Smartphones are disrupting kids' relationships, depersonalizing sexuality, drawing away their affections, and influencing their beliefs – but we can't very well ask our elders how they dealt with these problems in their day. Kevin talks with Phillip Telfer, author of "Help! The Smartphone Ate My Family" about surviving the digital age as a parent. They discuss the importance of guardrails, rules, awareness, conversations, and escape routes…and the methods Phillip himself has used to keep his kids safe.

The kingdom of God begins in a garden, while cities are depicted as centers and symbols of rebellion and pride. The first city is built by Cain, succeeded by Babel, Sodom, Nineveh, even Jerusalem. Yet God calls us to seek the peace of the cities we live in…and He himself has a city, the New Jerusalem. With many Christians fleeing America's big cities, Kevin and Josh search the Scriptures to ask: are they right?

30% of Americans dabble in the occult. 30% of Gen-Z women are on the LGBT spectrum. Only 36 women now attend church for every 43 men—a total flip from 20 years ago. What is happening? Kevin talks with Sam Rust about the link between our cultural moment and the baalism of ancient Israel…how the suffragettes were motivated by Satanism…why modern women are so unhappy…and how Christian men can personally help draw women back to the faith.

For this special edition celebrating America's 250th birthday, Kevin is joined once again by George Grant. They discuss the defining moments and defining faith behind America's founding, as well as tje thread of reformed Christian conviction that modern historians want to erase. Finally, they make the case that the Christian heritage isn't gone yet...the deeper the roots, the harder they die.

Is America salvageable, or are we headed the way of post-Christian England? Pluralism promises to accommodate every religion, but every government is built on somebody's law, and it's either God's law or man's tyranny. As England's outgoing prime minister brags about the "gayest parliament in the world", Kevin and Danny discuss the effects of pluralism on American culture, and how God's law is the only foundation that can maximize liberty, restrain tyranny, and salvage a nation.

In this follow-up to last week's program about navigating spritual crises of faith, the dads talk about what to do when your child has already abandoned the faith. They discuss how this is one of the most painful trials a Christian can face...what loving the apostate child looks like...and why a father's trust in God may speak louder than anything else.
