#334 Why Political and cultural Engagement Is Not a social Gospel, with Frank Turek

October 05, 2025

In this episode, Alisa Childers welcomes Frank Turek for a wide-ranging conversation about Christian political engagement, 3rd wayism, and the difference between faithful involvement and a political gospel.


We reflect on the dangers of Christians retreating into neutrality under the guise of “3rd wayism,” and address the misconception that political engagement is the same as preaching a political or social gospel. Frank also shares about his brand-new children’s book on responsibility, offering insights into raising the next generation with wisdom and discernment.


Finally, Frank opens up about how he’s doing in the wake of Charlie’s murder, giving listeners a glimpse into both his heart and his hope during this difficult season.
