Does worldview matter? Do basic foundational doctrines really matter in the lives of Christians? A new study from Barna shows that only 11 percent of American adults believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, while 16 percent of self-proclaimed Christians hold to it. The number of Gen Z’s who believe in the Trinity comes in at only 8 percent. The doctrine of the Trinity has been largely neglected in churches today in favor of more “relevant” topics, the 20-minute homily, and the 40-minute music program. But not being grounded in the most basic doctrines makes one susceptible to false teachers. So how do we overcome this as we raise the next generation? First, check the foundations and worldview of everything you and your children participate in. Give your children a proper worldview as you teach them, and then instruct them on how to cast down every imagination and every high thing that exalts itself above Christ.

In 1937, Disney's Snow White made $4 billion (adjusted for inflation), and is one of the highest-grossing films as of today. However, the most recent remake of Snow White, filled with feminism, Marxism, and socialism, has just bombed at the box office. Disney has dialed in on the wokeism of the day and continues to lose money. However, where did these stories originally come from, and what was the worldview of their authors? Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack explore the Grimm brothers, the fates, and the synthesis of Christianity and paganism that is present in many Grimm fairy tales.

As our daughters grow older, it's important to address the topic of their future, whether this be as a single woman or a married woman. It's important for women to invest in economics and household management. However, if a girl or woman is interested in ministry work specifically, how can they prepare for this calling, even from a young age?

In this segment of Discipleship for Dads, we visit the importance of church vs. family. The reality is that fathers, families, and churches need to be revived, but what should take priority? It's a both/and - we can't have strong families without strong churches, and we can't have strong churches without strong families. If both are important, however, what should this look like for Christian families? How can families serve in the church? Is hospitality important? When is it appropriate for a pastor to step down for the sake of his family?

Jesus has made a huge amount of progress in the world over the past 2,000 years, with Christianity quickly taking over the continents and countries. However, the transformation that is visible today has not been without much sacrifice. On this edition of Generations, Kevin, Nolan, and Fred recount some of the incredible stories of missionaries throughout history.

The modern marketplace has a perspective that is far from Biblical when it comes to investments. This is primarily because the hearts of people today are largely controlled by greed. But what does the Bible have to say about investments, and investing wisely? Is it necessarily all tied to monetary gain and benefits? Anything we do for Jesus counts for eternity . . . and any investment is worth it if we have an opportunity to trade something temporal to gain an eternal return.

A recent study shows that, worldwide, most people are spending an average of nearly seven hours on their screens each day. How can Christians combat this in their life? How can we cultivate good habits and get rid of bad habits? If we belong to God, we need to act like it, redeem our time, and spend time building relationships, working diligently, and seeking to learn more about God and His eternal wisdom.

Many Christians have become enthralled with some of the humanistic teachings of men like Aristotle, Hemingway, Mark Twain, etc. Thomas Aquinas had a similar view of Aristotle, and took a strong liking to his teachings, quoting Aristotle more than he quoted the Bible in his writings. On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Jeff Johnson, a pastor, concerning the importance of building our foundations on God and His Word, and rejecting humanism.
