“I was very happy with the clear presentation of the information and the amount of material covered. Frank Turek is a wonderful instructor. His lectures were focused but also peppered with humor, keeping the learner engaged and interested. I was so pleased and inspired that I’ve enrolled in another course.”

Your Instructor

Course creator Dr. Frank Turek is a dynamic speaker and award-winning author and co-author of five books: Stealing from God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case, I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, Correct, Not Politically Correct: About Same-Sex Marriage and Transgenderism, Hollywood Heroes, and Legislating Morality.

As the President of CrossExamined.org & CrossExamined International Frank presents powerful and entertaining evidence for Christianity at churches, high schools, and at secular college campuses that often begin hostile to his message. He has also debated several prominent atheists including Christopher Hitchens and Michael Shermer, Founding Publisher of Skeptic Magazine.

“Wonderful course, packed with insightful and clarifying information that is often glazed over - or misunderstood - in many study sessions at church. As Frank mentions, it is definitely the most important thing for a Christian to know - how to interpret our Bible! As an instructor, Frank is likewise well-packed with endless knowledge, insight, and quips of wisdom that make the course a delight for eager students. His direct, no-nonsense ability to cut through what might have been dry and wearying with another instructor is unparalleled. Loved it!

-- Donald V.

Dr. Michael Heiser

"The Bible was written for us--but not to us. We're not part of the ancient world that informed its writers. We're strangers to their ideas, experiences, and worldview. Because we're cultural and historical outsiders, what we read in the Bible can often be perplexing and impenetrable."

- Dr. Michael Heiser

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

When do the LIVE Zoom sessions take place for the PREMIUM course?

Thursdays @ 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific). Each meeting lasts 1 hour. The Zoom schedule will be released when the next PREMIUM (live) course is announced.

What type of payments do you accept?

Currently we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and check cards (as long as they are connected with one of the major credit card companies listed above) as well as PayPal.

Is my information safe and secure?

In order to ensure security, all payments are processed through Authorize.net or PayPal. These are highly secure and use industry-leading technology (such as SSL) to keep your information safe.

Can one person enroll in the course and multiple people attend the Zoom session with the student?

Unfortunately, due to copyright, privacy and security issues the answer to this question is NO. We understand the desire to share these awesome sessions in this manner, but each course is a “closed” course. This means that each student enrolled in a course with LIVE recorded sessions, through their enrollment, has given permission for recording of the Zoom sessions for use by the students in their enrolled class ONLY and verified that they are not a minor. To remain GDPR compliant and protect privacy and security, we authenticate each student joining our Zoom meetings. This privacy is also sought to create a place where our students get to know the others in their group and feel comfortable in sharing personal thoughts and questions.
