Generations Radio: Recent Episodes
Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan are the biggest things out there – platforms built on idle curiosity and incoherent skepticism. The imaginations of the masses are captured by meandering topics, aimless digressions, and fourth-grade language. Meanwhile, biblical illiteracy and moral confusion are rampant, even in the church. Kevin talks with Bill about how this generation is the first to consistently live out relativism…what the results are…and what our agenda must be, if we want to relay firm foundations.
1 in 40 babies are now born through IVF – 96,000 per year. To achieve this, nearly 4 million embryos were created. With 12 million IVF babies since 1978, there are now nearly half a BILLION embryos who will never see the light of day. Is the chance to have one child worth the lives of so many others? Kevin speaks with Josh Holler, author of "Misconceiving IVF: An Essential Guide to the Perils of In-Vitro Fertilization."
Is it still possible to pay off a house before you're 30? If so, how can we support our children toward this goal? The dads talk about how young men they know have achieved this – and what biblical principles laid the foundation. They discuss the connection between obedience and diligence…whether childhood is for playing…focusing on productive skills like carpentry, rather than football…and ultimately, seeing our work as participation in God's own building.
A communist Muslim wins a U.S. Senate primary in Michigan. A Muslim communist becomes mayor of New York City. Both regions are majority Christian on paper. Bill Jack joins Kevin to talk about why apostate nations open the door to Islam and Marxism…the biblical pattern of locusts devouring an unfaithful land…how Dearborn, Michigan became America's first Sharia stronghold…and why only revival, not politics, can rebuild what's been dynamited.
It's common for older children to have rocky relationships with their parents. So how can you work at restoring these – especially when the gap seems to widen every time you talk? Kevin and Joshua discuss what makes the biggest difference…the place of the church…a few things that make things worse rather than better, and how to proactively prevent conflict. What does lived experience reveal…and what does the Bible say?
Forest fires are sweeping California, Washington, Colorado and Oregon. Coincidentally, these states are very high on the Generations "evil index" of abortion liberalism and sexual perversion…and the worst for church attendance. Similar things are happening in France and Spain. Should we attribute these disasters to specific judgments for specific sins? Kevin and Bill talk about how God works in history, and what it would take to stop the trajectory toward destruction in Europe and America.
What do you do if your little boy comes downstairs wearing his sister's dress, and says he wants to be a girl? Kevin talks to Aaron Boldman from HelpMyBoy.com about effeminacy, and helping boys to ground their mindset and feelings in God's reality. They discuss the difference between body envy and lust…the power of nurture over nature in our present culture…and how dads can disciple boys to live out their sexuality in honor of God.
Many men compulsively side with women, whether they're right or wrong. But we should be more jealous for God's honor than women's, and more fearful of what He thinks. The dads talk about the white knight mentality, and ask: don't women deserve special honor? How biblical is "happy wife, happy life?" Can you really keep the peace without obedience to the gospel of peace? And what should you do if there's a tug-of-war for control in your marriage?
James Dobson. John MacArthur. Phil Robertson. Voddie Baucham. Charlie Kirk. The prophets are gone, but their voices still echo. Kevin and Danny mark one year since these five godly leaders passed away. They revisit the urgent, biblical case made by each of them - to pull the children out of the godless public schools before it's too late. Will the church listen to their voices?
Is settling Mars a biblical idea? Does God want us building colonies on other planets? Kevin, Josh, and Danny investigate the secular and humanistic motives behind space exploration, and what exactly Scripture says we are given dominion over. Then they switch to uncovering the truth about UFOs – and the scriptural, historical, and current evidence that they are spiritual, not physical.
We know that state schools teach humanism. "Man is God." Transgenderism is the natural fruit of that religion. But it's just the high schools…right? There's no Nietzsche in 1st grade. Kindergartens don't have transgender bathrooms. So aren't state grade schools safe? Kevin and Danny answer with the first five questions of the children's catechism, contrasting these with what kids learn in grade school – things like "Follow your heart," and, "You can be whatever you want to be…"
The government's debt ratio of 135%, but the average American household is hilted up 350%. Inflation is going crazy no matter who we put in office. If we want change, we're going to have to return to God's economic ways as families and churches. Kevin talks to Rory Groves about taking your finances back into your own hands…how they have implemented biblical economies in their homes…and the sacrifices and mindset adjustments it requires.
We are to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord – but what are the basics of doing this? The dads talk about their own practices: the place of family worship…what they've learned about sanctification taking place in daily activities…which books of the Bible they focus on most…how to instill doctrine systematically while keeping it relevant to life…helping kids deal with opposing worldviews…and making the home safe for questioning.
Germany didn't become Nazi Germany overnight. Prussia decriminalized sodomy in the 1700s. The universities became seedbeds of Marxism, textual criticism, and Nietzschean nihilism throughout the 1800s. The Weimar Republic decriminalized abortion in 1927. Kevin Swanson traces this long apostasy and explains why National Socialism was the rotten fruit of a nation that had long abandoned Jesus Christ. Kevin is joined by Jacob Tanner to address why Nazism was so evil...regardless of the narrative.
Kevin and Josh investigate the biblical right and responsibility of bearing arms to preserve the lives of those we care for. They talk about how the great missionary John G. Paton used a gun (without ever killing anyone)…when "shoot first and ask questions later" is biblically appropriate…when we stray into risking blood guiltiness…plus, what the founding fathers meant by a "militia," biblical examples of the people taking up arms, and the limits of such resistance.
A new survey reveals that 39% of Americans still hold to biblical creation — down from 47% just 15 years ago. Kevin and Bill discuss the fact that 99% of PhD scientists and 99% of college classrooms are united against the Genesis account. The apostasy of geology has a history...and that has played out in the courtroom battles over creation in the public schools.
For the first time, Brazilian parents are getting prison time for homeschooling…families in the Netherlands are receiving "return to school" orders…and homeschool freedoms are unraveling in CT and NE with new restrictions being rolled out. Kevin speaks with Kevin Boden, attorney for the Home School Legal Defense Association, about the national and international situation, what it means, and what homeschoolers must do to keep the freedom to teach their kids.
Scripture treats complaining and ingratitude with immense gravity. But how do we teach a whiny six year old about the eternal ramifications of discontentment? The dads talk about modeling gratitude and joyfulness, rather than self-pity and criticism…some of the biggest causes of ingratitude and grumbling in a family…how to lovingly and consistently correct complaining…and the strategies that have helped them the most to create a thankful spirit in their homes.
When the media calls homeschooling "weird," Kevin and Danny say: guilty as charged. They discuss why loving your children, rejecting state indoctrination, and building on a biblical worldview looks strange to a culture that can't even answer basic biological questions...which worldview actually produces critical thinkers...and why God's bar for "successful" is so much different than the world's.
What does Scripture say about burning vs. burial? Cremation has gone from 0.01 percent in 1900 to 63 percent in 2026. At the same time, pagan practices like tattoos and piercings have exploded in popularity also. Does how we treat the body matter – and if not, what's wrong with cannibalism? Does destroying the image of God in fire communicate something, vs. planting it in the ground? And how does the resurrection factor in?
John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress features a man who has lost all hope of salvation, but he is alive and well in the lyrics of the most popular Christian song ever made. Kevin is joined by Danny to ask: what does it mean when billions identify with despair rather than resurrection? And what does Scripture say music is actually for?
A Christian heritage has led many people to incredible wealth...although most of them end up apostatizing. Now, Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire...but was his wealth obtained as honestly as we think? Spoiler alert....Mars isn't going to be successfully, sustainably populated anytime soon. Sam Rust joins Kevin to discuss wealth, the Christian heritage that is often behind it, and the things that matter most for building (and keeping) it.
Women offer their bodies as living sacrifices to bring forth children. Being pregnant doesn't give them a pass to sin – but it does require an extra measure of grace. How can we provide this, and minister to their weakness in an understanding way? The dads talk about preparing for childbirth emotionally, spiritually, and physically…taking hormonal changes and depression seriously…being steady without being detached…and nurturing your wife with the help of God's Word.
Smartphones are disrupting kids' relationships, depersonalizing sexuality, drawing away their affections, and influencing their beliefs – but we can't very well ask our elders how they dealt with these problems in their day. Kevin talks with Phillip Telfer, author of "Help! The Smartphone Ate My Family" about surviving the digital age as a parent. They discuss the importance of guardrails, rules, awareness, conversations, and escape routes…and the methods Phillip himself has used to keep his kids safe.
The kingdom of God begins in a garden, while cities are depicted as centers and symbols of rebellion and pride. The first city is built by Cain, succeeded by Babel, Sodom, Nineveh, even Jerusalem. Yet God calls us to seek the peace of the cities we live in…and He himself has a city, the New Jerusalem. With many Christians fleeing America's big cities, Kevin and Josh search the Scriptures to ask: are they right?
30% of Americans dabble in the occult. 30% of Gen-Z women are on the LGBT spectrum. Only 36 women now attend church for every 43 men—a total flip from 20 years ago. What is happening? Kevin talks with Sam Rust about the link between our cultural moment and the baalism of ancient Israel…how the suffragettes were motivated by Satanism…why modern women are so unhappy…and how Christian men can personally help draw women back to the faith.

For this special edition celebrating America's 250th birthday, Kevin is joined once again by George Grant. They discuss the defining moments and defining faith behind America's founding, as well as tje thread of reformed Christian conviction that modern historians want to erase. Finally, they make the case that the Christian heritage isn't gone yet...the deeper the roots, the harder they die.
Is America salvageable, or are we headed the way of post-Christian England? Pluralism promises to accommodate every religion, but every government is built on somebody's law, and it's either God's law or man's tyranny. As England's outgoing prime minister brags about the "gayest parliament in the world", Kevin and Danny discuss the effects of pluralism on American culture, and how God's law is the only foundation that can maximize liberty, restrain tyranny, and salvage a nation.
In this follow-up to last week's program about navigating spritual crises of faith, the dads talk about what to do when your child has already abandoned the faith. They discuss how this is one of the most painful trials a Christian can face...what loving the apostate child looks like...and why a father's trust in God may speak louder than anything else.
Will our kids be ready to carry the nation forward? Recorded live with listener questions, this episode digs into calling, gifting, and stewardship as the real measures of political readiness, why "rights" language falls short of biblical authority, and how families and churches, not politicians, are still the real engine of cultural change.
The numbers don't lie: denominations that ordained women first lost their members fastest, with the PC (U.S.A.) on track for a 95% decline by 2050. The SBC and PCA both voted this year to shut down women pastors and deacons — but will it be enough? Kevin is joined by Danny to ask what will actually survive this civilizational unraveling, and what it looks like to raise cornerstone daughters who are ready for it.
Senate nominee James Talarico (a self-proclaimed Christian) is very worried about Americans wanting to return to our Christian foundations. Kevin speaks with Sam Rust to trace where "Christians" like Talarico came from, who manage to turn every issue into one where the anti-Christian position is blessed by God. They discuss nationalism as an ideology…what "Christian Nationalism" really means when you cut through the disagreements…and what really matters for individuals to help restore our Christian foundations.
There's no greater joy to see your kids walking in the truth; no greater sorrow to see them abandon it. Yet 66% of 20 year olds will abandon the churches of their teen years. What contributes to this? What can dads do to prevent it? What are the safety nets we can put in place…how can we cultivate openness in our kids…how can we set boundaries and avoid bad influences…how do we effectively nurture and disciple?

