Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is President Trump’s nominee for secretary of health and human services. Our postmodern culture is convinced that there is no such thing as objective reality, only your reality and mine. In this view, perception is reality. Satan uses this worldview to convince us that God and his love isn’t real, which then closes us off to God’s transforming love. Today, we talk about how to orient our lives around objective truth and pursue a reality filled with God’s goodness and grace.
