Equipping and Respectful.
I started listening to this program when it came AM radio station out in Denver when I relocated out there 20 years ago. I was struck at how Hank has a real knack for teaching people to answer with gentleness and respect as it says in first Peter chapter 3. over the years I’ve been blessed by the way Hank has a very great gifting for giving the big picture and also a different picture, then charismatic dispensational or even strongly reform views.

Protestant Heresies
It's frustrating and disappointing when Mr. Hanegraaff does not point out obvious Protestant misunderstandings and heresies concerning scripture, baptism, salvation, theosis and Christ's ancient 2000 yr old still active Church. Why leave protestant callers and listeners believing we won't be judged for how we try (but fail) to follow Christ 's Commandments and expanded *moral teachings? And the nuances of His saving grace, given to us as we fail. Are we striving to follow the Commandments and ... more

Insights to help Christian growth
I’ve listened to this show as early as 1997. I ran errands for my job and I happened upon this radio show and it was early in my Christian growth. It has provided years of insight and clarity. A true God given thing in my earthly walk.
Highly recommend!

BAM is essential
I have listened to Hank Hanegraaff for over 20 years and own several of his best books- including The Complete Bible Answer Book Collector’s Edition, Has God Spoken, and The Apocalypse Code. Hank and the CRI ministry helped to rescue me from dispensational theology and escape the trappings of the IFBC. Hank really has a knack for explaining difficult passages and helping you to learn how to read the Bible for all it’s worth. I agree with Hank 99% of the time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Best of BAM: Was Israel Commanded to Commit Genocide? with Matthew Flannagan, and Q&A

Q: If my daughter believed in Jesus but did not pray the sinner's prayer, will she go to heaven?

Hanegraaff says salvation does not depend on reciting a precise formula. He tells the caller that her daughter's belief in Jesus supports confidence that she is with the Lord.

Best of BAM: Was Israel Commanded to Commit Genocide? with Matthew Flannagan, and Q&A

Q: Was Israel commanded to commit genocide?

Matthew Flannagan argues that conquest language should be read in its literary context, where descriptions of total destruction are contrasted with accounts of surviving Canaanites. He says the language reflects hyperbole and that even a literal reading describes a specific battle, not a general command.

Q&A: This Generation, Megachurches, and Dinosaurs in the Bible

Q: How do dinosaurs fit into the Bible?

Hanegraaff outlines young-Earth and old-Earth interpretations, says Christians should consider both Scripture and scientific evidence, and cautions against unsupported claims that human footprints have been found alongside dinosaur tracks.

Q&A: This Generation, Megachurches, and Dinosaurs in the Bible

Q: What does the Bible have to say about megachurches, and what is the proper role of the pastor?

Hanegraaff says there are different church models and that small congregations can encourage every believer to prepare to strengthen and teach others. He regards the debate as important but not one that should divide believers over the essentials of Christianity.

Turning the Empire Upside Down, and Q&A

Q: Is there a difference between willful, conscious sin and stumbling?

Hanegraaff says that repentance involves turning toward Christ and wanting to follow God's way. A believer may stumble and confess sin, whereas a settled desire to continue willfully sinning can raise questions about whether that person has genuine faith.
