Practice the Truth // Deepfake - Part 3

About this episode

Pastor Josh discusses recognizing deception and practicing the truth based on 2 Timothy 3.

Not everything that looks true actually is. In this week’s message from Deepfake, Pastor Josh dives into 2 Timothy 3 and explores how to recognize deception, avoid counterfeit faith, and stand firm in a world drifting further from truth. From false teachers to cultural pressure to the power of God’s Word, he challenges us to not just know the truth—but practice it. // Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live
