I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

Have you noticed that the world has collectively lost its mind? Between the push to "decolonize" education and the rise of mandatory DEI training, the landscape of the American university has shifted from a place of open inquiry to a battlefield of competing ideologies. What's behind the madness?Frank catches up with Arizona State University philosophy professor, Dr. Owen Anderson, to get an update on his high-stakes hearing with the Arizona Supreme Court. Owen shares his unique perspective on how cultural Marxism continues to silence free speech, logic, and the Christian worldview in many public universities--and why he's not backing down despite the consequences. Together, Frank and Owen answer questions like:Why did Dr. Anderson make the decision to engage in a legal battle when most people would just follow the path of least resistance?Why did his case get sent to the Arizona Supreme Court?What major flaws did Dr. Anderson discover in ASU’s mandatory DEI training?Who are the “oppressed” and “oppressors” in cultural Marxism and where does Jesus fit in?Why did ASU tell Owen he needed to "decolonize" his curriculum?What are the three specific drivers of critical theory currently shaping our culture?Who is the most hated "white man" today and why? (HINT: it's NOT Donald Trump)Why is logic the ultimate weapon when confronting self-defeating ideologies?What's the irony of keeping God and objective morality out of the classroom?What advice does Owen have for Christian parents sending their kids to college?How does Romans 1 accurately diagnose our current cultural chaos?Why is the Left funding and supporting its own ideological opponents like the KKK?As critical theories continue to influence laws and the classroom, understanding their roots is more important than ever.

How are once-trusted, conservative Christian institutions like World Relief, Biola University, and Baylor drifting into wokism? This week, Daily Wire journalist, Megan Basham joins Frank to discuss new stories that have come to light since the publication of her bestselling book, 'Shepherds for Sale', and uncovers the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways Christian institutions are being infiltrated by secular ideology. Together, Frank and Megan tackle questions like:What “dirty little secret” do most people don't know about many religious NGOs (non-government organizations) that work with immigration, like World Relief?Why did World Relief condemn the Trump Administration for ordering further vetting of Afghan refugees and what happened the very next day?What does the Bible say about legal and illegal immigrants?Was Jesus a refugee?Is Biola University going woke? And why did Charlie Kirk publicly raise the alarm?What is 'Side B Theology', who are its proponents, and how does it lure believers toward sexual immorality?Why does Everett Piper believe that Christian students are better off going to secular universities?Why are some Christian schools blocking TPUSA chapters?When Christian institutions trade truth for trends, the Church must be vigilant, vocal, and ready to demand accountability. The goal isn't destruction, but restoration of the faithful institutions they've been in the past. As Proverbs 27:6 states: 'Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.' Be sure to grab your copy of 'Shepherds for Sale' if you haven't already, and stick around for the end of the program to hear what surprising project Megan is working on next!If you enjoyed this podcast episode PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY BY SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY USING THE LINK BELOW. 100% of your donation goes to ministry, 0% to buildings!Resources mentioned during the episode:Donate to CrossExamined - https://donor.crossexamined.org/Biola University Announces Official Launch of TPUSA Chapter - https://x.com/megbasham/status/1998902917642727785TPUSA vs. Christian Schools - https://bit.ly/4aTnqSKReligious NGO That Settled Afghan Shooter Condemned Trump For Additional Vetting Order - https://bit.ly/48YmPg6The Fight To Make A Christian College Christian Again - https://bit.ly/4952GVQShepherds for Sale by Megan Basham - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063413442Follow Megan on X - https://x.com/@megbashamThe Pendragon Cycle - COMING SOON to DailyWire+! - https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/pendragon/
