5 Biblical Men Every Boy Should Know

4. Is the NT True?, Amy Davison, Apologetics, Bible characters, Biblical manhood, Boy Mom, Christianity, Gospel, MamaBearApologetics, Raising Boys
A Twitter post caught my eye a while back from a brother in Christ who was fed up with his church’s take on biblical manhood. Manhood, it was implied, was a burly trinity of plaid, football, and Clint Eastwood. As if the lost 11th commandment was: Thine beard shall be like Jesus, and thou shalt give John the Baptist a run for his money with thine outdoorsman skills!  I know a lot of guys who would have no problem with this definition of manhood. But our guy on Twitter felt out of place, at church and even with his own manly identity. Mamas, our boys have been fed a line or two about what it means to be a man. Just like our girls (read about women your girls should know here),…

Is the Bible HATE Speech? Plus Q&A

Bible and morality, Christian Apologetics, Christian Worldview, Christianity, Culture and Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Free speech vs hate, LGBTQ debate, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Is disagreement hate? And what about speaking out against certain sexual behaviors, like LGBTQ? Does that make you a mentally unstable person? A Canadian “hate speech” bill is currently causing concern as critics warn it could chill religious speech and expose some people to prosecution for simply quoting the Bible. Meanwhile, basketball player Jaden Ivey is promptly fired from the Chicago Bulls for stating that Pride Month celebrates “unrighteousness” as other NBA players commit serious felonies (including physically harming others) without serious repercussions. What’s up with that? Pack your patience during the midweek episode as Frank addresses these and many other questions including: What is the irony behind Liberal Party MP Marc Miller’s statements in regards to Bible passages in Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Romans? Where does our identity come from?…

Arguing from the Extremes

1. Does Truth Exist?, Apologetics, Argumentation, Christianity, fallacy, FreeThinkingMinistries.com, Gospel, logic, Phil Kallberg, “arguing from extremes”
There is a very common type of fallacious reasoning that I have termed arguing from the extremes. Once you see this, you’ll notice that it’s everywhere in our society and especially political discourse. Roughly speaking it’s the idea that one or an extremely small number of counter examples disproves a whole theory. This is simply not how to do good reasoning. If you see x follow y 1,000 times you will rightly conclude that there is some type of causal link between x and y. If on try 1,001, x does not follow y, that should give you pause, but it shouldn’t prompt you to conclude that your established theory (x follows y) needs to be completely thrown out.[1] That would be stupid. But a lot of people do reason like this. So, for example, it has…

Can You REALLY Follow Jesus and Stay Silent on Politics? with Pastor Josh McPherson

Biblical truth, Christian Apologetics, Christian culture, Christianity, Church morality, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, Pastor Josh McPherson, philosophy, Podcast, religion, secular society, theology
Has the Church become more political in recent years? Or have politics drifted out of their lane and into the lane of the Church? Pastor Josh McPherson of Grace City Church in Wenatchee, WA, joins Frank to discuss why the Church must restart its God-given responsibility as the voice of morality in a secular culture. They’ll dive into Josh’s firsthand experiences of advancing the Kingdom through political engagement and why he believes the “evacuation” of Christians from the public square has created a dangerous leadership vacuum that is detrimental not only to people, but to the propagation of the gospel. Tune in as they answer questions like: How did a thriving conservative “megachurch” emerge in the liberal state of Washington? What did Josh witness during his recent interactions with President…
