  • I Used to Hate You–What Changed My Mind

    I Used to Hate You–What Changed My Mind
    2026/02/12
    Dave Hanegraaff tells Jay Richards: “I used to hate you.” What changed? He listened.

    In this clip from A Commitment to Reality, Dave and Jay talk about how we caricature people we disagree with, why actually listening to people matters, and how misconceptions can block us from thinking clearly.

    We are living through one of the most disorienting periods in human history—leaving many to wonder: What is reality? As artificial intelligence accelerates and institutional trust erodes, our shared sense of what is real continues to crumble.

    A commitment to reality is a dedication to discerning what is true and developing the discipline to live in alignment with that truth—with reality. This podcast is an apologetic for reality—each episode serving as an intentional act of grounding our existence together as we commit to what is beautiful, good, and true.

  • The Forgotten Discipline We Must Recover– A Message from Hank Hanegraaff

    The Forgotten Discipline We Must Recover– A Message from Hank Hanegraaff
    2025/12/30
    Time is flying by so fast—it’s hard to believe. “Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.” As Hank reflects on another year, a phrase has been echoing through his mind: “You will be the same person next year as you are right now except for two things—the people you meet and the books you read.” Hank would add a third: the things you memorize.Some of the greatest breakthroughs Hank has ever experienced have come directly from reading.Both in America and abroad, reading is in decline across the board. That’s the bad news. The good news? You can get hooked on reading today. We live in a moment when truth is being assaulted from every side. And if ever there was a time to double down on the discipline of reading, it is now.Are you ready for a breakthrough? Read.

    Christ is Born—Glorify Him! A Message from Hank Hanegraaff
    2025/12/24
    We wish you a Merry Christmas—and a reminder of the proverbial reason for the season. Our prayer is that, amid the noise surrounding modern-day Christmas celebrations, we may as yet hear the faint echo of Isaiah's earth-shattering pronouncement: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Emmanuel." And, "he will save his people from their sins."Merry Christmas from Hank Hanegraaff and the rest of the Christian Research Institute family. Behold a strange, most glorious mystery:Heaven—The Cave;The Cherubic Throne—The Virgin;The Manger—The Place Where Christ Lay;The Uncontainable God, Whom we Magnify!

  • Is Annihilationism Biblical?

    Is Annihilationism Biblical?
    2025/12/16
    Annihilationism is the view that no one suffers for eternity in hell--because according to annihilationism there is no hell. Rather, those who persist until death in their rejection of God’s gracious gift of salvation are snuffed out of existence entirely. Just as universalism is the rage in liberal Christianity, so too annihilationism has gained momentum in conservative Christian circles, with the concept once again entering into the cultural consciousness due to comments made by Kirk Cameron. Hank saw those comments and decided to weigh in on the matter in order to address whether or not annihilationism has any Biblical basis.
