In this episode, we’ll continue talking about the third of what Tim perceives to be Bignon’s problems with his book: philosophical objections. Link to Tim’s Rejoinder:

Ep. 140 Tim and Scott Discuss their Epistemological Leanings
The Freethinking Podcast
Finally, in this episode, Tim and I stake out where we tend to lean in the epistemological debates I've been talking about. Spoiler alert: neither of us takes a particularly strong position, but we point out what we believe to be the biggest issues in both sides. We'd like to revisit this topic again in the future, hopefully with some special guests to help us think through these things.

Ep. 139 The Problem of Skepticism
The Freethinking Podcast
In this episode, we take a closer look at some of the skeptical theories of knowledge (if it's accurate to call them that). We talk about pure skepticism and weaker forms of skepticism, and see that it likely isn't a live option, particularly for the Christian, to maintain such a strong form of skepticism.

Ep. 138 Internalism vs. Externalism: An Epistemological Discussion
The Freethinking Podcast
In the second episode in our series discussing epistemology, we take a look at two opposing views on the nature of justification: internalism and externalism. I lay out what each of these views looks like and place it in the broader context of the epistemological project. Fun ep!

Ep. 137 Gina Carano & Epistemology
The Freethinking Podcast
No, those two topics are not related, but Tim and I start out this podcast talking about the Gina Carano controversy. If you're not interested in that, feel free to skip to about the 10 minute mark for our discussion on epistemology. In these next couple of episodes, I'll be laying out some various views and problems in epistemology that I learned about while attending my first semester in my master's program. This episode introduces the topics and talks about my general experience in school so far.

Ep. 136 We're Back! Tim Discusses the Response to His Book
The Freethinking Podcast
I know, I know, we have not done a podcast in awhile. And by that I mean our last episode was August 27th of 2020! There's no real interesting story as to why we took such a long break, other than the fact that I (Scott) started my M.A. in Philosophy and Tim published a book. As it turns out, this takes up a lot of time. Well, fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for you all, we have come back from our extended hiatus well-rested and ready to talk some more apologetics and theology with you wonderful folks. Or I suppose more accurately, AT you wonderful folks. In this episode, Tim and I...

Ep. 135 Freethinking About Reason, Knowledge, & Current Events
The Freethinking Podcast
Dr. Kelly Fitzsimmons Burton is an epistemologist (a philosopher who studies knowledge) who has authored the books "Reason and Proper Function" and "Retrieving Knowledge: A Socratic Response to Skepticism." Tim Stratton believes her work in epistemology has strengthened his FreeThinking Argument and also provides a platform to speak about what we can KNOW and how we should think about the cultural issues of our day.
info_outlineMany have been asking why FreeThinking Ministries has taken a detour from discussing things like free will, God's sovereignty, and arguments for the existence of God, to constantly discussing racism, critical theory, and Marxism.
