Is Everyone Oppressed Now? Why Satan Loves Marxism with Phoenix Hayes

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Frank Turek, Karl Marx, Marxism, morality, philosophy, Phoenix Hayes, Podcast, religion, The War on Reality, theology
We’re told men can have babies, math is racist, abortion is healthcare, castrating children is also healthcare, and disagreement somehow qualifies as hate speech. How did we get here, and what do these seemingly unrelated ideas all have in common? Phoenix Hayes, co-author of ‘The War on Reality‘, joins Frank to unpack one of their favorite chapters from the book (available for immediate download as soon as you pre-order!), and trace the ideas shaping today’s cultural madness back to the man behind the ideology: Karl Marx. Together, they answer questions like: Who was Karl Marx, and what was the darkness lurking behind his worldview? Who was Adam Smith, and how does his view of economics compare to Karl Marx? How did Marxism move from economics into race, gender, sexuality, and…

Does Loving Your Neighbor Require You to Vote?

Apologetics, Christianity, David Baggett, FreeThinkingMinistries.com, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Stewardship, Tim Stratton
One Christian philosopher who has most influenced my thinking is Dr. David Baggett. Few scholars have done more to defend the Moral Argument for God’s existence. His work has profoundly shaped my own thinking about morality, human dignity, and libertarian freedom, and I remain deeply grateful for his influence—and, more importantly, his friendship. For that reason, I was genuinely surprised when David and his wife, MaryBeth, recently announced that they no longer identify as evangelical Christians. Their explanation was centered upon what they regard as the unhealthy political trajectory of modern evangelicalism. In their view, too many evangelicals have allowed politics to eclipse discipleship, confusing the Kingdom of God with partisan power and sacrificing Christian witness in the process of casting votes for Republicans. After reading David’s reflections, I became…

What America Forgot About George Washington with Eric Metaxas

American Founding, Christian Apologetics, Christian faith, Christianity, Divine providence, Dr. Frank Turek, Eric Metaxas, George Washington, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
George Washington is one of the most recognizable names in American history. But before the presidency, the monuments, and the dollar bill, he was a military leader carrying the weight of a revolution that could easily have failed. This week, Eric Metaxas joins Frank to discuss his new book, ‘Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World‘, and why understanding Washington means understanding far more than battlefield strategy. Their conversation traces the faith, character, political philosophy, and providential moments that helped shape the American Revolution and the nation that followed. Frank and Eric tackle questions like: Why is George Washington so central to the story of the American Revolution? Why is Eric’s new book titled ‘Revolution’ and not ‘The American Revolution’? Why does liberty need…
