2 13 25 Dissecting Compromise

Feb 13, 2025 | Creation, Podcast

In this episode of The Winsome Creationist, I dive into the heated debate over “compromise” in the Young Earth Creationist movement. Why is this word so frequently used, and is it actually helping or hurting the conversation? I break down the rhetoric, explore alternative approaches, and discuss how we can foster better discussions without resorting to name-calling. Let’s rethink the way we engage with those who hold different views.