What are the safety nets we can put in place…how can we cultivate openness in our kids…how can we set boundaries and avoid bad influences…how do we effectively nurture and disciple?
Should we find entertainment in the injury of others? Kevin and Joshua discuss the recent UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, noting the similarity to gladiatorial games. They ask what our forefathers said about this, and whether there is a connection between gladiators, body-piercing, and even child sacrifice. Then they go to scripture to ask if we must respect the body as part the image of God, and whether we can delight in violence.
Why has fantasy gone from a niche genre to nearly every blockbuster movie in theaters? Is this a coincednece, or an escape ramp from the reality of God, sin, and judgment? Kevin is joined by Danny Craig to trace that escapism straight into the young adult section of the local library. They test Gandalf, Radagast, and Madeleine L'Engle's witches against Scripture's standard for the true source of power, then offer six criteria for choosing books that point kids back to God instead of away from Him.
Homeschooling is often treated as mom's department, but what does God's Word actually say? The dads ask the question: can you give 20 minutes a day to open God's Word with your kids? Will you ask your wife what she actually needs and follow through with it? Education is a massive task; don't leave your wife to do it alone.
A YouTuber with millions of followers aborts his unborn son after a Down syndrome diagnosis and draws 15,000 angry comments for it. Kevin and Danny ask the question...what is the difference between aborting a baby in the first trimester and aborting a baby in the fourth trimester? They discuss the self-worshipping roots of both abortion and pornography...as well as the coming collapse of Social Security.
What are the marks of a true revival? Enormous amounts of people baptized on the same day? Kevin and Josh tackle a listener question on what to make of the cool, tattooed mega-church pastor who's drawing crowds and emptying small congregations. They turn to Acts 2 and church history to ask what real revival actually looks like.
With national debt at 124% of GDP and the stock market overpriced by historic measures, Kevin is joined by Rory Groves to discuss the coming economic earthquake of 2027-2028. They compare today's debt-to-GDP ratios with Larry Burkett's 1991 warnings...lay out a biblical vision for rebuilding family economy...and exhort every family to have a vision and mission beyond the paycheck.
The data is in, and it reads like a commentary on Deuteronomy 6. A major new study covered by Fox News found that children raised in homes where faith was discussed several times a week, where both parents attended church, and where fathers built strong bonds with their children were substantially more likely to remain faithful as adults. Kevin and Danny discuss the findings...and make the case that the means God has always ordained for generational faith is not the Sunday school or the youth group...but the home.
When in-laws criticize and undermine your parenting choices, what do you do? When trying to reason together just creates contention, how should you respond? When a mother-in-law shows interest in only the grandchildren she likes and ignores the others, what is the right course? The dads discuss biblical strategies, and assess cutting off contact…whether "boundaries" are biblical…what the role of the church is…and a smart tactic for honoring bad in-laws.
The latest Gallup poll shows 9% of U.S. adults now identify as LGBTQ, which is almost triple the 3.7% recorded in 2014. But here's what the same poll also shows: public support for homosexuality has dropped from 71% to 65% in just two to three years, with Republican support cratering from 55% to 37%. Is the pride phenomenon finally running out of steam? Kevin is joined by Sam Rust to discuss this shift today.
People are leaving evangelical churches and flocking to Eastern Orthodoxy in search of something ancient, serious, and reverent. But is trading one set of forms for really the answer? Kevin and Josh weigh the claims of Orthodoxy against the Word of God — and find that the apostles say nothing about icons, prayers to saints, or the mystical epistemology at the heart of Orthodox theology.
A new report reveals that American children are the unhealthiest in the world, both mentally and physically. Kevin and Danny discuss disease, lack of exercise, and overeating…along with sin, chronic anxiety, and the renewal of the mind. They ask if ADHD is real, or just a combination of family chaos, distraction, and self-control problems—and they share powerful stories of the role of the Holy Spirit in the healing of seemingly insurmountable conditions.
What made America different from France, Russia, or Germany in the 18th century? Was it mere geography or politics, or something deeper? Kevin is joined by Tim Barton and Alex Newman for a conversation about the Christian foundations that shaped the nation's founding, and asking whether there is still hope for a people who drifted far away from these roots.
The dads discuss fiery trials, and what has God taught them through these. They talk about long-term grinding down vs sudden crushing…the value of being forced to wait on the promises of God…how responding to bad news without complaint powerfully proves the faith to your kids…and the great balm of the psalms for the pain of asking, "Is God being good to me right now?"
Should Christians vote Republican no matter what…even for adulterers or homosexuals? Kevin and Bill discuss God's requirements for magistrates, and how Christians must vote in light of these. They discuss having your eyes on the end of the land without knowing what's happening in your own back yard…the unimportance of presidential elections…specific examples of how Christians can influence politics…and two critical questions to ask any candidate running for office.
Kevin and Josh speak to a hard question from a listener whose husband is an alcoholic and won't work. In such a situation, where the family is suffering greatly, does there come a point where divorce is permissible? They go to Exodus 21 and 1 Corinthians 7 to define abandonment…discuss the difference between separation and divorce…speak to the obligations of the local church…and counsel on when you should involve the magistrate and secular courts.
Kevin speaks with Ray Simmons about his new book, Confessional County: Realizing the Kingdom Through Localized Christendom. They discuss the potential of America's political structure for creating decentralized islands of freedom…an actionable 20-year vision for covenanted Christian counties…how to overcome the obstacle of ingrained public schools…training men to be civil leaders…why geographical land curses aren't just an Old Testament thing…and why America is definitely under one.
Kevin speaks with the chief attorney for Heritage Defense about Child Protective Services. They discuss three things CPS will always want to do (and how to safely respond)…why criminal defendants in court have more constitutional rights than parents do with CPS…the best time in an investigation to call an attorney…the shocking statistics around how likely you are to be investigated (and how to lower them)…and the surprising person most likely to report you.
The dads discuss sheltering kids from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—while still living in the world. They ask whether you can ever over-protect your kids, talking about how to help them discern good from bad…the value of family-integrated entertainment…trying to achieve holiness by subtraction rather than encouraging good appetites…and swimming with your kids instead of throwing them in the deep end.
Artificial Intelligence is here, and it doesn't seem to be going away. Kevin sits down with Pastors Peter Allison and Steve Walker to discuss the potential benefits of AI, the biggests risks, and the certainty that the world has abandoned the fear of God as the beginning of wisdom.
Should parents keep their children in the main service, or send them to children's church? What does the Bible actually say about Sunday schools and youth groups? Are these programs helping or replacing parental discipleship? Kevin and Josh take live listener questions on church and family relations, from female guest preachers to small churches with no other families.
With the Pentagon releasing new blurry photos of UAPs, congressional hearings being convened, and 48 percent of Americans believing that aliens have probably visited Earth, Kevin and Bill go to the Law and the Testimony to find answers. Is seeing really believing…or is it more like believing is seeing? Why do these phenomena "perform" in response to witnesses' desires? Are scientific materialists becoming scientific occultists? And how should Christians respond?
The $2 billion CCM industry is now 80% owned by a single secular company. But why do secularists want to own Christian music production…and why are Christians allowing it? Kevin and Bill discuss the power of media to capture hearts…ask what they will be captured to if the media itself is captured by secularists…and debate how much we should fight within a corrupt system, versus abandon it to create something new.
Comparison parenting is everywhere — in the pew, the homeschool co-op, and your own head. The dads dig into why we compare spouses, children, and churches…how comparison reveals that we doubt the sufficiency of God's grace…the danger of setting expectations your family can't meet…and how to point your wife and children to the acceptance they already have in Christ.
The Supreme Court just ruled to allow abortion pills to be shipped across state lines. No doubt about it, this is the worst ruling since Roe v. Wade. Every Trump appointee buckled. Only Thomas and Alito dissented. Abortion rates have climbed 19% since Dobbs, and the silence from the conservative church and media is deafening. Where does pro-life America go from here?
"Gosh, darn, heck, OMG"—many of our Christian forebears came to faith by being convicted of such language; yet today it is a light thing for most evangelicals. What do these words really mean, and how seriously should we take them? Kevin and Joshua go to Scripture to ask how much God cares about such language, and whether it is defiling or neutral.
Was Cole Tomas Allen's assassination attempt motivated by anti-Christian sentiment? His manifesto says otherwise. A member for 31 years in an evangelical church, he tries to justify himself from Scripture. But how did he receive so little grounding in a biblical worldview? Kevin and Bill discuss the church's failure to teach the law of Christ, the ecclesiastical call to compromise—and what should be done with Allen in a biblically sound church.
Pete Hegseth recently prayed at the Pentagon, embellishing Ezekiel 25:17 with the words of Quentin Tarantino—and putting America's armed forces in the place of God Himself. Kevin speaks with Jacob Tanner about the propriety of imprecatory prayers…why the government no longer decrees days of humiliation…the reasons Americans are so proud…the pattern of calamity and restoration in our history…and what must happen to avert God's judgment.
What if your wife feels like you're not prioritizing your family enough compared to your work—especially ministry work? The dads answer a listener question about balancing the needs of your family with the needs of the body. They discuss how your wife and children share in your calling…integrating family economy with ministry work to establish a symbiosis…being discerning about the real importance of common family activities…and how to know when you're working too much.
Kevin and Bill discuss the shockingly shallow worldview judgments of evangelicals—whether it's their strange approval of the happy shiny Mormon Jesus, or their enthusiastic endorsement of Project Hail Mary as having a "very strong Christian worldview." They talk about distinguishing between superficial criteria like being child-friendly, and deeper doctrines like humanistic utilitarianism or evolutionary assumptions. Then they ask if Ryan Gosling's character is really a hero—and what the film's central message really is.
Can you be a Christian and skip church? Kevin and Josh take that question straight to Scripture, examining Hebrews 10, Acts 2, and Ephesians 4 to show that the New Testament never envisions a believer disconnected from a local, gathered body. Far from a burden, the church is one of God's greatest gifts...a greenhouse where his people are protected, nourished, and grown.
Israel is behind the biggest LGBTQ festival in the Middle East, and Taiwan and Ukraine also uphold sexual perversion. Meanwhile their Eastern enemies—Iran, China, and Russia—all ban them. So whose side should we be on? Where will God's judgment come first? And is there a window of opportunity to save the West? Kevin and Bill discuss recent poll data of zoomers, and lay out a path for what the church must do.
Seventy-five percent of Swiss young people skip college — and their youth unemployment rate is 3%. Meanwhile, America's young men are struggling to launch. Kevin is joined by Jonathan Brush, president of Unbound, to talk about the discipleship model Jesus demonstrated and why it still works.
The dads talk about happy marriages, and how to build them. They discuss unity of vision (rather than division that kids can exploit)…what's more important than being "compatible"…why men don't pray with their wives…public displays of affection…how to handle disagreements (especially in front of the kids)…delighting in each other (rather than just getting things done together)…and the number one thing to do for your wife.
Nebraska just passed unprecedented restrictions on homeschooling, thanks to efforts by the "Coalition for Responsible Home Education." These overbearing "preventive measures" were enacted through emotional reasoning about an "abuse" problem that doesn't exist. But if it worked in the 17th most conservative state, we'll be seeing similar laws appear in the 33 less conservative ones. Kevin and Danny break it all down, and give practical steps for fighting against such laws in your own state.
Jesus said go and disciple the nations. But what does that look like when you are working for a woke company, sitting in a classroom, or watching Christian influence roll back in real time? Kevin and Josh walk through the biblical case for cultural transformation, why it starts with regeneration and not legislation, and what faithfulness looks like even when you cannot see the results.
Kevin and Bill discuss the $200 billion IVF industry—starting with news of a surrogate mother required to abort because the baby was missing two fingers. They talk about the 7:20 abortion rate…how selling baby parts naturally led to selling babies…the incredible number of children destroyed or put on ice through IVF…and how a third of surrogacy babies are trafficked to homosexual couples, where rates of sexual abuse are 3–4× higher.
Kevin speaks to Joe Boot about his new book, Think Christianly. They discuss the fatal error of politics as a realm governed purely by natural reason, without the need for special revelation…how the "privatizing" of God's Word to family and church brought forth secularism…the nature of the church as a fundamentally political institution…and how to apply Christ's rule to politics.
Lying, anger, laziness, lust — family is a beautiful opportunity for gospel life! The panel discusses how to remain hopeful even when kids keep committing the same sins…how to confront and disciple them after the 76th time they're caught…what to expect in terms of breakthroughs…how much mom should deal with ongoing sin…and the place of guilt, shame, and the gospel.
We're facing a seven-year drought worse than the dust-bowl days of the Great Depression. Is this related to our embrace of homosexual "marriage" and increased support for abortion? When Trump recently read 2 Chronicles 7, he called Americans to humble themselves before God, that he may heal our land. But will anyone heed this call…including Trump himself? And if judgment begins with the household of God, what does this mean for the church?
Should adult daughters pursue careers outside the home, or prioritize the household? Kevin and Josh examine Proverbs 31, Titus 2, and the biblical pattern of the family economy, asking whether modern work structures have pulled women away from their primary sphere of influence.
American support for Israel has plummeted in the past three years, especially in the younger generation. Kevin and Bill talk about what is going on in the mind of Americans…the drop-off of white evangelicalism…backpedaling in dispensationalism…how the memory of the Nazis is fading…how 9/11 was the greatest PR move FOR Islam in American history…and whether the US should "stand with Israel."
Kevin talks with Eric Ludy about the chief attributes of manhood as revealed in the character of Jesus — along with how we can build resilience to face the challenges of manhood on a habitual basis…how answering this question changes the world…how we can raise our sons to go beyond us…and how men can take hold of grace to govern their sexuality and live like Christ.
The greatest crisis in our time may not be political or economic, but rather generational. The faith once passed carefully from father to son is now often neglected within a single generation. In this episode, the dads discuss how to recover a biblical vision for continuity: fathers and grandfathers taking responsibility to declare the works of God, cultivate humility, and invest intentionally in the spiritual lives of their children and grandchildren.
In Canada, more humans than dogs are being euthanized — and it's not even close. Now liberals are on the verge of controlling their parliament, and a majority of MPs have voted to criminalize quoting Scripture's teaching on sexuality. But they are hardly alone. Kevin and Bill discuss the state of the West…Colorado's liberal shift into one of the most evil states in America…and how Christians should push back through civil disobedience.
Should Christians support foreign wars in places like the Middle East, or refuse them? Kevin and Josh examine just war theory, civil authority, and whether Christian families should support their sons fighting in foreign conflicts. Who bears the responsibility for determining a just war—the magistrate or the individual conscience?
Is education about information—or formation? Kevin and Danny return to a conversation on Greek vs biblical education and the aberrant views of knowledge that have led to apostasy in the West. What shapes a child more: Aristotle or the Word of God? Should schooling aim at intellectual excellence, or at discipleship that engages the head, heart, and hands? And in the end, what are the biblical principles and standards for raising well-educated children?
Is education about information—or formation? Kevin Swanson and Danny Craig return to a growing conversation on classical vs biblical education. What shapes a child more: Aristotle or the Word of God? Should schooling aim at intellectual excellence, or at discipleship that engages the head, heart, and hands? And in the end, who do we trust to form the next generation?
He who troubles his house shall inherit the wind — so a workaholic is no better than a sluggard. The panel discusses keeping it between these ditches: breaking a control-freak mindset…three warning signs of burnout…examples of how to reduce high stress levels…what it looks like to apply the Sabbath principle every Sunday…and ultimately entering the rest of the Lord, and exemplifying that rest to our children.
Kevin talks with Jed Coppenger about 10 traps of an inauthentic faith. They discuss spotting those hypocrisies which don't fit our pet molds…questions to ask ourselves to flush out hypocrisy in our own lives…how to spot when we're majoring on the minors (and minoring on the majors)…what to do when church leaders are exposed as fakes…and when being active for Jesus is a way to avoid being intimate with Him.
Kevin and Josh take on a listener's question about racial comfort and church choice. They talk about the two equal and opposite ditches of the woke church and the racist church…how the gospel is the only force powerful enough to dissolve ethnic enmity…what Ephesians 2:14 and Revelation 7:9 say about the unity Christ purchased……and how being an A-to-Z discipleship church is essential to crossing cultural boundaries.
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation pro-homosexual "Corporate Equality Index" was down from 377 to 131 companies this year. What role did Trump's "bully pulpit" play — and is it affecting the bastions of humanism in Hollywood and the universities? Is it turning around the NFL's persecution of Christian players who won't bow to the idol of LGBTQ? When Persia, Greece, and Rome fell, the last step before the pit was homosexuality. Will America be any different?
Kevin talks to James Baird about his new book, King of Kings. They discuss the myth that Christ's kingdom is exclusively spiritual…how people mistake His patience with rebellious states for absence…what "Christ is Lord" actually implies for our doctrine of government…how this ties into Christian Nationalism and "public spirit"…and the three historical principles of rulership that a Christian representative can use to help reform politics today.
What is the relationship between family and church — and how important should church be in the family's priorities? If the church itself is a family, how does the natural family fit into it…without getting erased? How much should Sunday revolve around church (and the rest of the week)? What are the ways dad should be engaging at church — and how can every member of the household find a place and get involved?
Iran is a key nation in the world today; the largest and strongest in the middle East. Kevin speaks with pastor Pooyan Mehrshahi to understand what is happening spiritually in Iran. They discuss how the Ayatollahs disillusioned the Iranians from Islam…the dangers this exposes them to as they grope for a replacement…the extent of Christian persecution and martyrdom…how the Bible is being spread throughout Iran…and what the nation needs most.
Kevin and Josh tackle a question about the place of emotions in the life of the Christian. They talk about how our emotions relate to our affections…three biblical foundations that root our emotional expressions…what proper emotion in worship should look like…whether we are responsible for what we feel…the biblical means for training our emotions…and whether the modern idea of triggering is just emotional manipulation.
Doug Wilson's video about why not to homeschool has 25,000 views in 6 months. But is he right? Kevin and Danny discuss what we are raising our children to be — and whether classical schooling gets there. Can Aristotle teach us to debate better than Peter? Is academics the chief focus — or just a fraction of full-orbed discipleship and dominion? Can the trivium produce worshipers? Ultimately, should school be the center of gravity for a family?
Alex Newman, editor at New American Magazine, discusses his research into the Epstein scandal. How bad was it really? (Turns out it can't adequately be described on a family show.) Will the men involved get away with it? Why do witnesses keep dying? Why are the authorities doing so little, when they exist to punish evil? Would indicting the key players leave a leadership vacuum in the US? And how should the church respond?
With the average marriage age at 29–32, the average man hooked on porn, and the average woman a feminist, it's not easy finding godly suitors. How are we to identify them? How picky should we be? Bill and Todd share their lists of non-negotiables, and the panel discusses sending kids out in search of spouses…the dangers of "courtship" (and what to do instead)…whether chaperones are a good idea….and avoiding heartbreak.
Where did the universe come from? The big bang is the most popular theory, with 70% of Americans being believers. But how did that happen? Where did the matter come from? How can we get evidence from 13.8 billion years ago, to test this theory? And if these conjectures cannot be truly tested, are they really science? Kevin and Bill discuss the limits of scientific inquiry, the testimony of Scripture, and how evolutionism actually destroys science.
How bad is transgenderism? Does God abominate it as he does other sexual perversions? Can you be a "transgender Christian" or is that like saying an "incestuous Christian" or a "wiccan Christian?" If a young Christian man comes to believe he is actually a woman, just how serious is that, and what should we say to him? More importantly, what will Christ say on the last day — if he doesn't repent?
In the 1600s, the best of the Reformation converged on America…covenanted together under God…and took His law as the basis for their government. By 1880, America had the largest GDP in the world. Today, Americans contribute 90% of global charity. God's blessing has rested on us for 250 years, and to this day, we are the most God-blessed nation. Kevin and Danny discuss what happened to bring such blessing…and whether it could happen again.
Kevin talks with Owen Strachan about how Christ restores relationships as well as truth — and the surprising elements of the gospel which attract gen Z. They look at the natural life through supernatural lenses, discussing the revolutionary act of building healthy, joyful lives…the appeal of structure, stability, and order…and whether we are pilgrims on the way to the celestial city, or dominion-takers doing something of eternal consequence in this world.
What can you do if you have children from toddlers to teenagers, and you feel like you're not making headway with family discipleship? What are the top issues to focus on, and strategies to follow? The panel talks about going beyond family worship…ways to find one-on-one time with lots of kids…big mistakes…the role of the church…and the best things their own parents did.
Movies are the most powerful teaching tool in our culture. In the 60s and 70s, a small group of studios led the West by the nose into moral revolution — and the Academy Awards continue to reward films romanticizing evil. But Americans' embrace of moral relativism has flatlined in the past 10–15 years. Hollywood has lost its grip on the American mind — and now there is a great opportunity for independent Christian filmmakers. Will we seize it?
Should we fast — and does fasting somehow make God pay more attention to our prayers? Is it a way for God to test the sincerity of our petitions…and if so, are there wrong ways to pray and fast? But then, why even pray at all when God is sovereign? How can our petitions change His eternal decree about what will come to pass?
Kevin speaks to Sam Rust about whether patriotism is a good thing for Christians — and if so, what a patriot should think about MAGA, trade protectionism, nationalism, and America First. They discuss the positives, and negatives, of the USA…whether any central identity still remains to love…the gospel hope upon which America was founded…and whether it is possible to revive that heritage.
Is anonymity quietly discipling you? The dads contrast surface-level groups with the biblical fellowship that knows names, bears burdens, and insists on hope plus discipline. They lay out a path for men: confess honestly, believe the promises, re-commit to the Word and gathered worship, invite accountability, and keep coming back week after week. This is gospel courage with guardrails—truth, love, and long-haul patience.
It's post-modern. It's hip. It's new. It's "contemporary." It's a revolution! Over the last 30 years, we have seen a total revolution of the music in the Church, representing a radical cultural change more significant than anything seen in at least 500 years! Is this a good thing or bad thing? Now, there is an important question – a one billion dollar question. Does this radical change in culture and music indicate a wonderful reformation and revival in the church, among our teens, or is it just more of the breakdown of the institution of the family, generational continuity, and culture. Is it a breakdown of the faith? Dr. T. David Gordon, professor of Religion and Greek at Grove City College addresses these questions with a thoughtful new book, "Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns," and he interacts with host Kevin Swanson on this edition of Generations.
