Kevin and Steve discuss the importance of ideas, world view, and art in culture. Tom T. Hall, a country singer and a nihilist, wrote a song entitled “The Man Who Shot Himself,” then ended up shooting himself and committing suicide over 40 years after the song came out. Ideas are powerful things. The habits and patterns that are set in younger years will affect the later years of our lives. This is why it is vital that we remember and fear God in the days of our youth, and separate ourselves from self-destructive art, lest we move into despair and nihilism.

This program includes:

1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Canada’s Justin Trudeau on brink of resigning, Swiss gov't removed 16-year-old girl from parents over trans issue, Two by Twos cult involved in child abuse)

2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
