Bryce Crawford asserts that individuals should not feel that they need to hide from God when they make mistakes or choose sinful behaviors.

“God's not mad at you when you choose those things over him. It just breaks his heart.”

A relationship with God provides the necessary grounding and humility to navigate life's challenges.

“I don't think it's possible to be close to God without humility. So, whenever you feel like Well, well, this is what I do. Whenever I feel like I'm losing my humility, I take a step back and I pray and I try to center.”

The Bible and its scriptures are the essential keys to renewing one's mind and overcoming life's struggles.

“and that's been the key thing and this is what I'm telling people right now these Sacred Scriptures have made the difference in my life”

Faith in Christ acts as a fundamental cornerstone that provides a path to healing and a sense of purpose during periods of despair.

“Because if you know at a minimum that that he died for us and he died for our sins, then you begin to contemplate, all right, the sin of self-loathing, the sin of of, you know, of of not believing that you're good enough or you're capable enough or that life will change.”

A strong faith helps individuals move past challenges and focus on the immortal game rather than the mortal game.

“It's easier too. I know for me when my faith is stronger because I can slough those things off because I'm going, "No, no, no. I'm playing an immortal game here. Stay. That's the game I'm playing. Don't worry about the mortal game. Worry about the immortal game."”

Faith in God is necessary to prevent the spread of harmful ideologies like wokeness.

“If there's no faith, that's how you wind up with the mo woke mind virus, right? That was an antidote to people who needed something in their hearts and their heads after they shut out God. But I feel like our side, the side of reason, still has God.”

John believes that religion serves a vital role in providing community, morality, and purpose, and thus he does not want to see it disappear from society.

“I would not eliminate religion and I would not eliminate Mormonism because I don't think secular people have figured out a way to create not just community but morality, spirituality, um uh a sense of meaning, a sense of purpose, a sense of identity in any sustainable, coherent, lasting, profoundly ”

Maintaining faith during unjust suffering is a moral requirement and an act of courage rather than mere naivety.

“it's a moral requirement not to lose faith so that's actually a form of courage rather than a form of naivity you know”

She asserts that Catholicism represents the truth and a guard against destructive forces in society.

“there has to be for something to try to destroy it that bad, for Satan to hate it that bad, it's because it represents truth.”

Christianity is uniquely targeted for disparagement because it represents the truth that stands against the world systems controlled by Satan.

“And that's why everything in the world aligns against one thing in particular, and it's Christianity, Christ, and Christians. That's baseline.”

Faith and reason are compatible and the existence of God can be reached through philosophical arguments independent of faith.

“I guess I would say that even if I don't have an answer to the problem of evil, I can still say given my experience and given all these arguments I have for God's existence which outweigh this argument, I can conclude that evil exists and I don't understand it.”

Faith and reason are in harmony, serving as two wings that help the human person ascend toward truth.

“john paul ii put it in a very beautiful way he said that faith and reason are two wings that the human person uses to fly up towards the truth and so the idea is that there's a kind of harmony”

Faith is a necessary condition for reason, as it serves as the foundation and the purpose for all inquiry.

“faith is is never against reason but it's the condition for the possibility and the purpose of reason”

Human beings cannot discover some fundamental truths through mere analysis; one must live them out as an act of faith, similar to a leap into the unknown.

“I think that there are some truths that you cannot simply discover you have to live them you have to make the experiment”

The Bible is a reliable source for religious truth that stands up to deep intellectual inquiry.

“I was just absolutely amazed that it stood up to as much inquiry as I could give it in just this the way that Aquinas said as you said earlier.”
