Renton talks to Rev. Armen Thomassian, a local pastor from Northern Ireland, about a particular love that is missing from the Christian home. Although we want our children to know the Lord and understand His commandments, there is something missing. You need this episode.

Renton talks to Dr. Brian Smith, author of Biblical Worldview: Beyond the Basics, about where the failure lies in many Christian institutions. And it's not where you think. Many Christian institutions market well, but they are empty shells.

Renton talks to Topher, a cinema professor, about the new Superman movie and what it says about our culture, men, and what is the new expectation for heroes in our culture. It's not just about Superman, it's about who this culture wants you to become.

Renton and Dr. Kerns tackle the issue of Zohran Mamdani, a practicing Muslim, possibly becoming the major of New York City. Does one's faith actually affect how one governs? Does it matter that Mamdani is a Muslim?

An unusual episode, where Renton and Topher discuss the problem of death in the Christian life and how they both dealt with death in their own families.

Our first "State of the Union" segment discusses Ted Cruz/Tucker Carlson debate about whether or not the Bible commands us to support Israel. But unlike those two, we will see what the Bible actually says AND we have a real expert to help us.

Renton brings back Dr. Greg Mazak to discuss Lady Gaga's lyrics that seem to say that we are not responsible for the desires we are born with. If we are just born this way, are these desires really sin? If they are sin, how do you kill sin if we are born this way?
