If the internet has been dangerous and counterproductive to human life on planet earth, what about Artificial Intelligence? Is it dangerous? Is it deceptive? Is it potentially destructive? Could it destroy the world? After we are done with our list of cautions, is there anything worth salvaging here for human life on planet earth? What does the Bible say about artificial intelligence? At base, this is a worldview question. It is a Colossians 2:8 concern. We ask the question first — how does AI handle the normative, the existential, the situational, and the teleological? If poorly, how quickly might AI lead one astray!Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17896478-what-does-the-bible-say-about-artificial-intelligence-heightened-dangers-for-christians-and-all.mp3

Based on the evidence surfacing, it has become clear that Charlie Kirk is the first true Christian martyr on American soil. The world is listening.

There are some sort-of divisive issues, and then there are hyper-divisive issues. Will our leadership find ways to unify the nation on the most incendiary issues — Kill-Pill by Mail and Transgenderism? But then, the anti-Christian agenda is erupting into violence as well. Post-Christian apostasy can get violent. We draw in the post-Christian roots of the Nazi inner circle, and note the danger of it.Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17882393-america-risks-civil-war-the-things-that-divide-the-nation-abortion-transgenderism-anti-christian-ism.mp3

Conflict in the church is inevitable—but how we respond reveals the depth of our maturity and love for Christ. In this episode, the Discipleship for Dads panel tackles real-life examples of church conflict, from failed courtships to playground drama, and offers gospel-centered wisdom for navigating turbulent waters. Why do so many believers jump ship at the first sign of trouble? And how can we become less easily offended, more humble, and truly committed to unity in the body of Christ? The panel uses vivid metaphors and practical examples to remind us: the goal is not to avoid the rapids—but to stay in the boat together and grow stronger on the other side.Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17870018-navigating-church-conflict-with-grace-and-grit-discipleship-for-dads.mp3

Forms and art are a reflection of several key aspects of society, including the amount of common grace at work in and inherited by a society, and of course the prevalent worldview in the minds of those creating the art. So what should a Christian think about classical music produced by composers like Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn?  What does the Bible have to say about forms, and how do the principles of honor, chaos and order, and not eating things offered to idols tie into the discussion?Download the episode MP3 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17858386-classical-music-and-forms-what-does-the-bible-say-about-that.mp3

A few nations have shut down homeschooling entirely, and others are about to follow suit.  Parents do not have the choice. This year, at least one state wants to impose a DEI program on homeschoolers. Where did this compulsory attendance law come from, and what is the worldview that requires state control of the children? Before Jean-Jacques Rousseau there was Prussia and Christian Wolfe; and Wolfe lived up to his name. We analyze the Pelagian view of man that infected the lapsed Christians of Germany and America in the 18th and 19th Centuries.Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17852414-why-the-compulsory-attendance-law-the-enemy-wants-your-children.mp3

The National Football League has added “male cheerleaders” to the mix — a recent phenomenon. How to Christians respond to the sexualization and homosexualization of the NFL? We pursue a discussion on the gender blender in dress, hairstyle, body movements, etc. It’s not so much the feminization of the male, as it is the softening and emasculating of the modern male. What’s the remedy?Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17844285-male-cheerleaders-in-the-nfl-softness-in-the-gender-blender-and-real-masculinity.mp3

The US is divided ideologically like never before, and the schism has metastasized into a high-profile assassination on a college campus, with the death of Charlie Kirk (which occurred as we recorded the program). We recognize the courage and faith of Charlie Kirk, who fought some of the same battles we have engaged through the years. This program focuses on the worldview war playing out at the college campus, the rising ideological division on the campuses and between states, the abdication of Christians, and the rise of Islam.Download the episode MP3 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17825984-charlie-kirk-assassinated-at-a-college-the-ideological-divide-explodes-into-violence.mp3
