Episode 50: Where the Gospel Meets Fake News
Christians say they believe in pursuing the truth, but what happens when we can’t tell the difference between truth and deception? The story of how the “King of Fake News” got his crown, the consequences of believing lies, and how a librarian is rallying Christians to push back.
This episode is in partnership with The Holy Post.
