Do you want to change the world? Do you want to make a real impact during the few years you get on the earth? Your average dad can make his biggest impact for the cause of righteousness at home! Kevin Swanson interviews Joel Beeke on the practice of family worship. Why do we neglect it? What are the ways in which you can maximize this discipleship effort with your own children?

Starr Meade has assembled a beautiful family study guide on the Westminster Shorter Catechism. It is important to root and ground your children in solid truth. Otherwise, they will be blown about by every wind of doctrine; there are thousands of crosswinds blowing all the time, especially in today’s world. People randomly pick their crosswinds all the time, but here is historical, biblical truth for the ages.

Mitt Romney is up in front for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. Is Romney more committed to Socialism than to the Mormon worldview? Is America ready for the first Mormon president? Kevin Swanson interacts with a New York Times article on Mormonism. If America still holds to a basically Christian view of God and man, does Mormonism take a hard turn away from this? Does Mormonism teach a sharply different view of the nature of God, social structures, and redemption? These are important questions to answer before electing a Mormon to lead the nation.

Another outrageous bill in the Mississippi legislature threatens parents with a life sentence for spanking their children! A failure to understand the basic biblical ethical standards such as the ancient lex talionis, is devastating to the cause of liberty. Kevin Swanson explains the importance of biblical law as it applies to such things as taxation (for President Obama if he's tuning into us), kidnapping (for social services agents), and spanking (for the rest of us).

Many men find themselves in economic slavery to debt and corporations. They have a hard time "calling their own shots." They find that they work for "the man," and they would like some independence and freedom. There are many roads to freedom, and this interview with entrepreneur Dave Tucker will open up the economic world for you. Don't miss this interview!

Theology matters. What is taught in the seminaries is usually preached in the churches a few years later. Could it be that what is taught in the churches is destroying the nation? Are there seminaries that are to blame for the separation of faith from life—and the failure of Christians to influence the culture? Sadly, a large segment of the church is taken by a two-kingdom pietism and an aversion to the application of God’s law to all areas of life. This two-kingdom ideology affects many if not most Lutherans, Catholics, Evangelicals, and other mainline denominations. These “two-kingdom” folks take a different view of the Christian faith, the relationship of faith to life, and the interaction of the individual with his institutions and relationships. Author and seminary teacher John Frame has written a book titled The Escondido Theology. Dr. Frame discusses these attempts to revive two-kingdom thinking in the present generation among evangelicals, reformed seminaries, and churches. Visit Kevin Swanson’s blog for more background on this important topic.

Education isn't neutral, but what about mathematics? Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner demonstrate the religious character of math on this edition of the program. But what about the method of education used today? Does it engender more of an institutionalized form of living? Does it program the future minions to submit to a socialized, governmentalized world (at every level)?

The trouble with history is that the good guys can get the bad press and the bad guys receive the glory. This is especially true when humanism dominates the philosophies undergirding the history textbooks. Kevin Swanson interviews Marcus Serven, a homeschool father of nine on his historical research on History's True Heroes.

When it comes to the use of the rod, Christianity Today now encourages parents "to explore more creative and effective ways to train up our children in the way they should go." Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner discuss those creative and effective ways of child discipline, and then take up William Webb's Redemptive Hermeneutic in an age of antinomianism and ethical chaos (in the church, that is).

Planned Parenthood calls ultrasounds of live babies "abhorrent." But we find abortion and Planned Parenthood "abhorrent." So who is right? What's more abhorrent? Abortion or ultrasounds of abortions? Kevin Swanson interviews Mike Adams from Townhall.com on why liberals tend to kill babies.
