Every generation faces the pull to drift from orthodoxy—to chase the thrill of false teaching or to be carried along by the cultural tide. And every generation must be reawakened to the true thrill of orthodoxy: the wonder and surprise found in rediscovering the electrifying paradoxes at the center of the Christian faith.

In this episode, Dr. Jeff talks with Trevin Wax about his book The Thrill of Orthodoxy. Wax turns the tables on the idea that Christian doctrine is narrow or outdated. Drawing from the church's historic creeds, he explains what orthodoxy is, why we can trust it, and how we often wander from it. By revealing how heresies always shrink the truth—elevating one idea at the expense of the whole—Wax shows that false teaching is ultimately dull and predictable, while orthodoxy is where the real adventure begins.
