Christa Pike Survived Lethal Injection. What Does the Bible Say? Ep 210
Christa Pike tortured and murdered a 19-year-old girl in 1995. Last month, Tennessee tried to execute her, and she survived. Now the question is whether they get to try again. I want to go beyond the headlines and ask what God actually says about capital punishment, because forgiveness and…

The Algorithm Pays People to Hate. Gen Z Is Paying the Price. Ep 209
Why is Gen Z more politically extreme than ever? Is it what they believe, or what they’ve inherited? Today, we get into how the algorithm rewards attacking the other side, and why a generation that grew up through Covid and an economy they can’t get ahead in is reaching for radical solutions. But...

Protecting Your Heart Is Making You Lonelier. C.S. Lewis Saw It Coming. Ep 208
We’ve never been more connected, and we’ve never felt more alone. Why? I think C.S. Lewis put his finger on it decades ago: we want love without the risk. In this episode, I unpack what Lewis wrote in The Four Loves about the heart that’s locked away to keep it safe, and why the very thing we do…

The Cornell 7: Where Were the Good Men? Ep 207
Seven college men accused of assaulting one incapacitated young woman. A Snapchat message allegedly inviting more guys into the room. And I keep asking one question: where were the good men? Today I’m talking about the Cornell lawsuit, and the 1,000 pound elephant that the legal debate keeps...
-
Freedom From Marriage Isn't Freedom. It's Slavery. Ep 206
My son James picked today's topic: why is marriage becoming so unattractive to young people? In 1993, over half of Americans ages 25 to 29 were married. Today it's just 29%. We dig into the money pressure of homes costing four times a family's income, hookup culture, cohabitation going from 1 in...
-
Christians Treat God Like Amazon Prime. Are You One of Them? Ep 205
What if God never gives you the life you've been praying for? The marriage, the money, the healing, the happy family. Would He still be good to you? After 40 years of following Jesus, I've noticed something a lot of us Christians do without realizing it. We turn God into a delivery system, a kind...

Millie Bobby Brown Gets It. Adoption Is a Gift From God. Ep 204
Millie Bobby Brown just adopted her second child, and when I heard the news, I smiled. Adoption wasn't plan B for our family either. It was plan A. Chelsea was adopted, four of our six kids were adopted, and today I'm sharing what that journey taught me about the heart of God. From Moses in the...
-
I Found Something Better Than Ozempic. It's in Your Fridge. Ep 203
Why are millions of Americans taking a diabetes drug when they don't have diabetes? James picked this one for today's Dangerous Conversation, and roughly 1 in 9 adults are now on Ozempic or another GLP-1 just to lose weight. We dig into what these drugs actually do, and what happens when people...
-
You're Impressing the Wrong Audience. God Is Looking at Something Else. Ep 202
Are you trying to impress everybody? Your looks, your success, your resume? That's exhausting, and it's the wrong audience. Samuel was impressed by tall, kingly Eliab, but God chose the overlooked shepherd boy David. God looks straight at the heart. When you learn what God values, it changes how...
-
Is Satan Attacking You? Ask Yourself This First. Ep 201
Did the devil make you do it? Or was it your own heart? Spiritual warfare talk has been driving me a little crazy lately, so I've got a hot take. If Jesus crushed the serpent's head and holds ALL authority in heaven and on earth, how much does that leave for Satan? Christians sometimes talk like...
-
A Nazi Knocks on Your Door. Do You Tell the Truth? Ep 200
Is it ever okay for a Christian to lie? If a Nazi officer knocks on your door asking about the family hiding in your house, what do you say? James picked this one after a Christian book club insisted every lie is a sin, no exceptions. We dig into Rahab, the Hebrew midwives, Michal helping David...
-
Some Christians Lose Their Faith When Prayers Go Unanswered. Here's the Piece They're Missing. Ep 199
Have you ever prayed with everything in you, believed without a doubt, and then watched the answer go the other way? I've walked alongside people whose faith fell apart in that exact moment, and I think it's because we've been handed a definition of faith the Bible never actually gave us. In this...
-
Your Kids Trust AI Completely. That Should Terrify You. Ep 198
Is AI actually making us smarter, or is it quietly making us dumber? That's the question I couldn't shake this week. We've handed our kids machines that answer every question instantly, and we call them smart for knowing how to use them. But if a computer remembers, calculates, writes, and thinks...
-
Is Kathryn Krick a Real Apostle? Don't Believe Everything You See. Ep 197
Is Kathryn Krick a real apostle of God, or is she deceiving millions? That's the question my son James dropped in my lap, and I could not look away. He pulled together her whole story, from chasing an acting career in Hollywood to the viral "deliverance" videos casting out demons in front of...
-
Stop Trying to Pay God Back. That Was Never the Plan. Ep 196
If Jesus already did everything necessary to save you, why bother trying to be good anymore? Why fight sin so hard? Why forgive the person who hurt you? Why do the right thing when nobody's watching? Here's the beautiful answer. We don't obey God so that he will save us. We obey him because he...

