Maybe it’s because an all-good and all-powerful God doesn’t actually exist! That’s what some atheists will claim. In this show, Frank addresses that claim and these questions: Does evil disprove God? If not, what is God’s purpose for evil? Why does God allow evil that seems to have no purpose? What is God’s ultimate solution to evil? This show offers one of the most profound insights that Frank learned while lamenting the fact that so much evil seems pointless. Why, for example, does a baby die when the entire church prays he won’t? What possible good can come…

Cómo enseñar a tus hijos a identificar un falso evangelio

Por Alisa Childers Cuando mi hija era pequeña, le preparaba ” waffles ” de quinoa, avena y semillas de lino, y le encantaban. No fue hasta que estuvimos de visita con la familia en California que experimentó la barra de desayuno del hotel y exclamó en voz alta: “Mamá, estos waffles son mucho MEJORES QUE LOS TUYOS”. Se acabó la farsa. Los waffles impostores, secos y granulosos, ya no serían tolerados. Ahora había probado los auténticos y nunca más se dejaría engañar por una falsificación. Del mismo modo, una de las formas más eficaces de enseñar a nuestros hijos a detectar un falso evangelio es asegurarnos de que conozcan bien el verdadero. De esta manera, cuando se encuentren con una versión falsa del cristianismo, la reconocerán inmediatamente. He aquí algunas…

10 Reasons Why Socialism Fails

Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS What is socialism and why doesn’t it work? In this special podcast, Frank shows that socialism doesn’t work because it ignores economics 101 in ten ways. It ignores basic truths about: Private Property (it drives economics) Rule of Law (necessary for a robust economy) Free Enterprise (increases value) Competition (motivates innovation & quality) Self Interest and Service (creates wealth, not greed) Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand (can’t be led top-down) Free Rider Problem (human nature) Ripple Effect (economics is not a static system) Supply & Demand (can’t be dictated) Scarcity (quarterbacks vs. teachers) Frank also addresses the claim that since early Christians lived in a communal way in the book…

Valentine’s Day Special: Why Love is Not a Feeling

Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS In this special show done on Valentine’s day, Frank unpacks the difference between “being in love” and loving someone. Too many people think that once the feeling of “being in love” is gone that the relationship is over and they need to find someone else. But if we blindly followed our fleeting feelings we would blow up our lives and the lives of those around us. Love actually seeks what is best for the loved one and vows to behave in a loving way. Marriage vows are not about feelings but behaviors. Frank shares from C.S. Lewis and the Bible to help us develop better relationships rather than follow…

Should Christians Have Blind Faith?

By Levi Dade A few months ago, I sat with a close friend in one of the booths of our university’s coffee shop. My friend, whom I will call Tom, is an atheist. Tom is a genuine truth-seeker, and he would be a Christian if he thought Christianity was “actually true.” During our conversation, we found ourselves discussing the topic of faith. After probing his views of the world and his justifications for them, he said something that surprised me. “At the end of the day, I guess we all have to have faith in something.” I wanted clarity on what he meant by that statement, so I responded, “Do you mean blind faith?” “Yeah, I guess it is blind faith.” The Difference Between Faith and Blind Faith Notice something…
