[Editor’s Note: “The point of peak persecution on American soil is the University” – John Ferrer. This article from Christian Apologetics professor and high school Bible teacher, Steve Lee has been his passion project spanning most of his teaching career at the high school and college level.  Over the past 14 years, this list of anti-Christian incidents has steadily grown with the most recent example being perhaps the most significant religious and political assassination in this generation: Charlie Kirk’s shooting at the Utah Valley University. Readers should note that this list is not exhaustive. There are many more examples beyond this list. Also, these persecution events on U.S. college campuses is not intended for petty games of comparison, as if our persecution is more important than someone else’s. No, this…

What did Jesus mean when He said the Old Testament was all about Him? Frank continues his discussion from a previous podcast episode about typology and prophetic symbols of Jesus found in the Old Testament, based largely on his new Bible study series, ‘The Bible You Never Knew’. This week, he answers questions like: What two ways did Jesus and the apostles interpret the Bible? What parallels connect Jesus, Joshua, Jericho, and even the book of Revelation? What’s the surprising connection between Rahab and those who believe in the saving grace of Jesus Christ? What are the “3 P’s” that reveal Jesus in the Old Testament? What evidence suggests that the Book of Joshua was written by an eyewitness? What is a chiasm and how does it demonstrate the divine…

​​Welcome to my new series on the belief system known as Antifa. If you’re a parent or student, you might be wondering: What do the Antifa professors on my campus actually believe? Why are they pushing communism? My goal in this first installment is to explain their ideological foundation—how they think the world works—so that you can recognize their framework, understand their appeal, and ultimately see why it collapses under its own weight. This helps you see that such professors, for all of their study, have failed to become wise and cannot explain the basics of reality. In the next part, we’ll expose the rational incoherence of that foundation. The public refutation of any movement takes away its influence over the minds of its adherents and potential converts once it…

In a world of constant tragedy and heartache, where is hope? Frank sits down with Pastor Greg Laurie, one of today’s most recognizable voices in evangelism and the driving force behind Harvest Crusades, large-scale evangelistic events which have led millions to Christ since 1990. Together, they discuss Greg’s powerful conversion story, his upcoming crusade coming to the site of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Utah Valley University, this Sunday (11/16), and how the saving grace of Jesus brings joy and purpose to our lives even through unimaginable pain. They answer questions like: How did Greg go from being a troubled youth to becoming one of the world’s most prominent evangelists? What prompted Greg to bring his Harvest Crusades to Utah Valley University on such short notice? What are some of the unique challenges Greg…
