I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

Should Christians support Israel, no matter what? And why is studying the revelation of Jesus Christ so important? In part two of this follow-up conversation, Frank welcomes back Pastor Robert Furrow to go deeper into Israel’s role in prophecy and break down the major end-times views. Tune in as Frank and Robert answer questions like:

What does it mean to “bless Israel”?
Why should Christians support a secular Israel?
Is the modern nation of Israel truly connected to biblical Israel?
What is God’s long-term plan for Israel according to Scripture?
What are the key differences (and similarities) between premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism?

What was the Piltdown Man hoax?
What is the short-term and long-term fulfillment of Jesus?
Will the Church go through the Tribulation?

Is the Bible just a collection of ancient myths and fairy tales? Or did the people named on these ancient pages really walk the earth? Archaeologist and author Dr. Titus Kennedy returns to show us that history isn't just written in books. It’s buried in the dirt!
Listen (or watch!) closely as Frank and Titus investigate the "receipts" left behind by kings, queens, and commoners that demonstrate the Bible is documenting REAL history, not just parables. With Titus' new book 'Archaeology and the People of the Bible' as their guide, they tackle questions like:

Who was Tiglath-Pileser III, and what does he teach us about interpreting the Bible correctly?
How do the writings of Josephus and ancient Ugaritic epics validate the biblical text?
What seals have been found with obscure Old Testament figures stamped on them?
What Old Testament discovery forced some archaeologists out of their skepticism of the Bible's historicity?
What extra-biblical evidence exists for the notorious King Herod?
Why is Capernaum considered one of the most fascinating sites in all of archaeology?
Why did some ancient critics think Jesus was a magician?
What was so terrifying about the Assyrians that made Jonah run the other way?
Is it possible that the next big discovery is sitting dormant in the basement of the British Museum?
Who was Salome, and what's her connection to the New Testament?
What archaeological evidence do we have for the existence of the Apostle Peter and Jesus?

Archaeological discoveries continue to provide ancient attestation for those named in the Bible, showing the historical reality of their existence. While Frank and Titus can't cover all 124 figures from the book in one hour, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the evidence most people never get to see. To dive deeper into these discoveries and the people who left them behind, be sure to grab your copy of 'Archaeology and the People of the Bible' today!

Hollywood is built on the promise of fame, money, and influence. But if that’s the "dream," why does the glitz and glamour leave so many icons feeling hopeless and empty inside?

You’ve seen Rob Schneider on SNL and in box-office hits like 50 First Dates, but you've never seen him like this. From his journey to faith, to his front-row seat to the "cancel culture" wars, Rob is pulling back the curtain on what it’s like to be a Christian in an industry that’s increasingly hostile to the Gospel. You’re going to laugh (it's Rob Schneider, after all!), but you’ll also be challenged to think deeply about the cultural moment we’re living in right now. Together, Frank and Rob answer questions like:

How did Rob get started in comedy and who was his biggest inspiration?
How did he become a Christian?
Is using foul language forgivable?
What are some of the psychological challenges of being a comedian?
How does comedy help people understand truth better than a straightforward lecture?
What happens in Hollywood when you become a Christian and come out as a conservative?
Why does fame and fortune often fail to deliver actual fulfillment?
How have brave voices like Charlie Kirk, Peter Boghossian, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali inspired Rob to speak up?
Why is Rob such a history buff and what are his thoughts on the current war in Iran?
What does progressivism REALLY mean?
What surprising project is Rob working on right now?
What unexpected event happened at the 50th anniversary of SNL?

In addition to his comedy tour, Rob is the author of 'You Can Do It! Speak Your Mind America'. Stay tuned for a special LIVE event with Frank and Rob coming up next month near Charlotte, NC on MON. 4/27 at 7:30 PM ET!

Is the Church the “new Israel,” or does God still have unfinished business with Israel? Pastor Robert Furrow of Calvary Chapel Tucson joins Frank to explore key parts of Scripture that talk about Israel’s past, present, and future, and whether or not its modern state is even part of what the Bible is talking about. Tune in as they answer questions like:

How did God prophesize the current nation of Israel?
Why is Israel so central to biblical prophecy?
When the Scriptures say "last days" what does that mean?
What is the significance of Israel becoming a nation again in 1948?
What area of land was originally promised to Israel?
What is dispensationalism and is biblical?
Is there a future for Israel? Will all of Israel be saved?
Has Israel been replaced by the Church?
What does the “olive tree” analogy in Romans 11 mean?
Is Jesus coming "soon" and what should Christians focus on while waiting for His return?
