Taking a position on truth is pretty unpopular today, but there are still some who have the courage to do it in the public forum. Dr. James White is one of the nation's most active Christian apologists and debaters, having debated atheists, Muslims, etc. over the last twenty years. Here, Kevin Swanson interacts with James on how to engage the battle in the dangerous war of ideas—with meekness and fear.

Many people claim to have "no creed but Christ," yet when you ask them what they believe, you discover nothing but cliches like "let go and let God." Kevin Swanson talks with Jack Lee from the Chorus in the Chaos podcast about the triteness of modern Christianity, and why people are so eager to trivialize the doctrines of Scripture. They look at the big cliches, and ask if the apostles ever said anything like that: - "Christianity is a relationship, not a religion" – why this ironically distorts people's relationship with God so badly that it leads them to hell - "Just because it's in a garage doesn't make it a car, and just because you're in a church doesn't make you a Christian" – but is it possible to be a Christian WITHOUT being in a church? - "Ask Jesus into your heart" – does Jesus want to live in our ugly, wicked hearts, and did the apostles ever preach this way? - "God has a wonderful plan for your life" – really, what is it? - "Once saved, always saved" – how does that square with salvation as a resurrection to a new creation, if you're still living in sin? Understanding the gospel is simple. But reducing the complexities of the Bible to coffee-cup phrases is really dangerous. Got a topic you want us to cover?

Sunday morning shouldn't feel like survival. In this episode of Discipleship for Dads, Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig talk through how to actually help your children engage in corporate worship — not endure it. Their conviction is simple: kids belong in the service, sitting under the preached Word alongside the whole body of Christ. But how do you get a two-year-old through a two-hour service? The men get honest and practical, sharing what's worked (and flopped) in their own families over the years. What you'll hear: • Why worship is a 3-day experience — and how Saturday night sets up Sunday • The dad's heart problem behind every rushed, distracted Sunday morning • Age-by-age tactics: toy bags and tracing sheets for the little ones, note-taking for the older ones • How to teach even a 4-year-old to sing (hint: it starts at bedtime) • "Downloading" the sermon on the way home — without roasting the pastor for lunch • Sending your kids out with a job: someone to encourage, someone to pray for, someone to serve Out of the mouths of babes and nursing infants, You have ordained strength (Psalm 8:2).

America has the highest divorce rate in the world. The family is in shambles. Practically every church has to deal with families who have suffered from divorce, even to multiple generations. Unless we strengthen the marriage relationship, you can forget about all of the other battles for faith, family, and freedom. Here Kevin Swanson interviews Paul David Tripp, author of "What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage." Here is some very helpful advice for anybody married or about to be married to another sinner. Note: The title of this book has been updated to "Marriage: 6 Gospel Commitments Every Couple Needs to Make."

Can Christians appreciate nude art? The Roman Catholic and fine art traditions think so. But is nudity really ok as long as it's "non-erotic" and "artistic?" Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow investigate what scripture has to say about public nudity, shame, and lust. They discuss: - Is the body – God's creation – intrinsically shameful? - What the Bible says about uncovering nakedness…and what we all know to do when it happens accidentally. Should our response be any different when it's on purpose? - The problem with lust, and why coveting sexual fulfillment in images is sin – even if they're not of real people - What the church fathers said about the Roman statues we now consider so artistic - The connection between demonization and nudity, and how missionaries living among unclothed native peoples dealt with it Got a topic you want us to cover?

On this Let's Talk Pastor Rocky Stevenson of Benoni Bible Church is joined with Kevin Swanson from Generations Media Network in the USA, and they explore the urgent necessity of spiritual revival, arguing that the church faces a choice between renewal or decline. They emphasise the need to return to the biblical model of Pentecost found in Acts, characterised by forty days of prayer and the subsequent outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This divine intervention is presented as the source for bold evangelism, generational faith restoration, and cross-cultural unity among believers. Historical examples from Fiji and South Africa illustrate how the Holy Spirit transforms societies through conviction of sin and the reception of mercy.

