When Propaganda Wears a Habit: Why Apologists Must Guard the Truth

Note: The original version of this article was published on Dr. Orr’s Substack. The present version has been substantially revised and adapted by the author. When Tucker Carlson aired the episode Here’s What It’s Really Like to Live as a Christian in the Holy Land (2025), the optics were powerful. His guest, Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos, appeared cloaked in a black Orthodox veil, her presence suggesting sanctity and authenticity. The fact that she was also the sister of George Stephanopoulos, longtime ABC political commentator, made the segment doubly compelling. The habit and the surname prepared audiences to assume her words carried both religious authority and cultural weight. On the surface, she seemed to speak truth about Christian suffering in the land of Christ’s birth. In reality, what she offered was not…

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Jay Smith, Islam, Mecca, morality, Muhammad, Muslims, philosophy, Podcast, Quran, religion, theology

Angels & Demons, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Islam, morality, Pastor Allen Jackson, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
We see the battle between good and evil throughout the Bible and in the world around us. But do angels and demons influence our lives today and if they do, how do they interact with us? Joining Frank on the program this week is Pastor Allen Jackson from World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, TN. Under his humble yet confident leadership, the church has grown from fewer than 30 people to over 15,000 since 1989. His new book, ‘Angels, Demons & You: Unseen Spiritual Influences in Our Lives‘, provides a biblical perspective on the reality of spiritual forces and how they impact our daily lives. Together, Frank and Allen answer questions like: What happened to Allen’s mom that led to his whole family being born again? How did World Outreach Church…

The Day the Veil Was Torn: An Evangelical’s Awakening in London

Antifada, Antisemitism, Antizionism, Apologetics, Christianity, Gospel, Islam, Islamism, Jihadism, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, London, October 7, Shia, Spiritual Warfare, Tim Orr, Zionism
I spent years studying Shia Islam from within, earning an MA in Islamic Studies from the Islamic College in London. My goal was to understand Islam on its terms, not merely as an outsider, but as a serious student of its theology, history, and lived reality. This academic path wasn’t just about gaining knowledge; it was rooted in a deep desire to build bridges between Christians and Muslims through respectful dialogue. I believed that rigorous study, combined with empathy and grace, could overcome centuries of misunderstanding and mistrust. That belief shaped my posture in interfaith spaces for years. However, on October 7, 2023, I was confronted with a reality that no classroom or textbook had prepared me for. What I encountered in the streets of London that day shook the…

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, CS Lewis, demons, Dr. Frank Turek, Govermment, Islam, military, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Q&A, religion, The Screwtape Letters, theology
Why is propaganda and empty rhetoric so appealing to some people? In this midweek episode, Frank explains how the first of ‘The Screwtape Letters‘ by C.S. Lewis perfectly illustrates the way demons manipulate human beings, now and throughout history. He’ll also explore the recent power struggles between the Trump Administration and the lower district court judge who blocked Trump’s transgender military ban. Frank will answer questions like: Why is using “jargon” instead of evidence-based arguments not good thinking? What specific tactics does C.S. Lewis say demons use to tempt humans and where do we see evidence of this happening in our culture today? Do all people have the right or privilege to serve in the military? Was Trump’s decision to say transgender people are not qualified to serve in the military…

What About the Crusades? Myths and Facts.

Apologetics, Christianity, Church History, Colonization, Crusades, Gospel, historical apologetics, history, https://ischristianitytrue.wordpress.com/, imperialism, Islam, Steve Lee, Theology and Christian Apologetics
Misinformation on the Crusades continues unabated in contemporary society. From former president Obama mentioning it in a prayer breakfast speech, to Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, to Clinton’s 2001 speech at Georegetown University which blames the current increase of Islamic terrorist activity, such as 9/11, as fallout from the Crusades. I wrote a short article for the Apologetics Study Bible for Students over this topic.  Here is a small snippet from that piece.  Following that is a list of resources that are from historical experts on the Crusades that expose many of the myths surrounding the event. Excerpt from the Apologetics Study Bible for Students “Ask any individual about the Crusades and you will probably get an answer like, ‘They were wars of unprovoked aggression by Christians against a peaceful Muslim world which…

Open Borders: What Could Possibly Go Wrong? | with Hedieh Mirahmadi

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Hedieh Miramadi, Islam, Jesus Christ, philosophy, Podcast, Politics, Radio, Spotify, stitcher
How do you express concerns about illegal immigration without sounding like a racist? And is it irrational to be Islamophobic? Speaking out against open border policies can get you canceled, but should that fear outweigh the risks of unvetted, undocumented immigrants flooding into the country? Is the real goal of unchecked immigration to weaken Christianity? If so, can Christians and Conservatives do anything in an attempt to sustain the infrastructure of America before it’s too late? Picking up right where they left off in the last podcast, Frank and Hedieh Mirahmadi continue their discussion about the potential destruction that the West is facing in light of mass immigration and the rise of radical Islam. How could America do a better job of vetting people from Muslim countries? Why is the far…

With the encroaching geopolitical movement of Islam and the influx of immigrants from all over the world through our open borders, what future lies ahead for the West, and where are we when it comes to national security?
