ALL Major Religions EXPLAINED in Under 90 Minutes (ft. Dr. Frank Turek) | Live Free with Josh Howerton
6/22/20261 hr 51 min
Do all religions lead to God? Are Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and other faiths really teaching the same thing?
In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Carlos Erazo and Paul Cunningham are joined by renowned Christian apologist Dr. Frank Turek to tackle one of the most important questions a person can ask: What is true?
Together, they explore why so many religions exist, whether all faiths ultimately point to the same destination, and the major differences between Christianity and the world's largest religions. They also address one of the most common objections to Christianity: Does God's judgment in the Bible make Him a moral monster?
From Judaism and Islam to Mormonism, Buddhism, and atheism, this conversation provides a practical framework for understanding what different worldviews teach about God, humanity, salvation, and Jesus.
Most importantly, you'll discover why Christianity stands apart from every other religion—and why the identity of Jesus changes everything.
In This Episode:
- Do all religions lead to the same God?
- Is God a moral monster in the Old Testament?
- Christianity vs. Judaism: What's the difference?
- What Islam teaches about Jesus
- Buddhism, Hinduism, and atheism in simple terms
- Why Christianity is unique among all religions
- How to have better conversations with people of other faiths
If you've ever wondered how different religions compare—or how to confidently explain your faith—this episode is for you.
Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.

First 90 secondsFrank Turek· Guest0:00
Every other world religion is trying to work their way to God if they believe in God at all. In Christianity, God works His way to us.
Carlos Erazo· Host0:06
Most major religions are about how you seek God.
Frank Turek· Guest0:10
Mm.
Carlos Erazo· Host0:10
Christianity, at its core, is about how God seeks you.
Paul Cunningham· Host0:13
And God wants us to be people that are good because He is good.
Frank Turek· Guest0:16
Right.
Paul Cunningham· Host0:16
But that's actually not the point of existence. The point of existence is to know and worship the God who created us.
Frank Turek· Guest0:21
That's right.
