5, and 1 John 5:21, this episode explores God’s heart for His people to know the truth, avoid deception, and worship Him alone. Scripture reminds us that truth is not meant to condemn us—but to free us.
This conversation is not meant to shame culture or personal faith journeys. It is an invitation to reflect, pray, and examine whether our faith is rooted in inherited tradition or in the truth of God’s Word and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
The episode ends with prayer and a gentle encouragement to open the Bible for yourself and seek God personally.
Listen with an open heart and prayerful reflection. This episode is an invitation—not a debate—to seek God personally through His Word and grow in truth and freedom in Jesus Christ.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into truth, and allow God’s Word to shape your faith. If this conversation helped you, share this episode with someone you love.
