‪@ColdCaseChristianity‬ argues that many Christians struggle with envy, anger, and insecurity because their identity is misplaced in themselves or their accomplishments. We ground our identity in whatever we value most. Believers ought to realign their devotion to God so that their identity is firmly rooted in Christ

Two Truth Narratives — Which Will You Believe?

At Stand T0 Reason’s Reality Conference, we show students that Christianity matches up with the way the world really is—with reality. It makes sense of the origin and design of the universe and life; the existence of objective truth and morality; the purpose, meaning, and value of human experience; the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus; and the existential longing of every human heart. In other words, we have reality on our side.
