What are the marks of a true revival? Enormous amounts of people baptized on the same day? Kevin and Josh tackle a listener question on what to make of the cool, tattooed mega-church pastor who's drawing crowds and emptying small congregations. They turn to Acts 2 and church history to ask what real revival actually looks like.

With national debt at 124% of GDP and the stock market overpriced by historic measures, Kevin is joined by Rory Groves to discuss the coming economic earthquake of 2027-2028. They compare today's debt-to-GDP ratios with Larry Burkett's 1991 warnings...lay out a biblical vision for rebuilding family economy...and exhort every family to have a vision and mission beyond the paycheck.

The data is in, and it reads like a commentary on Deuteronomy 6. A major new study covered by Fox News found that children raised in homes where faith was discussed several times a week, where both parents attended church, and where fathers built strong bonds with their children were substantially more likely to remain faithful as adults. Kevin and Danny discuss the findings...and make the case that the means God has always ordained for generational faith is not the Sunday school or the youth group...but the home.

When in-laws criticize and undermine your parenting choices, what do you do? When trying to reason together just creates contention, how should you respond? When a mother-in-law shows interest in only the grandchildren she likes and ignores the others, what is the right course? The dads discuss biblical strategies, and assess cutting off contact…whether "boundaries" are biblical…what the role of the church is…and a smart tactic for honoring bad in-laws.

The latest Gallup poll shows 9% of U.S. adults now identify as LGBTQ, which is almost triple the 3.7% recorded in 2014. But here's what the same poll also shows: public support for homosexuality has dropped from 71% to 65% in just two to three years, with Republican support cratering from 55% to 37%. Is the pride phenomenon finally running out of steam? Kevin is joined by Sam Rust to discuss this shift today.

People are leaving evangelical churches and flocking to Eastern Orthodoxy in search of something ancient, serious, and reverent. But is trading one set of forms for really the answer? Kevin and Josh weigh the claims of Orthodoxy against the Word of God — and find that the apostles say nothing about icons, prayers to saints, or the mystical epistemology at the heart of Orthodox theology.

A new report reveals that American children are the unhealthiest in the world, both mentally and physically. Kevin and Danny discuss disease, lack of exercise, and overeating…along with sin, chronic anxiety, and the renewal of the mind. They ask if ADHD is real, or just a combination of family chaos, distraction, and self-control problems—and they share powerful stories of the role of the Holy Spirit in the healing of seemingly insurmountable conditions.

What made America different from France, Russia, or Germany in the 18th century? Was it mere geography or politics, or something deeper? Kevin is joined by Tim Barton and Alex Newman for a conversation about the Christian foundations that shaped the nation's founding, and asking whether there is still hope for a people who drifted far away from these roots.

The dads discuss fiery trials, and what has God taught them through these. They talk about long-term grinding down vs sudden crushing…the value of being forced to wait on the promises of God…how responding to bad news without complaint powerfully proves the faith to your kids…and the great balm of the psalms for the pain of asking, "Is God being good to me right now?"

Should Christians vote Republican no matter what…even for adulterers or homosexuals? Kevin and Bill discuss God's requirements for magistrates, and how Christians must vote in light of these. They discuss having your eyes on the end of the land without knowing what's happening in your own back yard…the unimportance of presidential elections…specific examples of how Christians can influence politics…and two critical questions to ask any candidate running for office.
