My daughter wrote and recorded this song, and I just had to share it. Our family has had a tough run these last six months, and my daughter really captured what leaning on the Lord feels like through these lyrics. Reach out and tell her what you think - It's called "Plans".

Why do people really reject God?

In this episode, we examine the most common reasons people give for staying away from Christianity — from cult accusations and fake spiritual experiences, to hypocrisy, intellectual comfort, and the appeal of “science” as a moral shield. But instead of settling for surface-level explanations, we dig into what’s actually driving those objections.

Is Christianity being rejected because it’s false — or because it’s uncomfortable?
Because the evidence isn’t there — or because accountability is?

This is not a sermon, and it’s not a debate. It’s an honest look at the excuses we build, the distortions that make rejection feel justified, and why many of the reasons people walk away aren’t as solid as they sound.

If you’ve ever been skeptical, burned by bad representatives, or quietly unsure about what you believe — this episode invites you to look past the caricatures and ask a deeper questions.
