Faith, Apologetics, and the Next Generation with Chad Ragsdale

In this week's episode, Ryan and Brian chat with Chad Ragsdale of Ozark Christian College. Chad has been a professor at Ozark since 2005, teaching hermeneutics and apologetics, and recently, took the role of academic dean. We talk with Chad about his new book and the essentials of the Christian faith, his view on the current nature of apologetics, and what parents need to be teaching their children to prepare them for the world today.

Ryan Sarver

Ryan was a student of Brian’s at Lincoln Christian College almost twenty years ago — not a good student, but a student nonetheless. He graduated with a degree in worship ministry and worked in the local church for several years. Now, Ryan owns and operates a video production and marketing company, telling stories for non-profits and businesses.

Ryan loves reading books on theology and engaging in conversations. He and his wife, Lauren, share two children and live in the Indianapolis area. One of his claims-to-fame is making the best popcorn ever — just ask his kids.

Ryan’s favorite movie is The Tree of Life. He enjoys all kinds of ethnic foods, as well as pour-over coffee — keep your K-cups to yourself 🙂