What does the Bible say about alcohol? How about smoking? It can be easy for Christians to fall into one of two ditches: legalism or anti-nomianism. However, while fundamentalist Christians are worried about things like drinking, smoking, or dancing, they tend to ignore the problem of gluttony. On the other side, while wanting to enjoy alcohol, entertainment, etc, do these things start to take the place of true joy and fulfillment, which can only be obtained through God?
Four fault lines run through the U.N. story: centralized power, moral inversion, cultural engineering, and chronic failure on justice. This conversation contrasts a pro-liberty stand with decades of globalist overreach—from UNFPA and UNICEF agendas to the ICC and Arms Trade Treaty. Will Christians push back before one-world rule hardens?
Kevin and Bill discuss a recent racially-motivated murder and the uproar that it caused in the media. Are all murders, whether they be the murder of little babies in the womb or sensationalized crimes, treated the same way by the major media? What is the impact of racially-motivated murders? Should Christians make a big deal about the color of someone's skin, or should we acknowledge that all men and women, regardless of skin color, are sinners and all need to be saved and washed by the blood of Jesus Christ?
Tired, busy, and unsure where to start? This conversation lays out a doable blueprint for dads: short passages, honest discussion, concrete application, and prayer that engages toddlers through twenty-somethings. Learn how to prepare in ten minutes, keep attention spans, measure retention, and overcome the real obstacles—fatigue, fear, and inconsistency—so Scripture becomes the daily soundtrack of your home.
They are gone. They ran the race. Five great men have died now. But what are the dying words of the last of "the prophets." What would they say to us? All five were the strongest voices in the country - contra mundum. Phil Robertson, Pastor John MacArthur, Dr. James Dobson, Voddie Baucham, and Charlie Kirk left the same message — "Get. Your. Children. Out. Of. Public. Schools. Now." We're picking up the message, and taking it to the nation. What about "Public School Free!" Rallies in every state?
What Does the Bible Say About Ecumenism? – Roman Catholicism, the Gospel of Grace, and First-Order Doctrines If unity is a virtue, does that mean Protestants should embrace ecumenism with Roman Catholics? What about when first-order doctrines like the Trinity and salvation by grace through faith are at stake? This episode asks whether cooperation in politics is different from unity in the church, and whether the "least common denominator" approach to Christianity actually undermines the gospel itself. From Galatians to John 3:16, the conversation highlights the danger of watering down truth, the insufficiency of works-based systems, and the urgent call to evangelize with a gospel that is all of grace, all of Christ, and all of Scripture.
A late-night jab reignites a bigger debate: Who polices speech in America? This episode traces the line between sins and crimes, argues against government licensing of media, and defends freedom of conscience under the First Amendment. We contrast "strongman" instincts with a biblical model that honors authority, rejects vengeance, and fights bad ideas with better ones—through open debate, market pressure, and the light of God's Word. From David, Nathan, and Shimei to today's media oligarchs and the internet's "Babel effect," the case is made for liberty over tyranny and persuasion over censorship.
A memorial service for Charlie Kirk reached hundreds of thousands in person and tens of millions worldwide, delivering a clear gospel message for hours on end. The most striking moment came when his wife publicly forgave her husband's assassin—an act that revealed the supernatural power of the gospel. Yet, the event also highlighted America's sacred–secular divide, with some leaders expressing a spirit of vengeance rather than forgiveness. Will this moment spark revival and reformation in a nation teetering between pride and repentance, division and unity?
What's your Plan B when the modern model of parenting fails? In this energizing episode, the dads explore the lost vision of a working family economy—where children aren't sidelined but integrated into the daily life, ministry, and productivity of the household. From Russian orphanages to backyard wood splitting, they share stories of hospitality, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and meaningful work that strengthens the family bond and prepares kids for real life. Can we trade isolation for integration and rediscover the joy of doing life together as a family?
There are four elements that turned Charlie Kirk into a major target for the enemy. And there are some extraordinary factors that played into this shocking assassination, the investigation, and fallout. Will there be justice served, and how is America reacting?
If the internet has been dangerous and counterproductive to human life on planet earth, what about Artificial Intelligence? Is it dangerous? Is it deceptive? Is it potentially destructive? Could it destroy the world? After we are done with our list of cautions, is there anything worth salvaging here for human life on planet earth? What does the Bible say about artificial intelligence? At base, this is a worldview question. It is a Colossians 2:8 concern. We ask the question first — how does AI handle the normative, the existential, the situational, and the teleological? If poorly, how quickly might AI lead one astray!
Based on the evidence surfacing, it has become clear that Charlie Kirk is the first true Christian martyr on American soil. The world is listening. What will we tell our children about the life and death of Charlie Kirk? What was his message, his vision, his mission, and his example of boldness and faith? Daniel Craig, Stephen Craig, and Kevin Swanson share the big takeaways.
There are some sort-of divisive issues, and then there are hyper-divisive issues. Will our leadership find ways to unify the nation on the most incendiary issues — Kill-Pill by Mail and Transgenderism? But then, the anti-Christian agenda is erupting into violence as well. Post-Christian apostasy can get violent. We draw in the post-Christian roots of the Nazi inner circle, and note the danger of it.
Conflict in the church is inevitable—but how we respond reveals the depth of our maturity and love for Christ. In this episode, the Discipleship for Dads panel tackles real-life examples of church conflict, from failed courtships to playground drama, and offers gospel-centered wisdom for navigating turbulent waters. Why do so many believers jump ship at the first sign of trouble? And how can we become less easily offended, more humble, and truly committed to unity in the body of Christ? The panel uses vivid metaphors and practical examples to remind us: the goal is not to avoid the rapids—but to stay in the boat together and grow stronger on the other side.
Donald Trump has talked about bringing prayer back into the schools. Kevin, Bill and Adam discuss this story on today's program.
Forms and art are a reflection of several key aspects of society, including the amount of common grace at work in and inherited by a society, and of course the prevalent worldview in the minds of those creating the art. So what should a Christian think about classical music produced by composers like Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn? What does the Bible have to say about forms, and how do the principles of honor, chaos and order, and not eating things offered to idols tie into the discussion?
A few nations have shut down homeschooling entirely, and others are about to follow suit. Parents do not have the choice. This year, at least one state wants to impose a DEI program on homeschoolers. Where did this compulsory attendance law come from, and what is the worldview that requires state control of the children? Before Jean-Jacques Rousseau there was Prussia and Christian Wolfe; and Wolfe lived up to his name. We analyze the Pelagian view of man that infected the lapsed Christians of Germany and America in the 18th and 19th Centuries.
The National Football League has added "male cheerleaders" to the mix — a recent phenomenon. How to Christians respond to the sexualization and homosexualization of the NFL? We pursue a discussion on the gender blender in dress, hairstyle, body movements, etc. It's not so much the feminization of the male, as it is the softening and emasculating of the modern male. What's the remedy?
In this edition of Discipleship for Dads, Kevin, Todd, Bill, and Danny discuss the responsibilities a father has in launching daughters and preparing them to leave and cleave.
The US is divided ideologically like never before, and the schism has metastasized into a high-profile assassination on a college campus, with the death of Charlie Kirk (which occurred as we recorded the program). We recognize the courage and faith of Charlie Kirk, who fought some of the same battles we have engaged through the years. This program focuses on the worldview war playing out at the college campus, the rising ideological division on the campuses and between states, the abdication of Christians, and the rise of Islam.
After running through a plethora of problems with social media as collected by the secularists, the rest of us wonder if its really worth it. The Bible has nothing to say about it. . . except for the thousands of principles governing human relationships found in the Book of Proverbs, the Gospels, and the Epistles. Actually, you'd be surprised how much the Bible says about Social Media. We end the discussion with a few simple questions to test the edifying value of uploads and downloads on this media form.
The college bubble has burst. About half of college borrowers are behind on their loans now, and the percentage of young people in college has already fallen off from 81% to 63% over just the last few years. The majority of job offerings have lifted the college degree. But what's a young person to do? How will the next generation compete with AI? Here, we break down where future jobs are to be found, and where the preparation needs to happen. Young people, get savvy now!
The new Axis has formed. But, what are the contrasts in values represented by both sides — China/Russia/North Korea and the US/Europe. Authoritarians take the first position. On the other side we find divisive woke, sexual perversion, feminism, individualist ethical autonomy, and birth implosions. Are these values worth fighting for? Europe has lost the will to carry on a civilization by the birth canal. What does this imply for the battlefield? These are critical geopolitical questions. Ultimately, the West is confronting a Deuteronomy 28:25 challenge right now. We take up Scotland as a prime example of the decline of the West on this edition of the program.
Prepare your fields, and then afterward, "build thine house." Young men are not launching much these days, but dads can make a huge difference here. Here is a thoughtful and critical conversation, with four dads in studio, on how to launch our sons into business, marriage, and the calling God has for them. How will your son attain a vision for life, direction, equipping, sobriety, maturity, and a readiness to embrace the responsibilities of life? How is he going to launch?
Cracker Barrel is just the latest company that just can't seem to keep its list of virtues up to date for its virtue signaling campaigns. But what is this virtue signaling and why are companies getting behind the transgender insanity with such enthusiasm? Why would they risk the health of their companies to keep a small fraction of the transgender community happy? We dig into Chat GPT's worldview of existentialism, and define insanity biblically.
The number of people on psychotropic drugs is high nowadays. The world around is in constant need of catharsis, via drugs, music, and entertainment. What is the role of music in a Christian's life? The Bible encourages Christians to admonish each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, but what about secular music? Is it okay for Christians to listen to this kind of music? Even when rejecting the lyrics, can a Christian be overcome by the milieu that surrounds pop and folk culture?
He was hated, maligned, and marginalized. His enemies kicked dirt over his grave. His own people turned on him. He dared to discipline in a permissive society. He dared to defy the zeitgeist, and to take the battle to the devil's back yard. He fought back against abortion and sexual perversion when everybody knew it would be a losing battle. He spent his wad advocating a highly marginalized homeschool movement, opposing godless public schools, and fighting abortion. He pushed for Christian legal defense organizations in an anti-Christian age. Dr. James Dobson was the man for the day — a quarterback fighting for every inch he could get, when pushed back to his own 5 yard line. He fought for a country through Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas, and Obergefell. He fought to save a civilization. . . a losing battle. He lost the pro-life plank. He lost the pornography battle. He lost the war on sexual perversion. But the point is. . .he fought with courage the whole way. Here is our tribute to Dr. James Dobson (1936-2025).
This pill can kill without the woman knowing it. This pill can be mailed across state lines. This pill has already killed 500 million kids. . . soon to be 1 billion by 2030. Is this wrongful death or just plain murder? Chief responsibility for this holocaust lies at the feet of 4 people — all atheists and agnostics who turned away from the faith of their fathers. Will governments rein in the devastation, or will God have to do it?
Children are born in sin, but God also calls Christian children holy. Parents have a duty to rebuke and correct, but it needs to be done in love. How can parents discipline their children when they violate God's law and disobey? What are the differences between discipline of a five-year-old and discipline of a rebellious teenager? These questions are addressed in this edition of Discipleship for Dads.
Why do the major Christian homeschool literature books offer 90-97% pagan literature or that written by non-Christians for our kids? Why must we submerge our children in these bad worldviews? What about these arguments urged upon our Christian families, to ascertain that all our youth read the pagans and the post-Christian apostates? "Our children need a well rounded education." "All great classic literature is good literature." "The human mind was not darkened by the fall." "We can borrow everything from the Egyptians!"
What does the Bible say about recreation and play? It's good to enjoy God and the gifts He has given to us. However, where is the balance between work and play? It's important to remember that these gifts will come and go, but God doesn't. We should be thanking God for his good gifts that we get to enjoy, instead of making idols out of them.
Global population is looking like it will lose 70% with birth rate heading toward 1.8. Is there any correcting this trend? The Muslims and Communists are unable to do it by sheer coercion. The mechanical womb may be the only hope for humanist humanity. But what about Jesus's people? Will anybody deny themselves and follow Jesus among Christians? Will Christians follow Christ? This is the only hope for humanity now.
Fantasy and horror can be extremely dangerous for children. And, if parents can't distinguish between the demonic and the godly in fantasy novels, they sign their kids up for some pretty horrible stuff. Serial killers, Richard Ramirez, David Berkowitz, Adolf Constanzo, Sean Sellers, Henry Lee Lucas, and others have admitted to influence from Satanic materials and movies. Satan is real, and playing with this stuff leads to bad things. But the grace of God is greater, as in the case of the salvation of David Berkowitz.
We are called to live at peace with all men as much as is possible and to pursue it. What does a peaceful home look like? What is the basis of a peaceful home? Kevin Swanson, Bill Roach, Daniel Craig, and Todd Strawser discuss how to cultivate peace within the home and how to shepherd children through the squabbles and offenses, and ultimately how to walk in forgiveness and reconciliation within the home.
The Museum of the Bible presents an evolutionary construct concerning the development of monotheism in the world. But this is because they are attempting to be non-sectarian and non-evangelical. Is it possible to be religiously neutral, and to present the evidence, without first filtering the evidence through a preconceived worldview?
There is a lack of fear of God in the average Christian's language today. What is it that drives our language? Do we fear God, or is our language filled with taking God's name in vain or using minced oaths? In addition to this discussion on language, Josh and Kevin touch on vows and the importance of keeping vows that are made.
One nation stands in the gap. One nation is in the target sights of principalities and powers in the spiritual realm and the geo-political realm. One nation represents a growing Christian edge in the world. The battle over the soul of Brazil is playing out over Christian homeschoolers, and we tell the story direct from the front lines. God is winning our battles for us in Brazil as homeschoolers take the faith stand.
The two nations with the highest percentage of women in the military are Australia and the US. But, Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan, and the other eastern nations have taken the opposite stance. But why are women enlisters increasing exponentially during the Trump administration . . . and Fox News is celebrating? We provide some history on the rise of feminism and confused roles in the 20th Century in this segment, and then lay out the biblical standards for warfare.
How should conflict in marriage be dealt with? Unity typically increases as marriage progresses, but there will always be some disagreement between husbands and wives. Whether it be over relationships with in-laws, the raising of children, or finances, it's vital that disagreements be addressed with a spirit of love, gratitude, and humility. Listen to this episode of Discipleship for Dads for practical tips on this important subject.
Superman is the biggest blockbuster of the summer, and yes, there's a little wokie-ness throughout. But, the real issue is the worldview tug-of-war between polytheism and raw humanist-existentialism. Kansas dad and Krypton dad are arguing it out, but really, they're both wrong. Discerning these major motion pictures requires pretty highly-calibrated worldview glasses and an ear for the internal contradictions. But would a 14-year-old kid discern it, or just meld right into it?
Normatively, only a very small percentage of people stay single their entire lives. So how do men and women leave and cleave well when it's time to establish their own households? How do we interact with the ideas of patriarchy, emancipation, and jurisdictions for in-laws, spouses, and grandparents? How do we apply the fifth commandment to honor our parents as we leave and cleave? Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow address this topic on this edition of Generations.
According to a study done in 2016, the average adult spends 10 hours and 32 minutes on unproductive media per day, and it's only increasing. The effects of this poor handling of technology are evident everywhere. Human relationships in families, churches, and communities are increasingly shallow, short-lived, broken, or non-existent today. There is no time for worshipping God. Modern technology is taking dominion over man, despite God's call for man to take dominion and redeem the time. Yet, we know there is also a proper use of technology. So what are the solutions to the problems of tech, and what is the right use of the tool? How is a family to use it wisely? Chris Kasper from wisephone.com joins us on this edition of the program to discuss these and other questions.
A new Axis is forming for the first time since the cold war, or really, since the 1940s. Iran, China, India, Russia, and North Korea are collecting forces. They equal the US economy now, and all of them have nukes (almost). Tensions are growing, and alliances are developing stronger every day. But what do Proverbs 22:7 and 14:28 have to do with it? Will the West lose this one? That depends on whether God's wisdom is still relevant.
A huge percentage of Christian children are leaving the church. There is no greater joy than to see one's children walking in the truth. However, a big part of flourishing spiritually has to do with cultivating a love for the body of Christ. How can fathers encourage their children in this way? A dad's priorities often become his children's priorities. Does the church play an important role in your life, or is it just a club you go to on Sundays?
What are the best and worst states in America? What are the best and worst nations in the world, as measured by the most critical metrics? Florida tops the list on the religious liberty index. West Virginia is the worst. But on all indexes, Tennessee, Idaho, and Texas top the list. But what about the nations in the world? How did Mexico, India, North Korea, Greenland, and Russia turn up as some of the worst nations in the world? The list of the best nations on the international morality index will surprise you. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
Kevin and Josh discuss the controversial topic of what a woman's role should be in the church. The Bible encourages silence with submission in the formal church setting, but does this mean a woman has no role within the church? If a woman is called to serve in some way, how can she do this within the church body?
Kevin interviews Jonny Ardavanis, author of "Consider the Lilies: Finding Perfect Peace in the Character of God." They discuss what happens when Christians fail to fix their gaze on God and deal with anxiety or depression. How can Christians learn to replace their anxiety with trust in God?
Will we save a nation by closing borders? What in the world could possibly salvage a post-Christian Europe—where church attendance scrapes 2 percent? Half of London's church attendees are immigrants. So how will closing the borders save the nation? Shall we surrender the culture to atheists or Muslims? Tough call. While the Scripture is strong on providing opportunities for "strangers" to engage in trade and be treated favorably under the law, the civil magistrate has a responsibility to defend the nation from criminals entering the borders. But the ultimate solutions are not so much found at the borders as much as in cleaning up our own backyard.
What does it mean for us as husbands and fathers to sacrificially serve and love our wives and children? What perspectives can we adopt to help us do this well? What disconnects us from the needs of our wives and families? Is there a contradiction between a servant and leader mentality? Kevin, Todd, Bill, and Danny discuss these and other related questions on this edition of Discipleship for Dads.
The civil government is given a responsibility by God but hasn't followed through on it well since the 1920s. Genesis 9:6 and Romans 13:4 are clear. The trend was set in the wrong direction in 1846, largely due to the influence of one man, John O'Sullivan. His worldview was dead wrong. We touch on the gradation of priorities set before the civil magistrate by God according to the standards of biblical law. Which national governments are doing better than others?
What is a woman to do when she finds herself with an unbelieving husband or a husband that simply just isn't engaged in the spiritual life of the home? This is a situation that requires a great deal of wisdom from the wife. There is something to be learned from Abigail in the Bible, but what else does the Bible say about a woman who may find herself in this kind of circumstance?
A book on vampirism and witchcraft. Another on the pointlessness of life for a twelve-year-old. Another on suicide and tolerance. How does a parent transform the library and discern the best books for their kids? Korrie Johnson joins us to explain how she does it in her hometown in Minnesota.
Here again is one more nail in the coffin of a dead and dying, weak and wobbly faith. The recent promotion of homosexuality from Chip and Joanna Gaines illustrates once more where the modern evangelical perception of the Gospel, faith, and grace has lost all integrity, robustness, and biblical meaning.
Nothing is more important than raising sons to be shepherd-leaders in the family and church. We want our sons to be Christians and churchmen who love the body of Christ. But what about those sons who appear to be on a leadership track? Would you send them to a liberal arts college and then off to a cemetery, or even a seminary? How would Jesus prepare a young son for leadership?
Citadels fell to Christ during the "dark ages." Jesus won over and over again. But how in the world did He penetrate the terrifying Viking world? How did Christ win over the hardest, toughest, and severest people in the world? Here is a thrilling story of all stories told by one who has studied this world as well as having lived there.
Should America or Christians in general be actively seeking to defend the nation of Israel? What is to be said for the Seed of Abraham inheriting the world? The rising tide of antisemitism and wars in the Middle East bring the question of the nation of Israel to the forefront in the minds of many Christians. We ask the question, "What does the Bible say about that?" But our real task here is to train us all how to handle the trunk and the leaves, the quarrelsome and the questionable, the divisive and the controversial, the camels and gnats in theology. While we may not answer all the questions that various Christian sects would prefer us answer, we stick to core issues here as a matter of principle.
Does moral integrity matter when it comes to a conservative politician with excellent policy positions? And how does a Christian interact with the Epstein scandal, the fallout, and the related conspiracy theories? Applying biblical categories reduces the confusion and consternation on this. Bottom line here—we all sin. But, how will principled conservatives handle this in their own lives, and as demonstrated in the lives of others?
We reminisce on the life and times of John MacArthur—which makes up about 1/20th of the history of the Christian church. These were days of scandal, of growth, of apostasy, of lions in the pulpit and Christian media. Pastor John was the last of the lions He wasn't afraid of controversy—a stalwart, always steadfast in his attempt to remain biblical on every issue. Even his enemies had to admit he was the most influential voice in evangelical and reformed Christianity at the turn of the 21st Century.
What's a good daughter-dad? How does a dad raise a daughter to be a woman of God? How might we teach our daughters to fear God, submit in meekness, and be full of faith and boldness and laugh at the days to come? The dads panel comes back together to talk some of the tough questions involving raising daughters—shepherding emotions, modesty, self-image, and all of the above.
God called these young women to singleness "for now." They're not wandering around California trying to find themselves. They're not holed up in their parents' basement eating bonbons and waiting for Prince Charming. They're not signing up for the modern non-covenantal, sex-in-the-city, self-isolating lifestyle. So, what are they doing? Here's another young ladies' panel on hearing the call, preparing for the call, and following through on the call of God on their lives.
On this edition of Generations Radio, Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow address the importance of being part of a church. The church is not a club. The church is a body of people accountable to each other. If pastors are to be held responsible for the people they shepherd, how can they do this without ever seeing the sheep? How can church goers submit to a pastor they don't even know? Where does church discipline fall into play? How important is membership?
The 250-year anniversary for the founding of the United States of America is coming up. In the meantime, America's freedom index is dropping as it becomes less free. The US is a unique country, in that it was established by persecuted Christians seeking refuge, and even though the freedom it offers is dropping, it still remains the most God-blessed nation in the world. It is the most generous and most powerful nation, and still has a strong Christian influence at work in the 21st century.
