  A CHRISTIAN Story?! Exploring the #1 Fantasy Show in America with Jeremy Boreing 18.09.2026 49мин

  Christians have plenty of truth to share. But why does “Christian entertainment” sometimes struggle to tell a great story? What if the problem isn’t the message, but how we tell it?Frank sits down with producer, cultural commentator, and Daily Wire co-founder, Jeremy Boreing, whose latest project puts those ideas to the test. As the writer and director of the highly successful, 'The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin', Jeremy has seen a 30-year dream become the #1 fantasy series on Amazon Prime Video. What did it take to get there, and what can its success teach Christians about faith, art, and the stories we tell?Tune in as Frank and Jeremy unpack questions like:Why was sharing and developing this story so important to Jeremy?Why do Christians sometimes struggle to make great entertainment?What did C.S. Lewis understand about Christian art that we sometimes miss?Why does Jeremy believe the Arthurian myth is fundamentally a Christian story?What's the difference between cultural Christians of the 90's and cultural Christianity today?What makes The Pendragon Cycle different from Game of Thrones, Narnia, and The Lord of the Rings?How can you effectively communicate a Christian worldview without turning your story into a sermon?Why is storytelling such a powerful way to communicate truth?Where do materialism and naturalism fall short in answering life’s biggest questions?And just when you think this conversation is all about entertainment, it takes a much more serious turn. What really went wrong with security on the day Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and what happened behind the scenes during Frank's return visit?

  Can We Declare Reality? Manifestation, Affirmation, & Christian Occultism with Phoenix Hayes 08.09.2026 39мин

  Today is the day! 'The War on Reality' has officially been released, and Frank and Phoenix are celebrating by turning the spotlight on a question that might ruffle a few feathers: Can Christians fall into the same trap of trying to bend reality to fit what they want to believe?From health, wealth, and prosperity theology, to manifestation and Christian occultism, they examine popular teachings that sound biblical, but fall apart once you put them back into context. You'll learn:What is the tragic story of Franz Reichelt and what does it teach us about the limits of our words and personal beliefs?Does Proverbs 18:21 (and other related Bible verses) teach that our words have power?What do exegesis and eisegesis have to do with spotting bad theology?Why is it important to distinguish between psychological and spiritual definitions of manifestation?What's the difference between biblical prayer and trying to manipulate spiritual outcomes?What is “Christian occultism,” and could some Christians be practicing it without realizing it?How did Phoenix work her way out of Word of Faith and deliverance ministry theology?What questions can you ask someone caught up in Word of Faith or New Thought beliefs?'The War on Reality' isn’t just about confronting bad ideas in the culture. Sometimes Christians need to take a hard look at the ideas circulating inside the Church, too.

  Is Everyone Oppressed Now? Why Satan Loves Marxism with Phoenix Hayes 04.09.2026 49мин

  We’re told men can have babies, math is racist, abortion is healthcare, castrating children is also healthcare, and disagreement somehow qualifies as hate speech. How did we get here, and what do these seemingly unrelated ideas all have in common?Phoenix Hayes, co-author of 'The War on Reality', joins Frank to unpack one of their favorite chapters from the book (available for immediate download as soon as you pre-order!), and trace the ideas shaping today’s cultural madness back to the man behind the ideology: Karl Marx. Together, they answer questions like:Who was Karl Marx, and what was the darkness lurking behind his worldview?Who was Adam Smith, and how did his view of economics compare to Karl Marx?How did Marxism move from economics into race, gender, sexuality, and culture?In cultural Marxism, who qualifies as an “oppressor” or “oppressed,” and who decides?What do socialists fail to recognize about human nature?Why is mere disagreement on an issue increasingly treated as hate speech?Why does cultural Marxism often lead to violence?How did Charlie Kirk become a casualty of the war on reality?What shocking and disturbing claim did Tyler Robinson’s attorney make during the pre-trial hearing?Why do Frank and Phoenix argue that cultural Marxism is ultimately satanic and anti-biblical?If you’ve struggled to put your finger on what’s driving some of today’s most insane ideas, this is one conversation you’ll want to hear from start to finish. Be sure to pre-order your copy of 'The War on Reality' to dig even deeper, and join Frank and Phoenix again for the next episode as they tackle another chapter from the book (one that some Christians may not like)!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/Read Erika Kirk's Profound Foreword - https://thewaronreality.com/#erikaWestern Carolina University - Conspiracy Theories - https://youtu.be/rBGZo55CVBk The War on Reality - PREORDER NOW TO RECEIVE YOUR BONUSES! - https://thewaronreality.com/

