What does it mean for us as husbands and fathers to sacrificially serve and love our wives and children? What perspectives can we adopt to help us do this well? What disconnects us from the needs of our wives and families? Is there a contradiction between a servant and leader mentality? Kevin, Todd, Bill, and Danny discuss these and other related questions on this edition of Discipleship for Dads.

The civil government is given a responsibility by God but hasn't followed through on it well since the 1920s. Genesis 9:6 and Romans 13:4 are clear. The trend was set in the wrong direction in 1846, largely due to the influence of one man, John O'Sullivan. His worldview was dead wrong. We touch on the gradation of priorities set before the civil magistrate by God according to the standards of biblical law. Which national governments are doing better than others?

What is a woman to do when she finds herself with an unbelieving husband or a husband that simply just isn't engaged in the spiritual life of the home? This is a situation that requires a great deal of wisdom from the wife. There is something to be learned from Abigail in the Bible, but what else does the Bible say about a woman who may find herself in this kind of circumstance?

A book on vampirism and witchcraft. Another on the pointlessness of life for a twelve-year-old. Another on suicide and tolerance. How does a parent transform the library and discern the best books for their kids? Korrie Johnson joins us to explain how she does it in her hometown in Minnesota.

Here again is one more nail in the coffin of a dead and dying, weak and wobbly faith. The recent promotion of homosexuality from Chip and Joanna Gaines illustrates once more where the modern evangelical perception of the Gospel, faith, and grace has lost all integrity, robustness, and biblical meaning.

Nothing is more important than raising sons to be shepherd-leaders in the family and church. We want our sons to be Christians and churchmen who love the body of Christ. But what about those sons who appear to be on a leadership track? Would you send them to a liberal arts college and then off to a cemetery, or even a seminary? How would Jesus prepare a young son for leadership?

Citadels fell to Christ during the "dark ages." Jesus won over and over again. But how in the world did He penetrate the terrifying Viking world? How did Christ win over the hardest, toughest, and severest people in the world? Here is a thrilling story of all stories told by one who has studied this world as well as having lived there.

Should America or Christians in general be actively seeking to defend the nation of Israel? What is to be said for the Seed of Abraham inheriting the world? The rising tide of antisemitism and wars in the Middle East bring the question of the nation of Israel to the forefront in the minds of many Christians. We ask the question, "What does the Bible say about that?" But our real task here is to train us all how to handle the trunk and the leaves, the quarrelsome and the questionable, the divisive and the controversial, the camels and gnats in theology. While we may not answer all the questions that various Christian sects would prefer us answer, we stick to core issues here as a matter of principle.

Does moral integrity matter when it comes to a conservative politician with excellent policy positions? And how does a Christian interact with the Epstein scandal, the fallout, and the related conspiracy theories? Applying biblical categories reduces the confusion and consternation on this. Bottom line here—we all sin. But, how will principled conservatives handle this in their own lives, and as demonstrated in the lives of others?

We reminisce on the life and times of John MacArthur—which makes up about 1/20th of the history of the Christian church. These were days of scandal, of growth, of apostasy, of lions in the pulpit and Christian media. Pastor John was the last of the lions He wasn't afraid of controversy—a stalwart, always steadfast in his attempt to remain biblical on every issue. Even his enemies had to admit he was the most influential voice in evangelical and reformed Christianity at the turn of the 21st Century.
