Together with Rob, she explores how the church can faithfully respond to a generation grappling with anxiety, identity, and a hunger for truth. With clarity and compassion, Amy models a trinitarian, Spirit-empowered approach to apologetics that wins both hearts and minds — one that values persuasion over pride and empathy over ego.\nResources mentioned in this episode:\nOneHope Research - Gen Alpha and Gen Z:\nhttps://onehope.net/global-outreach/research\nFeed - Core Questions Devotional: \nhttps://feed.bible/core-questions\n\"The Quiet Revival\" Research Report, Bible Society:\nhttps://theresource.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/The-Quiet-Revival.pdf\nCHAPTERS:\n00:00 Persuading Heart and Mind: Pascal’s Approach to Apologetics\n02:55 Childhood Atheism to Apologist: Amy’s Unlikely Journey\n04:04 Supernatural Encounter: Early Experience with Healing\n07:53 Oxford Ultimatum: Career or Christ?\n09:39 The Hidden Intolerance of Secular Academia\n11:41 Arguments vs. Heart: Winning People, Not Just Debates\n13:43 Facing a Panel: Spiritual and Intellectual Showdown\n16:02 Courage, Fear, and Holy Spirit Empowerment\n18:23 Confronting a Mob: Listening to Angry Students\n21:26 Righteous Rage, Broken World: Turning Anger into Apologetics\n24:37 Anxiety & Toxic Certainty: New Generation, New Challenges\n28:20 Jordan Peterson Effect: Why Young Men Seek Church\n29:51 Church’s Call: Preach a Robust, Demanding Faith\n30:25 Preparation Meets Dependence: Mind on Fire, Heart Reliant\nRob's Socials: \nhttps://www.instagram.com/robdeanhoskins/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/robhoskins/...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qRmauTGGt6Lkf16fYN-Xd6kiSqawlBlXrKc1eCsTfac/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hNWI3/Mzg3ODA2YmZjMmFk/NTUxM2RiY2UxZDQ1/Y2Q1MC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
