Big Foot, Flat Earth, and Other “Fun” Topics

Here we discuss the power of "positive affirmations," flat earth, and Big Foot. But really, the discussion goes deeper into the modern babel, anti-establishmentarianism, "Remnant-ology," the nature of truth, hyper-individualism, a fixation on the unknown or the untestable or unprovable, and the interpretation of prophetic language. Would you trust science that doesn't fear God? Would you trust science that fears human conspiracies?Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Democracy Disappearing in the World

The share of the world living under democracy (where people vote for their leaders) has dropped to 29%, down from 54% back in the year 2000. That's the lowest number since roughly 1950, as monitored by Freedom House. But why did freedoms begin disappearing from the earth somewhere around the year 2006? After 1,000 years, the heritage of freedom brought to the world by the Christianized West is finally disappearing. We discuss the various types of economic and political freedoms and provide a strata of priority freedoms for which we still need to fight.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Burning Man, Wicker Man 2014, 2017, 2023

The pagans are back in California, Nevada, and Indiana, and with them comes the ancient practice of human sacrifice. But human sacrifice is unacceptable in a Christian nation—and Christian governments must prosecute these false religions that open the door for it. These demonic religions are on the rise as Christian faith wanes. Who is opening the gates to this spiritual darkness, and how do we shut the gates to it now?Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Trump vs. DeSantis, 6 Weeks vs. 15 Weeks

Here we are arguing over whether to kill a 6-week-old child or a 15-week-old child. Americans are okay with killing kids now. And Republican politicians are waffling on abortion bans. Imagine what it would be like to have a wise leader in Washington, leading a nation . . . or leading any nation for that matter? With the dearth of wise and righteous leaders, our nations and states have lost their way. We draw from Proverbs and other Scriptures to define what wise leadership would look like.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Statist Sins, Capital Vices of Civil Government

Can governments do whatever they want to do? Can they take all your money at gunpoint? Can they confiscate your children? Can they engage in genocide at will? Or is there a point at which they violate God’s law? The rise of statism or the embracing of the god-state has been devastating to the country and has affected the church and church leaders in the modern world. The question as to whether God is God or the state is God is an important one. Here are seven statist sins committed by the state today, and too often Christians become willing accomplices. Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Do Americans Break the Commandments?

What ever happened to the 10 commandments? Digging into the first four, consider this: America is one of the most unrestful nations on Earth. This nation is more irreverent and tends to take God's name in vain more than any other nation, and the visual medium seems to attract a fixation verging on idolatry. Do we break these commandments at a more fundamental, principle level, and fail to realize it? And, what about the 4th commandment? What are the basic requirements of the 4th commandment before we get into the controversial elements? Here we deal with the fundamentals on the sabbath.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Coach Kennedy Loses the Battle

The US Supreme Court tried to get Coach Joe Kennedy's job back, but the high court is powerless to change the heart of America. The coach lost his job anyway after SCOTUS ruled in his favor. Christians fight for symbolic battles, but they are losing the cultural war at every front. If a Christian school wants to fire an Islamic coach who prays on the field six times a day, do they have that right? What we need is a Christian state, but the only way to get that is to restore Christian churches to the nation . . . which might produce Christian senators and representatives and judges. We're a long way from that. In the meantime, the best thing we can do is get the government completely out of the business of education. It's got to be tough for public schools attempting to maintain a pluralism that includes monotheism, polytheism, and atheism at the same time. How do they pull that off?Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

A $49 Trillion Robbery

It was the largest robbery ever pulled off in human history—amounting to $49 trillion. Federal Reserve policy surreptitiously shifted most of the wealth of the nation over to the top 10% of the population over the last 10 years. But that's nothing compared to what the Russians pulled off when shifting the wealth of the nation from the communists to the oligarchs.

United Nations Education Framework 2030

The United Nations Education Framework 2030 promises to export social justice, inclusion, LGBT, and all the other wokey programs to the world. And they are making progress! However, the one thing standing in the way of this international agenda is . . . parents, and more specifically, Christian parents who are committed to bringing their children up in the paideia of the Lord Jesus Christ.
