Is it possible to reason with someone who believes that corroborated evidence is part of the deception of conspiracy theories? In this episode, Frank responds to a question from a concerned husband whose marriage is under serious strain due to conspiracy theories surrounding the murder of Charlie Kirk. While discussing the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing last week, and the biblical principles surrounding gossip, deception, and false accusations, Frank tackles questions like:

Did Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John really write the Gospels? Or were these books actually anonymous from the beginning? And if they were, what would that mean for Christianity?

This week, Frank sits down with New Testament scholar Dr. Mike Licona to unpack his latest debate with Bart Ehrman, one of the world's best-known New Testament skeptics. What did Mike actually agree with Bart on? And where does he think Bart leans too heavily on speculation instead of the historical evidence? Together, they unpack Bart's biggest objections and tackle questions like:

When did "just asking questions" become enough to convict someone in the court of public opinion?

This week, Frank takes a closer look at several claims made by Candace Owens surrounding Charlie Kirk's murder and asks a simple question: What does the evidence actually show?

Join Frank and Bill as they answer questions like:

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...
