Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist and Speaker, Trent Horn.

Today joining me is Jimmy Aiken, Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, and we're going to talk

about apologetics methodology.

So, we talk a lot about defending the Catholic faith, defending Christianity here on the

channel.

But we don't often talk about the disagreements different Christians have when it comes to

how we do that, how do we make a defense, what are the different ways we can do that, and

you might have noticed that difference recently in my debate with Jay Dyer.

So, Jay is an Eastern Orthodox Apologist, but he embraces a view of apologetics that

focuses on presuppositionalism.

So, our debate that you've got to listen to here on the channel recently was about the

project of natural theology.

Can we use reason to come to know that God exists?

Can Christians and atheists start on an equal footing with reason and reason our way to

God's existence?

Or do we have to do something else in order to do that?

So, I thought it would be fun to have Jimmy come on the show today to talk about the debate

a little bit, talk about methodology, because I think a lot of the concepts that came up

in the debate about these differences might have flowed, you know, things were kind of

moving the fast and furious, if you will.
