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?

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.

3 More BIG Questions: Fine-tuning? Feeling God? Inerrancy?

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Christmas, Dr. Frank Turek, Feelings, fine-tuning, God, gospels, Heaven, Hell, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Q&A, religion, Skeptic, theology
Does the scientific evidence fall short of proving the fine-tuning of the universe? Should Christians regularly “feel God’s presence”? And since there are minor differences in the Gospels, does that disprove biblical inerrancy? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank tackles three more BIG questions from our listening audience along with questions like: What are the 3 levels of fine-tuning and does it only occur here on planet Earth? Can the fine-tuning argument alone actually prove Christianity is true? And can all truth be explained through science? Where exactly are Heaven and Hell? What’s the true meaning of Christmas? Is loving God an emotion, a feeling, or a decision? If God chooses not to reveal Himself to us is that proof that He doesn’t exist? What’s a great question to ask…

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Cosmological Argument, cosmos, Dr Guillermo Gonzalez, Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Jay Richards, God, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, solar eclipses, The Privileged Planet, theology
The fine-tuning of the universe is one of the most compelling arguments for Intelligent Design—so compelling that even atheists like Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens have acknowledged its challenge to materialistic explanations. Why is the fine-tuning argument so extraordinary, and how have recent scientific discoveries made it even clearer that the universe points to a divine Creator? This week, Dr. Jay Richards joins Frank to discuss the 20th anniversary edition of ‘The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos Is Designed for Discovery‘, the groundbreaking book he co-authored with Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez. Together, they explore the updated book and the remarkable new scientific discoveries that continue to affirm its hypothesis. During their conversation, they’ll address: How did Guillermo’s career suffer when the book was first released in…

Bible, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, God, Hell, Homosexuality, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Q&A, religion, theology
How do you convince non-Christians that homosexuality is wrong without using the Bible? Does human flourishing replace the need for God and the moral argument? And why does God create people that He knows will end up in Hell?  In this week’s solo podcast episode, Frank tackles three BIG questions that were recently sent in from our listening audience. During this discussion, Frank shares some practical advice on how to address these sensitive topics along with questions like: Should Christians be concerned about what people do privately?

Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS Should Christians get involved with politics, or should we just stay out of the way because “religion and politics don’t mix”? While some Christians have the tendency to idolize political influence, others have gone to the opposite end of the spectrum, choosing to completely shy away from engaging in public policy altogether. What does the Bible and common sense have to say about this? This week Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council who has worked with congress and presidents for decades, joins Frank to talk about the need for Christians to take politics seriously and use it as a means to advance the Gospel by protecting religious freedom…
