  • Frank’s Great, but has shifted focus

    I’ve learn from Frank and many of his guests. However, since Charlie passed,Frank seems to be having more guests who are more political and less Christian. While the Bible should inform political views and it seems Frank has had that focus in the past, it feels as if he’s been flirting with turning this into a political podcast instead of apologetics

  • What is the story of everything

    Clearly laid out for science and non science people. This was interesting and easy to follow. Not preachy and used science to prove the Biblical science. Loved it

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Outrageous Lies Americans Are Being Told About Reality with Nick Freitas
Q: What one thing do you wish people would understand about Islam in America?
Islam has a global objective, and its approach is not anti-American if they see the West as an obstacle; however, the ideology itself is not compatible with liberal democracy when it becomes a governing system, so understanding that distinction is key.
Mic-Drop Wisdom About Marriage, Manhood, Lawn Care, Elon Musk, & American Prosperity from Nick Freitas
Q: What would you say is one of the top lessons you learned by being a delegate for 10 years?
The biggest lesson is that the family is the central unit of society and that politics matters, but it must serve and not replace the health of marriages and households; steady, faithful commitment and practical, principled leadership are essential to lasting impact.
What No One Ever Told You About the American Revolution with Eric Metaxas
Q: How do you address the common claim that the Revolution was a secular or deistic affair?
He argues that the founders were deeply religious, saw rights as coming from God, and that the narrative of deism is a mischaracterization used to airbrush religion out of history; the book asserts a consistent biblical framework underlying the revolution.
What No One Ever Told You About the American Revolution with Eric Metaxas
Q: What inspired you to write Revolution, and how does it differ from other books on the American Revolution?
Metaxas explains that his motivation was to present the full story with God at the center, arguing that most histories omit or downplay the central role of faith and providence; the book aims to be a readable synthesis that includes the spiritual dimension as essential to liberty.
How a University Turned Jesus Into an Oppressor — One Professor's Fight Against DEI with Dr. Owen Anderson
Q: What would you recommend parents do when their children are going to state universities with a perceived hostile climate toward Christian perspectives?
Be proactive: ensure your children have a solid Christian education, understand basic doctrine, and develop a personal faith that can withstand intellectual challenges; also, consider schools with strong debate platforms and concrete policies that encourage open dialogue.
