The Dark History of Marxism vs. Christianity with Dr. Erwin Lutzer
Karl Marx and D.L. Moody were two men with radically different visions for humanity. Both witnessed poverty, injustice, and suffering, but their solutions couldn’t have been more different. So, what can these two 19th-century contemporaries teach us about the battle of worldviews we're facing today?One of our favorite guests, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, joins Frank to explore that question through his new book, Marx and Moody, co-authored with Dr. Gregg Quiggle. From Marx’s troubled home life and calls for revolution to Moody’s work among the poor and passion for the Gospel, their stories reveal just how differently these two men believed society could be changed. Along the way, they’ll tackle questions like:What was Karl Marx’s personal life like, and how did it compare to the society he envisioned?What’s the difference between socialism and communism, and why are these ideas still attractive today?Why are the family, private property, and Christianity at odds with Marxism?How did Marxist ideas make their way into American culture?Why didn’t Marxism take over England during Marx’s lifetime?How did D.L. Moody address poverty and social needs without looking to revolution?Why did Christian leaders like Moody and Charles Spurgeon speak out against socialism and communism?Marx looked to revolution. Moody looked to the Gospel. More than a century later, we're still living with the consequences. Listen as Frank and Dr. Lutzer unpack how two competing answers to the problems of the 1800s are still shaping the world we live in today, and grab your copy of Marx and Moody to learn more!If you enjoyed this podcast episode PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY BY SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY USING THE LINK BELOW. 100% of your donation goes to ministry, 0% to buildings!

Is Christianity the Cure for Your Restless Heart? with Dr. Gavin Ortlund
Do you ever have one of those moments when ordinary life suddenly feels like it’s pointing to something more? You can’t quite explain it, but for a split second, this world doesn’t seem like all there is. Could this be a glimpse of something beyond this world, or even a glimpse of God?Pastor, author, and theologian, Dr. Gavin Ortlund, joins Frank to explore that possibility and the ideas behind his brand-new book, 'Why Christianity Makes Sense: A Book About Jesus, the Mysteries of the World, and the Longings in Your Heart'. From what Gavin calls the “ache”, to meaning, divine hiddenness, and the historical case for Jesus, this conversation makes the case for engaging both the mind and the heart. Tune in as Frank and Gavin tackle questions like:What is the "ache” that Gavin describes in his book and what can it tell us about God?Why do we often seem to distract ourselves from life’s deeper questions?What do some atheists say is the meaning of life and why do their explanations fall short?Why should Christian apologists appeal to both the heart and the mind?What makes the Resurrection such a powerful source of hope?Did Jesus REALLY claim to be God?What are Gavin's 3 best arguments for the historicity of Jesus?If God wants us to know Him, why does He sometimes seem hidden?Would more miracles actually lead more people to believe in Christianity?Why might God allow us to live without absolute certainty of His existence?If you've ever felt a longing deep in your heart for something you cannot name, this is your chance to explore it.

What Were Pastors Doing While Charlie Kirk Did Their Job? with Jeremy Boreing
BLM burned American cities to the ground. One-third of GenZ girls identify as LGBTQ. Four-hundred women in pink rally for a mother who strangled her three children. Charlie Kirk stood in the public square doing the watchman's work in a country with a church on every corner--and was killed doing it. What were the pastors doing?Producer and cultural commentator, Jeremy Boering, returns to unpack the speech that sparked these questions and goes deeper into where Christians, pastors, and the culture go from here. Tune in as Frank and Jeremy wrestle with questions like:What inspired Jeremy to challenge 600+ pastors during a recent TPUSA Faith event?What is a fundamental mistake of the seeker-sensitive movement in the American Church?Why has the American Church become increasingly apolitical over the past 50+ years?How should Christians weigh a political leader’s character against the policies they support?What does Jeremy think about President Donald Trump?Why are we seeing a rise of interest (and even advocacy) for socialism?What 3 major areas should pastors focus on to become more engaged in cultural issues?What are the feminine sins that few pastors will call out?Why is it sometimes easier to help a stranger than someone you know personally?What happens when toxic empathy for the accused begins to overshadow justice for the victim?Later in the show, the conversation takes a few unexpected turns as Jeremy weighs in on the Lindsay Clancy case, his previous experience working with Candace Owens at the Daily Wire, and his thoughts on whether or not Pendragon fans will see a Season 2.

A CHRISTIAN Story?! Exploring the #1 Fantasy Show in America with Jeremy Boreing
Christians have plenty of truth to share. But why does “Christian entertainment” sometimes struggle to tell a great story? What if the problem isn’t the message, but how we tell it?Frank sits down with producer, cultural commentator, and Daily Wire co-founder, Jeremy Boreing, whose latest project puts those ideas to the test. As the writer and director of the highly successful, 'The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin', Jeremy has seen a 30-year dream become the #1 fantasy series on Amazon Prime Video. What did it take to get there, and what can its success teach Christians about faith, art, and the stories we tell?Tune in as Frank and Jeremy unpack questions like:Why was sharing and developing this story so important to Jeremy?Why do Christians sometimes struggle to make great entertainment?What did C.S. Lewis understand about Christian art that we sometimes miss?Why does Jeremy believe the Arthurian myth is fundamentally a Christian story?What's the difference between cultural Christians of the 90's and cultural Christianity today?What makes The Pendragon Cycle different from Game of Thrones, Narnia, and The Lord of the Rings?How can you effectively communicate a Christian worldview without turning your story into a sermon?Why is storytelling such a powerful way to communicate truth?Where do materialism and naturalism fall short in answering life’s biggest questions?And just when you think this conversation is all about entertainment, it takes a much more serious turn. What really went wrong with security on the day Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and what happened behind the scenes during Frank's return visit? Find out in this week’s episode, and be sure to tune-in next week as Jeremy returns with a very important message (and challenge) for American pastors.If you enjoyed this podcast episode PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY BY SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY USING THE LINK BELOW. 100% of your donation goes to ministry, 0% to buildings!Resources mentioned during the episode:Donate to CrossExamined - https://donor.crossexamined.org/The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HFH7J5N3Jeremy's YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@jeremyboreing Charlie Kirk: "The Greatest Man I Ever Knew" - https://youtu.be/CPejdWTeLOw Frank Turek Returns to Utah Valley Univ. to Share the Gospel - https://youtu.be/lbZk_ccgAbA What Were Pastors Doing When Charlie Kirk Was Doing Their Job? - https://youtu.be/I0dyHefqZEo

Can We Declare Reality? Manifestation, Affirmation, & Christian Occultism with Phoenix Hayes
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 is it important to distinguish between psychological and spiritual definitions of manifestation?What's the difference between biblical prayer and trying to manipulate spiritual outcomes?What is “Christian occultism,” and could some Christians be practicing it without realizing it?How did Phoenix work her way out of Word of Faith and deliverance ministry theology?What questions can you ask someone caught up in Word of Faith or New Thought beliefs?'The War on Reality' isn’t just about confronting bad ideas in the culture. Sometimes Christians need to take a hard look at the ideas circulating inside the Church, too.
