About this episode

The episode explores the dominant beliefs shaping modern identity and challenges the narrative of self-expression through a theological lens.

In a culture that elevates self-expression as the ultimate authority, Confronting the Secular Creed examines the dominant beliefs shaping modern identity and challenges the narrative of "living your truth." By applying the THINQ Framework, this talk explores the historical and theological roots of today's cultural assumptions, helping you understand how they influence your thinking. Whether you are navigating competing worldviews or struggling to articulate objective truth, this conversation equips you to engage the world with wisdom, conviction, and grace.
