Is the Bible just a collection of ancient myths and fairy tales? Or did the people named on these ancient pages really walk the earth? Archaeologist and author Dr. Titus Kennedy returns to show us that history isn't just written in books. It?s buried in the dirt!

Listen (or watch!) closely as Frank and Titus investigate the "receipts" left behind by kings, queens, and commoners that demonstrate the Bible is documenting REAL history, not just parables. With Titus' new book 'Archaeology and the People of the Bible' as their guide, they tackle questions like:

Who was Tiglath-Pileser III, and what does he teach us about interpreting the Bible correctly?How do the writings of Josephus and ancient Ugaritic epics validate the biblical text?What seals have been found with obscure Old Testament figures stamped on them?What Old Testament discovery forced some archaeologists out of their skepticism of the Bible's historicity?What extra-biblical evidence exists for the notorious King Herod?Why is Capernaum considered one of the most fascinating sites in all of archaeology?Why did some ancient critics think Jesus was a magician?What was so terrifying about the Assyrians that made Jonah run the other way?Is it possible that the next big discovery is sitting dormant in the basement of the British Museum?Who was Salome, and what's her connection to the New Testament?What archaeological evidence do we have for the existence of the Apostle Peter and Jesus?

Archaeological discoveries continue to provide ancient attestation for those named in the Bible, showing the historical reality of their existence. While Frank and Titus can't cover all 124 figures from the book in one hour, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the evidence most people never get to see. To dive deeper into these discoveries and the people who left them behind, be sure to grab your copy of 'Archaeology and the People of the Bible' today!

Hollywood is built on the promise of fame, money, and influence. But if that?s the "dream," why does the glitz and glamour leave so many icons feeling hopeless and empty inside?

You?ve seen Rob Schneider on SNL and in box-office hits like 50 First Dates, but you've never seen him like this. From his journey to faith, to his front-row seat to the "cancel culture" wars, Rob is pulling back the curtain on what it?s like to be a Christian in an industry that?s increasingly hostile to the Gospel. You?re going to laugh (it's Rob Schneider, after all!), but you?ll also be challenged to think deeply about the cultural moment we?re living in right now. Together, Frank and Rob answer questions like:

How did Rob get started in comedy and who was his biggest inspiration?How did he become a Christian?Is using foul language forgivable?What are some of the psychological challenges of being a comedian?How does comedy help people understand truth better than a straightforward lecture?What happens in Hollywood when you become a Christian and come out as a conservative?Why does fame and fortune often fail to deliver actual fulfillment?How have brave voices like Charlie Kirk, Peter Boghossian, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali inspired Rob to speak up?Why is Rob such a history buff and what are his thoughts on the current war in Iran?What does progressivism REALLY mean?What surprising project is Rob working on right now?What unexpected event happened at the 50th anniversary of SNL?

In addition to his comedy tour, Rob is the author of 'You Can Do It! Speak Your Mind America'. Stay tuned for a special LIVE event with Frank and Rob coming up next month near Charlotte, NC on MON. 4/27 at 7:30 PM ET!

Can a logical person REALLY believe in miracles? Frank responds to a challenge from our skeptic friend, Mike, while tackling the big question: Do miracles contradict science and the laws of logic? From science and history to philosophy and faith, we'll explore what God's nature reveals about the probability of divine intervention. Tune in as Frank answers questions like:

Is it reasonable to believe in macroevolution?What is the acronym L.I.F.E.?Who else besides Christians question the theory of macroevolution?Why must miracles be rare to be meaningful?What are four ways Jesus demonstrates His divinity?How many miracles do we find in the Bible?In what three time periods do we see the most miracles in the Bible and why?Does God have limitations--or is He truly all-powerful?What's the difference between overpowering and violating the laws of physics?How did Jesus become the central figure of the human race?

During the end of the podcast, Frank also addresses concerns regarding the last podcast episode and Josh Howerton's "proof of a propaganda war". Did Josh only get it "half right"? If you?ve ever wondered whether miracles are reasonable, this conversation will pinpoint why faith in God actually makes sense!

