How Can Parents Let Go of Kids Leaving for Marriage? — Discipleship for Dads

The dads discuss the difficult process of preserving and growing your relationship with kids who are leaving for marriage – rather than stepping back too far or holding on too tight. They talk about how parents can keep from saying too much – or too little – while appropriately backing off…the proper alternative to feeling that you’re “losing a child”…and how they have personally navigated these difficult but blessed times.

Weaponized Empathy and Abortion

Massachusetts is so empathetic for mothers who “need” to murder their children that it has now removed the previous restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks.

Should a disagreement on baptism prevent a man pursuing a woman? Kevin and Josh use this reader question as a launchpad to talk about wise discernment in courtship.

This week’s top headline involves two “good Christian girls” cat-fighting on a basketball court. Is this really Christian femininity? Kevin and Danny discuss scripture’s vision for women, and how to cultivate it (or kill it) in our daughters. What is our objective getting girls into sports? What kinds of side-hustles cultivate feminine instincts? What role models should we present them – Disney’s Princess Elsa…or God’s Princess Bellaheld? And what are the best resources for discipling daughters?

Kevin and Bill discuss the political ingredients that produce war – and the similarities between today and the periods leading up to WW1 and WW2.

What Does The Bible Say About Sheltering Children?

Where is the line between protecting your children, and creating people who are unable to properly have conversations with others? Kevin and Josh look at scriptural examples and warnings, and discover that the biggest stumbling block to our children is often ourselves. Regardless of what dangers we shield them from, stumbling children happens in the home too. We often protect them from being taught bad worldviews – but fail to protect them from more direct sin.

Relativism Has Gone Viral

Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan are the biggest things out there – platforms built on idle curiosity and incoherent skepticism. The imaginations of the masses are captured by meandering topics, aimless digressions, and fourth-grade language. Meanwhile, biblical illiteracy and moral confusion are rampant, even in the church. Kevin talks with Bill about how this generation is the first to consistently live out relativism…what the results are…and what our agenda must be, if we want to relay firm foundations.

IVF in Biblical Perspective: Interview with Josh Holler

1 in 40 babies are now born through IVF – 96,000 per year. To achieve this, nearly 4 million embryos were created.

Raising Children Who Can Afford a House — Discipleship for Dads

Is it still possible to pay off a house before you’re 30? If so, how can we support our children toward this goal? The dads talk about how young men they know have achieved this – and what biblical principles laid the foundation.

What does lived experience reveal…and what does the Bible say?

Forest Fires and God’s Judgments on Nations

Forest fires are sweeping Washington, Colorado and Oregon. Coincidentally, these states are very high on the Generations “evil index” of abortion liberalism and sexual perversion…and the worst for church attendance. Similar things are happening in France and Spain. Should we attribute these disasters to specific judgments for specific sins? Kevin and Bill talk about how God works in history, and what it would take to stop the trajectory toward destruction in Europe and America.

Avoiding the Ditches of White Knight & Overbearing Blowhard

Many men compulsively side with women, whether they’re right or wrong. But we should be more jealous for God’s honor than women’s, and more fearful of what He thinks. The dads talk about the white knight mentality, and ask: don’t women deserve special honor? How biblical is “happy wife, happy life?” Can you really keep the peace without obedience to the gospel of peace? And what should you do if there’s a tug-of-war for control in your marriage?

What Does the Bible Say About Space Exploration and UFOs? — What Does the Bible Say About That?

Is settling Mars a biblical idea? Does God want us building colonies on other planets? Kevin, Josh, and Danny investigate the secular and humanistic motives behind space exploration, and what exactly Scripture says we are given dominion over.

Public High School Is Bad, But Elementary Is Fine…Right?

We know that state schools teach humanism. “Man is God.” Transgenderism is the natural fruit of that religion. But it’s just the high schools…right? There’s no Nietzsche in 1st grade. Kindergartens don’t have transgender bathrooms. So aren’t state grade schools safe? Kevin and Danny answer with the first five questions of the children’s catechism, contrasting these with what kids learn in grade school – things like “Follow your heart,” and, “You can be whatever you want to be…”
