In this episode, Alisa sits down with Dr. Brian Huffling to tackle one of the most common objections in today’s cultural conversations: “That’s just your interpretation.” Together, they explore why history and the meaning of words are not endlessly malleable, but knowable realities. If someone insists that truth claims are only “interpretations,” they expect you to understand their own words as meaningful — and that contradiction matters.

Dr. Huffling brings his expertise in philosophy, theology, and apologetics to show why objective meaning is essential for making sense of history, Scripture, and even everyday communication. This discussion will equip you to push back against relativism, understand how language works, and stand confidently in the truth.
