The devil, the blues, and The Jackson 5 are the stars of this week's episode of Three Chords and the Truth: The Apologetics Podcast. Lisa V. Fields—popular apologetics speaker and founder of the Jude 3 Project—joins Timothy to discuss a recent apologetics curriculum from Jude 3 Project. Along the way, Lisa reveals her longstanding longing to sing Michael's parts with the Jackson 5. More importantly, Lisa provides valuable insights for defending the faith in conversations with young urban professionals and in historically African-American churches and colleges.In the second half of this week's episode, your intrepid cohosts bask in the glow of yet another wonder from the year 1986. This time, it's the movie Crossroads, which was basically Karate Kid except with music instead of martial arts. Not only does this film provide Garrick and Timothy with a chance to explore the history of the blues, but it also opens the door to talking about selling your soul to the devil. This devilish discussion takes the dynamic duo back to the sixth century and then from there to sixteenth century, to talk about a man named Faust who—at least according to one legend—traded his soul to the devil for a poodle and twenty-four years of superpowers. In the end, this quest to comprehend the longstanding legend of selling your soul to the devil lands Garrick and Timothy at a crossroads in Mississippi for a stunning finale that you won't want to miss.Also, "Fäüst" would be the perfect name for a death-metal band. This week's toybox hero tournament—just like Top Gun, Iron Eagle, Crossroads, the Oprah Winfrey Show, Pee-wee's Playhouse, and ALF—has its beginning in the year 1986. That's when a certain toy from Garrick's childhood first made an appearance. The toy was the amazing, transforming Autobot boombox Blaster. This week, Blaster enters into mortal combat with an action figure from Timothy's youngest child. The result is a sonic boom from Wakanda that reduces Blaster to spare parts.   The new cover art for this season was created by Dani Wallace (daniwallace.myportfolio.com).     This Week’s Guest Lisa V.