We contrast post-Christian England and post-Christian America with post-Christian Germany of the early 20th century. Then, we work through the six different causes for world wars and run through the seedbed for war fomented in Germany and Russia prior to World War I and World War II. Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it.
The most important thing in a boy's life is the presence of other men and fathers or father figures in their lives. To be there for his sons and to raise them to be strong men of God is one of the most important things a dad can do in his life. How should a father approach this important task, and what are some practical tips to help dads who find this responsibility intimidating?
Telehealth abortions have now exceeded 25 percent of total abortions in the country—many of these are crossing over into pro-life states. We draw in some lessons from American history on this segment. Shall we let the states decide on abortion . . . and let the pro-abortion states send assassins into pro-life states and kill the babies? Or, should America have let the states decide the slavery question . . . and then allowed slave traders from pro-slavery states to kidnap slaves from anti-slavery states? It's doubtful the administration has the will to do anything about it at this point.
The Scriptures have quite a bit to say about eating and fitness. There are wrong ways to handle food and fitness in a wealthy age such as ours, with the tendency to be towards sinful excesses. There's ditches everywhere: ditches of sensuality, ditches of gluttony, ditches of focusing so much on physical health that it becomes the essence of life. . . . So where is the balance? What is the purpose of eating? Of exercise? How do we do these things to the glory of God? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow dig into these questions on this edition of the program.
One of the biggest crying needs of the day is a faith continuity from one generation to the next. There's nothing more important than seeing the hearts of fathers turning to the children, and the hearts of children turning to the fathers. This is prayer burden—asking for the Spirit to work through our families and churches, and to bring repentance. One way this happens is when men embrace their God-given responsibilities and callings on their lives as husbands and fathers, conscientiously and intentionally shepherding their wives and children. On this edition of the program, Kevin Swanson and Joel Beeke discuss Joel's new book, How to Lead Your Family: A Guide to Men Wanting to Be More, on practical ways men can be prophets, priests, and kings within their homes.
The US Government is buying back its own bonds. Scott Bessent is following in the footsteps of John Maynard Keynes. Senator Josh Hawley is pushing for raising the minimum wage. But while the government redistributes the wealth (largely from the middle class to the lower class), wealth disparity is increasing because Federal Reserve policies will always favor the rich. The shell game is impossible for the average person to follow. But suffice it to say, some animals turn out to be more equal than others. But why not just trust God, and run the economy by biblical principles and honest money?
How do you get along well with managers who are hard to work with? How do you approach the difficult coworker—those who don't get along well in the sandbox? What happens when we're falsely accused? What are the Biblical principles that apply to the workplace (or any other relationship in our lives)? On this edition of Disciple for Dads, Kevin, Bill, and Todd dive into these issues and bring 1 Peter 2 and other passages to bear.
How did this happen? The most dominant cultural form turned out to be the most depraved ever produced in this country or anywhere else. Researchers have discovered that the hip-hop cultural form outpaced the Beatles in its pervasive and omnipresent influence upon American culture. Their study looked at differences in chords, rhythms, and tonal properties over 50 years of top chart hits. This brings up the more important question: how does one "redeem" cultural forms including the middle finger, hip-hop, the Nazi swastika, and the playboy bunny?
The Word of God is relevant to every area of life. What does it say about attending weddings that involve illegitimate divorce or a homosexual relationship? Should we approve of sin, compromising our relationship with Jesus Christ for other relationships, including family relationships? Ultimately, our love for Jesus will be tested by our desire to either please God or to please other people.
It's sort of hard to be in the 1 percent . . . of people who hold to a biblical worldview . . . or the 3 percent of young people who are virgins at 27. Adam talks about his experience as "the 40-year-old virgin." Also, we look at the problem of religious nominalism. With 69 percent of Americans calling themselves Christians, why are only a small percentage regularly attending church on Sunday?
Modern billionaires are expanding their sultan-realms to include a hundred children plus. Will billionaires Elon Musk or Pavel Durov save humanity by sperm donation, based on an evolutionary view of the world? We address sperm donation from a biblical perspective—so far, impacting at least 600,000 babies and counting. Then, we dig down into the libertarian worldview that underlies the thinking of these billionaires. Are these worldviews seeping into the Christian mind today?
What are some ways that husbands can show love and affection for their wives? How can a husband support his wife spiritually, physically, and mentally? Kevin, Bill, and Todd address these questions in this edition of Discipleship for Dads.
The most atheistic nations in the world are not all communist. They are all man worshippers and money worshippers. But how did they get that way? What are their roots? And why did they reject the Christian faith? Both North and South Korea made the list but for different reasons. Ideas, education, and books will make the difference and inform a nation's worldview. The most atheistic nation in the world is not China or North Korea. It's the Czech Republic.
Here's another segment on "What Does the Bible Say About That?" How does the church get on with disagreements on Harry Potter, witchcraft, homosexuality, and vampirism? First, you've got to hate the world (the world's system) and love the brother. Too often, we've got it the other way around. There's too much love for the world and too little love for the brother. We recommend asking questions, achieving agreement on the principle level, gaining unity on goals, and engaging the hard-core worldview war against the world in the movie theater as well as the university philosophy classroom.
We have lost two important things in modern life—wonder and rest. How have we missed the most important things? This happens largely through diversion and distraction, neither of which make life all that wonderful. Eryn Lynum helps us with reintroducing wonder and seeing God's fingerprints on His works of creation.
The conscience of a nation awakened for a moment when the bodies of 800 dead babies were discovered in a septic tank at a nun-run operation in Ireland. But what about the other 100,000,000 babies flushed into septic tanks around the world last year? But then, the UK parliament just voted to allow late-term abortions, while everybody was up in arms over 800 dead babies buried in the septic tank. Hypocrisy runs thick. We also find a biblical basis for the US Supreme Court decision on a Tennessee law that forbids parents from mutilating (i.e. transgendering) their children for life. Parental rights only go so far.
Kill sin or it will be killing you. This is the battle plan for every Christian. It's violent. It's personal. And, it's every day. This discipleship for dads panel discusses what this killing sin business looks like in the average Christian's life. What is this plucking out eyes and cutting off arms that Jesus recommends? How does this begin in the heart?
Philippines, Cuba, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, and on and on it goes. America hardly has found a war it didn't like since the turn of the 20th Century. Maybe George Washington had it right when he warned of entangling alliances in his farewell address. Shall we take this dog by its ears? What is the best way for a nation to defend its own borders? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Supreme Court upholds state's right to ban trans surgeries for kids, UK decriminalized abortion up to birth, Daily Bible readers thrive more than non-daily Bible readers) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
We take on the huge subject of cultural symbols and the worldviews that tie into them. Do Christians inadvertently back into a worldview by absorbing the cultural symbols, or does it work vice versa? Our concern is not so much the tattoos, but the worldviews of self-definition, existentialism, isolationism, and bondage. Our concern is much less tattoos, but more so God's tattoo. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Trump warns Iranian civilians to evacuate Tehran, Supreme Court: Religious groups cannot be compelled to fund abortion, Alabama has most people with Biblical worldview, Rhode Island the least) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Homeschooling is exploding around the world, in some of the most unexpected places! Here is a first hand report from Russia on faith, homeschooling, persecution, and what matters most. Will there be a revival of family life, family discipleship, true repentance, and humility in Russia or the US, for that matter? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Nigerian Muslims massacred 200 villagers, South Korea's largest homosexual pride parade, Minnesota political assassin captured Sunday night) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Gallup has followed three extremely core indexes concerning America's moral position — good news and bad news. But most troubling is that the pro-life position has lost significant ground since 2020. Trump can't do much about that. But what must the churches do? Shall they excommunicate members for supporting the killing of children? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Israel attacks Iran over atomic weapon; Christian singer Michael Tait confesses homosexual conduct; Democratic Minnesota Rep. killed and Minnesota Senator injured in targeted attack) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Warning: This program may contain material not appropriate for children. We walk through the sordid history of the most popular, top-of-the-pyramid stars in the Contemporary Christian Music business. The only historical comparison that ties in would be the Catholic Church and the degradation of the papacy in the 1490s. We also recount word-for-word that historic moment in modern evangelicalism when David Wilkerson cried "Ichabod!" This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Michelle Obama: Creating life is the least of what reproductive system does, Air India plane crash kills 241, Marines prepare for Los Angeles deployment) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
We continue to engage the battle where God calls us to stand for liberties, and return to the current court case around the Christian camp IdRaHaJe on this edition of the program. The Colorado Department of Early Childhood is asking this camp to choose between upholding their Biblical beliefs concerning biological genders and risk losing their license, or abandon their beliefs and mission to agree to the requirements outlined by the department. Kevin Swanson speaks with Andrea Dill from Alliance Defending Freedom, who is defending IdRaHaJe in the case. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Southern Baptists call for overturn of homosexual marriage; Progress in U.S.-Chinese trade talks; Conservatives arrested for protesting transgenderism) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
How many of us parents were clueless as to the insidious agenda behind Sesame Street, the #1 most influential program on children in the history of media? We have uncovered evidence of Sesame Street promoting homosexuality as early as 1982. But, fundamentally, both the underlying worldview and social were radically humanist and socialist — from the beginning. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (RFK Jr replaces vaccine committee, Last night to see The American Miracle movie, Muslims experienced highest growth rate among religions) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
God's judgment is hanging over the nations, unlike any time in our life time. The Doomsday clock approaches midnight. Rogue states have added access to nuclear arms. Pakistan, India, Iran, Russia, and China are about as irritated as they have ever been. We take this from a biblical worldview perspective, applying Romans 3 to the Ayatollah and North Korea's president. Not good. Not good. But, is nuclear war survivable? Will God shelter us in the day of His wrath, per Zephaniah 2:3? Big questions to answer here. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (CA protestors clash with ICE over illegals: Trump sends 2,000 troops; Franklin Graham: We need evangelists who are unafraid and unapologetic; Actor Tim Allen reading through whole Bible) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
The Christian cultural denominator has disappeared in our respective nations. But then, the Christians who remain can't make up their mind whether they are salt or not. Mass confusion reigns — with the two kingdom people, the Trumpy agenda, the antisemitic crowd, the arguers over strategy, the Sojourners, and the wokey evangelicals. There isn't much salt left, and whatever is left lacks flavor. The solution is the same — churches doing Matthew 28:20 and 2 Tim. 3:17. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Canadian pastor imprisoned for objecting to Drag Queen Story Hour, The American Miracle movie tells story of former slaves fighting British, Senator Cruz wants June to be "Life" month because Roe was overturned) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Here are some honest reflections of spiritual life for four dads. Why is there ebb and flow in a devotional life? What does a healthy personal prayer life look like? And how do these guys deal with distractions? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Trump bans new visas for foreign nationals from 12 countries, Painting of Jesus returned to prominent location at naval academy, Actor Kevin Sorbo champions U.S. Christian heritage in new movie) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Average marriage age for women has increased from 21 to 29 over just a few decades. What's a girl to do in her single years? Christian young women aren't interested in the Lalaland purpose for life. They're looking forward to developing more of a family economy in the future. They want to employ the talents, hone the gifts, and prepare for the future. They would rather serve others, build relationships, and deny self than to serve self. How is this to be done given the challenges of the modern socio-economic conditions? There is no one-size-fits-all solution, so we are going with a young women's panel for this one on Generations. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (The American Miracle movie shows God's intervention, Trump overturns pro-abortion Biden rule, U.K. Christian groups calling for prayer on June 11) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
How do you know when the devil is jumping on your mind and molesting your thoughts? We describe what this battle of the mind looks like, and give some strategies here for engaging. Be sober. Be vigilant. Be prepared. This is all out war! This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Ukrainian evangelist: Thousands coming to Christ; Oklahoma Governor: "Life begins at conception."; Christians persecuted in Mali, Africa) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Back in the early 2000s, there was a rising persecuting force against Christians in America, but as of now, it has gotten much worse. When it comes to addressing the sin of homosexuality and transgenderism in particular, the push-back against Christians who are expressing their faith and speaking the truth, is intense. It's good for Christians to remember that, if the world of lust and pride doesn't love you, this is a good position to be in. A Christian's values lie in the truth of God's Word, while the world passes away with the lusts thereof. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Indonesian boy killed for his Christian faith, Abortion Kill Pill creator died at 98, Polish voters elect conservative president) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Euthanasia is gaining steam around the Western world. Every birth-imploding, abortion-saturated nation is moving in this direction, with both American and the post-Christian European nations opening the door to it one after another. Unless there's a shift in the churches, there will be no avoiding the holocaust of mass euthanasia that is coming. So what is the worldview behind euthanasia? How should we view suffering and the purpose of suffering? Are we really in a position to determine what the long-term effects of a particular action will be and to declare that those effects will bring about ultimate good? Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the topic of euthanasia on this edition of the program. This program includes: 1. The World View in Five Minutes with Adam McManus (The Worldview needs to raise $123,500 by June 30th, Kennedy Center VP fired over anti-gay comment, YMCA's pro-trans policy endangers girls) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
We take up peer pressure and peer influence on this edition of Discipleship for Dads. What makes for good friendships, edifying peers, and wise counsel? And how do we proactively arrange for good peer interactions? What about sleepovers? And, what does a father do if he sees his children are swayed by bad peer influencers?
An Oklahoma Catholic school was refused government funding due to its ideology and worldview taught in the curriculum. The US Supreme Court concurred, finally acknowledging that only a secular humanist curriculum may be supported by tax dollars. The state would have to impose limits on curriculum choices. Two points. Education is not neutral. And education must reside under parental funding and control.
The New Testament has little to say about external symbols and rituals. Men are to pray with the lifting up of holy hands. But what is this 1 Corinthians 11 bit on head coverings for women? We discuss the history of it, the 0.06 percent of protestants that still require it, and the biblical data on the subject. Is it really a cultural issue if the angels are concerned with it, and if the creation ordinance is reintroduced? What if women never pray or prophesy at the church? Is the woman's hair a sufficient covering? And, why did the practice disappear when the feminists showed up in 1960?
Our governments have provided free hired killings for parents who want to murder their own children, and they are calculating how much money they could save if they knocked off a few thousand elderly by euthanasia. But we insist that this is not true charity. This is the weird, twisted charity of the Democrats. A few Republicans are coming to realize that whatever our society doing with the redistribution of the wealth is unsustainable. The only solution is to cut Medicaid and Medicare, but that ain't happening until the nation has a worldview shift.
We cover the Colorado transgender nightmare and contemplate attempts to reverse Obergefell. But be encouraged. Bad ideologies don't last all that long—60 to 70 years max. We include a little history lesson to gain perspective here. The Darwinist eugenics and superior race theories were smashed to smithereens in 1945. The witchcraft and seances of early 19th century America were tossed into hell by 1865. These movements were outrageously popular, but they didn't last long. Jesus reigns.
Every child exhibits rebellion, because we are all rebels by nature. But, what about the prodigal teen that takes the wrong path and exhibits full-bore rebellion? What is the right way to react to rebellion? What are the steps to take when dealing with chronic rebellion issues in the home? We pulled together a full panel of four dads to tackle this one.
Japan exemplifies Proverbs 14:34 unlike any other nation, turning into a reproach and an embarrassment in the world scene. Japan's birth implosion and economic debacle is the worst in the world. But here's the history of it, beginning with a visit by the most evil woman in the world in 1922. The nation invited this American Jezebel back to address their parliament in 1954. They went on to kill 70 percent of their children throughout the 1950s, setting themselves up for a gross humiliation in later centuries.
We tackle some of the more controversial and divisive questions on the program, including this question: Should my kids take the Lord's Supper? While the things that should unify us usually divide us in the Christian church, we do our best here to keep this conversation edifying, biblical, and balanced (majors and minors-wise). We draw in 1 Corinthians 11, and discuss whether the warnings apply to children. Then, we address the parental responsibilities in overseeing the children who participate.
A highly sexualized, kid-grooming, rated-R society calls for parents who are on their game when it comes to media and child-training. What are the risks of starting too early, and what are the dangers of starting too late, when guiding a child around the bear traps and landmines of sexual imagery? What about detecting soft porn and the "hentai" of anime? Homeschool mom Greta Eskridge offers some helpful pointers in this edition of Generations.
Here are the lessons learned from those who have been de-banked, de-platformed, and de-everything elsed over the last 15 years. We are encouraged by Trump's Inter-Agency Anti-Christian Bias Task Force. The federal government is rolling back its persecutions, but then again . . . Right Wing Watch and the SPLC are very much alive and well. But keep in mind, the lions are tied down. Preach on, and lead on for the cause of righteousness.
How does Lot raise his kids in Sodom? Evidently, it didn't work out well for Lot. But, how do we speak of the sins of Sodom with our children? What if an uncle wishes to justify his sinful lifestyle in the presence of your family? These are real and present, critical questions for every Christian family living in Sodom today. The dad panel talks the right perspective to take on the world and the right way to speak of the world with our children today.
Socialism has removed freedoms from the world, and that's not been corrected for 150 years. Meanwhile, the Global Freedom Index by Freedom House is slipping for 19 years in a row. Global freedoms are disappearing since the Christian church has failed to locate the salt mines. But how would we restore political liberties to the world?
What does the Bible say about worship, and the regulative principle of worship? When do we cross the Matthew 15 line, and witness the displacing of God's law by the traditions of men? Worship has turned more freeform of recent, but are we getting off base? We take a look at the regulative principle of worship and recommend getting to the spirit of the law, and better identifying when we are making the law of God of none effect by our traditions. We take up a few applications. What about Elvis Presley doing a solo performance in the worship? Or, what about cutting off the heads of chickens, puppet shows, and movie clips? What about reincorporating psalm singing in the worship?
Daily marijuana use is much higher than daily alcohol use in America today. While it's important for Christians not to simply have a knee-jerk reaction to things like gambling or drunkenness, and completely swing the other way, what does the Bible say about the use of drugs like marijuana? The Bible says, "strong drink for the dying." Are there really 17 million people (the number of daily marijuana users) in America on the death trajectory today? And, if not, what does this high use of marijuana say about the hopelessness of Americans?
Disney continues to stumble kids with their recent show, "Andor." Sin, and sexual sin in particular, is insidious, working its way into movies like Star Wars or Toy Story. Is it a good idea for parents to allow their children to watch Disney? In addition to this discussion, this program also covers Warren Buffet and his support for abortion. Warren Buffet is one of the biggest supporters of abortion. While Warren Buffet is extremely well-regarded in the finance world, God cares more about the slaughter of innocent babies in the womb.
Twenty-nine states have brought in vouchers, tax credits, etc., for students over the last several years. This has established a strong conservative movement across the states—a restoration for the nation is on the horizon, right? Not exactly. The minute we get something good going, the devil is always on the next train . . . or the government. What the government funds, the government controls. And despite the continual drop in the approval rating for the public schools, the vouchers aren't helping people get their kids out of the public institutions: those attending private schools barely increased 0.35 percent over 10 years. So what gives? Is there a depreciating love for children? The bottom line is that we need the hearts of parents turned to their children, and those of the children turned to their parents. We need a miracle.
We introduce the book "Apostate" here, and the most dangerous men in the world. They were powerful, influential, charismatic, intelligent, and sinister. They were the idea-men. They were the apostate philosophers that brought tremendous destruction upon the world. They are the literary men of the 19th and 20th centuries. They have had a singular, sinister, spiritual influence upon the whole world, unlike anybody else in recorded history. This was a return of the Nephilim. Their effect on the world was extraordinary. This was the book that started something very big for the Generations ministry. We laid down the battle lines and formed a new Christian curriculum in an age of synthesis.
When held to the scrutiny of honest questions, evolution collapses like a house of cards. What we've learned about the Genome mitigates against evolution. What we've learned about the fossil record mitigates against evolution. What we've learned about mutations and natural selection mitigates against evolution. What we've learned about the Big Bang mitigates against evolution. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Robert Carter on the latest book Evolution's Achilles Heel.
The libraries in America are not a safe place. More and more, books themed on sexual perversion are taking over. All the while, libraries continue to be discriminatory against Christian books. The government has taken over libraries, and has perverted everything, with Marxism, feminism, and LGBT being the predominant viewpoints. Christians, be discerning. It's time to defund the libraries.
HB1312 is a bill in Colorado that goes against parental rights, essentially criminalizing parents for disagreeing with their children's gender identity and affirming transgenderism. Too few pastors are showing up and concerned about this bill. While God will fight for us, we need to show up in support of God's Law and with the courage to oppose the wicked.
The root of the battle in this nation primarily lies in the area of education and the seminaries. There's been a 26-percent drop-off of MDiv students over the last 20 years, with the number of men pursuing MDivs dropping by 22 percent, and the number of women dropping off by 33 percent. But while the seminary attendance has dropped by 26 percent overall, the number of seminaries has increased by 20 percent. This means the smaller seminaries are growing and expanding across the country. We're getting back into the discipleship boat with Jesus. You can't mass-produce discipleship. You can't over-specialize discipleship. Instead, we must bring our focus back the Bible as the foundation of all of our knowledge, and bring back relationships, one at a time.
Revival is one of the biggest crying needs of the day. There is an overwhelming need for spiritual revisiting, for Holy Spirit life in our families and churches. While we've seen "revivals" in our day, it is nothing like the revivals of reformation times, or those in the 1700s. So what are the signs of real revival? Is it emotional? Or is it the result of true hunger for the Word and prayer? Kevin Swanson interviews Clint Stoltzfus on his new book, Revive Us: Prayers & Promises for Those in Need of Revival, on this edition of the program.
