Trust Is The Real Topic
Tuesday, 2 December, 2025
Send us a textA hallway chat about flat earth lit the fuse—but the explosion wasn’t about science. It was about trust. We’ve all felt it: headlines that spin, institutions that protect themselves, and platforms that sound more “human” than the people in charge. That’s the current we wade into as we ask a harder question: when credibility sinks across the board, how can Christians rebuild it in public, practical ways that actually serve our neighbors?We start by tracing the rise of alternative authorities—YouTube, TikTok, and influencers—explaining why confident clips often outrun careful research. Then we turn the mirror on the church. From money scandals to abuse coverups to celebrity meltdowns, these well-known failures amplify a broader suspicion: if institutions won’t be honest when it hurts, why should we trust their message when it heals? We share a moving story of someone wounded by church responses to sexuality, underscoring how pain, not just disagreement, drives people away from faith communities.Rather than hand-wringing, we get practical. We outline five habits that rebuild credibility: be present in the community without an agenda; be open and accessible as leaders and neighbors; be transparent about personal struggles and church finances; be honest even when it costs popularity; and be a real community, not a one-person show. These aren’t PR tactics; they’re everyday practices that make the gospel plausible again. If you’ve wondered how to earn a hearing on hard topics—identity, ethics, purpose—this is your field guide to trust lived out loud.Join us, try the one-week challenge to connect beyond your comfort zone, and tell us what you learn.
