You’re not! This week, Frank welcomes his co-author, Phoenix Hayes, to discuss their new book (now available for pre-order!), ‘The War on Reality‘, which they wrote to help Christians identify the ideologies and tactics used to try and rewrite reality but that ultimately lead to despair and brokenness. You’ll learn: What is the difference between reality and truth? Why did Frank and Phoenix write this book and how did it all come together? Why is it dedicated to Charlie Kirk?

I’m Not a Christian Nationalist—I’m an American Nationalist Because I Follow Jesus

Apologetics, Christian Nationalism, Christianity, Church & State, FreeThinkingMInistries, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Religious Freedom, Theocracy, Tim Stratton
Over the past several years, one of the most controversial phrases in American politics has been Christian Nationalism. Depending on who you ask, the term now refers to everything from patriotism to theocracy, to racism, to authoritarianism, to simply displaying an American flag in church. The phrase has become so elastic that it often communicates more confusion than clarity. For that reason, I have largely stopped using it. So, let me be clear. No, I am not a Christian Nationalist. I am an American Nationalist precisely because I am a committed follower of Jesus Christ. At first glance, that may sound contradictory. It isn’t. Words Matter Years ago, I defended what I understood “Christian Nationalism” to mean. At the time, I argued that if the phrase simply meant affirming America’s…

Dr. John Ferrer and Pastor Jason Jimenez return for Part 2 of their “4 I’s” series to tackle one of today’s most controversial issues by asking one simple question: What does the Bible REALLY say about open borders and immigration? You’ll learn: What are the 3 key distinctions between legal and illegal immigrants in the Old Testament? Aren’t open borders compassionate and based on Christian ideals? Does the Church and the government have the same responsibility regarding how we treat immigrants and protect borders? How does illegal immigration exploit immigrants? What questions can you ask someone who is pro-open borders? What are the 3 institutions that God created and what are their roles? What’s more concerning, Christian Nationalism or Sharia Law?

Where Do You Go When Your Child Asks a PhD Level Question?

Apologetics, Christianity, Doubt, Family Apologetics, Gospel, Hillary Ferrer, Jonathan McLatchie, MamaBearApologetics.com, moms, Relational Apologetics, TalkAboutDoubts.com, Theology and Christian Apologetics, tough conversations
[Editor’s Note: This blog was originally posted at MamaBearApologetics, so its tone and original audience and intent are for moms ministering to their children. That said, the content applies to all sorts of discipleship settings – pastors, parents, teachers, and more]. We all know those conversations are coming. Whether it’s from your college freshman, agnostic uncle, deconstructing niece, or a seasoned atheist brother-in-law, you’re dreading that conversation. You may feel intimidated or just ill-equipped. But guess what!? You are not alone! Too many of us are under the misconception that we have to have the answers for every question, every challenge to Christianity that could come our way. But not having the answer doesn’t mean you have failed, and it doesn’t mean that the answer isn’t out there. We are…

3 BIG Reasons Why Every Christian Should Care About Israel + Immigration with John Ferrer & Jason Jimenez

Biblical Worldview, Christian Apologetics, Christian Identity, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, immigration, Islam, Israel, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Why are so many Christians divided over Israel? And what does the Bible actually say about God’s promises to the Jewish people? This week, Frank welcomes Dr. John Ferrer and Pastor Jason Jimenez, recorded on site from CrossExamined Instructor Academy 2026 in Charlotte, NC, to kick off a two-part conversation on what they call the 4 I’s that Christians are struggling to think biblically about: Israel, Immigration, Islam, and Identity. In Part 1, they tackle the first two and answer questions like: What are the theological, moral, and political implications of how we approach Israel? What are the major views on the current state of Israel? Is God finished with Israel, or do His covenant promises still stand? What is the proper context of Romans 11 in regards to Israel?…

