| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the thinking fellows podcast. My name is Caleb Keith. Today I'm joined by Adam Francisco, Scott Keith, and Bruce Hillman. Thinking Fellows is part of the 1517 podcast network of shows. You can go to 1517.org slash podcasts to see all of our shows there. You can also subscribe to 1517 on YouTube. You can go do that now. There's a link in the show notes below to that, and we have all sorts of new video coming out over there every week. Okay, guys, so this episode, I'm basically going to ask you, what are you working on? |
| 0:55.9 | What are you guys thinking about? What are some theological problems that you've got rolling around in your mind? |
| 1:01.2 | Have you been writing anything for 1517? Do you have a speaking engagement coming up? |
| 1:06.0 | What's that topic about and why does it matter? Give you an opportunity to have people engage with some of the |
| 1:11.1 | other work that we do around here. And then if we have time, maybe I'll read some stuff that's |
| 1:16.3 | going on in Christianity right now and just get you guys's reactions. So Adam, you're working on. |
| 1:22.6 | You're writing anything right now? Is there stuff people should know about? Should go read from you. |
| 1:26.8 | I know you're speaking |
| 1:27.8 | soon enough here in Texas. So what do you got going on? Well, we did a show on the reasoned defense |
| 1:34.5 | of the faith. That book just came out, what, I think five, six days ago. And it's sort of, it's connected |
| 1:41.3 | to the nexus of apologetic stuff I'm working on. You mentioned, though he didn't use the name yet, the apologetics conference in March, March 13th and 14th. |
| 1:49.3 | So a lot of planning involved in that. |
| 1:53.4 | We have, I don't know how much I can say, but 1517 is working with another group that is recording a apologetics course at the end of the summer at Cambridge University with some heavy hitting folks. |
| 2:09.6 | Stay tuned for an announcement there. |
| 2:12.0 | I think you can just announce it. |
| 2:13.7 | Yeah, just say it. |
| 2:14.4 | Okay, so working with Discovery Institute, Stephen C. Meyer and others, |
| 2:21.6 | yeah, Chad Bird and I are going out to record some lectures with them. |
| 2:24.9 | So that'll be huge because, as I'm told, not only is it going to be this package course, |
| 2:30.6 | I think at Discovery, they're calling it the mother of all apologetics courses, |
| 2:34.8 | but the distribution list for that is going to be in the millions, and it's going to be |
| 2:41.1 | multi-language, meaning Adam's going to be speaking in English. They're in Cambridge, but when |
