Every day, we are bombarded with information and images that may or may not be what they seem. How do we know what to believe? Are there trustworthy sources? What is our Christian responsibility in consuming and sharing information?

Join us as our panelists consider the media’s role and public concerns regarding this issue, how to recognize false information and misleading images, and our responsibility as Christians in consuming and sharing information. Then offer your own questions and comments for discussion.
