Aaron Kyle

In the next episode of Kyle's apologetics series, he has Richard Porter on to talk about how you can learn apologetics without having to spend years of your life and thousands of dollars of your money getting an advanced degree.  We get to know how Richard became a Christian and got into apologetics, how to learn apologetics effectively, the usefulness of verbal and written debates on the truth of Christianity, Richard's views of Reformed Epistemology and Lydia McGrew's approach to arguing for biblical reliability, the importance of mentors and reading hard books, and more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronkyle47/support

Aaron and Kyle get together to do their very first film commentary.  We watch Nacho Libre and talk about it. . . Though we mostly end up talking about politics, American history, and related topics.  After the movie is over, we continue talking about church involvement in the lives of its single congregants.  We encourage you to watch the movie with us during the course of the episode, but you don't have to in order understand or benefit from our conversation. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronkyle47/support

Aaron and Kyle come back together to discuss our experience studying philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University.  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. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronkyle47/support

Libby Emmons is back! She discusses metoo, drugs and miniskirts and loads of other inappropriate stuff with Aaron.  You can find her writing all over the place. Just google Libby Emmons and you'll find some controversial topic that she's opinionating all over.  Also, and this isn't the first time, the explicit tag is on here for a reason. Whenever we tag something with the dreaded E it's because naughty words are spoken. Aaron is just sick of taking the time to put bleeps in when no one really cares that much about naughty words anymore.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronkyle47/support

The audio on this episode is horrible but the content is excellent. Remember we're only semi-pro pod casters and still use guerrilla podcasting tactics.  In any case Dr. Paul Gottfried is easily one of the most accomplished guests we've ever had on the show and next time Aaron will make sure the audio is fitting for a scholar of his immensity.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronkyle47/support

Aaron and Kyle are back after hiding in the shadows for way too long!  They discuss Chappelle's new comedy special on Netflix, comedy in general, and a little bit about what recently happened to Joshua Harris, the author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye.  Of course, politics are big part of the conversation as well.  About an hour and 26 minutes into the recording you'll notice a pause because we ended up having some technical difficulties and had to cut our conversation short, but we'll try to continue the Joshua Harris conversation when we're more prepared in a future episode. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronkyle47/support

Mark Hemingway is back to help Aaron break down the recent intramural Conservative debate between First Things and National Review, a debate that apparently everyone else wanted to have also. It started with this piece by Sohrab Ahmari and then mushroom clouded over the entire internet. Mark pointed out that this is really a continuation of the debate sparked by Patrick Deneen in his now infamous book Why Liberalism Failed. There is no easy way to characterize this debate because it stems from the fundamentally anti ideological philosophy of Edmund Burke. This quality continues to be both the main strength of Conservative thought and also the point of tension that has generated endless debate.  Also check out Mollie Hemingway's (Mark's Wife) book on the Kavanaugh Debacle coming out soon. It's gonna be a massive success! And of course Mark gives us new music recommendations!

Today's episode is with a very special guest from The Federalist writing family: Libby Emmons! She's a playwright, cultural commentator,  a mother, the wife of David Marcus. Basically she's awesome and we've been meaning to have her on the show for a while but it was this article on the Roxanne Gaye vs Christina Hoff Summers debates in Australia that finally moved the pieces.  Aaron promised to link to a bunch of stuff in the show notes, but he and Kyle are both experiencing Familial difficulties at the moment so none of their recent promises mean anything at the moment. Google Libby Emmons, she's written all over the place!  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aaronkyle47/support
