Insight for Today's culture

Hot [One Minute Feature]

Equipping our children with the armor of God is the only way to prepare them for what their future holds.

Do you believe that today’s culture reflects the 1960’s America our parents grew up in? How are you teaching and preparing your kids for what is to come in our society?

Mimic of 1960's America

The irrational anarchy is seen in today's rioter's mears that we saw in the 1960’s America. The common thread in both revolutions has been sex, drugs, and rock & roll. The difference today is the sex is even more pelephic and twisted, the pot is stronger and the rock & roll has bowed to another level of decadence heard in rap and hip-hop. Today’s rebellion has the internet to help fuel this higher level of decadence.

This is why Christian parents must amp up their strategies by intentionally training up Godly warriors to confront the world. Equipping our kids with the full armor of God because fundamentally this is a spiritual battle. We need to prepare ourselves and our kids for just that, starting on our knees.

Pandemic with Leslie Parrott [Podcast]

We don’t know what we don’t know and the fear of the unknown can lead us to panic, irrational thinking, and decision making.

During the COVID pandemic, many people have relied on technology for school, meetings, and even church. Do you believe our way of doing things has changed? Do you believe we have learned from this experience, especially for the future? Dr. …

Stand Firm [One Minute Feature]

Suit up and stand firm against the evildoers of our country, states, and towns.

In a culture where the license to anarchy is given, how do we teach our kids to stand firm? Do you as parents agree that we should stand firm?

Suit Up

If you have been watching the news lately you’ll see something in common to every city in America where anarchy is reigning and that is a permissive and appeasing attitude and a lack of any kind of discipline or punishment in the so-called progressive government that leads each of these cities.

I mean many say the root of it is to keep Donald Trump from being reelected but there are some deeper issues involved and some deeper lessons to be learned in it. You do not appease a rebel, you suit up, whatever you think that might look like metaphorically speaking and you prepare to stand your ground. You exercise the appropriate discipline including the appropriate amount of punishment politically incorrect as that term may be right now.

Steadfast [One Minute Feature]

Parenting by the bible is the only way to parent, not by the culture in which we live.

To parent in today’s culture, you have to be strong and pray. How do you as a parent teach your children the moral truth? Do you believe that teachers, church officials, and other so-called role models have been pressured to promote the society they are wanting us to accept?

Parenting by the Book

For years I have been warning parents that so many of their kid's behavioral issues are born out of the systemic cultural insanity that has been permeating America’s infrastructure since the sixties and that too many of us have accepted it all as normal. Being drunk is normal for an alcoholic, but is it normal to be an alcoholic, of course not. Parents have got to convince our kids that we and not the perceived masses are on the right side of moral truth. Because today teachers, professors, government officials, media personalities, mental health, and even church officials have now been duped and or pressured to support and even promote this chaos. Be steadfast parents and pray lest the world goes insane.

Adult Brats [One Minute Feature]

It is important for parents to understand the guidance that is needed for our children to grow up and be productive adults rather than spoiled brats who feel entitled to what others have worked so hard for.

The destruction we are seeing today in towns across America are not the doings of children but grown adults. Do you think this behavior will influence our children? Should this behavior be tolerated by other adults, law enforcement, and even our kids?

Rebellious Grown-Ups

The bible and what use to be called common sense is replete with the importance and the benefits of the discipline for kids and adults alike. The rioting we have seen in America is largely the adult version of entitled and rebellious spoiled brats throwing temper tantrums without consequences. It’s like they have been groomed for all of this by their permissive parents or parents who were indifferent.

Maybe their parents were just to busy or exhausted or perhaps their parents were not there at all. Basically what we are seeing is the logical outworking of what it looks like when herds of undisciplined children grow up to be undisciplined adults. Wise discipline can certainly hurt but it never harms. A lack of discipline ultimately does harm and now we are seeing that harm played out.

Dad-poles [One Minute Feature]

An analogy as simple as missing frogs can explain how to avoid the chaos that exists today in our culture.

In our society, the lack of fathers in the home or even in the lives of their children has become greater than ever before. Do you believe this has caused a chaotic world? Do you believe if more dads were in the home there would be less chaos?

Disappearing

When it comes to understanding the chaos going on in America today, pundits are almost always four squares behind the deeper issues and long term solutions of addressing having dads in the homes. This problem is analystic to the strange disappearance of frogs.

As frog experts focus and pontificate on the reasons why frogs are missing, nobody addresses or even notices that something has first been eating the tadpoles. You can’t have frogs without first having tadpoles. So follow my analogy here. Solve the dad-pole problem and being knee-deep in senseless chaos will eventually diminish.

Growth with Dr. Henry Cloud [Podcast]

Understanding the growth with and without boundaries in our children’s lives can be difficult in our culture today.

Every wise parent knows the importance of exercising boundaries with their children, but when should our children be allowed to grow without boundaries? What areas of growth in their lives need no boundaries? Dr. Henry Cloud is a graduate of …
