Hour 1: Is Christianity Delusional and Dangerous?
Join us for a fascinating conversation with a brilliant Christian apologist who recently spoke at MIT. What kinds of questions did these young minds want answered? Were their issues science-based or were the majority of the questions “meaning” questions? What IS a meaning question? Learn how to contend for the faith through engaging conversation from one of the best in Christian apologetics.
