Today is the day! ‘The War on Reality‘ has officially been released, and Frank and Phoenix are celebrating by turning the spotlight on a question that might ruffle a few feathers: Can Christians fall into the same trap of trying to bend reality to fit what they want to believe? From health, wealth, and prosperity theology, to manifestation and Christian occultism, they examine popular teachings that sound biblical, but fall apart once you put them back into context. You’ll learn: What is the tragic story of Franz Reichelt and what does it teach us about the limits of our words and personal beliefs? Does Proverbs 18:21 (and other related Bible verses) teach that our words have power? What do exegesis and eisegesis have to do with spotting bad theology? Why…

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Frank Turek, Karl Marx, Marxism, morality, philosophy, Phoenix Hayes, Podcast, religion, The War on Reality, theology
We’re told men can have babies, math is racist, abortion is healthcare, castrating children is also healthcare, and disagreement somehow qualifies as hate speech. How did we get here, and what do these seemingly unrelated ideas all have in common? Phoenix Hayes, co-author of ‘The War on Reality‘, joins Frank to unpack one of their favorite chapters from the book (available for immediate download as soon as you pre-order!), and trace the ideas shaping today’s cultural madness back to the man behind the ideology: Karl Marx.

How did Marxism move from economics into race, gender, sexuality, and…

American Founding, Christian Apologetics, Christian faith, Christianity, Divine providence, Dr. Frank Turek, Eric Metaxas, George Washington, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
George Washington is one of the most recognizable names in American history. But before the presidency, the monuments, and the dollar bill, he was a military leader carrying the weight of a revolution that could easily have failed. This week, Eric Metaxas joins Frank to discuss his new book, ‘Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World‘, and why understanding Washington means understanding far more than battlefield strategy. Their conversation traces the faith, character, political philosophy, and providential moments that helped shape the American Revolution and the nation that followed. Frank and Eric tackle questions like: Why is George Washington so central to the story of the American Revolution? Why is Eric’s new book titled ‘Revolution’ and not ‘The American Revolution’? Why does liberty need…

Archaeological Discoveries, Bible Evidence, Biblical Archaeology, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dinesh D’Souza, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, The Stones Cry Out, theology
For centuries, skeptics have argued that parts of the Bible are legend, exaggeration, or history written long after the fact. But what happens when archaeologists start finding the names, places, civilizations, and events recorded in Scripture–do those same skeptics ever change their minds? This week, author, flimmaker, and scholar, Dinesh D’Souza, joins Frank to reveal what sparked his fascination with biblical archaeology and inspired his new book, ‘The Stones Cry Out‘. Together, they trace the archaeological evidence through the biblical timeline, from the world of Abraham and ancient Israel to King David, the New Testament, and discoveries involving people who once existed only on the pages of Scripture. During their conversation, Frank and Dinesh investigate questions like: What first got Dinesh interested in biblical archaeology, and what’s so special about…

AI can write your emails, summarize a book, help with homework, and apparently become your girlfriend. Should Christians be excited, concerned, or maybe a little bit of both? Frank sits down with 17-year-old tech prodigy Nathan, his mom Natasha Crain, and Phoenix Hayes to discuss what AI can do, what it can’t do, and the worldview assumptions hiding beneath the technology that has taken over our lives seemingly overnight.

How should Christians use AI–if at all? What are some…

John 8:36 states, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” So why can the same old sins, fears, habits, and wounds keep dragging us down? Frank joins fellow apologists Allen Parr and Bobby Conway from CIA 2026 in Charlotte, NC for a candid conversation about the battles Christians don’t always like to admit they’re fighting. Drawing from their own struggles and Allen’s new book, Breaking Through, they unpack what sanctification looks like when getting saved happens in a moment, but becoming more like Christ takes a lifetime. They’ll tackle questions like: If Christ sets you free, why can you still feel trapped by the same sins and bad habits? What are “soul chains,” and how can you tell if one has a grip on your life?…

Christian Apologetics, Christian Discernment, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Greg Koukl, Hearing God, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, Stand to Reason, theology, Voice of God
Does the Bible teach that Christians are to listen for God’s voice to guide their decisions? For many people, such an intimacy is central to a personal relationship with God, and the core of a true Christian life. But is it biblical? Greg Koukl, Founder and President of Stand to Reason, joins the program to discuss the popular idea of “hearing from God” and what to do if you feel stuck in the mud because God’s hints and whispers are not as loud as you expected. Using Scripture as his guide, Greg explains: Does the Bible teach God is “trying” to speak to each one of us? Can His efforts be thwarted by inattention, excessive activity, or sin, as some suggest? What does Scripture mean when it says Christians are…