Dolly Parton Has Died. Here's the Story Behind "I Will Always Love You" That Most People Never Heard Ep 195
The Queen of country music is gone. Dolly Parton passed away at 80, and I couldn't let the week end without honoring her, because her life holds a lesson every artist and dreamer needs to hear. Most people know "I Will Always Love You" as a love song, but Dolly wrote it as a goodbye to the man…

Your Kids Are Being Sold a Lie About Communism. Here's How to Reach Them. Ep 194
Something strange is happening in America. I'm actually starting to agree with Bill Maher. Communism gave the world bread lines, gulags, and the deaths of millions, and yet it's becoming attractive to young people all over again. Before we roll our eyes and say these kids just don't know history…

A Christian's Honest Look at Death, Fear, and What Comes Next Ep 193
If I'm honest with you, I don't want to die. I love this life. My wife, my kids, my work, that first cup of coffee and the sound of my rooster in the backyard. And yet I know there's a day on God's calendar with my name on it. Death has been on my heart lately. Losing people close to me has a way...
-
Hayden Panettiere Died at 36. Here's the Real Killer Behind These Tragedies. Ep 192
When I heard that Hayden Panettiere died at just 36, it stopped me in my tracks. I grew up in that same world, and I watched too many of my own friends get crushed by it. Corey Haim. River Phoenix. Andrew Koenig, who played my best friend Boner on Growing Pains. Different people, different...
-
$1.8 Trillion in Debt. Is a College Degree Even Worth It Anymore? Ep 191
Is college still worth it? That question would've sounded crazy to my parents and grandparents, who were all educators. And back in 1970, a degree really was the golden ticket. But the world has changed. This week James and I sit down for another dangerous conversation about the numbers that...
-
Will You Even Recognize Yourself in Heaven? Ep 190
What kind of body will you have in heaven? Will you eat, feel gravity, break a bone, or just float around like Casper the Friendly Ghost? In this devotional I turn to 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul answers with an acorn. You bury a little seed and up comes an oak tree, and that's you and the body…

The WNBA Can't Let These Two Men In. It Also Can't Explain Why Not. Ep 189
The WNBA may have just walked into one of the most spectacular ideological traps I have ever seen. Caitlin Clark brings unprecedented attention to women's basketball, and somehow she becomes the center of a culture war over race, privilege, and identity. Then her teammate Sophie Cunningham says…

Flock Cameras: Safety or Surveillance State? Ep 188
Right now, cameras you've probably never noticed are tracking where you go, who you see, and when you leave the house. They're called Flock cameras, and the promise is a reasonable one: they help police catch criminals and find missing children. And they do, but there is a far bigger conversation...
-
God Designed the Family First. We Keep Treating It Last. Ep 187
A celebrity welcomes her first baby at 50, another at 54, and the message is loud and clear: it's never too late, you can have it all. But the headlines rarely mention the IVF, donor eggs, and surrogacy behind those stories. Today I want to talk about God's design for family and why postponing it...
-
Taylor Swift Just Made History. Here's Why It Worries Me Ep 186
Taylor Swift just became the youngest person ever inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and honestly, it's a remarkable achievement. But it got me thinking about a warning from Jesus that ought to make all of us tremble: the difference between milestones and millstones. This isn't...
-
Honor vs. Respect: What the Bible Actually Says Ep 185
What is respect, really? Something we deserve, something we can demand, or something we have to earn? James brought this one to the table, and it became one of my favorite talks we have had in a while. The old Hebrew unlocked it for me. Honor is something we are called to give every person…

Nolan Didn't Tell Homer's Story. Here's What Hollywood Erased Ep 184
I just took my kids to see Christopher Nolan's Odyssey in IMAX, and it might be one of the biggest movies of the year and one of the biggest storytelling blunders of his career. Nolan didn't tell Homer's story. He stripped out the magic, swapped the heroes, and turned a tale about love and honor...
-
Should Christians Eat Meat? Genesis, Jesus, and Your Dinner Plate Ep 183
Should Christians eat meat, or go back to the Garden of Eden? Food has become a religion. Eat carnivore, you're wrecking your arteries. Go vegan, you're wrecking your hormones. So this week I ask a better question: was Eden's plant-based menu God's permanent plan, or just the start of the story?…

The Bible calls love a verb, not a feeling. Here's why that changes everything. Ep 182
We say "I love you" all the time, to friends, to family, to the people closest to us. But what do we actually mean when we say it? In this episode, James and I dig into one of the biggest, most-used, and most-misunderstood words there is. Is love a feeling you fall into and fall out of, or is it…

Fauci's Diary Exposed the Man Behind the Curtain Ep 181
Doctor Fauci was once treated like the very face of science, untouchable. Now his own diary notes are out, and I can't help but think of the man behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz. This week I dig into the gap between the image we project and the person we really are, and the God who sees…

