What No One Ever Told You About the Book of Revelation with Dr. Chip Bennett & Dr. Warren Gage

 

What’s the true meaning of the Book of Revelation? Is it only about the end times, or have we overlooked its deeper roots in the Old Testament? For centuries, Christians have wrestled with its symbols and prophecies—could it be that we’ve been missing the bigger picture?

This week, Frank welcomes Dr. Chip Bennett, pastor of Grace Community Church in Sarasota, FL along with his mentor and biblical scholar, Dr. Warren Gage, to reveal the often-ignored historical and theological context behind the Book of Revelation. Tune in as Frank, Chip, and Warren explore how early Christians—and the Church Fathers—understood this mysterious book and what modern readers might be missing. Together, they’ll tackle questions like:

  • What’s the surprising connection between the Book of Joshua, Jesus, and the Book of Revelation?
  • Is Revelation a book of fear or a book of hope?
  • What’s the meaning behind the Two Witnesses and Jesus calling Himself “the door”?
  • How are stories like Rahab and Isaac prophetic pictures of Christ?
  • How is Scripture one of our greatest apologetic tools?
  • What did the early church fathers say about the Book of Revelation?
  • Why didn’t John Calvin write a commentary on Revelation and is it a completely futuristic book?

Discover how the original recipients of Revelation would have read it, and why modern day readers need to recover a historical hermeneutic to understand it properly. This is a must-hear conversation for any and all Bible readers so don’t keep it to yourself–share it with a friend to help them connect the dots!

Scientific Evidence for the Soul with Neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor

 

Is there scientific proof of the soul? And if science is all about what can be measured, how do we explain things like consciousness, free will, and near-death experiences? This week, we’ll explore one of the most profound questions of human existence: are we just matter, or something more?

Joining Frank in this eye-opening podcast episode is Dr. Michael Egnor, a practicing neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and Professor of Neurosurgery at Stony Brook University. In his new book, ‘The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul‘, co-authored with Denise O’Leary, Dr. Egnor draws from over 7,000 brain surgeries and decades of experience to challenge the popular materialist view of the human person. Together, Frank and Michael will tackle questions like:

  • How did a spiritual experience involving his son change Dr. Egnor’s worldview?
  • What is the scientific evidence for the soul and the mind?
  • Is there a difference between the mind and the brain?
  • What do conjoined twins and patients with missing brain parts reveal about consciousness?
  • How are verifiable Near Death Experiences evidence for the soul?
  • Why do most neuroscientists still cling to materialism despite contrary evidence?

From fascinating case studies to philosophical insights from Aquinas and Aristotle, this episode will challenge the materialist narrative that you are just your brain. If you know someone who’s scientifically minded but open to deeper questions about human nature, this book is a must read!

What Do Critical Scholars Admit About Jesus? with Dr. Gary Habermas

 

Resurrection expert Dr. Gary Habermas returns to discuss Volume 3 of his magnum opus, ‘On the Resurrection: Scholarly Perspectives‘, which includes 500+ scholarly treatments related to the resurrection. From far-left critics to conservative theologians, this collective volume provides a strong overview of everything that has ever been written about the resurrection and includes over 8,000 footnotes!

During their conversation, Frank and Gary answer questions like:

  • Why do critical scholars deny miracles but still affirm that Jesus was a miracle worker?
  • Why does Gary think many atheists don’t want to say “I do” to Jesus?
  • Is biblical inerrancy a requirement for the Gospel and what about apparent Bible contradictions?
  • What are the 3 things you need in order for Christianity to be true?
  • How do you respond to those who say the deity of God evolved over time?
  • What do creeds teach us about high Christology and how did it get started?
  • What’s the best explanation for the rapid growth of early Christianity?

If you’re looking for the most comprehensive survey of scholarship for and against the resurrection, this is it! Whether you’re a skeptic, seeker, or committed believer, this discussion offers rich insight and a reason to take the resurrection seriously. As Gary would say, “It’s a bold argument to say that Jesus rose from the dead, but try to get out of it!”

Do Naturalistic Alternatives to the Resurrection Work? with Dr. Gary Habermas

 

If God exists and Jesus rose from the dead, then Christianity is true. Case closed! However, there are still those who offer alternative explanations for the empty tomb despite the evidence for the resurrection. What are these theories and do they withstand critical analysis?