How do you make the case for Christianity? It seems that the burden of proof always falls on Christians, but there are certain aspects of reality that need to be explained regardless of your worldview (even atheism!). The question remains, which worldview fits the story of reality better than the others?

In this evergreen podcast episode, Frank breaks down 10 aspects of reality that support the Christian worldview by answering questions like:

What is the cosmological argument?How is the universe fine-tuned at three different levels?Why is atheism, not Christianity, at odds with science?Where do the laws of logic come from?Why doesn?t science say anything?Where does objective morality come from?How did Jesus Christ become the most influential person in human history?Why is it essential to not make hasty generalizations about a whole group or worldview from single incidents?What proof is there that you are in a propaganda war right now?

In the last part of the program, Frank explains why you can?t make firm conclusions about entire groups with insufficient data, which is especially true about short videos we see online (like ICE arrests). Don?t let propaganda poison your perspective! For more information on how to think clearly and logically be sure to check out the resources below!

It's been over a decade since the 2015 Obergefell ruling that mandated same-sex marriage on every state and the stats are in. Has redefining marriage strengthened families, or has it quietly harmed the most vulnerable among us? 

Frank sits down with Katy Faust, founder and president of Them Before Us, to confront the real-world consequences of so-called ?gay marriage,? and introduce the brand-new 'Greater Than' movement?a bold effort to return to the natural law and biblical definition of marriage on behalf of children. During their conversation, Frank and Katy answer questions like:

What personal experiences growing up make Katy uniquely qualified to talk about this topic?Why was marriage and family such an important issue to Charlie Kirk?What are the 3 institutions that God created and how are they related?Why does the government care about marriage?Who is statistically the most dangerous person in a child?s life?What is the ?Cinderella Effect??Why does Frank believe the term ?gay marriage? doesn?t address the real issue?Are all family structures equally beneficial for children?Why are the biological distinctions between mothers and fathers so important to children?What does the data show about biological parents vs. non-biological caregivers?What are the 3 main goals of the 'Greater Than' movement and how can you help?

In today?s society, children are often treated like trophies?spoken for, negotiated over, or reshaped to serve adult priorities. 'Greater Than' works from a different premise: children?s rights should not be overridden by adult feelings or desires.

Correct, Not Politically Correct by Frank Turek - https://bit.ly/3qws2ZL

As Christians, we all believe that Hell is real. But what is the exact nature of God's eternal punishment? Is Hell eternal conscious torment, or will it ultimately come to an end? This week, Kirk Cameron joins Frank to unpack the controversy that led him to host, 'Hellgate: The Christian Debate We're Afraid to Have', a roundtable discussion featuring biblical scholars Paul Copan, Chris Date, Gavin Ortlund, and Dan Paterson, examining what Scripture actually teaches about eternal punishment, conditionalism, and the justice of God. Frank and Kirk will tackle questions like:

What caused Kirk to reconsider the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment?How did some prominent Christian leaders react to his comments?What is conditionalism (annihilationism) and how does it compare to the traditional view of Hell?What did the early church fathers believe about Hell?Does conditionalism undermine the Gospel?Is God unjust if he punishes people for all eternity in Hell?Is eternal punishment overkill for temporal sins?Do passages like Matthew 25:46 and Revelation 14 & 20 rule out annihilationism?Is conditionalism heretical or a legitimate orthodox disagreement?How should Christians debate difficult doctrines without fracturing unity within the Church?Has Kirk's position on Hell changed since the roundtable discussion?

For more information on this important topic, be sure to watch the full 'Hellgate' discussion on Kirk?s YouTube channel. Not only is it a deep and thoughtful theological discussion, it's a great example of humility and graciousness on display among Christian brothers who sharply disagree with each other.

