## Resource

I explore how the world of Christian apologetics has dramatically shifted from traditional conferences and vetted publishers to the age of YouTube influencers. With nearly 30 years in the field, I discuss the pros and cons of this democratization and how I see myself as fitting into the giant trailer park of the apologetics world.
