What’s going on at Baylor University? After exposing the administrative roadblocks that led to the cancellation of a recent college tour event, Frank returns to address some anticipated objections and dig even deeper into his concerns about the university. 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? Why would a Christian school be tempted to compromise on Christian values? What schools (if any)…

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…

Christian Apologetics, Christian Worldview, Christianity, Christianity vs Communism, D.L. Moody, Dr. Frank Turek, Erwin Lutzer, Karl Marx, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Karl Marx and D.L. Moody were two men with radically different visions for humanity. Both witnessed poverty, injustice, and suffering, but their solutions couldn’t have been more different. So, what can these two 19th-century contemporaries teach us about the battle of worldviews we’re facing today? One of our favorite guests, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, joins Frank to explore that question through his new book, Marx and Moody, co-authored with Dr. Gregg Quiggle. From Marx’s troubled home life and calls for revolution to Moody’s work among the poor and passion for the Gospel, their stories reveal just how differently these two men believed society could be changed. Along the way, they’ll tackle questions like: What was Karl Marx’s personal life like, and how did it compare to the society he envisioned? What’s…
