In this episode of You Can Handle the Truth! I sit down with Michele Marsili, Vice President of Women in Apologetics, to talk about absolute truth, relativism, conspiracy theories, and how Christians can discern what’s real in today’s chaotic culture.

We dive into Scripture, discuss how the Bible withstands scrutiny, and unpack how to stand firm when the world twists God’s Word. From Romans 1 to Colossians 2, this episode will encourage you to put your feet on solid ground and pursue truth that doesn’t shift with culture.

Whether you’re a lifelong believer or new to faith, you’ll leave with clarity, encouragement, and practical ways to spot lies, cling to truth, and strengthen your relationship with Jesus.

Information and resources:

Did you know Jesus actually uses five witnesses to testify about who He is? In John 5, He lays them out one by one:

1. John the Baptist (v. 33) – the prophet who pointed straight to Jesus.
2. His works and miracles (v. 36) – visible proof of God’s power at work.
3. God the Father (v. 37) – who declared Jesus as His Son.
4. The Scriptures (v. 39) – every page whispering His name.
5. Moses (v. 46) – whose writings foreshadowed the Messiah.

Jesus didn’t leave us in the dark—He stacked the evidence! These witnesses remind us that faith isn’t blind; it’s grounded in truth, testimony, and history.
