If you or someone you know needs to confront demonic influence without falling into despair, the only source of true freedom is the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Tune in to gain practical tools from Scripture to overcome fear, resist the enemy’s lies, and stand firm in a culture increasingly hostile to Christianity.Resources mentioned during the episode:Josh Howerton - The Most OVERT Demonic Activity I've EVER Seen: https://youtu.be/F3imoOK0FKw Hollywood Heroes by Frank & Zach Turek - https://bit.ly/3Or82Ax

New-Testament Slavery: Fact vs. Fiction with Dr. Paul Copan
Does the Bible REALLY support slavery, as skeptics often claim? Last week, Dr. Paul Copan joined Frank to unpack the cultural and theological context of Old Testament passages, like Leviticus 25. This week, Paul returns to examine the New Testament’s most controversial passages on slavery, addressing questions about human dignity, morality, and God’s ultimate plan while answering questions like:What rights and protections did servants actually have under biblical law?What does the punishment for mistreating servants reveal about their dignity and value?How did the Bible call out abuses of slavery and work to humanize servants?What did Paul teach Christians about how to treat slaves in the New Testament?Were there barriers that made abolishing slavery outright impossible in ancient Rome?Why does God sometimes take incremental steps to eradicate deeply entrenched evils?Why were most abolitionists Christians while some famous atheists supported slavery?How are modern atheists “borrowing” from Christianity when they complain about slavery?You'll learn that slavery in the Bible is far more nuanced than skeptics want you to believe. Tune in to discover how Jesus’ radical model of service, Paul’s letters, and the early church’s example paved the way for the eventual abolition of slavery in both the ancient and modern world.Resources mentioned during the episode:Old-Testament Slavery: Fact vs. Fiction with Dr. Paul Copan - https://youtu.be/9dc5zbm1jtc Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World - https://a.co/d/8Vm25dBPaul's website - https://paulcopan.com/Is God a Moral Monster? - https://a.co/d/6tykn3NIs God a Vindictive Bully? - https://a.co/d/3RmUoIoChristianity Contested - https://a.co/d/eu1eQheSlavery in the Bible: Answering Atheist Critiques - https://youtu.be/ZImmDmr8pxk The BIBLE and SLAVERY Explained! with Dr. Carmen Imes - https://youtu.be/qWvwkHKWAfE

Old-Testament Slavery: Fact. vs. Fiction with Dr. Paul Copan
Does the Bible condone slavery? Critics often point to verses like Leviticus 25 as proof that Scripture supports the kind of dehumanizing chattel slavery we know from the antebellum South.

Old Testament scholar and author, Dr. Paul Copan, joins Frank to unpack this hot-button issue and explain how to think carefully about slavery in its historical and redemptive context. You’ll hear answers to questions like:What are 8 things a person needs to study in order to understand this topic well?What does the opening chapter of Genesis teach us about slavery?What is chattel slavery and how is it different from slavery in the Bible?How did the Mosaic laws on slavery compare to other nations in the Ancient Near East?What is the context of Leviticus 25:44 and how should it be understood?How is the term “slave” in modern Bible translations misleading?What is the ultimate vision of God’s Law when it comes to human dignity and freedom?Why wasn't slavery completely prohibited in the Old Testament?Tune in as Frank and Paul peel back the layers of cultural context, translation challenges, and God’s ultimate plan of redemption—revealing why the Bible’s teaching on this controversial and complex issue is far different than what skeptics claim.
