Relaunching the Partnership with Del and John:
A retrospective look on Cross Examine, the TV show.
Originally airing in 2011, here is one episode you can check out from Dr. Tackett and John Rabe's earlier partnership. To see more episodes, visit https://www.deltackett.com/cross-examine-worldview-series.
Cross Examine was a two-season television series hosted by Del Tackett and John Rabe for Coral Ridge Media Ministries beginning in 2011, exploring how a biblical worldview shapes the lives, convictions, work, and sacrifices of everyday people across the country. Through documentary-style stories, interviews, and cultural analysis, the show examined both the brokenness of a fallen world and the redemptive work of God through everyday faithful Christians — from confronting moral and cultural issues such as abortion and academic opposition to intelligent design, to highlighting ministries and individuals who embodied compassion, sacrifice, justice, and hope in practical ways. Each episode invited viewers to “cross examine” the assumptions of the culture and consider how truth, righteousness, courage, and love are lived out in real life.
