5 Ways to Know You Are Judging Rightly

It was the only way I knew how to explain my love of Fixer Upper to my bewildered husband. Since the show aired, I would plunk myself down, yell in frustration (who picks a midcentury modern over a classic Victorian, I mean, come on!?), and bask in the beauty of the big reveal. Yes, I loved the shiplap, but like other Christian fans, what I enjoyed most was having a show featuring a Christian couple who truly loved each other. What Christian fans weren’t expecting was to watch the designing duo green-light the normalization of homosexuality when they partnered with HBO for the newest reality, Back to the Frontier. The fallout gave fans everywhere a front row seat to a Christian accountability meeting, and they had a lot to say. “Christians shouldn’t judge (Matthew 7:1)!” “…All…

Is Allah a Zionist? with the Apostate Prophet

Apostate Prophet, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Hamas Israel conflict, Holy Land in the Quran, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Quran and Israel, religion, theology, Zionism in Islam

Does the Quran actually support Zionism? If not, why does it say that the land we know as Israel was given to Israel by God? In this midweek episode, Frank welcomes back Ridvan Ademir, a.k.a Apostate Prophet, to continue their eye-opening conversation about the Hamas–Israel conflict. Together, they peel back the political headlines and examine the theological and historical roots driving the crisis in Gaza. Together, they tackle questions like: Where do we see Israel mentioned in the Quran and what does it say? Why isn’t “Palestine” mentioned in the Quran? How and when did Palestine’s national identity emerge? Why does the Quran say the Holy Land belongs to the Jews? Is Allah a Zionist? What started the 1948 Israel-Arab War? Why do Palestinians have multi-generational refugee status? What are…

Does God Torture Souls in Hell?

CrossExamined

For many nonbelievers, the idea that God could punish his “children” with eternal “torture” is just too much to accept. They reject the notion of hell, often saying that they simply will not believe in such a God, as if their personal aversion to judgment and possible condemnation can somehow change reality. In responding to such a challenge, one can quickly be made to feel that we’re defending the … indefensible? We know that God can appear harsh, and that he will someday judge us, but is he actually callous and uncaring? The exact opposite of what one would view as a “loving father?” There is, of course, no emotionally satisfying answer to this challenge. There is no way to make someone feel good about a place of suffering, whether…

Apostate Prophet, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Islam vs Christianity, Israel Hamas conflict, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, Ridvan Aydemir, theology

What can Christians learn from a former Muslim who now follows Christ? And how can Christians speak truthfully and lovingly with Muslims about Jesus? This week, Frank welcomes back Ridvan Aydemir, also known as the Apostate Prophet, to share more about his journey from Islam to atheism and ultimately to faith in Christ. Together, they tackle the Israel–Hamas conflict, the ideology behind Hamas, and why understanding Islamic theology is essential for effective evangelism. In this episode, Frank and AP will tackle questions like: What ultimately led AP out of Islam, through atheism, and into Christianity? How can Christians lovingly and wisely point Muslims to Christ? What core memory of Christianity does AP still hold from his childhood? What is AP’s new angle on the Islamic Dilemma and why is it…
