Interview: David Feddes Kevin Swanson interviews David Feddes concerning the substance of his doctoral dissertation on the plight of Christian culture in the west. We explore the reasons for its sharp decline since the 1960s. . . no make that the 1760s. Was it the radical agenda borne by the educational establishment, or the compromise of the seminaries and the churches? How did we get to where we are today, and where do we go from here

Here Kevin Swanson reviews one of the most shocking exposes anybody will ever watch in their lives. Pandora's Box Office is a new DVD release produced by Eric Holmberg that illustrates the incredible power of Hollywood to take a nation from the bathroom to the toilet, into the sewer system. Again, and again, in a relentless series of vignettes, Eric Holmberg takes you on a journey through Hollywood's productions. Over 40 years, sexuality on the movie screen moves from married people in separate beds to rape scenes enacted and homosexuality and aberrant forms celebrated on screen. Where will the future lead with these things? Reality murder shows for millions to watch? Kevin Swanson interviews Eric Holmberg on the sinister role of movies in taking a culture to Gomorrah, the critical importance of biblical discernment, and the future of a nation that forgot God.

Admittedly, we spend a great deal of time complaining about the massive growth in government, the public endorsement of homosexuality and abortion, the dissolution of the family and family freedoms, the rise in medical tyranny, and other onerous developments in our time. Millions of people enjoy the group therapy they get from the griping of conservative talk show hosts every day. But here's a plan to DO something about it. Kevin Swanson shows how a very small minority of families that will actually DO something could govern a state like Colorado.

Humanist cultures that tout their population implosions make way for those worldviews like Islam that are having children, lots of them! Nevertheless, this anti-baby climate is strong in the West. Just ask any parent with more than three children who walks through a grocery store and gets the question - "Are all those yours?" Australian university professors suggesting a $900 per year carbon tax for any family who has more than 2 children. An English woman recommends sterilization to "save the planet." Kevin Swanson reviews the roots of these ideas in the teachings of one Rev. Thomas Malthus - another monster in the list of intellectuals that ruined the west. Here was a man who introduced the idea of the scarcity of resources. Kevin argues that what we are up against is not a scarcity of resources. God is far more generous than these humanist pessimists think He is. Rather, we face a scarcity of faith, love, and character. Get ready to redefine economics, by means of a worldview paradigm shift!

Kevin Swanson uncovers a front page Rocky Mountain News article from 1859, entitled "A World Without the Sabbath." (The Rocky Mountain News is still Colorado's most popular newspaper.) For a moment, the author of this front page article envisions the horrible nightmare of a world without the Sabbath. "What would it do to the family? What would it to the nation?" This spawns a discussion on the Christian Sabbath and the part that it has played in Christian culture for 2,000 years. Should it be celebrated on the 1st day of the week, or the some other day? Kevin Swanson also touches on the exceptions allowed by Christ for the deeds of necessity and mercy.

The ultimate form of communication has been developed to maintain the breathtaking shallowness of modern relationships - Instant Messaging, and to a lesser extent, E-mail. Many children, even Christian homeschooling children spend hours with their Instant Messaging. Electronic communication has a function as a useful tool But more often than not, our computer-literate children are losing the ability to focus, to relate effectively and relationally, and to make efficient use of time. A well-warranted signal of caution is provided on this program for any parent who cares about his children's paideia-raising.

What happens when a group of people capture the concept of discipleship, and abandon the shallow, ineffective faith of revivalism? What happens when the discipleship lifestyle begins forming in the home? The spontaneous growth of the Christian faith, reproducing like crazy and spreading throughout the country! And this is happening across America in the form of the family discipleship movement. Listen to this exciting discussion between Henry Reyenga and Kevin Swanson, as they outline an exciting new growth of faith in America!

Christian bashing is increasingly popular today. It's so much easier that Jew bashing or even African American bashing, and you can usually get away with it in the public forum! Case in point was the ESPN commentator who used the F-word in conjunction with Jesus. Dr. Gary Cass from the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission comments on this rise in Christian bashing, which happens to be the title of his recent book So what to do about it? That's the point of the program.
