How a Skeptical Student Found Faith: The Impact of Frank Turek’s Words
As a young college student, John was confident in his atheism. Raised in a household that valued science and reason above all else, he was taught to question everything and to rely on evidence and logic to form his beliefs. The idea of God seemed outdated and unnecessary to him, and he prided himself on his intellectual skepticism.
However, everything changed one fateful day when John attended a lecture by renowned Christian apologist Frank Turek. Turek’s reputation preceded him, and John was intrigued by the opportunity to hear him speak in person. As Turek began to present his arguments for the existence of God, John found himself captivated by the sheer force of his logic and reasoning.
Turek’s arguments were concise and compelling, drawing on philosophy, science, and history to make his case. He challenged the audience to consider the complexity and design of the universe, pointing out that such intricate order could not have arisen by chance. John had never heard these arguments presented in such a clear and coherent way, and he found himself struggling to refute them.
But it was not only Turek’s intellectual arguments that swayed John — it was also his genuine compassion and concern for those who were seeking truth. Turek spoke with a humility and kindness that was disarming, inviting questions and engaging in thoughtful dialogue with those who disagreed with him. He did not seek to win arguments, but to win hearts, and John was deeply moved by his sincerity.
As the lecture drew to a close, Turek made a simple but profound statement that would stay with John long after the event was over. He said, “Don’t let your doubts blind you to the possibility of truth. Keep seeking, keep questioning, and you may just find what you’re looking for.”
Those words resonated with John in a way that he could not explain. He had prided himself on his skepticism, on his refusal to accept anything without evidence. But in that moment, he realized that his skepticism had become a shield, protecting him from a truth that he was not yet ready to face.
In the days and weeks that followed, John found himself wrestling with Turek’s arguments, unable to dismiss them as easily as he had hoped. He began to explore the claims of Christianity with a newfound openness and humility, seeking answers to questions that had long troubled him.
And then, one day, it happened. As John sat alone in his room, reflecting on all that he had heard and learned, he felt a sudden and overwhelming sense of peace wash over him. In that moment, he knew without a doubt that God was real, that he was loved, and that his life had purpose and meaning beyond anything he had ever imagined.
John’s journey from atheism to faith was not an easy one, filled with doubts and uncertainties along the way. But it was a journey that ultimately led him to a deeper understanding of himself and the world around him. And it all began with a single lecture by a man named Frank Turek, whose words challenged and inspired him to seek truth with an open mind and a willing heart.
As John looks back on that pivotal moment in his life, he is grateful for the courage and conviction that Turek showed in sharing his beliefs with others. He knows that without Turek’s willingness to engage with skeptics like himself, he might never have found the faith that now sustains him.
In a world that often seems divided by religious beliefs and ideologies, John’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to others with an open heart and mind. It is a testament to the transformative power of genuine dialogue and respectful engagement, and a shining example of how a simple message of love and truth can change lives in ways we never thought possible.
So the next time you find yourself in a conversation with someone who holds different beliefs than you, remember John’s story. Remember the impact that Frank Turek’s words had on his life, and be willing to engage with others in a spirit of openness and humility. You never know where that conversation might lead, or how it might change someone’s life for the better.
The "Jewish-Cabal" are the ones that Jesus chased out of the temple, with the lashes of his whip, calling them a "Den of thieves", because they were the "Money-Changers" who were perverting the currency of society, within the temple, by converting the currency into a Debt-Currency(John 2:15-17 read the new international version, read the new living translation, read the English standard version, and read the King James version, all in order to get a clearer understanding). In John 8:42-44, Jesus confronts the Jewish-Cabal with an aggressive attitude ———– read the new international version, read the new living translation, read the English standard version, and read the King James version, all in order to get a clearer understanding. The truth is that the Jews of today's Israel, they have only been on that land, in Palestine, for only approximately 74 or 75 years, land which the U.N.Council stole from the Palestinians after World-War 2 (1945), so that's why the Palestinians have been warring with those Jews ever since, about land that was taken from them unjustly. What the U.N.Council needs to do in order to discontinue the War between the Jews and the Palestinians, is to find many,many acres of unoccupied or vacant land, and fix it up and let the Jews move all of their citizens and residents onto that unoccupied land, giving the Palestinians back their land, that is rightfully theirs to begin with.
