God the Artist: What You Never Knew About David & Goliath
I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEISTShow Notes
"God can slay the giants in your life!" Is that REALLY the moral of the story when it comes to the infamous historical account of David and Goliath? Get ready as Frank peels back the curtain and reveals the hidden meaning behind the Bible's most famous showdown in 1 Samuel 17. Tune is as he digs into the history, archaeology, and related Bible verses from this remarkable victory while answering questions like:
What is biblical typology, what are some examples, and why is it important? Does archaeology correlate with the biblical accounts of Goliath and the existence of giants? How does David's role as Israel's champion point to Jesus? If David points to Jesus, to whom is Goliath pointing? Why did David take Goliath's head to Jerusalem? What is the first prophecy in the Bible and how does it relate to David and Goliath? What are chiasms and how do they demonstrate the divine nature of the Bible? Which Bible verses help us understand the deeper meaning behind this historical account? How do you summarize the Bible in 3 short sentences? Why did God weave prophecy into history instead of spelling everything out plainly? How is the Bible the greatest apologetics tool of all time? What do the Bible's thousands of cross-references reveal about its remarkable design?
If you've ever wondered how the Old Testament connects to the New Testament, this episode brings the pieces together in a fascinating way. Once you see what's happening beneath the surface of David and Goliath, you will never read it the same way again!

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!
