In this episode of the GO Year of Discipleship Podcast, Ryan explains what apologetics really is. It doesn’t mean apologizing, and it isn’t about winning fights in the comment section. He shares how to stay calm and kind when someone thinks you’re wrong, and why the goal of a hard conversation isn’t to win the debate but to find the truth. He also tells the story of how he sought out the smartest people who disagreed with him and ended up changing his own view of the book of Revelation.

We also dig into why so many young Christians walk away from their faith. Ryan explains how treating every issue as a gospel issue turns faith into a house of cards, and what it means to be “captivated by the things that don’t matter and bored by the things that do.” Plus, a line from “Amazing Grace” you’ve probably sung a hundred times and never noticed.

Whether you’re a student heading into a gap year, a parent, or someone who has ever been stumped by a hard question about your faith, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!

In this episode of the GO Year of Discipleship Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. David Horner, Professor of Theology and Philosophy at Biola University. Together, we explore the growing role of technology in the classroom and how it is shaping the way students learn, think, and engage with the world around them.

How can we approach technology with wisdom while preserving the importance of critical thinking, meaningful learning, and human connection? Join us as we consider the importance of thinking carefully about the tools we use and the role our faith plays in navigating an ever-changing world.

Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Horner as we explore the intersection of education, technology, and a biblical worldview. Whether you’re a student, educator, or lifelong learner, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
