Teenagers love to argue--what if we could train them to see logical fallacies, and to search after the truth? Join Kathy Gibbens and Dr. Jeff as we discuss why we need critical thinking skills, how to identify it on tv, social media, and in culture, and how we know the truth! Kathy is a passionate educator, speaker, and podcast host dedicated to equipping the next generation with critical thinking skills. As a 13-year homeschool mom, business owner, and Bible study creator, she first discovered the power of logical reasoning when her daughter studied logical fallacies for school. What began as a fun learning experience soon turned into a mission to help others recognize good and bad thinking in everyday life. Driven by a deep concern for Gen Z and Gen A, Kathy launched the Filter It Through a Brain Cell podcast to teach essential discernment skills in a world where truth is increasingly difficult to distinguish. As a Christian, she believes truth exists and that thinking well is foundational to loving God with our minds. Want to be better equipped with a Biblical Worldview? Check out summit.org!

IVF, energy crises, abortion, and gay marriage--can a "pro-child" framework help us understand all of it? This episode will step on some toes!