In Revelations 2:9 and Revelations 3:9, it clearly says that the ones that calls themselves the Jews, who live in today's Israel, are not God's chosen people of the Bible, but rather , they are imposters who are of the Synagogue of Satan (devil-worshippers) . Even though Jews of today's Israel are peace-loving people, but the problem is that they habor within their nation a religious-sect, that is a secret- society cult, that calls themselves the "Jewish-Cabal" who are worshippers of Satan,whose mission it is to execute Satan's original plan ———– since the time of Satan's fall from heaven, with the other fallen angels ———– of bringing about the "New World – order"(World-wide slavery) through the practice of "Globalism".
Proverbs 8:33 read the new international version , read the new living translation, read the English standard version,and read the King James version, all in order to get a clearer understanding; Proverbs 10:17 read the new international version, read the new living translation, read the English standard version, read the King James version, all in order to get a clearer understanding.
John 16:13————— the word "hear" in that scripture, is a synonym of "to discover ", "have learned", "have determined". Most religious people get into the bad habit, of solely following the popular and conventional teachings of their pastors, priests, or of their other clergymen, about what they believe or assume are the true ways God, without question, not knowing whether or not it is true, nor doing their deep but simple research into whether or not it is true or not; God does not want us to be stuck in a belief of who he is,as our creator, but rather, he wants us to "know" (John 8:32) and (2 Timothy 2:15). I am a devout follower of God and his son———— the biblical character named Jesus——— but I don't claim no type of religion(including do not claim Christianity) because God does not affiliate himself with no type of religion, because that is not his creation,but rather, man just use the name of God in vain like bait,to get others to join a religion.
I was thinking the same think how he was feeding him the mic 🎤
Dumb kid literally hasn't thought through any of this.
Im so happy this young man is mature and open to listen to what was said today!! ❤❤
Devin Gooder den chicken
Why didn’t you dish out some soul food in this one like you always do?🤷♂️
anyone else distracted by the guy holding the mic right in the kids face? lol
Beautiful to see a real dialog, Amen and I’ll pray for him
What a pile of nonsense. Turek speaks absolute crap about morality. If you think you need to believe in god to know murder is wrong your insane.
I don't see anything wrong with communist! Wow.. that is terrifying that is insanity that is nuts. This dude needs to go look up communism.. unbelievable.
I like the comment regarding an author and a book with god and moral ideas
Here is how I see atheism. Imagine we all start out as Christian/believers because our parents were and their parents were and on and on. So then we adapt a code that has been in place for thousands of years. But then something happens or we think about it long enough and decide maybe the biblical explanation of things doesn’t make sense. Maybe there is too much of X going on to seem like there really is a God. And he isn’t speaking in a public forum where there could be no denying the existence of God. So then some people say we don’t need God to be good. We don’t immediately switch over to being serial killers because there is nothing holding us back. Meanwhile Frank Turin says can’t be good without God. He has exactly ONE point to make about it and you all act like that is a Mic drop.
Be afraid of communism if you like your freedom. Everyone is not equal under commies..
So thankful for the way he approached that question and how it was received ❤
This was an amazing video !!
I could not help but laugh at how close the man was holding the mic to his mouth. Then you mentioned it and I lost it 😂.
I’m a subscriber, for some reason I haven’t seen your content for MONTHS. Glad you’re back in my YouTube feed! 🙏 ❤🙏
Dr Turek is the man. I’ve learned so much from him.
That poor man holding that mic for dude lol
Who is this guy to pass judgment on Jesus Christ?
There's NOT one scripture that YHWSH (Jesus is translation) EVER said it's great that you're enslaving people!!! I'll bet my head on a chopping block!😂 Wow, he gets accused of more falsehoods than I can comprehend; JUST The God of The Bible???😢 He ACTUALLY SAID for those who find themselves in slavery to obey their master!!! This would be to help keep themselves safe.
