I Debated the #1 Mormon Apologist

<p>I recently debated Jacob Hansen, who is widely considered to be the #1 Latter-day Saint apologist. And today, I’m going to break down that debate and why I found Jacob’s arguments for Mormon doctrine to be ultimately unconvincing. I’ll also share a few ways that I messed up, and what I would do differently if I got a second chance.</p><p><br></p><p>At the time of this recording, it’s been a little over a week since the debate. I’ve had some time to collect my thoughts, review the debate, and think through some better rebuttals that didn’t come to my mind at the time. So I’m gonna break everything down, and then at the end, I’ll answer the question of who I think won the debate.</p><p><br></p><p>Hey!
