In a world full of different beliefs, worldviews, and religions—how do we know which one is true? Is Christianity just one of many valid paths to God? Or is Jesus really the only way?

In this episode of Young Not Dumb, we’re diving into one of the most important (and most uncomfortable) questions of faith:
👉 Do all roads lead to God?
👉 Are all religions just different versions of the same truth?
👉 Is it closed-minded to say there’s only one way to heaven?

👉 What about people who have never heard the Gospel, do they go to heaven?

We’ll talk about what Jesus actually said, why truth matters more than feelings, and how to approach this topic with both conviction and compassion.

🔍 Whether you’ve wrestled with doubts, had conversations with friends of different faiths, or just wondered why Christianity claims to be the only way—this episode is for you.

📖 Featuring Scripture, honest discussion, and helpful tools to stand firm in your faith and share truth in love.
