Filter It Through a Brain Cell: Recent Episodes
Kathy Gibbens
NOTE: While you're certainly welcome to listen to this podcast in any order, I recommend listening in sequential order starting with Episode 1. I think you'll get more out of it that way!
Critical thinking is the most important skill you can have when you’re living in a world that seems to have lost its mind.
Everyone out there is trying to tell you WHAT to think, I want to teach you HOW to think!
In every episode, I’m exposing the logical fallacies & cognitive biases being used by advertisers, politicians, influencers, news outlets, social media memes, and maybe even your own best friend.
Warning: listening to this podcast will cause you to see bad thinking everywhere!
Welcome to the Filter It Through a Brain Cell Podcast!
Just because you CAN make something seem utterly ridiculous doesn't always mean it is!
When you can recognize the foolishness, you won't get fooled by it!

I'm super excited to be sharing the very first interview on this podcast!
Brett Banford is a scientist who realized he had questions about his faith that he couldn’t get answers to; so he started studying.
He shares what he’s learned on social media - instagram primarily - and I think you’re really going to enjoy this conversation.
The questions we cover are:
-
What is apologetics?
-
How did you get started in studying apologetics?
-
How does learning good thinking (logical fallacies, cognitive biases, etc) correlate with apologetics?
-
Why is it important to think well about your faith & about the things we are bombarded with from media, culture, etc.?
-
What should we do with our difficult questions?
-
Where could someone begin if they are interested in starting to learn apologetics?
You can find Brett on Instagram @radapologetics, and online at www.radapologetics.com.
Ever met somebody who just can't accept defeat?
Do they keep trying to change the rules or get you to answer more & more questions?
They may be moving the goalposts.

In episode 14, I briefly mentioned something about having a GOOD conversation with others...even those who share a different viewpoint than you. But I felt like I left you hanging a little bit on HOW to go about doing that. So, today, instead of teaching a new fallacy, I'm going to teach you 5 essentials to having a GOOD conversation, even when you and the other person disagree.
The 5 Essentials to GOOD communication are:
-
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
-
Be willing to be persuaded.
-
The goal is to seek truth.
-
Respect & love for the other person.
-
Beware of your own emotional triggers.