We hear that technology will set us free and that identity is whatever we choose. What we?re not being told is how these promises unravel reality itself, leaving us restless and confused in a world where we can no longer tell what is true. Embrace the Truth president Abdu Murray returns to the program to continue the discussion about his brand-new book, 'Fake ID', and share practical tips for how we can navigate today's two cultural tsanamis of artificial intelligence and identity ideology. Together, Frank and Abdu answer questions like:

What does it mean to say that humans are made in the image of God?Why does humanity collapse when objective truth goes away?Why does increased digital connection make us feel more lonely and depressed?What shocking story did no one talk about in mainstream media and how is it another example of collapsing reality?Should we embrace our "authentic self"?What are some practical tips and tools we can use to navigate the culture we're in right now?Why is the distinction between epistemology and ontology so important?What is the ultimate solution to all of this cultural confusion and chaos?What was the providential encounter that Abdu recently experienced at MIT?

Reality doesn't go away just because you stop believing in it! And the reality is, our identity is found in the truth of Jesus Christ and Him alone. You're not just made in His image, but you can actually become a child of God by trusting in Jesus. The truth will set you free! Continue to pray that others may be released by the bondage of today's cultural lies.

Author, apologist, and founder of Embrace the Truth, Abdu Murray, joins Frank to introduce his brilliant new book, 'Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality--and What To Do About It', that confronts the growing confusion around AI, identity ideology, and truth.

Why is the biblical (and common sense) purpose of the government to punish wrongdoers being reversed in Minnesota? Federal agents are being blocked from arresting criminals, local officials are shielding criminals from accountability while sweeping massive amounts of fraud under the rug, and anti-ICE agitators are disrupting worship services without any local police response? Who is in the right, legally? 

Political journalist Megyn Kelly joins the program to expose the legal reality behind the radical activism happening in Minnesota and the growing conflict between the feds and the state. Drawing on her experience as a lawyer, Megyn explains clearly and concisely why sanctuary cities are defying federal authority, and why Americans (especially Christians) can no longer afford to stay silent as Islam quietly gains ground in the West.

Together, Frank and Megyn will answer questions like:

Why did Megyn become a lawyer and how did she make the shift into political journalism?Does freedom of speech give us the right to protest and disrupt a worship service?What is the FACE Act of 1994?What's the connection between BLM and the church agitators in Minnesota?What will happen to Tim Walz, Jacob Fry, and Don Lemon?Why does ICE face resistance in blue states but not red states?How are sanctuary cities complicating ICE's ability to enforce immigration laws?What is the ultimate endgame of woke activism, according to Megyn?Who has jurisdiction over immigration, the federal or state government?Why is Islamophobia a bogus term?Why should Americans take note of what's happening in the UK?

Winston Churchill once said, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on." If you're feeling overwhelmed after reading through the latest news headlines and need clear and concise explanations of what the law says about today's most complicated cultural issues, this is the episode for you!

How in the world could a Christian and an atheist have a civil conversation about the current political climate in the West? It's easier than you think! As free speech collapses across Europe and ideological enforcement tightens its grip on the U.S., many are asking, are we truly "free" anymore?

This week, Frank is joined by philosopher Dr. Peter Boghossian, author of 'A Manual for Creating Atheists', fresh off their surprise appearance together at the chaotic TPUSA event at UC Berkeley. Together, they examine why civil dialogue is breaking down, why Islam presents a unique challenge to Western civilization, and why the modern left seems incapable of self-correction. In this episode, Frank and Peter tackle questions like:

Why did Peter leave his position at Portland State University?Why was Peter invited to the TPUSA event at UC Berkeley?Why has the radical left "gone to crazy town" and seems unable to engage in meaningful dialogue?Why do people who can't form arguments call reason "oppression" and switch to bigotry and discrimination?Why is it so important to have open dialogue with people who may disagree with you?Why does Peter think Islamic immigration is an important topic that needs to be discussed?What work did Peter do with prison inmates and what dangerous mission is he planning next?Why does Peter care about freedom of religion even though he's an atheist?Why does a free society require free speech to survive?Why doesn't Peter publicize his events?Why do facts often fail to change people's minds?Why does Peter call himself a "cultural Christian" even though he's atheist?

In a world where people are starving for civil discourse, this light-hearted conversation between Frank and Peter is a breath of fresh air! Be sure to catch the next episode as their conversation continues on cancel culture, free speech, and how to ground objective morality.

