I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

Non-birthing persons, pregnant men, using racism to fight racism, and Marxist ideologies that keep everyone in a perpetual state of outrage and victimhood… Ever feel like you’re in the minority when it comes to keeping your feet planted in reality? You’re not! This week, Frank welcomes his co-author, Phoenix Hayes, to discuss their new book (now available for pre-order!), 'The War on Reality', which they wrote to help Christians identify the ideologies and tactics used to try and rewrite reality but that ultimately lead to despair and brokenness. You'll learn:
What is the difference between reality and truth?
Why did Frank and Phoenix write this book and how did it all come together?
Why is it dedicated to Charlie Kirk?
What is Frank's favorite chapter of the book and how can you get a sneak peek?
Why is the question, "Does God exist?" THE most important question anyone can answer?
Why is it important for Christians to understand today's moral and cultural issues?
What are some of the biggest problems with A.I.?
Should Christians be involved with politics?
How have public schools and universities contributed to the current cultural chaos?

Pre-ordering now is a massive help because it builds the early momentum needed to get the word out, ensuring this vital resource reaches as many people as possible, including non-Christian bookstores. Not only that, you’ll also receive some fun bonuses, including instant access to one of the key chapters and an upcoming LIVE Q&A session with Frank and Phoenix!

Dr. John Ferrer and Pastor Jason Jimenez return for Part 2 of their "4 I's" series to tackle one of today's most controversial issues by asking one simple question: What does the Bible REALLY say about open borders and immigration? You'll learn:

What are the 3 key distinctions between legal and illegal immigrants in the Old Testament?
Aren't open borders compassionate and based on Christian ideals?
Does the Church and the government have the same responsibility regarding how we treat immigrants and protect borders?
How does illegal immigration exploit immigrants?
What questions can you ask someone who is pro-open borders?
What are the 3 institutions that God created and what are their roles?
What's more concerning, Christian Nationalism or Sharia Law?
What should we do as Christians if we know someone who is an illegal immigrant?

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.

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. But what makes America uniquely different and prosperous is the influence of Christianity, which is always worth celebrating. For more information, be sure to check out Frank and Tim's previous conversation from last week, along with the amazing resources available at WallBuilders.com!

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.
