The Kirk Cameron Show

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 who gave her one of her biggest breaks. When Elvis later came calling and his manager demanded half the publishing rights, she said no. It broke her heart, but she wouldn't surrender what God had given her, and years later Whitney Houston turned that same song into one of the greatest vocal performances in history. Dirt poor in the Smoky Mountains, nearly 60 years married to one man, faithful to the end. Her story is a powerful reminder to steward the gift He's placed in your hands.

Rest in peace, Dolly. We will always love you.

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, I want to ask a better question: why are they still reaching for it? In this episode I dig into what young people are really longing for, why the promises of socialism sound so compassionate, and why Christianity offers something far better than either greedy capitalism or government confiscation.

Here's the heart of it: communism tries to build a better society by redistributing possessions, but God builds a better people by transforming hearts. Nobody has to seize a Christian's property to make him generous. I'll leave you with one action step to try with a young person in your life this week. Give it a listen, and God bless you.

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 of bringing it into focus, and it drove me back to my Bible with a hard question: how should a Christian actually think about death? What I found may have been the thing I had wrong my whole life.

Thanks for letting me share this one. Subscribe, and drop your question in the comments for a future show. God bless you.

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 families, but the same devastating pattern.

In this episode I want to talk about what I believe is really behind so many of these tragedies: the loss of childhood, and why protecting it may matter more than almost anything else.

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 stopped us both cold, the lie young people are being sold, and why so many of the most successful folks never finished college. Grab a seat and drop your take in the comments.
