In this special evergreen edition of The Steve Deace Show, host Steve Deace welcomes renowned Christian apologist and theologian Frank Turek to explore the provocative question: 'Do you have enough faith to be an atheist?' Turek, author of the bestselling book *I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist*, presents a compelling case for the existence of God and the historical truth of Jesus’ resurrection using philosophical, scientific, and historical evidence. He dismantles common objections to Christianity by highlighting the self-defeating nature of atheism, the moral and cosmological arguments for God, and the archaeological and textual reliability of the New Testament. Turek emphasizes that the resurrection is not just a religious claim but a historical event supported by eyewitness testimony, embarrassing details in the gospels, and the transformation of early Christians who suffered for their beliefs. The conversation also touches on the dangers of AI, the erosion of truth in the digital age, and the urgent need for young men to embrace faith and purpose. In the final segment, Todd Erzend and Aaron McIntyre reflect on the intellectual and spiritual power of Turek’s arguments, calling for Christians to live out their faith boldly in a skeptical world.
The existence of God can be rationally demonstrated through the cosmological, teleological, and moral arguments—each pointing to a spaceless, timeless, personal, intelligent, and moral Creator.
The resurrection of Jesus is not a myth but a historical event supported by multiple lines of evidence: eyewitness accounts, archaeological discoveries, and the transformation of the early church.
The New Testament's credibility is strengthened by 'embarrassing testimony'—details that would not have been invented, such as the disciples' cowardice and Peter’s denial.
Christianity uniquely provides a coherent, comprehensive worldview that answers life’s deepest questions: Why is the world the way it is? Why are we here? What can be done about evil?
Christians are called to be intellectually engaged and courageous in sharing their faith, especially in a culture where truth is increasingly distorted by AI, social media, and relativism.

Introducing Frank Turek: The Challenge of Faith
“If Christianity were true, would you become a Christian? And I've had atheists stand at their microphone in front of hundreds of people and say, no!”
The Three Arguments for God’s Existence
“If there's a moral law written on our hearts that says this is right and this is wrong, then there has to be a moral law giver.”
The Historical Evidence for Jesus’ Resurrection
“The New Testament writers did not create the resurrection. The resurrection created the New Testament writers.”
Embarrassing Testimony and the Credibility of the Bible
“You're not going to invent things that make yourself look bad. You might invent things that make yourself look good, but not bad.”
“If your view of Islam is one of freedom, not bondage... show me a culture in the world dominated by Islam where they are living en masse along what you're claiming Islam actually is.”
“If Christianity were true, would you become a Christian? And I've had atheists stand at their microphone in front of hundreds of people and say, no!”
“When we see a message, we know there has to be a mind. When we see a code, there has to be a coder. When we see a program, there's got to be a programmer.”
