Does evil disprove God? If not, what is God’s purpose for evil? Why would a good God allow evil that seems to have no purpose, like the recent m*rder of Charlie Kirk? What is God’s ultimate solution to evil? Watch Frank present, ‘If God, Why Evil?’, which was recorded earlier this week at Western Carolina Univ. in Cullowhee, NC during his first public appearance since the tragic events that took place on 9/10/2025. Frank will continue his college tour this fall to honor the life and legacy of Charlie. Please join him in-person or LIVE online at the follow locations: McNeese State Univ.

How to Spot a Kant in Sheep’s Clothing

Apologetics, Christianity, Divine law, ethics, evil, Good, Gospel, https://drowenanderson.substack.com/, Immanuel Kant, Kantianism, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Moral Argument for God Categories:, Objectivism, Owen Anderson, relativism, Uncategorized

One of the ways you will find philosophy professors denying Christ is through an appeal to Kantian ethics. Kant’s ethical theory uses many positive-sounding words that appeal to our moral intuitions. Yet, when we examine the content, we find that Kant was opposed to Christ as revealed in Scripture. Instead, he sought to elevate the individual’s moral intuitions as the highest authority, and even above the Bible. I know of professors who lure students in by claiming to be Christians, but then play a shell game: they subtly replace Christianity with Kantianism, and then argue that the Bible and Christianity are false because they contradict their moral intuitions. Kant’s Ethics Permit me to give you a brief overview of Kantianism. Immanuel Kant sought to ground ethics not in religion or…

When Is Love Evil?

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, evil, government, J.D. Vance, Love, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Politics, religion, theology

What ONE insight will either make or break your life as a Christian, or even as a non-Christian? If followed, it will help your marriage, parenting, business, job, friendships, politics, and most importantly, your eternity and your relationship with Jesus. Spurred by recent political and cultural events surrounding President Trump’s first 100 days in office and comments made by Vice President J.D. Vance during a recent interview about protecting the interest of American citizens, Frank reminds listeners of the doctrine of “Ordered Loves”. Originally articulated by Augustine over 1,600 years ago, this classic school of thought seems to be totally lost among our culture today. Tune in as Frank answers questions like: What is the Doctrine of “Ordered Loves”, why is it so important, and how does it affect every…

67 Innocent Lives Perish in Plane Crash: Why Didn’t God Intervene? with Dr. Andy Steiger

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Andy Steiger, Dr. Frank Turek, evil, God, morality, philosophy, Plane Crash, Podcast, religion, Suffering, theology

Tragic events like the devastating collision between American Airlines Eagle Flight 5342 and a military Black Hawk helicopter that claimed the lives of 67 innocent people shake us to our core and leave us asking deep, unsettling questions. Questions like, where was God and why would He allow this to happen? Suffering is an unavoidable part of life, making it crucial for Christians to reconcile God’s goodness with the presence of evil. This week, Frank sits down with Dr. Andy Steiger, co-creator of the new video series, ‘Can I Trust the Bible?‘, and President of Apologetics Canada, to tackle one of the most difficult topics in apologetics: the problem of evil. During their conversation, they will answer questions like: Does the presence of evil disprove God? What does it mean to…

How Apologetics Helps Through Times of Grief

Apologetics, Bellator Christi, Brian Chilton, Christianity, Comfort, evil, grief, Pastoral Care, problem of pain, Suffering, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics

If we live long enough, grief is something that we will all experience at one point or another. Grief is difficult. Some have even said that “grief is a challenging beast.” It impacts each person differently. Grief is a sense of sorrow that one feels when a person experiences a form of loss. More frequently, this loss is associated with those who have had loved ones who passed away. However, grief can also include the loss of a job, friendship, hobby, or position. As I have dealt with loss in my personal life, I have surprisingly found how beneficial apologetics is when going through times of sorrow. Apologetics—that is, the defense of the Christian faith—may seem like an unlikely ally of bereavement and psychospiritual care, as many associate it with…
