• Why truth matters for morality, worldview, and cultural stability
• The dangers of moral relativism and where it leads
• A robust biblical theology of truth, rooted in the character of God
• How Jesus, the Word, and God’s unchanging nature define absolute truth

Through Scripture, logic, and real-world examples, you'll learn why truth is more than personal preference—it's a person.