The kill pill is one of the most egregious moral downfalls in America, killing thousands of babies every year. Recently, it has been discovered that 10 percent of women taking the kill pill suffer serious complications. These discoveries are what have everyone concerned, but is the health of the mother more important than the life of the baby? Where was the concern for the babies being murdered? The kill pill is a clean method of murdering a baby, but God doesn't care how clean the methods are. He will judge every abortion equally.
Hypocrisy is present all over. In the government, while transgenderism is too far, the Trump administration continues to appoint many homosexuals to positions of power. In Maryland, Muslim and Christian parents are complaining that their children are being subjected to learning about LGBTQ themes. However, if you are going to submit your children to humanism in the public school system, then you have to sign up for sexual autonomy too. And, if God's Word isn't part of everything about a child's life, you will raise hypocrites as well.
How do you determine when to leave a church, and when you do leave, how should you leave the church? This is an important topic that all Christians need to address. The church is the family of God, and, even though so many have lost the importance of the church and what it means to God, Christians who truly love God will also love His church. It's important to work through conflicts with brothers and sisters. Don't judge others by externals. Focus on the foundation.
Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack cover two important topics on this segment of the World View News in Review–Pope Francis' death and the state of the Catholic church and the recent anti-conversion laws out of countries like Australia. Will Pope Francis be going to heaven? What percentage of the Catholic church is in favor of homosexual mirage? What should Christians in Australia be doing in light of these recent laws?
Comparing King Charles' Christmas messages to Queen Elizabeth's Christmas messages shows that the UK is going down in its Christian values. The UK currently has a Pluralist king and a Hindu prime minister–this is discouraging for Christianity. There is, however, a returning of young men to the church in the UK, with the largest demographic attending church in England being young men.
Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow review House of David and The Chosen, considering the risk factors in watching these shows. It's important to distinguish between historical facts and made-up fiction. We must always return to God's Word as the authority on all things. In addition, is it appropriate to portray Jesus in the visual media? What does the Bible say about this?
It's important for families to delight and rejoice in all the good things that God provides. Naturally, it's easy to want to isolate oneself from relationship with others. Whether it be singing around the fire pit, playing sports, going on trips together, or camping, spending time together is an invaluable and wonderful thing. Listen to this segment of Discipleship for Dads to get an idea of ways you can implement this in your family's life.
In a new segment titled "The World View News in Review," Kevin Swanson, Bill Jack, and Adam McManus discuss recent stories featured on The World View in 5 Minutes. This week's story focuses on Donald Trump and his recent Resurrection Sunday message. Not many presidents have referred to the gospel in such a powerful way as Trump did this past week. While there is some concern about a lack of sincerity on Trump's part, God can use anyone–Baalim, a donkey, or Donald Trump.
Hooters has recently filed for bankruptcy. Styles are changing—becoming more modest. There has been a shift in culture as far as dress goes. However, is there a change in hearts, or is this all outward appearance? Is there a humility in heart that accompanies the change in styles? What about other expressions of disobedience to God's law? We continue to live in a sexually-perverted and fornicating culture. How can Christians strive to live in accordance with God's law, and not just in outward appearances?
All the indices seem to point to the fact that America is in decline instead of becoming great again. China is currently the strongest nation economically, not America. America is slipping because of the character of the nation. The lack of character is affecting our economy, our culture, and our society. If America will be great again, what needs to happen to us? Will imposing tariffs, stopping emigration, and firing federal workers be enough? There is some merit to some of these things. But ultimately, it has to do with the fundamentals. We have to see a restoration of the gospel and people repenting of their sins and turning to Jesus. We need to see America becoming humble again.
There is a recent revival among men in the U.S., and with this comes relearning how to lead in the home. How can men follow Jesus' pattern of leadership? Humility, confession of sins, cultivating relationships, and sacrificing now for future investments are all important parts of leadership. Kevin Swanson interviews Chuck Black about this important subject. Chuck Black will also be at the Colorado Father Son Retreat in August of 2025. For more information on this life-giving event, visit coloradofatherson.com.
It's the ultimate demonic perversion that has been loosed upon the world. The child sex trade is a $32 billion industry, but there are a handful of ministries that are engaging the dangerous work of rescuing children from the brothels. On this edition of the Generations Radio broadcast, Dr. Jeff Brodsky from Joy International explains his work. How much does it cost to save a child from this wretched plight? Donate at joy.org.
Due to some recording issues, the quality of this audio is poor. Marriage is under attack in our world today, and is one of the biggest battlegrounds for a Christian family. Prayer should be a constant in the marriage relationship. How can husbands walk with their wives under the grace of God? What is the balance between affirming and correcting a spouse?
The international birth rate has been cut in half since 1950. The US birth rate has gone from 3.4 to 1.7 within this most recent generation, and the average evangelical church has a birth rate just above the national average. The result is that we're looking at the largest demographic shift since the world-wide flood. We're living in a self-centered age that is all about "me," which isn't helping either. Do Christians need to look different from the world on the issue of birth control? What is the difference between birth control and conception control? Is conception control Biblically allowed? Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow discuss these questions and more on this edition of the program.
The importance of Scripture in a father's life cannot be overstated. To be nurtured, convicted, and exhorted by God's Word every day should take high priority in every dad's life. The Word is relevant, authoritative, and life-giving, and it's a father's job to not only study God's Word himself, but to be exhorting and teaching his family about Scripture every day.
HB 2827 is a recent bill that challenges homeschool freedoms in the state of Illinois. It increases restrictions on homeschooling and is an assault on freedom. Eight thousand homeschoolers showed up to the Illinois state capitol to protest the bill. Protecting our freedoms is one of the most important things we can do in a world that's headed for more totalitarian government every day.
Today, homeschooling is typically mother-led. However, it's important that fathers be involved in this vital part of raising children as well. To what extent should a dad be involved, and how does gifting influence this?
Throughout history, the influence of Jesus Christ over medicine has been very apparent. So many Christians have contributed to advancements in medical technology, the creation of hospitals, and a decrease in mortality rate, especially when it comes to infant mortality rates. However, Margaret Sanger came along in the 19th and 20th centuries and made attempts to reverse some of this. Today, are we gaining or losing ground when it comes to human life?
While Christians are attempting to engage the fight for liberty under God's law all over the world, the world powers are meanwhile engaged in proud displays of power. Men who love violence are running the major nations, Iran is a powder keg, and tariffs are causing divisiveness all over the world. Are we currently headed for a world war, and what should a Christian's reaction be to this possibility?
Property tax is crucial to the communist, Marxist agenda, which became entrenched in American between roughly 1845 and 1890. The end result is that we're living under some of the most severe tyrannies of all time today. Until about 1913, taxes never exceeded 7 percent of the people's income—including during the Roman Empire. Now we see tax rates of 40, 50, and 60 percent. But a movement to decrease property taxes seems to be sweeping the nation, starting with states like Wyoming. So, what is a proper tax rate, according to God? What principles should guide what the government collects from the people? On this edition of the program, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the topic of property taxes and the top priorities for reversing the communism that took hold of this country in 19th Century.
An important part of being a parent is discipline, but we want to be sure that we don't separate the gospel from law. How can parents incorporate a gospel message into their discipline? Love over a spirit of anger and pride is vital in the raising of children.
America has become very individualistic over the years, which has also created a more individualized view of Christianity, and in particular, baptism. However, what does the Bible say about this topic? The Bible mentions household baptism and whole households being saved. Are household baptisms appropriate? What about sprinkling vs. immersion? When can we be sure that regeneration has occurred? It's good to chew on and be thoughtful about these questions.
Women are leaving the church in droves, while men are coming back into the church. In previous years, women have been attending churches in larger numbers. There is a desire for both men and women to be revived spiritually. However, what does a true revival look like? Is it tied to emotion and music, or is there more to it than that?
Does worldview matter? Do basic foundational doctrines really matter in the lives of Christians? A new study from Barna shows that only 11 percent of American adults believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, while 16 percent of self-proclaimed Christians hold to it. The number of Gen Z's who believe in the Trinity comes in at only 8 percent. The doctrine of the Trinity has been largely neglected in churches today in favor of more "relevant" topics, the 20-minute homily, and the 40-minute music program. But not being grounded in the most basic doctrines makes one susceptible to false teachers. So how do we overcome this as we raise the next generation? First, check the foundations and worldview of everything you and your children participate in. Give your children a proper worldview as you teach them, and then instruct them on how to cast down every imagination and every high thing that exalts itself above Christ.
In 1937, Disney's Snow White made $4 billion (adjusted for inflation), and is one of the highest-grossing films as of today. However, the most recent remake of Snow White, filled with feminism, Marxism, and socialism, has just bombed at the box office. Disney has dialed in on the wokeism of the day and continues to lose money. However, where did these stories originally come from, and what was the worldview of their authors? Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack explore the Grimm brothers, the fates, and the synthesis of Christianity and paganism that is present in many Grimm fairy tales.
As our daughters grow older, it's important to address the topic of their future, whether this be as a single woman or a married woman. It's important for women to invest in economics and household management. However, if a girl or woman is interested in ministry work specifically, how can they prepare for this calling, even from a young age?
In this segment of Discipleship for Dads, we visit the importance of church vs. family. The reality is that fathers, families, and churches need to be revived, but what should take priority? It's a both/and - we can't have strong families without strong churches, and we can't have strong churches without strong families. If both are important, however, what should this look like for Christian families? How can families serve in the church? Is hospitality important? When is it appropriate for a pastor to step down for the sake of his family?
Jesus has made a huge amount of progress in the world over the past 2,000 years, with Christianity quickly taking over the continents and countries. However, the transformation that is visible today has not been without much sacrifice. On this edition of Generations, Kevin, Nolan, and Fred recount some of the incredible stories of missionaries throughout history.
The modern marketplace has a perspective that is far from Biblical when it comes to investments. This is primarily because the hearts of people today are largely controlled by greed. But what does the Bible have to say about investments, and investing wisely? Is it necessarily all tied to monetary gain and benefits? Anything we do for Jesus counts for eternity . . . and any investment is worth it if we have an opportunity to trade something temporal to gain an eternal return.
A recent study shows that, worldwide, most people are spending an average of nearly seven hours on their screens each day. How can Christians combat this in their life? How can we cultivate good habits and get rid of bad habits? If we belong to God, we need to act like it, redeem our time, and spend time building relationships, working diligently, and seeking to learn more about God and His eternal wisdom.
Many Christians have become enthralled with some of the humanistic teachings of men like Aristotle, Hemingway, Mark Twain, etc. Thomas Aquinas had a similar view of Aristotle, and took a strong liking to his teachings, quoting Aristotle more than he quoted the Bible in his writings. On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Jeff Johnson, a pastor, concerning the importance of building our foundations on God and His Word, and rejecting humanism.
The Bible encourages us to "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." What does this look like for the average dad? In this segment of "Discipleship for Dads," we take a look at practical ways in which dads can focus on managing their time to the glory of God. How can we balance work, family, and "me-time?" Is "me-time" something we should be concerned with? How important is the time we spend with our kids? Do we even like being with our children and our wife?
Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the importance of a father figure in the lives of boys. Men who never had a father figure won't take responsibility for their own children and families. This leads to a world of men like Andrew Tate, rooted in self-love, anger, and apathy. Christian men should be pro-life, pro-family, and pro-biblical sexuality in every way, shape, and form.
There are now 8,500 women in combat roles in the US army, and 600 women in similar positions in the US marines. The gender confusion of today ultimately stems from gender role confusion and the feminist movement of the 1960s. God has set boundaries for each gender, and removing those only leads to disaster. So where do we go from here? The key is to get back to Biblical definitions of God's roles for both men and women.
The Department of Education is cutting 50 percent of its workforce. This is a good step towards elimination of state control over the education of our children; however, will this lead to a complete end, or will this progress plateau? Education is one of the places where the war of ideas burns the hottest, and every parent should be deeply involved in their child's education. It isn't enough to hand your children over to the government to be raised. Christian parents need to take a stand against all state control over education.
The destructive, evil nature of anger is particularly evident in children who are captivated by the angry spirit well into their teenage years. Whether it be the screaming, hitting, spitting, explosive sort, or more of the sullen silence, the biting sarcasm, and cold looks - anger can destroy a home. Joining Kevin Swanson on this interview is S.M. Davis from solvefamilyproblems.com.
Is your spouse your best friend? Kevin Swanson interviews authors (and best friends) Hal and Melanie Young about their new book, "My Beloved and My Friend." Together they have written a wonderful book on how to make your spouse your best friend.
More and more church attendees are leaving the church, with Baptists and Presbyterians losing a percentage over the past several years. Has it been helpful to water down the gospel in order to appeal to the world, or is the American church now paying the price? If churches and families don't disciple and ground their disciples in Biblical theology, it will all fall apart, and that's what we're seeing now.
Despite the media, universities, almost every museum in America, and even Christians being head over heels in love with the theory of evolution, it seems to be fading in the minds of some people today. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the problems of micro evolution and macro evolution on this edition of the program.
China may very well have grown to the largest Christian church population on Earth, but China has a problem! One hundred million people make up a growing, thriving church in China except for one little problem — they kill their children. Some churches even pay for abortions. The conscience of this nation is dead cold with respect to human life, and the Christian church isn't helping much. But what can these Christians do? The first pro-life ministry in China is being launched, and this may be one of the most important Christian needs on the earth today. Kevin Swanson interviews an insider who has first-hand information on the inner workings of the house church movement (representing some 100 million people). This remarkable interview statuses one of the most important developments for the kingdom of God in the 21st century.
In this segment of Discipleship for Dads, Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, Danny Craig, and Bill Roach discuss the challenges of marriage, dating, and courtship. How important is it to cultivate a loving and understanding relationship with a daughter? How can dads avoid falling into the pitfalls of apathy or control when it comes to navigating the maze of courtship, dating, and suitors?
Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss what a biblical view of masculinity should be. Is the only problem feminism and egalitarianism, or does it go even further back than this? Can all this be fixed by government programs, or will it take something stronger?
Andrew Tate, a prominent figure who is currently under arrest in Romania, encourages sexual sin and appears to have a great deal of disdain for women. He has become especially popular lately among men. Tate could be the most well-known influencer when it comes to male audiences. However, as Christian men approach these topics, they should ask themselves: Who should our role models be? Should Christian men be those who sacrifice themselves for women or leave a trail of fatherless babies everywhere they go? People are not to be used and abused, but valued and loved.
How do we do family worship well? What does it look like? Is it simply studying the Bible as a family, or should it include other elements such as singing praises to God? And how do we keep the 2-year-old engaged? Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig discuss the topic of family worship on this edition of the program.
During this segment of What Does the Bible Say About That, Kevin and Josh Schwisow discuss some controversial topics regarding theology, metaphysics, and theonomy. What is the origin of sin and evil? What is the connection between God's sovereignty and sin in our lives? Do ceremonial laws still apply today?
On this edition of Generations, Kevin interviews Rick Randazzo, an FCA hockey director, about the importance of discipleship for young men. Young men should learn to accept responsibility for their actions, learn to serve others, and learn discipline and self-control in all areas of life. Many of these important traits are included in a road map that Rick has created called "10 Traits of a Godly Man."
Currently, welfare programs in the U.S. are being used by a large number of illegal immigrants. How does the Word of God speak to immigration, and what should be the balance between justice and mercy? Liberals prefer to ignore the fact that sin is everywhere, and choose to believe that all humans are basically good. However, to do this is to consign the world to chaos. What is our personal responsibility, and what is the government's responsibility, when it comes to this issue of illegal immigration?
The Biden-Trump voting pattern at that evangelical flagship, Wheaton College, was . . . 48 percent to 40 percent. That's a total loss for the president, Phillip Ryken. We take a look at Ryken's book on biblical ethics and find a fatal flaw. Should the board clean house on the professors, or remove half the student body who vote for the most committed pro-abortion candidates ever to run for the top offices?
Everybody should be feeling a whole lot of geopolitical shaking going on, but where are we supposed to align ourselves—with Europe or Russia? Munich mentioned that the US was no longer sharing European values. What are these values? We go over the EU's values in this segment. What are the biblical principles we need to bring to bear when it comes to these big-picture alignments?
Is it enough to attend church via Zoom, or is there more to attending church than logging in and listening to a sermon once a week? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow discuss several different topics involving the importance of the church, tithing, and what it means to serve others as a Christian.
On this segment of Discipleship for Dads, Kevin Swanson, Danny Craig, and Todd Strawser address the sensitive but important topic of sexuality. Our world is an individualized world, with more access to pornography than ever before. However, Jesus came to save us from our sin. Instead of breeding an environment of condemnation, shame, and guilt, it's important to have a culture of open communication and confession in the home, especially when it comes to sexual sin.
Here is a PG-13 rated description of the National Institute of Health, Francis Collins, and human fetal tissue experimentation conducted over years. Why would a theistic evolutionist and an evangelical endorse the use of human fetal tissue for these experiments? Francis Collins' definition of truth is neither biblical nor scientific, yet he was heavily endorsed by evangelical ministries.
There is a potential for scientists today to lean into experiments that promote a "brave new world," including creating transgender animals, making orphans by experiments with embryos, and using synthetic wombs to avoid raising children in a familial environment. At the same time, science has the capacity to heal certain diseases and make it possible for babies to live when they might have died otherwise. What we need are scientists who fear God and who are willing to apply Biblical ethics to the world of science.
The Lion King remains as the most popular children's movie up to this point. It's seen as a "clean movie." However, what is the real world view behind The Lion King, Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story 4, etc. Kevin and Bill Jack discuss the common themes of feminism, witchcraft, evolution, Greek mythology, etc. that plague so many children's movies today.This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (RFK, Jr.: "God sent me President Trump", Wikipedia founder comes to Christ, Myanmar's military bombed Catholic cathedral)2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Having the Spirit is essential to having new life in Christ. So what does it mean practically to walk in the Spirit, pray in the Spirit, and keep in step with the Spirit in our day to day? How do we avoid grieving or quenching the Spirit? We also know that God is sovereign over the events in each person's life and in the world, but man is also responsible—yet God ordains the means as well as the end. So how can prayer change the mind of God if He already knows what will happen? Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow address these questions and more on this edition of Generations.This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Tulsi Gabbard confirmed, Trump: No more drag shows at Kennedy Center, British Christian teacher vindicated for objecting to transgender agenda)2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Relationships are often destroyed by anger and pride in the home. How can dads go about rebuilding these relationships? What are some practical ways to combat an angry spirit in oneself and in your own children? Kevin, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig all join in on this discussion in this segment of Discipleship for Dads.This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Shark attacks are down, 36% of Swiss are non-religious, United Kingdom targets pro-lifers again)2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, was recently invited to the World Economic Forum, and in a speech, went after liberalism, socialism, and humanism, speaking against abortion, euthanasia, and feminism. God seems to be having some grace on the nations, with increasing steps away from world government, and some steps towards biblical principles in government and economics.This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Philadelphia Eagles coach gave God the glory, FEMA paid $59 million to house illegals in luxury hotels last week, Nigerian Muslims killed 16 Christians)2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Pop culture is still deconstructing in America. Sean Diddy Combs led the modern extreme abuse-language culture of the 1990s, but the piper has invoiced, and it's about over for him. Kanye West left the faith. Rushing Simon the Sorcerer to the front of the auditorium to take the pulpit just three months after he's baptized is not a very good idea. Interestingly, pop music icons became the pastors of the modern evangelical church during the 2010s and early 2020s. Not smart.This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Trump wants to shut down Dept of Education, More outrageous evidence of USAID taxpayer abuse, 35-year-old Muslim abducted & married 12-year-old Catholic girl)2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Do we live in Babylon, more so today than a hundred years ago? What are the points of intersection between American and the Babylonian exile? Drawing from Jeremiah 29, we pull out the sort of life the Lord would have us to live under the present conditions. Build houses. Plant gardens. Have children.This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Trump's task force to stop anti-Christian bias in gov't, U.S.. taxpayers funded transgender opera in Columbia, Jump-roping champion saves teen out of icy waters)2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
What is laziness? Is it a sin? What are the outward manifestations of laziness sprouting within a child's life? What is a Biblical view of work, rest, and recreation, and how can we as parents disciple our children through their (and our own) struggles with laziness? Kevin Swanson, Bill Roach, and Daniel Craig discuss these and other questions about the subject of laziness on this edition of the program.This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minute with Adam McManus (Christian singer CeCe Winans wins two Grammys; Trump: Keep men out of women's sports; Pam Bondi confirmed as U.S. Attorney General)2.

