We remember the vision and ministry of Marshall Foster, now gone to be with the Lord. And, we look at a less profitable ministry of polemics, and the defrocking of JD Hall—once more or less the king of polemics. The goal here is simply to "take heed lest ye fall." Here are warnings to us conservatives . . . the censorious, and those with the "gift" of negativity and criticism. Is the negative resolved in the positive? Is the bad news followed by the good news? Do we attack problems and positions or people? 

God created all of us with the capacity to create artistic expressions and to appreciate them. Sadly, a humanist world has destroyed art, but we are called to godly expression—where the artist glorifies God first, and not man. What makes for good art and bad art? How does modern art revolt against God in the forms of symbolic art, abstract art, or representational art? 

Teen popular culture now has shifted into almost 100% Satanism, homosexuality, and suicide. While Christian parents want to protect their children from these ungodly influences, they can't protect their kids from their own hearts. What do you tell a parent whose teen kids are in rebellion after they've done "all the right things?"

Why do so many worship leaders look so "gay?” That's the subject matter of a recent blog. Is there a lack of repentance? Or is it a lack of God's authority? Are we stuck with weak forms and a weak faith? The influence of romanticism leaves us with homosexuality, effeminacy, simplistic emotional highs, and no real substance of faith, worship, truth, and life. We take a look at a "Call to Repentance" composition from Keith Green during the height of the Jesus movement. There is a vast difference between singing how we feel and singing what we believe.

How often have we heard about the devastating consequences when children grow up in a fatherless home? They’re more likely to drop out of school, become intimate before marriage, and even turn to a life of crime.

But, when Father God intervenes, the sky’s the limit! When a fatherless child experiences the forgiveness of Christ, he can walk in his God-given purpose.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Greg Stier, an evangelist and founder of Dare 2 Share. He grew up in Denver, Colorado in a violent, inner-city family of body builders. He never had a dad and never felt like he measured up because his biceps weren’t big enough! But God transformed his family, one by one, through the power of the Gospel.

Greg has written a new book entitled Unlikely Fighter: The Story of How a Fatherless Street Kid Overcame Violence, Chaos, and Confusion to Become a Radical Christ Follower. You will laugh and cry along with Adam throughout this amazing story.

Plus, you can win a free book if you’re one of the first five people to send the correct subject line from the interview to [email protected] along with your name and mailing address.

Americans have lost their trust in news, with public confidence in TV news dropping off from 46% to 11% since the 1990s—and another 5% in the last year. Public cynicism is high, partly because of a worldview of skepticism and post-modern nihilism sinking into the rank and file. What are the biblical standards for truth-telling and media? We go over some basic guidelines for identifying reliable news sources.

Is there still a role for foreign missions work on the part of Western countries? The fields are white all over the world, often much more than what we find in the United States, but God's people are called to be witnesses for Jesus Christ wherever they are. My brother Tim Swanson joins me on this edition of the program to talk about effective mission work, family missions trips, and discipleship on the field. How would you know that you were called to missions? And what are some of the mistakes made when getting involved in foreign ministry work? 

Four hundred police officers couldn't stop a rampage in a primary school, while one armed 22-year-old stopped a massacre in a mall on Sunday night by placing his own life on the line. What gives? There are theological reasons why America and American Christianity has gone soft and given way to courage-less pacifism.

Whether you’re actively serving in the U.S. military, retired from military service, or you’ve been on a search for your purpose as a man, you’ll be encouraged by Chad Robichaux‘s authenticity. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything!

Yes, he’s a Force Recon Marine and a Pro Mixed Martial Arts Champion. But he’s also incredibly vulnerable!

Guest host Adam McManus explores his fascinating life story as they discuss his book entitled An Unfair Advantage: Victory in the Midst of Battle. He experienced successes and his failures in Afghanistan and in the MMA cage. But, most powerfully, he reveals the ugly truth as he struggled with PTSD, a near divorce, and almost becoming another veteran suicide statistic before he trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior. Chad founded the Mighty Oaks Foundation, which puts on powerful events, to help other veterans and their families.

Chad shares parallel stories of biblical warriors–like Moses, Jonathan, David, Esau, and Ehud–who faced similar struggles and reveals the “unfair advantage” that led them to victory in the midst of those battles.

His book is endorsed by President Donald Trump, Lt. General Jerry Boykin, and Dave Barton of WallBuilders.

The most powerful union in the world and the most influential force in education is the National Education Association. And, the NEA’s agenda is anything but math and spelling. Listeners will be shocked at the clips we take from the NEA Convention held in Chicago last week. The organization is committed to advancing abortion (“reproductive rights”) and homosexuality in schools and every institution in this country. Why are Christians still holding up the public schools, given that the infrastructure is the most progressive and ruinous force in the nation? The only thing left standing in the way of the total ruin of our children is . . . parents.
