Has the recent political shift softened the growing animosity toward Christians, or is hostility here to stay? The election may be over, but Christians can’t afford to let our guards down just yet.

Spiritual Warfare: Christians, Demonization and Deliverance with Dr. Karl Payne

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, demonization, Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Karl Payne, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, Spiritual Warfare, theology
How should Christians deal with demons, spiritual warfare, and the unseen realm? Is it possible evil spirits are the cause of your anxiety and depression? While some charismatics may go to the extreme and focus too much on demons, conservative Christians often avoid the topic altogether. But if Jesus and the Bible warns about demonic oppression and spiritual warfare, what can we as Christians do to recognize and combat it if and when it occurs in our personal lives? In this week’s podcast episode, Frank sits down with Dr. Karl Payne, former chaplain for the Seattle Seahawks and Discipleship Pastor at Antioch Bible Church in Redmond, WA, to uncover the realities of spiritual warfare as detailed in his book, ‘Spiritual Warfare: Christians, Demonization, and Deliverance‘. During their conversation, they’ll tackle questions like: How did a non-charismatic, ordained conservative Baptist minister ever begin working with…

In last week’s episode, Melissa Dougherty, author of the brand-new book, ‘Happy Lies‘, joined Frank to discuss the foundational beliefs of the New Thought movement and how its theology has misled many well-meaning Christians.

Are You Believing Happy Lies? with Melissa Dougherty

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Church, Dr. Frank Turek, Happy Lies, Melissa Dougherty, morality, New Age, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Is the Bible just about encouragement, living “your truth,” seeking personal happiness, finding your identity, and manifesting your desires? This self-centered perspective has quietly crept into the minds of many well-meaning Christians who are influenced by cultural lies that have been disguised as spiritual truths. But what are some of these “happy lies” you might unknowingly believe as a Christian and how can you correct them? In this week’s podcast, Frank welcomes our good friend, author, and Christian YouTuber, Melissa Dougherty, to discuss her brand new book, ‘Happy Lies: How a Movement You (Probably) Never Heard Of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World‘. Together, they’ll dive into the beliefs of the New Thought movement and its profound (yet often unnoticed) impact on the modern Church.

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, FOMO, Incentives, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Are you following the truth or are you following incentives that may cause you to turn your back on Christianity and throw Jesus under the bus? On this midweek podcast episode, Frank continues the conversation on the powerful incentives that often prevent us from denying ourselves and picking up our cross for Christ as we go through our daily lives. He’ll answer questions like: What does FOMO (the fear of missing out) reveal about our underlying motivations? Why does the question, “If Christianity were true, would you be a Christian?” often reveal a non-believer’s true intentions and desires? What did Norman Geisler mean when he said, “Fraternity will almost always overcome theology.”? What are some examples from the Bible when people follow incentives instead of following Christ? Near the end…

Why Do You Do What You Do: Truth or Incentives?

Blaise Pascal, once said, “People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof, but on the basis of what they find attractive.” Have you ever taken the time to reflect on what it is that primarily motivates all of us to make decisions? Is it based on what’s objectively true or what we find attractive? Are we following facts or are we more inclined to follow our desires and self-preservation? It’s a brand-new year, and since many of us set goals for 2025, Frank is kicking things off with an investigation into how incentives can often lead both Christians and non-Christians away from the truth; how to recognize when we’re being influenced by cultural peer pressure; and how incentives have historically led the masses to do…
