2021 Plenary Talk | 59:57 | Culture & Faith, Curriculum Overviews, Philosophy, Virtue, Character, Discipline
Summary
The larger culture calls us to believe—in ourselves, one another, or whatever we want. We are told that the object of our faith doesn’t matter, as long as we believe in something. But if we put our faith in something other than Almighty God, our faith is misbelief.