Are Christian views on marriage and sexuality really ?outdated,? or has culture slowly talked us into treating clear biblical teaching as a harmless disagreement? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank and Dr. Robert Gagnon continue their discussion by examining what the Bible actually teaches about homosexuality and why sexual ethics sit at the core of Christian morality. Tune in as they answer questions like:

When Jesus showed compassion to tax collectors and sexual sinners was he affirming their sins?What was God's primary purpose for food laws in the Old Testament?Was homosexuality ever an ?agree to disagree? issue for Jesus or the Apostle Paul?Why does Paul specifically single out homosexuality instead of other sexual sins in Romans 1?What are the three "new knowledge" questions?What's the underlying problem most people don't realize when it comes to long-term and monogamous same-sex relationships?What about the objection that the word 'homosexuality' wasn't invented until 1946?Should Christians attend same-sex weddings? And how can you refuse without losing relationships?

This episode challenges believers to examine who their true authority is and whether love, as Jesus defined it, still guides their convictions. Frank and Dr. Gagnon will also equip listeners with how to respond to today's most common arguments and scriptures that are being misused to justify homosexuality and how to defend the true biblical position on marriage and sexual immorality. For a deeper dive, check out Dr. Gagnon?s flagship book, 'The Bible and Homosexual Practice'.

Can a biblical case be made to justify the practice of homosexuality? Does science support the narrative that people are "born gay"? And what did Jesus really teach about sexual ethics in light of the Old Testament? In this powerful episode, Frank is joined by Dr. Robert Gagnon, arguably the world?s leading scholarly authority on the topic, to tackle one of the most divisive moral issues of our time. Drawing from Dr. Gagnon?s landmark book, 'The Bible and Homosexual Practice', widely regarded as the standard work on the subject for over 25 years, they examine what Scripture and science reveal about the issue of homosexuality. Tune in as they answer questions like:

What was the initial response to Robert's book?How does the Bible define love?What's wrong with "loving" someone of the same sex?What factors influence the likelihood that someone could be attracted to the same sex?If homosexual practices are off limits because of Leviticus 18 what about eating shrimp?What did Jesus say about Old Testament teachings on marriage, divorce, and sex?Does loving someone require affirming all of their desires or behaviors?How do same-sex unions compare to traditional marriage in terms of measurable harm and human flourishing?Why does affirming homosexuality logically open the door to redefining all sexual morality?Why was polygamy sometimes permitted in the Old Testament and is it still ok today?

This episode kicks off the new year with a topic that many Christians avoid, but one we can?t afford to ignore as biblical morality continues to be challenged in the public square and the church. Don?t miss the next episode where Frank and Dr. Gagnon continue unpacking the cultural and theological consequences of redefining God?s design for sexuality.

Do you have locks on your doors? What about a fence so your kids can play safely in the yard? The truth is, everyone believes in secure borders and as long as human nature is bent towards evil, borders will be necessary.

This week, Frank picks up where he left off from the last episode as he explains what the Bible really says about immigration, borders, and deportations while answering questions like:

What are the important distinctions between legal and illegal immigration?How does stopping illegal immigration protect innocent people from evil?What happens when a country becomes too "soft" on enforcing its laws?What?s the difference between imposing religion vs. imposing morality?What is the #1 purpose of government?Isn't it compassionate to have open borders?How can America help the most people both inside and outside our borders?

The best way to protect America and help people outside of our country is to control immigration at a sustainable level while exporting our ideas of economic and political liberty to other nations. We can?t bring everyone to America, but we should try to bring America to everyone.

Immigration is one of the most emotionally charged issues of our time, but what does the Bible really say about borders and deportations? Are borders unbiblical, or do they play a necessary role in human flourishing? And can governments enforce laws without violating Jesus? teachings? In this episode, Frank goes straight to Scripture to discuss one of today?s most heated cultural debates, exposing how key Bible passages are often taken out of context to support mass immigration narratives that the text itself does not teach.

