Is singing the Psalms a biblical command, or just an old tradition? Kevin and Josh ask what "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs" means...and why the Psalter all but disappeared from American church life over the last 250 years. From Hippolytus and Pliny the Younger to the Genevan Psalter, Luther, and the 19th-century hymn revivals, they trace how gospel songs and sentimentalism gradually displaced the Psalms...and why bringing them back is essential for the singing of the church.

Attending college is one of the most critical decisions for a young person – and not for the reasons you might think. Kevin and Danny sit down to reveal just how bad college is. They talk about their own experiences,…what the data shows…why Christian colleges are even riskier than secular ones…why college should never be the default option…and questions to ask to discern whether it’s worth the risk.

What made Desmond Doss carry 75 men off Hacksaw Ridge, one at a time, under enemy fire, praying only "Lord, help me get one more"? Kevin is joined by Eric Ludy of Ellerslie to unpack the Medal of Honor story behind Hacksaw Ridge and ask a harder question: how do ordinary men train, in the small daily moments, for the extraordinary ones?

Some homes raise kids under a list of man-made rules — others let anything go. Both are a form of rebellion against God. The dads discuss how fathers can set biblical standards for movies, music, and modesty in the home without sliding into either ditch, and why the motive behind a standard matters as much as the standard itself.

The U.S. deficit keeps climbing, Gen Z is pouring retirement money into sports betting, and crypto speculation is at an all-time high. Kevin and Bill ask the question: when did gambling start passing for investing? They dig into the biblical difference between creating wealth and merely obtaining it by luck... and why a culture that's lost its character can't be fixed by policy alone.

Jesus gave the apostles and the seventy-two direct power over unclean spirits... but is that authority universal, or was it unique to them? Kevin and Josh work through Luke 10, Acts, and Ephesians 6 to ask what delegated authority actually means for believers today. Should we be casting out demons?

By 2031, public schools could lose another 3.4 million students to falling birth rates and rising homeschool numbers. Kevin and Danny make the case that this isn't just a trend; it's a values shift. They tackle the topics of trusting God with family size, wrestling with anger and control as a parent, and why every inconvenient child is a gift.

The odds of a single living cell assembling by chance are 1 in 10 to the 50,000th power…and evolutionists still won't admit it's over. Kevin Swanson breaks down the staggering complexity of DNA, RNA, and the ATP synthase motor…why "dirt can't write software"…and why Sir Fred Hoyle himself recanted his atheism at the end of his life. Then Bill Jack joins Kevin to talk phrenology, punctuated equilibrium, and why 92% of biology professors now believe gender is a social construct.

The dads discuss the difficult process of preserving and growing your relationship with kids who are leaving for marriage – rather than stepping back too far or holding on too tight. They talk about how parents can keep from saying too much – or too little – while appropriately backing off…the proper alternative to feeling that you’re “losing a child”…and how they have personally navigated these difficult but blessed times.

Massachusetts is so empathetic for mothers who “need” to murder their children that it has now removed the previous restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks. Kevin and Bill discuss how the wicked abuse language to make abortion seem compassionate and loving…the history of abortion in the US…the inevitable connection between abortion and euthanasia…and how to think biblically on a topic that more and more Christians seem confused about.
