The Air We Breathe

Why is it that we’ve become so quick to doubt and so slow to believe? In an age of misinformation and broken trust, cynicism has become the dominant spirit of our age—a protective shell we wear to keep from being disappointed again.


In part one of our series, Pastor Tom Kang provides a diagnosis for this "smugness" that chokes our capacity for joy. We often mistake cynicism for discernment, but while true discernment draws us closer to God, cynicism only pushes Him away. Discover why the answer isn't just "being more positive," but learning the holy art of lament—honestly bringing our wounds to God instead of hiding behind a smirk.
