I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

Why do people remain shocked that a majority of Christians (and the nation) voted for Donald Trump? How is that voting like Jesus? This week, Frank invites Pastor Josh Howerton of Lakepointe Church in Dallas, TX to talk about Josh's recent (and somewhat controversial!) political sermon, 'How to Vote Like Jesus'.During the podcast, Frank asks Pastor Josh to answer questions like: What kind of feedback did he receive after his politically charged sermon?What are the three types of leaders that we find in the Bible and how do they relate to the recent presidential election?Who is at the top of the Political Org Chart in America, and why do Christians have a responsibility to be involved?What is the key difference between the current Democrat and Republican platforms that some Christians are overlooking?Is the Church becoming more political? Or have politics become more spiritual?Is it really necessary for Christians to vote if both candidates are morally corrupt?How can pastors effectively disciple their congregations in the area of politics?How do you respond when someone accuses you of trying to legislate morality as a Christian?Now that the election is behind us, will the American Church take advantage of God's extension of mercy on our country? Or will we once again drift into complacency? All this and more will be discussed in this entertaining and educational podcast episode!Resources mentioned during the episode:Follow Pastor Josh on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josh_howerton/Pastor Josh's sermon 'How to Vote Like Jesus': https://youtu.be/SitsLDo6X_YLakepointe Church in Dallas, TX: https://lakepointe.church/Calvin Robinson's Oxford Union Speech: https://youtu.be/ymbTb2HS5RcGeorge Barna article on 2024 Election Results: https://bit.ly/3YRHopn

This week on the podcast, CrossExamined board member Dan Hodges sits down with New Testament scholar and resurrection expert, Dr. Gary Habermas, for an in-depth exploration of the Shroud of Turin. In their discussion, Dan and Dr. Habermas examine the complex history and preservation of the Shroud, digging into why it has captivated both scholars and skeptics for decades. Together, they’ll tackle questions such as:What are the most crucial questions for assessing the Shroud’s authenticity?Could the burial cloth of Jesus truly have survived for nearly 2,000 years?What evidence supports or refutes the theory that the Shroud was created in the Middle Ages? Could it depict someone other than Jesus?How do non-biblical sources, archaeology, and medical research contribute to our understanding of crucifixion practices?What kind of event could have imprinted the image of a 6 ft., 180 lb. man on this ancient cloth? As Dr. Habermas unpacks over 40 years of Shroud research, discover why this remarkable artifact continues to be a point of discussion in Christian apologetics and Church history.Resources mentioned during the episode:Gary's website: https://garyhabermas.com/On the Resurrection, Volume 1 (Evidences) : https://a.co/d/1iufB8jOn the Resurrection, Volume 2 (Refutations): https://a.co/d/8O4Yc78
