Dr. Shenvi came to Christ while working for his Ph.D. in theoretical chemistry at UC Berkeley after a campus ministry worker handed him Christian literature. We talk about how important it is for Christians to display Christ in their lives in these ways. Then, we scratch the surface on some answers to a few difficult, age-old theological questions. We discuss the false statement that “we’re not that bad,"...

Kevin and Neil answer these questions and many more. They also dive into Neil’s new book on apologetics and explore the wild world of evangelical Twitter.

In this episode, Haley chats with Neil Shenvi about Critical Theory and why it is antithetical to the gospel.
According to Shenvi, it is an "ideology based on the analysis of power dynamics between the oppressed and their oppressors," and it's becoming more and more influential in our culture.
