TRADING PLACES: Christian Apologist James Walker Interviewed on Atheist Edge YouTube Channel [Part 2]

For the next two broadcasts of Apologetics Profile, we're stepping away from our normal "interview" format to bring you a special rebroadcast in two parts of a panel discussion between two atheists and two theists.