If anti-immigration nationalist parties have their way, countries like Germany and the UK will essentially disappear by 2075 due to plummeting birth rates. But if immigration continues, those countries will be run by Muslims. We're looking at the most massive geopolitical shift since the fall of the Roman Empire in AD 476 – but there is still reason to be hopeful! Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the wildcard that no one is talking about: Christians having babies. They reveal some surprising facts about: - How Africa will have 100x the population of the UK by 2075 – and are on track to be majority Christian - How 33% of American children will be in Christian education within 30 years, if trends continue - How the Chinese are failing to recover from their suicidal one-child-per-family policy - And how once self-worship is institutionalized into a culture of death, the only way back is repentance and faith in the life-giving gospel that denies self and worships the true God.

On this Let's Talk Pastor Rocky Stevenson of Benoni Bible Church is joined with Kevin Swanson from Generations Media Network in the USA, and they explore church history through the lens of Jesus as the central hero who conquers the world by love rather than force. They contrast the transient power of historical figures like Napoleon with the enduring impact of Christ, emphasising that the gospel has transformed global demographics and culture over two millennia. The discussion highlights the rise of Western civilisation due to Christian influence and its subsequent decline since 1800, while noting the vibrant growth of Christianity in other regions. By examining past missionary efforts and biblical sovereignty, the conversation encourages believers to maintain courage and hope for the future spread of the gospel. Ultimately, the message asserts that Jesus remains the most significant figure in history and the focal point of all human events.

Sermon | Isaiah 35:1-6 | Sunday Morning Service, September 20, 2026. Guest Preacher: Kevin Swanson The sermon centers on the command to "behold your God" as the primary antidote to spiritual weakness and distraction in a chaotic world. It argues that the church's current frailty stems from a weak conception of God and a failure to focus on His sovereignty, power, and glory rather than on human effort or external diversions. By examining examples of God's creative wisdom in nature and His redemptive acts in Scripture, the message emphasizes that salvation is entirely a supernatural work of God who comes to save those who cannot save themselves. Kevin calls believers to trust in Jesus' authority and power to perform miracles in their lives, urging them to expect and experience the transformative strength of the Gospel. This exhortation aims to restore a sense of awe, holy expectation, and robust faith in the presence of the Almighty.

On this Let's Talk Pastor Rocky Stevenson of Benoni Bible Church is joined with Kevin Swanson from Generations Media Network in the USA, and they address the critical decline of Christian faith across generations, attributing it to a pervasive culture of self-worship and apostasy. They examine the life of Joshua as a model for unwavering commitment to God, emphasising that true victory comes from standing with Him completely. The discussion highlights the urgent need for believers to reject idolatry and intentionally integrate Scripture into daily family life rather than treating faith as a Sunday-only obligation. By adopting a decisive mindset and denying self, individuals can counteract cultural pressures and preserve spiritual heritage for their children. Ultimately, the message calls for a deliberate, habitual choice to serve Yahweh alone in every aspect of existence.

What do you do if you started raising your kids with "gentle parenting," and only just discovered what biblical discipline looks like? How should you start administering the rod with a child who has never experienced it before? Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, and Bill Roach draw on scripture and extensive experience to answer this question from a listener. They talk about wisely navigating adjustments like this, and the deeper principles of discipleship that help you emulate the Father in your fathering. - The importance of slow and humble changes, confessing that you didn't have it right, and showing that you are trying to submit to the authority of Jesus, rather than make your family submit to you - What it means to really love a child, so you focus on shepherding his soul, rather than just fixing his behavior - Knowing what infractions to introduce the rod for, calibrating your discipline, and the proper place of gentleness - Ensuring your children can pick up that you love them when you're starting to use the rod, and retaining their heart without being a people-pleaser - The importance of affirming, encouraging, and building up in addition to physical discipline He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly (Pr 13:24).

Drawing from the book of Joshua, it calls fathers to lead their households with decisive faith and to actively engage in a worldview battle against secular humanism. The discussion highlights the breakdown of family and society due to a loss of biblical manhood, urging men to reject comfort and instead fight for the kingdom of God. It encourages the raising of the next generation through intentional discipleship and father-son mentorship. Ultimately, the podcast asserts that true strength comes from relying on God's presence to stand firm in truth and love.

