Can We Trust Law Enforcement? with J. Warner Wallace

Charlie Kirk, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, government, J. Warner Wallace, law enforcement, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
What happens to a society when trust in law enforcement collapses? Can a culture survive when those sworn to protect it are constantly vilified? In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, skepticism and cynicism toward law enforcement has surged, reshaping public trust and public safety. Former cold-case homicide detective, J. Warner Wallace, joins Frank to examine how we arrived at this moment and what’s at stake if the trend continues. Together, Frank and Jim answer questions like: What is the primary role of government according to God? Why is local law enforcement considered the #1 essential service of any functional society? How does public skepticism and cynicism toward law enforcement directly impact crime and safety? Why is it so important for police officers…

Legislating Religion Or Morality?

1st Amendment, Charlie Kirk, Christian Nationalism, church and state, John Ferrer, Legislating Morality, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Religious Freedom, Theocracy
It’s often said that “You shouldn’t legislate morality!” But, as Frank Turek argues ably, “all laws legislate morality.” He’s got a point. Legislating morality is inevitable. The question isn’t whether to legislate morality, but whose morality to legislate.[1] This predicament sets the stage for a genuine power struggle. Whose moral vision should win that tug-of-war? The outcome has yet to be determined on this side of eternity. Legislating morality is unavoidable. Legislating religion, however, remains undecided. Historically, the United States has been a majority Christian nation, informed by broadly Christian values, ethics, and worldview. The laws of this land, unsurprisingly, have often reflected a judicious and humanitarian outlook rooted in biblical Christianity. That means a growing recognition of sanctity of human life, the presumption of innocence, and freedom of religion.[2]…

Charlie Kirk’s Message Lives On

I couldn’t sleep last night. I’ll never forget where I was when I first heard the news. I was at the dentist, sitting in the chair getting a cavity filled by my dentist—who, years ago, was in my youth group. After numbing me up, he left the room to let the medication set in. I pulled out my phone, opened Facebook, and saw Graham Allen’s post (seconds after he posted it) asking for prayers for Charlie Kirk. My heart sank. I immediately googled “Charlie Kirk.” Nothing came up. I refreshed it twice, and finally one lone article came up simply noting that Kirk was shot in Utah. No other details were given. A few minutes later, my dentist walked back into the room. His face was pale and shaken. He told…

Conspiracy theories are everywhere in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination—but how much of what you’ve heard is actually true? Was Tyler Robinson really acting alone? Could there have been a second shooter? And why is the FBI withholding details from the public? This week on I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace joins Frank to use his expertise in criminal investigations to tackle the biggest questions circulating online about Charlie’s death. Together, they’ll expose why conspiracies thrive, debunk false claims, and explore how real investigators approach cases like this with truth instead of speculation.

A Case Against Theocracy in 20 Points

1st Amendment, Apologetics, Charlie Kirk, Christianity, church and state, Gospel, John Ferrer, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Religious Freedom, Theocracy
If you watched the Memorial Service for Charlie Kirk, and reports indicate about a third of America did just that, then you saw a lot of people singing songs to God, Christians sermonizing, and political figures politicizing. Church and State were both on full display. This wasn’t a funeral, mind you. Nor was it a church service or a political rally. It was kind of all three, which made it a unique event in recent history. Some of the speakers shared the Gospel, giving an invitation for salvation, and calling people to follow-Christ with everything they’ve got, for their own sake, the sake of their families, and the sake of the country. There were some excellent Christian messages showing a principled Christian engagement in the political sphere in way that…

Tender Hearts vs. the False Gospel of Progressive Christianity with Alisa Childers

Alisa Childers, Charlie Kirk, Charlie's memorial service, Christian Apologetics, Christian Nationalism, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, I Am Charlie, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Progressive Christianity, religion, theology
You would think that when hearts become open to the gospel, Christians would rejoice and get to work. Instead, progressive “Christians” are warning about conservative politics. In fact, some of them chose to use Charlie Kirk’s assassination and memorial service as an opportunity to discourage Christians from engaging in politics rather than encouraging them to share the Gospel! Today, our friend Alisa Childers joins Frank to expose the subtle lies of this movement. Alisa and Frank tackle important and timely questions like: What were Alisa’s biggest takeaways from Charlie’s memorial service? What is the “Third Way” strategy progressives have been advancing for years, a strategy designed to confuse believers, infiltrate churches, and brand faithful Christians as “Christian Nationalists”? How do you spot warning signs in your church? Was Charlie’s memorial service…
