Stream or download the audio recording from this breakout session titled The Thrill of Orthodoxy with Trevin Wax that was delivered at The Gospel Coalition’s 2019 National Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. We live in an age that resists authority, dogma, and institutions. Those who challenge historic doctrines and practices are seen as heroic and courageous, as if there is something inherently attractive and exciting in being heterodox. To defend the faith, we must not merely rely on rational arguments in favor of orthodoxy but also display the beauty and power of Christian truth in a way that makes the appeal of heresy pale in comparison.
