Our Defining Moment
We all encounter crossroads. In our personal lives, within our faith and worldview communities, in our institutions, across our nations, and at the global level, we face moments when the way forward is no longer obvious and our choices carry lasting consequences. Every generation is shaped by such moments—times that define its character, direction, and future.
The Question That Matters
At every crossroads, the question is not merely which path is easiest, but which path is true. How can truth itself be known, defended, and lived in a world of competing claims? What is worthy of our allegiance? What can we ultimately trust? In a world of many voices and shifting convictions, where do we find orientation that endures? Across history, these have always been the defining questions. In our time, they return with unmistakable urgency.
Discernment Is Essential
These questions cannot be answered by speed, noise, or superficial debate. They demand discernment: the ability to distinguish truth from illusion, clarity beyond emotion, and direction that transcends culture itself. For this, we draw on the enduring wisdom of Scripture, engaging both heart and mind, faith and reason, conviction and careful thought.
Past, Present, Future
Facing Crossroads Institute engages the ideas, beliefs, trends, and decisions that shape personal, cultural, and public life—past, present, and future, examining them in the light of truth, reason, and Scripture. For without a clear understanding of the past, we lose our ability to rightly interpret the present and responsibly shape the future.
Our Mission
For this reason, Facing Crossroads Institute exists to bring these questions into thoughtful, responsible, and courageous engagement. We do so through speaking, teaching, media, and research, fostering clarity of thought, moral discernment, sound judgment, and principled direction. We seek not only to interpret the times wisely, but to defend and commend the truth faithfully.
Speaking & Presentations
We welcome invitations to speak and present at educational institutions, churches, faith-based ministries, and organizations addressing current issues. Direct inquiries to Dr. Gerhard Erbes at gerhard.erbes@facingcrossroads.org.
The future is shaped by the choices we make today.
