You see, things like biological systems, specified complexity, and probabilistic hurdles leave no reasonable explanation for life as we know it without a creator. But are atheists and skeptics willing and able to address these hurdles without attributing them to so-called “chance”?

What is the eternal message of hope that we are privileged to have here in the United States (and other parts of the West) that many people around the world don’t have? It is the Gospel–the saving grace of Jesus Christ. And it was Jesus Himself who told us to go and make disciples of ALL NATIONS. But with only about 20% of the world speaking English (that’s only 1 out of 5 people), how can we reach the other 80% with not only the Gospel, but also with the evidence for Christianity?

Practically speaking, the idea of a massive flood, a giant ark, a rainbow covenant, and the preservation of animals through the care of one small family on an ancient ship sounds outlandish at best. But are there legitimate answers to some of the most common objections raised by skeptics in regards to this well-known Bible story?

That's precisely what the woke media outlets want you to think, often accusing Christians of trying to violate the “separation of church and state". They also accuse Christians of trying to legislate morality. But if Christians and conservatives don't have the "right" to legislate morality, who does?
House Speaker, Mike Johnson, was recently accused of being a theocrat in an article published by The Guardian titled 'Mike Johnson, Theocrat: The House Speaker and a Plot Against America.'

The world watched in horror as the terrorist organization, Hamas, carried out the brutal attacks against innocent and defenseless Israeli citizens this past weekend, mercilessly slaughtering entire families, raping women, and dismembering young infants and children. Can these heinous crimes that we've witnessed offer any insight as to why God ordered the "utter destruction" of the enemies of Old Testament Israel?

But now that the Duck Commander's backstory is about to hit the big screen, how can longtime supporters of the show contribute to the success of the upcoming film?

But with the presence of so many different religions and opposing worldviews, do Christians have the right to maintain such exclusive beliefs?

That is to say that guilt, which can be defined as the result of violating a moral law that God has put in place, is cross-cultural. But many today suppress their guilt. How can Christians effectively preach the Gospel to a generation that refuses to recognize or even acknowledge its own guilt and depravity?

As cancel culture continues to rear its ugly head in all spheres of life, it has sadly breached the walls of social media and corporate America, now managing to creep into the hearts and minds of those who have turned away from a biblical worldview. So, if your child or loved one cancels you because you're "toxic", is there anything you can do?

But is it truly intolerant to warn people if they are putting themselves, other people, or even society at risk?

How do we resolve this apparent contradiction?
In this midweek podcast episode, Frank responds to one of several hostile emails we received after releasing a 60-second video on the topic of baptism. Using the S.T.O.P. method, Frank walks us through the correct interpretation of Acts 2:38 and provides seven reasons why Christians sh...2023-06-1335 minI Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEISTAre Miracles Impossible Because They Violate Natural Laws?Are miracles possible? Many academics have ruled miracles out completely, claiming that miracles are a violation of the laws of nature. But is that conclusion reasonable?
In this week's podcast episode, Frank provides reasonable arguments to defend the possibility of miracles. There is a popular philosophical assumption among scholars such as Bart Ehrman and David Hume that supernatural intervention is impossible, leading many to only believe in material causes. As Frank reflects on philosophical ideas and specific examples in history and science, you'll see why miracles are not only possible, but at least likely to have occurred at various points in h...2023-06-0248 minI Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEISTThe 5 Flaws of Transgender Ideology

Specifically, Carmen directs us back to the events that took place at Mount Sinai, when the nation of Israel truly met their God. In this fascinating interview, Frank discusses issues with Carmen such as: How do the events of Mount Sinai point us to understanding our true identity today?, have we completely misunderstood the commandment 'Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain'?, and what does it mean to bear God's image...2022-11-1848 minI Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST4 Reasons Christians Should be Involved in PoliticsAnother election is upon us!

In this episode, Frank does a deep dive into four reasons why Christians need to be involved in politics. He explains why it goes against the greatest commandment to "love thy neighbor" if we choose to stay silent on many of these issues!

When we conduct a session on campus—it takes our team and a Christian host group on campus to do so—we are throwing a lifeline to the Christian students who attend, and we are putting a stone in the shoe of the skeptics who show up.
