Did Jesus of Nazareth really rise from the dead? And if that’s the case, how should that impact our view of history and everything we believe about God and reality? With the colloquial Easter holiday coming just around the corner, let’s dive into the BEST evidence for the resurrection! In this week’s solo podcast episode, Frank takes you step-by-step through three powerful reasons to believe the resurrection of Jesus is not only possible—but reasonable and true. Tune in as he unpacks the evidence that will challenge skeptics and strengthen Christians to trust and defend the Gospel with confidence. During the episode, Frank will answer questions like: What is the greatest miracle in the Bible? (SPOILER ALERT: it’s NOT the Resurrection) What are the four types of miracles that Jesus performed…

33 Defenses for the Resurrection of Jesus

3. Are Miracles Possible?, 4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Brian Chilton, Christianity, Easter, Gospel, historical apologetics, Jesus, New Testament, Resurrection, www.bellatorChristi.com
I told someone recently that Easter (aka., “Resurrection Sunday”) is my favorite holiday. It holds a greater prominence for the child of God than even Christmas. Up until the commercialization of Christmas, Easter was the central holiday for the Christian. One of my good friends recently stated that her pastor called Easter the “Super Bowl for Christianity,” and for good reason. Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Are there, however, good reasons for believing that Jesus of Nazareth literally arose from the dead on that first Resurrection Sunday? The historicity of the resurrection and the Gospels were a major sticking point for me in my time of doubt. If the resurrection was only wishful thinking, then believers have no genuine hope for their eternity. Yet if the resurrection is…

What REALLY Happened During the Inquisitions? with Bill Federer

Bill Federer, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Crusades, Dr. Frank Turek, inquisitions, Islamic, morality, Muslim, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
What’s the real history behind the Inquisitions, what do they reveal about the Christian faith, and could history be repeating itself? A few weeks ago, we unpacked the truth about the history of the Crusades and how (despite some behavior not condoned by Christ) they were military responses to Muslim aggression and saved Europe from being conquered by Muslim invaders. Most Christians at the time didn’t know what the Bible taught. This week, the great Bill Federer returns to shed light on the rise of the first inquisitions, their lasting impact on both the Church and American history, and how these events connect to the biblical narrative. Join Frank and Bill as they tackle questions like: What are some of the key events surrounding the Spanish, Islamic, and Portuguese Inquisitions? What does Islam teach about…

Do the Resurrection Narratives Contradict? A Reply to Dan McClellan

3. Are Miracles Possible?, 4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Bible, Christianity, Dan McClellan, Easter, Gospel, historical apologetics, Jesus, Jonathan McLatchie, JonathanMclatchie.com, Resurrection
Dan McClellan is a Biblical scholar who has taken to creating YouTube content. He has a popular channel, with 127,000 subscribers at the time of this writing. He often produces short videos responding to conservative scholars and apologists. Unfortunately, McClellan often comes across as incredibly condescending towards conservative scholars, with a rhetorical tone that is, in my view, unbecoming of scholarly discourse. I know that other conservative scholars feel the same way. McClellan recently published a 17-minute video responding to a TikTok video by my colleague, Dr. Sean McDowell, on discrepancies in the resurrection narratives. In this article, I will address points raised in this video. McDowell begins by observing, correctly, that “even if there were contradictions in the Bible, this wouldn’t prove that Christianity is false.” I agree with McDowell. I do…

How does someone go from co-founding one of the world’s most visited websites as an atheist to becoming a Bible-believing Christian? And what kind of evidence can shake a skeptical philosopher out of his naturalistic worldview? This week, Frank sits down with Dr. Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, to explore the surprising path that led him back to faith in Christ. Tune in as Larry shares how his early exposure to Christianity faded during his academic journey, how his curiosity was reignited by some disturbing cultural trends, and why he began to see the Bible in a new light. During their conversation, Frank and Larry will answer questions like: When and why did Larry stop believing in Christianity? How did Wikipedia get started and what does it teach us about human…

Archaeology and Jesus’ Tomb

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, ApologeticsGuy.com, Archaeology, Christianity, Empty Tomb, Gospel, historical apologetics, Matt Spinelli, Mikel del Rosario, Resurrection
Every Easter, we Christians gather to remember and celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. During the Easter Season, however, there are times when we tend to hear more skeptical portrayals of the resurrection story. For example, In How Jesus became God, Bart Ehrman argues that the empty tomb was just a created story by the first Christians to support their belief that Jesus had been physically raised. Is this probable? In this post, I share how six different pieces of information about the tomb of Jesus in the Gospel of John match up with archaeological investigations of tombs around Jerusalem. Because of this, it’s unlikely that John is completely making up what he says about the tomb of Jesus. Jesus’ tomb is located outside the city of Jerusalem In the Gospel…

Why is Christianity So Exclusive? Plus More Q&A

Why do Christians think Jesus is the only way to Heaven? And what ultimately sets Christianity apart from other religions like Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism? In this midweek episode, Frank explains why Jesus is the only way to salvation and why good works or sincere belief in other religions won’t save you. Tune is as he also tackles questions like: Does simply saying you believe Jesus is our LORD and Saviour enough to save you? Why was Jesus’ sacrifice necessary? Are all non-Christians going to Hell, even if they’re “good” people? Why can’t a loving God allow everyone into Heaven, regardless of their beliefs? Do you need Christianity to be a good person? What’s wrong with the popular ‘He Gets Us’ campaign? How are people tormented in Hell? What’s the…

10 Historical Facts About Jesus From Non-Christian Sources

3rd Day, 4. Is the NT True?, Alisa Childers, AlisaChildersblog, Apologetics, Christianity, Easter, Gospel, historical apologetics, Jesus, New Testament, Resurrection
If you have ever been involved in religious discussion on Facebook or Twitter, you have probably come across some version of the comment below: I just think it’s interesting that the only book that even talks about Jesus is the Bible! I’m not even sure we can prove he actually existed. Although this assertion is largely rejected by scholars in all spheres of historical and biblical studies, it tends to pop back up on social media like a never-ending game of digital whack-a-mole. The truth is that Jesus is not only documented in the eye-witness testimony compiled in the New Testament, but He is mentioned as a historical person by several non-Christian sources within 150 years of His life. From those sources, we can learn 10 things about Jesus without…

How do you spend 20 years talking to some of the world’s most well-known atheists and still remain a committed Christian? Is it possible that belief in God actually makes sense?

This week on the podcast, Justin joins Frank to discuss his upcoming book, ‘Why I’m Still a Christian: After Two Decades of Conversations with Skeptics and Atheists–The Reason I Believe‘ and shares how he kept his faith intact while engaging with skeptics from around the world.
