Because Truth Matters, Reality Matters–Hank Hanegraaff on A Commitment to Reality

Because Truth Matters, Reality Matters–Hank Hanegraaff on A Commitment to Reality

Author: The Christian Research Institute February 24, 2026 Duration: 1:44
Hank Hanegraaff brings an important announcement about a brand-new initiative at the Christian Research Institute: a new podcast titled A Commitment to Reality, hosted by his son, Dave Hanegraaff. 

This podcast is not only timely but extraordinarily relevant. Why? Because we live in an era of “reality rot.” To paraphrase Blaise Pascal, we live in an age in which truth is so obscure and falsehood so established that, apart from “a commitment to reality,” you simply cannot know it.  

Our new podcast is a powerful complement to CRI’s other podcasts and publications, extending our ministry and mission to a whole new generation of change agents.  

Please subscribe to A Commitment to Reality on YouTube for full episodes and clips, and follow wherever you get your podcasts. You can also help spread the word by rating, reviewing, and telling others about A Commitment to Reality.  

And remember: Because truth matters, reality matters. That’s why we must remain committed to reality.
