Kevin and Bill discuss the political ingredients that produce war – and the similarities between today and the periods leading up to WW1 and WW2. They talk about how both power and popularity are shifting from the West to the East, with China in ascendance…and the narrow window of opportunity in the next 25 years that makes more war likely because of the impending "birth-dirth."

Is it normal for children to fight on a daily basis over stupid things like who sits in the middle seat of the car? Why do things keep getting worse, even with constant correction? The dads address this ubiquitous issue, and talk about "pulling the weeds early and often"…use of the rod…why "stop it" isn't enough…how to encourage good behavior rather than just quelling fights…and how they discipled their children through these issues.

Christian families have learned to say "sorry" and "that's okay" without ever touching the heart. Kevin is joined by Rob Rienow, homeschool dad of seven and author of Healing Family Relationships, to talk about what forgiveness actually requires…why time alone doesn't heal wounds…and how to keep bitterness from taking root at home.

Where is the line between protecting your children, and creating people who are unable to properly have conversations with others? Kevin and Josh look at scriptural examples and warnings, and discover that the biggest stumbling block to our children is often ourselves. Regardless of what dangers we shield them from, stumbling children happens in the home too. We often protect them from being taught bad worldviews – but fail to protect them from more direct sin.

Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan are the biggest things out there – platforms built on idle curiosity and incoherent skepticism. The imaginations of the masses are captured by meandering topics, aimless digressions, and fourth-grade language. Meanwhile, biblical illiteracy and moral confusion are rampant, even in the church. Kevin talks with Bill about how this generation is the first to consistently live out relativism…what the results are…and what our agenda must be, if we want to relay firm foundations.

1 in 40 babies are now born through IVF – 96,000 per year. To achieve this, nearly 4 million embryos were created. With 12 million IVF babies since 1978, there are now nearly half a BILLION embryos who will never see the light of day. Is the chance to have one child worth the lives of so many others? Kevin speaks with Josh Holler, author of "Misconceiving IVF: An Essential Guide to the Perils of In-Vitro Fertilization."

Is it still possible to pay off a house before you're 30? If so, how can we support our children toward this goal? The dads talk about how young men they know have achieved this – and what biblical principles laid the foundation. They discuss the connection between obedience and diligence…whether childhood is for playing…focusing on productive skills like carpentry, rather than football…and ultimately, seeing our work as participation in God's own building.

A communist Muslim wins a U.S. Senate primary in Michigan. A Muslim communist becomes mayor of New York City. Both regions are majority Christian on paper. Bill Jack joins Kevin to talk about why apostate nations open the door to Islam and Marxism…the biblical pattern of locusts devouring an unfaithful land…how Dearborn, Michigan became America's first Sharia stronghold…and why only revival, not politics, can rebuild what's been dynamited.

It's common for older children to have rocky relationships with their parents. So how can you work at restoring these – especially when the gap seems to widen every time you talk? Kevin and Joshua discuss what makes the biggest difference…the place of the church…a few things that make things worse rather than better, and how to proactively prevent conflict. What does lived experience reveal…and what does the Bible say?

Forest fires are sweeping Washington, Colorado and Oregon. Coincidentally, these states are very high on the Generations "evil index" of abortion liberalism and sexual perversion…and the worst for church attendance. Similar things are happening in France and Spain. Should we attribute these disasters to specific judgments for specific sins? Kevin and Bill talk about how God works in history, and what it would take to stop the trajectory toward destruction in Europe and America.

What do you do if your little boy comes downstairs wearing his sister's dress, and says he wants to be a girl? Kevin talks to Aaron Boldman from HelpMyBoy.com about effeminacy, and helping boys to ground their mindset and feelings in God's reality. They discuss the difference between body envy and lust…the power of nurture over nature in our present culture…and how dads can disciple boys to live out their sexuality in honor of God.

Exhortation

Many men compulsively side with women, whether they're right or wrong. But we should be more jealous for God's honor than women's, and more fearful of what He thinks. The dads talk about the white knight mentality, and ask: don't women deserve special honor? How biblical is "happy wife, happy life?" Can you really keep the peace without obedience to the gospel of peace? And what should you do if there's a tug-of-war for control in your marriage?

