Recovering Biblical Worship — Psalms, Reverence, and Joy from Sunday to Saturday

What is worship—and why do the Psalms belong at the center of it? Kevin Swanson talks with Pastor Jonathan Landry Cruz about the Bible's own songbook, how to "serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling," and why corporate worship breathes life into private and family worship. Steps for families and pastors include pre-reading texts, learning the week's hymns at home, and giving children confessional anchors they can say by heart. We look at lament, joy, and spiritual formation through Psalm-singing, and point you to practical resources for your church and household.

Abortion "reform" sounds civilized—until you run the thought experiment. If a mother hires an assassin to kill her 9-month-old outside the womb, would we certify the killer, add counseling, or simply cut a check? In this episode we expose the logic of incrementalism, call pastors to preach the whole counsel of God, and press for real justice under Romans 13. Defund the blood money. Prosecute the crime. Repentance, not half-measures, is how nations heal.

Is peace with in-laws even possible? Yes—when the gospel leads. The dads discuss transferring headship, giving counsel without grabbing the wheel, planning connection on purpose, and responding to dysfunction with service, humility, and help from church elders. Hopeful, honest, and loaded with field-tested practices for families with married children.

UNESCO's report was written from a desk—then aims to rule your desk at home. Without visiting real homeschools, the UN prescribes searches and standards that shift authority from parents to bureaucrats. We highlight legal wins that block home inspections and outline a strategy for nations to recognize the right to homeschool without surrendering it to UN ideology.

Is Halloween redeemable—or are we simply cutting the ears off the Playboy bunny and calling the logo "clean"? This conversation unpacks why symbols aren't neutral, how 1 Corinthians 10 guides conscience, and how families can replace "no" with a richer "yes." The invitation: celebrate saints, not séances—life, not death.

Why do we keep losing? Because we surrender the principle, dilute the language, and comfort our consciences with body bags and disposal kits. Abolition says: apply the same laws that protect born people to the unborn—no partiality. Bradley Pierce joins us to walk through the theology, the numbers, and the needed courage to love both mother and child with justice and truth.

When Vivek Ramaswamy's Hindu faith meets America's post-Christian confusion, the collision reveals just how far we've drifted from truth. Hinduism denies moral absolutes, and modern America does too—just in different language. From karma to "follow your heart," the worldview is the same: man is god. Until we recover a biblical foundation, our politics will keep reflecting our idolatry.

The two best-selling "Christian" books of the last decade were "The Shack" and "Jesus Calling." Is this a reformation of Christian literature? "The Shack" has sold 25 million copies, and "Jesus Calling" has sold 15 million, and "The Shack" will be produced as a major motion picture, coming out in a few weeks. Here's the big question we address here. . . . How do you speak with "Christian" friends who like "The Shack" and other similarly bad books?

There are political deceptions — and then there are spiritual deceptions. When Christians start chasing the shadows instead of standing in the light, Satan has already won. From JFK to COVID, from the deep state to the dark web, conspiracy thinking is swallowing up discernment. This is not harmless curiosity — it's the Devil's diversion.

Taylor Swift is the biggest pop phenomenon since Michael Jackson, 117 Guinness World Records, the successor of the Beatles . . . and on and on the accolades go. She is pro-abortion, pro-gay, but most importantly, "pro-me." She represents the current "I feel" zeitgeist better than anything. The me-centered, feelings-dominated modern male and female appreciate the worship services led by Taylor Swift—89,000 at a time. She also leads the world from decadence to despair, unlike any other popular cultural icon of the last half century. Christians teach just the opposite . . . hope, self-denial, and God-centeredness.
