We've got a unique episode of the Deep Dive this week! Instead of focusing on a singular piece of culture, we decided to look back at the first half of 2024 and discuss some of the important trends and media in culture that we may have missed along the way. So join us as we discuss Madame Web and the slow death of movie theaters, Chappell Roan, Prime Video's Fallout show, Bridgerton, Challengers, and Helldivers 2. It's jam-packed!

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.