Tune in as Frank lays out why the Bible consistently affirms borders and answers questions like:

Was Jesus an illegal immigrant?What are four simple rules for interpreting the Bible correctly?Why do people confuse biblical commands to individuals with commands to governments?How can misplaced empathy? Toxic Empathy? lead to unintended negative consequences?What role does the government play according to Romans 13?Why are borders necessary for civilization to function?Is religion the cause of most wars?Does biblical love mean unconditional approval?What are Augustine's order of loves and how do they help stabilize society?Why are global governments so dangerous?

If you?ve ever felt confused by how Scripture is used in the immigration debate, this episode is for you! Tune in as Frank explains why borders and justice aren?t opposed to compassion, but work together when Scripture is understood correctly. And because all ten biblical reasons for borders can?t possibly fit into one program, this conversation sets the stage for a follow-up episode you won?t want to miss!

What happens to a society when trust in law enforcement collapses? Can a culture survive when those sworn to protect it are constantly vilified? In the aftermath of George Floyd?s death and the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, skepticism and cynicism toward law enforcement has surged, reshaping public trust and public safety. Former cold-case homicide detective, J. Warner Wallace, joins Frank to examine how we arrived at this moment and what?s at stake if the trend continues. Together, Frank and Jim answer questions like:

What is the primary role of government according to God?Why is local law enforcement considered the #1 essential service of any functional society?How does public skepticism and cynicism toward law enforcement directly impact crime and safety?Why is it so important for police officers to proactively suppress crime?How do first responders reflect God?s nature and design for authority?Why is it better for local agencies to handle local crimes?Are "viral" police encounters distorting reality?What is the observer effect and what does it have to do with "the weirdest claim of all Christianity"?Why does law enforcement attract so much criticism compared to other professions?Why do so many police officers face difficulty in marriage and what's the solution?

Drawing from real-world experience, Jim exposes the cultural forces undermining police authority and explains why a biblical worldview is essential for justice, accountability, and social stability. As Christians, let's lead the way in Gospel-centered engagement with those in uniform. Do you love your freedom? Thank a police officer!

How are once-trusted, conservative Christian institutions like World Relief, Biola University, and Baylor drifting into wokism? This week, Daily Wire journalist, Megan Basham joins Frank to discuss new stories that have come to light since the publication of her bestselling book, 'Shepherds for Sale', and uncovers the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways Christian institutions are being infiltrated by secular ideology. Together, Frank and Megan tackle questions like:

What ?dirty little secret? do most people don't know about many religious NGOs (non-government organizations) that work with immigration, like World Relief?Why did World Relief condemn the Trump Administration for ordering further vetting of Afghan refugees and what happened the very next day?What does the Bible say about legal and illegal immigrants?Was Jesus a refugee?Is Biola University going woke? And why did Charlie Kirk publicly raise the alarm?What is 'Side B Theology', who are its proponents, and how does it lure believers toward sexual immorality?Why does Everett Piper believe that Christian students are better off going to secular universities?Why are some Christian schools blocking TPUSA chapters?

When Christian institutions trade truth for trends, the Church must be vigilant, vocal, and ready to demand accountability. The goal isn't destruction, but restoration of the faithful institutions they've been in the past. As Proverbs 27:6 states: 'Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.' Be sure to grab your copy of 'Shepherds for Sale' if you haven't already, and stick around for the end of the program to hear what surprising project Megan is working on next!

And why did Charlie Kirk publicly raise the alarm?What is 'Side B Theology', who are its proponents, and how does it lure believers toward sexual immorality?Why does Everett Piper believe that Christian students are better off going to secular universities?Why are some Christian schools blocking TPUSA chapters?

When Christian institutions trade truth for trends, the Church must be vigilant, vocal, and ready to demand accountability. The goal isn't destruction, but restoration of the faithful institutions they've been in the past. As Proverbs 27:6 states: 'Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.'

What happens when adults chase after their selfish desires and who ends up suffering the most? This week, child-rights activist Katy Faust joins the program to expose the biggest threat to America?s children and why the ?modern family? ideal is a secular myth that's destroying families and inevitably harming future generations.

