    Ivy Insights

    The Best of the Bible Answer Man Broadcast podcast, hosted by Hank Hanegraaff, is a treasure trove of Christian knowledge and insight. For over 30 years, Hank has been a trusted source for biblical teachings, and his podcasts continue to provide valuable content for listeners. As someone who has followed Hank's work for decades, I am grateful to have access to his podcasts after his radio show ended.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the wealth of information it provides. Hank delves deep into various topics related to Christianity, offering insights and explanations that are both enlightening and thought-provoking. His call-in shows allow listeners to ask questions and receive well-researched answers that bring clarity to complex biblical issues. Additionally, the podcast features interviews with guests who bring unique perspectives and expertise on different subjects.

    Hank's knowledge and passion for the Bible shine through in every episode. He takes the time to explain concepts in a way that is accessible to all listeners, regardless of their level of biblical knowledge. His dedication to research is evident when he admits if he doesn't know something and takes the time to find accurate answers before addressing the question again.

    However, one aspect that may be off-putting for some listeners are the advertisements during the podcast. While understandable as a means to support the show financially, these ads can be jarring and disrupt the flow of the content. It would be more enjoyable if there were fewer interruptions or a separate format for advertisements.

    In conclusion, The Best of the Bible Answer Man Broadcast podcast is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Christianity. Hank Hanegraaff's expertise combined with his passion for sharing God's Word make each episode engaging and educational. Despite occasional interruptions from ads, this podcast remains a go-to source for biblical teachings and insights that will enrich your faith journey.

Only Jesus of Nazareth—the unique Superstar—could emerge through the doorway of Old Testament prophecy.Hank also answers the following questions:Can a pastor be divorced according to 1 Timothy 3:2?

    On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (11/27/25), Hank encourages all who are listening in to enjoy their time on Thanksgiving Day with family and friends to the extent that they can. Thanksgiving is a day that Hank looks forward to every year. Yet Thanksgiving is not just a day; it is a daily manner of life. It is a key that opens the gate of Christ and allows Christians to enter and gain access to all His wonderful provisions and even more profoundly into all the splendor of His Being. “Open for me the gates of the righteous,” wrote the Psalmist, “and I will enter and give thanks to the Lord. I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.” In the Wisdom of Solomon, we read that “the hope of an unthankful man will melt like the wintry frost and flow away like useless water.” Thus, we are exhorted to arise each morning and thank our heavenly Father for the abundance of His mercies, for the blessing of the Lord will melt like ice—evaporate like worthless water—at the appearance of the first rays of sunshine.

    On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (10/13/25), Hank discusses Columbus Day, a U.S. holiday that commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492. In 2020, Columbus Day was the scene of carnage as demonstrators toppled statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt in Portland's South Park Block. Moreover, the moniker “Stolen Land” was ominously spray-painted across its concrete base. Protest organizers dubbed the event “Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage.” What could possibly motivate American citizens—supposed exemplars of social justice—to behave with such wanton recklessness in a supposed era of “wokeness” and progressive values? In trying to come to grips with this question, Hank was cowed by page after page of Google search results with exclamations that Columbus was a nefarious character—a ruthless money-grubbing, genocidal maniac, who severed hands, raped women, and enslaved gentle people to satisfy white Europeans' lust for gold. One starts to wonder “how can I trust history?” Mary Grabar, author of the book, Debunking Howard Zinn: Exposing the Fake History That Turned a Generation Against America asked this very question. A good deal of what you read on the internet is based on Zinn's historical revisionism. It constitutes a steady diet of poison seeping into the hearts and minds of impressionable children. Grabar exposes the fake history lessons that are systematically turning a new generation of kids against American exceptionalism.
