Dr. Collette House is an accomplished educator  who is part of the governing board for the Association of Christian Schools International while serving as the Superintendent of Aurora Christian Schools in Illinois.

Recently, Illinois has become a front in the culture wars as the state's littlest citizens are put in harm's way through the adoption and implementation of new state teaching and learning academic standards.   As district schools and university teaching programs work to rid state standards of the "evils" of racism, homophobia, unearned privilege, and Eurocentrism, it would seem that Biblical worldview is also being displaced as part of the "New Enlightenment".  As an ACSI board member, school leader, and public education advisory committee member, Dr. Collette House has a front row seat to the whole debacle.

But, her advice to parents may surprise you.  Give up the ship?  Retreat?  Surrender the culture?

Not exactly.  Today's Kingdom Culture Conversation is a stirring call to action!

Did God intend for us to enjoy marijuana recreationally and medicinally?  Could this be what He meant when, in Genesis 1:29, God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it."

Today's "What about? Wednesday" episode of Kingdom Culture Conversations finds Robby Lashua, of Stand to Reason, tackling some aspects of the legalized marijuana debate that is raging in the culture presently:  If it's legal, natural, and medicinally beneficial, should we not be free to enjoy marijuana as Christ followers?  A growing number of members of the Evangelical culture are saying "yes".  Are they correct?

What is this Kingdom Culture Conversation podcast tradition, " 'What About?' Wednesday"?   Every-other-Wednesday, we are joined by Robby Lashua, of Stand to Reason Ministries, an apologetics ministry based in Southern California.

Proverbs 12:10 is pretty clear:  "The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel."

Does that mean that hunting is prohibited in scripture and that, as Christ followers, we should not be involved in hunting or fishing?

In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, we are joined by Northwest Christian alumni (class of '20) alumni Wes McClenny.  During his time at Northwest Christian, Wes was involved and instrumental in the school's outdoor adventure club, the Adventure Cru.  Wes is employed at Cabela's where he works in the fishing division.  And, he's deeply investing in mentoring young people as part of the Christian Hunters of America.

How will Wes justify his commitment to hunting and fishing in light of scripture?  What does he do with a verse like Proverbs 12:10?

Twice in April 2022, members of the CCV youth ministry team have been involved in chapel.  Riley Reinhardt--a student within the CCV Leadership Institute--spoke at the beginning of the month.  And, Ryan Schultz and Matt Newman will be speaking in two day's time on April 20th.

Today, in a Kingdom Culture Conversation that encompasses three leading voices in youth ministry, we talk through three or four major take-aways from a recent Pew Survey that worked to connect the dots between parents and students in terms of worldviews and the perpetuation of faith within a family.  Are there habits and disciplines within a family that lead to sustainable faith and commitment to Christ?

Walt Disney, the Beatles, Harry Potter, Martin Scorsese, Starbucks, Heinz, Wells Fargo, and Home Depot.  All these brands--and many others to boot--have been literally given the boot by evangelical families who placed them on the business end of boycott. 

In today's "What about?" episode of Kingdom Culture Conversations, a student asks, "Is it possible that we're now on the receiving end of the sword that we originally forged?"  In other words did evangelical boycotts establish the foundation upon which today's cancel culture is based?  In the 80's, 90's, and 00's, we were happy to short-change these businesses to get our way--but now that the sparks have jumped from the firepit and the prevailing direction of the cultural bonfire of vanities is moving in a uniquely different direction, could it be that we were the ones that originally lit the fire?

You will hear it said in today's Kingdom Culture Conversation:  "Lee Humes was a force of nature."  Lee was the founder of Deep Within Rehab, a self-supporting residential drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Peoria, Arizona.  But, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lord call Lee home to glory.  So, did Deep Within pack its bags and call it a day?

No.  Another force of nature took over.  Cindy Humes is Lee's widow and every bit the spiritual dynamo that her husband was.  Having grown up in dysfunctional homes, Cindy knows the pains of drug/alcohol addiction and abuse.  Further, she's reared her family within the same residence used by Deep Within.

And, today, Deep Within continues without missing a beat.

How did this happen?  What is it like to live day-in and day-out with those that are struggling with addiction?  How bad is addiction and abuse becoming on the streets?  Today's Kingdom Culture Conversations addresses these questions in an unflinching fashion.

And, introduces you to the matriarch or Deep Within--a champion you won't soon forget.

Today's "What about? Wednesday" episode of Kingdom Culture Conversation presents a unique twist on the recent and raging debate over the use of preferred pronouns.  A student asked the increasingly common question regarding preferred pronouns this way:  "I understand that Biblical worldview presents the truth that genders are not fluid.  But, if I have a non-Christian friend who doesn't hold to this perspective and asks me to use their preferred pronoun, what should I do?  On the one hand, I want to hold to my convictions about the truth of scripture.  On the other hand, if I don't use my friend's preferred pronoun, I might lose my friendship and the opportunity to share the love of Christ."

Tough question.  Today's episode provides tough answers.

Katy Hubbard is a Northwest Christian alumni, a current Crusader parent, and the Kids Ministry Director at the Anthem campus of Palmcroft Church.  She is also passionate about helping the K-5th grade students that she works with to understand the priority of God's word.

Sadly, recent statistics have pointed to a precipitous and alarming decline in Biblical literacy since 2009.   The resulting confusion about God's word has given rise to fallacies and confusion regarding the truths that scripture presents--a significant variable in undermining American culture--to the point where certain percentages of the world today believe that figures like Harry Potter and Superman are found in the Bible.

How did this happen?  How do we fix it within our families and churches?  What if we don't get around the front of this?  Today's riveting Kingdom Culture Conversation wrestles with these questions and points us towards understanding that we can make a difference in this decline.

After a run of KCC episodes in which Mr. G has been absent as one of the two KCC hosts, there have been some expressions of curiosity:  "Hey, where's G?"

Chris Gardiners has been in Fort Jackson, South Carolina, completing training as a military chaplain in the U.S. Army Reserve.  In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, Geoff Brown catches up with G to hear about how that training is going, why chaplains are such an integral part of the military, and how the conflict between Ukraine and Russia is impacting the soldiers and chaplains in the U.S. Army.

It's a stirring episode in which PTSD, suicide, combat stress, and how the potential for large scale, global conflict is part of the sacrificial, courageous life of a soldier.

It's all over the headlines and certainly the topic of choice around most school campuses and in most American homes:  what are the implications of the Russian/Ukrainian war?  Specifically, as Christ followers, how should we respond?  Students are asking:  Is war ever justified?  Under what circumstances?  What about the Biblical prohibition against murder and the concept of loving our neighbors as ourselves?  In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, Robby Lashua joins Geoff Brown to unpack scripture around these questions.
