 It’s been over a decade since the 2015 Obergefell ruling that mandated same-sex marriage and the stats are in. Has redefining marriage strengthened families, or has it quietly harmed the most vulnerable among us? Frank sits down with Katy Faust, founder and president of Them Before Us, to confront the real-world consequences of so-called “gay marriage,” and introduce the brand-new Greater Than movement—a bold effort to return to the natural law and biblical definition of marriage on behalf of children. During their conversation, Frank and Katy answer questions like: What personal experiences growing up make Katy uniquely qualified to talk about this topic? Why was marriage and family such an important issue to Charlie Kirk? What are the 3 institutions that God created and how are they related? Why…

As Christians, we all believe that Hell is real. But what is the exact nature of God’s eternal punishment? Is Hell eternal conscious torment, or will it ultimately come to an end? This week, Kirk Cameron joins Frank to unpack the controversy that led him to host, ‘Hellgate: The Christian Debate We’re Afraid to Have‘, a roundtable discussion featuring biblical scholars Paul Copan, Chris Date, Gavin Ortlund, and Dan Paterson, examining what Scripture actually teaches about eternal punishment, conditionalism, and the justice of God.

What is conditionalism (annihilationism) and how does it compare to the traditional view of Hell? What did…

What the Mainstream Media Doesn’t Tell You About Immigration Law with Megyn Kelly

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, ICE, immigration, Law, Lawyer, Megyn Kelly, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Why is the biblical (and common sense) purpose of the government to punish wrongdoers being reversed in Minnesota? Federal agents are being blocked from arresting criminals, local officials are shielding criminals from accountability while sweeping massive amounts of fraud under the rug, and anti-ICE agitators are disrupting worship services without any local police response? Who is in the right, legally? Political journalist Megyn Kelly joins the program to expose the legal reality behind the radical activism happening in Minnesota and the growing conflict between the feds and the state. Drawing on her experience as a lawyer, Megyn explains clearly and concisely why sanctuary cities are defying federal authority, and why Americans (especially Christians) can no longer afford to stay silent as Islam quietly gains ground in the West. Together, Frank and…

How in the world could a Christian and an atheist have a civil conversation about the current political climate in the West? It’s easier than you think! As free speech collapses across Europe and ideological enforcement tightens its grip on the U.S., many are asking, are we truly “free” anymore? This week, Frank is joined by philosopher Dr. Peter Boghossian, author of ‘A Manual for Creating Atheists‘, fresh off their surprise appearance together at the chaotic TPUSA event at UC Berkeley. Together, they examine why civil dialogue is breaking down, why Islam presents a unique challenge to Western civilization, and why the modern left seems incapable of self-correction.

Bible, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Robert Gagnon, Homosexuality, marriage, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, sexuality, theology
Are Christian views on marriage and sexuality really “outdated,” or has culture slowly talked us into treating clear biblical teaching as a harmless disagreement? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank and Dr. Robert Gagnon continue their discussion by examining what the Bible actually teaches about homosexuality and why sexual ethics sit at the core of Christian morality. Tune in as they answer questions like: When Jesus showed compassion to tax collectors and sexual sinners was he affirming their sins?
