Episode: Satan Wants Your Kids—And He’s Got Them

The devil isn't running up and down the streets looking to kidnap your children anymore. He doesn't need to—because he found a way straight into their minds.

In this powerful episode of Hardcore Christianity, Brother Mike sounds an urgent alarm on the systematic onslaught targeting the hearts and minds of the next generation. Armed with startling data from the Institute for Family Studies, Brother Mike reveals how unfiltered technology, social media validation loops, and early exposure to a digital fantasy world are fracturing children's cognitive development and inviting spiritual warfare right into the home.

From the declining reading scores in 83% of American school districts to the tech billionaires who strictly keep devices away from their own children, this episode exposes the enemy's blueprint for mind control. But God has given parents a counter-strategy.

Brother Mike unpacks the essential biblical boundaries required to reclaim our children and protect their minds from demonic deception:

The Mandate of Early Training: Rediscover the foundational promise of Proverbs 22 to train up a child in the way he should go, ensuring a lifelong anchor in the truth.
Diligent Household Discipleship: Examine the command in Deuteronomy 6 for parents to keep God’s word burning in their own hearts first, teaching it diligently to their children through every daily routine.
The Danger of Passive Parenting: Unpack the stark warning in Proverbs 29 about the destructive nature of permissive, hands-off parenting and how a child left to themselves ultimately brings shame.
The Harvest of Righteous Discipline: Learn from Hebrews 12 how godly discipline, though painful in the moment, yields a beautiful harvest of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.
Spiritual Accountability for Fathers: Break down Ephesians 6 and the desperate need for fathers to stop provoking their children to anger, stepping up instead to lead them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
The Battleground of the Mind: Look closely at 2 Corinthians 4 to understand how the "god of this age" actively manipulates human thoughts (noema) to blind those who are perishing.

The culture has let our children down, and permissive parenting has opened the door to digital torment. If you are ready to break the cycle of escapism, shut out the noise of the world, and establish a fortress of scripture in your household, this message is your turning point.
