Addictions, Allen Parr, Becoming Like Christ, Bobby Conway, Christian Apologetics, christian growth, Christian Living, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Generational Curses, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, Sanctification, Spiritual Transformation, theology
John 8:36 states, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” So why can the same old sins, fears, habits, and wounds keep dragging us down? Frank joins fellow apologists Allen Parr and Bobby Conway from CIA 2026 in Charlotte, NC for a candid conversation about the battles Christians don’t always like to admit they’re fighting. Drawing from their own struggles and Allen’s new book, Breaking Through, they unpack what sanctification looks like when getting saved happens in a moment, but becoming more like Christ takes a lifetime. They’ll tackle questions like: If Christ sets you free, why can you still feel trapped by the same sins and bad habits? What are “soul chains,” and how can you tell if one has a grip on your life?…

Does the Bible teach that Christians are to listen for God’s voice to guide their decisions? For many people, such an intimacy is central to a personal relationship with God, and the core of a true Christian life. But is it biblical? Greg Koukl, Founder and President of Stand to Reason, joins the program to discuss the popular idea of “hearing from God” and what to do if you feel stuck in the mud because God’s hints and whispers are not as loud as you expected. Using Scripture as his guide, Greg explains: Does the Bible teach God is “trying” to speak to each one of us? Can His efforts be thwarted by inattention, excessive activity, or sin, as some suggest? What does Scripture mean when it says Christians are…

Rewriting History – Debunking the Lies You’ve Always Been Told About America with Tim Barton

American history, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Founding Fathers, History Myths, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology, Tim Barton, WallBuilders
What if some of the biggest claims you’ve heard about American history aren’t true? For decades, Americans have been told that Christopher Columbus launched a campaign of genocide, the Founding Fathers were racist deists, and the United States was uniquely evil from the very beginning. While people of every nation have undeniably done evil (that’s why we all need a Savior), are those claims about America based on the historical record or Marxist propaganda? If you think you already know America’s story, think again! This week, Frank interviews historian and President of WallBuilders, Tim Barton, who holds the nation’s largest private collection of original American historical documents (totaling more than 100,000 pieces!). So Tim’s insights come from what was recorded by the founders themselves. Tune in as Frank and Tim…

A BRICKMAKER Defense for God’s Existence

2. Does God Exist?, 3. Are Miracles Possible?, Apologetics, bellatorchristi.com, Brian Chilton, Brickmaker, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, God’s existence, Gospel
Recently, several people have approached me and asked if there are good, simple ways to defend the existence of God. Some have said, “You cannot see God, so how do I know for sure that he’s there?” This seems to be one of the most pressing issues that I have seen as of late. In my book Layman’s Manual on Christian Apologetics, I offered a five-point acronym to defend God’s existence; the acronym was called BRICK (BVG theorem, right conditions, information, compassion and ethics, and the Kalam cosmological argument). [1] The book was published in 2019. Since then, I have come across numerous other reasons to believe in God’s existence. With a few adaptations, we can expand BRICK to a BRICKMAKER defense. Let’s take a look at ten good reasons for believing in God’s existence.…
