The two best-selling "Christian" books of the last decade were "The Shack" and "Jesus Calling." Is this a reformation of Christian literature? "The Shack" has sold 25 million copies, and "Jesus Calling" has sold 15 million, and "The Shack" will be produced as a major motion picture, coming out in a few weeks. Here's the big question we address here. . . . How do you speak with "Christian" friends who like "The Shack" and other similarly bad books?
There are political deceptions — and then there are spiritual deceptions. When Christians start chasing the shadows instead of standing in the light, Satan has already won. From JFK to COVID, from the deep state to the dark web, conspiracy thinking is swallowing up discernment. This is not harmless curiosity — it's the Devil's diversion.
Taylor Swift is the biggest pop phenomenon since Michael Jackson, 117 Guinness World Records, the successor of the Beatles . . . and on and on the accolades go. She is pro-abortion, pro-gay, but most importantly, "pro-me." She represents the current "I feel" zeitgeist better than anything. The me-centered, feelings-dominated modern male and female appreciate the worship services led by Taylor Swift—89,000 at a time. She also leads the world from decadence to despair, unlike any other popular cultural icon of the last half century. Christians teach just the opposite . . . hope, self-denial, and God-centeredness.
What happens when the world of science no longer fears God? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus expose the chilling consequences of man's attempt to play Creator—from Oregon scientists fabricating human eggs from skin cells to the moral collapse surrounding the Covid vaccine era. In a world rushing toward genetic manipulation, artificial conception, and blind trust in "the experts," Christians must recover a theology of science grounded in the fear of the Lord.
Should a Christian love justice? Or only love? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus confront one of the most misunderstood commands in modern Christianity. As America's battle over abortion intensifies, they expose how a false view of "love" has softened the Church's witness—and why biblical justice must never be separated from mercy.
Is anonymity quietly discipling you? The dads contrast surface-level groups with the biblical fellowship that knows names, bears burdens, and insists on hope plus discipline. They lay out a path for men: confess honestly, believe the promises, re-commit to the Word and gathered worship, invite accountability, and keep coming back week after week. This is gospel courage with guardrails—truth, love, and long-haul patience.
It's post-modern. It's hip. It's new. It's "contemporary." It's a revolution! Over the last 30 years, we have seen a total revolution of the music in the Church, representing a radical cultural change more significant than anything seen in at least 500 years! Is this a good thing or bad thing? Now, there is an important question – a one billion dollar question. Does this radical change in culture and music indicate a wonderful reformation and revival in the church, among our teens, or is it just more of the breakdown of the institution of the family, generational continuity, and culture. Is it a breakdown of the faith? Dr. T. David Gordon, professor of Religion and Greek at Grove City College addresses these questions with a thoughtful new book, "Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns," and he interacts with host Kevin Swanson on this edition of Generations.
What does the Bible say about alcohol? How about smoking? It can be easy for Christians to fall into one of two ditches: legalism or anti-nomianism. However, while fundamentalist Christians are worried about things like drinking, smoking, or dancing, they tend to ignore the problem of gluttony. On the other side, while wanting to enjoy alcohol, entertainment, etc, do these things start to take the place of true joy and fulfillment, which can only be obtained through God?
Four fault lines run through the U.N. story: centralized power, moral inversion, cultural engineering, and chronic failure on justice. This conversation contrasts a pro-liberty stand with decades of globalist overreach—from UNFPA and UNICEF agendas to the ICC and Arms Trade Treaty. Will Christians push back before one-world rule hardens?
Kevin and Bill discuss a recent racially-motivated murder and the uproar that it caused in the media. Are all murders, whether they be the murder of little babies in the womb or sensationalized crimes, treated the same way by the major media? What is the impact of racially-motivated murders? Should Christians make a big deal about the color of someone's skin, or should we acknowledge that all men and women, regardless of skin color, are sinners and all need to be saved and washed by the blood of Jesus Christ?
Tired, busy, and unsure where to start? This conversation lays out a doable blueprint for dads: short passages, honest discussion, concrete application, and prayer that engages toddlers through twenty-somethings. Learn how to prepare in ten minutes, keep attention spans, measure retention, and overcome the real obstacles—fatigue, fear, and inconsistency—so Scripture becomes the daily soundtrack of your home.
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.
his wife and children were not there.
