End the Stalemate | with Dr. Sean McDowell

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Politics, Radio, Sean McDowell, Spotify, stitcher
When was the last time you had a REAL and MEANINGFUL conversation with someone who disagreed with your Christian worldview? We live in a divisive culture that has led to nearly a third of people reporting they have stopped talking to a friend or family member due to a disagreement. Many Christians no longer feel safe to share their opinions for fear or being bullied or cancelled by friends, family, and co-workers. Is staying silent really the answer, or is there a better way to speak the truth in love as God’s ambassadors? This week, Frank sits down with our good friend, Dr. Sean McDowell—author, Christian apologist, and one of YouTube’s best at interviewing people from opposite ends of the spectrum. They’ll dive into his new book (co-authored with Tim Muehlhoff), ‘End the…

Should Christians Support Israel? | with Dr. Jeff Myers

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Israel, Jeff Myers, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Radio, Spotify, stitcher
Does the Bible promise prosperity to those who bless and support Israel? In the wake of the October 7th attacks on Israel by the Hamas terrorist group, antisemitism in the West is shockingly at an all-time high. What’s driving this sudden surge in antisemitism, and what can we glean from the Old Testament scriptures in relation to God’s covenant with Abraham and how it applies to the modern state of Israel today? This week on the podcast, Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, joins Frank to discuss his latest book, ‘Should Christians Support Israel?: Seeking a Biblical Worldview in an Impossible Situation.’ Tune in as Jeff breaks down the basics of the Israel-Palestine conflict, sharing insights from his recent trip to Israel. He’ll reveal the inspiration behind the book, what he observed…

63+ Million Reasons to Join The White Rose Resistance | with Seth Gruber

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Politics, Radio, Seth Gruber, Spotify, stitcher
Does today’s culture value human life in the same way that our Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, did when he penned the Declaration of Independence? According to statistics compiled by the National Right to Life organization, there have been approximately 63+ million abortions performed in the United States since 1973. While there’s no doubt that Jefferson was fully committed to the concept of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens, many Americans today have been deceived into believing that the right to life only applies to life outside the womb. But if the unborn don’t truly hold these inalienable rights as described in our founding documents, does anyone else? Last month, pro-life speaker Seth Gruber joined Frank to talk about his brand-new book (and documentary of the same name), ‘The 1916 Project: The…

Apologetics and Politics

How should we live?How should we think?How should we vote? Are these questions with objectively right or wrong answers? That is to say, is it true — apart from human opinion — that humanity ought to live, think, and even vote in a certain manner? Some Questions that Need Answering If it is not objectively right or wrong to live, think, or vote in a certain manner, then does anything really matter? Moreover, if it is objectively wrong to live, think, and vote in a certain manner — how would we know? After all, is how we ought to vote determined by the majority vote? That doesn’t seem right. Are these things merely based on your emotions or “how it makes you feel?” That doesn’t seem right either because, as Ben Shapiro often says “Facts don’t care about your feelings.” One…

The Real-Life Horror Stories of Gender Ideology and Public Schools | with Laura Bryant Hanford

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Laura Bryant Hanford, Podcast, Radio, Spotify, stitcher
What would you do if you learned that your child’s school had been plotting an elaborate scheme to legally abduct your child, cutting off all communication from you and forcing them into a state-run facility because they view you as the enemy? Could we really be living in an America where teachers introduce vulnerable students to drugs and pornography, implanting transgender ideology into their minds, all the while deliberately hiding it from their parents? Believe it or not, these horror stories are happening all over the country, even in America’s most conservative states! But what can you do to protect your children? This week, Frank sits down with Laura Bryant Hanford, an advocate for human rights, religious freedom and school policy, a contributing writer to The Federalist, and a graduate of Princeton University.…

How to Talk with Your Teens about Sex and Love from a Biblical Worldview: Interview with Sean McDowell

Apologetics, Biblical Worldview, Christian Ethics, Christianity, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Love, marriage, Natasha Crain, Romance, sex, Theology and Christian Apologetics
Over the last several years, I’ve spoken on the subject of apologetics to many groups of parents at churches and conferences. Although none of my talks deal with the topic of sexuality, I can hardly think of a time when I wasn’t asked a question about it either in the Q & A or in private conversation afterward with an individual parent. In particular, parents always want to know what they should say to their kids about homosexuality and transgender questions. These are undoubtedly the most top of mind questions parents have today. Not the Sex Question Again! While I can appreciate that these specific questions are front and center in culture, I always feel a bit disappointed when I get them. Frankly, I feel like we’ve really missed the boat if…

Jacob, Joseph, and Jesus: EVEN MORE “Third Day” References in the Old Testament | with Dr. Chip Bennett

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Chip Bennett, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Radio, Spotify, stitcher
Is the whole of Scripture just a disorganized collection of conflicting documents? Some scholars think so, claiming it to be a battleground for historical contradictions. But what if it’s actually a carefully orchestrated thread, woven together and preserved by the Divine Author Himself? Just a few episodes ago, Dr. Chip Bennett wowed listeners with his insights into the resurrection themes and third day narratives from the Old Testament. For this midweek podcast episode, Chip returns to dive even deeper into the Hebrew Bible and to uncover how the Messianic prophecies are intertwined with the tales of patriarchs like Jacob, Joseph, Joshua, and Judah. How do some of our daily routines point to the resurrection? Can the story of Cinderella shed light on the Gospel? How does the third day relate to life and death motifs? All these questions and more will be answered in…

A Compassionate Response to Alistair Begg’s ‘Bad Advice’ on LGBT Weddings

Alistair Begg, Apologetics, Christian Ethics, Christian Marriage, Christianity, cultural apologetics, gay marriage, Gospel, Jason Jimenez, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, LGBTQ, Sexual Ethics, Stand Strong Ministries
Some time has passed since controversial advice resurfaced from popular preacher Alistair Begg on his radio program, “Truth for Life.” The controversy revolves around Pastor Begg shocking a grandmother with the advice to not only attend her grandson’s transgender wedding but also to buy them a gift. To reinforce the grandmother attending the trans wedding, pastor Begg prefaced it by saying, “Well, here’s the thing: your love for them may catch them off guard, but your absence will simply reinforce the fact that they said, ‘These people are what I always thought: judgmental, critical, unprepared to countenance anything.'” Days following the backlash Begg and his ministry received, a spokesman for “Truth for Life” published this statement: “Alistair’s advice to the inquirer was that of a grandfather [Mr. Begg] seeking to…

The 1916 Project | with Seth Gruber

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Politics and Religion, Radio, Seth Gruber, Spotify, stitcher
How did things like third-trimester abortions, infanticide, euthanasia, critical race theory, transgender ideology, and drag queen story hour become embedded in modern American culture? In an age where children are exposed to pornographic material in their own school libraries and concerned parents are labeled as “domestic terrorists”, where can we find the root cause of the underlying worldview that’s currently dominating our society? And how did we end up here so quickly? The answers may shock you! In what may be one of the most controversial and revelatory podcast episodes to date, Frank interviews pro-life speaker Seth Gruber, author of the book and soon-to-be released documentary called ‘The 1916 Project‘, which explores how abortion became the linchpin of secularism and how it’s destroying western civilization. As founder of the fastest-growing pro-life non-profit organization in America, The…
