  • Because Truth Matters, Reality Matters–Hank Hanegraaff on A Commitment to Reality

    Because Truth Matters, Reality Matters–Hank Hanegraaff on A Commitment to Reality
    Feb 24 2026
    Hank Hanegraaff brings an important announcement about a brand-new initiative at the Christian Research Institute: a new podcast titled A Commitment to Reality, hosted by his son, Dave Hanegraaff.

    This podcast is not only timely but extraordinarily relevant. Why? Because we live in an era of “reality rot.” To paraphrase Blaise Pascal, we live in an age in which truth is so obscure and falsehood so established that, apart from “a commitment to reality,” you simply cannot know it.

    Our new podcast is a powerful complement to CRI’s other podcasts and publications, extending our ministry and mission to a whole new generation of change agents.

    Please subscribe to A Commitment to Reality on YouTube for full episodes and clips, and follow wherever you get your podcasts. You can also help spread the word by rating, reviewing, and telling others about A Commitment to Reality.

    And remember: Because truth matters, reality matters. That’s why we must remain committed to reality.

  • Why Commitment to Shared Reality Matters

    Why Commitment to Shared Reality Matters
    Feb 20 2026
    Frederica Mathewes-Green and Dave Hanegraaff unpack why the most important word in A Commitment to Reality is commitment—because reality doesn’t disappear when we deny it. This clip gets at why a commitment to shared reality matters.

    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.

  • When a Culture Can’t Name Reality–What Happens Next?

    When a Culture Can’t Name Reality–What Happens Next?
    Feb 18 2026
    What happens to a culture that can no longer name what it sees?

    In this clip from A Commitment to Reality, Jay Richards argues that when a society rejects basic realities—biological, moral, and metaphysical—it begins to unravel in ways that don’t stay theoretical. Dave and Jay talk about what “commitment to reality” actually means, and why denying reality has civilizational consequences.

    Feb 12 2026
    Dave Hanegraaff tells Jay Richards: “I used to hate you.” What changed? He listened.

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

    The Forgotten Discipline We Must Recover– A Message from Hank Hanegraaff
    Dec 30 2025
    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.
