Chosen & Free | Faith Forward | Frank Turek

In this episode of the Faith Forward Podcast, Pastor Micah Stephens and Garrett Backstrom welcome apologist Frank Turek for a wide-ranging discussion that tackles some of life’s biggest questions. The trio explores the origins of creation and the necessity of a first cause, the core tenets of Christianity, and thought-provoking topics like whether the crucifixion equates to divine child abuse or if free will coexists with God’s sovereignty. They debunk the idea of “following your heart,” given its fickle nature, and dive into Frank’s book Hollywood Heroes, revealing how blockbuster films echo biblical narratives—the greatest story ever told. Wrapping up, they reflect on how poverty and restricted speech have been humanity’s historical norm, urging listeners to engage in politics and the public square to preserve America’s rare freedoms of wealth and expression.
