What is truth, and how do we know we're building our lives on the right foundation? In this episode of the Be Bold For Jesus Podcast, we sit down with Pastor Joshua Bingle, lead pastor of Genesis Church in Spokane, to talk about truth, identity, faith, culture, and how Christians can stay grounded when the world around them is constantly redefining reality. Josh shares the story behind Genesis Church and why their vision combines a modern expression of ministry with the wisdom and guardrails of historic Christianity. We also talk about objective truth versus “my truth,” why Church history, creeds, and confessions still matter, and how Scripture gives us a foundation for thinking through the difficult questions of our time.

Josh also shares insights from his upcoming book, True North, and offers practical ways believers can think biblically about modern issues without losing their foundation. What does it look like to follow Jesus faithfully when there are so many competing voices? How can we know what is true, understand why it matters, and confidently live from a foundation that doesn't move? This is an honest, practical, and encouraging conversation for anyone who wants to grow in their faith, navigate culture with wisdom, and discover what becomes possible when our lives are anchored to truth.
