Apologetics for Everyone w/ Dr. Mark Farnham
Dr. Mark Farnham graduated from Westminster's PhD program in Apologetics. His book, "Every Believer Confident" was recently released by P&R Publishing. He currently teaches at Lancaster Bible College. Nate sits down with Dr. Farnham to discuss apologetics and how every Christian believer is equipped to do the work of apologetics. It's not just a discipline for those who are trained philosophers or expert theologians. The early Christians didn't get sent off to Athens to learn Aristotelian philosophy before they were allowed to engage their friends and neighbors in evangelism. The Scriptures are sufficient for apologetics.

The Scottish Tempest: The Life of John Knox, ep. 1.
Hey everyone. I hope you're enjoying the interviews with Dr. Shannon. We've been having a great time getting this content produced and out for the world to hear.
This week we're releasing the first episode in a series on the life of John Knox. Ever since I heard about some of the stories from the life of John Knox in a Church History course on the Reformation at Westminster, I've been fascinated by him. That's why this project is pretty near to my heart. There's a lot of material on John Knox out there but, not really in this medium, as far as I know. So if you enjoy it, let us know.
