Josh, Tim, and Rachel Crawford finish their discussion on relational apologetics. In this episode we focus on multiple arguments for doing this as well as 12 practical tips:
Don’t be a jerk.
Avoid long public Facebook debates. Start with email but try to eventually move to Skype or in person.
Don’t think of this as a war. Daniel Cohen at TED: “If argument equals war, then learning equals losing.”
Be obviously open-minded.
Don’t think of the other person as your project, or a potential notch for your belt.
Actively work to break down stereotypes about pro-lifers.
Understand the value of arguments.
Don’t just debate issues.
As far as religion goes, don’t hide your beliefs or pretend like it doesn’t influence your position if it does, but also don’t drown them in a faith discussion if they aren’t interested.
Allow the person to remain unconvinced.
It is okay to follow cues and make educated guesses to factor into how you make arguments, but don’t treat even a well-educated guess as hard fact.
If you’ve talked with them extensively, give them the “inside scoop” into your pro-life work.

While Rachel Crawford was in town we spontaneously decided to record some improvised roleplay dialogues as well as some post-roleplay commentary. Nothing was scripted out, but it ended up going really well so we decided to turn them into podcast episodes.

September 06, 2015Questions About Confirmation Bias
If you can’t see this video in your RSS reader or email, then click here.
Download Audio MP3 | 00:51:12
Josh and Tim talk about confirmation bias and why that’s a difficult thing to avoid during this political season.
Some of the questions we respond to in this episode:
How hard should we work to balance our social media feeds so that we see both sides of multiple issues when we log into Facebook or Twitter?
Are there any pro-choice films that you recommend to anti-abortion thinkers? In addition, are there any pro-choice films you deem to be morally reprehensible and therefore undeserving of pro-life viewership?
If you usually don’t enjoy the pre-show banter, we’re going to encourage you to listen to it this time. It ends up directly tying with the main topic for the show.
