Thinking Christianly in Politics - Interview with Joe Boot

Kevin and Bill discuss the $200 billion IVF industry—starting with news of a surrogate mother required to abort because the baby was missing two fingers. They talk about the 7:20 abortion rate…how selling baby parts naturally led to selling babies…the incredible number of children destroyed or put on ice through IVF…and how a third of surrogacy babies are trafficked to homosexual couples, where rates of sexual abuse are 3–4× higher.

Kevin speaks to Joe Boot about his new book, Think Christianly. They discuss the fatal error of politics as a realm governed purely by natural reason, without the need for special revelation…how the "privatizing" of God's Word to family and church brought forth secularism…the nature of the church as a fundamentally political institution…and how to apply Christ's rule to politics.

Lying, anger, laziness, lust — family is a beautiful opportunity for gospel life! The panel discusses how to remain hopeful even when kids keep committing the same sins…how to confront and disciple them after the 76th time they're caught…what to expect in terms of breakthroughs…how much mom should deal with ongoing sin…and the place of guilt, shame, and the gospel.

We're facing a seven-year drought worse than the dust-bowl days of the Great Depression. Is this related to our embrace of homosexual "marriage" and increased support for abortion? When Trump recently read 2 Chronicles 7, he called Americans to humble themselves before God, that he may heal our land. But will anyone heed this call…including Trump himself? And if judgment begins with the household of God, what does this mean for the church?

Should adult daughters pursue careers outside the home, or prioritize the household? Kevin and Josh examine Proverbs 31, Titus 2, and the biblical pattern of the family economy, asking whether modern work structures have pulled women away from their primary sphere of influence.

American support for Israel has plummeted in the past three years, especially in the younger generation. Kevin and Bill talk about what is going on in the mind of Americans…the drop-off of white evangelicalism…backpedaling in dispensationalism…how the memory of the Nazis is fading…how 9/11 was the greatest PR move FOR Islam in American history…and whether the US should "stand with Israel."

Kevin talks with Eric Ludy about the chief attributes of manhood as revealed in the character of Jesus — along with how we can build resilience to face the challenges of manhood on a habitual basis…how answering this question changes the world…how we can raise our sons to go beyond us…and how men can take hold of grace to govern their sexuality and live like Christ.

The greatest crisis in our time may not be political or economic, but rather generational. The faith once passed carefully from father to son is now often neglected within a single generation. In this episode, the dads discuss how to recover a biblical vision for continuity: fathers and grandfathers taking responsibility to declare the works of God, cultivate humility, and invest intentionally in the spiritual lives of their children and grandchildren.

In Canada, more humans than dogs are being euthanized — and it's not even close. Now liberals are on the verge of controlling their parliament, and a majority of MPs have voted to criminalize quoting Scripture's teaching on sexuality. But they are hardly alone. Kevin and Bill discuss the state of the West…Colorado's liberal shift into one of the most evil states in America…and how Christians should push back through civil disobedience.

Should Christians support foreign wars in places like the Middle East, or refuse them? Kevin and Josh examine just war theory, civil authority, and whether Christian families should support their sons fighting in foreign conflicts. Who bears the responsibility for determining a just war—the magistrate or the individual conscience?
