How does a former militant atheist and horror filmmaker end up creating a documentary that raises the bar for Christian apologetics films for the foreseeable future? After giving a brief update on the latest Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories, Frank sits down with filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis, whose transformation from hardened skeptic to Christian apologist is as unexpected as it is compelling.Michael's new film, 'Universe Designed', premieres on SAT. 12/13 and blends cinematic storytelling with scientific and historical evidence for Christianity, offering skeptics an invitation to investigate Christianity for themselves while also giving believers a fresh tool for evangelism by exposing them to resources that most Christians aren't even aware of. Together they answer questions like:* What finally broke through Michael’s skepticism and led him to place his faith in Christ?* Which objections kept him from believing and how did he overcome those objections?* What compelled him to move from horror films to apologetics-focused documentaries?* Why do many Christian films fail to persuade skeptics, and how does 'Universe Designed' avoid those pitfalls?* How can scientific and historical evidence reshape the way Christians share their faith?* What top Christian apologists make an appearance in the film?* Why is relying solely on personal testimonies sometimes ineffective in reaching non-Christians?* Do people really go to Hell simply for not believing in Jesus?Condensing more than 36 hours of expert interviews into a focused 90-minute feature, 'Universe Designed' presents a scientific, philosophical, and historical case for Christianity unlike most films in the genre. Available on Amazon Prime and other major streaming platforms, this innovative, self-funded $150K project showcases the kind of thoughtful, high-quality filmmaking many Christians have been waiting for!If you enjoyed this podcast episode PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY BY SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY USING THE LINK BELOW. 100% of your donation goes to ministry, 0% to buildings!Resources mentioned during the episode:Donate to CrossExamined - https://donor.crossexamined.org/ (https://donor.crossexamined.org/)Mikey McCoy video - https://x.com/BlakeSNeff/status/1992007713262604499 (https://x.com/BlakeSNeff/status/1992007713262604499)Universe Designed trailer video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayU6dDtu0hU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayU6dDtu0hU) Universe Designed website - https://universedesigned.com/ (https://universedesigned.com/)

What did Jesus mean when He said the Old Testament was all about Him? Could figures like Moses, Joshua, and Joseph actually point directly to Him? Once you see how the Bible connects from Genesis to Revelation, you’ll realize it could only have been inspired by a Divine Author.Frank explains how God’s plan for redemption was woven into the very fabric of Scripture long before Jesus walked the earth as he answers questions like:* What are the three main arguments for the existence of God?* What is typology and how does it demonstrate the divine nature of the Bible?* What’s the difference between a theophany and a typology?* How can biblical interpretation be divided into three levels?* What two ways did Jesus and the apostles interpret the Bible?* How do Joseph, Moses, and Joshua each prefigure Christ?* How can the Bible's core message be explained in three sentences?* What does archaeology reveal about the events in the Book of Joshua?If the Bible isn’t true, there’s no reason to follow Jesus. But if it is, that changes everything. You’ll see why the Bible bears unmistakable marks of divine authorship—and why the evidence leaves little doubt that Jesus truly is the fulfillment of Scripture.If you enjoyed this podcast episode PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY BY SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY USING THE LINK BELOW. 100% of your donation goes to ministry, 0% to buildings!Resources mentioned during the episode:Donate to CrossExamined - https://donor.crossexamined.org/ (https://donor.crossexamined.org/)Joel Kramer: Tomb of the Exodus - https://youtu.be/mJP4pVjnWpk (https://youtu.be/mJP4pVjnWpk) The Bible You Never Knew Session #7 (only available to watch on YouTube for a limited time!) - https://youtu.be/BCGor9yAXIg (https://youtu.be/BCGor9yAXIg) Did Moses Foreshadow Jesus? - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JCeaebkOF58 (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JCeaebkOF58) What REALLY Happened at Jericho? - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fZIvYw7Ao28 (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fZIvYw7Ao28)

How did Marxism take over once-Christian universities and help fuel the kind of radicalization that led to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk? Frank sits down with Ratio Christi president Corey Miller to discuss his new book, 'The Progressive Miseducation of America', an eye-opening look at how our universities have polluted the cultural landscape we live in today and turned into breeding grounds for ideological extremism. They tackle critical questions like:* How did Corey predict the current wave of anti-Christian hostility years before it erupted?* Why did Corey need legal representation before speaking at a college in Utah?* How has Marxism made its way into the Church?* What is the core idea behind Marxism and why is it so dangerous?* How is “hate speech” being weaponized to silence biblical truth?* What is the #1 predictor of poverty in the United States?* How should Christians and the Church respond to this cultural revolution?We’re living in a time when the “free exchange of ideas” has been replaced by mobs, censorship, intimidation, and violence.
