The Police Officer and the Gang Member - Mentorship for Fatherless Convicts

July 12, 2012
Here is an unusual, wonderful, and powerful story of how God saved a young man—a gang member. It is the altogether-too-familiar story of the fatherless street boy wandering into the life of the gang, eventually being convicted of attempted murder, and getting locked up in a maximum-security prison in California. But in this story a police officer took it upon himself to mentor this lost young teen over a period of six years. God radically changed this boy’s life! Here is the story of the power of mentorship and the power of the Gospel. It is the story of Lalo Guenther and Kevin LaChapelle.

Only 29% of Americans believe in the public schools now, down from 58% in 1973! Confidence in America's largest institutions is dropping steadily, decade by decade, generation by generation, portending the end of an empire. . .the end of an era. The only hope Americans have now is in technology, but this too is about to fail us. Yet, there is still a remnant that has solid hope for the future. The rest do not. The cultural analysis in this program is CRITICAL for all of the "sons of Issachar" who will "understand the times."

Why are we facing the ever-expanding socialization of medicine in America? Could it have something to do with the fact that the average American church’s contribution to the diaconate is a negligible proportion of the church budget? Kevin Swanson interviews Scott Brown, director of the National Center for Family-Integrated Churches, on the rise of socialism and the failure of the church in 21st century America.

Only 25 feedlots provide 48% of America's meat. The centralization of agriculture does not bode well for the future of food in America. But how does a family make it with the family farm in the 21st century, against the debt-based, subsidized system? The good news is that there are creative solutions THAT ARE WORKING! Kevin Swanson interviews Robert Bruce Davis from Agstrong.com on his vision for encouraging family farms in America. Good, solid practical advice for families who wish to build family economies, here.

Do the ten commandments apply to government? The natural law, two-kingdom types say, "Nuh-uh." But we say, "Uh-huh!" Christians really shouldn't be fighting for transvestite rights in the public schools in Virginia. Oh, and spending on food stamps has increased 100% since President Obama took office. It increased about 63% under George W. Bush. Every little bit helps, if we're going to make it to total government control! The USDA is suggesting throwing food stamp parties to get more people hooked on it! Kevin Swanson speaks to his involvement in the Personhood movement in Colorado, and the growing threat of violence coming from the pro-abortion community against pro-lifers. Who would have thought?

The present economy makes it tough on Dads who want to build family economies, mentor sons, and prepare daughters for their own household economies. AMEProgram.com director, Mike Cheney and Kevin Swanson talk about their own journeys over the last fifteen years as they sought freedom from the big corporate world.

College students are more likely to think of themselves as evolved out of cosmic slime with no transcendent purpose for life (than the rest of the population). The more educated you are, the more more likely your worldview will be framed by evolution and materialism. That's why the Institute for Creation Research is engaging the conversation on-line with thoughtful students on these ultimate questions. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Jason Lisle on why "Your Origins Matter."

The Supreme Court of the United States refusing to submit itself to God's law? That does happen at an increasingly frequent rate these days. But then again, why does the National Association of Evangelicals associate itself with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy with its safe-sex for unmarried teens programs and all the rest?

We have reached a crisis in the Greek synthesis in the west. The old humanist universities and religious institutions in the west are rotting out. These old universities will never attain the level of degradation the Greeks and Romans achieved. Classical education will never be able to bring it back to the gymnasiums. The Catholic church will never be able to legitimize pederasty. Kevin Swanson provides the history of Christianity vs. the old Greek and Roman treatment of homosexuality in this edition of Generations. Sadly, some evangelicals cannot comprehend the extent of the disintegration of the west. They can't seem to bring themselves to use the "R" word - Repentance. According to recent news reports, ministries like Exodus International and Focus on the Family are upset with the Family Research Council for giving an award to a pastor who used harsh words for homosexuality.

The Supreme Court of the United States has issued its ruling on Obama's Socialist Medicine Bill. Some rulings are more important than others. Some rulings will seal the fate of the nation. This ruling really does constitute one giant step towards total government in America. But there is one window of opportunity left for freedom. There is one small exemption left for families who want to be free, and do not want to be euthanized or support government-endorsed euthanasia in the year 2020. Kevin Swanson interviews James Lansberry from the Samaritan Christian Medical Sharing Ministry (exempted in the Senate version of the bill in question). The Amish exempted themselves from Social Security in the Medicare Bill of 1965. "Tucked into the 138 page bill was a clause exempting the Old Order Amish, and any other religious sect who conscientiously objected to insurance, from paying Social Security payments, providing that sect had been in existence since December 31, 1950. Well, tucked into Obama's bill was one more exemption, and Christians are using this one!

Kevin Swanson reports from Colorado on the devastating wildfires burning down the eastern slope in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. Thus far, at least 300 homes are burned to the ground, and the fire is only 5% contained. You would think that these disasters would inspire a little fear of God in the heart of the governor. But we're not catching this in the news reports. How vulnerable are these towns to a guy with a Bic and 5 cans of gasoline in the back of his pickup truck? Never have our cities been more vulnerable to fires, terrorists, WMD's, and EMP's! The old Proverb still bears some weight - "When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."
