47: Can You Prove God Exists? Part II

The Patrick Coffin Show | Interviews with influencers | Commentary about culture | Tools for transformation

This episode continues the energetic exchange of last week’s live interview with philosopher Ed Feser. After the show proper, we turned the mikes over to the audience. This week’s special Part II show is the result!

Remember, Dr. Feser is the man that professor emeritus of Oxford, Dr. Richard Dawkins, does not want to debate. You can see why in this lively Q&A session, held at St. John the Baptist in Costa Mesa, CA. Feser is sharp, clear, funny, and engages the issues in a way that resonates with young people especially.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to answer basic (and more complex) questions about theism
• Effective ways to listen before giving answers even true and accurate answers
• Additional sources of information and formation for Christians looking to improve their communication skills with atheists
• The importance of patience and humility in the process
