0.01-Seconds That Changed Women's Sports (and Her Life) Forever with Riley Gaines
I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEISTShow Notes
Riley Gaines Barker trained her entire life to compete at the highest level of women’s swimming. Then one race changed everything. How did 1/100 of a second in the pool turn a competitive swimmer into a national voice in one of today’s biggest cultural battles?
In this much-anticipated episode, Riley joins Frank to tell the story leading up to that moment and how it transformed her life. From competing against biological male "Lia" Thomas to confronting NCAA officials, lawsuits, protests, and even serious threats of violence, Riley shares how she unexpectedly found herself leading the charge on the front lines of truth and reality. You'll learn:
What was it like for Riley to compete against William “Lia” Thomas? What gave Riley the courage to speak up after initially remaining silent and who did she go to first? Why does Riley believe her journey into advocacy involved divine intervention? What career was Riley planning to pursue before starting a podcast and becoming a contributor to TPUSA and FOX News? What's the current status of Riley's lawsuit against the NCAA? Why is it essential for Christians to vote in the upcoming midterm elections? What terrifying event happened to Riley at San Francisco State University in April 2023 and how did university officials respond? How did Charlie Kirk personally inspire Riley and how did his tragic death impact her? How has becoming a mother changed her perspective on being a political advocate for unpopular truths? What advice does Riley have for young people?
Defending women’s sports is about much more than who gets the trophy. Don't miss this remarkable story of faith and courage and please pray for Riley as she continues to boldly speak out on this issue that is highly controversial (but wouldn’t be if more would speak up).

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!
Karl Marx and D.L. Moody were two men with radically different visions for humanity. Both witnessed poverty, injustice, and suffering, but their solutions couldn’t have been more different. So, what can these two 19th-century contemporaries teach us about the battle of worldviews we're facing today?
