In this episode we're going to look at the life of influential 20th century apologist and evangelical leader, Francis Schaeffer. I'm pretty late to learning about Schaeffer, first being introduced to him through his excellent video series How Should We Then Live near the end of 2020. Through that series and reading about his life I've come to appreciate Schaeffer and his impact on Christianity in the modern age. 

Schaeffer was a pretty cool guy with his awesome goatee and knickerbockers who happened to do an amazing job communicating the gospel and inspiring a generation. He's sometimes called a modern prophet and while I'm not sure about that he did have a knack for understanding the forces at play in the world and helping explain them through a Biblical worldview.
