Diet and Fitness — What Does the Bible Say About That?

The Scriptures have quite a bit to say about eating and fitness. There are wrong ways to handle food and fitness in a wealthy age such as ours, with the tendency to be towards sinful excesses. There's ditches everywhere: ditches of sensuality, ditches of gluttony, ditches of focusing so much on physical health that it becomes the essence of life. . . . So where is the balance? What is the purpose of eating? Of exercise? How do we do these things to the glory of God? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow dig into these questions on this edition of the program. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (IRS: Churches can't lose tax-exempt status if they endorse candidates, Irish pro-lifers upset 50,000 babies killed since 2019, Chinese Communists imprison three church leaders) 2.

One of the biggest crying needs of the day is a faith continuity from one generation to the next. There's nothing more important than seeing the hearts of fathers turning to the children, and the hearts of children turning to the fathers. This is prayer burden—asking for the Spirit to work through our families and churches, and to bring repentance. One way this happens is when men embrace their God-given responsibilities and callings on their lives as husbands and fathers, conscientiously and intentionally shepherding their wives and children. On this edition of the program, Kevin Swanson and Joel Beeke discuss Joel's new book, How to Lead Your Family: A Guide to Men Wanting to Be More, on practical ways men can be prophets, priests, and kings within their homes. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Indian legislator offers money to assassinate pastors, Texas Governor called for a Day of Prayer for flood victims, Iranian Christians losing hope about regime change) 2.

The US Government is buying back its own bonds. Scott Bessent is following in the footsteps of John Maynard Keynes. Senator Josh Hawley is pushing for raising the minimum wage. But while the government redistributes the wealth (largely from the middle class to the lower class), wealth disparity is increasing because Federal Reserve policies will always favor the rich. The shell game is impossible for the average person to follow. But suffice it to say, some animals turn out to be more equal than others. But why not just trust God, and run the economy by biblical principles and honest money? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Death toll in Texas flash floods climbs to 79; Trump's Big Beautiful Bill defunded Planned Parenthood; Pakistani Christian girl, kidnapped for two years, escapes) 2.

How do you get along well with managers who are hard to work with? How do you approach the difficult coworker—those who don't get along well in the sandbox? What happens when we're falsely accused? What are the Biblical principles that apply to the workplace (or any other relationship in our lives)? On this edition of Disciple for Dads, Kevin, Bill, and Todd dive into these issues and bring 1 Peter 2 and other passages to bear. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (House sends Big Beautiful Bill to Trump's desk, RFK Jr. cites link between Hepatitis vaccine and autism, 4 killed and 14 wounded in Chicago drive-by at rapper party) 2.

How did this happen? The most dominant cultural form turned out to be the most depraved ever produced in this country or anywhere else. Researchers have discovered that the hip hop cultural form outpaced the Beatles in its pervasive and omnipresent influence upon American culture. Their study looked at differences in chords, rhythms and tonal properties over 50 years of top chart hits. This brings up the more important question: how does one "redeem" cultural forms including the middle finger, hiphop, the Nazi swastika, and the playboy bunny? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Man's gold necklace cross deflected bullet; Jimmy Swaggart, known for his "I have sinned" confession, died at 90; Afraid of losing $175m, U of Penn agrees to stop transgender nonsense) 2.

The Word of God is relevant to every area of life. What does it say about attending weddings that involve illegitimate divorce or a homosexual relationship? Should we approve of sin, compromising our relationship with Jesus Christ for other relationships, including family relationships? Ultimately, our love for Jesus will be tested, by our desire to either please God or to please other people. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Senate passed Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, Hundreds of Hindus attacked Christians in India, Rare Indonesian fish is thorn in evolutionists' side) 2.

It's sort of hard to be in the 1%. . .of people who hold to a biblical worldview. . . or the 3% of young people who are virgins at 27. Adam talks about his experience as "the 40 year old virgin." Also, we look at the problem of religious nominalism. With 69% of Americans calling themselves Christians, why are only a small percentage regularly attending church on Sunday?

The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Dad jumps off Disney Cruise ship to save daughter, Worldview donors exceed goal!, Brazilian homeschool mother facing $20,000 of fines) 2.

Modern billionaires are expanding their sultan-realms to include a hundred children plus. Will billionaires Elon Musk or Pavel Durov save humanity by sperm donation, based on an evolutionary view of the world? We address sperm donation from a biblical perspective — so far, impacting at least 600,000 babies and counting. Then, we dig down into the libertarian worldview that underlies the thinking of these billionaires. Are these worldviews seeping into the Christian mind today? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (The Worldview is just $10,540.45 short; Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill clears procedural vote; South Korea detains 6 Americans sending Bibles into North Korea) 2.

What are some ways that husbands can show love and affection for their wives? How can a husband support his wife spiritually, physically, and mentally? Kevin, Bill, and Todd address these questions in this edition of Discipleship for Dads. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Supreme Court: South Carolina can defund Planned Parenthood, Defense Secretary Hegseth defends success of bombing Iran, Two who stopped gunman at Michigan church hailed as heroes) 2.

The most atheistic nations in the world are not all communist. They are all man worshippers and money worshippers. But how did they get that way? What are their roots? And why did they reject the Christian faith? Both North and South Korea made the list but for different reasons. Ideas, education, and books will make the difference and inform a nation's worldview. The most atheistic nation in the world is not China or North Korea. It's the Czech Republic. This program includes: 1. The World View in Five Minutes with Adam McManus (ICE arrested 11 Iranian nationals, including an Iranian sniper; Muslim socialist beat Andrew Cuomo in NYC mayoral primary; Astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary head to Int'l Space Station) 2.