It's good to see good conversation, praying for this young man that God opens his heart to the truth in His word.
Its good to know gibson that once we get rid of our laws on the books your confident that god is gonna be the one to enforce it and put morality in its place .
😂😂
Anarchy and chaos will persue .
It will be like that movie the purge .
😂😂
Lol i thought that dude with the mic was holding homeboy to the wall using the holy spirit.. haha
Being an atheist I can tolerate. But being a communist?! Nah, hell nah. You’ze gots to go.
I had this very debate with an atheist and did a much worse job of explaining objective morality to him than Frank did to this guy
So many things we have grown up in/with because of the Christian Founding fathers that need illumination so we can appreciate. Foundational
I praise the Lord because his light is been shining through the darkness of man kind
That’s good stuff Brother D!! Love your channel bro!! Always encouraged with your commentary and your love for the Lord and how you always share the gospel and all your videos!! Keep it coming bro!!
None is Good except God
Franks belief that morality comes from god is a flawed one at best .
Doesnt explain why people are born to be sociopaths or psycho paths or the fact that we have to teach our children whats right and whats wrong, in the first place it wasnt automatically instilled into them.
Some kids like to torture animals at a young age for fun and to get a kick out of it .
Matt dilahunty from the atheist experience has owned a lot of christians on this topic .
Also doesnt explain why over 50% of the U.S prison population self identifies as born again evangalical christians .
Showing that christians dont have a stand when it comes to trying to preach to other people about morality .
We also have laws in place , take them all out and I gurantee you people will be running around doing what they want and there will be chaos and anarchy.
I assure you a god isnt gonna be the one to put morality in us or stop it from happening when it does happen.
I can say that an atheist is not good and I am not good, and You are not good….. "ONLY GOD IS GOOD !" SAYS JESUS
I was thinking the exact same thing! That guy almost put that mic down his throat 🤣
What he's looking for can only be found in Christ! Especially him being an Atheist! Jesus is the Only Way. I pray these kids in these schools, will open their hearts and minds to the Cross❤️🙌🙏
Frank Turrek already got owned by David Silverman in a debate .
The famous atheist David Silverman and Christopher hitches .
The amazing atheist in his channel has a good description of where morality comes from and you don't need an imaginary friend called God for that.
It's obvious morality comes from trial and error.
It also comes from an old saying from the Greek philosopher Socrates who said do on to others as you would have do on to you.
Which predates Christian teachings.
Morality is based on sitting your own personal interests aside for the benefit of a community .
Because societies we found out through history trial and error is best served helping one another for an over all collective .
More people helping one another out the better off the society is the societies who are out murdering one another and making one another miserable didn't last long through out history .
In order for their to be morality a person in one form or another has to sit their own personal interests aside in order to help a group collective .
That's why we have laws in place and it doesn't take rocket science or someone to believe in a God for that .
Considering people through our history have used God to commit horrible atrocities to their fellow man so that has been proven to be false .
Like the Bible when God ordered mosses and the Jews to kill and slaughter the amedenites and amolokites and to take the women and children for themselves as slaves .
Or the Christian lady who drowned her kids 3 weeks ago claiming they were possesed by Satan and the devil and God told her to do it .
Only shows me that anyone can get away with murder if they have God as an excuse for it and shows me that Christians are no better when it comes to trying to teach other people what morality is.
So I stopped listening to the questioner after he said I personally don't see anything wrong with communism. Um… history dude! And I LOVE your comment that how does it help to win an argument, and lose the person?
Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🏽
Straight Up fam
I pray this young man was saved and knows the Lord. Amen!
See what he did there he switched it from why God would allow evil, to why is it evil? He side stepped the question. You got to watch those theists. They're sneaky.
Everything is relative. You need to compare to see a difference. We need to compare ourselves to a perfect God to see our flaws and insurrections. In this debate the mustard seed was planted.
