Why are Christians So Intolerant of Other People's Beliefs?
by Cara Erickson on September 18th, 2025
Intolerance is often used as a criticism against Christianity, but the truth is that intolerance is unavoidable—every worldview excludes something. The real issue is not whether we disagree, but how we treat those we disagree with. This post explores the difference between objective intolerance (standing for truth) and subjective intolerance (devaluing people), showing that Christianity uniquely holds both uncompromising truth and radical inclusion at the same time. Far from being the most intolerant, Christianity proclaims the most inclusive God—one who calls every person to Himself while affirming their worth as image bearers of God.  Read More
Songs from "Those" People
by Seth Shelton on September 3rd, 2025
For centuries, Christians have debated how worship through song should look—whether hymns or Psalms, instruments or a cappella, traditional or contemporary styles. Today, those debates continue under the banner of the “worship wars,” but the battleground has shifted: Should churches sing songs written by ministries or authors with whom they strongly disagree? At The Way Church, we recognize the weight of both caution and freedom in this conversation. While some warn against supporting problematic ministries, others remind us that the church has long sung songs penned by flawed people. Our approach is neither dismissive nor careless. We carefully evaluate every song we sing by four priorities: biblical and doctrinal accuracy, gospel saturation, singability, and missional effectiveness. Above all, we believe worship must be God-centered—lifting our eyes to His worthiness while also building up His people. This means that, while we occasionally use songs from controversial sources, we do so selectively and thoughtfully, always aiming to glorify God and proclaim Christ with clarity and joy. True worship, after all, both honors the Lord and benefits His people, drawing hearts to deeper trust and greater delight in Him.  Read More

Is truth relative or is there an absolute truth? Can each person hold to their own truth? Who am I to tell someone they are wrong about what they believe? These are some of the questions we are seeking to answer in this post on truth.  Read More
