Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, I often ask people who are not Christians, if Christianity were true, would you become a Christian?

And sometimes people will be honest and say, no. Okay, they're going to decide what they're going to believe based on what their desires are. I get it.

But there are also people out there who do want Christianity to be true, but they are deceived about what Christianity actually is.

The subtitle of Happy Lies is how a movement you probably never heard of shaped our self-obsessed world, and it's even done that in the church.

So what can you do to identify these happy lies?

How can you respond to them?

Melissa is going to tell us, by the way, for those you don't know, Melissa has a great
