Faith Unmasked: When Facts Fail the Faith
The truth will set you free... but only if you seek it without fear and speak it without compromise.
In a world where nearly anything can be verified in seconds, the credibility of the church depends on one thing above all: truth. Yet far too often, words spoken in the name of faith are built on weak foundations. A single inaccurate statement can travel unchecked, repeated until it feels unquestionable, even when it is completely wrong. The damage may be subtle at first, but it grows. Trust fades. Doubt takes root. The message loses its strength.
Faith Unmasked: When Facts Fail the Faith is the first volume in the Faith Unmasked series, a bold examination of moments when the church's witness is weakened by the careless handling of truth. Army veteran, ordained minister, and nonprofit leader Dominick Leon draws from personal experience, including a religious webinar where a false claim about the natural world was delivered with complete confidence and accepted without question. That moment became the starting point for exploring how misinformation takes root in faith settings and why it is so dangerous.
This is not an attack on the church. It is a defense of it. Through real experiences, biblical teaching, and practical guidance, Leon calls leaders and believers alike to a higher standard. He shows how accuracy and integrity can work alongside conviction and passion, and how a faith grounded in truth can withstand both questions and criticism.
Inside this book, you will find:
Clear examples of how misinformation spreads in religious settings, from repeated myths to verses taken out of context.
The real cost of getting it wrong, including how false claims erode trust, discourage seekers, and damage the witness of the church.
The truth about faith and facts, and how science, history, and Scripture can work together to strengthen belief.
Practical ways to develop discernment so you can recognize errors and correct them with grace and wisdom.
A vision for a stronger and more credible witness that protects truth at every level.
Each chapter builds on the last, beginning with the personal story that inspired this work and moving toward a path forward for anyone who wants to speak about God with both courage and accuracy. Readers will be challenged to think carefully, to ask questions, and to hold themselves and their leaders to the highest standard of truth.
This is more than a book. It is an invitation to take part in a movement within the body of Christ that refuses to accept something as true simply because it sounds right. It calls for a faith that can stand up to honest examination and remain unshaken.
Whether you are a pastor, a Bible study leader, a new believer, or someone who has been in church for decades, Faith Unmasked: When Facts Fail the Faith will give you the tools to guard against error and the confidence to share your faith with honesty and strength.
The Faith Unmasked series will continue to address the blind spots, habits, and traditions that weaken the church's message. Each volume will take on a specific problem and offer practical solutions to restore credibility and trust. This journey begins here, with the decision to face the ways truth has been neglected and to make certain it happens no more.
Faith that stands on truth will endure. Faith that stands on falsehood will fall. The choice is ours.
