What is the relationship between family and church — and how important should church be in the family’s priorities? If the church itself is a family, how does the natural family fit into it…without getting erased? How much should Sunday revolve around church (and the rest of the week)? What are the ways dad should be engaging at church — and how can every member of the household find a place and get involved?

Kevin and Josh tackle a question about the place of emotions in the life of the Christian. They talk about how our emotions relate to our affections…three biblical foundations that root our emotional expressions…what proper emotion in worship should look like…whether we are responsible for what we feel…the biblical means for training our emotions…and whether the modern idea of triggering is just emotional manipulation.

Doug Wilson’s video about why not to homeschool has 25,000 views in 6 months. But is he right? Kevin and Danny discuss what we are raising our children to be — and whether classical schooling gets there. Can Aristotle teach us to debate better than Peter? Is academics the chief focus — or just a fraction of full-orbed discipleship and dominion? Can the trivium produce worshipers? Ultimately, should school be the center of gravity for a family?

Alex Newman, editor at New American Magazine, discusses his research into the Epstein scandal. How bad was it really? (Turns out it can’t adequately be described on a family show.) Will the men involved get away with it? Why do witnesses keep dying? Why are the authorities doing so little, when they exist to punish evil? Would indicting the key players leave a leadership vacuum in the US? And how should the church respond?

With the average marriage age at 29–32, the average man hooked on porn, and the average woman a feminist, it’s not easy finding godly suitors. How are we to identify them? How picky should we be? Bill and Todd share their lists of non-negotiables, and the panel discusses sending kids out in search of spouses…the dangers of “courtship” (and what to do instead)…whether chaperones are a good idea….and avoiding heartbreak.

Where did the universe come from? The big bang is the most popular theory, with 70% of Americans being believers. But how did that happen? Where did the matter come from? How can we get evidence from 13.8 billion years ago, to test this theory? And if these conjectures cannot be truly tested, are they really science? Kevin and Bill discuss the limits of scientific inquiry, the testimony of Scripture, and how evolutionism actually destroys science.

How bad is transgenderism? Does God abominate it as he does other sexual perversions? Can you be a “transgender Christian” or is that like saying an “incestuous Christian” or a “wiccan Christian?” If a young Christian man comes to believe he is actually a woman, just how serious is that, and what should we say to him? More importantly, what will Christ say on the last day — if he doesn’t repent?

In the 1600s, the best of the Reformation converged on America…covenanted together under God…and took His law as the basis for their government. By 1880, America had the largest GDP in the world. Today, Americans contribute 90% of global charity. God’s blessing has rested on us for 250 years, and to this day, we are the most God-blessed nation. Kevin and Danny discuss what happened to bring such blessing…and whether it could happen again.

Kevin talks with Owen Strachan about how Christ restores relationships as well as truth — and the surprising elements of the gospel which attract gen Z. They look at the natural life through supernatural lenses, discussing the revolutionary act of building healthy, joyful lives…the appeal of structure, stability, and order…and whether we are pilgrims on the way to the celestial city, or dominion-takers doing something of eternal consequence in this world.
