They are gone.  They ran the race. Five great men have died now. But what are the dying words of the last of "the prophets."  What would they say to us? All five were the strongest voices in the country - contra mundum. Phil Robertson, Pastor John MacArthur, Dr. James Dobson, Voddie Baucham, and Charlie Kirk left the same message — "Get. Your. Children. Out. Of. Public. Schools. Now." We're picking up the message, and taking it to the nation. What about "Public School Free!" Rallies in every state?

What Does the Bible Say About Ecumenism? – Roman Catholicism, the Gospel of Grace, and First-Order Doctrines If unity is a virtue, does that mean Protestants should embrace ecumenism with Roman Catholics? What about when first-order doctrines like the Trinity and salvation by grace through faith are at stake? This episode asks whether cooperation in politics is different from unity in the church, and whether the "least common denominator" approach to Christianity actually undermines the gospel itself. From Galatians to John 3:16, the conversation highlights the danger of watering down truth, the insufficiency of works-based systems, and the urgent call to evangelize with a gospel that is all of grace, all of Christ, and all of Scripture.

A late-night jab reignites a bigger debate: Who polices speech in America? This episode traces the line between sins and crimes, argues against government licensing of media, and defends freedom of conscience under the First Amendment. We contrast "strongman" instincts with a biblical model that honors authority, rejects vengeance, and fights bad ideas with better ones—through open debate, market pressure, and the light of God's Word. From David, Nathan, and Shimei to today's media oligarchs and the internet's "Babel effect," the case is made for liberty over tyranny and persuasion over censorship.

A memorial service for Charlie Kirk reached hundreds of thousands in person and tens of millions worldwide, delivering a clear gospel message for hours on end. The most striking moment came when his wife publicly forgave her husband's assassin—an act that revealed the supernatural power of the gospel. Yet, the event also highlighted America's sacred–secular divide, with some leaders expressing a spirit of vengeance rather than forgiveness. Will this moment spark revival and reformation in a nation teetering between pride and repentance, division and unity?

What's your Plan B when the modern model of parenting fails? In this energizing episode, the dads explore the lost vision of a working family economy—where children aren't sidelined but integrated into the daily life, ministry, and productivity of the household. From Russian orphanages to backyard wood splitting, they share stories of hospitality, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and meaningful work that strengthens the family bond and prepares kids for real life. Can we trade isolation for integration and rediscover the joy of doing life together as a family?

There are four elements that turned Charlie Kirk into a major target for the enemy. And there are some extraordinary factors that played into this shocking assassination, the investigation, and fallout. Will there be justice served, and how is America reacting?

If the internet has been dangerous and counterproductive to human life on planet earth, what about Artificial Intelligence? Is it dangerous? Is it deceptive? Is it potentially destructive? Could it destroy the world? After we are done with our list of cautions, is there anything worth salvaging here for human life on planet earth? What does the Bible say about artificial intelligence? At base, this is a worldview question. It is a Colossians 2:8 concern. We ask the question first — how does AI handle the normative, the existential, the situational, and the teleological? If poorly, how quickly might AI lead one astray!

Based on the evidence surfacing, it has become clear that Charlie Kirk is the first true Christian martyr on American soil. The world is listening. What will we tell our children about the life and death of Charlie Kirk? What was his message, his vision, his mission, and his example of boldness and faith? Daniel Craig, Stephen Craig, and Kevin Swanson share the big takeaways.

There are some sort-of divisive issues, and then there are hyper-divisive issues. Will our leadership find ways to unify the nation on the most incendiary issues — Kill-Pill by Mail and Transgenderism? But then, the anti-Christian agenda is erupting into violence as well. Post-Christian apostasy can get violent. We draw in the post-Christian roots of the Nazi inner circle, and note the danger of it.

Conflict in the church is inevitable—but how we respond reveals the depth of our maturity and love for Christ. In this episode, the Discipleship for Dads panel tackles real-life examples of church conflict, from failed courtships to playground drama, and offers gospel-centered wisdom for navigating turbulent waters. Why do so many believers jump ship at the first sign of trouble? And how can we become less easily offended, more humble, and truly committed to unity in the body of Christ? The panel uses vivid metaphors and practical examples to remind us: the goal is not to avoid the rapids—but to stay in the boat together and grow stronger on the other side.

Donald Trump has talked about bringing prayer back into the schools. Kevin, Bill and Adam discuss this story on today's program.

Forms and art are a reflection of several key aspects of society, including the amount of common grace at work in and inherited by a society, and of course the prevalent worldview in the minds of those creating the art. So what should a Christian think about classical music produced by composers like Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn? What does the Bible have to say about forms, and how do the principles of honor, chaos and order, and not eating things offered to idols tie into the discussion?

A few nations have shut down homeschooling entirely, and others are about to follow suit.  Parents do not have the choice. This year, at least one state wants to impose a DEI program on homeschoolers. Where did this compulsory attendance law come from, and what is the worldview that requires state control of the children? Before Jean-Jacques Rousseau there was Prussia and Christian Wolfe; and Wolfe lived up to his name. We analyze the Pelagian view of man that infected the lapsed Christians of Germany and America in the 18th and 19th Centuries.

The National Football League has added "male cheerleaders" to the mix — a recent phenomenon. How to Christians respond to the sexualization and homosexualization of the NFL? We pursue a discussion on the gender blender in dress, hairstyle, body movements, etc. It's not so much the feminization of the male, as it is the softening and emasculating of the modern male. What's the remedy?

In this edition of Discipleship for Dads, Kevin, Todd, Bill, and Danny discuss the responsibilities a father has in launching daughters and preparing them to leave and cleave.

The US is divided ideologically like never before, and the schism has metastasized into a high-profile assassination on a college campus, with the death of Charlie Kirk (which occurred as we recorded the program). We recognize the courage and faith of Charlie Kirk, who fought some of the same battles we have engaged through the years. This program focuses on the worldview war playing out at the college campus, the rising ideological division on the campuses and between states, the abdication of Christians, and the rise of Islam.

After running through a plethora of problems with social media as collected by the secularists, the rest of us wonder if its really worth it. The Bible has nothing to say about it. . . except for the thousands of principles governing human relationships found in the Book of Proverbs, the Gospels, and the Epistles. Actually, you'd be surprised how much the Bible says about Social Media. We end the discussion with a few simple questions to test the edifying value of uploads and downloads on this media form.

The college bubble has burst. About half of college borrowers are behind on their loans now, and the percentage of young people in college has already fallen off from 81% to 63% over just the last few years. The majority of job offerings have lifted the college degree. But what's a young person to do? How will the next generation compete with AI? Here, we break down where future jobs are to be found, and where the preparation needs to happen. Young people, get savvy now!

The new Axis has formed. But, what are the contrasts in values represented by both sides — China/Russia/North Korea and the US/Europe. Authoritarians take the first position. On the other side we find divisive woke, sexual perversion, feminism, individualist ethical autonomy, and birth implosions. Are these values worth fighting for? Europe has lost the will to carry on a civilization by the birth canal. What does this imply for the battlefield? These are critical geopolitical questions. Ultimately, the West is confronting a Deuteronomy 28:25 challenge right now. We take up Scotland as a prime example of the decline of the West on this edition of the program.

Prepare your fields, and then afterward, "build thine house." Young men are not launching much these days, but dads can make a huge difference here. Here is a thoughtful and critical conversation, with four dads in studio, on how to launch our sons into business, marriage, and the calling God has for them. How will your son attain a vision for life, direction, equipping, sobriety, maturity, and a readiness to embrace the responsibilities of life? How is he going to launch?
