AK47 Season 2 Episode 36: Our Experience As Talbot Philosophy Students

Aaron and Kyle come back together to discuss our experience studying philosophy at Talbot.  We talk about why we decided to go to Talbot, whether or not Talbot can help you achieve your goals in academia or ministry, what the philosophy professors there are like, our experience with the community at the campus, and some reasons why one may not want to attend Talbot.  We hope this will be useful for those who are thinking about going to Talbot for philosophy.

The AK47 Podcast Season 2: Episode 11

I am doing a new series of interviews interviewing people who are Christian apologists, but not academics.  My purpose in these interviews is to encourage Christians who want to do apologetics, have apologetics ministries, or implement apologetics into their discussions with skeptics, but don't want to spend thousands of dollars of their money and years of their time on formal degrees in apologetics or other related fields.

Kyle continues his series on becoming an apologist without getting an advanced degree by interviewing Clinton Wilcox.  Clinton is a Christian, but he mostly engages in pro-life speaking and debate.  He has defended the pro-life position in both written and verbal form for years and he has done this without getting an advanced degree.  Despite this, he is very intelligent and informed on the topic.  In this interview, I ask him how he got into pro-life apologetics and how people can prepare themselves to intellectually defend the unborn without having to spend thousands of dollars and years of time getting a degree.
