In this special midweek podcast episode recorded LIVE from CrossExamined Instructor Academy 2025 in Charlotte, NC, Frank sits down with Megan Basham, Alisa Childers, and Natasha Crain to discuss some of the popular secular ideas that plague the modern Church and answer questions like: Does calling out sin and false teachers cause division in the Church?

Does your church teach you how to interpret the Bible? Sadly, many Christians never learn the tools to read Scripture well, and that leads to all kinds of confusion about theology. But how can we know if we’re handling God’s Word the right way?

Has the Holy Spirit Stopped Working? PLUS Is the Bible All We Need?

Bible, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Holy Spirit, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, Sola Scriptura, theology
Why does the Church seem so ineffective (and sometimes corrupt) when it claims to carry the truth? Does this mean the Holy Spirit is no longer at work? And why does Frank recommend so many books on his podcast: isn’t the Bible all we need? Tune in this week as he tackles these pressing listener questions and quickly recaps last week’s popular series on the Book of Revelation and the end times while addressing other questions like: Why would God allow His Church to be so corrupt, chaotic, and unfaithful? Do we need to sense the Holy Spirit working in our lives in order for Christianity to be true? Despite its shortcomings, what positive impact has the Church made in the West and all over the world? What is the…

Does Jesus Ever Talk About Homosexuality?

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Bible, Christianity, cultural apologetics, gender and sexuality, Gospel, Hillary Ferrer, Homosexuality, MamaBearApologetics.com, New Testament, Theology and Christian Apologetics
I was in my mid-20s living in San Diego. I joined some people from a nearby church and went to a Pride parade to pass out water, give hugs, and hold signs saying “We are sorry the church hasn’t loved you the way Jesus would” (or something along those lines). All of a sudden, I was descended upon by a film crew with a microphone asking me what Jesus had to say about homosexuality. I was not expecting this, but I was giddy to share the love of Christ and talk about how we are all sinners saved by grace and how Jesus never singled out homosexuality as worse than any other type of sexual immorality. In the middle of my sentence (which I had been certain would be received with amazement,…
