I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

When did "just asking questions" become enough to convict someone in the court of public opinion?
This week, Frank takes a closer look at several claims made by Candace Owens surrounding Charlie Kirk's murder and asks a simple question: What does the evidence actually show? Frank responds to listener emails about the alleged discrepancies in his account of the September 10th events and addresses the so-called CPR contradiction. He explains why possibilities, coincidences, and speculation should never be confused with proof. This episode will tackle questions like:

Why do minor differences between eyewitness accounts often strengthen rather than weaken credibility?
What makes evidence different from speculation, suspicion, or "gut feelings"?
How does confirmation bias keep people believing weak arguments?
How have logical fallacies fueled conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie's murder?
Has Candace Owens been consistent in the claims she's made?
Why do accusations without evidence undermine both justice and the pursuit of truth?
What does Occam's Razor suggest about the most likely explanation based on the available evidence?
What do we currently know about Tyler Robinson and the upcoming trial?
How does Satan wage war against reality by promoting lies over truth?
What manipulation tactics are being used to keep people tuning in?

This conversation isn't about silencing honest questions. It's about refusing to let speculation replace evidence, no matter who makes the claim.

Earlier this week, historian Bill Federer joined Frank to explore the biblical ideas that shaped the foundation of America. In this follow-up conversation, Bill returns to bring the Declaration of Independence's most influential figures to life through their faith, their sacrifices, and the extraordinary stories of divine providence that many believed shaped America's fight for independence. Join Frank and Bill as they answer questions like:

Who was John Witherspoon and what role did he play in America's fight for independence?
What role did different denominations play in the formation of the 13 original colonies?
How can we sum up Judeo-Christian Western civilization in America using only one word?
Why do some people claim that it was a miracle (at least providential) how traitor Benedict Arnold was caught?
What happened after the Battle of Cowpens in 1781 that had even a British officer calling the rising and falling waters that aided the Americans “almost miraculous”?
What happened to Richard Stockton, Carter Braxton, and the rest of the 56 Founding Fathers?
What sacrifices did the Founding Fathers make after signing the Declaration of Independence and what ultimate price did some of them pay?
What's the shocking history of British starving ships?
What can we learn from the Founders' courage and convictions as we seek to preserve the freedoms they fought so hard to secure?

John Adams once wrote, "Posterity, you will never know how much it costs the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it." We need to preserve it, ladies and gentlemen, and the way you can do that is get informed and to stand up.

How did America REALLY begin? As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, claims that the Founding Fathers were mostly deists and that Christianity had little influence on America's founding have become increasingly common. But does the historical record support those claims, or are misinformed pundits trying to rewrite our past while jeopardizing our future?

Joining Frank to set the record straight is the one-and-only, Bill Federer, author and founder of American Minute. Together, Frank and Bill unpack the biblical ideas that shaped America's founding, explore what made the American experiment so revolutionary, and examine why so many misconceptions about the Founders persist today. Tune in as they answer questions like:

Who was the first globalist in the history of the world according to the Bible?
Why did the founders want to escape the ruling of King George?
Where did America's Founders get the idea that they could rule themselves without a king?
How was this idea different from the Roman Republic?
Do our rights come from God or the government?
How do we know the founders were Bible-believing Christians and not deists?
Who pioneered the concept of different Christian denominations living together in the same geographic area?
What event led up to the first Continental Congress?
What makes America's constitutional republic so unique in world history?
What did Benjamin Franklin REALLY think about Christianity?

This conversation is only the beginning! Bill returns on Friday's episode to share astonishing stories of God's providence throughout American history--from unlikely victories to moments that seem almost impossible to explain. If you enjoy discovering the surprising ways God works through history, you don't want to miss Part 2 of this fascinating series!

What are the consequences when a charming, seminary-trained politician misquotes Scripture and how can we discern biblical truth from error? Frank welcomes Ryan Crews, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and CrossExamined Board Member, to examine the twisted theology of Texas State Representative James Talarico, who's currently running for the U.S. Senate.

Using Talarico's own words and video clips (not secondhand claims), Frank and Ryan compare his teachings with Scripture and explain why many of his views cross the line from theological error into outright heresy. In this episode, they'll answer questions like:

Should Christians call out false teachers?
Which seminary is James Talarico attending and what are their beliefs?
What does James Talarico get right and what does he get wrong?
Why are atheists easier to understand compared to someone who claims to be a Christian but pours different meaning into what's written in the Bible?
Did Jesus ever ask to be worshipped or claim to be God?
What is one of Jesus' biggest "mic-drop" moments in the Gospels?
Do humans have a divine nature because we're made in the image of God?
Is the Resurrection of Jesus just an allegorical story?
Is the Bible silent on abortion?

Before Christians allow any public figure to influence their understanding of Jesus, Scripture, or politics, they should first investigate whether that person's teaching aligns with the Word of God. Tune in to hear the receipts as Frank and Ryan examine Talarico's own words in light of Scripture.