The Coming Battle for America’s Soul

Apologetics, Christian Conservative, Christianity, Democratic Socialism, FreeThinkingMInistries, Gospel, John Ferrer, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Political Commentary, Political Theology, Politics
[Editor’s Note: I wrote the following post on social media, and it was picked up by Tim Stratton at FreeThinkingMinistries.com. The opening section, below, has been added to clarify how this kind of political commentary bears upon Christian theology and apologetics.] A Brief Theology of Politics     You’re about to hear a rant on Democratic Socialism. So, I want you to hear the heart behind that rant first. As a Christian, I care about people. Caring about people, I have to care about politics, at least insofar as it affects people. I want people to follow Christ. I want to see marriages restored, families healed, within thriving communities, and a flourishing society. All of that, for me, stems from the humanitarian heart of Christ’s life and teaching. And bringing my Christian…

Is America on Stolen Land? Debunking More Historical Myths with Tim Barton

American history, Biblical Worldview, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Founding Fathers, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology, Tim Barton, WallBuilders
Is the history of America so dark and disturbed that we need to start over? Where could we go to learn the details of what REALLY happened? Tim Barton, President of WallBuilders, returns to the program to examine the original documents behind some of America’s biggest historical debates–straight from his personal collection of over 100,000 items! From slavery and the Treaty of Tripoli to Native American land claims and the biblical worldview of the Founders, Frank and Tim compare today’s most popular claims with the evidence that often gets left out. Here’s what you’ll learn: Why is it essential to understand the meaning behind Thomas Jefferson’s claim, “We hold these truths to be self-evident.”? Did Frederick Douglass really believe America was fundamentally racist? Why is the Three-Fifths Compromise one of the…

A Fifteen-Second, Five-Finger Response to the Evolution Question

2. Does God Exist?, 3. Are Miracles Possible?, Christianity, Evolution, Gospel, Intelligent Design, Richard Stevens, Scientific Apologetics. apologetics
The friendly, mature volunteer at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden showed us the fascinating internal features of a saguaro cactus skeleton. I marveled aloud at its “amazing design.” The docent (guide) continued: “Yes, the mutations made this beauty of nature.” I didn’t want to argue and so decided not to contest the “mutations made it” claim. But I realized I need a powerful, clear, non-combative, easy-to-remember response to the question, “Why don’t you believe in evolution?” Here’s what occurred to me. We have a Five-Finger Response that does not immediately trigger the usual arguments about the fossil record, Darwin’s finches, bacteria resistance to antibiotics, or species sharing common DNA segments. And we can deliver it all in 15 seconds. The 15-Second Answer When someone asks you: “Why don’t you believe…

Rewriting History – Debunking the Lies You’ve Always Been Told About America with Tim Barton

American history, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Founding Fathers, History Myths, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology, Tim Barton, WallBuilders
What if some of the biggest claims you’ve heard about American history aren’t true? For decades, Americans have been told that Christopher Columbus launched a campaign of genocide, the Founding Fathers were racist deists, and the United States was uniquely evil from the very beginning. While people of every nation have undeniably done evil (that’s why we all need a Savior), are those claims about America based on the historical record or Marxist propaganda? If you think you already know America’s story, think again! This week, Frank interviews historian and President of WallBuilders, Tim Barton, who holds the nation’s largest private collection of original American historical documents (totaling more than 100,000 pieces!). So Tim’s insights come from what was recorded by the founders themselves. Tune in as Frank and Tim…

Nine Clarifications Before Critiquing Old Testament Slavery

Apologetics, Christianity, Gospel, Is God Good? Biblical Ethics, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Old Testament, Sean Redfearn, slavery, Theology and Christian Apologetics
Slavery in the Old Testament is a favourite topic among critics who wish to denigrate the moral character of the God of Israel. In my experience, critics will predominantly cite Exodus 21:20-21 or Leviticus 25:44-46 to appeal to a notion of horrendous oppression towards foreign slaves within the nation of ancient Israel – even though there are, by my count, at least 20 other passages in the Torah that are relevant to having a well-informed conversation on the topic. Still, the above two passages need to be engaged with, and I refer readers to a host of excellent resources that respond to the claim that the Old Testament endorses chattel slavery.[1] What do you mean by Old Testament slavery? In this article, I wish to propose a simple tactic for…
