Join Ben and John Paul as they talk with Dr. Sean McDowell about teenagers, love, sex, gender, and relationships and Dr. McDowell’s new book and study, Chasing Love.
Show Notes and Quotes:
These issues have become much more personal for this generation that they are no longer academic. They are dealing with their friends, neighbors, and peers, which transforms the way we have to approach and deal with these issues.
Students are being forced to wrestle with these issues in the context of knowing a friend, family member, or peer. Students are asking how do I reconcile what I hear on one side and what I believe about this with someone that I care about.
Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church—young people in particular—to make the case for the Christian faith. He connects with audiences in a tangible way through humor and stories while imparting hard evidence and logical support for a biblical worldview. Sean is an Associate Professor in the Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology at Biola University. Sean has one of the leading apologetics blogs, which can be read at seanmcdowell.org.
