INSIGHT

Evil Implies An Objective Moral Law

Evil doesn't disprove God; it implies an objective good, which in turn implies God.
Frank Turek argues moral facts (murder, rape are evil) require an objective moral standard rooted in God's nature, not mere opinion.

ADVICE

Defend Scripture With Standard Historical Tests

Use historical tests historians apply to any document to defend the New Testament's reliability.
Frank Turek lists early dating, eyewitness detail, embarrassing admissions, and martyrdom as concrete reasons to trust the Gospels.

INSIGHT

Old Testament Prophecies Converge On Jesus

Numerous Old Testament prophecies converge on one person: born of a woman, from Judah, in Bethlehem, suffering and rising before 70 AD.
Frank Turek cites Micah 5, Isaiah 53, Daniel 9, and the Dead Sea Scrolls to time and describe the Messiah.

In today’s episode, Seth Gruber sits down with renowned apologist Frank Turek to confront a growing crisis in American Christianity: believers who can’t defend what they claim to believe. As culture spirals further into confusion, Seth and Frank expose how a watered-down, feelings-based faith has left Christians intellectually and spiritually unarmed. They dive deep into the historical evidence for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus—asking the question most people are afraid to answer: can the Gospel actually be proven? Frank unpacks powerful arguments for Christianity’s truth claims, while also revealing how the Old Testament points directly to Christ through stunning prophetic connections. The conversation takes a darker turn as they explore the recurring symbolism of serpents throughout history and culture—even showing up in modern entertainment like Harry Potter—raising questions about the spiritual forces shaping our world. This episode is a wake-up call for Christians to stop coasting on emotion and start standing on truth.
