I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

How did America REALLY begin? As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, claims that the Founding Fathers were mostly deists and that Christianity had little influence on America's founding have become increasingly common. But does the historical record support those claims, or are misinformed pundits trying to rewrite our past while jeopardizing our future?Joining Frank to set the record straight is the one-and-only, Bill Federer, author and founder of American Minute. Together, Frank and Bill unpack the biblical ideas that shaped America's founding, explore what made the American experiment so revolutionary, and examine why so many misconceptions about the Founders persist today. Tune in as they answer questions like:Who was the first globalist in the history of the world according to the Bible?Why did the founders want to escape the ruling of King George?Where did America's Founders get the idea that they could rule themselves without a king?How was this idea different from the Roman Republic?Do our rights come from God or the government?How do we know the founders were Bible-believing Christians and not deists?Who pioneered the concept of different Christian denominations living together in the same geographic area?What event led up to the first Continental Congress?What makes America's constitutional republic so unique in world history?What did Benjamin Franklin REALLY think about Christianity?This conversation is only the beginning! Bill returns on Friday's episode to share astonishing stories of God's providence throughout American history--from unlikely victories to moments that seem almost impossible to explain.

What are the consequences when a charming, seminary-trained politician misquotes Scripture and how can we discern biblical truth from error? Frank welcomes Ryan Crews, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and CrossExamined Board Member, to examine the twisted theology of Texas State Representative James Talarico, who's currently running for the U.S. Senate.Using Talarico's own words and video clips (not secondhand claims), Frank and Ryan compare his teachings with Scripture and explain why many of his views cross the line from theological error into outright heresy. In this episode, they'll answer questions like:Should Christians call out false teachers?Which seminary is James Talarico attending and what are their beliefs?What does James Talarico get right and what does he get wrong?Why are atheists easier to understand compared to someone who claims to be a Christian but pours different meaning into what's written in the Bible?Did Jesus ever ask to be worshipped or claim to be God?What is one of Jesus' biggest "mic-drop" moments in the Gospels?Do humans have a divine nature because we're made in the image of God?Is the Resurrection of Jesus just an allegorical story?Is the Bible silent on abortion?Before Christians allow any public figure to influence their understanding of Jesus, Scripture, or politics, they should first investigate whether that person's teaching aligns with the Word of God.

Does science REALLY point to a beginning of the universe? If it does, why are some world-renowned physicists still searching for a loophole? On a mission to bypass the need for a Creator, alternative cosmological theories continue to emerge, but are they solving the mysteries of the universe or creating even bigger problems?Fresh off the release of his remarkable film, 'The Story of Everything', Dr. Stephen C. Meyer returns to discuss Sir Roger Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) and answer questions like:What scientific evidence suggests that the universe had a beginning?What is the Steady State Theory and why is it no longer accepted?Who is Sir Roger Penrose and why are his latest cosmological ideas generating so much debate?Does Penrose's theory eliminate or confirm the need for fine-tuning of the universe?What are Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems?What is the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem?What do other physicists think of Penrose's claim of a cyclical universe?Later in the program, Frank answers:How do we know who's right about all this--Meyer, Einstein, Penrose, or some combination?What are five M's of the universe that require an explanation?Even if Penrose is right (that the universe didn't have a beginning) does that eliminate the need for a Creator?Ready to dig deeper on this topic?

