Will Robert Kennedy Split the Conservative Vote?
Will the pro-abortion, independent candidate for president, Robert Kennedy, split the conservative vote or the liberal vote? The question comes down to a commitment to either . . . the pro-life position or the anti-government populist position among American conservatives. How pro-life are the pro-lifers in the US? Recent data from Gallup finds that pro-abortionists are more committed to their position than the pro-lifers, especially when it comes to elections.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.

Gramsci’s Leviathan Hold on Power Centers
The leviathan hold on the three power centers is pretty much complete now. The cultural Marxists have got it. By all indexes, the American media, universities, and business world has gone woke, liberal, progressive, regressive—whatever you want to call it. We identify the most evil man in the world, at least in terms of influence on others—Warren Buffett, and note the push back on Disney. Is it too little too late?

Why Pastors Have Little Influence
There are major disconnects between church leadership and laity especially when it comes to socio-political matters. The same principle applies across the board—to Catholics, evangelicals, and main liners.

Harry Potter, Tolkien, and Wizardry
Children are reading less and less, but are we satisfied with readers if they are addicted to reading the wrong stuff?

Tolkien, and the Chronicles of Narnia. Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day. Strong.

Combating Feminism in the Church
Gloria Steinem and Gloria Friedan have done their work. As the smoke clears and the dust settles, one cannot help but see the damage done on all of human society. But how does the Christian respond? Is it possible to overreact? How do we address the questions of women working outside of the home, or teaching women in the church? Kevin Swanson lays out a pattern for addressing these critical matters. #1. Define the antithesis and the damage done by the enemy. #2. State the biblical principle and call for implementation. #3. Urge every family and church to love God with all their minds to make the right applications.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.
