Many people seem confused about what socialism is and whether or not it would be better than America’s capitalistic system.  If there’s one book you should read on this—in fact, it’s one of the best books on economics you’ll read anywhere—is the new edition of Money, Greed and God: The Christian Case for Free Enterprise by Dr. Jay Richards.  On this show, Frank interviews Jay and gets clear answers to these questions:

  1. What are Socialism, Marxism, and communism and how do they differ?
  2. Shouldn’t Christians be communists based on the early believers communing their resources in the book of Acts?
  3. We hear that socialism works in Sweden.  Is that true?
  4. Why doesn’t socialism work?
  5. Why do you think so many young people are attracted to a failed system?
  6. Isn’t capitalism based on greed?  How can Christians be for it?
  7. We hear a lot about income inequality. Is that a bad thing, and, if so, what can be done about it?
  8. When politicians use the phrase “paying your fair share”, what standard are they using to determine what is fair?
  9. Our welfare system actually pays women to have kids out of wedlock.  How do we improve the safety net to prevent that from happening?
  10. Why does religious and economic liberty fall together?
  11. The two industries in which the government controls significantly are education and health care.  Why are prices high and quality low in those industries?
  12. You say that no one person at Apple, including CEO Tim Cook, knows how to make an iPhone.  What does this say about the difference between socialism and free-market capitalism?

Frank attended two meetings with candidate Donald Trump in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election. The first meeting in Trump Tower is the subject of the new article in RollingStone Magazine in which Frank is quoted twice. This podcast is Frank’s response to that article, particularly the article’s audacious assertion that Donald Trump is a standard-bearer for American Christians. Frank highlights what the article gets wrong, what the media, in general, gets wrong about evangelical Christianity, and then offers five reasons why most evangelical Christians voted for Donald Trump. Regardless of what you think about Trump, Christianity or politics, this show will help you have better conversations with people as we enter an election year.

Is Chick-fil-A Chicken? And your questions

Podcast: Play in new window

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | iHeartRadio | Blubrry | Email | TuneIn | RSS

Jesus said that you can’t serve both God and money.   It looks like Chick-fil-A may be sacrificing God for money.  Under pressure from LGBTQ activists, they’ve decided to stop supporting the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  They say they want to focus their charitable giving “in areas of education, homelessness, and hunger.”

Newsflash:  That’s exactly what the Salvation Army and FCA do!

Now, Chick-fil-A can give or not give to whomever it wants.  But don’t say the reason you’re not giving to the SA or FCA is that you want to focus your giving on exactly what those organizations are already doing! There must be something else going on here.

Join Frank as he investigates that and answers questions on:

  • Theistic evolution: Is macroevolution compatible with the scriptures?  Is there scientific support for macroevolution?
  • What can we conclude from the thousands of New Testament manuscripts?
  • Why didn’t the Egyptians report the Exodus?
  • Will we have free will in Heaven?

Guilty by Reason of Insanity with David Limbaugh

How do you get informed as to what is going on in our crazy political discourse right now? I can’t keep up with it all. I not only can’t keep up with it all, but I also forget what happened politically last week, and last month, and last year. I need someone to document it all for me so I can make informed decisions as we enter an election year. New York Times best-selling author, David Limbaugh, has done so with his new, exquisitely researched book, Guilty by Reason of Insanity. David covers a wide range of topics—racism, gender, intersectionality, socialism, capitalism, abortion, immigration, religious freedom, etc.— that should be important to all people, especially Christians. No matter what you believe politically right now, you should read David’s amazingly insightful book and listen to this interview!

Major Moral Argument Mistakes (Part 3)

Frank continues his detailed response to a retired attorney who objects to the moral argument.  People often find this the most personally relevant argument for God, and that’s perhaps why atheists often object to it the most.  However, Frank points out, their objections are often due to misunderstandings or misapplication of evolutionary theory to morality.  Listen to this and the first two parts to make sure you’re ready to give a reason for the hope that you have (1 Pet. 3:15).

Major Moral Argument Mistakes (Part 2)

How good is the moral argument?  A retired attorney wrote Frank asserting that we don’t need God for objective morality.  Some of his challenges can be summarized in the following questions:

  • Does the moral argument depend on everyone agreeing on right and wrong?
  • Can human beings construct an objective moral standard independent of God? Couldn’t the majority vote do that?
  • Are God’s commands based on God’s desires?
  • Are they based on God’s authority?
  • Can’t evolution explain morality?
  • Do changing views on morality mean there is no objective morality?
  • What about moral dilemmas? Do they show morality is relative?

Join Frank as he continues his response to these challenges.

Join Frank as he goes into depth on these and other questions.  In fact, this show starts with an analysis of one Presidential candidate’s claim that a church’s tax-exempt status should be revoked if it fails to embrace same-sex marriage.  Does this align with the Constitution?  And why are churches tax-exempt anyway?