How does a suicidal 17-year-old battling anxiety, depression, and doubts about God's existence, become the founder of his own ministry and one of today's most influential young evangelists five years later? Since 2024, Bryce Crawford has already reached 2 billion people through digital media and is filling venues around the country at just 22-years old.But Bryce isn't interested in building a platform for himself. Instead, he's using his influence to reach a generation searching for truth, purpose, and hope in Christ—even when it means stepping into environments where rejection, ridicule, and hostility are almost guaranteed. Together, Frank and Bryce answer questions like:What life-changing moment happened when Bryce was in eighth grade and sent him into a deep spiral of depression?What was the desperate prayer that completely changed his life at age 17?How did Bryce become such a positive influence and effective communicator for the Gospel in only five years?Why does Bryce intentionally go to places where Christianity is often unwelcome and what keeps him going when he faces rejection and hostility?How can older generations be more effective when it comes to reaching Gen Z for Christ?Why are some of America's most secular cities like Boston and New York filling up venues to hear what Bryce has to say?What surprising (and shocking) encounters has Bryce had while evangelizing at public events?What kind of fruit has emerged from years of evangelism in places most believers would never go?How do apologetics, truth, and grace all work together to bring people closer to the saving grace of Jesus Christ?What is the "ministry of presence" and why has it become one of Bryce's most effective outreach tools?From crowded city streets, college campuses, pride events, gay bars, and everywhere in between, Bryce's ministry is a powerful reminder that people are often far more open to the Gospel than we think. His story challenges Christians of every generation to move beyond fear, meet people where they are, and lovingly point them to the freedom and hope found in Christ.

There’s never been a nation like the United States of America. But do you know the wild and true story of how it came into existence? On our 250th anniversary, the hunger for America’s story has never been greater, and who better to tell it than historian and radio host Eric Metaxas, author of seven New York Times bestsellers including the ground-breaking biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer?This week, Eric joins Frank to discuss his brand-new 600+ page book, 'Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World', which explores in-depth the divine providence and heroic stories behind the founding of the United States.

They tried to murder his family. So how did a religion with a centuries-long history of violence become successfully rebranded as the "religion of peace"?

Have you noticed that the world has collectively lost its mind? Between the push to "decolonize" education and the rise of mandatory DEI training, the landscape of the American university has shifted from a place of open inquiry to a battlefield of competing ideologies. What's behind the madness?Frank catches up with Arizona State University philosophy professor, Dr. Owen Anderson, to get an update on his high-stakes hearing with the Arizona Supreme Court. Owen shares his unique perspective on how cultural Marxism continues to silence free speech, logic, and the Christian worldview in many public universities--and why he's not backing down despite the consequences.

(HINT: it's NOT Donald Trump)Why is logic the ultimate weapon when confronting self-defeating ideologies?What's the irony of keeping God and objective morality out of the classroom?What advice does Owen have for Christian parents sending their kids to college?How does Romans 1 accurately diagnose our current cultural chaos?Why is the Left funding and supporting its own ideological opponents like the KKK?As critical theories continue to influence laws and the classroom, understanding their roots is more important than ever.

Hollywood is built on the promise of fame, money, and influence. But if that’s the "dream," why does the glitz and glamour leave so many icons feeling hopeless and empty inside?You’ve seen Rob Schneider on SNL and in box-office hits like 50 First Dates, but you've never seen him like this. From his journey to faith, to his front-row seat to the "cancel culture" wars, Rob is pulling back the curtain on what it’s like to be a Christian in an industry that’s increasingly hostile to the Gospel.

How do you make the case for Christianity? It seems that the burden of proof always falls on Christians, but there are certain aspects of reality that need to be explained regardless of your worldview (even atheism!). The question remains, which worldview fits the story of reality better than the others?In this evergreen podcast episode, Frank breaks down 10 aspects of reality that support the Christian worldview by answering questions like:What is the cosmological argument?How is the universe fine-tuned at three different levels?Why is atheism, not Christianity, at odds with science?Where do the laws of logic come from?Why doesn’t science say anything?Where does objective morality come from?How did Jesus Christ become the most influential person in human history?Why is it essential to not make hasty generalizations about a whole group or worldview from single incidents?What proof is there that you are in a propaganda war right now?In the last part of the program, Frank explains why you can’t make firm conclusions about entire groups with insufficient data, which is especially true about short videos we see online (like ICE arrests).

