“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15 (ESV) The bathroom debate has resurrected some very old questions about women’s rights.[1] Once upon a time, women fought for separate bathrooms from men. The reasons were obvious. Privacy, modesty, prudence, and the unfortunate fact that men have a worse record for physical and sexual violence. It’s not in women’s best interests to get stuck in a bathroom with a strange man, if she can help it. But in recent years, the common-sense solution of “separate bathrooms” has come under fire. The Trump administration has introduced a new level of pushback, but the bathroom debate is still far from settled. I have to wonder, however, if we could let the air out…

Remembering Rush with David Limbaugh

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, conservatives, David Limbaugh, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, The Rush Limbaugh Show, theology
Are you missing ‘The Rush Limbaugh Show’? You’re not alone! Rush didn’t just comment on the news–he inspired millions, entertained countless listeners, and was a refuge for conservatives during some of the most turbulent times in recent history. But what else made Rush such a towering figure in conservative media? Who better to answer that question than someone who knew him best—his brother! This week, New York Times best-selling author David Limbaugh joins Frank to celebrate Rush’s incredible legacy, reflect on his faith journey up until his passing in 2021, and discuss how David’s own dive into apologetics and Scripture led him to Christ. Together, they’ll tackle questions like: Why did so many people disagree with Rush–and why might that actually be a compliment? What made Rush a masterful broadcaster and sharp political commentator? What role did faith play…

Alex O’Connor Misses The Mark On His Distinction Between Types Of Worship

Alex O’Connor, Apologetics, ChristianConcern.com, Christianity, David Wood, debate, Deity of Christ, Gospel, Latreuo, New Testament, Proskuneo, Sean Redfearn, Theology and Christian Apologetics, worship
A key argument in Alex O’Connor’s debate with David Wood is the distinction Alex draws (in his first rebuttal) between “proskuneo” (Gk: προσκυνέω) worship and “latreuo” (Gk: λατρεύω) worship. Both proskuneo worship and latreuo worship are biblical terms used to describe worship or service to God, but they carry different shades of meaning. Proskuneo means to physically bow down, or prostrate oneself in order to show reverence. Latreuo means to serve or honour in a religious or sacrificial sense. In Romans 12:1 for example, Paul tells us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice as latreuo to God). The crux of Alex’s argument is that, on these two senses of worship, Jesus never receives latreuo worship in the way that only God does, and there is nothing special about…

What’s the Difference Between True & Almost True? with Dr. Erwin Lutzer

Why does the papacy exist in Roman Catholicism? What did the recent death of Pope Francis reveal about his legacy? And why do so many modern liberals misunderstand the true role of the Pope—treating him more like a soft-spoken “social worker with a Mr. Rogers personality” than a defender of sound doctrine? This week, Frank sits down with the one and only Dr. Erwin Lutzer to talk about the sobering state of the world, the growing animosity towards objective truth, and why Christians should avoid the temptation to compromise as the world drifts further into confusion, political unrest, and chaos (mixed in with a dad joke or two!). During their conversation, Frank and Erwin will answer questions like: What’s the first duty of a pope and what should the cardinals focus on…
