  • Presidents Day 2025

    Presidents Day 2025
    Feb 17 2025
    On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/17/25), Hank reflects on the words of one of the great presidents of the United States of America, George Washington. Every February we celebrate Presidents Day, a holiday that originated as Washington’s Birthday in 1885. Hank seeks to answer the question, “Why celebrate Presidents Day today—nearly 300 years after Washington’s birth on February 22, 1732?” There are some obvious reasons. Washington was, of course, our first president. He served as commander-in-chief of colonial armies during the American Revolution. He set the standard for all presidents that would follow in his train. He was a man of great personal integrity. He famously established the maxim that liberty is greater than any singular individual. And, Hank’s favorite reason for celebrating this holiday, he is eminently quotable. “It is better to live alone than in bad company.” “Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.” “All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual, and physical education I received from her.” These quotes from George Washington show that he was a president who knew the Bible, as they all echo what is taught in Holy Scripture.

  • Valentine’s Day 2025, and Q&A

    Valentine’s Day 2025, and Q&A
    Feb 14 2025
    On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/14/25), Hank discusses the origins of Valentine’s Day, looking at the Orthodox Church’s veneration of Saint Valentine, the Presbyter from Rome, for his martyrdom and as for all its saints, honors St. Valentine as a model of the life in Christ. According to The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, the traditional association of St. Valentine’s Day with courtship is likely connected with certain customs of the pagan festival Lupercalia. If so, this would be another example of Christians usurping a pagan holiday and Christianizing it for the glory of Christ.

    Hank also answers the following questions:

    Can you comment on Reza Aslan’s book, Zealot, and his claim that there was no census at the time of Jesus’ birth? Tom - Kansas City, MO (15:12)
    How do we understand Matthew 6:15 in light of salvation and the forgiveness we have in Christ? Mark - Wichita, KS (18:35)
