Debating Bart Ehrman About the Gospels with Jimmy Akin 31.05.2024 48:12
When Christians suggest that the Bible is without error, what does that actually mean? And are there really good reasons to believe that the Bible, (specifically the New Testament) is both historically reliable and inerrant? Critics like Bart Ehrman raise challenging and thought-provoking questions about contradictions in the Gospels and Jesus' resurrection, but are they true contradictions or jus...
What Harrison Butker and Football Teach Us About Right and Wrong 29.05.2024 49:39
Were Harrison Butker’s bold statements during his recent Benedictine College commencement speech worth all of the public backlash he received in response? Although many are now hailing the Super Bowl winning NFL kicker as a hero for speaking up, others are calling for him to be fired from the league altogether. What exactly did he say that caused so much outrage and what biblical truths can we g...
Who Is Living Inside Your Kid's Head? | with Shanda Fulbright 24.05.2024
Why do your kids believe what they believe about the world and the purpose of life? Are you equipping them to make good decisions now and in the future when you’re no longer there to protect them? Will their knowledge of truth, logic, and God’s Word ultimately prevail against the conflicting (and sometimes hidden) messages they might hear from friends, teachers, and TikTok? If you’re a Christian p...
HELP! My Pastor Doesn't Talk About Cultural or Political Issues! with Tony Perkins 21.05.2024 31:12
You love your pastor, but why won’t he address crucial cultural, moral, or political issues from the pulpit? Is there anything that you or your church can do about it? Furthermore, what risks lie ahead for faithful pastors who do actually speak out against the culture and rightly stand up for the truth of God’s Word? For this midweek podcast episode, pro-life advocate and political leader, Tony P...
The Top 3 Reasons Why Christians Should Be Involved in Politics | with Tony Perkins 17.05.2024 48:18
Should Christians get involved with politics, or should we just stay out of the way because “religion and politics don’t mix”? While some Christians have the tendency to idolize political influence, others have gone to the opposite end of the spectrum, choosing to completely shy away from engaging in public policy altogether. What does the Bible and common sense have to say about this? This week ...
The #1 Surprising Rule of Life | with J. Warner Wallace 14.05.2024 44:27
Can Christians learn to love the same way God loves? Cold-case homicide detective turned Christian apologist, J. Warner Wallace , answers that question for us in his brand-new book ‘ The Truth in True Crime: What Investigating Death Teaches Us About the Meaning of Life .’ But how exactly did researching some of his own murder investigations lead him to discover the truth about God’s nature and Hi...
The Truth in True Crime with J. Warner Wallace 10.05.2024 48:16
Have you ever wondered why America is so obsessed with death and murder, or why some of today’s most popular podcasts, shows, and TV networks are all centered around the topic of true crime? What’s the reason for our curiosity with murder and what life lessons can we learn from studying even the worst of these true crime stories? If you’re a true crime junkie, this is the podcast episode for you!...
How Censorship Endangers You | with Seth Dillon 07.05.2024 42:01
How is today’s censorship trend affecting your job, your child’s education, and your medical healthcare of all things? And what about the political right? Are they as guilty of imposing censorship on society as the far left? For this midweek podcast episode, Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee , returns to speak more about the issue of censorship and how it’s restricting our freedoms in unimagina...
Censoring the Babylon Bee? | with Seth Dillon 03.05.2024 48:16
What exactly constitutes “free speech” and falls under the protection of the First Amendment? As the political left increasingly advocates for (and often achieves) unconstitutional censorship, the line between what’s permissible and what’s not in public dialogue becomes increasingly blurred. In this age dominated by social media and cancel culture, who ultimately holds the authority in deciding wh...
The Fuel Behind the Fire: Anti-Israel Protests & American Universities 30.04.2024 1:08:13
What’s driving the anti-Israel protests storming college campuses all across America? Schools like Columbia University, UCLA, Emory, Harvard, and Yale have been hit with massive pro-Palestinian mobs that have led to hundreds of arrests and violent threats against the Jewish student populations. Why are these angry (yet seemingly sophisticated) mobs targeting college campuses and how have they succ...
Does Christianity Still Make Sense? | with Dr. Bobby Conway 26.04.2024 48:12
If God exists, then why are there so many church scandals? Why does racism exist and why are Christians so hypocritical? When it comes down to it, why does evil exist at all? In other words, does Christianity still make sense? This week Frank talks with author, philosopher, CIA instructor , and pastor of Image Church, Dr. Bobby Conway about his brand-new book, ‘ Does Christianity Still Make Sen...

In this midweek podcast episode, Frank tackles a series of listener questions surrounding how to share your faith with transgender co-workers and how to understand God’s grace in relation to our free will.

