The vast majority of Christian Protestant pastors are voting for a Mormon president, per a recent LifeWay survey. Will a Mormon president solve our problems? Is America doing better today than it was 4 years ago? What are the real issues that confront our nation? Has this election process brought these matters to light? Kevin Swanson interviews Stephen Kendrick, Director of the movie, Courageous on his view concerning America's heart problems and the solution.

In this continuing conversation on pop culture, Kevin Swanson contrasts Christian hip hop star Lecrae Moore with country music star Carrie Underwood. How did Lecrae set a better trajectory than "Jesus Take the Wheel" Carrie? Cultural discussions are not easy, but they are important. These stars are no less than pastors who are far more important in discipling the new generation than the old parents and pastors used to be. What should families do in the midst of a cultural revolution? Is there a difference between a kid raised in the manner of Lecrae Moore's genre and a kid raised in a Christian home who rebels against his parents' rules? Kevin points out that the Fifth Commandment is important when it comes to breaking down culture or building it back up.

The Journal of Medical Ethics publishes an article advocating 4th trimester abortions (infanticide). This brave new world is getting braver and more dangerous, but Christians are setting a different trajectory entirely. They are abandoning socialist medicine, socialist insurance, and intercity welfare programs. Kevin Swanson interviews James Lansberry from Samaritan Ministries on the Morning Center.

Thanks to the evolutionary writings of Charles Darwin, deep-seated racism wormed its way into the consciousness of Western civilization in America, England, Australia, and New Zealand in the latter part of the 19th century. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Charles Ware, co-author of the book One Blood, One Race on the topic of racism. Why do churches in America have such a hard time integrating various skin colors and cultures while attempting to find their unity in Christ and His forgiveness of a wide variety of sins and sinners? As the church becomes more international in scope, it is time to open our doors and our hearts to every tribe, tongue, and nation!

Many Christian conservatives are lining up behind Mitt Romney for President of the United States. Others, like Mike Farris from Home School Legal Defense Association, are less eager to endorse him for President based on a five-point criteria list. Kevin Swanson cautions those who place too much emphasis on the presidential election. Congressional approval is at an all-time low (at 10%). Is Congress the whipping boy for those who idolize the presidential office? Are Americans unwittingly centralizing power in one office and preparing the way for dictatorship?

A "Christian" Hip-Hop Star doesn't see a need to bring sanctification to cultures. For Lecrae Moore, the blurring of sacred-secular distinction really means the blurring of the autonomy-theonomy distinction. Kevin Swanson also points out that Fox Network present the most pro-homosexual agenda for the new season of offerings. Is there a Fox in the Hen House?

"Evangelical" feminist, Rachel Held Evans tries "living biblically" for a year. Then she uses her experience to write a book which amounts to a "Mock-fest" of the Bible. Her pro-homosexual, pro-feminist positions are taking the evangelical world by storm, in the present humanist apostasy in the west. But LifeWay Books draws the line on this one. Kevin Swanson talks about the unspeakable damage that feminism has done to the integrity of the family in the post-modern breakdown of civilizations.

Once a Protestant nation, now the United States is only 48% Protestant. There are no Protestants on the U.S. Supreme Court. Doubtful the Catholics are going to set the country in a good direction. But what ever happened to the faith? How did a distinctively Christian worldview get displaced by secular humanism? The obvious answer is "the schools". Kevin Swanson and Geoff Botkin discuss the role that school curriculum played on the minds of the masses in the 20th century.

If the worldview war is raging strong in America, these battles are even more violent in South Africa Kevin Swanson interviews Peter Hammond on the struggle for bringing a pro-life, pro-family message to South Africa. Peter tells of his face-to-face meeting with Nelson Mandella in which they both agreed that Apartheid was wrong, but they parted ways on more fundamental issues - murder, communism, abortion, homosexuality, etc.

With the corrosive effects of electronic media in the home, some families are wondering if it's time to become like the Amish? Is it time to get a horse and plow and leave the electronic world behind? How does one strike a balance? How do you love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength, and struggle through these decisions? It would be easier to just abandon it altogether. Here Phillip Telfer from Media Talk 101 gives some basic guidelines for handling media choices in the home.
