The Freethinking Podcasts

I know, I know, we have not done a podcast in awhile. And by that I mean our last episode was August 27th of 2020! There's no real interesting story as to why we took such a long break, other than the fact that I (Scott) started my M.A. in Philosophy and Tim published a book. As it turns out, this takes up a lot of time. Well, fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for you all, we have come back from our extended hiatus well-rested and ready to talk some more apologetics and theology with you wonderful folks. Or I suppose more accurately, AT you wonderful folks.

In this episode, Tim and I discuss some of the response he received to his book. In particular, we do a brief overview of some of the criticisms raised by Guillaume Bignon, a Calvinist whose views are critiqued in the book. While Tim is still yet to publish his full response, we wanted to give everyone a taste of some of the things he is going to say. Stay tuned for more episodes coming weekly!

Dr. Kelly Fitzsimmons Burton is an epistemologist (a philosopher who studies knowledge) who has authored the books "Reason and Proper Function" and "Retrieving Knowledge: A Socratic Response to Skepticism." Tim Stratton believes her work in epistemology has strengthened his FreeThinking Argument and also provides a platform to speak about what we can KNOW and how we should think about the cultural issues of our day.

Adam Mehdi Mahdavi is an Iranian-American college student who has had enough of being inundated with Critical Theory and cultural Marxism on his college campus. He has decided to fight for freedom and to fight back against this "Goliath."

Mahdavi shares his story and his experience in this interview. Don't miss it!

"Black lives matter." That statement is objectively true, but the organization that goes by that name is evil. Monique Duson used to support the organization but now seeks to replace BLM with the Center for Biblical Unity.

Who is "The Wintery Knight"? He's often referred to as the "Batman" of Christian Apologetics. This is the case because hardly anybody has seen his face unmasked or knows his true identity. One thing we do know is that despite the name "Wintery" he is a person of color. Be that as it may, he loves America and opposes the Marxist revolution growing in our society.

Tim Stratton recently wrote an article affirming peaceful protests but condemning violent and sinful riots in the wake of George Floyd's death. The response from some aspiring Christian theologians was shocking. The FreeThinking team discusses this topic and more on this episode.
