Summary
Today I’m joined in studio by my friend Ken Ham for one of the most important conversations we’ve had in a long time. We talk about the rise of flat earth theories, biblical illiteracy in the church, why Genesis matters, and how generations of Christians have been discipled by the culture instead of the Word of God. We also dig into marriage, family leadership, and practical encouragement for parents who want to raise children who know and defend their faith. This is a bold conversation about truth, deception, and why the authority of Scripture still matters today.

I went to visit Answers in Genesis for the Answers for Women Conference, did my podcast from there. And I love this man. He's a national treasure and a real defender of the Word of God. We're going to talk about creation today. Dip our toes into the flat earth discussion because who doesn't want to do that? And basically just see where the Lord leads the conversation. |
