0:00.0	Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where each week we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity, value, intellect, and creativity of women.
0:10.6	I'm Erin Kunkel.
0:11.8	And I'm Sarah Stone Street. We're so glad you're here.
0:18.5	So today on the Strong Women podcast, Sarah and I are reflecting on the first part of our conversation with Hillary Ferrer and her whole journey into faith, but also into this world of apologetics.
0:33.3	We thought we talked about our own journeys a little bit and then reflect on our conversation,
0:39.3	of course, with Hillary.
0:40.8	So apologetics, you know, coming from the Greek word apologia, meaning to make a defense,
0:46.9	it's really this field of study where you are learning the reasons kind of the wise of the whats that we believe in Christianity.
0:58.2	And so that we are able, like first Peter 315 talks about, to make a defense to the unbelieving world around us.
1:07.0	And that is good for us in our own faith and trust journey with the Lord, but it's also good, as I say, to have things to say, to help the unbelieving people around us to sometimes move away the arguments or roadblocks that they have in coming to faith in Christ.

2:00.7	you know, just really on fire about learning, all the things. And so they were, you know, just really on fire about learning all the things.
2:04.2	And so I watched them and probably picked up way more than I thought I did. But for some reason,
2:11.1	growing up, I still had these categories in my head that, you know, Christianity was about my faith in Jesus, you know,
2:20.5	which, of course, it's not less than that. But I remember my junior year of high school. I
2:26.9	remember where I was sitting. I don't remember who was talking. I think it was Dr. Myers
