The Morality of the Elite vs. Epstein

What plans would you change if you knew you were doing to die tomorrow? Forget money — what will your children remember you for? What do you want to pass on to them in turn…and what do you NOT want to pass on? The panel talks about the inheritance they have received…the inheritance they intend to leave…how to course-correct a bad legacy…and how to bring forth an inheritance that endures.

America is the most God-blessed nation, and has retained a Christian heritage far exceeding any other. But are we at a tipping point? Kevin speaks to Sam Russ about five criteria of a Christian nation, and the historical evidence that America was one…and could still be. They discuss the appointment of Reformed evangelical Pete Hegseth as Secretary of War, what it may indicate about the times we are living in…and what we as Christians must do.

With the new craze over weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, how should Christians respond? Kevin and Josh talk about God's values vs society's, how humanism naturally leads to worshiping the body — and how we become what we behold. Then they go to the Scriptures for a holistic doctrine of stewardship that helps us to live well, without forbidding foods, turning our bodies into idols, or over-emphasizing the physical at the expense of the spiritual.

Abortion and LGBTQ issues have zero traction in politics any more. So should we jettison social conservatism for fiscal? Kevin talks with Bill Jack about the utter lack of substance behind Republican fiscal policy. We're doing worse on the deficit-to-GDP ratio in this fiscal year than Biden did in every year of his office. So what should we do when conservatives don't care about social sins, and are more liberal on spending than liberals?

Marco Rubio's landmark speech to the Munich Security Council called Europe back to its Christian foundations — but is anyone listening? Kevin Swanson and Sam Rust examine the alarming statistics of church decline across Western Europe, the rapid growth of Islam on the continent, and what it all means for the future of Christian civilization. Is there enough salt left to preserve the West, or are we watching the final stages of a judgment long in the making?

Cowardice, people-pleasing, apathy, self-seeking — these sins are passive and easy to overlook. But when indulged, relationships dwindle, children drift, and households disintegrate. The panel discusses the pride that causes conflict-avoidance…right and wrong ways to say, "I don't want to argue about this"….the right time to be silent or emotionally detached…and how to engage, even when it's hard.

With 166 standing ovations in a single address, the State of the Union revealed more than policy priorities — it exposed the heart of America. Kevin and Bill review the real accomplishments along with the issues left unaddressed, in Trump's 2026 State of the Union address.

Is patriarchy biblical, misunderstood, or misused? In this conversation, Kevin and Josh challenge both feminist rejection and reactionary overcorrection, insisting that Scripture defines authority through love, responsibility, and care. True headship looks less like control and more like Christ laying down His life.

The media we're ingesting is often toxic. But how bad is it? Kevin talks to author Doug Smith about how cleverly our smartphones are designed to disciple us in the seven deadly sins, when we sit down, when we travel, when we go to bed, and when we wake up. Doug shares five biblical practices to reshape us in the image of God, so we can be disciplined in our habits, and diligent in our callings.

Many of the world's most influential intellectuals have argued that morality can stand apart from God, yet the Epstein scandal — touching figures across science, finance, politics, and royalty such as Prince Andrew — has challenged that confidence. Kevin and Danny explore how elite claims of moral autonomy collide with the reality of conscience and accountability.
