Mondays and Wednesdays we talk about apologetics and theology on the podcast, but Fridays,

sometimes we talk about apologetics and theology because it's free for all Friday. I can talk

about whatever I want to talk about. And today I wanted to share with you an interview I did

on adherent apologetics. This is a non-Catholic YouTube channel, but they invited me to come

on and discuss the current state of apologetic

discourse. I really enjoyed it. They were a great host, and I think you'll benefit a lot from

this interview and definitely go and check out their channel. So here you guys are, and I just

hope you have a very blessed weekend. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to adherent apologetics. I'm so,

so excited to join us today to have Trent Horn. We're going to be talking about apologetics and online discourse and the state of the current temperature. Trent, welcome. Just thank you so much for joining me. How are you doing today? I'm doing well. I'm blessed. I'm really glad to be here chatting with you. Yeah, I'm super excited. So today for everyone,

we're going to talk about like discourse and just what's going on with like the world and whatnot.

Trent, thank you for joining. Just to start, do you want to talk a little bit about like who you are,

what you do, things like that? Sure. My name is Trent Horn. I am a Catholic apologist. I've

been working at Catholic Ancers

since about December of 2012. I was a convert. When I went to junior high in the beginning of high

school, I was a deist. So I was not an atheist, but I was not a Christian either. I believe there

was a god out there, but I thought religion was a crutch for people.

Then I met Christian friends, came around on that, came to believe in Jesus when I was 16 years old, did more investigation into denominations in church history, was received into the Catholic Church, baptized, and confirmed.

2002, I was 17.

Started doing pro-life work after that for a while.

When I graduated college, I traveled the country,

going to college campuses, debating people on the issue of abortion.

Then I started working for a pro-life group after that.
