Hey guys, two things I want to share with you before we jump into today's episode.

First, I'm going to be sharing with you an interview I gave with Mr. Psy Kellett on the three biggest mistakes people make in apologetics.

Number two is you might have seen in the background some of my videos a little sculpture.

0:39.0

It is a lemon with a sword. It's holding an olive behind it. They got little legs they're standing on.

And he's fighting a lime. The lime sword fell off. I got a glue it back on.

1:40.0

I do also want to make a caveat that I personally have never made any of these mistakes actually.

1:48.0

2:00.0

Well, I'm glad to hear you say that because I think the only way that people can trust another person is if he tells them that he's best at what he does so good for you or another another way you can trust someone is if they tell you yes I have been down this road before I have learned these lessons.
