• Why TikTok theology is undermining biblical truth
• The intellectual shallowness of modern church culture

• Why asking good questions is more important than having all the answers
KEY QUOTES: "I'll have moms come up to me and say, 'My young adult child is deconstructing... What's the best resource that I can give them?' And I always say, 'You're not going to like my answer. It's you.'"
"Progressive Christianity is the idea that Christianity itself is progressing... Christianity is always arriving but it never arrives."
"You don't have to be an apologist or theologian to engage with people. You just need to know how to ask a few good questions."
