Episode 56: 56 Street Epistemology: A Secret Strategy for Creating Atheists? (Part 2)

[NOTE: This podcast is also available on video here: https://youtu.be/jvwhJpZiQZ8]On part two of our special two-part video and podcast episode of Peter Boghossian and Street Epistemology, Watchman Fellowship staff apologist Daniel Ray speaks with senior apologist Brady Blevins about how to recognize a street epistemology conversation and how we can and should respond. If you have children or grandchildren active on social media sharing their faith or if they are away at college, they are likely to encounter atheists using the tactics and techniques of street epistemology. In this day and time, where it seems truth is in short supply, it is more crucial than ever that we know why we believe what we believe. The difficult questions and challenges to our faith are on the rise. We must be prepared to give a defense for the hope that is in us with gentleness and reverence (1 Peter 3:15). Street epistemology is a growing, worldwide phenomena used by many atheists and skeptics for the purpose of getting believers to doubt and/or give up their faith altogether. On this episode you'll hear and see real-world examples of street epistemologists engaging people with their carefully crafted questions and we'll give you the practical and biblical tips and insights as to how you can respond. We have prepared a treasure trove of resources on this important topic. In addition to this podcast and video, we have prepared three additional videos on the topic as well as a four-page Profile on Peter Boghossian and Street Epistemology.STREET EPISTEMOLOGY RESOURCESDaniel has also written a 4-page Profile on Peter Boghossian and produced three additional videos on Street Epistemology for you to share with anyone you know who may have encountered SE online or at college. 4-page Profile on Peter Boghossian by Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/SE Daniel's first review of street epistemology: https://youtu.be/_irb_8f0klc This video was reviewed by street epistemologists: https://youtu.be/FsJgmRyrsU0 Daniel's book review of How to Have Impossible Conversations: https://youtu.be/A1G1KTt1qgc This video was also reviewed by street epistemologists: https://youtu.be/0BfC9PME5a0 Daniel's third review of the street epistemologists' "confidence scale": https://youtu.be/ScHiMqtQE3U (The street epistemologist have not yet reviewed this video.
