Why Reality Matters

Why Reality Matters

Author: The Christian Research Institute February 23, 2026 Duration: 3:18
A Commitment to Reality is a podcast for a post-truth—and increasingly post-reality—age.

We are living through one of the most disorienting periods in human history—leaving many to wonder: What is reality? As artificial intelligence accelerates and institutional trust erodes, our shared sense of what is real continues to crumble.

A commitment to reality is a dedication to discerning what is true and developing the discipline to live in alignment with that truth—with reality. This podcast is an apologetic for reality—each episode serving as an intentional act of grounding our existence together as we commit to what is beautiful, good, and true.