What is the best thing governments can do to improve economies? Five words. Get. Out. Of. The. Way. And, what is the best way to stay out of wars and avoid the slaughter of a billion people? Free trade and sports. But, what does the Bible say about things like tariffs? What does history say about it?This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Trump: Military will no longer pay for abortion travel; RFK, Jr. voted out of Senate Committee; Department of Education getting phased down & out)2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
In this segment of "What Does the Bible Say About That," Kevin and Josh Schwisow discuss several questions sent in by Generations listeners. How can wives encourage their husbands to be involved in the spiritual life of the family? What should be the focus when discussing modest dress? Is it more than just externals?This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Trump pauses tariffs on Canada & Mexico, Dept. of Defense ends identity months, Martyr John Rogers burned at the stake February 4, 1555)2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
We live in a sterile and de-relationalized world. A large number of Gen Zers are on psychotropic drugs and are longing for relationships, but the modern church isn't putting relationships as a priority. As Christians, we need to follow Jesus' example of building and fostering relationships.This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Kash Patel vows to reform FBI into "premier law enforcement agency", Reagan Airport's control tower understaffed, E.U. delegation warns Pakistan about human rights abuses)2.

The age of buttercups is over. As Politico puts it, Trump is a force of history, and Putin, Jinping, and Trump are all strong men, and they recognize each other to be such. We discuss the value and risk of strength and strong men. How do the Scriptures speak of strength as a virtue? Are we moving towards the age of Hitler, Stalin . . . and Churchill?
We live in an age of brokenness—that's the baseline for most families in our day. But all of us are broken, by nature—it's just that the disease has broken out into gaping sores and we can see it now. But what now? How does one face the brokenness? First, admit the problem . . . all of them. Then, Psalm 51.
The battle for honest money went on for over a hundred years in American history, but the cause was lost in 1913. How did this happen, and what are the biblical standards for honest money? Andy Keusel, producer of a video course on Biblical money, joins us on this edition of the program. These are the basics that every Christian family and all of our children need to understand if we will ever restore honest money to the world. Check out more info at www.biblical-money.com.
Crypto investors, companies, and executives accounted for half of all corporate donations in the 2024 election cycle. And Trump Crypto did 18,000 percent out of the gate—with a current capitalization of $7 billion. However, the number of crypto investors is shrinking now, year by year. That's not going to do well for this $4 trillion game, where it's all about who gets out the game first with the most cash. We explain the difference between investing and gambling on this segment of the program.
Bill Roach, Kevin Swanson, and Danny Craig come back to discuss the importance of discipleship in the home, considering the special role that dads have when it comes to the raising of children. Is it enough to simply cut out movies and video games? What are some healthy replacements for media? How important is accountability when it comes to the internet? When should dads start to have discussions with their children on sexuality and the traps of lust and pornography? Some of these questions, and more, are addressed on this edition of Generations.
Here's the first 120 hours of the new administration. Trump was saved by God, but why? Was this to make America great again? Or was this to make America humble again? Out of the starting gate, Trump is taking his Romans 13 responsibilities seriously—defending borders and exercising proper justice in regards to criminals. He is releasing the innocent, including the pro-lifers (as of the recent news). But will the nation make progress on abortion and pulling back on the liberal agenda in the schools?
The job that God has given to dads is the most important job in the world. What dads are doing is fundamental for the health of the family, the health of the church, and society at large. Discipleship of the nations starts in our own homes. Kevin Swanson, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig discuss both the fundamentals of discipleship and specific questions around child-rearing, maintaining unity in one's marriage, and how to cultivate gratitude in the home on this edition of the Generations program.
Kevin Swanson and Danny Craig engage in a conversation, addressing specific questions from listeners. They speak to the importance of a father in the lives of his children, and what their role is, in a practical sense. While the world is in chaos and families are falling apart, Christian fathers need to be submitting to God, correcting, coaching, and mentoring their children, and loving their wives.
Who's to blame for these fires and hurricanes that are damaging our country? Reparations are running close to 2 percent of the GNI, just enough to tip us into recession. God brings it, but God can save us. Shall we trust insurance agencies, FEMA, princes, and horses? Or better yet, shall we trust God?
Here is the shocking story of the most popular homeschooling mommy-blogger - Ruby Franke. The reports were that, "This family looks soooo beautiful!" She had a billion views, but now she's serving up to 30 years in prison. The cults do well with this. The worldly media is all about this. What matters most is the externals . . . the appearances . . . but not so much the heart.
How does one fight the wars that are raging today around things like abortion or the homosexual agenda? Is just anyone suited for the fight? We must remember a few basic principles, not least of which is that we are fighting principalities and powers as we engage the battle with the culture. Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss strategies for the fight, and review the life of Anita Bryant on this edition of the program.
Nothing encapsulates and exemplifies the spirit of the age like Joe Rogan. The modern youth are enraptured by diversions, a constant stream of the f-words, conspiracies, drugs, and UFO's. In a word . . . unhinged. This is nihilistic, hard-edged, constantly-vacillating relativism on steroids. Sadly, the young people in the church have been affected by this spirit. The only possible solution is to be nailed down to the deck of God's truth (God's law-word) with 400 sixteen-penny nails.
Taking a position on truth is pretty unpopular today, but there are still some who have the courage to do it in the public forum. Dr. James White is one of the nation's most active Christian apologists and debaters, having debated atheists, Muslims, etc. over the last twenty years. Here Kevin Swanson interacts with James on how to engage the battle in the dangerous war of ideas—with meekness and fear.
The teenage phenomenon and peer culture has captured the modern world. The thing was born on October 12, 1944—now almost 80 years ago. Only the 98-year-old men and women would have been there to commemorate this revolution. For 5,944 years of world history, there was no peer orientation and peer pressure as what kids face today. Here, we bring a biblical comparison between fearing God (and honoring parents) and fearing peers. The destructive consequences of this social revolution are everywhere now. But, how do we pick up the pieces and rebuild a healthy family and church culture today? This program offers a start to the conversation.
Everything is excused in the alternate universes created for the fantasy worlds in an age of rabid autonomy. Post-Christian man is cutting himself loose from the bonds of God's law in his own imagination. This begins with Matilda Joslyn Gage and Frank Baum and then continues with the J.K. Rowlings of the world. The same sort of thing is happening now with the Western infatuation with pagan manga and anime.
Somebody's lying. The Federal Reserve and the Keynesian economists play the shell game with the people, and it is an outright violation of the 8th and 9th commandments. Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts. Here is one more attempt to uncover the most massive heist of all time—and it's the widows and retirees that are hit the hardest.
Hollywood and the big film industry lost another 3.9 percent year over year, down 47 percent over 2002. And the Golden Globes throws away its awards to two trash films that nobody watched. Hollywood is passing away with the lust thereof . . . the stars are tarnished. This is going down. Will Christians go down with it?
The most urgent issue in the news must be the leading cause of death in the world—killing 175 million people a year, as compared with 8.2 million people who died of cancer, 5 million of cancer, 1.7 million of HIV/AIDS, and 1.35 million from traffic fatalities. Even Christians pass it off, and don't pay much attention to it. But, God cares.
The millennial generation's regular church attendance rate is 18 percent, down from 55 percent with the Silent Generation. We caught up with Josh McDowell, the youth guru, and we're asking him the million-dollar questions. What will salvage the millennial generation? What's the message? How to compete with the electronic revolution? If you've heard about the debate on presuppositional and evidential apologetics, you need to hear about your life apologetic.
What does the Bible say about immigration, nationalism, and borders? Is there a point at which the salad bowl of multiculturalism turns into a time bomb? What happens when a nation jettisons its Christian common denominator? Dr. Phil Kayser joins me to talk through these important issues that touch quite a few nations in our present day.This program includes:1.

