    • S1 E22: The Demise of Society

      Part 3 of our series The Conspiracy Against the Family focuses on the demise of society.  Listen as host Michael Folkes highlights the crucial role of fathers and mothers in the lives of their children and their impact on society.  When parents or guardians fail to rear children in the reverence and discipline of God, the consequences are detrimental to society.  However, when parents raise children based on God's instructions, children are much more likely to become decent, loving, and responsible adults.  Illustrations are given from the Bible.

    • S1 E21: God's Ideal Thwarted

      This episode is part two of our series on The Conspiracy Against the Family.  Listen as we highlight the crucial role of God's communication to His children for the purpose of our well-being as it pertains to our origin and to the family, the way God defines it.  God created the Biblical family and holds absolute control of it.  It cannot be redefined or improved upon.  Any such attempts seek to undermine God and harm us.