Who is the man responsible for the most murders in the world? Warren Buffett has contributed to 2.7 million abortions in 10 years. But why is the man so committed to funding abortion? Kevin Swanson, the author of the book 'Apostate', traces the roots of Warren Buffet, the son of a conservative Christian statesman named Howard Buffet from the 1950s. You need to know how apostasy works, and the devastating consequences it yields on society

Does the New Testament change or correct the Old? Does it present a loving God rather than the Old Testament's angry one? Or is the Old Testament of equal authority with the New Testament – in which case, are its laws still perfect and lovely, and necessary for Christian living? Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow investigate how Jesus and the apostles treated the authority of the Old Testament. They discuss: - The God-breathed and completely sufficient nature of the Old Testament (2 Timothy 3:16–17) - How the gospel was preached beforehand to Abraham (Gal 3:8; Gen 12:3) - The authority of the Old Testament in the New Testament on matters prophetic, Christological, ethical, historical, doctrinal, typological, ecclesiological, and eschatological - The New Testament use of the Old Testament law for guiding how Christians should live, along with the moral example of figures like Joseph and David - Antinomians in the church who use the Old Testament exclusively for "redemptive themes" rather than moral imperatives Got a topic you want us to cover?

Country music is the only genre that talks about getting laid and getting saved in the same song. But isn't that a bit blasphemous – and should we even listen to that kind of thing? Kevin Swanson speaks with Bill Jack about how Americana turned gay…how "Christians" like Dolly Parton and Carrie Underwood helped…and where to draw the line in consuming the sorts of music they helped popularize. What you'll hear: - The 52-year history of glazing fornication and homosexuality as fun and judgment-free (and how Dolly Parton was at the forefront of this back in 2005) - How the female artists have gone from most conservative, to most revolutionary, over the past 20 years - How music lured us into cultural revolution by making it seem attractive and desirable - The difference between excellent art, like John Lennon's "Imagine," and art worthy of immersing yourself in for enjoyment - Practical ways to decide what to listen to (and what not to), including ideas like printing out lyrics to examine them with your kids Got a topic you want us to cover?

Your phone might be the biggest discipleship battle in your home - and you don't even realize it. In this episode of Discipleship for Dads, Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, and Danny Craig put their phones down long enough to ask the hard question: what is that little screen actually doing to your walk with God and your relationship with your family? They dig into the heart behind the habit - diversion, escapism, the "tyranny of the urgent," FOMO, and the love of pleasure over the love of God - and open the Word to find real answers (1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, Psalm 1, Galatians 5). What you'll hear: • Why "providential proximity" should change how you use your phone • Redeeming the wasted "cracks" of your day with Scripture and prayer • Practical guardrails - leave it in the car, leave it in the office • When (and how) to give your kids a phone • Building a family culture worth putting the phone down for Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls (Proverbs 25:28).

A virtual family reformation is sweeping the nation, but as most people know, the foundation of the family occurs when a young man marries a young woman. But what happens when 70 percent of young men are not grown up by 30 years of age, up from 30 percent in 1970 (per Newsweek magazine)? The average marriage age is shifting significantly, and evangelicals and homeschooling families are facing many of the same problems as the rest of the culture. Kevin interviews Voddie Baucham, the author of the book, "What He Must Be, If He Wants to Marry My Daughter."

Kevin and Josh talk about where "cool" came from…the connection between coolness and pride…and how pop culture and fashion influence it. Then they go to scripture to ask if it is ultimately possible to be meek, humble, lowly, modest…and still remain cool.

Why did dinosaurs go extinct? Was it because the seed of the woman crushed their heads? Kevin speaks with Bodie Hodge about his new book, "Dinosaurs, Dragons, and the Bible." They discuss whether dinosaurs and dragons are the same thing…examples of dragons described by cultures around the world until the 1500s…why scientists dismiss these historical records…whether dragons could breathe fire…and if there could still be dinosaurs alive out there!

As dad, you're the tip of the spear in the spiritual battle for your family. The dads talk about their own experiences in spiritual warfare, including examples from their own lives.

Kevin and Bill discuss options for slowing or stemming the river of baby blood flowing out of our nation. They ask: is a revival and reformation based on God's law utopian? In the meantime, what privatized solutions are there for limiting and preventing abortion? What is the root reason most women kill their babies? Is involvement at the state and national level worth it? And what can we do individually?

Is singing the Psalms a biblical command, or just an old tradition? Kevin and Josh ask what "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs" means...and why the Psalter all but disappeared from American church life over the last 250 years. From Hippolytus and Pliny the Younger to the Genevan Psalter, Luther, and the 19th-century hymn revivals, they trace how gospel songs and sentimentalism gradually displaced the Psalms...and why bringing them back is essential for the singing of the church.
