Voddie Baucham [www.VoddieBaucham.org], the preaching pastor of Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring, Texas outside of Houston, grew up in South Central Los Angeles in a single parent home. He reflected on his own personal experience and his knowledge of Scripture when he discussed the counsel he gave his 7 sons about the death of Michael Brown and the subsequent race riots in Ferguson in a chat with guest host Adam McManus [www.AdamMcManus.net] and in a recent column which has been read by 1 million people. [http://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/thoughts-on-ferguson] Here are three compelling quotes: •"For many years, I blamed 'the system' or 'the man'. However, I have come to realize that it was no more 'the system' when white cops pulled me over than it was 'the system' when a black thug robbed me at gunpoint. It was sin!" •"Rest assured, I do believe there are systemic issues plaguing black men. These issues are violence, criminality, and immorality, to name a few. And all of these issues are rooted in and connected to the epidemic of fatherlessness....It is as common as morning dew, and as overlooked as dust under a refrigerator. Where are the marches against this travesty? Where are the protestors who demand better?" •"The FBI homicide stats from 2012 reveal that there were 2,648 blacks murdered. Of those, 2,412 were murdered by members of their own ethnic group. Thus, if I am going to speak out about anything, it will be black-on-black crime; not blue-on-black."

Guest host Adam McManus [www.AdamMcManus.net] chats with Steve McConkey of 4 Winds Christian Athletics [www.BigPlanetWatch.com] about the outrageous decision on December 4, 2014 by 18 of the 20 members of the Minnesota State High School League board to allow transgender male-to-female students to participate on girls' athletic teams. Interestingly, they do not require that the student be in the midst of hormone "therapy" or have completed genitilia-mutilating surgeries, but simply "identify" as female. Three primary objections. 1. This violated God's divine design. 2. It is unfair to the female athletes because of the greater physical strength of a young man. And 3. It sends a message that society calls evil good. Just another reason why home education makes sense.

Here's a controversial question. Do 4 year old kids need their mothers, or should they deposit them in daycare in order to protect a double income household? When 65% of Americans now deposit their 1-6 year old children in daycare, the aggregate social results are devastating to a nation that once loved families and nurtured children in a home. Kevin speaks with Mary Eberstadt, author of Home-Alone America: The Hidden Toll of Day Care, Behavioral Drugs, and Other Parent Substitutes.

Guest host Adam McManus [www.AdamMcManus.net] chats with Dr. Gary Crossland, a Bible translator, Greek scholar and Israel tour leader, about his 363-page book “The Merged Gospels.” [www.MergedGospels.com] Unlike typical Gospel harmonies, which only compare blocks of texts between the Gospels, “The Merged Gospels” breaks all four Gospels down WORD-BY-WORD. It is the first book in history to literally translate the Gospels from the Greek language, merging all of them together into one flowing, chronological narrative, extracting only the duplicated content. Not one word of Scripture has been removed, and all major differences between the Gospels have been highlighted. Look at a sample: http://mergedgospels.com/Merged_Gospels_Sample.pdf In addition, Dr. Crossland took 7 trips to Israel during which he literally retraced the steps of Jesus through all 94 geographic sites referred to in the Gospels -- a huge undertaking! Watch this 7-minute video which will give you a taste for the meticulous research and the time he invested into the project: http://mergedgospels.com/MG/BookPromoVideo.html You’ll see why I call him the Christian Indiana Jones. Available both as a book and as an audiobook (7 CD’s) with 183 different scores as musical beds at http://mergedgospels.com/MG/Book-And-Audio-Book2.html, you’ll learn about the 5 benefits to reading The Merged Gospels. Finally, they spend significant time exploring Dr. Crossland’s 30-minute documentary entitled “The Gospels: Fact or Fiction” in which he discusses 5 out of 10 reasons why you should never doubt that everything that appears in the Gospels is indeed historically accurate. http://mergedgospels.com/MG/FactOrFictionVideo.html Dr. Crossland earned his Master of Arts and Biblical Languages from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri and his doctorate at Masters International School of Divinity in Evansville, Indiana.

Monica O'Connor and her husband Eddie have not only homeschooled their 6 children, ranging in age from 28 down to 6, but they have also fostered 22 children over the last 10 years. Through their sacrificial foster care ministry, they came to the attention of the authorities who threatened to fine them $4,000 for not sending their children to government schools.

After 18 years of Sunday School, Youth Groups, and even Christian school, many Christian children still graduate from high school thoroughly indoctrinated in a humanist worldview, and become big humanists in college. And they just walk away from the faith. In this interview Kevin Swanson conducted with World Magazine founder, Joel Belz, we look at several different problems with Christian education fifty years into this new movement. Joel is one of the most experienced voices on this issue of Christian education in the country. What makes Christian education so ineffective, and what can we do to bolster it?
