  • Good theology, bad archaeology

    I want to start this review by saying that am largely in agreement with Frank Turek when it comes to theology and politics. But whenever he tries to tackle biblical archaeology (or Egyptology) it’s always awful. I say this as a Christian who is working on a PhD in biblical archaeology. Turek only consults Titus Kennedy and his colleagues, who are only a niche group of biblicists who hold to fringe views and are far from the best that Christian archaeologists have to offer. There are better sourc... more

  • Excellent program, well done. But he needs to let quests talk.

    Kirk, Kirk, Kirk- yes it does gut the Gospel -even if you deny it does not. Your rational is very weak and baseless and minimizes how extremely serious this clear teaching on Hell is. It is an essential doctrine not a secondary one. This is not something just to talk about as brothers in Christ; it minimizes the implications of the immutable holiness of God. It is the very reason why Christ had to die. Our mission is not to redeem culture so much as to share the way to eternal redemption; your b... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Real or Fairy-Tale? 11 Bible Characters Found in the Dirt with Dr. Titus Kennedy
Q: What is the evidence that people, places, and events in the Bible have been corroborated by archaeology?
Kennedy points to a body of artifacts—stele, inscriptions, bullae, and tombs—that repeatedly confirm biblical characters and events, showing that many figures like Tiglath-Pileser III, Sargon II, David, and Peter lived in the historical record and that their stories align with biblical narratives.
Can You REALLY Follow Jesus and Stay Silent on Politics? with Pastor Josh McPherson
Q: What is the difference between the church being involved politically and the government becoming theological?
The church has a moral role to guide by truth and conscience, while governments enact law; problems arise when the government claims authority in areas that properly belong to religious and moral discourse.
Can You REALLY Follow Jesus and Stay Silent on Politics? with Pastor Josh McPherson
Q: Should Christians be involved in every area of life, or should they restrict their engagement to church matters?
Christians should be involved in every area of life; politics is not separate from faith but an extension of loving one's neighbor and promoting the common good within a constitutional framework.
What Does the Bible REALLY Say About Israel? (And Why It Matters Now) with Pastor Robert Furrow
Q: Do you agree with the view that there is no necessary connection between the rapture and the tribulation?
Yes, there can be a rapture without the tribulation occurring immediately afterward; timing is not fixed and they could occur at different times.
What No One Ever Told You About the History of Iran with Bill Federer - Part 2
Q: What sparked the Iran-Iraq conflict and how did Western actions influence it?
The host asks Bill Federer about the origins of the Iran-Iraq War, and Federer attributes much of the groundwork to Western meddling in the region, including prior regime changes and Cold War dynamics.