It's been over a decade since the 2015 Obergefell ruling that mandated same-sex marriage on every state and the stats are in. Has redefining marriage strengthened families, or has it quietly harmed the most vulnerable among us? Frank sits down with Katy Faust, founder and president of Them Before Us, to confront the real-world consequences of so-called “gay marriage,” and introduce the brand-new 'Greater Than' movement—a bold effort to return to the natural law and biblical definition of marriage on behalf of children. During their conversation, Frank and Katy answer questions like:What personal experiences growing up make Katy uniquely qualified to talk about this topic?Why was marriage and family such an important issue to Charlie Kirk?What are the 3 institutions that God created and how are they related?Why does the government care about marriage?Who is statistically the most dangerous person in a child’s life?What is the “Cinderella Effect”?Why does Frank believe the term “gay marriage” doesn’t address the real issue?Are all family structures equally beneficial for children?Why are the biological distinctions between mothers and fathers so important to children?What does the data show about biological parents vs. non-biological caregivers?What are the 3 main goals of the 'Greater Than' movement and how can you help?In today’s society, children are often treated like trophies—spoken for, negotiated over, or reshaped to serve adult priorities. 'Greater Than' works from a different premise: children’s rights should not be overridden by adult feelings or desires.

As Christians, we all believe that Hell is real. But what is the exact nature of God's eternal punishment? Is Hell eternal conscious torment, or will it ultimately come to an end? This week, Kirk Cameron joins Frank to unpack the controversy that led him to host, 'Hellgate: The Christian Debate We're Afraid to Have', a roundtable discussion featuring biblical scholars Paul Copan, Chris Date, Gavin Ortlund, and Dan Paterson, examining what Scripture actually teaches about eternal punishment, conditionalism, and the justice of God. Frank and Kirk will tackle questions like:What caused Kirk to reconsider the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment?How did some prominent Christian leaders react to his comments?What is conditionalism (annihilationism) and how does it compare to the traditional view of Hell?What did the early church fathers believe about Hell?Does conditionalism undermine the Gospel?Is God unjust if he punishes people for all eternity in Hell?Is eternal punishment overkill for temporal sins?Do passages like Matthew 25:46 and Revelation 14 & 20 rule out annihilationism?Is conditionalism heretical or a legitimate orthodox disagreement?How should Christians debate difficult doctrines without fracturing unity within the Church?Has Kirk's position on Hell changed since the roundtable discussion?For more information on this important topic, be sure to watch the full 'Hellgate' discussion on Kirk’s YouTube channel.

We hear that technology will set us free and that identity is whatever we choose. What we’re not being told is how these promises unravel reality itself, leaving us restless and confused in a world where we can no longer tell what is true. Embrace the Truth president Abdu Murray returns to the program to continue the discussion about his brand-new book, 'Fake ID', and share practical tips for how we can navigate today's two cultural tsanamis of artificial intelligence and identity ideology. Together, Frank and Abdu answer questions like:What does it mean to say that humans are made in the image of God?Why does humanity collapse when objective truth goes away?Why does increased digital connection make us feel more lonely and depressed?What shocking story did no one talk about in mainstream media and how is it another example of collapsing reality?Should we embrace our "authentic self"?What are some practical tips and tools we can use to navigate the culture we're in right now?Why is the distinction between epistemology and ontology so important?What is the ultimate solution to all of this cultural confusion and chaos?What was the providential encounter that Abdu recently experienced at MIT?Reality doesn't go away just because you stop believing in it! And the reality is, our identity is found in the truth of Jesus Christ and Him alone. You're not just made in His image, but you can actually become a child of God by trusting in Jesus. The truth will set you free! Continue to pray that others may be released by the bondage of today's cultural lies.

