If you say the wrong thing about race, even innocently, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll be convicted and cancelled in the court of public opinion and maybe even the church. In fact, the election revealed a divide between ethnic groups in the church. So how can we come together as Christians to discuss this controversial issue without losing friendships in the process? This week on the podcast, Frank is joined by two people who are no strangers to difficult conversations when it comes to race and religion, Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, co-founders of The Center for Biblical Unity and co-authors of the brand-new and much anticipated book, ‘Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism.’ Together, Frank, Monique, and Krista tackle the following questions: Why has…

Pastor Responds to Blowback from His “Vote Like Jesus” Sermon with Pastor Josh Howerton

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Jesus, Josh Howerton, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Politics, religion, theology, Trump
Why do people remain shocked that a majority of Christians (and the nation) voted for Donald Trump? How is that voting like Jesus? This week, Frank invites Pastor Josh Howerton of Lakepointe Church in Dallas, TX to talk about Josh’s recent (and somewhat controversial!) political sermon, ‘How to Vote Like Jesus‘. In it, Pastor Josh points out that when the government moves past things like building roads and teaching kids their ABCs, to redefining marriage, promoting transgender ideology in public schools, and reframing infant murder as “reproductive rights”, it should be clear that Christians need to be involved. But with so much confusion going around about “legislating morality” and “the separation of Church and State”, how can Christians (and their pastors) develop a proper theology of politics? In this podcast, Frank asks Pastor Josh…

Don’t think the government will ever take your child? Think again.

Is Neo-Darwinism DEAD?

The answers may surprise you! Joining Frank from the recent SES Steadfast conference is Dr. Casey Luskin, Senior Fellow and Associate Director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute and co-author of ‘The Comprehensive Guide to Science and Faith‘, a collective work that seeks to reconcile the complexities of the universe with the concept of intelligent design.
