Truth Wins means that, in the end, the Truth is what matters most. We believe in absolute truth, so if one doesn’t know what the truth is in any given situation, all of their ideas, dreams and decisions will be off course. When Pilate questioned Jesus in His last hours on Earth, Jesus said, “…the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.†(John 18:37). It must be a big deal if Jesus said that was the reason he came to the world! Through podcast, we want to wrestle with all sorts of topics and see how they line up with biblical truth. Our hope is that these will challenge and equip you to view your world through a biblical lens as well.
