Who Gets to Define Reality?
What happens when we stop asking whether something is true and start deciding truth for ourselves?
We live in a culture that increasingly tells us we can define reality for ourselves. But can we actually create our own reality? And what happens when our feelings, desires, or personal experiences become the standard for determining what is true?
In this episode of Her Faith Inspires, I’m joined by Phoenix Hayes, co-author with Dr. Frank Turek of The War on Reality. We explore the growing confusion around truth, identity, morality, and human nature—and why Christians need a solid foundation to evaluate the ideas shaping our culture.
Phoenix and I discuss how our view of reality shapes the way we think about everything from identity and morality to relationships, culture, and politics. We also explore why the question of whether God exists matters when we’re trying to determine what is actually true.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- What it means to live in a “war on reality”
- Why truth cannot simply be determined by personal feelings or preferences
- How our beliefs about God shape our understanding of reality
- The difference between discovering reality and creating our own reality
- How cultural pressures can influence the way Christians think
- The connection between worldview, identity, and morality
- Why Christians need to recognize the ideas behind cultural arguments
- How the information age has changed the way we determine what is true
- Why Christians need to be prepared to defend their beliefs
- How we can respond to cultural pressure without compromising biblical truth
The world is asking some very important questions: What is true? Who gets to decide? What does it mean to be human? And does God have anything to say about it?
As Christians, we don’t have to be intimidated by those questions. We can investigate the evidence, think carefully, and stand confidently on truth.
A Question to Consider
Are you allowing Scripture to shape your understanding of reality, or are cultural ideas quietly shaping the way you understand Scripture?
