AITC Episode #10: Personal Opinion as Public Theology and Learning to Ask Probing Questions

Urban Christian apologist Calvin Moore talks about how personal opinion is shaping theology rather than the other way around, discusses the art of asking probing questions, and answers a listener's question about being transgender, becoming a believer after their surgery, and whether staying their current sex or going back is a salvation issue.

NOTE: This question is a really tough one, deeply sensitive in nature, will likely be divisive, and is not a question or answer to be listened to by children.
