The Fog of Facts: Why It's So Hard to Know What's True Anymore

About this episode

Krista Bontrager explores the challenges of discerning truth in a post-truth world, focusing on the impact of slippery facts and eroded trust.

In part 2 of her teaching series on conspiracy theories, Krista dives deep into some of the reasons why discerning truth feels increasingly like navigating quicksand in our post-truth, post-trust world. Krista honestly explores how facts have become slippery, why fact-checkers and official narratives often eroded trust further (especially during the pandemic), and the very real human cost: fractured relationships. She acknowledges the confusion many Christians feel while pointing toward hope and the ultimate anchor in God’s unchanging Word.
