"The simple definition I would give for [a false gospel] is a solution for a problem that we have in our lives that doesn't contain Christ."

— Elizabeth Woodson

Today's Episode: Most of us are unknowingly chasing false gospels—solutions to our deepest desires that don't contain Christ and leave us feeling empty and dissatisfied. Elizabeth Woodson reveals how so many of culture’s promises of things like peace or identity or success actually lead us away from the abundant life that we can only find in Jesus. Elizabeth shares practical ways to recognize and resist the lies of culture, including the vital practice of meditating on Scripture, showing up in community, and waiting patiently on God's timing. You'll be encouraged by Elizabeth's personal stories of God's kind work to help her identify and resist false gospels in her own life.
