The Discernment Crisis Facing Christians Today with Pastor Ryan Bates
Description
What happens when Christians spend more time chasing hidden knowledge than pursuing biblical wisdom?
In this episode, I sit down with my son-in-law, Pastor Ryan Bates, to tackle one of the greatest challenges facing the Church today: discernment. From conspiracy theories and AI to confirmation bias and the lure of "secret knowledge," we discuss why so many believers are being pulled away from the clear truth of God's Word.
How do we recognize deception without becoming cynical? How do we pursue truth without sacrificing humility or unity? And in a world overflowing with information, how do we stay anchored in what God has already revealed?
If you've ever wrestled with these questions or know someone who has, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
