How in the world could a Christian and an atheist have a civil conversation about the current political climate in the West? It’s easier than you think! As free speech collapses across Europe and ideological enforcement tightens its grip on the U.S., many are asking, are we truly “free” anymore? This week, Frank is joined by philosopher Dr. Peter Boghossian, author of ‘A Manual for Creating Atheists‘, fresh off their surprise appearance together at the chaotic TPUSA event at UC Berkeley. Together, they examine why civil dialogue is breaking down, why Islam presents a unique challenge to Western civilization, and why the modern left seems incapable of self-correction.

Bible, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Robert Gagnon, Homosexuality, marriage, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, sexuality, theology
Are Christian views on marriage and sexuality really “outdated,” or has culture slowly talked us into treating clear biblical teaching as a harmless disagreement? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank and Dr. Robert Gagnon continue their discussion by examining what the Bible actually teaches about homosexuality and why sexual ethics sit at the core of Christian morality.

Bible, borders, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, government, illegal immigration, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Do you have locks on your doors? What about a fence so your kids can play safely in the yard? The truth is, everyone believes in secure borders and as long as human nature is bent towards evil, borders will be necessary. This week, Frank picks up where he left off from the last episode as he explains what the Bible really says about immigration, borders, and deportations while answering questions like: What are the important distinctions between legal and illegal immigration? How does stopping illegal immigration protect innocent people from evil? What happens when a country becomes too “soft” on enforcing its laws? What’s the difference between imposing religion vs. imposing morality? What is the #1 purpose of government? Isn’t it compassionate to have open borders? How can America…

borders, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, global governments, illegal immigration, mass immigration, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Immigration is one of the most emotionally charged issues of our time, but what does the Bible really say about borders and deportations? Are borders unbiblical, or do they play a necessary role in human flourishing? And can governments enforce laws without violating Jesus’ teachings? In this episode, Frank goes straight to Scripture to discuss one of today’s most heated cultural debates, exposing how key Bible passages are often taken out of context to support mass immigration narratives that the text itself does not teach. Tune in as Frank lays out why the Bible consistently affirms borders and answers questions like: Was Jesus an illegal immigrant? What are four simple rules for interpreting the Bible correctly? Why do people confuse biblical commands to individuals with commands to governments? How can…