  What America Forgot About George Washington with Eric Metaxas 01.09.2026 1ч 7мин

  George Washington is one of the most recognizable names in American history. But before the presidency, the monuments, and the dollar bill, he was a military leader carrying the weight of a revolution that could easily have failed.This week, Eric Metaxas joins Frank to discuss his new book, 'Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World', and why understanding Washington means understanding far more than battlefield strategy. Their conversation traces the faith, character, political philosophy, and providential moments that helped shape the American Revolution and the nation that followed. Frank and Eric tackle questions like:Why is George Washington so central to the story of the American Revolution?Why is Eric's new book titled ‘Revolution’ and not ‘The American Revolution’?Why does liberty need to be grounded in God and what Bible verse is on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia?What made Washington so deeply respected on and off the battlefield, and how did his character contribute to his success?How did the concept of a covenant with God shape the early American colonies?Why was Washington chosen over more experienced military figures like Horatio Gates and Charles Lee?How did John Quincy Adams influence Abraham Lincoln?How does the American Revolution compare to the French Revolution, and what warning does Speaker Mike Johnson have for America?Why are some people trying to rewrite American history?Why is it so hard to find Eric's book in some secular bookstores, even though it’s a bestseller?On our 250th anniversary, it's time for America’s story to come to life for a new generation.

  The Bible: A Book of "Stories" or Historical Accounts? with Dinesh D'Souza 28.08.2026 48мин

  For centuries, skeptics have argued that parts of the Bible are legend, exaggeration, or history written long after the fact. But what happens when archaeologists start finding the names, places, civilizations, and events recorded in Scripture--do those same skeptics ever change their minds?This week, author, filmmaker, and scholar, Dinesh D'Souza, joins Frank to reveal what sparked his fascination with biblical archaeology and inspired his new book, 'The Stones Cry Out'. Together, they trace the archaeological evidence through the biblical timeline, from the world of Abraham and ancient Israel to King David, the New Testament, and discoveries involving people who once existed only on the pages of Scripture. During their conversation, Frank and Dinesh investigate questions like:What first got Dinesh interested in biblical archaeology, and what's so special about Jerusalem?How is modern archaeology corroborating the Bible, and why are both pastors and archaeologists hesitant to talk about it?Has archaeology ever uncovered anything that contradicts the Bible?What are archaeological minimalists, and how did evidence for King David challenge their skeptical theories?How is it even possible to examine the historicity of Abraham and events that happened 4000+ years ago?How do Assyrian and Babylonian sources corroborate Scripture?What's so significant about the "Nomads of Yahweh" inscription, the Merneptah Stele, and the walls of Jericho?What about the Quran and Buddhist scriptures: have those been verified by any archaeological discoveries?Why is finding evidence of seemingly minor biblical characters so important?If the Bible gets history right, how does that impact the way we evaluate its claims about miracles?In the last segment, Frank and Dinesh turn their attention to Candace Owens:Is there any evidence for what Candace is saying about the murder of Charlie Kirk?Why is she persisting with such determination?What is a very important question that no one seems to be asking?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/The Stones Cry Out by Dinesh D'Souza - https://a.co/d/0gyvJ3WQThe War On Reality - PREORDER NOW TO RECEIVE YOUR BONUSES! - https://a.co/d/05LD4AfTExpedition to Reality - ONLINE COURSE - https://bit.ly/4w07MvMWestern Philosophy with Norman Geisler - ONLINE COURSE - https://bit.ly/45wxbCG

  The #1 Most Dangerous Place to Live in America with Phoenix Hayes 18.08.2026 53мин

