Top 10 Reasons We Know the New Testament Writers Told the Truth
I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEISTShow Notes
Can we REALLY trust the New Testament writers? How do we know they were telling the truth about Jesus' resurrection and not just passing along an invented story? The brand-new updated edition of 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist' is officially available TODAY after the first edition sold over half a million copies.
By God’s grace, the book has been successful because it shows people why the Bible is true in a systematic manner, building the case through easy-to-graph evidence, while addressing all major objections each step of the way. This new edition adds even more evidence and responds to objections that have arisen over the past 22 years. In this episode, Frank examines some of the strongest evidence that the New Testament writers were telling the truth, straight from one of the chapters in the updated book.
Tune in as he tackles questions like: Why does Wes Huff surprisingly call Jesus' disciples the "duh-ciples"? Why is it significant that women were the first witnesses to the empty tomb? Is it possible the disciples stole Jesus' body while the guards were sleeping? What do name trends have to do with the reliability of Scripture? Do differences between the Gospel accounts undermine their credibility or strengthen it? What's the difference between establishing historicity vs. inerrancy? What are "undesigned coincidences," and how do they support the reliability of the New Testament? Why didn't the Gospel writers exaggerate their accounts of Jesus' miracles? Could the New Testament be an elaborate work of historical fiction?
If the Gospel writers were making it all up, they certainly had a strange way of doing it! Listen as Frank unpacks why their accounts are worth trusting, and grab your copy of the newly updated, 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist' (with 30% new content!) to discover even more evidence why Christianity is the most reasonable worldview.

If someone becomes wealthy does that automatically mean that someone else will become poor? It seems that some Americans need a refresher course in basic economics! This week, Frank is joined by Dr. Jay Richards, author of 'Money, Greed, and God', to make the Christian case for capitalism and free enterprise. With socialism gaining popularity among young Americans, Jay challenges some of the biggest misconceptions about wealth, poverty, and economic inequality. Tune in as Frank and Jay tackle questions like: What's the difference between socialism, democratic socialism, and communism? How did billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos become so wealthy, and does their success come at anyone's expense? Isn't Sweden a socialist utopia? Is socialism taught in the Book of Acts? Should the wealthy pay more income taxes? What government policies are contributing to the rising costs of housing, education, and healthcare? Is it true that capitalism is fueled by greed, while socialism is fueled by love? What does something as simple as a pencil reveal about how market systems work?
Why is Ken Ham picking a fight with Frank about the age of the universe? We all know the Word of God is inerrant, but is Ken’s interpretation of the Bible inerrant? Tune in as Frank responds to Ken's recent video that criticizes what Frank teaches about creation and answers questions like:
Have you ever heard a pastor say, "I just want to preach the Gospel," or "Christians shouldn't get involved in politics"? It sounds spiritual, but is staying out of politics really the biblical thing to do?
What's going on at Baylor University? After exposing the administrative roadblocks that led to the cancellation of a recent college tour event, Frank returns to address some anticipated objections and dig even deeper into his concerns about the university. He'll address questions like:
What happens when a university that claims to stand for Christianity makes it nearly impossible to host an event defending the truth of the Christian faith? And could it possibly involve extortion? That's exactly what happened to us earlier this week (for the first time in 20 years of college visits!), and Frank is bringing the receipts!
