What would you do if the Bible in its current form became illegal? The multi-talented actor Brett Varvel is joining me on the show today to explore this important question and the requirement of absolute truth in a culture that is prone to idol worship. He's got a brand new movie out called Disciples in the Moonlight which explores a version of America where the Bible has been outlawed and Christians are faced with the choice of going along with the status quo or remaining firm in their faith. This discussion is a reminder to Christians to use their talents and platforms for the glory of God and to boldly live out their faith.

The stakes are high. The winds of change are blowing. We sense it, we feel it, and we have the most important role to play in the discipleship of our children. Education is discipleship, and parents absolutely must be in the driver’s seat of the educational plan. Turning Point is helping to raise up educators to support parents to do exactly this. Jennifer Burns joins me today from Turning Point Academy to encourage us to keep our eye on the ball and persevere in the discipleship education of our children.

I’m talking about what's happening in the news right now, the attempted assassination of President Trump, still at the forefront of everyone's mind. We’re going to go to Psalm 20 and see what the Bible has to say about how God views the events that are happening around us.

As we head into the heart of election season these last few months, we are seeing how high the stakes are, and the Biden administration is scrambling as they try to lessen the blow of Biden’s debate performance and recent cognitive challenges, the press secretary even accusing conservatives of creating fake videos in order to make Biden’s situation look worse than it actually is. We also see boys trying to be girls and doctors telling us men can have babies. It seems like perfect timing to re-air one of our most loved podcasts from several years ago: Value Nothing More than Truth with the author of the book Live not By Lies, Rod Dreher.

Listen in on a live workshop where Heidi shares with homeschool parents at a recent homeschool conference.

God’s Word teaches us that the primary job of parents is to raise children who are equipped, both spiritually and mentally for the “real world.” Our assignment? To prepare our kids to stand against “the schemes of the devil.” Trouble is—the language of woke culture often gets right by busy parents. Who has time to learn all the new words and phrases that seem to be created every other week? If you’re struggling to keep up, join Heidi St. John as she equips you to easily identify the language of the left and teach your own children to do the same.

News broke recently that the Boy Scouts of America is changing its name to Scouting America on the organization's 115th anniversary. According to the Associated Press, the Boy Scouts will become Scouting America in an effort to emphasize inclusion as it works to move past the turmoil of bankruptcy and a flood of sexual abuse claims. Scouts' lack of acknowledgement of the crisis among boys in our culture is only a small part of the problem.

I’m joined today by Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA which is an answer to the deep crisis affecting boys in America. It’s the largest Christ-centered, boy-focused scout-type organization in the country. Trail Life USA has 1,100 Troops and more than 50,000 members in all 50 states. These guys are doing an incredible job helping young boys become godly men.

It is of utmost importance to control our anger, and I’m offering some practical tips I’ve learned for doing so. I’ll highlight the role of self-control and the power of the Holy Spirit.
