“truth has moved from being a matter of reason to a matter of feeling”

“Meanwhile, much of evangelical Christianity has emphasized the therapeutic and emotive experience of faith above the theological ideas that undergird it. Poor catechesis and avoidance of difficult doctrine means that for many Christians, religious identity is only as secure as the feelings that accompany it” - TGC

…for me is when my kids, when approached with a question of significance, respond with “I feel like”. I’ve started rebuking that by saying “when it is a question like this, your brain should be engaged, not just your feelings.” This is a good article that is a good start in addressing this sort of thing.
