This week, the great Greg Koukl, President of Stand to Reason and bestselling author of ‘Tactics‘ and more recently ‘Street Smarts‘, sits down with Frank during CIA 2024 to explore why so many Christians (both young and old) are struggling to answer EASY questions about the faith, the pro-life position, and sexual morality.
