I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

Where did the universe come from? How did life begin? And is there a purpose behind it all? If you're looking for the answers to life's BIGGEST questions, look no further than 'The Story of Everything', coming soon to a theatre near you APRIL 30th-MAY 6th.

What are the three major scientific discoveries that are covered in the book and film?

Is disagreement hate? And what about speaking out against certain sexual behaviors, like LGBTQ? Does that make you a mentally unstable person? A Canadian "hate speech" bill is currently causing concern as critics warn it could chill religious speech and expose some people to prosecution for simply quoting the Bible. Meanwhile, basketball player Jaden Ivey is promptly fired from the Chicago Bulls for stating that Pride Month celebrates "unrighteousness" as other NBA players commit serious felonies (including physically harming others) without serious repercussions.

What is the irony behind Liberal Party MP Marc Miller's statements in regards to Bible passages in Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Romans?
Where does our identity come from?
Does our behavior define our identity?

If not evangelism, what is our first and primary duty as Christians?

Has the Church become more political in recent years? Or have politics drifted out of their lane and into the lane of the Church? Pastor Josh McPherson of Grace City Church in Wenatchee, WA, joins Frank to discuss why the Church must restart its God-given responsibility as the voice of morality in a secular culture.

They'll dive into Josh’s firsthand experiences of advancing the Kingdom through political engagement and why he believes the "evacuation" of Christians from the public square has created a dangerous leadership vacuum that is detrimental not only to people, but to the propagation of the gospel. Tune in as they answer questions like:

How did a thriving conservative "megachurch" emerge in the liberal state of Washington?
What did Josh witness during his recent interactions with President Trump and his team?
How did the Biden Administration specifically target the religious freedoms of Christians?
Why is the "separation of church and state" often misunderstood?
What's the best way to love your neighbor?
What's the difference between a theocracy and constitutional republic?
How did the Bible influence the very structure of the American government?
Does active political engagement make Christians more self-righteous?
Why is the Church's voice essential for maintaining a first-world country?
What is the Black Robed Regiment?
How can Christians represent Jesus well in our everyday lives?

Is the Shroud of Turin REALLY the burial cloth of Jesus, or the greatest hoax of all time? Why has this ancient artifact continued to puzzle scientists for decades? Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston returns to explain why, after years of research, he’s gone from thinking the shroud was a joke, to traveling around the world as one of its biggest advocates. What changed his mind? Join Frank and Jeremiah as they examine the Shroud's astonishing forensic details up-close and personal while answering questions like:

What first sparked Jeremiah's interest in the Shroud of Turin?
What's the difference between an artifact and a relic, and why does it matter?
How many scientists have studied the Shroud of Turin?
Where did the shroud come from and how does it align with the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ death and burial?
Why does Jeremiah say the Shroud is an "itemized receipt" of how much Jesus loves us?
What does science and forensics evidence related to blood, pollen, and limestone reveal about the image?
Why hasn’t anyone been able to replicate the image on the Shroud?
What are the strongest objections to its authenticity?
How is the Shroud being used today to point people to Christ?

If we're reasonable people who follow the evidence, how much evidence does it take for you to believe that something is real or evidential? It’s time to look at the evidence for the Shroud of Turin and decide for yourself!

Do you believe the physical resurrection of Jesus really happened? Or maybe it's all just imaginative storytelling? Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. Meanwhile, Christianity's most important historical fact--the resurrection--is often the least studied and most misunderstood, creating a powerless faith.

Today on Good Friday, acclaimed apologist and New Testament scholar, Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston, joins Frank to show why Jesus' victory over death is central to a believer's faith while sharing insights from his book, 'Body of Proof'. Together they answer questions like:

What two things have been at the forefront of Frank's mind since the murder of Charlie Kirk?
Why is the bodily resurrection of Jesus essential to the Christian faith and what research has Jeremiah done on the topic?
What is the current mood in scholarship about the bodily resurrection of Jesus?
What happens when a society embraces Christianity?
What did apostate Bible scholar Bart Ehrmann recently admit about Jesus?
Do "bad" Christians nullify the truth of Christianity?
What makes Jesus unique among 10 other failed Jewish "messiahs" from the first century?
Why should we view the New Testament as historical documents?
What is verisimilitude and how does it relate to the Gospels?
What is one of the greatest archaeology discoveries related to Jesus?

The truth is ladies and gentlemen, one day everyone is going to be resurrected. The question is, where will you be resurrected to? The choice is yours! Stay tuned for next week's episode where Frank and Dr. Johnston examine the latest evidence for one of the most debated artifacts in history--the Shroud of Turin. Is it REALLY the burial cloth of Jesus, or the greatest hoax of all time?
