Sons of Issachar

In this episode of Sons of Issachar, Bill and Scott are joined once again by special guest Ainsley Lockwood as they continue their vital discussion on discipline in the home — and why it truly is the backbone of order in families, churches, schools, and society.

When discipline is removed, chaos quickly follows. The hosts examine how the absence of structure, correction, and accountability in many homes has contributed to the breakdown of respect and responsibility now visible in classrooms and public life. More importantly, they turn to Scripture to remind listeners that discipline is not about ha...

In this follow-up conversation, Bill and Scott welcome back special guest Ainsley Lockwood as they dive deeper into the troubling trends we’re witnessing in today’s young people. Why is doing the right thing becoming so rare? What cultural, parental, and spiritual breakdowns are feeding the crisis? And what can Christian families do to reverse the tide?

Together, they unpack the erosion of personal responsibility, the pressure to conform to destructive cultural norms, and the growing absence of moral anchors in the lives of children and teens. More importantly, they highlight the biblical answers that still work...

Season 2 begins with a critical and timely discussion: the breakdown of discipline in today’s homes — and in many cases, even Christian homes. Bill, Scott, and guest Ainsley Lockwood take an honest look at why we’re seeing such shocking behavior in public schools and classrooms, and how so much of it traces back to the home.

This episode calls parents, especially fathers, to reclaim their God-given role as leaders, teachers, and disciplers. Discipline isn’t harshness — it’s love, structure, and shaping a child for righteousness. Without it, integrity crumbles and chaos fills its place.

There’s a growing accusation that Christian involvement in government equals “Christian nationalism.” In the Sons of Issachar Season 1 finale, Bill and Scott set the record straight — explaining from Scripture why engaging in civic life isn’t nationalism, it’s obedience.

In this final episode of Sons of Issachar Season 1 — Our Christian Nation — Bill and Scott wrap up the series by confronting a growing misunderstanding in the modern Church: that Christians who care about their nation or engage politically are “Christian nationalists.”

The hosts walk through Scripture and history to show that biblical citizenship...

There’s a lot of talk about “Christian nationalism” — but much of it is confused, misused, and misunderstood. In this episode, Bill and Scott address how this topic has been misrepresented and misapplied within the Lord’s Church, and what Scripture actually says about the Christian’s relationship to both nation and Kingdom.

Is it wrong for believers to love their country? Where does patriotism end and idolatry begin? And why are so many in the Church quick to label biblical conviction as “nationalism”? 

With biblical clarity and pastoral concern, the host...

In this special episode of Sons of Issachar, Bill and Scott take a closer look at the spiritual movement stirring on college campuses and across the nation. Is it true revival — or just a moment of emotional excitement?

Revival is more than tears and music; it’s transformation rooted in repentance, obedience, and truth. The hosts challenge listeners to examine where our passion is directed: toward Christ and His Word, or toward an experience that fades when the feelings do.

📖 In this episode:
• How to discern genuine revival from emotional enthusiasm
• Why biblical truth must...

Recent events, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the stabbing death of Iryna Zarutska, and a shooting at a Catholic elementary school, highlight the urgent need for Christians to stand up and fight for what is right. As advocates for truth and righteousness, it is our duty to confront injustice and protect our values in the face of adversity.

Charlie Kirk exemplified this commitment by using his voice to champion conservative principles and promote moral accountability. Christians must follow his example, not retreating in the face of hostility but boldly defending our beliefs and...
