With the recent transfer of political power, how has the current administration managed to accomplish so much in such a short time? And are these rapid changes more beneficial or more detrimental to the American people? Jorge Gil and John Ferrer temporarily take over the 'I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist' podcast to examine President Trump’s bold political moves from a nuanced, biblical perspective, tackling key questions such as:

• What is the "shock and awe" strategy, and how is Trump using it to reshape the political landscape?
• How has the political left and legacy media lost the trust of the American people, and why have they failed to regain it?
• What were Trump’s three biggest campaign promises, and has he followed through on them?
• Is Trump acting like a dictator, or have the attacks against him only strengthened his influence?
• What has Elon Musk and DOGE uncovered about government waste and corruption?
• Why shouldn't Christians put too much trust in the Trump Administration or any political party?

Tragic events like the devastating collision between American Airlines Eagle Flight 5342 and a military Black Hawk helicopter that claimed the lives of 67 innocent people shake us to our core and leave us asking deep, unsettling questions. Questions like, where was God and why would He allow this to happen?

Suffering is an unavoidable part of life, making it crucial for Christians to reconcile God's goodness with the presence of evil. This week, Frank sits down with Dr. Andy Steiger, co-creator of the new video series, 'Can I Trust the Bible?', and President of Apologetics Canada, to tackle one of the most difficult topics in apologetics: the problem of evil. During their conversation, they will answer questions like:

• Does the presence of evil disprove God?
• What does it mean to be human?
• What does it mean to love God first?
• What would happen to humanity in a fallen world without pain and suffering?
• What's a flat-tire Christian?
• Why is it important to have a high view of God?

WARNING: THIS EPISODE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES. Is Drag Queen Story Hour really about tolerance, diversity, and acceptance or is something more sinister going on? Natasha Crain returns to unpack the sobering final chapter of her new book, 'When Culture Hates You', that investigates the evils of the "sexual liberation of children" (SLC) and the subtle ways that kids (and the people who raise them) are being targeted. During this midweek podcast episode, Frank and Natasha will answer questions like:

• Who are the founders of SLC and how has their "research" infiltrated academia?
• What is the ultimate goal of Queer Theory?
• What is "childhood innocence" and why should anyone who cares for children read the research article 'Drag Pedagogy'?
• What are the three pivotal events in history that led to the SLC movement we see today?
• What did Sigmund Freud think was the ultimate purpose to life and how did he influence this disturbing movement?
• How should you respond if someone accuses you of being transphobic?
• Should we support sex-reassignment surgery if it makes some people feel happy?

Falsely billed as "family friendly", Drag Queen story hours are growing in popularity all over the country. Yet, it's of the utmost importance that parents become aware of the stated goal of these events, which is to sexualize children. You will undoubtedly feel the weight of the evil in this conversation, but hang in there, listen closely, and order your copy of 'When Culture Hates You' so that you can be informed and take action on this pressing issue!
