Property Taxes, Marxism, and Liberty - Steps to Reversing the Tyranny
Property tax is crucial to the communist, Marxist agenda, which became entrenched in American between roughly 1845 and 1890. The end result is that we’re living under some of the most severe tyrannies of all time today. Until about 1913, taxes never exceeded 7 percent of the people’s income—including during the Roman Empire. Now we see tax rates of 40, 50, and 60 percent. But a movement to decrease property taxes seems to be sweeping the nation, starting with states like Wyoming. So, what is a proper tax rate, according to God? What principles should guide what the government collects from the people? On this edition of the program, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the topic of property taxes and the top priorities for reversing the communism that took hold of this country in 19th Century.

Baptism Controversy - What Does the Bible Say About That?
America has become very individualistic over the years, which has also created a more individualized view of Christianity, and in particular, baptism. However, what does the Bible say about this topic? The Bible mentions household baptism and whole households being saved. Are household baptisms appropriate? What about sprinkling vs. immersion? When can we be sure that regeneration has occurred? It's good to chew on and be thoughtful about these questions.

Women are leaving the church in droves, while men are coming back into the church. In previous years, women have been attending churches in larger numbers. There is a desire for both men and women to be revived spiritually. However, what does a true revival look like? Is it tied to emotion and music, or is there more to it than that?

The Nature of God
Does worldview matter? Do basic foundational doctrines really matter in the lives of Christians? A new study from Barna shows that only 11 percent of American adults believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, while 16 percent of self-proclaimed Christians hold to it. The number of Gen Z’s who believe in the Trinity comes in at only 8 percent. The doctrine of the Trinity has been largely neglected in churches today in favor of more “relevant” topics, the 20-minute homily, and the 40-minute music program. But not being grounded in the most basic doctrines makes one susceptible to false teachers. So how do we overcome this as we raise the next generation? First, check the foundations and worldview of everything you and your children participate in. Give your children a proper worldview as you teach them, and then instruct them on how to cast down every imagination and every high thing that exalts itself above Christ.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.

Snow White and the Brothers Grimm – Humanism or Paganism?
In 1937, Disney's Snow White made $4 billion (adjusted for inflation), and is one of the highest-grossing films as of today. However, the most recent remake of Snow White, filled with feminism, Marxism, and socialism, has just bombed at the box office. Disney has dialed in on the wokeism of the day and continues to lose money. However, where did these stories originally come from, and what was the worldview of their authors? Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack explore the Grimm brothers, the fates, and the synthesis of Christianity and paganism that is present in many Grimm fairy tales.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.

Church or Family? - Discipleship for Dads
In this segment of Discipleship for Dads, we visit the importance of church vs. family. The reality is that fathers, families, and churches need to be revived, but what should take priority? It's a both/and - we can't have strong families without strong churches, and we can't have strong churches without strong families. If both are important, however, what should this look like for Christian families? How can families serve in the church? Is hospitality important?
