The WAY, the Truth & the Life
01 | Synopsis
In a world increasingly shaped by religious pluralism, The Way, The Truth, and The Life challenges the modern assumptions of equality among all religious worldviews. Hosted by Steven Martins, founder of the Cántaro Institute, this groundbreaking first episode exposes the critical difference between religious plurality and religious pluralism—and why the West’s attempt to harmonize all philosophies of life into one cultural narrative is destined to fail.
Through a compelling exploration of history, philosophy, and Scripture, Martins argues that life is inescapably religious, and that even secularism, atheism, and scientism function as religious worldviews. In an age that seeks to validate all paths as equal, he presents a daring alternative: the exclusive claim of Jesus Christ, who declared Himself to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Joined by Dr. Ted Van Raalte of the Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary, Dr. David Robinson of Westminster Chapel, and Rev. Kasey Horvath of All-Saints Church, the documentary contrasts the human-centered paths of major world religions with the divine-centered way of Christ. While all other philosophies elevate human achievement as the means of salvation, Christianity proclaims that salvation is found in Christ alone.
As modern culture reels under the contradictions of competing worldviews, The Way invites viewers to reconsider not only the nature of truth but the very foundation of how we ought to live. Is it possible for a society to stand on countless conflicting beliefs—or is there, as Jesus claimed, only one true Way?
The journey begins here.