  What happens to a culture when “my choice” becomes its highest moral authority? This week, Phoenix Hayes, co-author of 'The War on Reality', joins Frank to unpack a recent change to Massachusetts’ abortion law and the bigger cultural shift that made it possible. From linguistic theft and Church silence to slavery, racial disparities, and the biblical case for life, Frank and Phoenix aren’t shying away from the BIG questions at the center of the abortion debate like:What is linguistic theft, and how has it been weaponized in the abortion debate?Why was a pro-abortion woman squirming under questioning from Rep. Brandon Gill? (MUST SEE clip!)What beliefs and motivations helped drive Massachusetts toward increasingly permissive abortion laws?Should extreme circumstances be used to justify legalizing late-term abortions?Why have so many Christians and churches remained silent on abortion?What are the five most dangerous places to live in America, and what do they reveal about the unborn?Why does abortion disproportionately impact Black Americans?Isn't abortion just a women's issue?How should Christians (or any rational person) respond to some of the most popular arguments for abortion including size, viability, level of development, and others?Is the Bible silent on the abortion issue?The line didn’t move overnight. It moved one argument, one euphemism, and one cultural concession at a time. Frank and Phoenix reveal how we got here, why Christians can’t afford to stay silent, and how their new book, 'The War on Reality', takes the fight for truth far beyond the abortion debate.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/The War on Reality (PREORDER NOW TO GET YOUR BONUSES!) - https://thewaronreality.com/Governor Healy Signs Massachusetts Bill Allowing Abortion Up Until Birth - https://bit.ly/4hB4Fa9Congressman Brandon Gill Questions Abortion Advocate - https://x.com/RepBrandonGill/status/2049160492438917349

  Addictions? Generational Curses? How to Break Free with Allen Parr & Bobby Conway 14.08.2026 49мин

  John 8:36 states, "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." So why can the same old sins, fears, habits, and wounds keep dragging us down? Frank joins fellow apologists Allen Parr and Bobby Conway from CIA 2026 in Charlotte, NC for a candid conversation about the battles Christians don’t always like to admit they’re fighting. Drawing from their own struggles and Allen’s new book, Breaking Through, they unpack what sanctification looks like when getting saved happens in a moment, but becoming more like Christ takes a lifetime. They'll tackle questions like:If Christ sets you free, why can you still feel trapped by the same sins and bad habits?What are “soul chains,” and how can you tell if one has a grip on your life?How does God change us, and what role do we play in the sanctification process?Can Christians really be under generational curses, or is something else going on?Why are accountability and guardrails so important without turning the Christian life into legalism?What can Billy Graham teach us about avoiding temptation before the battle even starts?What are the three major traps that can derail your life, and how do you recognize them before it’s too late?What's the problem with "quick fixes" and how can they stunt your spiritual growth?If you’re ready to renew your mind, rewire destructive habits, and pursue holiness without confusing it with legalism, this conversation will help.

  "Hearing" the Voice of God - Is It Biblical? with Greg Koukl 11.08.2026 1ч 2мин

  Does the Bible teach that Christians are to listen for God’s voice to guide their decisions? For many people, such an intimacy is central to a personal relationship with God, and the core of a true Christian life. But is it biblical? Greg Koukl, Founder and President of Stand to Reason, joins the program to discuss the popular idea of "hearing from God" and what to do if you feel stuck in the mud because God's hints and whispers are not as loud as you expected. Using Scripture as his guide, Greg explains:Does the Bible teach God is “trying” to speak to each one of us?Can His efforts be thwarted by inattention, excessive activity, or sin, as some suggest?What does Scripture mean when it says Christians are “led by the Spirit”?Is silence from God a cause for concern?Is "hearing from God" a skill that can be taught or learned as Eli taught young Samuel?What is the proper context of John 10 when Jesus says, "My sheep hear my voice"?Does the Bible give us reason to expect the same interaction with God as Moses, Samuel, and Paul had with Him?What is the traditional view of Christian decision-making and how does it compare to the wisdom view?What is the most common way for God to communicate with us today?WARNING: This episode may ruffle a few feathers, but at the same time, it can be a source of great comfort. God’s desire is not about the specifics of where we go or what we do; it is about who we are and the person we are becoming.

  3 BIG Reasons Why Every Christian Should Care About Israel + Immigration with John Ferrer & Jason Jimenez 31.07.2026 49мин

