## Resource

Join us for the newest episode of Apologia Radio in which we spent a little bit of time engaging with some content from an online Mormon apologist named Hayden Carroll. Hayden has a history of misrepresenting his opponents and selling that misrepresentation to other Mormons. We take a few moments to speak to that issue. Tell someone about it!
