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In a world shaped by phrases like “that’s your truth” and “truth is relative,” certainty feels outdated and even dangerous.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.
