Where do you turn when you have questions about faith, doctrine, or church history, and how can you tell truth from counterfeit?

In this episode of STRONG, host Kirby Heyborne sits down with actor and AI creator Michael Batty to dive into the "For the Strength of Youth" (FSY) curriculum topic "Truth Will Make You Free: The Search for Truth." After putting Kirby through a hilarious "Camera or Computer" AI guessing game, they explore how to evaluate online claims, seek personal revelation through holy sources, and navigate seasons when answers don't come right away.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The Power of Asking Questions: Why questions are not a sign of weakness, but a catalyst that builds lasting faith.
• Checking the Right Source: Kirby's Chevy Blazer engine disaster and why confidence isn't the same as looking at the right information.
• Holy Things from Holy Sources: How to filter the noise of AI and social media by turning to scriptures, prophets, and God Himself.
• When Answers Don't Come: How living by what you already know line upon line helps you "doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith."
• Youth Real Talk on Safe Conversations: How youth can bring up sensitive questions without fear of judgment, and how leaders can listen with Christlike love.

Take Kirby's weekly challenge: write down one sincere question you have about God or the gospel, take it to Heavenly Father in prayer, and choose one next step—whether studying a scripture, exploring church resources, or inviting a trusted mentor to study with you!
