In this episode Andrew & Leah interview Jay Medenwaldt about what psychology can contribute to apologetics. We talk about Jay’s conversion to faith and how he began studying apologetics & psychology. We learn about what psychology brings to apologetics tactics, the design argument, and having better conversations.

The segments are presidential election themed from non-human candidates to charitable actions across party lines.
