Episode notes
Doctor Analogy
- A doctor needs to understand diseases to diagnose and treat them effectively.
- Similarly, knowing only truth isn't enough; understanding falsehood is crucial for effective apologetics.

- Apologetics requires additional knowledge to address specific challenges like this.
