Summary

Should Frank ‘cancel’ Megyn Kelly because they disagree on some issues? The previous podcast episode with Megyn sparked a wave of critical comments from listeners, and this week Frank addresses their concerns head-on. Next, he answers a series of listener questions related to biblical interpretation, legitimate reasons to divorce, qualifications for church elders, evidence for the origin of the universe, and other questions like:

  • Why did Frank invite Megyn Kelly on the show?
  • What is the genetic fallacy, and why is it important to talk to people with different views and opinions?
  • What should you say to those who are slandering Erika Kirk and TPUSA?
  • How does the acronym S.T.O.P. help us understand how to read and interpret the Bible?
  • What's the difference between a descriptive and prescriptive passage in the Bible?
  • What’s the danger of pulling Bible verses out of context?
  • How can the Biblical story be summarized in three short sentences?
  • What are the standards for elders and church leadership? Would being married and divorced three times disqualify someone?
  • Are abuse and abandonment the only legitimate grounds for divorce according to the Bible?
  • What is the recurring Big Bang theory and is the cosmological argument just a “God of the gaps” claim?
