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.

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…

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. Tune in as Frank and Gavin tackle questions like:…

Christians have plenty of truth to share. But why does “Christian entertainment” sometimes struggle to tell a great story? What if the problem isn’t the message, but how we tell it? Frank sits down with producer, cultural commentator, and Daily Wire co-founder, Jeremy Boreing, whose latest project puts those ideas to the test. As the writer and director of the highly successful, ‘The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin‘, Jeremy has seen a 30-year dream become the #1 fantasy series on Amazon Prime Video.
