About this Episode
In 2026, every philosophy, lifestyle, and spiritual path is a finger tap away. So how do you know which one actually leads somewhere good? This week, Brian Ross steps into Acts 17 — where Paul walked into one of history's most pluralistic cities and raised a deeper question about truth, character, and what ultimately defines a life well lived. Whether you've been following Jesus for decades or you're not sure what you believe, this conversation is for you.
In This Episode:
- Why Christian faith is just one option among many in 2026 — and why that's actually an important starting point
- The dangerous gap between "Christianity" and Jesus himself — and why history makes that distinction impossible to ignore
- What false spirituality looks like in everyday life
- Why divine judgment might be the best news you've heard all week
- What Einstein, Gandhi, and Richard Dawkins all had to say about Jesus
- What it means to engage with God as a person, not a set of doctrines
