    Lindsey Medenwaldt on Building Bridges in a Hostile World

    Today we are posting an interview Lindsey Medenwaldt, Director of Ministry Operations at Mama Bear Apologetics. She’s written a new book about how to overcome relational barriers and graciously reach out to those with whom we disagree, specifically as it relates to sharing aspects of our faith. Her book is called Bridge-Building Apologetics. Lindsey also serves as a consulting editor for the Christian Research Journal; she holds a Master’s in Apologetics and Ethics from Denver Seminary, a JD from St. Mary’s School of Law and a Master’s degree in Public Administration from Midwestern State University. Her primary apologetics focus is on world religions and how we talk to people of other faiths.

    Deep Dive: "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT" by Billie Eilish

    Deep Dive: "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT" by Billie Eilish

    HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is the newest album from Billie Eilish, and it's our topic of discussion on this week's Deep Dive. We discuss the complexities of Billie Eilish as an artist, the ways her music represents said complexity, and the very sexual song LUNCH. In our Shallow End, we discuss the odd resurgence of the movie Madame Web on Netflix. Also, Hannah has thoughts about defamiliarization. Do you?
    Thanks as always for listening! If you want to find more free Axis resources or give a gift of support, you can check out our website at axis.org.
