SHOW NOTES

A practical sequel to the prior episode on the laws of logic and informal fallacies. Michael and Wade work through four real-world examples from recent headlines — the Archbishop of Canterbury's address to Pope Leo XIV, an ABC News interview with Elliot Page promoting a "queer in nature" documentary, a New York Times Earth Day climate piece, and an Associated Press story on a trans athlete in West Virginia — then close with four tips for thinking logically as a Christian in an age of pervasive deception.
