trinities 365 - Why debate theology?

https://trinities.org/blog/podcast-36... This episode is a short informal talk I gave in October of 2019 at a missions conference put on by Kingdom of God Ministry and Missions.

After explaining some ways that theological debates relate to evangelism, I then discuss some “ear closers,” factors which prevent the unitarian Christian perspective from being heard. Debates, I suggest, bypass those.

I also explain the usefulness of debates, and why they can help some people, even while being detrimental to other people.

In Q&A following my talk I field mostly practical questions.

Below are links to most of my previous debates, as well as to some other things mentioned in this episode.
