Why Christianity Is “Bad” Now - And Why That Changes Everything

About this sermon

🤔 What is the biggest challenge Christians face in an increasingly secular culture? For many people today, the question is no longer simply, “Is Christianity true?” The deeper objection is often, “Is Christianity good?” In this conversation, J. Warner Wallace explores why the cultural battle has shifted—and why questions about identity, purpose, morality, trauma, sex, money, power, and personal fulfillment are now at the center of the Christian worldview conversation. We often try to create our own purpose, define ourselves through shifting identities, and look to the created world for ultimate meaning. But what happens when those identities change? What happens when trauma, loss, retirement, illness, divorce, disappointment, or cultural pressure shakes the foundation we built our lives on? ✝️ Christianity is not only a claim about what is true. It is a claim about what is good—because the Creator knows the purpose for which we were made. In this video, we discuss: 🔎 Why the question has shifted from “Is it true?” to “Is it good?” 🧭 Why identity and trauma are deeply connected ⚖️ How sex, money, and power can become misplaced objects of devotion 🏗️ Why you discover purpose by consulting the One who designed you 🙏 Why grounding your identity in Christ offers something the world cannot replace 📖 Why Christianity is not merely true—but truly good for us 📘 Get J.
