Should we find entertainment in the injury of others? Kevin and Joshua discuss the recent UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, noting the similarity to gladiatorial games. They ask what our forefathers said about this, and whether there is a connection between gladiators, body-piercing, and even child sacrifice. Then they go to scripture to ask if we must respect the body as part the image of God, and whether we can delight in violence.

Today, state-schooled kids average 4% on a Christian worldview test, down from 25% in 1990. Christian-schooled kids are down to 14%, and homeschooled kids are around 52%. Kevin talks with Dan Smithwick, director of the Nehemiah Institute, about the results of their PEERS test, and why these numbers just keep falling. They discuss how education was captured…why even kids in churches don’t have Christian worldviews…and why we are losing the faith year on year.

Why has fantasy gone from a niche genre to nearly every blockbuster movie in theaters? Is this a coincednece, or an escape ramp from the reality of God, sin, and judgment? Kevin is joined by Danny Craig to trace that escapism straight into the young adult section of the local library. They test Gandalf, Radagast, and Madeleine L'Engle's witches against Scripture's standard for the true source of power, then offer six criteria for choosing books that point kids back to God instead of away from Him.

Homeschooling is often treated as mom's department, but what does God's Word actually say? The dads ask the question: can you give 20 minutes a day to open God's Word with your kids? Will you ask your wife what she actually needs and follow through with it? Education is a massive task; don't leave your wife to do it alone.

What are the marks of a true revival? Enormous amounts of people baptized on the same day?

With national debt at 124% of GDP and the stock market overpriced by historic measures, Kevin is joined by Rory Groves to discuss the coming economic earthquake of 2027-2028.

The data is in, and it reads like a commentary on Deuteronomy 6. A major new study covered by Fox News found that children raised in homes where faith was discussed several times a week, where both parents attended church, and where fathers built strong bonds with their children were substantially more likely to remain faithful as adults. Kevin and Danny discuss the findings...and make the case that the means God has always ordained for generational faith is not the Sunday school or the youth group...but the home.
