Summary

How do you reason with people who don't want to reason? Is it even possible? How do you respond when those you love say that reason and evidence are just power plays to support your "oppressive" position? You know, the position they don't agree with but can't articulate WHY? In this special podcast episode, Frank responds to a heartfelt message shared by a member of our private CrossExamined Community—a father struggling with the fact that his two children have exchanged the authority of Scripture for the authority of self. You'll learn the best questions to ask when people say they don't believe in objective truth and why no one can claim to be "progressive" if they're going in the opposite direction of Jesus.
