Cowardice, people-pleasing, apathy, self-seeking — these sins are passive and easy to overlook. But when indulged, relationships dwindle, children drift, and households disintegrate. The panel discusses the pride that causes conflict-avoidance…right and wrong ways to say, "I don't want to argue about this"….the right time to be silent or emotionally detached…and how to engage, even when it's hard.

With 166 standing ovations in a single address, the State of the Union revealed more than policy priorities — it exposed the heart of America. Kevin and Bill review the real accomplishments along with the issues left unaddressed, in Trump's 2026 State of the Union address.

Is patriarchy biblical, misunderstood, or misused? In this conversation, Kevin and Josh challenge both feminist rejection and reactionary overcorrection, insisting that Scripture defines authority through love, responsibility, and care. True headship looks less like control and more like Christ laying down His life.

The media we're ingesting is often toxic. But how bad is it? Kevin talks to author Doug Smith about how cleverly our smartphones are designed to disciple us in the seven deadly sins, when we sit down, when we travel, when we go to bed, and when we wake up. Doug shares five biblical practices to reshape us in the image of God, so we can be disciplined in our habits, and diligent in our callings.

Many of the world's most influential intellectuals have argued that morality can stand apart from God, yet the Epstein scandal — touching figures across science, finance, politics, and royalty such as Prince Andrew — has challenged that confidence. Kevin and Danny explore how elite claims of moral autonomy collide with the reality of conscience and accountability.

Your marriage should tell the story of the gospel — but irritation and busyness often drag it off course, especially once you have kids. The panel talks about practical ways to cultivate friendship and affection with your wife (both physically and emotionally)…fostering oneness and guarding intimacy…and maintaining margin for each other without neglecting work and children.

What actually produces embittered homeschooled kids? This conversation examines the patterns that provoke children to wrath — control without relationship, structure without vision, and homes disconnected from church and community. Kevin and Danny call families back to a God-centered model of education rooted in Scripture and relational discipleship.

If you don't believe the right gospel, you're going to hell. So what is the gospel? Kevin and Josh talk about the key elements that Scripture spells out — and ask why one of the chief ones is so often omitted and ignored in the modern church. There is something extremely wrong with the typical summary that "Jesus died for our sins," and this is reflected in the deep sickness that is killing evangelicalism.

Kevin and Bill talk about the patterns of our cultural disintegration, and how they are reflected in the changes to the half-time show over the past 60 years. Events like these incrementally adjust worldviews by pushing the envelope of what people feel is acceptable to society. But how should we engage with those who think it was just a celebration of diversity? How do we avoid groupthink, and point out that the emperor has no clothes? Multiculturalism is meant for a pass on bad morality, but not for us.

Both negative and positive examples are important in Scripture: bad guys are a warning, and good guys are a model. Kevin discusses his top five best and worst US presidents…the seven criteria for judging whether they were good or bad…the pattern to why righteous or unrighteous presidents appear at certain times…why Abraham Lincoln doesn't make either list…and which president was the worst in US history.
