In our tenth special Lion's Den episode, Dr. Ballard fields listener-submitted questions, with an emphasis on Thanksgiving.

No matter our place in life, we all have a duty to the family. In this episode, Dr. Ballard explores our God-given responsibilities as spouses, parents, and children, working to glorify God through our example.

Election Day may have come and gone, but we're far from having all the answers. In the midst of this ongoing political uncertainty, President Ballard addresses how Christians should respond in faith.

As the election looms, we have to ask ourselves: what are our responsibilities to our countries as Christian citizens? In this episode, Dr. Ballard explores our duties to our government and our country according to God's Word, giving respect to both earthly and divine authority.

In our ninth edition of Lion's Den, Dr. Ballard responds to viewer questions on why churches should remain in the SBC, and how a Christian should vote according to his or her biblical values.

After the family and government, the next institution given by God is the church itself. Today, Dr. Ballard explores church's foundation by God, its function on earth, and its future in the Kingdom.

After creating the family, God established the second institution: government. In this episode, Dr. Ballard explores how government was established by God, its functions on earth, and how we live as citizens under it.

When God created mankind, He created with it the first institution: the family. In this episode, Dr. Ballard looks to Genesis for answers on what the family is, its roles in the world, and why it is the underpinning of all of society.

For our eighth special Lion's Den episode, Dr. Ballard answers questions about when it's appropriate to leave a church, how to have more consistent quiet times, and more details about his latest book, Words Matter.

God's people have always faced tension between their responsibilities as citizens on earth and as citizens of God's kingdom. To help us understand this balance, Dr. Ballard looks in depth at Jesus's own statement on the subject, of rendering to God what is God's and Caesar's what is Caesar's.
