What do cults, liberal theology, and biblical illiteracy all have in common? Many of them took root because Christians began valuing emotion over intellect.

In this episode, I trace the historical rise of anti-intellectualism within the Church—from revivalism and emotionalism to the birth of cults like Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witnesses, and even the Church’s retreat in the face of Enlightenment skepticism and liberal theology.

This isn't just about history—it's deeply personal. I share how my own crisis of faith was turned around not by rejecting the mind, but by diving deeply into Scripture, theology, philosophy, and church history.

We need both heart and mind. And when we abandon one, especially the mind, we become vulnerable to deception. Let's get back to a faith that thinks deeply, loves Scripture, and seeks truth.
