Two Truth Narratives — Which Will You Believe?

A Different Way to Frame Reality

From Stand to Reason

LESS THAN A TWO-MINUTE VIDEO

Sean McDowell examines the growing cultural belief that individuals define their own truth based on personal experience and desire. He argues that this view places the individual as the ultimate authority, making truth fluid and situational. The biblical narrative, however, grounds truth in God, presenting it as fixed, universal, and knowable through Scripture and the world he created.

At Stand To 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.