This week, Frank sits down with Dr. Gary Habermas, the world’s leading resurrection scholar to discuss, ‘On the Resurrection: Refutations‘, the second volume of his magnum opus–a massive 4-volume project nearly 40 years in the making. From second-century texts that seem to challenge the resurrection to modern skeptical scholars like Bart Ehrman, Gary will uncover why naturalistic explanations for the empty tomb simply don’t hold up. Tune in as Frank and Gary answer questions like:

  • Who was David Hume and why do so many modern atheists still lean on his centuries-old arguments?
  • What was Hume’s actual argument against miracles, and how did C.S. Lewis respond?
  • Are there any good arguments for naturalism or materialism?
  • Why did former skeptic Antony Flew become a theist before he died?
  • What are the top 5 reasons naturalistic explanations for the resurrection fail?
  • What are the 4 best arguments in favor of an afterlife?

If you’re looking for the most well-researched scholarship to refute common resurrection objections, you won’t find a better resource than this! Be sure to pick up your own copies of Gary’s amazing work and stay tuned for the next podcast where he’ll return to discuss even more insights from his life’s work on the resurrection!

Have You Succumbed to Stockholm Syndrome? with Dr. John G. West

What if American culture isn’t collapsing because of crusading secularists? What if it’s failing because many leading Christians identify more with secular elites than with their fellow believers? Those are the provocative questions posed by ‘Stockholm Syndrome Christianity‘, a new book which exposes how influential Christian leaders are siding with their anti-Christian cultural captors on everything from biblical authority and science to sex, race, and religious liberty.

This week, Frank sits down with Dr. John G. West—author and Vice President of the Discovery Institute—to uncover why some of the most influential Christian voices seem to be echoing the values of secular culture rather than confronting them. Why are professing believers going soft on issues that Scripture speaks clearly about? In this eye-opening conversation, Frank and John tackle some uncomfortable but necessary questions like:

  • How did Stockholm Syndrome get its name and what does it reveal about human nature?
  • Why are some believers supporting secular policies that contradict biblical truth?
  • What’s really at stake when Christians abandon truth in the name of “love”?
  • How can parents discern whether a “Christian college” is truly grounded in Christ—and what 10 critical questions should they ask?
  • How have high-profile figures like Francis Collins, Russell Moore, and David French used their influence to advocate for unbiblical policies while demonizing some Christians?
  • Are conservatives too harsh or just unwilling to capitulate? And what can faithful followers of Jesus do to push back against ‘Stockholm Syndrome Christianity’?

Going beyond critique, the book identifies root causes and—most crucially—offers practical tips and strategies you can use to help your family, church, and community stand for truth. Read this book to become part of the solution and discern when and where to draw the line between faith and culture.

Monsters Inside Me: A Riveting Love Story to Death and Back

What happens when a Christian psychiatrist wants to marry a “spiritual” Richard Dawkins atheist—and then a medical crisis changes everything? When a fun trip to Hawaii turned into a life-threatening medical emergency involving 17 doctors, multiple organ failures, and a medically induced coma, all hope seemed lost. But what happened next was nothing short of miraculous!

Join Frank as he sits down with Garrett & Aja Halweg, a married couple that formed a powerful union against all odds! Tune in as they share their story of Garrett’s brush with death, Aja’s testimony of becoming a Christian, and how both of these events ultimately led them to become powerful ambassadors for Christ (and appear on Animal Planet)! Tune in as they unpack their story and answer questions like:

  • How did Garrett and Aja initially form a strong connection despite their opposing worldviews?
  • Why did doctors misdiagnose Garrett and how did God supernaturally reveal the true cause of his life-threatening illness to Aja?
  • What series of events led to Aja’s conversion and baptism?
  • Why did Aja experience a post-conversion crisis of faith and what role did apologetics play in strengthening her new belief in Christianity?
  • Why does Garrett believe that God allowed him to get sick?
  • How did Aja maintain peace throughout Garrett’s time in the hospital?
  • What troubling scenes did Garrett see during his near death experience, and how did Biola & Talbot professors help him to process this traumatic encounter with the unseem realm?

Garrett and Aja Halweg’s testimony is a powerful display of God’s sovereignty, love, and healing in the midst of a terrifying test of faith. You’ll hear how their story caught the attention of the hit TV show, ‘Monsters Inside Me‘—and how God used tragedy to draw both of them closer to Him and to each other. This is more than a near-death experience. It’s a front-row seat to the supernatural work of God. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, and you definitely won’t want to miss this amazing story of God’s providence!
