Hearth and Homeland Podcast

Building Strong Families in Modern Babylon

Families and churches have a crucial role in countering the cultural softness of our modern Babylon by prioritizing discipleship, establishing our children on the firm foundation of Scripture, and cultivating spiritual discernment. It is incumbent on us to prepare the next generation to live faithfully in a culture that increasingly hostile to biblical truth, much like Daniel and his companions in Babylon. Rather than withdrawing from the culture, Wil and Meeke Addison encourage Christian parents to train their children to go out and engage society in the strength of the Lord.

Biblical Worldview: The Key to True Liberty

A biblical worldview is essential for understanding true liberty – not as the world defines it, but as God does. Only the Christian worldview makes coherent sense of this and all other matters, but getting that right perspective requires humility before the Lord. Israel Wayne presents sound, scriptural wisdom that will help you understand the connection between worldview and freedom, and he also shares some practical advice on discipling your children in the truth.

Thriving Faith in a World of Compromise

Our nation appears to be on the brink of moral bankruptcy. We see a rapid decline in morality, faith, and mutual respect, coupled with an increase in perversion, crime, and violence. One doesn’t have to look far into our past to see that the trend of our nation is moving toward a serious cultural and spiritual demise. The music, books, movies, internet, and television are key indicators. Chuck is a former military officer who swore to defend this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic, and it's painful for him to watch what was once a “nation under God” become a nation that is speedily rejecting God. This puts the followers of Jesus in quite a dilemma… how, then, do we as believers in Jesus Christ live a life of faith in such a compromised world? Listen to Chuck as he shares four fundamental truths to help guide us through the chaos.
