Today we are posting an interview Lindsey Medenwaldt, Director of Ministry Operations at Mama Bear Apologetics. She’s written a new book about how to overcome relational barriers and graciously reach out to those with whom we disagree, specifically as it relates to sharing aspects of our faith. Her book is called Bridge-Building Apologetics. Lindsey also serves as a consulting editor for the Christian Research Journal; she holds a Master’s in Apologetics and Ethics from Denver Seminary, a JD from St. Mary’s School of Law and a Master’s degree in Public Administration from Midwestern State University. Her primary apologetics focus is on world religions and how we talk to people of other faiths. For more parenting resources, go to axis.org

We discuss the complexities of Billie Eilish as an artist, the ways her music represents said complexity, and the very sexual song LUNCH.
