What is the "Establishment" referenced so much, mostly by conservatives? And shall Christians support the MSM and Big Tech Media? We contrast the worldview of the MSM, Fox News, and the other 3% of news sources. Does Fox News maintain the three sacraments of the establishment religion? Christians must reject the establishment message and oppose the medial cabal. But many have a hard time accepting marginalization and castigation, and facing down the enemy. This too will be a faith challenge.

There are two mobs operating in Washington DC. Our concern today is the second mob that isn’t considering the facts, but more emotions, rhetoric, and political drama. As Christians, we should be concerned with facts, and that’s what we take a close look at on this edition of the program. We carefully examine the presidential speech prior to the break into the nation’s Capitol building. We also compare the charge to previous incidences of insurrection and court decisions in US history. How does God want us making judgment, and how does respect for persons apply to the shenanigans of the last year — Marxist or anarchical? 

America has a unique heritage unlike any other; she was self-consciously founded in covenant with God. But we have since broken the covenant in every way, and God's judgment is coming down on us a result. Have we gone past the tipping point, the point of no return? Is there no hope left for us? Dr. Marshall Foster joins us on this edition of the program as we discuss these questions. There may be hope if we fall to our knees, return to God, and remember His mighty deeds. 

Colleges have lost 3.5 million students in the last ten years — that's like the closure of 200 large state universities (4 per state). The entire educational-economic complex is turned on its head. Do we still need to "save" for our children's college education? Or is it time for us to wake up and realize we are in a different world now? It's a whole new game, but how do we invest? What now? 

One of the most important evangelical cultural leaders in America campaigns for pro-abortion candidates in Georgia. These actions were critical in Georgia, and may have served to shift power in the Western world towards promoting an anti-Christian worldview. Lecrae explains his reasoning in a video just released, which we carefully consider from a Christian worldview perspective. Is government responsible for changing the environment, eliminating poverty and thereby “decreasing crime?” Or is government responsible for punishing murder? Bad theology and bad anthropology will produce bad public policy and bad everything else.

We're witnessing a historic moment as the balance of powers is shifting in America. There has been much confusion surrounding the integrity of the elections as well as a significant drop-off in confidence in the American institutions. Both the right and the left appear to be increasingly more self-consistent with their positions. But what are the worldviews behind these self-consciously held foundations? There are theological roots behind them, which we would do well to understand and compare to Biblical theology. We discuss the current situation of the Democrats' rise to power once again, and also take a look at newly-elected Senator Warnock's theology on this edition of the program.

These are historic moments in the history of a nation. Is America falling apart? How do we explain what's going on to our children? Bottom line: The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He uttered His voice. The earth melted. Leftists, BLM, and Antifa virtually shut down city governments, beat back the police, and left the country with $2 billion in damage last year, and they are lauded by the media for it. The agenda advances. But are the protests counter-productive, futile, and disempowering for the other side? Our agenda for change cannot come by short-cuts and revolutions. Here, we observe several things from a president who has lost support from. . .well. . .just about everybody in the world. We are left with the same basic need - men of integrity, real faith, and courage to lead our communities in the years to come.

One of the most troublesome questions for many non-Christians and Christians is the question of the canon of Scripture. How do we know which books should constitute the Word of God? On what basis would we reject the Book of Enoch or Second Macabees? As J I Packer put it, “The church no more gave us the canon than Sir Isaac Newton gave us the laws of Gravity.” Pastor Philip Kayser is author of an extensive work on the Canon of Scripture and joins us on Generations. 

Economically, militarily, and geopolitically the world balance of powers is shifting for the first time since World War II. Will the EU abandon the US? Alliances with China are on the rise. China was negligible as an economic force in 1980. The nation rides neck and neck with the US, and America is crumbling. The east is on the rise. The west is on the decline. That's obvious. But where are we now? Is it Trump vs. the whole world? We review the geopolitical situation and return to Psalm 2:9-11 and Revelation 19:15-16.

Americans named Donald Trump as the most admired man of 2020, but the next nine on the list were all leftists and liberals. Is Trump the last hero left for the right? But, what about the poor wise man who saved the city? Or what about those "of whom the world was not worthy?" God's heroes aren't the world's heroes.