  Why are so many Christians divided over Israel? And what does the Bible actually say about God's promises to the Jewish people? This week, Frank welcomes Dr. John Ferrer and Pastor Jason Jimenez, recorded on site from CrossExamined Instructor Academy 2026 in Charlotte, NC, to kick off a two-part conversation on what they call the 4 I's that Christians are struggling to think biblically about: Israel, Immigration, Islam, and Identity. In Part 1, they tackle the first two and answer questions like:What are the theological, moral, and political implications of how we approach Israel?What are the major views on the current state of Israel?Is God finished with Israel, or do His covenant promises still stand?What is the proper context of Romans 11 in regards to Israel?What Scriptures reveal God's future plan for Israel?Why should Christians support an apostate Israel?What does it mean to "bless" Israel? Should we agree with everything that Israel does?What does Paul mean when he says the Gentiles will be "grafted" into God's plan for the Church?What is the Khazar theory?How does anti-Zionism often become antisemitism?Why does it seem like the Jewish people are constantly being persecuted?Why do Christians need to understand Islam to understand Israel's actions?Why are borders important, and what does loving your neighbor actually require?The conversation doesn't end here! Join us next week as Frank, John, and Jason continue their conversation on immigration and tackle the remaining 2 I's: Islam and Identity, and explore why both are essential for Christians seeking to navigate today's culture biblically.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/EXCLUSIVE: Mike Johnson's BIG Warning for Americans (U.S. Capitol Tour) - https://youtu.be/2CRTDud6l_I Read the Hamas Charter - https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.aspWhat is Sharia Law? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3lgo9a3n5Q The War on Reality (PREORDER NOW TO GET YOUR BONUSES!) - https://thewaronreality.com/The Bible You Never Knew (BRAND-NEW ONLINE COURSE!) - https://bit.ly/4vFWkpQ

  Is America on Stolen Land? Debunking More Historical Myths with Tim Barton 28.07.2026 1ч 5мин

  Is the history of America so dark and disturbed that we need to start over? Where could we go to learn the details of what REALLY happened? Tim Barton, President of WallBuilders, returns to the program to examine the original documents behind some of America's biggest historical debates--straight from his personal collection of over 100,000 items! From slavery and the Treaty of Tripoli to Native American land claims and the biblical worldview of the Founders, Frank and Tim compare today's most popular claims with the evidence that often gets left out.Here's what you'll learn:Why is it essential to understand the meaning behind Thomas Jefferson's claim, "We hold these truths to be self-evident."?Did Frederick Douglass really believe America was fundamentally racist?Why is the Three-Fifths Compromise one of the most misunderstood parts of American history?What does the Treaty of Tripoli actually say about America being founded on Christian principles, and why is it so often quoted out of context?In 1813 what did John Adams tell Thomas Jefferson about Christianity and the founding of America in a private letter?What prompted Thomas Jefferson to learn more about Islam and what were his conclusions?Is America living on "stolen land"?Every nation is full of sin and America is no different.

  Rewriting History - Debunking the Lies You've Always Been Told About America with Tim Barton 24.07.2026 49мин

  What if some of the biggest claims you've heard about American history aren't true? For decades, Americans have been told that Christopher Columbus launched a campaign of genocide, the Founding Fathers were racist deists, and the United States was uniquely evil from the very beginning. While people of every nation have undeniably done evil (that’s why we all need a Savior), are those claims about America based on the historical record or Marxist propaganda?If you think you already know America's history, think again! This week, Frank interviews historian and President of WallBuilders, Tim Barton, who holds the nation's largest private collection of original American historical documents (totaling more than 100,000 pieces!). So Tim’s insights come from what was recorded by the founders themselves.Tune in as Frank and Tim answer questions like:What stark warning is expressed in the old Soviet Union saying, "The future is known, the past is always changing"?How did Tim and his dad collect so many original American historical documents?Why do primary documents matter more than modern summaries and secondary sources?What's true, exaggerated, or simply false about Christopher Columbus?Were America's Founders really hostile to Christianity?How has Tim helped college students recognize their blind bias against the Founders?Where did the word "slave" originally come from?Did American white people invent slavery, and how many founders owned and endorsed chattel slavery?How has Marxist propaganda reshaped the narrative of American history?When and how was slavery abolished in the United States and who first initiated the process?You've heard the accusations. But in this episode, you'll get the facts. Be sure to come back next week as Frank and Tim continue exposing some of the BIGGEST historical myths, including the idea that America is on stolen land.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/WallBuilders - https://wallbuilders.com/The American Story: The Beginnings - https://bit.ly/4bcdKlPLives, Fortunes, & Sacred Honor - (NEW BOOK!) - https://bit.ly/4fkgGzjThe War on Reality (PREORDER NOW TO GET YOUR BONUSES!) - https://thewaronreality.com/The Bible You Never Knew (BRAND-NEW ONLINE COURSE!) - https://bit.ly/4vFWkpQ
