Tripp and co-host Tony Jones talked with Aaron about what exactly phenomenology is, what it's like being a phenomenological philosopher and Pentecostal, why phenomenology is different than the philosophical framework that came before it, Heidegger on subjectivity and self-hood, plus, Aaron gives a live phenomenological reduction demonstration.

Throughout, Tripp explains how to teach phenomenology to teenagers in confirmation classes and why every youth minister should be a phenomenologist.
