Aristotle said, “Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.” But what does it REALLY mean to have courage? Frank sits down with author and speaker, Heidi St. John, to discuss how to overcome fear in a world full of hostility towards biblical Christianity. From surviving childhood abuse, cancer, and severe anxiety to homeschooling her seven children and even running for Congress, Heidi has learned firsthand how God uses trials to deepen our faith and push us outside our comfort zones. Together, Frank and Heidi unpack what real courage looks like, why Christians need it now more than ever, and how to instill it in others (especially our kids!). They tackle questions like: Why is courage the foundation for living out our…

I couldn’t sleep last night. I’ll never forget where I was when I first heard the news. I was at the dentist, sitting in the chair getting a cavity filled by my dentist—who, years ago, was in my youth group. After numbing me up, he left the room to let the medication set in. I pulled out my phone, opened Facebook, and saw Graham Allen’s post (seconds after he posted it) asking for prayers for Charlie Kirk. My heart sank. I immediately googled “Charlie Kirk.” Nothing came up. I refreshed it twice, and finally one lone article came up simply noting that Kirk was shot in Utah. No other details were given. A few minutes later, my dentist walked back into the room. His face was pale and shaken. He told…

How did Marxism take over once-Christian universities and help fuel the kind of radicalization that led to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk? Frank sits down with Ratio Christi president Corey Miller to discuss his new book, ‘The Progressive Miseducation of America‘, an eye-opening look at how our universities have polluted the cultural landscape we live in today and turned into breeding grounds for ideological extremism. They tackle critical questions like: How did Corey predict the current wave of anti-Christian hostility years before it erupted? Why did Corey need legal representation before speaking at a college in Utah? How has Marxism made its way into the Church? What is the core idea behind Marxism and why is it so dangerous? How is “hate speech” being weaponized to silence biblical truth?…

Why Culture Hates Charlie Kirk

When my book When Culture Hates You came out earlier this year, I got a lot of comments from both Christians and nonbelievers either laughing off the idea that the culture hates Christians or suggesting to me that writing a book of this nature was unnecessarily “divisive.” There are even some reviews from people who loved the book but still mention that you “just have to get past the title.” Never mind the fact that Jesus Himself told his followers the world would hate them (John 15:18-19: “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.…
