Proud, hypocritical spouses are sadly not unusual in Christian homes. Unsubmissive wives who refuse to attend church — or unloving husbands who refuse to lead the family. They claim Christ, but won't follow Him. So is there anything you can you do? Can you "fix" your spouse? Is church discipline appropriate? Is it different dealing with a bad husband vs a bad wife? The panel lays out practical strategies and biblical principles.

If you wanted to start a world war, history suggests that the proper procedure would be: institute tariffs; stir up nationalistic fervor; insult world leaders who don't agree with you; find an economic cataclysm (unaffordable housing would do nicely)…and perform a high-level assassination. Kevin and Bill discuss America's historic decision to assassinate a foreign leader — and what it means for the world we live in.

Jesus calls us to hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans — but should we hate the Nicolaitans themselves? God claims to hate and abhor sinners in some places, and He gives us imprecatory psalms which invoke curses upon them. Should we not be singing Psalm 137 as Christians — or is there a way to do so while also obeying the command to "love your enemies and bless them that curse you"?

Use of "fear of the Lord" has dropped dramatically, while use of the F-word has increased 20× since the 1980s, with even political leaders normalizing it. Kevin and Danny ask why even Christians are dropping F-oul bombs today. Is it authentic, rejecting a fake veneer of "polite society"? Is it just "food offered to idols," where there is a way to eat without sin? Or is it actually a sign of another different religion with a Christian skin?

A rising tide of antisemitism is emerging in Reformed Baptist and Presbyterian circles. Jacob Tanner joins Kevin Swanson to discuss the Antioch Declaration, why he signed, and why antisemitism is a real threat to the church today.

What plans would you change if you knew you were doing to die tomorrow? Forget money — what will your children remember you for? What do you want to pass on to them in turn…and what do you NOT want to pass on? The panel talks about the inheritance they have received…the inheritance they intend to leave…how to course-correct a bad legacy…and how to bring forth an inheritance that endures.

America is the most God-blessed nation, and has retained a Christian heritage far exceeding any other. But are we at a tipping point? Kevin speaks to Sam Russ about five criteria of a Christian nation, and the historical evidence that America was one…and could still be. They discuss the appointment of Reformed evangelical Pete Hegseth as Secretary of War, what it may indicate about the times we are living in…and what we as Christians must do.

With the new craze over weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, how should Christians respond? Kevin and Josh talk about God's values vs society's, how humanism naturally leads to worshiping the body — and how we become what we behold. Then they go to the Scriptures for a holistic doctrine of stewardship that helps us to live well, without forbidding foods, turning our bodies into idols, or over-emphasizing the physical at the expense of the spiritual.

Abortion and LGBTQ issues have zero traction in politics any more. So should we jettison social conservatism for fiscal? Kevin talks with Bill Jack about the utter lack of substance behind Republican fiscal policy. We're doing worse on the deficit-to-GDP ratio in this fiscal year than Biden did in every year of his office. So what should we do when conservatives don't care about social sins, and are more liberal on spending than liberals?

Marco Rubio's landmark speech to the Munich Security Council called Europe back to its Christian foundations — but is anyone listening? Kevin Swanson and Sam Rust examine the alarming statistics of church decline across Western Europe, the rapid growth of Islam on the continent, and what it all means for the future of Christian civilization. Is there enough salt left to preserve the West, or are we watching the final stages of a judgment long in the making?
