Summary

Are secular universities intentionally shaping a generation of Marxists? Parents and students must be aware of the social and political atmosphere that awaits them when they step on a college campus. How should Christian students respond when they encounter professors and peers pushing views that are in sharp opposition to their faith?Last week, Dr. Owen Anderson shared five key philosophical challenges Christian students will likely face during their college years. This week, he's back with five more, breaking down the flaws in these worldviews, how they infiltrated universities, and how to defend Christianity against them.Resources mentioned during the episode:Blog post: https://crossexamined.org/ten-philosophical-challenges-christian-students-face-at-secular-university...
