In this episode of the Ideology Podcast, Drew and Mick dive into the fascinating world of apologetics – the defense of the Christian faith through reason and argument. But this conversation is a bit different. Drew brings an ambivalent perspective, exploring the complexities of defending faith in a world full of competing truth claims.Why do some find apologetics helpful, and others, not so much? How do we navigate the tension between faith and reason, between historical evidence and personal belief? The episode explores these challenges and asks critical questions about the foundations of truth. Is apologetics a way to strengthen our faith, or could it inadvertently lead us to rely too heavily on human reason?Listen in as Drew and Mick unpack how we justify belief, from cosmological and teleological arguments to historical evidence of the resurrection. They also discuss Alvin Plantinga’s ideas on "warranted Christian belief" and reflect on how personal experiences of God shape our understanding of truth.Connect with us:Email: ideologypc@gmail.comYoutube/Instagram: @ideologypcFeel free to share, subscribe, rate, and/or commentResources referenced:Warranted Christian Belief by Alvin PlantingaThe Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach by Michael R.
