The most influential apologist of the 20th century was once a hardened atheist. How did C.S. Lewis convert to become such a force for Christianity? Max McLean, writer and star of the brilliant new movie, "The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis" joins Frank for a fascinating discussion that answers that question and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the movie. Max becomes C.S. Lewis several times during this discussion to reveal what arguments and experiences ultimately brought Lewis to faith in Christ. Go to www.CSLewisMovie.com to see this great film. You can even schedule a special screening for your church or class. Well worth it! Subscribe on Apple Podcast: http://bit.ly/CrossExamined_Podcast Rate and review! Thanks!!!

If God is all-good and all-powerful, why doesn’t He stop evil? Maybe it’s because an all-good and all-powerful God doesn’t actually exist! That’s what some atheists will claim. In this show, Frank addresses that claim and these questions: * Does evil disprove God? * If not, what is God’s purpose for evil? * Why does God allow evil that seems to have no purpose? * What is God’s ultimate solution to evil? This show offers one of the most profound insights that Frank learned while lamenting the fact that so much evil seems pointless. Why, for example, does a baby die when the entire church prays he won’t? What possible good can come out of a baby dying? Listen for the answer to that and several other perplexing questions.

With so many people skeptical about God and the Bible, how can you actually show Christianity is true? In this podcast, Frank will show you how by summarizing the case he normally gives in his “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist” presentation. The 4 questions that must be answered are these: * Does Truth Exist? * Does God Exist? * Are Miracles Possible? * Is the New Testament telling the Truth about the Resurrection of Jesus? In just 48 minutes, Frank provides evidence to show that the answer to these 4 questions is “Yes.” For a more complete presentation, get the book.

What is socialism and why doesn’t it work? In this special podcast, Frank shows that socialism doesn’t work because it ignores economics 101 in ten ways. It ignores basic truths about: * Private Property (it drives economics) * Rule of Law (necessary for a robust economy) * Free Enterprise (increases value) * Competition (motivates innovation & quality) * Self Interest and Service (creates wealth, not greed) * Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand (can’t be led top-down) * Free Rider Problem (human nature) * Ripple Effect (economics is not a static system) * Supply & Demand (can’t be dictated) * Scarcity (quarterbacks vs. teachers) Frank also addresses the claim that since early Christians lived in a communal way in the book of Acts shouldn’t we? All of these topics are covered in much more depth in the new online course: Jesus vs. the Culture: Who do you Trust? available at CrossExamined.org.

In this special show done on Valentine’s day, Frank unpacks the difference between “being in love” and loving someone. Too many people think that once the feeling of “being in love” is gone that the relationship is over and they need to find someone else. But if we blindly followed our fleeting feelings we would blow up our lives and the lives of those around us. Love actually seeks what is best for the loved one and vows to behave in a loving way. Marriage vows are not about feelings but behaviors. Frank shares from C.S. Lewis and the Bible to help us develop better relationships rather than follow fleeting feelings.
