Was Charlie Kirk’s memorial service a “dangerous display of Christian Nationalism” like some media outlets claim? While Frank is on his college tour in honor of Charlie, our friends Alisa Childers and Natasha Crain step in to host the program and break down the false narratives taking place on social media and discuss how Christians can respond when accused of being “too political.” Along the way, they tackle big questions like: How has Charlie Kirk’s death impacted Alisa and Natasha on a personal and professional level? What does it mean to be called a “Christian Nationalist”? Is the United States headed toward a revival, or deeper division? Should Christians stay out of politics? Was Charlie Kirk killed for his political or Christian beliefs? What is a critical mistake many Christians…

Ever feel like talking to your atheist friend about faith is like hitting your head against a brick wall? You’ve tried explaining, debating, carefully exegeting Bible verses, but they just don’t get it after repeated corrections. You’re starting to wonder if they ever will. Sound familiar?

You’ve been patient, clear, and respectful, but nothing seems to change. It’s enough to make anyone want to throw their hands up and walk away. But hang tight.

Claude Bernard, the father of modern Physiology, states that the doubter is “the true scientist; he doubts himself and his interpretations, but he believes in science.[1] Can faith and doubt coexist? Are not they two ends of the spectrum? Is doubt good or bad? This article will try to answer these questions. Types of Doubt: Good or Bad Christians usually perceive doubt as a bad thing. Many pastors encourage their congregations to just believe, quoting verses such as Matt 17:20, Mark 4:40. Probably the most quoted verse is when Jesus answered “Truly, I say…
