Episode Transcript

Hey what’s up Thinkers! Kathy Gibbens here…and I have a super special guest here with me today, my 15-year-old daughter, Lena! You guys have heard me say that I learned about Logical Fallacies along with her when she was in 7th grade and what a difference it’s made for her in her ability to recognize bad thinking, manipulation & just outright foolishness.

Both she and I learned these things through the homeschool group we’re a part of, Classical Conversations, who are actually sponsors of this podcast! If you’ve ever wondered if your student is really being prepared to learn HOW to think for themselves, not just being told WHAT to think, Classical Conversations just may be what you’re looking for! If you fill out the form at classicalconversations.com/gibbens, you’ll get 2 free e-books that will get you started! And, incidentally, our family is doing an Instagram takeover this week over at the Classical Conversations Instagram account…if you want to see what our week looks like, and get some behind-the-scenes on our family you can go check that out! We’re totally keeping it real, lol!

Ok, hopefully you’ve been listening to the past 4 episodes of the podcast where I’ve introduced the 4 Simple Tools for Brain SUrgery…4 questions you can ask to get someone to think about why they believe what they believe. I asked Lena to come on today b/c I wanted you to hear from her about how she’s used the questions in conversations she’s had. I have so many families who listen to this podcast as a family, which I love! I feel like it’s so important, however, to IMPLEMENT what we’re learning here, not just hear about the fallacies. B/c ultimately where the rubber meets the road is in our conversations with other people, when we’re engaging with the culture around us and we have opportunities to speak truth with love. So we’re just going to have a conversation about these 4 questions & how Lena has used them in real conversations she’s had and I’m super excited for you to get a chance to listen in!

Remember: When you learn HOW to think, you will no longer fall prey to those who are trying to tell you what THEY want you to think and it all starts with asking one simple question: “Is that really true?”
