What makes a devout Muslim from Turkey walk away from Islam in the face of extreme hostility? This week, Frank sits down with Ridvan Aydemir (better known online as the Apostate Prophet) whose stunning journey took him from Islam, to atheism, to Christianity. AP opens up about escaping the grip of Islamic doctrine, confronting the violence embedded in its worldview, and discovering the evidence that finally led him to Christ. You’ll also hear how an unlikely friendship with Christian apologist David Wood helped reshape his search for truth. During their conversation, Frank and AP answer questions like: What was the tipping point that broke Ridvan’s confidence in Islam? Why is leaving Islam so dangerous, and why do so many ex-Muslims become outspoken activists? How did Ridvan’s family react to his…

Bible, borders, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, government, illegal immigration, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Do you have locks on your doors? What about a fence so your kids can play safely in the yard? The truth is, everyone believes in secure borders and as long as human nature is bent towards evil, borders will be necessary. This week, Frank picks up where he left off from the last episode as he explains what the Bible really says about immigration, borders, and deportations while answering questions like: What are the important distinctions between legal and illegal immigration? How does stopping illegal immigration protect innocent people from evil? What happens when a country becomes too “soft” on enforcing its laws? What’s the difference between imposing religion vs. imposing morality? What is the #1 purpose of government? Isn’t it compassionate to have open borders? How can America…

Top 10 Reasons Why Borders are Biblical

borders, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, global governments, illegal immigration, mass immigration, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Immigration is one of the most emotionally charged issues of our time, but what does the Bible really say about borders and deportations? Are borders unbiblical, or do they play a necessary role in human flourishing? And can governments enforce laws without violating Jesus’ teachings? In this episode, Frank goes straight to Scripture to discuss one of today’s most heated cultural debates, exposing how key Bible passages are often taken out of context to support mass immigration narratives that the text itself does not teach. Tune in as Frank lays out why the Bible consistently affirms borders and answers questions like: Was Jesus an illegal immigrant? What are four simple rules for interpreting the Bible correctly? Why do people confuse biblical commands to individuals with commands to governments? How can…

But Jesus Never CLAIMED to be God? Actually, He Did—3 Times

Alisa Childers, Apologetics, Christianity, christology, Deity of Christ, Gospel, Jesus Christ, MamaBearApologetics.com, theology
One of the most common objections skeptics raise to the deity of Christ is the idea that Jesus never actually claimed to be God. Sure the church ended up worshiping Him as such, but this was a later development that was projected onto Jesus but wasn’t something He intended to claim for Himself . . . or so the argument goes. If you are expecting to find a Bible verse in which Jesus stands on the Mount of Olives and proclaims in English, and every other known language, “I am God!” You won’t find it. He actually did one better . . . but we’ll save that for the end. Biblically, there are several ways to know that Jesus is God. He accepted worship, possessed all the eternal attributes of God, did things only God can do, and was…

Did Jesus even claim to be God?

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, BrianHuffling.com, Christianity, christology, classical theology, Gospel, Is Jesus God?, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Trinity, watchtoward society
I sat down with some Jehovah’s Witnesses who were visiting with me. The elder who was leading our study stated that Jesus never claimed to be God. Jehovah’s Witnesses argue that Jesus is a created being. Liberal “Christians” argue that Jesus never claimed to be God. Many other groups say the same. If such is the case, then Christians have some explaining to do as they teach that Jesus is God. But did he ever claim this title for himself? Let’s look at what he actually said. I am going to argue that, yes, Jesus in fact did claim to be God. This can be seen by the fact that he claimed to be identical with God in various ways. Jesus Claimed to Be Identical with God Jesus made statements…

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…
