He’ll address questions like: How do Marxist principles conflict with biblical teachings on justice and impartiality? How is Baylor violating their own core values on inclusion and diversity? How do some of Baylor’s courses give supposed intellectual justification for violence? What is the purpose of a Christian university? What is the worst advice of the past century? Should academic freedom have limits? How can Christian schools teach other religions and worldviews without compromising biblical truth?

What happens when a university that claims to stand for Christianity makes it nearly impossible to host an event defending the truth of the Christian faith? And could it possibly involve extortion? That’s exactly what happened to us earlier this week (for the first time in 20 years of college visits!), and Frank is bringing the receipts! What started as a frustrating encounter with Baylor’s administration has exposed some troubling questions about what’s really being taught at this “Christian” university. From administrative roadblocks to unbiblical professors and courses, Frank reveals why there’s much more at stake than just a cancelled event. In many ways, Baylor is waging a war on Christianity. You’ll learn: What six obstacles did Baylor’s administration put in the way of Frank’s visit? What similar problems did…

Do you ever have one of those moments when ordinary life suddenly feels like it’s pointing to something more? You can’t quite explain it, but for a split second, this world doesn’t seem like all there is. Could this be a glimpse of something beyond this world, or even a glimpse of God? Pastor, author, and theologian, Dr. Gavin Ortlund, joins Frank to explore that possibility and the ideas behind his brand-new book, ‘Why Christianity Makes Sense: A Book About Jesus, the Mysteries of the World, and the Longings in Your Heart‘. From what Gavin calls the “ache”, to meaning, divine hiddenness, and the historical case for Jesus, this conversation makes the case for engaging both the mind and the heart.

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…

When did “just asking questions” become enough to convict someone in the court of public opinion? This week, Frank takes a closer look at several claims made by Candace Owens surrounding Charlie Kirk’s murder and asks a simple question: What does the evidence actually show? As he responds to listener emails about the alleged discrepancies in his account of the September 10th events and addresses the so-called CPR contradiction, Frank explains why possibilities, coincidences, and speculation should never be confused with proof. This episode will tackle questions like: Why do minor differences between eyewitness accounts often strengthen rather than weaken credibility? What makes evidence different from speculation, suspicion, or “gut feelings”? How does confirmation bias keep people believing weak arguments? How have logical fallacies fueled conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie’s murder?…

Is Neo-Darwinism DEAD?

The answers may surprise you! Joining Frank from the recent SES Steadfast conference is Dr. Casey Luskin, Senior Fellow and Associate Director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute and co-author of ‘The Comprehensive Guide to Science and Faith‘, a collective work that seeks to reconcile the complexities of the universe with the concept of intelligent design.

In an upside down world where lies are well-packaged and truth is constantly suppressed, it’s no wonder that both Christians and non-Christians alike have fallen prey to mass deception. But if the Church is struggling to recognize truth from error, what hope is there for people in the secular world who aren’t being guided by the unfailing Word of God? This week, Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills joins Frank to discuss the inspiration behind his brand-new (and already best-selling) book ‘Living in the Daze of Deception: How to Discern Truth from Culture’s…
