Who Was Francis Schaeffer?
In 2022, Adam was invited to give a talk about Francis Schaeffer at Firth Bible Church in Firth, Nebraska. He discussed Francis Schaeffer's life story: how he attended seminary and became a pastor, experienced a crisis of faith, came through that crisis with a heart to help others who were in a similar situation, founded L'Abri with his wife Edith, and ministered through lectures, tapes, books, and most importantly, loving community. Adam also discusses how he got the opportunity to research Schaeffer's life and ministry and how Francis Schaeffer influenced him.
To read Adam's article mentioned around 58:00 where he compares the epistemologies of Schaeffer and Michael Polanyi, see here: https://convincingproof.org/created-to-know/
