This week, Chris and Rich discuss how the manipulation of language in culture today is being used to trap Christians into an approved narrative. Christians must be consumed with the desire to know how God defines terms, concepts, and ideas. We must never give way to culture and adulterate the truth.

This week, Chris goes solo and discusses the growing use of the term "fake Christian" by those who oppose biblical truth.

How should Christians respond to this new assault?
