    63+ Million Reasons to Join The White Rose Resistance | with Seth Gruber

    63+ Million Reasons to Join The White Rose Resistance | with Seth Gruber

    Does today's culture value human life like our Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, did when he penned the Declaration of Independence? According to statistics compiled by the National Right to Life organization (https://www.nrlc.org/uploads/factsheets/FS01AbortionintheUS.pdf), there have been approximately 63+ million abortions performed in the United States since 1973. While there's no doubt that Jefferson was fully committed to the concept of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens, many Americans today have been deceived into believing that the right to life only applies to life outside the womb. But if the unborn don't truly hold these inalienable rights as described in our founding documents, does anyone else?Last month (https://crossexamined.org/the-1916-project-with-seth-gruber), pro-life speaker Seth Gruber (https://sethgruber.com/) joined Frank to talk about his brand-new book (and a documentary of the same name), 'The 1916 Project: The Lyin’, The Witch, and the War We’re In (https://the1916project.com/)', and to unpack the life of Margaret Sanger and how her death-obsessed legacy continues to cripple modern society. As a continuation of their last conversation, Seth returns to tell us about the fastest-growing pro-life non-profit organization in America, The White Rose Resistance (https://thewhiterose.life/), its inspirational backstory, and why the Church must speak out and be courageous in a hostile culture, no matter the cost. How did we drift so far away from the right to life? Is racism America's original sin? How did Gnosticism influence Margaret Sanger's worldview? What is the danger of spiritual atrophy, and how can you avoid falling into it? You don't want to miss the shocking answers to these questions in this jaw-dropping follow-up episode!To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, join our CrossExamined private community (https://community.crossexamined.org/).

    Jacob, Joseph, and Jesus: EVEN MORE "Third Day" References in the Old Testament | with Dr. Chip Bennett

    Jacob, Joseph, and Jesus: EVEN MORE "Third Day" References in the Old Testament | with Dr. Chip Bennett

    Is the whole of Scripture just a disorganized collection of conflicting documents? Some scholars think so, claiming it to be a battleground for historical contradictions. But what if it's a carefully orchestrated thread woven together and preserved by the Divine Author?Just a few episodes ago, Dr. Chip Bennett (https://www.youtube.com/@drchipbennett) wowed listeners with his insights into the resurrection themes and third-day narratives from the Old Testament. For this midweek podcast episode, Chip returns to dive deeper into the Hebrew Bible and uncover how the Messianic prophecies are intertwined with the tales of patriarchs like Jacob, Joseph, Joshua, and Judah. How do some of our daily routines point to the resurrection? Can the story of Cinderella shed light on the Gospel? How does the third day relate to life and death motifs? All these questions and more will be answered at the conclusion of this special three-part series.

    The 1916 Project | with Seth Gruber

    The 1916 Project | with Seth Gruber

    How did things like third-trimester abortions, infanticide, euthanasia, critical race theory, transgender ideology, and drag queen story hour become embedded in modern American culture? In an age where children are exposed to pornographic material in their own school libraries and concerned parents are labeled as "domestic terrorists," where can we find the root cause of the underlying worldview that's currently dominating our society? And how did we end up here so quickly? The answers may shock you!In what may be one of the most controversial and revelatory podcast episodes to date, Frank interviews pro-life speaker Seth Gruber (https://sethgruber.com/), author of the book (https://white-rose-resistance.myshopify.com/products/book) and soon-to-be-released documentary called 'The 1916 Project (https://the1916project.com/)', which explores how abortion became the linchpin of secularism and how it's destroying western civilization. As founder of the fastest-growing pro-life non-profit organization in America, The White Rose Resistance (https://thewhiterose.life/), Seth's jaw-dropping research has uncovered the dark history of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, and her disturbing, undeniable connection to Nazism, Darwinism, the Jewish Holocaust, and even BLM! During their conversation, Frank and Seth will answer questions like:* What's so important about the years 1916 and 1619?* What is eugenics, and why did Margaret Sanger specifically target black Americans?* Is politics just a front for false religion, and what were Sanger's views on Christianity?* Why does Planned Parenthood sponsor the distribution of puberty blockers and porn in children's libraries?* What is the connection between the abortion pill and the gas used in the Nazi gas chambers?* What's George Floyd got to do with it?* How can you contend for life in a culture of death?* Where can you catch a viewing of the film 'The 1916 Project'?This episode is rated PG-13, so please proceed with caution if you have young children in the room! No stone will be left unturned in this eye-opening conversation that will shed light on Sanger's satanic religious and political views, America's journey to "progressive" regression, and how you can fight for the future of the nation and the unborn. Pre-order your copy of 'The 1916 Project (https://white-rose-resistance.myshopify.com/products/book)' today and be on the lookout for an upcoming podcast episode where Seth will return to dive even deeper into this topic!To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, be sure to join our CrossExamined private community (https://community.crossexamined.org/).

