Do Catholics and Protestants actually worship the same Jesus? Pastors Carlos Erazo and Paul Cunningham sit down with apologist and author Dr. Frank Turek (I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist) to unpack one of the most personal and theologically charged conversations in Live Free history. Frank was there the day Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and he shares what happened, what Charlie believed, and how the conspiracy theories impact his legacy. From there, the conversation digs into the real differences between Catholicism and Protestantism...not to divide, but to clarify what the Bible actually teaches about salvation, authority, and grace. In a season where Gen Z is converting to Catholicism and a new American pope has been elected, this episode gives you the biblical tools to think clearly, love well, and point people to Jesus. In this episode, you'll learn: What Frank Turek witnessed the day Charlie Kirk was shot, and what Charlie believed about Jesus The key differences between Catholic and Protestant theology on salvation and authority Why Sola Scriptura doesn't mean what most critics think it means Whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God, and what the Bible says How to have grace-filled conversations with Catholic family and friends about the gospel Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.