Christians too often delve into the culture. They kowtow to it, and fall down into it, and further pollute the spring. In the name of Christian liberty, almost everything is permitted, but what was it that Romans 14 was talking about? Shall we encourage more or less interaction with pop culture, and at what point are you stepping over the line and having communion with the unfruitful works of darkness?This program includes:1.

Action films have changed shape since the heyday of Stallone, Willis, Gibson, and Schwartzaneger. More women, more explicit gore, more ethical ambiguity, and more hard-edged nihilism all around. But, what about the vigilantism, the venge-fests, the blood lust, and the pride and reliance on self? Did they include God in the picture, or is all of this to the glory of man? Here is a worldview analysis of action films.This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Jimmy Carter, advocate of "gay marriage", died at 100, 179 dead in Korean plane crash, Attacks on Christians in India during Christmas)2.

With one final treacherous policy decision, President Joe Biden sweeps almost every federal prisoner on death row into a free-room-and-board program for the rest of their lives. Whence cometh this softy-wofty treatment of ax murderers and serial killers? The root is found in a corrupted 19th-century theology. Human governments are supposed to be some expression of common grace that dates back to the Noahic covenant—but not much anymore.
Crazy worldviews produce crazy consequences. That principle cannot be better illustrated than with Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and the man who's got the ear of the most powerful man in the world. We dissect the Musk worldview, ultimately the same atheistic worldview as Douglas Adams and Richard Dawkins. We discuss the limitations of science, as well the internal incoherence of a materialist, deist/atheist worldview. There is no basis for any meaning in life, but Elon Musk still grasps at his straws—hoping against hope he will find it someday within the confines of the universe itself.
THIS PROGRAM ORIGINALLY AIRED IN 2021. As we celebrate this Christmas, we review once more the accomplishments of this great King. Can we really say that kings and queens will kneel before Him? What did Christ do for the world over these 2,000 years with the aid of His followers? What would the world be like if Jesus had never been born?
There cannot be a more needful topic for the hour than this. Discipleship is the mission. Discipleship is what is lacking, especially the discipleship of the disciplers, in the age of education, institutions, and seminaries. Brian Croft from practicalshepherding.com provides immensely helpful advice based on his experience and ministry work over the years. This is especially good for parents and pastors.
There is a transgender tug-or-war going on over children. Some states are staging themselves as sanctuary states for transgender surgeries for kids and children's rights. Others will stand for parental rights. The only question that matters is this: What does the Bible (i.e. God) say about transgenderism and parental rights?
Isolation. Exclusivism. The sovereignty of man. Fixated on external practices. A rejection of the historical church. This is what has characterized eccentric cults over the years. But, the fallout from gross heterodoxy and hypocrisy can be severe. But the biggest cult of all is the post-Christian, anti-Christian worldview indoctrination into atheism and humanism. This brought about a sexual revolution that did more damage than anybody could have ever imagined.
The left has taken a big setback, while the more libertarian side got a front seat in the 2024 elections. DEI, woke, the transgender crowd, and the feminists have all fainted in the bleachers. The MSM missed the game, and it's pretty much over now for the CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS monopoly over the minds of the American public. The tower of Babel is crumbling into some strange pieces.
Homeschooling is no panacea, and exceptional challenges are present here and there . . . but homeschooling still introduces the most positive news in Western Christianity—when it comes to generational faith. Another comprehensive study just released confirms that homeschooling is two times to four times more effective than Christian schools for passing on the faith. Here Kevin Swanson and Dr. Brian Ray (president, National Home Education Research Institute, www.nheri.org) review these outstanding comparisons between homeschooling and Catholic and Protestant schools. The Cardus study confirms the initial results we obtained with the Gen-2 study done ten years ago.
Kevin and Bill discuss the importance of ideas, worldview, and art in culture. Tom T. Hall, a country singer and a nihilist, wrote a song entitled "The Man Who Shot Himself," then ended up shooting himself and committing suicide over 40 years after the song came out. Ideas are powerful things. The habits and patterns that are set in younger years will affect the later years of our lives. This is why it is vital that we remember and fear God in the days of our youth, and separate ourselves from self-destructive art, lest we move into despair and nihilism.
A CEO of a big insurance company was recently murdered. This has been a priority issue for the news channels lately. However, why won't the news cover the thousands of babies that have been murdered in the womb? Meanwhile, Trump continues to double down on his lack of concern for the abortion issue. Abortion pills are being made available for sale in all 50 states, and the killing of babies continues unchecked. America needs to repent before it's too late.
Polygamy is on the rise in a post-Christian world along with other accoutrements of paganism. Occasionally, homeschooling families will migrate in that direction. But, why the move towards eccentric cults and cultic ways? We offer a few reasons on this edition of Generations, and biblical basis for calling polygamy an affront to God's law order.
Turns out the roots of The Wizard of Oz are firmly rooted in 19th century feminism with all its seances and penchant for witchcraft. We didn't like the distinction between the good witch and the wicked witch. But now, this wicked witch is a little more personable and really good at heart. Here is why Christians are still against Wicked and witchcraft.
On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Marilyn Boyer about a new box set of books sold at MasterBooks.com. These books are focused on historical figures that, through God working in them, have influenced the course of history in incredible ways. Tune into this program for a more detailed look at these people's lives, and go to MasterBooks.com to purchase the set for your family.
American fertility has dropped 21 percent in 14 years, and another 4 percent since 2021 (post-Dobbs). That's 72,000 more babies lost every year to either abortion, abortifacients, or some other means. Expect another 80 colleges to close in the next few years. Already, 1,660 colleges have closed, and more are to come. That's bad news for the blue left, but good news for the red right in this country, assuming the university is the cause of birth implosions and the bad worldviews that undermine the nation and human society in general. It's a self-immolating vision for the left.
US President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on several firearms charges, but what does the Bible say about gun registrations and partiality in government policy? Will the president release everybody else convicted of crimes for violating unconstitutional and tyrannical gun laws? While the liberal governments violate the liberties of millions, they allow murderers to run free on the streets. What is the role of government as dictated by the Lord of lords? After all, civil magistrates are servants of God.
Anti-Christian, post-Christian America and the UK are turning towards polytheism and Hinduism as the operating religion, with Hindus and Muslims filling the void where the Christian faith has been abandoned. Hindus are also increasingly taking over Western governments, currently making up 0.7 percent of the U.S. population but roughly 10 percent of Trump's appointees. Hinduism is polytheistic and hopeless. It has a confused ethic and views reality as an illusion. There is no value for the individual. So where will our nations go as Hindus increasingly take over Western governments? How do we restore the stability of the nation? It must start with true discipleship, revival, and repentance.
Here is a statement signed by hundreds of pastors and church people in opposition to antisemitism. But what is scapegoating, discrimination, hatred, self-loathing, antisemitism, and racism? Let's define our terms carefully here, and not allow the world to govern our conceptions by their own definitions and terms. Can we blame all the troubles of the failure of Christian faith and the loss of liberties, etc. upon a particular ethnic group? Or, would it be better to humble ourselves and identify the real problem?
Major scientific breakthroughs do not happen every day. They require a combination of inspiration, perspiration, and, of course, the mercy of God. This particular medical invention has contributed to saving millions of lives. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the first Human Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machine in 1977. Dr. Damadian gives God the glory for this amazing technological breakthrough. Was this the reason he was refused the Nobel Prize in 1984? This story will be a true inspiration to every Christian and to every young person who wants to discover something amazing in God's great universe. At the end of the program, Dr. Damadian shares the secret of what it takes to produce an invention of great import.
There are over twice as many unemployed twenty-somethings as there were four years ago! That's a 200 percent increase in the unemployment ratio! Is there any reason to sit around and twiddle the thumbs? Opportunities are always everywhere. Kevin Swanson interviews Russ McGuire on his mentorship of young men through entrepreneurship. How does a young man learn entrepreneurship, and what does it take to succeed?
If you think America has lost faith, family, and freedom, or any semblance of a biblical worldview over the last fifty years, you ought to check out other nations like England, Scotland, or Australia! Yet, there seems to be a tiny remnant hanging on to relationships and truth in a lost and lonely world. We found a family in Australia who has more than 1.4 children, is reintegrating family relationships, and understands the Christian mandate to apply God's Word to all areas of thought and life. Kevin Swanson interviews Joseph Stephen, a homeschooling father of six and author of several books, on this segment of Generations.
American federal debt is growing faster than the GDP now. This year, the debt-to-GDP ratio stands at 121 percent . . . about fifth worst in the world. Interest payments on the federal debt have topped 36 percent of total tax receipts. And all of this has its roots in the Keynesian philosophies of the early 1920's and 30's. The present-orientedness, existentialism, and the ideology of Jean-Paul Sartre and John Maynard Keynes are what ran the 20th century and helped produce what we have today. So how much character would it require to reverse the worldview that has soaked our respective nations over the last 50-60 years? How much long-term vision would it take to turn the nation around? Probably a little more than what Elon Musk and Scott Bessett can offer. We review President Trump's pick for Secretary of the Treasury and revisit the history of modern economics on this edition of the program.
Ukrainians currently live in a 9/11 situation, and have been for three years straight now. South Africans live life in a prison-camp-like, totalitarian, and socialist country. Meanwhile, America, because of the effect of the Protestant Reformation, has been blessed with peace, wealth, and much freedom. It's good to have the right perspective, thanking God for the place and time in which He has placed us. Gratefulness should characterize a Christian's life. Happy Thanksgiving!
Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, recently waffled on his position on homosexuality, and certain elements of the Anglican church called for his resignation. Shortly after, he resigned from his position due to the scandals. God's sovereignty over all of life continues to reign supreme.
Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan review Trump's cabinet picks in this edition of Generations. So far, we have multiple divorcees, pro-aborts, homosexuals, and adulterers. If leaders are a reflection of the nation, what does this say about America?
From this interview aired back in 2013: Colin Gunn speaks of his new film on socialist medicine, outlining the problems facing socialist European nations and America. Socialism looks forward to an unproven future that will yield bankruptcy both of the character and the economies of entire nations. Yet there is a spirit of freedom that still beats in the hearts of some doctors and patients. Some of us will FIND A WAY through this morass.
Every Christian family must be part of a church, and healthy families are part of what make healthy churches. But the church member who has been part of a body for 30 or 40 years is increasingly rare in our day. What is it to be a good church member? What contributes to the longevity of both churches and members? How should we view the church and those within its walls? Kevin Swanson, Scott Brown, and Pastor Andre discuss these and other questions on this edition of the program.
Kevin Swanson interviews Pastor Andre Bay about the state of Christianity in New Zealand. While the U.S. apostatizes, New Zealand is one step ahead. Christians have a responsibility to stand against the world and continue to bring the Gospel, despite the push-back.
On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Scott Brown broadcast from New Zealand, where they address the health of the churches in New Zealand. So many NZ churches had to stand up during the Covid years and have become stronger as a result. Scott and Kevin also talk about the need for revival in many of today's churches.
During the 2024 elections, celebrities put in their endorsements for Kamala Harris. Trump ended up winning, and so we ask the question: Who really influences the hearts of people? God does. God is King over all, and is the ultimate authority on right and wrong. However, the liberals continue to make their own law. Which sins are more egregious? Why do liberals believe the inconvenience for a woman trumps the life of the child? Kevin and Steve address these topics and more.
Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss the horror genre following the recent release of the horror film "Heretic." The film has been highly successful in the box office. The horror genre encourages those watching to fear evil, which leads to the worship of evil, which is exactly what the demons want. Given this, is it appropriate for Christians to watch horror films?
Phenomenal things are happening around the world in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. A vision for home discipleship is spreading through countries like Brazil, Mexico, Russia, and New Zealand. On the edition of the program, we review the statistics around the increasing influence that Hispanics in particular have in evangelical circles, the revivals that are happening in Brazil, and the enormous impact and influence that this will have in the years to come on America and around the world. If you would like to contribute financially to help Christians currently being persecuted in Brazil, please visit generations.org/give and select the International Outreach option.This program includes: 1.

