American trust in pastors has halved since 2009. Weekly church attendance is down 40%. What is going on — and what is the answer? Kevin and Danny talk about how pragmatic leadership strategies have compromised the pastorate…the difference being a Christian leader and a Christian influencer…forgiveness of scandal vs restoration to office…the need for leaders to actually be ahead of others…and ministry as a work of love, not a platform for impact.

Should we be using the FACE law to imprison church trespassers for 8 years? What about God’s law? Will we abandon His standard of justice when it’s politically convenient — or will we show the world a better way? Kevin and Bill examine the right-wing tendency to defend tyranny in law enforcement…the left-wing tendency to treat any law enforcement as tyranny…rational thinking based on statistics, not high-profile outliers…and right judgement of specifics based on sound general principles Download the episode MP3 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/18606673-face-law-or-god-s-law.mp3

When kids are young, we put ourselves between them and the world, the flesh, and the devil. But as they mature, they must learn to fight for themselves. So how can we teach our kids to face temptation — and how do we prepare them relationally to be open about such trials? The panel talks through the struggles they have observed — from lust to rebellion to self-image — plus practical strategies they have used.

Martin Luther King, Jr. famously demanded to be judged on the content of his character, not the color of his skin. But with 36+ affairs, Marxist views, and “the tape” being released next year, the only reason to keep celebrating MLK Day seems to be his skin color! Kevin and Bill suggest some worthy alternatives who were true national heroes — but also ask: should we dedicate a federal holiday to any particular person at all?

With the rise of Christian Nationalism, kinists are rising too. Kevin and Josh discuss Scripture’s categories for valid and sound marriages — and whether ethnic differences really constitute unique “incompatibilities.” What is the biblical teaching on kin loyalty? Can a nation be salvaged around ethnic unity when it has already lost unity in Christ? And is ethnic differentiation even compatible with the gospel?

There has been a lot of resistance in the homeschooling world to ICE hunting out illegal immigrants…and a lot of broad-brushing of ICE agents. But despite the high-profile outliers, what do the actual stats and facts say? And what does God himself say about the state’s right to protect its borders? Kevin and Bill discuss what we know, and apply biblical principles to why we should want Christians doing this work.

Homeschooling is exploding across the US, while public school enrollments fall. The state’s response? $1 billion toward systems like homeschooling vouchers. Kevin and Danny discuss the problems of “free money”…becoming dependent on government rather than God…how funding inevitably leads to regulation and control…the precautionary history of countries like Sweden and the UK…and the danger of Title IX applying to any education funded by government money.

The panel discusses the tricky process of children growing up while still living at home. How do you avoid being too controlling…and too permissive? What are the warning signs for a bad launch, or dysfunctional relationship in the future? How do you deal with personality conflicts? And how do you keep incorporating your kids into your household, when they are finding their own independence?

Kevin and Bill discuss our tottering economic system and analyze the market trends. Crypto is flatlining…Wall Street is turning into a casino…people are saving less…inflation is skyrocketing…and it’s all accelerating a national recession. People no longer trust the market and are escaping into gold and silver. Can Trump fix it? If not, when will everything collapse — and what can individual Christians do to protect themselves?

Depression rates have 5×ed since the 90s, and today it’s considered normal to have a therapist. 9% of Americans are on psychotropic drugs, and 10% of teens attempt suicide every year. Kevin and Josh examine the modern therapeutic approach to mental health…whether we can finally say it has failed…and most importantly, what the Bible says about dealing with depression and anxiety, trauma and stress, shame and guilt.

A new transgender case is going before the Supreme Court this week, about sexually confused boys playing on girls’ sports teams. Kevin and Bill discuss why the Supreme Court is even involved…whether we can opt out of the system…the similarity with 1920s Germany…and current Christian initiatives underway right now that you can contribute to — to amend the constitution and work toward restoring a biblically-ordered society.

The sheer numbers of moral scandals in the evangelical church has been unprecedented as far back as we can remember. We can’t just ignore this. The stories don’t stop. A major evangelical author fell down, and 188 stories like this just last year. Kevin and Danny get back to what Jesus said. The evangelical gel is not going to work. The comfy and the casual church, the soft grace, and the powerless gospel isn’t going to cut it. We talk sobriety, watchfulness, and prayerfulness in the war on this segment of Generations.

The panel lays bare the fatherhood lessons they took away from 2025 — from inching toward an empty nest and trusting God with the kids…cultivating relationships with adult children…taking care of health and numbering days when aging…developing an instinct of gratitude in trials…learning to notice and confess personal failures…practicing being kind and gentle…getting better at communication…and creating a habit of true service.

We’ve heard the stories, but what is going on? Kevin and Bill talk about the rise of children killing their parents in the West. Why is honor for parents lower in post-Christian nations than pagan ones? Why are kids so cold toward those who raised them? Is there a connection between children killing their parents and abortion…or violent media, drugs, and demons? And what we can expect for the future?

Interest in the paranormal is booming, with 75 TV shows currently running — and now Christian podcasts like Haunted Cosmos are getting in on the obsession. Kevin and Josh examine the Scriptures to see how God would have us depict supernatural events, compared to how modern shows do. Should we cast evil so as to inspire interest, fear, and awe? Does investigating it equip us for spiritual warfare — or lead us into subtle submission?
