Why Your Atheist Friend Will Never Change His Mind (Unless…)

Apologetics, Atheism, Christianity, dialogue, Evangelism, faith, fideism, Gospel, https://smartfaith.me, logical fallacies, Practical Apologetics, Theology and Christian Apologetics
Ever feel like talking to your atheist friend about faith is like hitting your head against a brick wall? You’ve tried explaining, debating, carefully exegeting Bible verses, but they just don’t get it after repeated corrections. You’re starting to wonder if they ever will. Sound familiar? You’re probably thinking, “Why do they keep twisting what faith really means?” It’s like they’re stuck in this loop, misrepresenting faith as some blind leap without evidence. You’ve been patient, clear, and respectful, but nothing seems to change. It’s enough to make anyone want to throw their hands up and walk away. But hang tight. There’s a reason for their stubbornness, and it’s not just about being argumentative. The truth is, atheists often fall into hidden fallacies that keep them from truly understanding faith.…

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…

Religious Pluralism: What About Those That Have Never Heard the Gospel?

Apologetics, Christianity, Evangelism, Exclusivism, Gospel, Inclusivism Categories: Theology and Christian Apologetics, IsChristianityTrue.Wordpress.com, Pluralism, Steve Lee, Theology and Christian Apologetics, tolerance, universalism, World Religions
Several years back my eldest son who was in fifth grade at the time was brushing his teeth and getting ready for bed. He stepped into the hall and yanked the toothbrush out of his mouth, slinging toothpaste against the wall, and asked, “Dad, dad! What about those people who have never heard about Jesus? Do they go to hell?” First, what fifth grader thinks about such things when they are brushing their teeth (apparently mine). Second, this has been one of the formidable issues that I believe any reflective Christian can contemplate. The issue at hand is that it seems unfair to us for God to not provide salvation to someone just because they did not get a chance (because of historical or geographical reasons) to hear the gospel…

What Should We Think About Angels & Demons? with Pastor Allen Jackson

Angels & Demons, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Islam, morality, Pastor Allen Jackson, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
We see the battle between good and evil throughout the Bible and in the world around us. But do angels and demons influence our lives today and if they do, how do they interact with us? Joining Frank on the program this week is Pastor Allen Jackson from World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, TN. Under his humble yet confident leadership, the church has grown from fewer than 30 people to over 15,000 since 1989. His new book, ‘Angels, Demons & You: Unseen Spiritual Influences in Our Lives‘, provides a biblical perspective on the reality of spiritual forces and how they impact our daily lives. Together, Frank and Allen answer questions like: What happened to Allen’s mom that led to his whole family being born again? How did World Outreach Church…

The Day the Veil Was Torn: An Evangelical’s Awakening in London

Antifada, Antisemitism, Antizionism, Apologetics, Christianity, Gospel, Islam, Islamism, Jihadism, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, London, October 7, Shia, Spiritual Warfare, Tim Orr, Zionism
I spent years studying Shia Islam from within, earning an MA in Islamic Studies from the Islamic College in London. My goal was to understand Islam on its terms, not merely as an outsider, but as a serious student of its theology, history, and lived reality. This academic path wasn’t just about gaining knowledge; it was rooted in a deep desire to build bridges between Christians and Muslims through respectful dialogue. I believed that rigorous study, combined with empathy and grace, could overcome centuries of misunderstanding and mistrust. That belief shaped my posture in interfaith spaces for years. However, on October 7, 2023, I was confronted with a reality that no classroom or textbook had prepared me for. What I encountered in the streets of London that day shook the…

Why Drag Isn’t All Fun and Laughs

Apologetics, Children, Christianity, drag, ethics, Gospel, Heroes of Pride, https://drowenanderson.substack.com/, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, LGBTQ, Owen Anderson, Progressivism, trans-activism
My “Pride ‘Heroes’” series draws attention to the philosophy and individuals behind the LGBTQ+ Pride movement.[1] At Arizona State University, the campus library commands all who enter to “Celebrate Pride.” This is the only sexual philosophy granted a dedicated month in which the public is commanded to obey. Meanwhile, ASU’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts hosts an annual Drag Queen show as part of its ongoing promotion of gender ideology. Why? Because the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts also holds events for other ideologies and religions as well, such as Christianity. Oh wait—no, that’s not true. It doesn’t do that. It exclusively pushes a radical leftist agenda. Question: How will that affect federal funding under Trump’s new executive order? A hero is someone who protects children.…

What’s the true meaning of the Book of Revelation? Is it only about the end times, or have we overlooked its deeper roots in the Old Testament? For centuries, Christians have wrestled with its symbols and prophecies—could it be that we’ve been missing the bigger picture? This week, Frank welcomes Dr. Chip Bennett, pastor of Grace Community Church in Sarasota, FL along with his mentor and biblical scholar, Dr. Warren Gage, to reveal the often-ignored historical and theological context behind the Book of Revelation. Tune in as Frank, Chip, and Warren explore how early Christians—and the Church Fathers—understood this mysterious book and what modern readers might be missing.

Are we the generation to witness the triumphant return of Jesus? After all, aren’t we seeing all the signs being fulfilled on the news right now? In this midweek episode, Frank unpacks end times views, challenges popular assumptions about prophecy, and answers tough listener questions related to feminism and the importance of the epistles in teaching us how to live the Christian life. Tune in as he tackles questions such as: Is watching the news the best way to set your prophetic clock? What was Jesus talking about in Matthew 24 during the Olivet Discourse? Has the Church replaced Israel and what does it mean to “bless Israel”? Should Christians support everything that Israel does? How can we trust the New Testament if Jesus didn’t write it and why are…
