34m ago48:18

48:18

What would you do if you learned that your child's school had been plotting an elaborate scheme to legally abduct your child, cutting off all communication from you and forcing them into a state-run facility because they view you as the enemy?

Jacob, Joseph, and Jesus: EVEN MORE "Third Day" References in the Old Testament | with Dr. Chip Bennett 30:12

3d ago30:12

30:12

Is the whole of Scripture just a disorganized collection of conflicting documents? Some scholars think so, claiming it to be a battleground for historical contradictions.

The 1916 Project | with Seth Gruber 48:18

7d ago48:18

48:18

How did things like third-trimester abortions, infanticide, euthanasia, critical race theory, transgender ideology, and drag queen story hour become embedded in modern American culture?

Moses, Joshua, and Jesus: MORE "Third Day" References in the Old Testament | with Dr. Chip Bennett 38:26

10d ago38:26

38:26

Where can we find the concept of the third day being played out in the Old Testament? Esther, Isaac, Daniel, Jonah, and even Goliath point to the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Where is the Resurrection Predicted in the Old Testament? with Dr. Chip Bennett 48:18

14d ago48:18

48:18

Jesus told His disciples that every story in the Old Testament points to Him. But what did He mean? If you look closely, you'll find that the Hebrew Bible contains 30+ "third-day" references and parallels to Jesus that fly under the radar for most readers. But where exactly are these resurrection prophecies located? And why do so many Christians ha…

What Does Biblical Inerrancy REALLY Mean? with Dr. Mike Licona 44:02

17d ago44:02

44:02

Is it possible that the Bible actually contains errors? And if so, how would these errors impact the message of the Gospel? These are fair questions that some Christians may be afraid to ask. But does an error or two discredit the overall authenticity and reliability of the Scriptures or the historicity of the Resurrection? For this midweek podcast…

Jesus, Contradicted with Mike Licona 48:14

21d ago48:14

48:14

Do most Christians have the wrong definition of inerrancy?

Debating Bart Ehrman About the Gospels with Jimmy Akin 48:12

28d ago48:12

48:12

When Christians suggest that the Bible is without error, what does that actually mean? And are there really good reasons to believe that the Bible, (specifically the New Testament) is both historically reliable and inerrant? Critics like Bart Ehrman raise challenging and thought-provoking questions about contradictions in the Gospels and Jesus' res…

Who Is Living Inside Your Kid's Head? | with Shanda Fulbright

1M ago

—

Why do your kids believe what they believe about the world and the purpose of life? Are you equipping them to make good decisions now and in the future when you’re no longer there to protect them?

The Top 3 Reasons Why Christians Should Be Involved in Politics | with Tony Perkins 48:18

1M ago48:18

48:18

Should Christians get involved with politics, or should we just stay out of the way because “religion and politics don’t mix”? While some Christians have the tendency to idolize political influence, others have gone to the opposite end of the spectrum, choosing to completely shy away from engaging in public policy altogether. What does the Bible an…

The Truth in True Crime with J. Warner Wallace 48:16

Have you ever wondered why America is so obsessed with death and murder, or why some of today’s most popular podcasts, shows, and TV networks are all centered around the topic of true crime?

48:16

What exactly constitutes “free speech” and falls under the protection of the First Amendment?

Why Objections Don’t Defeat the Truth of God 48:19

2M ago48:19

48:19

If God is good, why is there so much evil in the world? And if God wants us to trust Him and love Him, why does He stay so hidden? Those are two of the most powerful objections to Christianity. But even if you couldn’t come up with answers to these questions, is that reason enough to abandon the faith and embrace a different worldview? This week, F…

One Nation Under Wokeness | with Dr. James Lindsay 48:13

Is there an all out assault on common sense in the West? Over the last decade or so, proponents of “wokeness” have asserted crazy ideas like “men can get pregnant”, “whiteness is evil”, the extermination of Jews “from the river to the sea”, and kids should be sterilized through “gender-affirming care.” Where are these bizarre ideas coming from, wha…

He is Risen! Examining the Evidence for the Resurrection with Dr. Jonathan McLatchie 48:15

3M ago48:15

48:15

How did an itinerant preacher, born into poverty and raised in an obscure village, a man who never wrote a book or had a formal education, who was betrayed by his friends and ultimately crucified on a rugged cross, rise to become THE central figure in human history? Jesus of Nazareth has left an undeniable mark on the world and all of western socie…

Why Would a GOOD God Create People He Knew Would Go to Hell? Plus More Q&A 47:35

3M ago47:35

47:35

If God knew that millions or billions of people would not only sin, but in the end reject Him and therefore spend eternity in Hell, why would He create mankind in the first place? In other words, why would God create people He knew would go to Hell? Wouldn’t a “good” God create a universe where EVERYONE believes? This week, Frank responds to these …

Is America Becoming a Police State? with Dinesh D’Souza 48:18

3M ago48:18

48:18

Is the U.S. government deliberately targeting patriotic Americans with conservative values?

Can We Really Believe the Bible is Inerrant? Plus More Q&A 51:32

3M ago51:32

51:32

Do you have to believe that the Bible is completely without error to be a true Christian? If you don’t agree with the Bible, you ultimately find yourself at odds with the teachings of Jesus and that’s never a good idea.

Do you have blood on your hands? Are Christian beliefs motivating trans people to commit the unthinkable act of suicide?

Does the Resurrection of Jesus Prove He is the Jewish Messiah? with Eric Chabot 43:16

4M ago43:16

43:16

If Jesus rose from the dead, wouldn’t that also demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that the Messianic prophecies were about Him? Even if you can convince an orthodox Jew that the resurrection actually happened, it still may not be enough to persuade them that Jesus is the promised Messiah of the Old Testament. Where exactly is the disconnect and…

The #1 Doctrine That Answers Christianity’s Toughest Questions with Dr. Tim Stratton 48:21

4M ago48:21

48:21

It’s the age old question–if God is sovereign over all things then how do we have free will? And if God controls everything, does that make Him the author of evil since He causes humans to sin? How do we reconcile a good God with all of the pain and suffering that’s happening in the world? It can seem like a bit of a conundrum for Christians, and t…

Can a purely materialistic worldview account for concepts like human dignity, moral absolutes, or objective meaning? In a surprising (and encouraging) turn of events, many who once held to an atheistic worldview are beginning to see that a search for meaning without God is ultimately futile.

Is America headed down a dark path similar to that of Nazi Germany? If history has shown us anything, it’s that bad things happen when Christians don’t collectively speak out against evil.
