Silence Equals Consent: The Sin of Omission | with Bill Federer

Why do so many Christians find it acceptable to stay silent in the face of evil? The idea that politics are merely “worldly” and that disengaging from culture is the best path forward has deceived far too many Christians into falling in line with cultural norms. But if the Church continues to withdraw from what’s going on in the world, who’s going to be left in charge?

This week, historian and bestselling author Bill Federer joins Frank to discuss his latest book, ‘Silence Equals Consent -The Sin of Omission: Speak Now or Forever Lose Your Freedom.‘ In this eye-opening episode, they dive deep into the Church’s history of political indifference and explore why now, more than ever, Christians must engage with the world to preserve (religious) freedom. Together, Frank and Bill tackle key questions, including:

  • How did God address globalism in the Bible?
  • What subtle tactics has Satan used to keep Christians silent?
  • How did America’s founders draw inspiration from ancient Israel’s covenant government?
  • What happens when Christians stop speaking up and lose their influence in society?
  • How should Romans 13 be interpreted in a self-governing republic versus a monarchy?

As the future of freedom hangs in the balance, will the Church step up to make a lasting impact? Listen as Bill unpacks powerful stories from history that will challenge us to rethink how we engage with the world around us. To learn more, be sure to grab a copy of ‘Silence Equals Consent‘—a must-read for anyone curious about how faith can shape the future of our culture and our country.

What If I Don’t Like Either Candidate?

Is not voting in the 2024 presidential election a wise option for Christians who don’t like either of the candidates? When George Barna recently appeared on The Charlie Kirk Show, he revealed some troubling data indicating that as many as 41 million Christians are choosing not to vote this year because they don’t like Harris or Trump. If politics isn’t your thing or you’ve lost your enthusiasm to vote, you REALLY need to tune in!

With the election just around the corner, Frank dedicates this podcast episode to focusing on the top three questions that Christians need to consider when it comes to “religion and politics” and what history has taught us when Christians disengage from the world of politics. He also summarizes some of the helpful information you’ll find available at VoteYourFaith.net by answering questions and issues like:

  • What are the consequences when Christians don’t vote?
  • How was Jesus involved in politics, and how does that help us vote?
  • If a politician can’t save you, why vote at all? (Sorry, but you’ll see why this is a really stupid objection!)
  • Does abortion trump everything else?
  • Where do both parties stand on “the more important matters of the law”?
  • Should Christians vote for the most good or the least evil?
  • What is the Equality Act and how could it hurt our children, our jobs, and our religious freedoms?
  • Why you’re actually not voting for one person!

As you’ll be reminded during this episode, Christians have the responsibility to be involved in what’s going on in our society, and that means loving our neighbors through politics by enacting laws that protect them from evil. God calls us to be ambassadors for His kingdom and we don’t stop just because we’re not over the moon excited about our choices. God has used both righteous and unrighteous leaders all through the Bible to accomplish His good purposes, so get informed, go vote, and leave the results to God!

The Eclipse of God with | Dr. Erwin Lutzer

Is the American Church still shining as the light of Christ, or have we made too many compromises in the name of “tolerance” and “inclusion”? As darkness in our nation grows, it’s becoming clear that the faith of many has become cloudy and confused, leading to the rise of secularism and threats to the freedoms once rooted in the Christian worldview. Where are we headed, and what lessons from the past should serve as warnings for our future?

This week, Frank sits down with the one and only Dr. Erwin Lutzer about his brand new book, ‘The Eclipse of God: Our Nation’s Disastrous Search for a More Inclusive Deity (and What We Must Do About It)‘, which explores how America is attempting to redefine God, replacing Him with one made in our image. Dr. Lutzer will challenge listeners to count up the cost of being a true follower of Christ in the face of growing cultural persecution as well as expose how the redefining of God has crept into the American Church. They’ll answer tough questions like:

  • In what ways have both Christians and non-Christians attempted to make God more inclusive and “sin-friendly”?
  • Does God love people “unconditionally”?
  • Why does Dr. Lutzer refer to Marx, Darwin, and Freud as “the three grave diggers?”
  • What are the 3 critically important historical lessons that Dr. Lutzer wants to share with the American Church?
  • What can we learn from martyrs throughout Church history and how can we stand up for our biblical principles instead of giving into cultural incentives?
  • What can we do to turn the tide and prepare our children and grandchildren for what’s coming next?

This podcast episode also touches on the rise of Marxism, the gender pronoun craze, and the naivety of some Christians today when it comes to the importance of getting involved in politics. Listen as Frank and Dr. Lutzer reflect on the Church’s biblical mandate to stand against evil, and how history has shown the inevitable consequences that have occurred when the Church remained silent. Be sure to grab your copy of ‘The Eclipse of God‘ to dig deeper into this urgent call to the American Church!

Boy Swept Away by Floodwaters: Why Didn’t God Save Him? | with Dr. Clay Jones and Dan Hodges

How could a good God allow such evil, pain, and suffering to take place in this world? And why doesn’t He intervene to save good people or young children when disaster strikes? The aftermath and utter devastation caused by Hurricane Helene has many questioning, “Where is God when things go wrong”? What is the best way to address these questions and how can we find God and meaning for life in the midst of these tragic events?

