John Luke's living room has literally collapsed, forcing him and his family to move back in with Willie and Korie while repairs get underway. Al stirs up a Robertson family feud with a food competition that leaves everyone choosing sides. The guys kick off their new Hillsdale College course, Western Heritage: From Genesis to John Locke and dig into the surprising differences between biblical and ancient pagan creation stories, Israel's disastrous demand for an earthly king and the biblical principles that helped shape America's founding. They also examine the dangers of concentrated power, the roots of human equality and why history keeps proving that mankind struggles to surrender control to God.