Spider-Man Just Preached a Sermon. Three Lessons Hiding Behind the Mask. Ep 180
Spider-Man: Brand New Day might be the biggest Spider-Man movie in years, and it gave me a lot more than a fun night at the theater. Behind all the action (and a little personal pride, since my cousin Brett Pollock served as director of photography), I found three lessons hiding under the mask…

Bloopers, Foul-Ups & Outtakes: The Moments You Never Saw EP 179
By popular request, James and I are opening the vault on every blooper, foul-up, and outtake that never survived the final cut. Today, the moments we usually keep to ourselves are all yours. From an Obi-Wan impression that took an unexpected Scottish turn, to an ongoing struggle between the words...
-
Can You KNOW You're Going to Heaven? Ep 178
What's the most important question you'll ever answer? It might not be the one you'd expect. In this episode, I dig into something I've wrestled with for decades: can you actually know, for certain, that you'd be welcomed into heaven if you died tonight? Not hope so. Not maybe. I walk through how...
-
Why Everyone Is Suddenly a Narcissist Episode 177
What if the therapy language we hear every day is quietly training us to worship ourselves? In this episode I step into the space between pop psychology and biblical counseling and ask whether we can study the brain without surrendering the soul. We talk about why "your truth" makes a terrible...
-
You Can Hear the Truth and Still Miss It Ep 176
In this episode I dig into the parable of the sower, one of the most ordinary stories Jesus ever told and one of the most searching. Four soils, one seed, and a question I couldn't shake all week: which one am I? I get into why Jesus said some people were not meant to understand, why the thorny...
-
The Hidden Way We Blame God for Our Sin Ep 175
Have you ever blamed God without even realizing it? Not by shaking your fist at heaven, but by quietly thinking, "Lord, if you had just changed my circumstances, I wouldn't have done what I did." In this devotional I want to walk through what I've come to see as the most sophisticated form of...
-
Kirk Cameron Watches His Old Movies for the First Time in Decades Ep 174
Today, I'm reacting to old videos of me from across the decades. Growing Pains, Fireproof, Left Behind, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, Star Struck, Touched by an Angel, and the banana that made Ray Comfort famous for all the wrong reasons. I get into the trick my acting coach used to make me cry...
-
Are Men and Women Competing Instead of Completing Each Other? Ep 173
When did men and women stop being partners and start being competitors? James and I got into it today, and honestly, this one hit close to home. Our culture keeps handing women a scorecard that was designed for men. Career, income, resume, achievement. Chase it hard enough and you will be happy....
-
You're Not Free. Here's What's Actually Enslaving You Ep 172
What if the "freedom" our culture is selling is actually a prison? Everywhere you look, the message is the same: live for yourself, follow your heart, answer to no one. So why is everyone more anxious, more addicted, and more alone than ever? In this morning devotional, I dig into what the Bible...
-
Jesus Turned Water Into Wine. So Why Do We Treat Alcohol Like Poison? Ep 171

Why did Jesus have to die? Here's what most people miss about the cross. Ep 170
If God is all-powerful, why couldn't He just forgive us and skip the cross? Kirk and James dig into one of the most important questions in the Christian faith: why Jesus actually had to die. They break down the tension between God's justice and His mercy, why sin demands a real penalty, and how…

Toy Story 5 has a faith lesson every parent needs to hear. Ep 168
This one's for every family navigating tablets, screen time, and real friendship at home. I talk about why kids need people more than pixels, what boredom used to teach us before Wi-Fi took over, and how the best defense against screen addiction isn't stricter rules, it's a richer, more connected...
-
Fearing God doesn't push you away from Him. It's what pulls you toward Him. Ep 167
You were told to fear God. You were also told to love Him. And if you're honest, you never really understood how both could be true at the same time. Kirk sits down with his son James to unpack one of the most misunderstood commands in Scripture. James spent years brushing past the "fear God"…

Why Isn't the Book of Enoch in the Bible? The Answer Will Surprise You. Ep 166
How did we actually get the Bible? Was it cooked up in a smoke filled room by bishops in black robes, or is the Da Vinci Code right that Constantine and the Council of Nicaea just slapped it together? I'm answering that question head on today, and the real story is so much more powerful than the...
-
The UFC fight at the White House changed my mind about something. Ep 165
UFC in the White House. A terror plot. A championship fight on the South Lawn. Kirk reacts to the wildest patriotic spectacle in recent memory and asks a question most of us don't want to sit with: what does it mean to go all in? On everything. Your marriage. Your kids. Your faith. Your work.…

Babel or Basilica? What the World's Tallest Church Gets Right Ep 163
The tallest church in the world was just blessed by the Pope. So is it Babel, or is it worship? The Sagrada Familia took over 140 years to build. Its architect, Antoni Gaudi, intentionally kept it just below the height of a nearby hill because he believed human hands shouldn't reach higher than...
