The Surprising Connection Between Jesus & Joshua #Shorts

Cross Examined 11 hours ago

Would you compromise your Christian faith to save your job, your relationships, and your reputation? Or would you have the courage to stand up for what you believe, no matter the consequences?

On July 31, 2020, the Orlando Magic starting forward, Jonathan Isaac, was the lone NBA player not to kneel for the national anthem amid a league-wide demonstration in support of Black Lives Matter. This week, Frank sits down with Jonathan to talk through his inspirational story of faith, conviction, and courage in the face of overwhelming pressure. In this episode, you’ll learn:

-- How did Jonathan first become a Christian? 
-- What apologetics arguments solidified his quest for seeking out the truth?
-- How did Jonathan overcome panic attacks and find his true identity beyond basketball?
-- What was it like being the only player on his team not to kneel during the national anthem and how did his teammates react?
-- What kind of backlash (and unexpected blessings) followed his decision?
-- What are some of the unique psychological struggles associated with being a professional basketball player?
-- Why did Denzel Washington say "fame is a monster" and how does Jonathan stay grounded in Christ amid the fame, money, and pressure of the NBA?
-- What surprising thing happened after Jonathan was dropped by Nike?

We hope this episode encourages you to boldly live out your Christian faith, even when it’s unpopular. To learn more about Jonathan’s powerful story, grab a copy of his book, 'Why I Stand', and check out his sneaker and Christian apparel line at WeAreUnitus.com.

HELP! My "Christian" Friend Doesn't Get It | Frank Turek #Shorts

Cross Examined July 23, 2025 11:30 am

How much do you really know about Islam? Is it possible that we've never been told the full story about the historic origins of Muhammad, Mecca, and the Qur'an?

In this midweek episode, Frank continues his fascinating conversation with Islam expert, Dr. Jay Smith @pfanderfilms, who has dedicated his life to evangelizing Muslims. Together, they expose the shocking lack of historical and manuscript evidence for the Qur’an, the prophet Muhammad, and even the city of Mecca itself. Together, Frank and Dr. Smith address questions like:

-- What is the earliest manuscript evidence for the Qur’an, and why do over 2,000 variants raise serious concerns?
-- Are parts of the Qur’an based on Christian hymns?
-- Is Islam a Christian heresy?
-- Who is John of Damascus and why did he call parts of the Qur’an despicable, terrible, and evil?
-- Why did a top a Muslim scholar recently admit that we don’t have good historical evidence for anything written about what Muhammad said or did?
-- Why are most Muslim scholars so hesitant to talk about the Qur'an’s apparent problems?
-- What's the problem with the Black Stone of Mecca located in Saudi Arabia?
-- Could Islam have originated somewhere other than Mecca?
-- Is it possible that the Muhammad of Islam never existed?
-- What are the four major claims Muslims make about the Qur’an and how do they compare to Jesus and the Bible?
-- What is Dr. Smith's advice for Muslims and Christians when it comes to responding to this material?

This riveting conversation will not only expose the inconsistencies in Islam’s origin story, but also highlight the unmatched reliability of the Christian faith in contrast. We should encourage our Muslim friends to consider a better Man and a better Book--Jesus and His Word!
