Every story of revival and reformation in any church is exciting.  But, this story of how God brought revival and reformation to this church in Chesapeake, Virginia will win your heart.  God worked in the hearts of fathers, mothers, and children.  Can revival happen in the 21st century?  Absolutely. Reformations aren’t easy, because we are swimming against the cultural streams on this one.  How do...

The catalyst for the initiation of wars are usually worldwide depressions, economic threats, and fussing with tariffs. The real root is found in the human heart (see James 4:1-2). Kevin Swanson has a question.  China has just become the #1 Economy in the world. China has never had a shot at Military world dominance. So, what in the world is China going to do with 40 million men who can never be ma...

The ELCA puts an 11-year-old transgendered boy in front of 31,000 Lutheran youth, to explain how the church is a place where everybody can be themselves.  That’s a dead church, but what does an alive church look like?   What does life look like in a dead world?  We analyze a hyper liberal ELCA sermon and find some comparisons with dying conservative churches.  What do the dead and dying conservati...

Could the tech industry be deliberately using technology to destructive ends?  Is the tech industry targeting kids, using psychological methodologies guarantees to cultivate addiction?  The tech industry is learning how to trigger dopamine, and cultivate addiction in the lives of young kids.

But, what’s the real problem?  After spending time in a federal prison, Dwight figured out the problem was the godless schools. He wants prayer back in the public schools.  How did...

What are the greatest heroes in history, and what is it that constitutes one of God’s heroes?  Sometimes the odds are so rough, one man stands virtually against the whole world.  This we find with John Wycliff, Athanasius, and a few others.  Kevin Swanson and Douglas Bond get pretty excited about some of history’s greatest heroes in this conversation. 

Why can’t we find Jesus in Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood?  And whatever happened to family and church?  Why is the neighborhood and the community more important than the family and church? What’s the worldview children get out of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood?  We analyze the basic ethical system and worldview of Mr. Rogers, for families that feed their children a steady stream of Christ-l...

The American Library Association is yanking Laura Ingalls Wilder’s award. . . for all the wrong reasons, of course.  We discuss the sad feminist legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder.  We take a careful look at Little House on the Prairie, a piece of Americana.  It’s hard to make a case for Laura or Pa’s racism.  But, these days the noble savage myth is still gaining ground among the acad...

The birth rate is set to fall sub 1.0 in America, as the millennial generation earns less money and wants less kids. When women are faced with the question, "Would you rather have a career, or kids?" what would they say? Only 29% of moms with kids will stay home with them these days. But, they’re not having kids — due to child care costs, student loans, and the need for a whole lot of me...

It was the most critical political moment in our generation. National Review calls it an “opportunity lost.” NBC News is thankful that the President went for a “full establishment” candidate.  Perhaps Brett Kavanaugh is the only shot for Senate approval, but even that demonstrates the weakness of the pro-life cause on the national scene.  Republicans just don’t have the principle to pull it off. W...

Where would you stay if you happened to be in Las Vegas overnight?  Or if you happened to be in Elizabeth, Colorado over night, would you stay over at the Swanson's home?  We have a great conversation about the blessings of Christian hospitality and the Candle in the Window program that has brought the whole Christian family much closer. . . worldwide!

The top moral cess pools in the world are Ireland, Iceland, Belgium, and now, Colorado.  This state is staging its first homosexual governor.  America is moving towards extremes, as millennials embrace socialism and communism at high rates.  America is developing an ideological rift that may not be repaired. But, what is the major objective the Christ is accomplishing through these various shaking...

Christian adoption agencies are adopting to homosexuals now. And, Joel Houston of the Hillsong fame affirms the Big Bang and Survival of the Fittest Evolution. But, does it really matter? Are we making a mountain out of a molehill? At what point have we denied the epistemological and ethical authority of the King of Kings, and submitted to the false religion of man-worship and humanism?

Where does children’s church, Sunday Schools, and Youth Groups show up in the Book of Acts or 2 Timothy?   We take a look at the Family Integrated Church movement and movements in general on this program. If the church is not about SundaySchool, youth groups, programs, and potlucks. . .what is the essential, indispensable elements of a church ministry?   Discipleship and preaching.  

On this 4th of July, we are wondering if God will show mercy on this nation.  Given that America is at the lowest moral condition in the history of the country, will God show mercy?  The moment of truth approaches.  The single opportunity to reverse Roe v. Wade is here. Do the Republicans have the will to reverse Roe v. Wade?  Or will the Republican senators reveal their true colors? 

The nuclear age has matured.  Forty nations have weapons grade stuff, and there have been 762 known instances of stolen radioactive material. Has modern man experienced a moral maturation?  Is he more stable? Does he have more moral sensibility than the Soviets of the 1950s?  Uh. . . Yeah.  What is the best thing nations can do to prepare for the “inevitability” of nuclear attack? 

Finally, the feminists were successful at discontinuing the Miss America swimsuit competition. Are Christian men and women disappointed in this development? Why are Christians pretty irrelevant to any meaningful cultural developments today? We discuss whether our daughters should model at all, given the discouragement from ex-Victoria Secret model, Nicole Weider.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the public libraries do not share the Christian worldview. Now, the Drag Queen Story Hour is taking off across America, as men dressed up like women read stories to 4-8 year old kids. Is this grooming children for illicit sexual activities? We discuss the test for good literature for our children, and the increasing irrelevance of public libraries in modern...

It’s the biggest opportunity for a pro-life America and religious freedoms in this generation, since the election of Ronald Reagan. Kevin Swanson interviews Jenna Ellis, Director of Public Policy for James Dobson Family Institute, for a careful analysis of this opportunity for America. Could this be the beginning of a Roe v. Wade and Obergefell reversal? How will the President get the nominee thro...

Persecution against Christians in Canada is escalating.  Arrests and law suits are flying.  And, the only hope of a Christian law school was crushed by a  Supreme Court decision.   Is it time for Canadians to get out of Dodge?  We encourage Canadian Christians to seek asylum, and go with there is some hope for disciple-ing a nation. America may be a temporary possibility, after two Supreme Court d...

The Oregon Supreme Court upheld the lower court rulings requiring that Aaron and Melissa Klein pay $135,000 for not baking a cake for a homosexual ceremony.  Now they are appealing the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Here, we interview Aaron Klein on how they lost their little family bakery in this prima facie case of Christian persecution. 

Ray Comfort is no stranger to controversy.  He has been a thorn in the side of the modern atheist movement in the Western world.  Ray talks about his interactions with atheists, and how truth and grace wins out in the end.  We also talk about Ray’s new film called “The Fool.” 

World Vision and other Christian Leaders are upset with Donald Trump over enforcing his immigration laws, and separating jailed suspects from their children. Is anybody thinking biblically on the matter of immigration? Incredibly, both liberal and conservative Christians are arguing their position as “biblical.” However, they want to pick and choose which laws they want. It’s autonomy all over aga...

The University Lefties are pretty excited about the pagan practice of infanticide and tribal ritual murders in the Amazon.  It’s cultural relativism at its worst.  But we still ask the question - what is the difference between the post-Christian abortion fest and the old pagan practice of infanticide?  Will Christians maintain anything of a strong ethical stand on anything, given their rejection o...

Peace agreements with Adolf Hitler, as well as the tyrannical persecutors like North Korea and Iran never work.  They just kick the can down the road.  These peace conferences can come across as top notch posturing, but these men are still deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.  However, there is a possibility for peace (not between nations), but via the international, worldwide church...
