Episode 167: Frank and Zach Turek discuss their latest book, "Hollywood Heroes" [Part 1]


Listen Later

How well do we know what interests our non-Christian friends and neighbors? How much do we know about what they enjoy or what they believe? Can we take the beliefs and interests of unbelievers to build common ground and facilitate conversations about Jesus and the Gospel? 


Our guests this week and next on the Profile, as well as we here at Watchman, say "Absolutely yes!" Author and Christian apologist Frank Turek and his son Zach join us to discuss their latest book, Hollywood Heros - How Your Favorite Movies Reveal God. They share with us how they have thoughtfully mined popular movies of the last several decades for gems of Gospel truths as well as how they use these films as vehicles for conveying apologetic arguments that might be unfamiliar to non-believers. 


Frank Turek is an award-winning author or coauthor of several books, including I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist and his latest, Hollywood Heroes (NavPress, May 2022). He hosts a weekly TV program broadcast to 32 million homes and an apologetics podcast on over 180 stations. As founder and president of CrossExamined.org, Frank speaks over 100 times per year, often to youth and college students. He has debated several prominent atheists, including the late Christopher Hitchens and Michael Shermer.


Frank Zachary Turek is a career intelligence officer in the U.S. Military. He has a master’s degree in philosophy from Southern Evangelical Seminary and is the coauthor of Hollywood Heroes with his father, Frank Turek.
