The importance of Scripture in a father's life cannot be overstated. To be nurtured, convicted, and exhorted by God's Word every day should take high priority in every dad's life. The Word is relevant, authoritative, and life-giving, and it's a father's job to not only study God's Word himself, but to be exhorting and teaching his family about Scripture every day. Dow...

HB 2827 is a recent bill that challenges homeschool freedoms in the state of Illinois. It increases restrictions on homeschooling and is an assault on freedom. Eight thousand homeschoolers showed up to the Illinois state capitol to protest the bill. Protecting our freedoms is one of the most important things we can do in a world that's headed for more totalitarian government every day. Downlo...

Throughout history, the influence of Jesus Christ over medicine has been very apparent. So many Christians have contributed to advancements in medical technology, the creation of hospitals, and a decrease in mortality rate, especially when it comes to infant mortality rates. However, Margaret Sanger came along in the 19th and 20th centuries and made attempts to reverse some of this. Today, are we...

While Christians are attempting to engage the fight for liberty under God's law all over the world, the world powers are meanwhile engaged in proud displays of power. Men who love violence are running the major nations, Iran is a powder keg, and tariffs are causing divisiveness all over the world. Are we currently headed for a world war, and what should a Christian's reaction be to this...

Property tax is crucial to the communist, Marxist agenda, which became entrenched in American between roughly 1845 and 1890. The end result is that we’re living under some of the most severe tyrannies of all time today. Until about 1913, taxes never exceeded 7 percent of the people’s income—including during the Roman Empire. Now we see tax rates of 40, 50, and 60 percent. But a movement to decreas...

An important part of being a parent is discipline, but we want to be sure that we don't separate the gospel from law. How can parents incorporate a gospel message into their discipline?

America has become very individualistic over the years, which has also created a more individualized view of Christianity, and in particular, baptism. However, what does the Bible say about this topic? The Bible mentions household baptism and whole households being saved. Are household baptisms appropriate? What about sprinkling vs. immersion? When can we be sure that regeneration has occurred? It...

Women are leaving the church in droves, while men are coming back into the church. In previous years, women have been attending churches in larger numbers. There is a desire for both men and women to be revived spiritually. However, what does a true revival look like? Is it tied to emotion and music, or is there more to it than that?

Does worldview matter? Do basic foundational doctrines really matter in the lives of Christians? A new study from Barna shows that only 11 percent of American adults believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, while 16 percent of self-proclaimed Christians hold to it. The number of Gen Z’s who believe in the Trinity comes in at only 8 percent. The doctrine of the Trinity has been largely neglected in...

In 1937, Disney's Snow White made $4 billion (adjusted for inflation), and is one of the highest-grossing films as of today. However, the most recent remake of Snow White, filled with feminism, Marxism, and socialism, has just bombed at the box office. Disney has dialed in on the wokeism of the day and continues to lose money. However, where did these stories originally come from, and what wa...

As our daughters grow older, it's important to address the topic of their future, whether this be as a single woman or a married woman. It's important for women to invest in economics and household management. However, if a girl or woman is interested in ministry work specifically, how can they prepare for this calling, even from a young age?

In this segment of Discipleship for Dads, we visit the importance of church vs. family. The reality is that fathers, families, and churches need to be revived, but what should take priority? It's a both/and - we can't have strong families without strong churches, and we can't have strong churches without strong families. If both are important, however, what should this look like for...

Jesus has made a huge amount of progress in the world over the past 2,000 years, with Christianity quickly taking over the continents and countries. However, the transformation that is visible today has not been without much sacrifice. On this edition of Generations, Kevin, Nolan, and Fred recount some of the incredible stories of missionaries throughout history.

The modern marketplace has a perspective that is far from Biblical when it comes to investments. This is primarily because the hearts of people today are largely controlled by greed. But what does the Bible have to say about investments, and investing wisely? Is it necessarily all tied to monetary gain and benefits? Anything we do for Jesus counts for eternity . . . and any investment is worth it...

A recent study shows that, worldwide, most people are spending an average of nearly seven hours on their screens each day. How can Christians combat this in their life? How can we cultivate good habits and get rid of bad habits? If we belong to God, we need to act like it, redeem our time, and spend time building relationships, working diligently, and seeking to learn more about God and His eterna...

Many Christians have become enthralled with some of the humanistic teachings of men like Aristotle, Hemingway, Mark Twain, etc. Thomas Aquinas had a similar view of Aristotle, and took a strong liking to his teachings, quoting Aristotle more than he quoted the Bible in his writings. On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Jeff Johnson, a pastor, concerning the importance of buildi...

The Bible encourages us to “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” What does this look like for the average dad? In this segment of “Discipleship for Dads,” we take a look at practical ways in which dads can focus on managing their time to the glory of God. How can we balance work, family, and “me-time?” Is “me-time” something we should...

Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the importance of a father figure in the lives of boys. Men who never had a father figure won't take responsibility for their own children and families. This leads to a world of men like Andrew Tate, rooted in self-love, anger, and apathy. Christian men should be pro-life, pro-family, and pro-biblical sexuality in every way, shape, and form.

There are now 8,500 women in combat roles in the US army, and 600 women in similar positions in the US marines. The gender confusion of today ultimately stems from gender role confusion and the feminist movement of the 1960s. God has set boundaries for each gender, and removing those only leads to disaster. So where do we go from here? The key is to get back to Biblical definitions of God’s roles...

The Department of Education is cutting 50 percent of its workforce. This is a good step towards elimination of state control over the education of our children; however, will this lead to a complete end, or will this progress plateau? Education is one of the places where the war of ideas burns the hottest, and every parent should be deeply involved in their child's education. It isn't en...

The destructive, evil nature of anger is particularly evident in children who are captivated by the angry spirit well into their teenage years. Whether it be the screaming, hitting, spitting, explosive sort, or more of the sullen silence, the biting sarcasm, and cold looks - anger can destroy a home. Joining Kevin Swanson on this interview is S.M. Davis from solvefamilyproblems.com .

More and more church attendees are leaving the church, with Baptists and Presbyterians losing a percentage over the past several years. Has it been helpful to water down the gospel in order to appeal to the world, or is the American church now paying the price? If churches and families don't disciple and ground their disciples in Biblical theology, it will all fall apart, and that's what...

Despite the media, universities, almost every museum in America, and even Christians being head over heels in love with the theory of evolution, it seems to be fading in the minds of some people today. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the problems of micro evolution and macro evolution on this edition of the program.
