Shepherds for Sale | with Megan Basham

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Megan Basham, Podcast, Politics, Radio, Spotify, stitcher
Could your favorite celebrity pastor or even your church’s leadership be compromising the truth in exchange for cultural approval (and a BIG paycheck)? Many prominent evangelical leaders have become more and more outspoken in questioning the Bible’s clear teachings on political issues like natural marriage and life in the womb, leading to confusion and concern about their underlying motives. Are these pastors and leaders genuinely well-meaning, misled and misguided, or are they progressively embracing the “woke” agenda for money and power? This week Frank invites Daily Wire journalist, Megan Basham, on the podcast to discuss her new book ‘Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda‘, which investigates how leftist billionaires have convinced some of today’s pastors and Christian leaders to stray from the Word of…

Why Didn’t God Create a Universe Where Everyone Believed?

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Calvinism, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Radio, Romans, Spotify, stitcher
Is faith in God a personal choice, or is it something that God forces on people against their will? Misinterpretations of Romans 9 have led many Calvinists to read this narrative into the Scriptures, but what are they missing and what does the context of Romans 9 actually reveal about its intended meaning? For this midweek podcast, Frank revisits the discussion surrounding the issues of election and the sovereignty of God. Can you have love without free will? Did God only die for some people? Does God allow us to make some choices but not others? Is there anything that God can’t do? And what are some of the bad theological and moral implications of five point Calvinism? All this and more will be discussed in this eye-opening midweek podcast episode. To view the…

What Does Romans 9 REALLY Mean?

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Radio, Romans, Spotify, stitcher
If God is sovereign like the Bible says, then how can human beings have free will? Those who subscribe to certain sects of Calvinism might say that humans can’t possibly have free will because God does all the choosing. But is that what Paul was really getting at when he penned the book of Romans? This week’s podcast episode dives into a listener’s burning question about the context of Romans 9 and the doctrine of election. Does the Bible REALLY teach that God chooses some people for salvation and others for Hell? Does God harden hearts against our free will? Tune in as Frank tackles these questions and many more, including: What questions should you ask when reading the Bible? Did God really hate Esau? And does He hate people today? What kind of Election is Romans…

End the Stalemate | with Dr. Sean McDowell

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Politics, Radio, Sean McDowell, Spotify, stitcher
When was the last time you had a REAL and MEANINGFUL conversation with someone who disagreed with your Christian worldview? We live in a divisive culture that has led to nearly a third of people reporting they have stopped talking to a friend or family member due to a disagreement. Many Christians no longer feel safe to share their opinions for fear or being bullied or cancelled by friends, family, and co-workers. Is staying silent really the answer, or is there a better way to speak the truth in love as God’s ambassadors? This week, Frank sits down with our good friend, Dr. Sean McDowell—author, Christian apologist, and one of YouTube’s best at interviewing people from opposite ends of the spectrum. They’ll dive into his new book (co-authored with Tim Muehlhoff), ‘End the…

Does the Bible promise prosperity to those who bless and support Israel? In the wake of the October 7th attacks on Israel by the Hamas terrorist group, antisemitism in the West is shockingly at an all-time high. What’s driving this sudden surge in antisemitism, and what can we glean from the Old Testament scriptures in relation to God’s covenant with Abraham and how it applies to the modern state of Israel today? This week on the podcast, Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, joins Frank to discuss his latest book, ‘Should Christians Support Israel?: Seeking a Biblical Worldview in an Impossible Situation.’ Tune in as Jeff breaks down the basics of the Israel-Palestine conflict, sharing insights from his recent trip to Israel.

63+ Million Reasons to Join The White Rose Resistance | with Seth Gruber

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Politics, Radio, Seth Gruber, Spotify, stitcher
Does today’s culture value human life in the same way that our Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, did when he penned the Declaration of Independence? According to statistics compiled by the National Right to Life organization, there have been approximately 63+ million abortions performed in the United States since 1973. While there’s no doubt that Jefferson was fully committed to the concept of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens, many Americans today have been deceived into believing that the right to life only applies to life outside the womb. But if the unborn don’t truly hold these inalienable rights as described in our founding documents, does anyone else? Last month, pro-life speaker Seth Gruber joined Frank to talk about his brand-new book (and documentary of the same name), ‘The 1916 Project: The…

What would you do if you learned that your child’s school had been plotting an elaborate scheme to legally abduct your child, cutting off all communication from you and forcing them into a state-run facility because they view you as the enemy? Could we really be living in an America where teachers introduce vulnerable students to drugs and pornography, implanting transgender ideology into their minds, all the while deliberately hiding it from their parents? Believe it or not, these horror stories are happening all over the country, even in America’s most conservative states! But what can you do to protect your children? This week, Frank sits down with Laura Bryant Hanford, an advocate for human rights, religious freedom and school policy, a contributing writer to The Federalist, and a graduate of Princeton University.…

Jacob, Joseph, and Jesus: EVEN MORE “Third Day” References in the Old Testament | with Dr. Chip Bennett

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Chip Bennett, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Podcast, Radio, Spotify, stitcher
Is the whole of Scripture just a disorganized collection of conflicting documents? Some scholars think so, claiming it to be a battleground for historical contradictions. But what if it’s actually a carefully orchestrated thread, woven together and preserved by the Divine Author Himself? Just a few episodes ago, Dr. Chip Bennett wowed listeners with his insights into the resurrection themes and third day narratives from the Old Testament. For this midweek podcast episode, Chip returns to dive even deeper into the Hebrew Bible and to uncover how the Messianic prophecies are intertwined with the tales of patriarchs like Jacob, Joseph, Joshua, and Judah. How do some of our daily routines point to the resurrection? Can the story of Cinderella shed light on the Gospel? How does the third day relate to life and death motifs? All these questions and more will be answered in…
