Every child exhibits rebellion, because we are all rebels by nature. But, what about the prodigal teen that takes the wrong path and exhibits full-bore rebellion? What is the right way to react to rebellion? What are the steps to take when dealing with chronic rebellion issues in the home? We pulled together a full panel of four dads to tackle this one.

Japan exemplifies Proverbs 14:34 unlike any other nation, turning into a reproach and an embarrassment in the world scene. Japan's birth implosion and economic debacle is the worst in the world. But here's the history of it, beginning with a visit by the most evil woman in the world in 1922. The nation invited this American Jezebel back to address their parliament in 1954. They went on to kill 70 percent of their children throughout the 1950s, setting themselves up for a gross humiliation in later centuries.

We tackle some of the more controversial and divisive questions on the program, including this question: Should my kids take the Lord's Supper? While the things that should unify us usually divide us in the Christian church, we do our best here to keep this conversation edifying, biblical, and balanced (majors and minors-wise). We draw in 1 Corinthians 11, and discuss whether the warnings apply to children. Then, we address the parental responsibilities in overseeing the children who participate.

A highly sexualized, kid-grooming, rated-R society calls for parents who are on their game when it comes to media and child-training. What are the risks of starting too early, and what are the dangers of starting too late, when guiding a child around the bear traps and landmines of sexual imagery? What about detecting soft porn and the "hentai" of anime? Homeschool mom Greta Eskridge offers some helpful pointers in this edition of Generations.

Here are the lessons learned from those who have been de-banked, de-platformed, and de-everything elsed over the last 15 years. We are encouraged by Trump's Inter-Agency Anti-Christian Bias Task Force. The federal government is rolling back its persecutions, but then again . . . Right Wing Watch and the SPLC are very much alive and well. But keep in mind, the lions are tied down. Preach on, and lead on for the cause of righteousness.

How does Lot raise his kids in Sodom? Evidently, it didn't work out well for Lot. But, how do we speak of the sins of Sodom with our children? What if an uncle wishes to justify his sinful lifestyle in the presence of your family? These are real and present, critical questions for every Christian family living in Sodom today. The dad panel talks the right perspective to take on the world and the right way to speak of the world with our children today.

Socialism has removed freedoms from the world, and that's not been corrected for 150 years. Meanwhile, the Global Freedom Index by Freedom House is slipping for 19 years in a row. Global freedoms are disappearing since the Christian church has failed to locate the salt mines. But how would we restore political liberties to the world?

What does the Bible say about worship, and the regulative principle of worship? When do we cross the Matthew 15 line, and witness the displacing of God's law by the traditions of men? Worship has turned more freeform of recent, but are we getting off base? We take a look at the regulative principle of worship and recommend getting to the spirit of the law, and better identifying when we are making the law of God of none effect by our traditions. We take up a few applications. What about Elvis Presley doing a solo performance in the worship? Or, what about cutting off the heads of chickens, puppet shows, and movie clips? What about reincorporating psalm singing in the worship?

Daily marijuana use is much higher than daily alcohol use in America today. While it's important for Christians not to simply have a knee-jerk reaction to things like gambling or drunkenness, and completely swing the other way, what does the Bible say about the use of drugs like marijuana? The Bible says, "strong drink for the dying." Are there really 17 million people (the number of daily marijuana users) in America on the death trajectory today? And, if not, what does this high use of marijuana say about the hopelessness of Americans?

Disney continues to stumble kids with their recent show, "Andor." Sin, and sexual sin in particular, is insidious, working its way into movies like Star Wars or Toy Story. Is it a good idea for parents to allow their children to watch Disney? In addition to this discussion, this program also covers Warren Buffet and his support for abortion. Warren Buffet is one of the biggest supporters of abortion. While Warren Buffet is extremely well-regarded in the finance world, God cares more about the slaughter of innocent babies in the womb.
