Aaron believes the Christian God exists because of the complexity of the universe and how everything around him appears to be a Creation. We explore the belief and come to the conclusion that perhaps his high confidence in his god belief is not justified.
I would sincerely appreciate constructive feedback from others on how they would tackle this interview.

Can street epistemology work if you admit to having an opposing view from the start? Lucy and I find out!
We discuss Lucy's belief in the Christian god as evidenced by her experience of the holy spirit. I disclose my position as an atheist and explain the process of street epistemology to her step by step to allow her to ask similar questions of me.
Not an usual SE interaction, but I'm very pleased with the outcome!

Ep 276: Dialogue | Street Knowledge | Ansley & Hunter | Christianity
Recorded: 16 August 2018
Published: 1 September 2018
Released: 1 September 2018
Watch video of talk here: https://youtu.be/AZTG_CdIbEQ
Ansley and Hunter are Christians who believe in God because of the purpose and meaning it gives to their lives. There is a deep sense in which they just “feel” Christianity is true. In this interview we unpack that a little bit. What about the Muslim who says he just “feels” Islam is true? How do we compare competing claims that something is true due to feelings?
CHANNEL UPDATE: This video will be the last one I post, at least for a while. I need to step back from YouTube to devote more time and energy to family and career. Thank you so much for your support!