James Dobson. John MacArthur. Phil Robertson. Voddie Baucham. Charlie Kirk. The prophets are gone, but their voices still echo. Kevin and Danny mark one year since these five godly leaders passed away. They revisit the urgent, biblical case made by each of them - to pull the children out of the godless public schools before it's too late. Will the church listen to their voices?

Is settling Mars a biblical idea? Does God want us building colonies on other planets? Kevin, Josh, and Danny investigate the secular and humanistic motives behind space exploration, and what exactly Scripture says we are given dominion over. Then they switch to uncovering the truth about UFOs – and the scriptural, historical, and current evidence that they are spiritual, not physical.

We know that state schools teach humanism. "Man is God." Transgenderism is the natural fruit of that religion. But it's just the high schools…right? There's no Nietzsche in 1st grade. Kindergartens don't have transgender bathrooms. So aren't state grade schools safe? Kevin and Danny answer with the first five questions of the children's catechism, contrasting these with what kids learn in grade school – things like "Follow your heart," and, "You can be whatever you want to be…"

The government's debt ratio of 135%, but the average American household is hilted up 350%. Inflation is going crazy no matter who we put in office. If we want change, we're going to have to return to God's economic ways as families and churches. Kevin talks to Rory Groves about taking your finances back into your own hands…how they have implemented biblical economies in their homes…and the sacrifices and mindset adjustments it requires.

We are to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord – but what are the basics of doing this? The dads talk about their own practices: the place of family worship…what they've learned about sanctification taking place in daily activities…which books of the Bible they focus on most…how to instill doctrine systematically while keeping it relevant to life…helping kids deal with opposing worldviews…and making the home safe for questioning.

Germany didn't become Nazi Germany overnight. Prussia decriminalized sodomy in the 1700s. The universities became seedbeds of Marxism, textual criticism, and Nietzschean nihilism throughout the 1800s. The Weimar Republic decriminalized abortion in 1927. Kevin Swanson traces this long apostasy and explains why National Socialism was the rotten fruit of a nation that had long abandoned Jesus Christ. Kevin is joined by Jacob Tanner to address why Nazism was so evil...regardless of the narrative.

Kevin and Josh investigate the biblical right and responsibility of bearing arms to preserve the lives of those we care for. They talk about how the great missionary John G. Paton used a gun (without ever killing anyone)…when "shoot first and ask questions later" is biblically appropriate…when we stray into risking blood guiltiness…plus, what the founding fathers meant by a "militia," biblical examples of the people taking up arms, and the limits of such resistance.

A new survey reveals that 39% of Americans still hold to biblical creation — down from 47% just 15 years ago. Kevin and Bill discuss the fact that 99% of PhD scientists and 99% of college classrooms are united against the Genesis account. The apostasy of geology has a history...and that has played out in the courtroom battles over creation in the public schools.

For the first time, Brazilian parents are getting prison time for homeschooling…families in the Netherlands are receiving "return to school" orders…and homeschool freedoms are unraveling in CT and NE with new restrictions being rolled out. Kevin speaks with Kevin Boden, attorney for the Home School Legal Defense Association, about the national and international situation, what it means, and what homeschoolers must do to keep the freedom to teach their kids.

Scripture treats complaining and ingratitude with immense gravity. But how do we teach a whiny six year old about the eternal ramifications of discontentment? The dads talk about modeling gratitude and joyfulness, rather than self-pity and criticism…some of the biggest causes of ingratitude and grumbling in a family…how to lovingly and consistently correct complaining…and the strategies that have helped them the most to create a thankful spirit in their homes.

When the media calls homeschooling "weird," Kevin and Danny say: guilty as charged. They discuss why loving your children, rejecting state indoctrination, and building on a biblical worldview looks strange to a culture that can't even answer basic biological questions...which worldview actually produces critical thinkers...and why God's bar for "successful" is so much different than the world's.

What does Scripture say about burning vs. burial? Cremation has gone from 0.01 percent in 1900 to 63 percent in 2026. At the same time, pagan practices like tattoos and piercings have exploded in popularity also. Does how we treat the body matter – and if not, what's wrong with cannibalism? Does destroying the image of God in fire communicate something, vs. planting it in the ground? And how does the resurrection factor in?
