The Alex McFarland Show Season 5 Episode 23

In this special episode of The Alex McFarland Show, broadcasting from Montana during the 2026 Equip Retreat, Alex is joined by Christian apologist Frank Figueroa for a compelling conversation on faith, science, and the truth of God's Word. Frank shares his personal journey from Hawaii to full-time apologetics ministry and discusses why he is convinced that the biblical account of creation is both trustworthy and intellectually defensible. Together, Alex and Frank explore topics such as Genesis, intelligent design, irreducible complexity, evolution, and the importance of equipping believers to answer challenging questions about Christianity. Later in the program, Alex sits down with two young Christian leaders, Taya and Lily, who share how a personal relationship with Jesus has transformed their lives. They discuss the challenges of living out their faith in today's culture, the importance of biblical discipleship, and why young people need both spiritual mentorship and solid answers to tough questions. The episode concludes with an encouraging discussion about the growing hunger for truth among the next generation, the role of apologetics in evangelism, common questions about faith and suffering, and the hope Christians have in the return of Christ. Whether you're a parent, pastor, student, or believer seeking to strengthen your faith, this episode will encourage you to stand boldly for biblical truth and be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is within you.