    Moses, Joshua, and Jesus: MORE "Third Day" References in the Old Testament | with Dr. Chip Bennett

    Moses, Joshua, and Jesus: MORE "Third Day" References in the Old Testament | with Dr. Chip Bennett

    Where can we find the concept of the third day being played out in the Old Testament? Esther, Isaac, Daniel, Jonah, and even Goliath point to the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But how do the stories surrounding these Old Testament figures relate to events in the New Testament that occurred both before and after the resurrection of Jesus? Once you see all of these connections, you won't be able to unsee them!Last week, podcast listeners were blown away by Dr. Chip Bennett (https://www.youtube.com/@drchipbennett)'s exposé of how Jesus is revealed in the Old Testament. And for this midweek podcast, he returns to unpack significant parallels that Bible-believing Christians need to know about! By exploring the richness of interpreting the Scriptures through the literary hermeneutic, Chip will explore key passages from the Old and New Testaments that show how God weaved these stories together to illustrate the Gospel's message beautifully. How is Jesus greater than Moses and David? What's the difference between how the Antiochian Church and the Alexandrian Church interpreted Scripture? How is Chip using TikTok to reach the next generation with the Gospel? Listen as Frank and Chip continue their discussion and uncover MUCH more in the second part of this eye-opening journey through the Bible that's guaranteed to cause a burning in your heart!To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, join our CrossExamined private community (https://community.crossexamined.org/).

    Where is the Resurrection Predicted in the Old Testament? with Dr. Chip Bennett

    Where is the Resurrection Predicted in the Old Testament? with Dr. Chip Bennett

    Jesus told His disciples that every story in the Old Testament points to Him. But what did He mean? If you look closely, you'll find that the Hebrew Bible contains 30+ "third-day" references and parallels to Jesus that fly under the radar for most readers. But where exactly are these resurrection prophecies located? And why do so many Christians have trouble picking them up and making the connection to the prophecies that were fulfilled through Jesus in the New Testament?This week, Dr. Chip Bennett (https://www.youtube.com/@drchipbennett/featured), founding and leading pastor of Grace Community Church (https://www.gracesarasota.com/) in Sarasota, FL, joins Frank to uncover some of the Old Testament resurrection parallels that often go unnoticed, even by dedicated students of the Bible. More than just your average pastor, Chip also holds a PhD in Systematic Theology and a Doctorate of Ministry and is here to enthusiastically unpack some of the third-day references that are hidden in plain sight and to give listeners a lesson on the significance of literary hermeneutics. During their conversation, Frank and Chip will answer questions like:* Why is it so difficult for many Christians to see Jesus in the Old Testament?* What was the inspiration behind the creed in 1 Corinthians 15?* Is there a connection between Isaac, Esther, Daniel, Goliath, and Jesus?* Did the New Testament writers read the Old Testament and purposely force these prophecies to be fulfilled?* Is using this approach to interpret Scripture called typology or something else?This podcast episode is chock full of fascinating material that Chip will delve into at a rapid pace, so get your pen and paper ready! As he unveils some of the captivating connections between people and events of both the Old and New Testaments, you'll likely hear information you've never been exposed to! This episode is just the tip of the iceberg, so be sure to stay tuned for not one but TWO more episodes where Chip will continue to unpack what the Old Testament has to say about the promised Messiah.To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, join our CrossExamined private community (https://community.crossexamined.org/).
