The American Legacy – A Country Built by Persecuted Christians

The 250 year anniversary for the founding of the United States of America is coming up. In the meantime, America's freedom index is dropping, as it becomes less free. The US is a unique country, in that it was established by persecuted Christians seeking refuge, and even though the freedom it offers is dropping, it still remains the most God-blessed nation in the world. It is the most generous and most powerful nation, and still has a strong Christian influence at work in the 21st century. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Pastor John MacArthur died, Judge blocks defunding of Planned Parenthood in new law, Pro-perversion and pro-abortion European group targets Christians) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson

We contrast post-Christian England and post-Christian America with post-Christian Germany of the early 20th Century. Then, we work through the six different causes for world wars, and run through the seedbed for war fomented in Germany and Russia prior to World War I and World War II.  Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Abortionist gets slap on wrist for leaving "half" of baby inside woman, Leftist argues Dems should become "pro-porn" party to win back men) 2.

The most important thing in a boy's life is the presence of other men and fathers or father figures in their lives. To be there for his sons and to raise them to be strong men of God is one of the most important things a dad can do in his life. How should a father approach this important task, and what are some practical tips to help dads who find this responsibility intimidating? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (New Superman movie is woke and anti-Trump, Pediatrician suggested MAGA voters should die in Texas flood, Nigerian Muslims gunned down pastor and Muslim convert to Christ) 2.

Telehealth abortions have now exceeded 25% of total abortions in the country — many of these are crossing over into pro-life states. We draw in some lessons from American history on this segment. Shall we let the states decide on abortion . . .and let the pro-abortion states send assassins into pro-life states and kill the babies? Or, should America have let the states decide the slavery question . . . and then allowed slave traders from pro-slavery states to kidnap slaves from anti-slavery states? It's doubtful the administration has the will to do anything about it, at this point. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Samaritan's Purse helping flood-ravaged Texans, Planned Parenthood closes Cleveland abortion mill, Reformed pastors to call U.K. Parliament to repent) 2.

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.
