Summary

Charlie welcomes Christian apologist Frank Turek from CrossExamined.org for a timeless discussion laying out the rational framework for the existence of God. Frank dissects the universal morality argument, the evidence for a divine creator and designer of the universe, and challenges some of the most compelling arguments of some of the world's most famous physicists and atheists. But if someone can be persuaded to believe in God, can we also prove that Jesus is Lord? Frank walks through the existence of "embarrassing testimony" in the Bible as one piece of proof. But perhaps more compelling, Frank discusses the evidence from the lives of the Disciples, evidence from the scriptures, the history of the biblical texts themselves. If you are having doubts in your faith, or know someone who is, this is a can't miss episode.

friend. We've been texting and talking for years now. And he's had a profound impact on my life.

1:21.2

I first came across Frank Turrick when I saw a YouTube ad of yours when you were kind of going back and forth with an atheist, and you were so rationally and effectively defending the gospel and Christianity and the Bible, and I was like, who is this guy? And I watched, I think, like two hours of your videos. And they were really, really powerful and impactful. And so we got to know each other. And I reached out to you through a couple different ways. And it's an honor to be connected. It's an honor to be here, Charlie. By the way, those you've never been to Turning Point USA, they're doing some great work here. You need to know about this. If you're just tuning in for the first time, Turning Point USA. Amazing work, Charlie. Really? That means all right. I mean, having young people. There's young people all over this place. That's right.

2:16.6

And they're just great folks. So thanks for the work you're doing. The leadership's important. Thank you. Really important. Well, it's a lot of work some days, but it's worth it. It really is. A lot of work every day, man. Amen. But it's the Lord's work, so keep it going. Thank you. I deeply appreciate that.

2:17.8

Let's first talk about your organization cross-examined, which has kind of, it's a double-on-time time, right? It has a couple different words. Tell us about it. Well, we decided many years ago back in about 2006-7, after I graduated from seminary, with a degree in apologetics. You go, what is that? You're not saying you're sorry. What you're doing

2:34.4

is you're giving evidence for what you believe. And it comes from 1st Peter 315 in the Bible, always ready to give an answer, give a reason for the hope that you have, but do this with gentleness and respect. Now, since I'm from New Jersey, gentleness and respect is hard for me, but we try and do that.

2:49.8

It's the most polite state in the country.
