Episode notes
Cafeteria Christian Example
- The cafeteria Christian picks beliefs that feel comfortable and avoids offending others.
- Trent Horn cites Chip and Joanna Gaines featuring a same-sex couple as an example of this tendency.
Challenge Cafeteria Christians With Scripture
- Ask cafeteria Christians if they truly love Jesus and want to be like him.
- Then show them scriptures where Jesus speaks strongly, not just "judge not."
Progressive Christians' Selective Fidelity

- Trent Horn warns this creates confusion and undermines core Christian teachings on life and sexuality.
