In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores the tension between free speech and viewpoint diversity in higher education. Are universities truly open to different perspectives—or only the ones they already agree with? Looking through a biblical lens, Pastor Zach argues that honest debate sharpens us, but without God’s wisdom guiding us, free speech can spiral into chaos. Scripture calls us to seek truth, not just talk. And in a world full of noise, God's voice remains the clearest authority.
