How do you address progressive arguments from 20 liberal “Christians” against the historic Christian faith with truth and grace? Look no further than the recent Jubilee debate with Allie Beth Stuckey, author and host of the popular ‘Relatable’ podcast, who impressed even non-Christians with her amazing performance. This week, Allie joins Frank to pull back the curtain on what happened behind the scenes during the debate while answering questions like: How did Allie get started speaking about Christian political and cultural engagement? What made Allie’s Jubilee appearance resonate even with skeptics? What impact did Charlie Kirk have on Allie’s decision to appear on the show? What surprised Allie the most when the debate started? Does truth and morality change with culture? Was Jesus progressive? Is there a biblical connection between…

In the previous blog in this series, we recommended starting spiritual college preparation with the faith-based foundation of Bible study and prayer. To that, we suggest adding several intellectual disciplines, which together help us love God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We start with the faith-building strength training of apologetics. Intellectual Challenges Your Kid May Face    For a while now, the stats haven’t been good for Christian kids’ faith to come out intact after they hit the college campus or even after high school. (If you want the facts, just read a summary here.) In recent months there has been some better news about Gen Z: they are more open spiritually, and young men are attending church more. However, there are still questions about  that “spirituality” leading to Christianity and whether the habit…

The False Dilemma of Worldly Philosophies

“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 One of my goals as a Christian and as a tenured full professor of philosophy and religion at our nation’s largest research university (ASU) is to help Christian parents and students understand what to expect if they attend classes teaching radical ideologies—DEI, LGBTQ+, Antifa, decolonization, anti-settler, anti-white, and anti-heteronormativity theories. Christians know that such universities would never permit a Christian to use class time for evangelism. The radical Marxist professor seems to think that the First Amendment guarantees them a job as a professor, but it doesn’t guarantee them that anyone will attend their classes or programs. So how did we get here, and what can…

When Propaganda Wears a Habit: Why Apologists Must Guard the Truth

Note: The original version of this article was published on Dr. Orr’s Substack. The present version has been substantially revised and adapted by the author. When Tucker Carlson aired the episode Here’s What It’s Really Like to Live as a Christian in the Holy Land (2025), the optics were powerful. His guest, Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos, appeared cloaked in a black Orthodox veil, her presence suggesting sanctity and authenticity. The fact that she was also the sister of George Stephanopoulos, longtime ABC political commentator, made the segment doubly compelling. The habit and the surname prepared audiences to assume her words carried both religious authority and cultural weight. On the surface, she seemed to speak truth about Christian suffering in the land of Christ’s birth. In reality, what she offered was not…
