ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Hosted by Dave Hanegraaff
Commitment to Reality is a podcast for a post-truth—and increasingly post-reality—age. 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. Reality is the way the world truly is—independent of our beliefs, opinions, or illusions. If truth is the map by which we navigate our lives, then it is no surprise that we feel disoriented when we live by lies. The post-truth, post-reality crisis is not merely an intellectual problem; it is an existential one. 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.

What does it mean to be a fool for Christ? Honestly, it sounds like a contradiction. Those who know Christ are meant to be wise—not fools.But what if following Christ faithfully means looking foolish in the eyes of the world?

Sin is a problem. But, one of the great psychological tragedies of the West is a misunderstanding of sin.
