FAITH (10 Words to Heal Our Broken World Series)

Ideas Have Consequences

Send us a text

Can you have faith without the existence of evidence? In this episode, we explore the essence of this often confused word that lies at the heart of the gospel. We discuss the flawed idea that faith is blind and disconnected from reality and facts. Conversely, we argue that faith is to “assent to the weight of evidence.” Faith is to trust in the truthfulness and reliability of something or someone, based on a careful search of available evidence and personal experience.

Join us for another stop on our journey through 10 Words to Heal Our Broken World, a book aimed at restoring the foundational meanings of our culture's most important words. Today, our exploration reveals how differing belief systems and worldviews shape societal trust. We invite you to consider how understanding faith can transform individual choices and the broader social landscapes of our nations.
