#292. Adventures in Lutheranism (Homeschool Edition): Competitive Speech and Debate


Listen Later

“Hello, judges, my name is Rachel Bomberger, and I’ll be your next podcast speaker today. My timer is set for 0:00, counting. If all my judges are ready ...? Great. Then let’s begin ...”


In this Adventures in Lutheranism (Homeschool Edition) episode, Rachel introduces Sarah and Erin to the world of competitive speech and debate and shares the story of her own family’s ongoing involvement with the NCFCA Christian Speech and Debate.


Beginning with an overview of the various speech and debate events and what it’s like to attend a tournament in person, Rachel then answers Sarah and Erin’s specific questions (“How is this part of the kids’ education?,” “What's the craziest thing they've had to debate?,” and the like). At the end of the episode, she puts her cohosts on the spot and challenges them to an on-air impromptu speech round.

Correction: Since time of recording, NCFCA has announced that they will discontinue moot court in future seasons.
