Help your teen develop solid critical thinking skills and life-long media discernment!
You're already listening to the podcast, but you need an easy, fun way to practice recognizing bad thinking.
I got you!
Bad reasoning is everywhere!
The crazier our culture seems to get, the more important it is for your teen to:
- learn & use the skills of critical thinking
- practice what they're learning in the Filter It Through a Brain Cell™️ podcast
- develop media discernment
- learn how to ask the right questions to discover the truth
- decipher the truth in the crazy messages they're hearing everyday
- not be manipulated by relativity or emotional appeals
- be equipped to defend their beliefs
The Crazy Thinkers Library will help you do this in a simple, fun way!
I've spent the last 3 years compiling a complete library of fun, real-life examples to help you practice good thinking!
Since you're here, you probably already listen to the Filter It Through a Brain Cell™️ podcast with your teen and you realize how important it is to be able to think well!
But you may have noticed that it's easy to forget the fallacies when faced with bad thinking in real life.
The answer is simple: your teen (and you!) just needs some regular practice.
And I believe it's even easier to practice when it's fun and the content is provided for you...no scouring the internet to find your own examples!
The Crazy Thinkers Library is designed to give you & your teen simple, yet powerful thinking tools and a fun way to practice recognizing bad thinking using real-life content.

"Thinking is some of the hardest work you'll do...
which is why so few people do it."
Hi! I'm Kathy Gibbens, host of the Filter It Through a Brain Cell™️ podcast.
Y'all, we've got some work to do in our culture today.
There is no shortage of bad thinking, emotionalism, faulty arguments, attacks on truth, relativism and just flat-out lies being pedaled as truth.
If we're going to have a fighting chance at restoring TRUTH, we have to learn the skills of good thinking that most of us never learned in school & we have to teach them to our kids.
I know that you care about the world your kids are growing up in as much as I do and it weighs heavy on my heart how to prepare them to live WELL in the time God has put them on earth.
Critical thinking is a simple, yet powerful foundational skill that will help them in every area of their lives, from defending their faith to developing media discernment, to preparing them to give an answer for why they believe what they believe.
My goal has never been to help you win arguments. My goal has always been to help you and your kids become people who genuinely love Truth. I hope this library makes those conversations just a little easier around your dinner table.
Here's to some Crazy GOOD Thinking!
Kathy
What other families are saying:
"Thanks for your endeavor to help us all think more critically.
I not only use Crazy Thinkers for our homeschool students, but it has proven invaluable for my own work situation. Leading in a time of polarization has been brutal and exhausting.
Thanks to your podcast, I have been able to approach my role with much clearer thinking and defined terminology, while also parsing out emotionalism versus values from my own convictions.
I have been able to call out generalizations and fallacies from others, while striving to lead conversations seasoned with grace.
I've also learned new fallacies and have begun recognizing my own. My children are pretty good at helping me with that last part, now that they're listening to your podcast.
Thank you again for this critical skill in this critical time. May God continue to bless your work, and many others through it."

"Your monthly content has been a family favorite! I joined because my oldest daughter and I REALLY enjoyed reading The Fallacy Detective, and my oldest son has now started to read it because he's enjoying the "puzzle" of your memes.

"Thank you so much! We have LOVED this resource! I had kids texting me throughout the summer telling me all of the logical fallacies and bad thinking they were coming across!
One of my teens even pulled out her notebook from class to watch the presidential debate and laughed when she couldn’t write fast enough to document all the times she heard them using logical fallacies haha!
I look forward to teaching it again next year!
