The show "So the Next Generation Will Know" is a weekly podcast hosted by Sean MacDonald and J. Warner Wallace. MacDonald is an expert in youth culture and ministry, while Wallace is a seasoned cold-case detective and former atheist who became a Christian after applying his extensive investigative skills to examining the evidence for Jesus. Together, they provide listeners with insight on how to raise the next generation of Christian believers who can defend their faith in a culture that's increasingly hostile to Christianity.

Each episode of "So the Next Generation Will Know" is around an hour long and is divided into three parts. In the first part, MacDonald and Wallace discuss a particular challenge facing Christian parents and youth leaders today. Topics range from the reliability of the Bible to the problem of evil, and are always approached with a mix of intellectual rigor and pastoral sensitivity. Wallace's training as a detective often comes in handy as he approaches these issues with a keen eye for evidence and logical argumentation.

The second part of each episode is devoted to practical strategies for equipping young people with the tools they need to navigate these challenges. MacDonald draws upon his years of experience in youth ministry to offer practical advice for parents, pastors, and youth leaders on how to create an environment that fosters critical thinking and a robustly Christian worldview. Wallace, for his part, offers insights from his experience as a cold-case detective on how to evaluate evidence and construct a compelling case for Christianity.

The final part of each episode is a Q&A session in which MacDonald and Wallace respond to listener questions and comments. This segment provides an opportunity for listeners to engage directly with the hosts and deepen their understanding of the issues covered in the episode.

Overall, "So the Next Generation Will Know" is a valuable resource for Christians who care about passing on their faith to the next generation. MacDonald and Wallace are both knowledgeable and engaging hosts who are passionate about helping young people understand and defend their faith in a world that's becoming increasingly skeptical of Christianity. The show is both intellectually stimulating and deeply practical, offering listeners both the tools they need to think critically and the strategies they need to put those tools into practice. Whether you're a parent, pastor, or youth leader, "So the Next Generation Will Know" is a podcast that's well worth your time.
