How to Give Evidence of the Resurrection WITHOUT Using the Bible with Allen Parr

What if you’re talking to someone who flat-out rejects the Bible despite its historic credibility—can you still make a good case for the Resurrection? The answer is…YES!

Popular Christian YouTuber, Allen Parr from The B.E.A.T., joins Frank from CIA 2025 to explore some of the most convincing evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. While the New Testament documents have proven to be reliable and trustworthy, Frank and Allen demonstrate how extra-biblical sources can guide skeptics toward the historical truth of Christianity—even if they don’t trust the Bible (yet!). They’ll answer questions like:

  • What two facts must be established in order for Christianity to be true?
  • Why do many skeptics like Bart Ehrman trust the New Testament documents as having historically reliable information?
  • What are the five strongest pieces of biblical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus?
  • Could the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus be explained by hallucinations?
  • What’s an important question to ask someone who says they don’t trust the Bible?
  • What are 6 facts that non-Christian sources confirm about the historical Jesus?
  • What is the “minimal facts” argument and how does it help defend the Christian faith?
  • What are 5 alternative theories to the resurrection and are any of them valid?
  • Is a transformed life the strongest argument we have for Christianity?

Whether you’re talking to a skeptic, a curious friend, or even a Christian with doubts, this episode will equip you with historical tools to build confidence in the resurrection—without needing to quote the Bible first!

How to Make Disciples in the 21st Century | with Allen Parr

Are you possibly underestimating your ability to go out and make disciples? Imagine if every Christian invested in the spiritual growth of just one other person. How could that affect our local churches, local communities, and ultimately the spreading of the Gospel?

In this midweek podcast episode, popular Christian influencer and author of the new book ‘Misled‘, Allen Parr, sits down with Frank at the 2023 CIA conference to share how he went from being a part-time math tutor to growing a massive ministry platform on YouTube. Frank and Allen also talk about the issues of spiritual immaturity and the lack of discipleship within our churches, touching on questions like:

  • What are some practical ways to begin making disciples?
  • How did discipleship save Allen from making a MAJOR mistake in life?
  • Why has discipleship historically been so difficult within the church?
  • What process does Allen go through to choose video topics and create engaging content?
  • How did creating LESS videos content each month impact his channel for the better?

With more than a million subscribers on his YouTube channel, ‘The B.E.A.T.’, Allen has mastered the art of communicating the Gospel online through humor, hot topics, conciseness, and most importantly, sound doctrine. But as you’ll hear throughout the episode, it doesn’t take a huge platform to make a huge difference in someone else’s life. Sometimes it just takes a willingness to fulfill the Great Commission by doing something as simple as making a phone call or meeting someone for coffee.

Misled: 7 Lies That Distort the Gospel (and How You Can Discern the Truth) | with Allen Parr

Are you unknowingly being misled by false teachers or by misunderstanding certain passages in the Bible? One of the problems with being deceived or misled is that you are unaware that deception is taking place. How can you be assured that you are being led properly so that you can avoid being deceived?

In today’s podcast episode, Frank sits down with popular Christian YouTuber and Dallas Theological Seminary graduate, Allen Parr, to discuss his online ministry and the motivation behind his brand-new book, ‘Misled: 7 Lies that Distort the Gospel (and How You Can Discern the Truth)’. Listen as Allen shares one of his own personal experiences of seeing how false doctrine negatively impacted a dear friend. Frank and Allen also touch on questions like:

  • Where did the “Prosperity Gospel” come from?
  • Are physical healing and wealth promised to all believers?
  • Can Christians lose their salvation?
  • How has prophecy been misused?
  • What 3 C’s should Christians remember to avoid misinterpreting the Bible?

Sadly, very few churches teach Christians how to properly interpret the Bible. Allen is actively using this book, his online courses, and his Youtube channel ‘The B.E.A.T’ (which stands for ‘Biblical Encouragement and Truth’), to clear up as many false teachings as possible. Allen Parr will join CIA this year as a course instructor, so consider attending CIA to strengthen your presentation skills!
