On Storytelling: Deconstructing Common Secular Narratives

Description

There are several secular narratives that shed a negative light on the Christian faith. Examples are "Science liberated us from the shackles of faith", "Christianity supports slavery", or "Medieval Christians taught that the earth is flat". Those are often mentioned in conversations and simply assumed to be true by a large part of society, even though they are often faulty. In this talk, we look into how some of these narratives came about, how to debunk them in a conversation, and how we can tell positive narratives in accordance with the truth.
