| 0:00.0 | What should apologetics look like for this current generation? |
| 0:05.0 | What does it mean that apologetics is for everyone and not just for specialists? |
| 0:09.0 | And how is the gospel good news, especially for women? |
| 0:13.0 | We'll discuss these questions and a whole lot more around the new book that Sean is edited entitled Apologetics for an Ever-Changing Culture. |
| 0:20.0 | I'm your host today, Sean, my guest. |
