We’ve got some exciting things in the works at IPA. This week we’re beginning development on a brand-new course covering Bayesian Epistemology and Rational Belief Formation alongside one of the leading scholars in the world working in this area. The goal isn’t just to teach Bayes’ Theorem. We want to help you understand how rational belief revision actually works, how evidence affects probability, how cumulative cases are built, and how these principles apply to questions about Christianity, history, miracles, science, and everyday reasoning. We’re also going to be building practical tools alongside the course, including: 📊 A Bayes Calculator 📈 Evidence-weighting tools 🧠 Interactive probability visualizations 🔬 Resources to help you apply Bayesian reasoning to real-world arguments and evidence If you had a chance to learn a topic with us: what topic? And what scholars would you want to hear from?

Hey guys! Over the next three weeks I’ll be reading Steven Ray’s “Upon This Rock” as part of my summer research project to determine if I should join the Catholic church. For this project, I wanted to develop some criteria that, if answered, would compel conversion. It seems kinda easy, for example, “Jesus set up an infallible Petrine office” could be a criterion. My question is, which exact propositions should be proven true for one to accept Catholicism? Also any input on the book I’m about to read would be appreciated.

Our weekly Saturday Q&A this week will host our very own Michael Jones of Inspiring Philosophy. If you want to have your questions answered, you don't want to miss this call!

Looks like some of you are interested in getting a "Doing Apologetics on Social Media" course. I have over 13 years of experience in social media management that I'm excited to share with those of you who are looking to do apologetics online for the masses. As I build out this course as an addition to the amazing services Tim offers, I plan on hosting a weekly call for this but I need some information from you all first: 1. [[Standard Tier]] If I were to do a weekly call I would need to something either Tuesday or Thursday between 10am-3pm EST. I am a father so evenings aren't as flexible for me, and since I manage over a dozen clients, I would only be able to host this call for 1 hour weekly (or bi-weekly depending on the demand for this) **LET ME KNOW WHAT TIMES WORK FOR YOU IF YOU'RE INTERESTED 2. [[Premium Tier]] I probably won't be able to get a finished product done until summer-ish. Because I want to provide as much value for those interested in taking a course on this as I can. I also plan on providing resource lists as part of my course as well. Chime in if you have any requests for this course, or what times work for you for a weekly group call. Lots to come!