Why is the biblical (and common sense) purpose of the government to punish wrongdoers being reversed in Minnesota? Federal agents are being blocked from arresting criminals, local officials are shielding criminals from accountability while sweeping massive amounts of fraud under the rug, and anti-ICE agitators are disrupting worship services without any local police response? Who is in the right, legally? Political journalist Megyn Kelly joins the program to expose the legal reality behind the radical activism happening in Minnesota and the growing conflict between the feds and the state. Drawing on her experience as a lawyer, Megyn explains clearly and concisely why sanctuary cities are defying federal authority, and why Americans (especially Christians) can no longer afford to stay silent as Islam quietly gains ground in the West.Together, Frank and Megyn will answer questions like:Why did Megyn become a lawyer and how did she make the shift into political journalism?Does freedom of speech give us the right to protest and disrupt a worship service?What is the FACE Act of 1994?What's the connection between BLM and the church agitators in Minnesota?What will happen to Tim Walz, Jacob Fry, and Don Lemon?Why does ICE face resistance in blue states but not red states?How are sanctuary cities complicating ICE's ability to enforce immigration laws?What is the ultimate endgame of woke activism, according to Megyn?Who has jurisdiction over immigration, the federal or state government?Why is Islamophobia a bogus term?Why should Americans take note of what's happening in the UK?Winston Churchill once said, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on." If you're feeling overwhelmed after reading through the latest news headlines and need clear and concise explanations of what the law says about today's most complicated cultural issues, this is the episode for you!Did you enjoy this podcast?

Tune in for the answer along with other questions like:How did Peter use his creative writing skills to point out the ideological insanity of academia?What makes the oppressed/oppressor lens so destructive?What was Peter's last conversation with Charlie Kirk?Why does Peter think revamping teacher certification programs is the key to saving Western civilization?How do universities operate as indoctrination factories?Why does Peter think Europe is beyond hope?Is "Islamophobia" a nonsensical term?How can societies defend themselves from cultural and ideological collapse?How does Peter define atheism and is he open to Christianity?Is it possible to achieve meaning and purpose without the existence of God?How does Peter ground objective morality as an atheist?What is Peter's advice to Christians and other listeners of Frank's podcast?WARNING: While there is certainly a lot to learn from the discussion, this episode explores sensitive topics and is not suited for young children.

How in the world could a Christian and an atheist have a civil conversation about the current political climate in the West? It's easier than you think! As free speech collapses across Europe and ideological enforcement tightens its grip on the U.S., many are asking, are we truly "free" anymore?This week, Frank is joined by philosopher Dr. Peter Boghossian, author of 'A Manual for Creating Atheists', fresh off their surprise appearance together at the chaotic TPUSA event at UC Berkeley. Together, they examine why civil dialogue is breaking down, why Islam presents a unique challenge to Western civilization, and why the modern left seems incapable of self-correction. In this episode, Frank and Peter tackle questions like:Why did Peter leave his position at Portland State University?Why was Peter invited to the TPUSA event at UC Berkeley?Why has the radical left "gone to crazy town" and seems unable to engage in meaningful dialogue?Why do people who can't form arguments call reason "oppression" and switch to bigotry and discrimination?Why is it so important to have open dialogue with people who may disagree with you?Why does Peter think Islamic immigration is an important topic that needs to be discussed?What work did Peter do with prison inmates and what dangerous mission is he planning next?Why does Peter care about freedom of religion even though he's an atheist?Why does a free society require free speech to survive?Why doesn't Peter publicize his events?Why do facts often fail to change people's minds?Why does Peter call himself a "cultural Christian" even though he's atheist?In a world where people are starving for civil discourse, this light-hearted conversation between Frank and Peter is a breath of fresh air! Be sure to catch the next episode as their conversation continues on cancel culture, free speech, and how to ground objective morality.If you enjoyed this podcast episode PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY BY SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY USING THE LINK BELOW. 100% of your donation goes to ministry, 0% to buildings!Resources mentioned during the episode:Donate to CrossExamined - https://donor.crossexamined.org/A Manual for Creating Atheists - https://a.co/d/f0fp0K2How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide - https://a.co/d/anUjvBjFrank and Peter at UC Berkeley - https://youtu.be/Pbxuw7wR8b4 Chaos at Berkeley: Free Speech Under Siege - https://bit.ly/4sJHOwbPeter's Substack - https://boghossian.substack.com/Peter on X - https://x.com/peterboghossianPeter's YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/drpeterboghossian Peter's website -https://peterboghossian.com/
