He who troubles his house shall inherit the wind — so a workaholic is no better than a sluggard. The panel discusses keeping it between these ditches: breaking a control-freak mindset…three warning signs of burnout…examples of how to reduce high stress levels…what it looks like to apply the Sabbath principle every Sunday…and ultimately entering the rest of the Lord, and exemplifying that rest to our children.

Kevin talks with Jed Coppenger about 10 traps of an inauthentic faith. They discuss spotting those hypocrisies which don't fit our pet molds…questions to ask ourselves to flush out hypocrisy in our own lives…how to spot when we're majoring on the minors (and minoring on the majors)…what to do when church leaders are exposed as fakes…and when being active for Jesus is a way to avoid being intimate with Him.

Kevin and Josh take on a listener's question about racial comfort and church choice. They talk about the two equal and opposite ditches of the woke church and the racist church…how the gospel is the only force powerful enough to dissolve ethnic enmity…what Ephesians 2:14 and Revelation 7:9 say about the unity Christ purchased……and how being an A-to-Z discipleship church is essential to crossing cultural boundaries.

Will America be any different?

Kevin talks to James Baird about his new book, King of Kings. They discuss the myth that Christ's kingdom is exclusively spiritual…how people mistake His patience with rebellious states for absence…what "Christ is Lord" actually implies for our doctrine of government…how this ties into Christian Nationalism and "public spirit"…and the three historical principles of rulership that a Christian representative can use to help reform politics today.

What is the relationship between family and church — and how important should church be in the family's priorities? If the church itself is a family, how does the natural family fit into it…without getting erased? How much should Sunday revolve around church (and the rest of the week)? What are the ways dad should be engaging at church — and how can every member of the household find a place and get involved?

Iran is a key nation in the world today; the largest and strongest in the middle East. Kevin speaks with pastor Pooyan Mehrshahi to understand what is happening spiritually in Iran. They discuss how the Ayatollahs disillusioned the Iranians from Islam…the dangers this exposes them to as they grope for a replacement…the extent of Christian persecution and martyrdom…how the Bible is being spread throughout Iran…and what the nation needs most.
