I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

A Muslim co-worker says Jesus never claimed to be God. Your Mormon neighbor says, “We believe in Jesus too!” Then, a Jehovah’s Witness opens the New World Translation and starts reading what sounds like scripture. Are you ready to respond? Or are you suddenly hoping somebody changes the subject?

Frank welcomes Dr. Brady Blevins, Senior Apologist at Watchman Fellowship, and 'Conversations with the Faiths' course instructor, for an eye-opening conversation about Christian heresies. What are these groups teaching their followers, and how can Christians help them recognize the deception? Tune in as Frank and Brady answer questions like:

Where does the word 'Mormon' come from and why are Mormons now trying to distance themselves from the term in favor of 'The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'?
Is Mormonism just another Christian denomination?
How do the four functions of math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) help us spot the errors of Mormonism, Islam, and JWs?
What are the consequences of leaving these religious groups or violating their rules?
How do all of these religious groups violate Galatians 1:8?
Why do Jehovah's Witnesses insist on using a different Bible?
What's the irony related to how Mormons, Muslims, and JWs view Jesus compared to Judaism?
Are eyewitnesses for the Book of Mormon more trustworthy than the eyewitnesses of Jesus' resurrection?
What are the gold (not golden!) plates, how do Mormons claim they came into existence, and where are they now?
What's the key difference between Mormon 'burning of the bosom' and the witness of the Holy Spirit?

When God puts someone on your doorstep, or places someone in your life, you're supposed to be an ambassador for Him. Don't be caught off guard!

Did we REALLY find Noah's Ark or are millions of people being misled by internet hype? Have we REALLY found the burial box of Jesus’s brother, James? And what do jihad and progressive Christianity have to do with America's upcoming midterm elections? Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston, president and founder of Christian Thinkers, joins Frank to tackle some of the biggest controversies currently making headlines in archaeology, politics and the Church. Together, they answer questions like:

How does progressive Christian, Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico, twist Scripture to defend his political positions?
Is the Bible REALLY silent on abortion?
Which is more important in the ballot box: policies or personalities?
What does Muslim Michigan Senate Candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, get wrong about illegal immigration?
What can Americans learn from the growing influence of Islam in the UK?
According to his archaeology scorecard, does Jeremiah think we found Noah's ark?
Why does every major civilization in history have a flood story?
What is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in history related to Jesus and could it be a forgery?
What did the Israeli Supreme Court say about this archaeological discovery?
Why did Jeremiah recently call out Pastor Zach Lambert on social media?

Can we REALLY trust the New Testament writers? How do we know they were telling the truth about Jesus' resurrection and not just passing along an invented story? The brand-new updated edition of 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist' is officially available TODAY after the first edition sold over half a million copies.

By God’s grace, the book has been successful because it shows people why the Bible is true in a systematic manner, building the case through easy-to-graph evidence, while addressing all major objections each step of the way. This new edition adds even more evidence and responds to objections that have arisen over the past 22 years.
In this episode, Frank examines some of the strongest evidence that the New Testament writers were telling the truth, straight from one of the chapters in the updated book.

Tune in as he tackles questions like:
Why does Wes Huff surprisingly call Jesus' disciples the "duh-ciples"?
Why is it significant that women were the first witnesses to the empty tomb?
Is it possible the disciples stole Jesus' body while the guards were sleeping?
What do name trends have to do with the reliability of Scripture?
Do differences between the Gospel accounts undermine their credibility or strengthen it?
What's the difference between establishing historicity vs. inerrancy?
What are "undesigned coincidences," and how do they support the reliability of the New Testament?
Why didn't the Gospel writers exaggerate their accounts of Jesus' miracles?
Could the New Testament be an elaborate work of historical fiction?

If the Gospel writers were making it all up, they certainly had a strange way of doing it! Listen as Frank unpacks why their accounts are worth trusting, and grab your copy of the newly updated, 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist' (with 30% new content!) to discover even more evidence why Christianity is the most reasonable worldview.

If someone becomes wealthy does that automatically mean that someone else will become poor? It seems that some Americans need a refresher course in basic economics! This week, Frank is joined by Dr. Jay Richards, author of 'Money, Greed, and God', to make the Christian case for capitalism and free enterprise. With socialism gaining popularity among young Americans, Jay challenges some of the biggest misconceptions about wealth, poverty, and economic inequality. Tune in as Frank and Jay tackle questions like:
What's the difference between socialism, democratic socialism, and communism?
How did billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos become so wealthy, and does their success come at anyone's expense?
Isn't Sweden a socialist utopia?
Is socialism taught in the Book of Acts?
Should the wealthy pay more income taxes?
What government policies are contributing to the rising costs of housing, education, and healthcare?
Is it true that capitalism is fueled by greed, while socialism is fueled by love?
What does something as simple as a pencil reveal about how market systems work?

If you've been taught that capitalism is unchristian or that socialism is the answer to poverty and inequality, this conversation will challenge you to reconsider what you've heard. Learn more about Jay's work at The Heritage Foundation, grab a copy of his book 'Money, Greed, and God', and visit VoteYourFaith.net to research the issues and candidates ahead of the midterm elections.

Why is Ken Ham picking a fight with Frank about the age of the universe? We all know the Word of God is inerrant, but is Ken’s interpretation of the Bible inerrant? Tune in as Frank responds to Ken's recent video that criticizes what Frank teaches about creation and answers questions like:

What 3 main questions need to be addressed when discussing this issue?
Does Exodus 20 settle the debate over the six days of creation?
What about Romans 5:12 and death before the Fall?
Does believing in old-earth creation provide an opening to evolution because of time?
Why are some major Darwinists now admitting that their theory doesn't work?
What are 7 reasons why macroevolution does not fit the evidence?
Why is it important to study God's works in addition to His Word?
Is the age of the earth a salvation issue?

But wait, there's more! Later in the podcast, Frank answers questions related to the riots in France and a question from a skeptical listener, such as:
Who is behind the current unrest in France?
Why is multiculturalism false and self-defeating?
Why do 43% of young voters view Islamic sharia law favorably?
Why is it important not to judge Christianity by its misuse or abuse?
What did Jesus teach that explains why Frank chooses to focus on certain political and moral issues more than others?
