Did we REALLY find Noah's Ark or are millions of people being misled by internet hype? Have we REALLY found the burial box of Jesus’s brother, James? And what do jihad and progressive Christianity have to do with America's upcoming midterm elections? Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston, president and founder of Christian Thinkers, joins Frank to tackle some of the biggest controversies currently making headlines in archaeology, politics and the Church. Together, they answer questions like:

• How does progressive Christian, Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico, twist Scripture to defend his political positions?
• Is the Bible REALLY silent on abortion?
• Which is more important in the ballot box: policies or personalities?
• What does Muslim Michigan Senate Candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, get wrong about illegal immigration?
• What can Americans learn from the growing influence of Islam in the UK?
• According to his archaeology scorecard, does Jeremiah think we found Noah's ark?
• Why does every major civilization in history have a flood story?
• What is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in history related to Jesus and could it be a forgery?
• What did the Israeli Supreme Court say about this archaeological discovery?
• Why did Jeremiah recently call out Pastor Zach Lambert on social media?

"Never Again" Goes Global

w/ Vera Sharav

Could the 144,000 of Revelation be God's answer to the greatest deception in human history? Mondo Gonzales and Graham Keelan explore a provocative theory connecting the Antichrist, extraterrestrial deception, hybridization, and the final battle for humanity. Discover why Graham believes the 144,000 may play a much greater role during the Tribulation than traditionally understood.

A lot of people feel like the country is stuck in permanent decline, but the stories we bring on Good News Friday push back on that narrative with specifics you can verify. Rick Green, David Barton, and Tim Barton walk through a stack of headlines at the intersection of faith and culture, looking at what changes when leaders actually enforce laws, clean up broken systems, and tell the truth about what works.

We start with immigration and naturalization: a sharp drop in citizenship approvals paired with a clearer standard. Instead of open-ended processing, we talk through expanded background checks, the return of a more rigorous civics test, and the argument that citizenship is a privilege that comes with responsibilities. We also connect the dots to real-world pressures like housing availability, jobs, and assimilation.

From there, we dig into a DOJ report showing violent crime and property crime falling, plus why prosecution and public safety policy matter in everyday life. Then we cover a massive cleanup of Social Security records, why missing death dates and citizenship data invite fraud, and how basic accountability can protect the safety net.

Finally, we hit two culture stories: unexpected signs of Christian revival reaching even the rock music world, and a new THC study suggesting some “relaxation” benefits may be placebo-driven.
