Noah Herrin warns that our culture's slogan "live your truth" is an almost-truth that plays into the devil's strategy of killing people through lies. Using John 8 (and other passages), he argues that lies are deadly because the human heart is deceitful and changing feelings cannot be the final arbiter of truth. Jesus, Herrin reminds the congregation, calls the devil the "father of lies" and identifies truth as a person - himself. The remedy is to submit to Scripture, preach and live the word boldly and lovingly, and to deepen personal engagement with the Bible (Herrin launches a 30-day Summer of Depth reading plan).
“"There is not a single shred of truth in that statement" (responding to the claim 'there is no such thing as absolute truth') and citing a 2022 study that 66% of American adults believe there is no absolute truth.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Practical takeaways: 1) Resist the cultural ideal of "living your truth"; anchor your life in the objective truth of Scripture. 2) Be willing to speak and lovingly correct friends when they share bad theology, and refuse vague evangelism that edits the Bible. 3) Participate in the church's Summer of Depth (30-day, one-chapter-a-day plan) to deepen personal engagement with God's Word.

Connor Crumpton argues that the common impulse to “just vent” is an almost-true response to anger, fear, and stress that often leads to gossip and more hurt when done by the world’s unspoken rules. He names those rules (just listen, no filters, no friction), tells a personal marriage story to illustrate the damage, and points listeners to 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: God is the source of all comfort.
The Truth About Sex - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin teaches from 1 Thessalonians 4 as part of the “Almost True” series, correcting common cultural half-truths about sex. He argues that Scripture doesn’t restrict sex to diminish joy but to protect and enable the best sexual flourishing - holy sex within the lifelong marital covenant.
Wake Up | Noah Herrin at WAY REVIVAL '26
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 26 (with other biblical references) calling Christians to "wake up" spiritually. He centers on Jesus in Gethsemane and the jarring detail that the disciples fell asleep when asked to keep watch, drawing three main reasons for their sleep: they got comfortable with God's presence, casual with holiness, and careless with their time.
