How “Just Have Faith” Is Wrecking the Church

About this sermon

Faith was never meant to be blind, reckless, or detached from reality. In this episode, cold-case detective and Christian apologist J. Warner Wallace takes a hard look at how many believers think about “faith” and why some popular versions of faith are not just weak—they’re dangerous to the church. 🕵️‍♂️✝️ Drawing on years in the courtroom, Jim explains the difference between unreasonable faith, blind faith, and reasonable (forensic) faith, and why only one of these is truly biblical. He unpacks how juries reach verdicts “beyond a reasonable doubt,” why that same standard makes sense for the Christian worldview, and how “just have faith” can become a license for intellectual laziness that leaves our kids vulnerable to every counterfeit worldview. 📚⚖️ Jim also works through commonly misused passages like Hebrews 11 and the story of “Doubting Thomas” to show that Scripture presents a thoughtful, evidential faith that welcomes investigation rather than fleeing from it. If you’ve ever felt like the only person in your church who cares about evidence—or you’ve been told that faith means shutting off your brain—this episode will help you see biblical faith as a reasoned trust grounded in what God has already done in history. 🙏🧠 👉 Get the book “Forensic Faith” here: http://amzn.to/2Bvkyv4 👍 If this video helps you, please like the video, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss future episodes. 🔁 And please share this with a friend or your small group.
