Why Are People at War With Truth? | Frank Turek
Why is there a war on reality—and why did Charlie Kirk matter so much in that fight?John Lovell sits down with Christian apologist and author Frank Turek for a powerful conversation about truth, faith, culture, and the battle over reality itself. Frank shares his personal perspective on his friend Charlie Kirk, why he believes Charlie represented truth in an increasingly hostile culture, and what made Charlie willing to engage people who fiercely disagreed with him.Frank also recounts working with Charlie on Christian apologetics and being only feet away from him during the final event of that tour. John and Frank wrestle with grief, evil, free will, Charlie’s legacy, and the remarkable ripple effect his life has continued to have on people around the world.The conversation then goes deeper into The War on Reality—postmodernism, the idea of “my truth” versus objective truth, why people suppress truths they don’t want to accept, and what Christians can do to stand courageously for what is real.📕 Get Frank Turek’s book, The War on Reality:https://amzn.to/4gtKdqNAffiliate link: We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.If you value conversations like this, like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who refuses to surrender the truth.Chapters:0:00 Charlie Kirk & The War on Reality1:51 Meet Dr. Frank Turek3:55 Why People Reject the Truth9:43 Are People Basically Good?17:11 Frank Turek on Charlie Kirk’s Murder & Legacy29:05 Postmodernism, Cultural Marxism & Identity Politics36:52 How to Reach Postmodernists With the Truth46:52 Socialism, Politics & Why Christians Must Engage57:18 Security, Police & the Attack on Authority1:02:15 Charlie Kirk on Courage & Leadership1:05:01 The War on Reality — Closing ThoughtsWarrior Poet WEBSITE - https://warriorpoetsociety.comTRAIN with us - https://warriorpoetsupplyco.com/train1/Books by John Lovell - https://johnlovell.comGET the WarPoet app! | Original shows, training, and much more. iPhone, Android, Amazon, Apple TV etc. https://www.watchwpsn.com Watch the Rally Point Show on the Warrior Poet appFOLLOW US: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/warriorpoetsociety Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/warriorpoetsociety/ X | https://x.com/johnlovell275 Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/6O2q4F2tbmoddeSTo9jKNM?si=qzbO0G6xRs-rs51BZuP31Q(DISCLAIMER: This post may contain paid advertisements or affiliate links.