Why Objections Don’t Defeat the Truth of God 18.04.2024 48:19
If God is good, why is there so much evil in the world? And if God wants us to trust Him and love Him, why does He stay so hidden? Those are two of the most powerful objections to Christianity. But even if you couldn’t come up with answers to these questions, is that reason enough to abandon the faith and embrace a different worldview? This week, Frank uses logic, reasoning, and modern day example...
How to Answer the Toughest Arguments for Abortion | with Scott Klusendorf 16.04.2024 37:49
This week, author of ‘ The Case for Life ‘ and pro-life expert Scott Klusendorf returns to unpack the implications behind the most popular pro-choice arguments. Are pro-lifers fighting for a theocracy? How can Christians refute “pro-choice” arguments without using the Bible? Will women die from illegal abortions if abortion is banned?

How to Stop Wokeness and Stand for Truth | with Dr. James Lindsay 09.04.2024 42:22
Are there any practical ways that Christians and conservatives can stop the encroachment of woke ideology in our schools, businesses, and local communities? While the recent push for DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), critical theory, and transgender ideology may seem impossible to overcome, all hope is not lost! In the last podcast episode, Frank’s guest, international speaker, author, and l...
One Nation Under Wokeness | with Dr. James Lindsay 05.04.2024 48:13
Is there an all out assault on common sense in the West? Over the last decade or so, proponents of “wokeness” have asserted crazy ideas like “men can get pregnant”, “whiteness is evil”, the extermination of Jews “from the river to the sea”, and kids should be sterilized through “gender-affirming care.” Where are these bizarre ideas coming from, what are they rooted in, and how are they shaping the...

He is Risen! Examining the Evidence for the Resurrection with Dr. Jonathan McLatchie 29.03.2024 48:15
How did an itinerant preacher, born into poverty and raised in an obscure village, a man who never wrote a book or had a formal education, who was betrayed by his friends and ultimately crucified on a rugged cross, rise to become THE central figure in human history? Jesus of Nazareth has left an undeniable mark on the world and all of western society, surpassing the influence of any other person w...
Why Would a GOOD God Create People He Knew Would Go to Hell? Plus More Q&A 26.03.2024 47:35
If God knew that millions or billions of people would not only sin, but in the end reject Him and therefore spend eternity in Hell, why would He create mankind in the first place? In other words, why would God create people He knew would go to Hell? Wouldn’t a “good” God create a universe where EVERYONE believes? This week, Frank responds to these and other listener questions surrounding various t...
Is America Becoming a Police State? with Dinesh D’Souza 22.03.2024 48:18
Is the U.S. government deliberately targeting patriotic Americans with conservative values? In a post 9/11 America, the necessary push to prevent Islamic terrorism opened the door for justice agencies to shift their focus to what they now call “domestic terrorists”. But what if your conservative, Christian beliefs have the potential to put you on the government’s radar as a domestic threat? This w...
Can We Really Believe the Bible is Inerrant? Plus More Q&A 19.03.2024 51:32
Do you have to believe that the Bible is completely without error to be a true Christian? If you don’t agree with the Bible, you ultimately find yourself at odds with the teachings of Jesus and that’s never a good idea. But if both the Old and New Testaments have discrepancies, why should we consider our Bible to be inspired? This week, Frank dives into the issue of the inspiration of Scripture an...
Do You Have “Blood on Your Hands”? 3 Questions About “Trans Rights” 15.03.2024 48:17
Do you have blood on your hands? Are Christian beliefs motivating trans people to commit the unthinkable act of suicide? The alarming prevalence of depression among people battling gender dysphoria has prompted advocates of the transgender movement to demand political action, proposing that the solution lies in the push for “trans rights”. But what happens when the pursuit of these “rights” collid...
Does the Resurrection of Jesus Prove He is the Jewish Messiah? with Eric Chabot 12.03.2024 43:16
If Jesus rose from the dead, wouldn’t that also demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that the Messianic prophecies were about Him? Even if you can convince an orthodox Jew that the resurrection actually happened, it still may not be enough to persuade them that Jesus is the promised Messiah of the Old Testament. Where exactly is the disconnect and why do so many Jews (and even Christians) have tr...
The #1 Doctrine That Answers Christianity’s Toughest Questions with Dr. Tim Stratton 08.03.2024 48:21
It’s the age old question–if God is sovereign over all things then how do we have free will? And if God controls everything, does that make Him the author of evil since He causes humans to sin? How do we reconcile a good God with all of the pain and suffering that’s happening in the world? It can seem like a bit of a conundrum for Christians, and the lack of satisfactory answers has caused many pe...