Life has been especially hard for those in the western part of North Carolina since Hurricane Helene struck last week, leaving residents without access to food and water, and claiming the lives of countless victims due to unprecedented flash flooding and fallen debris. During this week’s podcast episode, Frank sits down with Dr. Clay Jones (instructor of the upcoming OCC course ‘Why Does God Allow Evil?‘) and Dan Hodges (CrossExamined Board Director and Hurricane Helene survivor) to discuss the problem of evil and some of the heartbreaking stories emerging in light of the recent storm. Frank, Clay, and Dan will answer questions like:

  • What led Clay to write one of Frank’s all-time favorite books on evil, ‘Why Does God Allow Evil?‘
  • How can ordinary people commit extraordinary evil?
  • What’s the difference between being “good” and being “nice”?
  • Why do difficult times often bring out the best in people?
  • What did Dan see and experience after the storm in WNC and how can we help the survivors and volunteers?
  • Why didn’t Jesus save 7-year old Micah who was swept away by floodwaters? What did his aunt say about that?
  • How has Clay’s personal battle with cancer impacted his writing and teaching on this topic?
  • How can you help victims with physical and spiritual needs?

 

There will undoubtedly be tough days ahead for Helene survivors as they move forward and try to pick up the pieces. This is a sobering episode, but we trust that it will not only bring hope to those who are in a dark season right now, but also remind us of the good news of the Gospel when we inevitably encounter hardships in our own lives. We know you’ll benefit from hearing even more of Dr. Clay Jones’ insights on the problem of evil, so consider signing up for the PREMIUM online course ‘Why Does God Allow Evil?‘ which kicks off soon on 10/23!

Open Borders: What Could Possibly Go Wrong? | with Hedieh Mirahmadi

How do you express concerns about illegal immigration without sounding like a racist? And is it irrational to be Islamophobic? Speaking out against open border policies can get you canceled, but should that fear outweigh the risks of unvetted, undocumented immigrants flooding into the country? Is the real goal of unchecked immigration to weaken Christianity? If so, can Christians and Conservatives do anything in an attempt to sustain the infrastructure of America before it’s too late?

Picking up right where they left off in the last podcast, Frank and Hedieh Mirahmadi continue their discussion about the potential destruction that the West is facing in light of mass immigration and the rise of radical Islam. How could America do a better job of vetting people from Muslim countries? Why is the far left’s alliance with Islam illogical? How has the Biden-Harris Administration emboldened antisemitism? Does Trump have the power to take down the Deep State if he wins the next election? They’ll tackle all these topics and much more in this special follow-up episode!

Former Undercover Counter-Terrorism Agent Speaks Out | with Hedieh Mirahmadi

With the encroaching geopolitical movement of Islam and the influx of immigrants from all over the world through our open borders, what future lies ahead for the West, and where are we when it comes to national security? Are we more vulnerable to terrorism today than we were before 9/11? Have we learned from the past, or is America on the verge of repeating history?

Buckle up for an eye-opening discussion with Dr. Hedieh Mirahmadi, a former Muslim and undercover counterterrorism operative who has served five presidents and worked with the U.S. government for over 20 years. Hedieh will share her unique insights into the U.S. efforts to combat Islamic jihadist extremism in Muslim nations along with her concerns surrounding the shift in focus from Islamic terrorism to domestic terrorism.

  • How was Hedieh originally led into Islam and how did she become an FBI informant?
  • What’s happening with immigration in the UK and what does it reveal about the potential future of the U.S.?
  • How did Islamic extremism replace mainstream Islam in places like Africa, Asia, and the Middle East?
  • Why would the CIA fund Bin Laden? And were there clear warnings in advance about 9/11 that were overlooked by government officials?
  • Is the spread of disinformation a true threat to the American people?
  • Is democracy achievable in Muslim nations? And what’s the relationship between Islam and Marxism?

Where Do Democrats Stand on Major Issues? | with Wintery Knight and Desert Rose

Christian apologists Wintery Knight and Desert Rose return to the program to continue their conversation on ‘How to Love Your Neighbor Through Politics.’ On the last episode, Knight and Rose discussed socialism, abortion, and the past voting record of Kamala Harris. Today, they cover in rapid-fire-succession where the Democratic platform stands on other “important matters of the law” (Mt. 23:23) that will affect the lives of people and the wellbeing of our country.

What is the Equality Act and what will be its negative implications on Christians and religious freedom? Why won’t price controls work? Where does the Harris administration stand when it comes to law enforcement and public safety? Is being compassionate the purpose of government? What does the current data say about immigration, sex trafficking, and open borders? What policies led to a 98.2% increase in the cost of electricity in California? And more.

Witchcraft on Campus? Dr. Owen Anderson Exposes ASU’s Anti-Christian Agenda

For this special edition midweek podcast episode, Dr. Owen Anderson returns to expose more of what’s going on at Arizona State University and how it’s specifically singling out Christian and conservative faculty members. Last week, they talked about how Owen became the target of ASU when he was ordered to accept their DEI training and change the course syllabus for his introduction to Christianity course. In this episode, they discuss the infiltration of Marxism (and witchcraft!) that Dr. Anderson has personally witnessed during his time at the largest state college in the United States.

How is the Honors College at ASU promoting witchcraft? How is Christianity the real enemy of people promoting this on campus? Why is cultural Marxism attractive to a lot of Christians and why is philosophy so important these days? Why doesn’t Dr. Anderson just quit his job and teach at a Christian school? What should students do to prepare to go to a secular university? All this and more will be discussed in this BONUS episode of the ‘I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist’ podcast!
