What About Other Religions?

Apologetics, bellatorchristi.com, Christianity, Exclusivism, Gospel, Inclusivism, Pluralism, religion, religious tolerance, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Tony Williams, World Religions

One of the challenges skeptics like to level at Christianity is the argument that there are hundreds and hundreds of religions in existence. How could you possibly know which one is the right one? Who are Christians to think that they have the right one? No one could possibly sift through all the possibilities. Perhaps it would be helpful to clarify what a religion is, how many religions there are, and how we can know we have the right one. Religion, Defined In order to have a meaningful conversation about any topic, we must make sure to clarify our terms. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (1), the definition of “religion” would include [some combination of] the following: an organized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices the religious beliefs, observances,…

Can We Declare Reality? Manifestation, Affirmation, & Christian Occultism with Phoenix Hayes

Christian Apologetics, Christian Worldview, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, philosophy, Phoenix Hayes, Podcast, religion, The War on Reality, theology, Truth vs Feelings

Today is the day! ‘The War on Reality‘ has officially been released, and Frank and Phoenix are celebrating by turning the spotlight on a question that might ruffle a few feathers: Can Christians fall into the same trap of trying to bend reality to fit what they want to believe? From health, wealth, and prosperity theology, to manifestation and Christian occultism, they examine popular teachings that sound biblical, but fall apart once you put them back into context. You’ll learn: What is the tragic story of Franz Reichelt and what does it teach us about the limits of our words and personal beliefs? Does Proverbs 18:21 (and other related Bible verses) teach that our words have power? What do exegesis and eisegesis have to do with spotting bad theology? Why…

Is Everyone Oppressed Now? Why Satan Loves Marxism with Phoenix Hayes

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Frank Turek, Karl Marx, Marxism, morality, philosophy, Phoenix Hayes, Podcast, religion, The War on Reality, theology

We’re told men can have babies, math is racist, abortion is healthcare, castrating children is also healthcare, and disagreement somehow qualifies as hate speech. How did we get here, and what do these seemingly unrelated ideas all have in common? Phoenix Hayes, co-author of ‘The War on Reality‘, joins Frank to unpack one of their favorite chapters from the book (available for immediate download as soon as you pre-order!), and trace the ideas shaping today’s cultural madness back to the man behind the ideology: Karl Marx. Together, they answer questions like: Who was Karl Marx, and what was the darkness lurking behind his worldview? Who was Adam Smith, and how does his view of economics compare to Karl Marx? How did Marxism move from economics into race, gender, sexuality, and…

Does Loving Your Neighbor Require You to Vote?

Apologetics, Christianity, David Baggett, FreeThinkingMinistries.com, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Stewardship, Tim Stratton

One Christian philosopher who has most influenced my thinking is Dr. David Baggett. Few scholars have done more to defend the Moral Argument for God’s existence. His work has profoundly shaped my own thinking about morality, human dignity, and libertarian freedom, and I remain deeply grateful for his influence—and, more importantly, his friendship. For that reason, I was genuinely surprised when David and his wife, MaryBeth, recently announced that they no longer identify as evangelical Christians. Their explanation was centered upon what they regard as the unhealthy political trajectory of modern evangelicalism. In their view, too many evangelicals have allowed politics to eclipse discipleship, confusing the Kingdom of God with partisan power and sacrificing Christian witness in the process of casting votes for Republicans. After reading David’s reflections, I became…

What America Forgot About George Washington with Eric Metaxas

American Founding, Christian Apologetics, Christian faith, Christianity, Divine providence, Dr. Frank Turek, Eric Metaxas, George Washington, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology

George Washington is one of the most recognizable names in American history. But before the presidency, the monuments, and the dollar bill, he was a military leader carrying the weight of a revolution that could easily have failed. This week, Eric Metaxas joins Frank to discuss his new book, ‘Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World‘, and why understanding Washington means understanding far more than battlefield strategy. Their conversation traces the faith, character, political philosophy, and providential moments that helped shape the American Revolution and the nation that followed. Frank and Eric tackle questions like: Why is George Washington so central to the story of the American Revolution? Why is Eric’s new book titled ‘Revolution’ and not ‘The American Revolution’? Why does liberty need…

Genderbread Person Part 2: Gender Expression (And maybe how we got to where we are now?)

Apologetics, Christianity, cultural apologetics, gender and sexuality, Genderbread Person, Gospel, Hillary Ferrer, identity, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, MamaBearApologetics

In our previous blog, we introduced you to the Genderbread curriculum, a teaching guide that tells kids as young as kindergarten how to think of sex and gender as a really confusing, multi-variable continuum where the two are mostly unrelated to each other. While I want to give parents the tools for how to think through and discuss these topics with their kids, today we are going to take a bit of a historical detour. Why? Because sometimes the key to understanding and fixing where we went wrong is to identify how we got there in the first place. What were the causal factors that might have contributed? When we identify those, we can hopefully avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and return to a healthier approach. In today’s blog, that…

The Bible: A Book of “Stories” or Historical Accounts? with Dinesh D’Souza

Archaeological Discoveries, Bible Evidence, Biblical Archaeology, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dinesh D’Souza, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, The Stones Cry Out, theology

For centuries, skeptics have argued that parts of the Bible are legend, exaggeration, or history written long after the fact. But what happens when archaeologists start finding the names, places, civilizations, and events recorded in Scripture–do those same skeptics ever change their minds? This week, author, flimmaker, and scholar, Dinesh D’Souza, joins Frank to reveal what sparked his fascination with biblical archaeology and inspired his new book, ‘The Stones Cry Out‘. Together, they trace the archaeological evidence through the biblical timeline, from the world of Abraham and ancient Israel to King David, the New Testament, and discoveries involving people who once existed only on the pages of Scripture. During their conversation, Frank and Dinesh investigate questions like: What first got Dinesh interested in biblical archaeology, and what’s so special about…

The Genderbread Person, Part 1: Gender Identity

Apologetics, Christianity, Culture and Politics, gender identity, Genderbread Person, Gospel, Hillary Ferrer, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, MamaBearApologetics.com, Queer, Queer Theory, sexuality, Woke

Forget the muffin man. Do you know the Genderbread Person? If not, you need to—and especially if you have kids. The Genderbread Person is now a commonly used craft for teaching kids (at least those young enough to be interested in anthropomorphic gingerbread cookies) how to identify the various LGBTQ identities. (The Gender Unicorn is another similar curriculum that is used, but more for older students. They are basically the same concepts.) So, today we begin a four-part series discussing what aspects of sexuality and gender are being taught through this curriculum, and how parents can understand and discuss the implications of it. Before we start this series, though, I want to point everyone back to one of the original posts we did on two questions we need to ask ourselves before we begin speaking…
