The Problem Isn’t the World — It’s the Church that's Afraid to Be Different
In this powerful episode, Cynthia Garrett challenges believers to take a hard look at the Church and ask: Have we become too afraid to stand out? Cynthia unpacks a convicting truth — the world is simply being the world, but the real issue is a Church that has lost its boldness, traded holiness for popularity, and compromised truth for cultural comfort.
Drawing from Scripture, her personal journey in Hollywood, and the message of her latest book *The Naked Truth*, Cynthia calls listeners back to a gospel that’s not watered down — but fully alive in grace, holiness, love, and truth. She confronts the lies of a culture that equates love with agreement and encourages believers to be the light, not a dim reflection of the darkness around them.
If you’ve ever felt tension between being liked and being holy, this episode is a wake-up call to rise, burn brightly, and be the remnant that remembers who we are in Christ.
Key Topics:
* Why the Church must stop blending in
* The danger of a “feel-good” gospel
* Holiness vs. legalism
* Radical love without compromise
* Standing for truth in a culture of confusion
