Horn "debates with atheists for a living."[11] Speaking on his career as an apologist, Horn advises "it's a spiritually dangerous job", in which one should avoid seeing opponents as enemies:[11]
"When you see someone who disagrees with you, they’re not the enemy, they’re not a target – they’re someone who you should try and get to know and try to ask good questions to find out what they believe, why they believe it, and where you have common ground, and then help them see where they have cracks or flaws in their worldview."
Horn is the host of the podcast The Counsel of Trent, a reference to the Council of Trent.[12]