Katy is the Founder and President of Them Before Us, a global movement defending children?s right to their mother and father. She publishes, speaks and testifies widely on why marriage and family are matters of justice for children. Together, Frank and Katy tackle tough and controversial questions like:

How did Katy?s own personal experience propel her into the role of child-rights activist?What is the #1 thing that children tell Katy they need and care about more than anything else?What single behavior lies at the center of nearly every major social crisis in America today?Why can?t money or government programs solve this problem?How does Katy navigate the relationship with her mother and lesbian partner?Why is Katy still living in Seattle where "emotions run high and logic runs low"?What's the #1 lie we've been told about child development?How does same-sex marriage harm innocent children?What makes divorce more devastating than death for so many kids?What advice does Katy have for couples who may be struggling in their marriage?

This episode is an urgent call to action for all parents to reclaim their role as protectors, disciplers, and truth-tellers, to stop letting feelings override Scripture, and to fight for what?s best for their kids, even when it's difficult. Who gets the final say in your family?God or your personal desires? Choose wisely, because your children's future depends on it. And stay tuned for a follow-up episode with Katy, coming soon!

How does a former militant atheist and horror filmmaker end up creating a documentary that raises the bar for Christian apologetics films for the foreseeable future? After giving a brief update on the latest Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories, Frank sits down with filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis, whose transformation from hardened skeptic to Christian apologist is as unexpected as it is compelling.

Michael's new film, 'Universe Designed', premieres on SAT. 12/13 and blends cinematic storytelling with scientific and historical evidence for Christianity, offering skeptics an invitation to investigate Christianity for themselves while also giving believers a fresh tool for evangelism by exposing them to resources that most Christians aren't even aware of. Together they answer questions like:

What finally broke through Michael?s skepticism and led him to place his faith in Christ?Which objections kept him from believing and how did he overcome those objections?What compelled him to move from horror films to apologetics-focused documentaries?Why do many Christian films fail to persuade skeptics, and how does 'Universe Designed' avoid those pitfalls?How can scientific and historical evidence reshape the way Christians share their faith?What top Christian apologists make an appearance in the film?Why is relying solely on personal testimonies sometimes ineffective in reaching non-Christians?Do people really go to Hell simply for not believing in Jesus?

Condensing more than 36 hours of expert interviews into a focused 90-minute feature, 'Universe Designed' presents a scientific, philosophical, and historical case for Christianity unlike most films in the genre. Available on Amazon Prime and other major streaming platforms, this innovative, self-funded $150K project showcases the kind of thoughtful, high-quality filmmaking many Christians have been waiting for!

What if an AI platform invented a heinous criminal history about you and what if those lies threatened to destroy your career, your safety, and your family? That nightmare became a reality for today's guest, filmmaker and conservative activist, Robby Starbuck. Now, Robby is taking Google head-on in a lawsuit that could redefine how AI is allowed to operate now and in the future.

Tune in as Frank and Robby dive into Robby's gripping story, his relentless battle against DEI and woke policies in the corporate workplace, and his groundbreaking documentary film, The War on Children, which has now been watched by over 60 million people. Together, they answer questions like:

When did Robby first discover the fabricated AI charges, and what was Google?s response?How does AI generate false criminal records, court records, and fake news articles?What are AI "hallucinations??How did Robby's family from Cuba inspire him to fight for Christian values in the United States?How did Robby go from being a movie director to convincing major corporations like Walmart, Target, Tractor Supply, Toyota, AT&T, Harley Davidson, Cracker Barrel, and many others to recant their DEI policies?How has his stand against DEI and leftist policies cost him opportunities in Hollywood?Why did Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. promote his documentary film to millions of viewers when TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube blocked him from advertising?What other surprising ways has Bobby used his Hollywood movie-making skills to make a positive impact?

In a world of constant tragedy and heartache, where is hope? Frank sits down with Pastor Greg Laurie, one of today?s most recognizable voices in evangelism and the driving force behind Harvest Crusades, large-scale evangelistic events which have led millions to Christ since 1990.

