Ambassador Academy, episode 15: Personal Testimony (with an emphasis on apologetics)

After the New Year 2018, our Ambassador Academy class switched from a heavy emphasis on theology to a heavy emphasis on apologetics. (Note: a rough definition of "apologetics" is the intellectual defense of the Christian faith.) In preparing for the new series, I came to the conclusion that I ought to tell my story so that it would be clear why apologetics is so important to me. So this episode is mostly my personal testimony: about how I came to Christ, about our family history of various times we moved houses and hometowns and how that affecting my faith and church life, about the extremely tumultuous freshman year of college where I nearly became an atheist, about how I met and married my wife, etc. etc. etc. This episode ends with a quick rundown of important books in my library and why they are important to me. (And also some books from other worldviews and how to properly analyze other worldviews.)
