True Lies

Every culture has its mantras and mottos, the go-to phrases we repeat so often that they’re assumed to be universally true. Although these sayings may seem meaningless, they actually reveal something deeper about the values that people in a society share. If that is the case, what do some of our culture’s favored mantras reveal about our shared values, and how do those values compare to the teachings of Jesus? This series will challenge and inspire you to take a deeper look at our cultural values and assumptions about self-care, sex, relationships, love, and religion, and to consider how Jesus’ words and ways compare.