And pray for thousands of hearts to accept the saving grace of Jesus Christ during the Harvest Crusade this Sunday (11/16) at Utah Valley University. Jesus is coming soon and the devil knows his days are numbered. In the meantime, he continues to wreak havoc on the world. But fear will never silence the Gospel.

What happened last night at UC Berkeley? Frank gives a report from the road followed by listener Q&A about Jesus being the Messiah.

If Jesus is really the Messiah, why isn't there peace on earth? And if He conquered death the first time, why does He need to come again? In this midweek episode, Frank responds to a heartfelt question from a secular Jewish listener living in New York City who is seeking the truth about Jesus. Along the way, he unpacks powerful Messianic prophecies and answers questions like:

How do we know the disciples didn't alter any of Jesus' teachings after His death?What evidence suggests that early Judaism (prior to Christ) believed in two Messiahs (or two "comings")?What makes Zechariah 9 and Isaiah 53 such clear predictions of Jesus? first coming?Where else do we see Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament?Why is understanding Old Testament prophecies crucial for grasping the Christian faith?Where do we find evidence of Jesus' second coming and His claims as the Messiah in the New Testament?What's the significance of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD?Why didn?t Jesus bring peace to the world the first time He came?

Later in the program, Frank also answers:

Why is "missionary dating" so risky?Is religion just a matter of preference, like picking your favorite ice cream flavor?What?s going on with all these Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories?

If you're looking for practical ways to engage both Jews and skeptics with the truth of Jesus as the ONE and ONLY Messiah, this episode is for you!

Why are Frank and other close friends of Charlie Kirk getting threatening messages and phone calls? In the wake of the tragedy that occurred almost eight weeks ago, Frank sits down with Babylon Bee CEO, Seth Dillon, to unpack how speculation, misinformation, and social media outrage are fueling fear and false accusations that are putting innocent people in harm's way.

What did Jesus mean when He said the Old Testament was all about Him? Could figures like Moses, Joshua, and Joseph actually point directly to Him? Once you see how the Bible connects from Genesis to Revelation, you?ll realize it could only have been inspired by a Divine Author.

Frank explains how God?s plan for redemption was woven into the very fabric of Scripture long before Jesus walked the earth as he answers questions like:

What are the three main arguments for the existence of God?What is typology and how does it demonstrate the divine nature of the Bible?What?s the difference between a theophany and a typology?How can biblical interpretation be divided into three levels?What two ways did Jesus and the apostles interpret the Bible?How do Joseph, Moses, and Joshua each prefigure Christ?How can the Bible's core message be explained in three sentences?What does archaeology reveal about the events in the Book of Joshua?

If the Bible isn?t true, there?s no reason to follow Jesus. But if it is, that changes everything. You?ll see why the Bible bears unmistakable marks of divine authorship?and why the evidence leaves little doubt that Jesus truly is the fulfillment of Scripture.

Aristotle said, "Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others." But what does it REALLY mean to have courage?

Frank sits down with author and speaker, Heidi St. John, to discuss how to overcome fear in a world full of hostility towards biblical Christianity. From surviving childhood abuse, cancer, and severe anxiety to homeschooling her seven children and even running for Congress, Heidi has learned firsthand how God uses trials to deepen our faith and push us outside our comfort zones. Together, Frank and Heidi unpack what real courage looks like, why Christians need it now more than ever, and how to instill it in others (especially our kids!).

They tackle questions like:

Why is courage the foundation for living out our Christian faith?Is courage simply the absence of fear?What's the best way Christian parents can model courage for their children?What does it mean to "fear" the LORD?How did Heidi go from panic to public speaking?Why is Gen Z experiencing revival right now?Why does God allow us to face fear, pain, and suffering?How does the Bible help us develop a theology of suffering?What surprising conversation did Heidi have with Donald Trump?Why should Christian families swap Scholastic for BRAVE Books?

If you?re struggling with fear or wondering how to raise bold kids in a world full of compromise, this episode will encourage you to trust God, take courage, and stand firm in the truth!