Why do teens kill? Random violent killing in schools is on the rise. Phil Chalmers is America's leading authority on juvenile homicide and juvenile mass murder. He has interviewed over 200 teen killers and school shooters. According to Phil, there are multiple factors that play into this type of crime, but there is one universal factor that plays into it every time. The influence of media on young people is more powerful and insidious than you think. This program includes:1.

During this election cycle, the gender gap of women voting Democrat and men voting Republican was the largest it's ever been. Households are divided politically, and the Left is encouraging it.

There are some significant differences between this election and the last presidential election of 2020. While President Trump managed to secure more of the minority vote this time, the overall influence of evangelicals has dropped off by roughly 5 percent since 2020. It is only by the mercy of God that Jezebel lost. But what do the most recent election trends, especially around initiatives concerning pro-life issues, reveal about the hearts of Americans? Is God giving America another opportunity to repent? Here is another call for the salt to regain its saltiness, a call for true repentance and revival . . . and a call to make America humble again.

The 2024 election outcome was plainly a demonstration of God's mercy upon a nation. Jehu won. Jezebel lost. The babies lost, except in South Dakota.

Inflation reduced retirement accounts by $2.5 Trillion, but the good news is that Trump and Biden gave us all $814 billion in stimmie checks! Inflation took it all away and reduced the value of savings accounts by $1.6 Trillion and 401(k) accounts by $2.5 Trillion. What a deal! The government created $5 trillion out of thin air, gave us all $814 billion, and then reduced our savings and retirement accounts by a value of $4.1 trillion! It's a shell game. It's stealing. And the government is good at it.This program includes:1.

England provides the template for the dissolution of denominations in the decline of the West. The correlation between compromise on homosexuality and the shrinking of congregations within respective denominations is almost perfect. The Archbishop of Canterbury waffles on homosexuality in hopes to salvage some minimal participation in his church, but the strategy isn't working for him. But why?
We fill out the Colorado ballot, arguably the longest and most wicked ballot for this election cycle. How would Jesus vote? He would do the will of His Father as contained in the law of God revealed in the Bible. He would advocate a government that reflects the laws of God and limits itself to the purview God has laid out for it. How does a principled Christian vote on the ballot issues?
This nation is experiencing higher levels of the Romans 1 phenomenon, where God gives a people up to a corrupted mind . . . really insanity. Contributing to it is this intentional work of would-be tyrants who know that a confused and anxious population disconnected from the truth is easy to control. Here are ten ways to work your way out of the asylum and overcome the systemic psychosis.
Christian organizations are vying for more government funding—the sort of Marxism and farcical monstrosity that has undermined real charity in the modern age. What the government funds, the government controls and mostly destroys. Here is an article from World Magazine arguing for the funding of Christian charities and bemoaning the secularizing of socialist governments.
Porn use is up 11 percent over the last eight years according to a recent comprehensive survey (in the US). No fornicator will enter the kingdom of heaven . . . but 75 percent of Christian men and 40 percent of Christian women report that they are viewing pornography at least occasionally. Sixty percent are addicted. And, about half of practicing Christians say they are comfortable with the habit. What would Jesus say to us?
The survey is in for the 2024 US election prioritization of issues for the voters. Democrat voters want to kill babies. And Republican voters want money, and they don't care much about this matter of killing babies. Only about 10 percent of American voters are pro-life voters. And, 30 percent of American voters are pro-abortion voters. How can we turn 10 percent into 30 percent? The pro-life position is a losing proposition at that rate. The battle, however, is fought and won (or lost) in the seminaries, the churches, and the schools. But the political elections provide a barometer on the heart of the nation.
With each find, archeology only further substantiates biblical history. We share some of the most exciting archeological discoveries and demonstrate their correlation with Scripture in this new segment. What are the intersections between Egypt and David, Solomon, and Jeroboam? Where do we find David winning key battles against the Syrians, only to lose ground under Ahab and others? Christians are often lost in the history of the Kings and Chronicles. This segment will help straighten out misconceptions and clarify ancient middle-eastern history from 1100 BC to 700 BC.
Is it important for a dad to be involved in the education of his children? Absolutely! On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Craig Harrison, a homeschool father who contributes to about 90 percent of his children's homeschool education.
Readers are leaders. That's why women are writing the books now. They are the leaders, and women are the readers. The popular books dwell on personal experience, self-help, the apocalypse, Christian horror, and miscellaneous unedifying fodder. But what makes for edification? That's the bigger question. Here's the conclusion. Let's focus more on the work of God than the work of man . . . and more on the Word of God than the word of man.
Anarchy reigns in Portland, Oregon and other blue cities. What is to be done when both the individual and the state are violating all of God's laws with impunity? When can we defend our property by shooting all violators? We look at Wyatt Earp and the shootout at the OK Corral. Then, we draw on biblical law on these matters. The Bible allows for family defense, but not so much for vigilantism and vengeance killings. The highest divorce rates on the US map still show up in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah. What is it about the rural areas in the West that contribute to a breakdown of the family covenant? Rugged individualism is the ultimatization of self . . . and destroys covenant relationships. Anarchy is as dangerous as communism.
NASA has spent a trillion dollars on space ventures looking for life in all the wrong places. Another $5.2 billion goes into searching for life in a frigid -270°F surface of one of Jupiter's moons. The attempts to prove God's non-existence or irrelevance knows no end. But the question remains: How did all this water get to this planet we call Earth?
By population only, three percent of American states are pro-life. Only five states (all less populated) hold to a pro-life stance by majority vote. However, a small minority, just a little bit of salt, could make a difference. But here's the $100,000 question. How do we get more salt and more saltiness into the salt?
There are roughly 5.4 billion people represented in nations today that support traditional marriage. There are 1.4 billion people represented in nations today that oppose traditional marriage. If there was a world war between West and East, who would win? Whose side is God on? One thing is for sure. Nations cannot destroy marriage and the family and hope to have a civilization a hundred years from now.
Increasingly, evangelical pastors are advising the use of foul language and obscene gestures. Is this ignorance concerning the symbolic connotations communicated in human language? Or, is it that there is little or no fear of God before their eyes? Why is it wrong to say, "Gosh darn it all to heck?" And, how does cursing differ from the imprecatory psalms? These are highly significant discussion items in an increasingly apostate age.
For the first time in history, women are leading the leaving of the faith. For the last 15 years, they have led the American apostasy on the pop-culture scene, and they have led in the popular evangelly-fish book market. Almost all top ten Christian books have been authored by women for the last 10 years or so, paving the exit ramps off the highway of orthodoxy for other women. But young men are going back to church. They want to hear the hard truths, and they are staying in discipleship. Good signs for the church in the 21st Century.
Disney is leading the culture again with the two largest blockbusters of the year—Inside Out 2 and Dead Pool 3—both heavy queer-coding, gender fluid-affirming, revolutionary cultural expressions. How much of Hollywood is effeminate, gender-fluid, and queer coded? More than you could imagine. But then again, so was the Globe Theater in 1590. The Puritans were as concerned about the theater then as we are now. Not much has changed.
Political prisoners are typically clapped in the clink by communist governments on the charge of some legal technicality. That's precisely what is happening in the good old USS of A. Pro-lifers, Christian homeschool dads, and election questioners are getting three to nine years in prison these days. Here's yet another story taken from a highly reliable source we need to share with our listening audience.
We may appreciate the trivium, or a careful study of history, or the great literature . . . but is it a Christ-centered history or a man-centered history? Is it pagan literature, or Christian literature? These are extremely critical questions with which Christian parents must grapple. Their children's souls are at stake in regards to these matters. Here are some cautionary notes concerning classical education. The reintroduction of Greek humanism into the universities in the 1300s killed the faith once. Then again, the right-wing and left-wing enlightenment turned back to the Greeks in the 1700s—killing the Protestant faith. The same thing is happening today with a return to a humanistic epistemology and ethic. Bottom line, there isn't nearly enough careful worldview discernment . . . among those classical teachers who have had their training in liberal arts from public schools, non-discerning Christian schools, and left-wing Christian liberal arts colleges.
We're currently witnessing the breakdown of Europe in our day. Islam is taking over, and the goal, as defined by France's president, is to eliminate religion completely. Many European countries are significantly post-Christian, and America is starting to follow. Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus compare European and American politics on this edition of the program.
Homeschooling has expanded exponentially in the nation of South Africa where almost everything else has broken down.

When Kamala Harris was asked on the Oprah Winfrey infomercial whether she would secure the border if elected as president, she said two things.-1. As California Attorney General, she prosecuted transnational groups for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings.-2. As Vice President, she advocated for the passage of the Biden Border Bill which would have placed 1,500 additional Border Patrol agents on the ground.-She sounds like a Republican, as she moves center to appeal to law-and-order Americans.---But, as Jeremy Beck, Vice President of Initiatives for NumbersUSA.com, points out in his appearance with guest host Adam McManus, Kamala, the designated Border Czar, certainly hasn't lifted a finger for the last four years to stem the tide of transnational groups who have been trafficking copious amounts of guns, drugs, and human beings across our southern border.-Secondly, the reason why common sense prevailed in regards to the defeat of Biden's sham of a border bill, is that it would have, for the first time, actually mandated a minimum number of 500,000 illegal aliens to be given admittance into America. Plus, the 1,500 additional Border Patrol agents would not have been tasked with preventing illegals from crossing our southern border, but with facilitating their illegal entrance across the border.---This program includes---1.

Relationship. Discipleship. Families being together, being nurtured, even in the midst of some of the most difficult times in recent history. This is what we see in families across the world who are discipling their children in the midst of war and government opposition.

The media has always had a tremendous impact on the formation of public opinion . . . but it at least tried to be unbiased in its reporting in times past. So what do we do when it becomes as blatantly biased as it is today-- Is there an objective, absolute standard to use when interpreting the events around us-- Or is it the one who yells -Heretic-- the loudest who wins in the end-- We review some of the basics requirements for good journalism, how to navigate the maze of a thousand opinions, and the need bring God's standards to bear in the area of the press and current events on this edition of the program.--This program includes---1.

Ideas have consequences. The Peter Thiels of the world are far more influential in the Republican party than they were 20 years ago, and are setting a new direction for -conservatives.- As we approach the 2024 elections, the major worldviews need to be identified if we're going to understand the ramifications of the philosophies governing our country today.

The anti-Trump evangelicals sign a statement in which they advise love, but not fear. What they are calling for is revival without repentance, love without law, and certainly a complete absence of the fear of God. So what can you do when you find yourself living in a world where almost nobody fears God--
Two worldviews are fighting it out for the next election. But will a sexually-anarchical billionaire save our civilization from a childless cat lady-- This is really the question we are grappling with . . . sort of . . . on this edition of the program. The foundations of a civilization are destroyed, and neither worldview has much interest in laying new concrete. The opportunity for rebuilding is still in the future, but not too far in the future.
Egypt was at the zenith of its power, having conquered lands far into the north and the east, well into the Mesopotamian valley. The great empire set its magicians and its power against the people of God and paid the price. The most outstanding miracle of the Old Testament era took place at the Red Sea, and the prostitute at Jericho was still talking about it 40 years later, as well as the witchdoctors of Philistia 400 years later. And we're still talking about it today. Who was the Pharaoh of the Red Sea, and how was the empire utterly decimated . . . not be resurrected until -ironically- King Saul helped to deliver the Egyptians from the Amalekites 400 years later. This story will astound you. The Bible is real history.
Turns out that finding a job in today's market has been harder for those who have attained a bachelor's degree. Since 1980, the price of a college education has risen at 1300 percent, while the CPI has risen about 150 percent. College debt has gone from -300 billion to -1.75 trillion since 2004 in 20 years. That's a six-fold increase, with 85 percent of kids getting bachelors' degrees graduating with debt. The economy is moving from degree-centric to skill-centric, and mentorship is the fastest way to skill development.
Christians have been quite congratulatory of most feminist achievements, particularly with the Title IX egalitarian vision for college sports. But, much of sports has served as something of a metaphor for warfare and often preparatory to warfare. Women in violent sports and women in combat have worked their way into the norm . . . in fact, now American women are more successful in sports than men. But how will Christian parents raise their daughters--
The family and the church have worked their way into obsolescence in the modern world-displaced by large institutions, age-segregated programs, and individuated and socialist systems. The church is not a YMCA. The church is not a pep talk. The church is not a group of families hanging out in some sort of a warm fellowship that we enjoy until people get in a conflict, and then it's over. The church is not a concert. The church is not a seminary lecture. The church is not a series of after-school programs and activities for which you can sign up your kids. The church is not an evangelistic crusade. So what is it-- And what did the Bible say about children's ministries--
When you are at the extreme end of an empire, who do you vote for-- The call gets tougher. Who will administer the fire sale when God's judgment hangs over a nation-- Be careful about pragmatism as a principle for life. Pro-lifers like Lila Rose are disillusioned. Russell Moore is disillusioned for other reasons, however misplaced. But Douglas Wilson and Al Mohler are still hanging in there for Trump, despite Trump's commitment to veto any abortion ban whatsoever. Just watch out for pragmatism. Obey God.

England, Scotland, and America's heritage is being replaced by a Muslim and Hindu heritage. The apostasy is full blown when the nation is led by a Hindu goddess, or something like that.

We continue our series with Ken Griffith putting the pieces together to reveal a full picture of ancient world history. Following the worldwide flood, the world quickly sinks into gross darkness to include the return of the Nephilim, the rise of the giants, ancestor worship, sexually-perverted Ishtar worship, and the tyranny of Nimrod and Gilgamesh. Ancient secular histories provide a little insight, but all must be filtered through a biblical worldview, to better understand the spiritual, social, and political conditions of a world without God. --This program includes---1.

Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss some of the origins of the sexual sins that run rampant in our world today.

The Neanderthals descended from Ham. The cavemen of modern mythic reputation did not exist.

Honest archeologists and historians are baffled by the most ancient remnants of human civilization, revealing extremely well developed technologies.--Where did this technology come from-- Biblical historians have the answer. There had to be an advanced civilization prior to some great cataclysm in the recesses of ancient history.

Enough that multiple levels of pseudo-realities are distancing the post-modern from all objective reality in the big blockbuster films. He laughs at his own torture scenes.

Right now, there is a 50- vacancy in the chaplain positions in the Oregon Air National Guard. Sadly, it's indicative of the absence of chaplains nationwide. --According to Brigadier General David Unruh-, a regular listener to Generations Radio and the commander of 2,400 Airmen in Oregon, he sees a great opportunity for ministry. He hopes Generations listeners who are pastors will prayerfully consider serving one weekend per month in the Oregon National Guard -- or the National Guard of their home state -- as a chaplain.--Brigadier General Unruh said, -The role of ministers serving as military chaplains is older than our nation and is as foundational as any other dearly-held principle of liberty upon which our nation was founded. I personally believe all the other principles of liberty rest on Gospel freedom.- He added, -I am surprised that conservative and reformed Christians do not understand that the Dominion Mandate in Genesis and the Great Commission in Matthew necessarily imply risk and sacrifice.---If you are younger than the age of 42, have your MDiv or at least 72 hours of graduate work toward a Master of Divinity, can spare one weekend a month which would compensate you -1,200-month, then visit the website www.airforce.com-chaplain-, call 240-612-7753, or email ngb.hc.hc.chaplain.corps.org-us.af.mil- --To reach Brigadier General David Unruh directly, email david.unruh.4-us.af.mil- --This program includes---1.

The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Chuck Norris honors his 103-year-old mother, TikTok bans around the globe, Taylor Swift's new album- explicit, blasphemous, and anti-Christian---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Which is worse - violating a minor campaign finance rule or breaking God's law by committing adultery-- Certain of Donald Trump's sexual sins and divorces are well known, but is any of this consistently overlooked by conservatives and Christians-- Should they be overlooked-- God wasn't happy with David's adultery with Bathsheba, and this actually took a toll on the nation. Should we minimize or ignore sexual sin-----This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Saturday Night Live comedian roasted Biden and media- Stabbed Orthodox bishop denounces Australian censorship- Comedian Russel Brand got baptized---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus address how difficult it has become to parent children in our world today. The world is doing badly, with many children spending over eight hours every day in online entertainment. Christians should have a purpose outside of video games and movies, redeeming the time, for the days are evil.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Muslims set fire to Christians' homes in Egypt, Teen suspended for -Only Two Genders- t-shirt, God's meteor shower---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Employers are facing the toughest labor market in our lifetime. Men have lost reason and faith, character and stability. Men aren't getting married, and they aren't growing up. But each successive generation gets worse because they lack both fathers and mothers. The mothers of the next generation of children have rushed into the marketplace to fill in for the economy, and children are left home alone. Only 47- of grown men are married and stabilized in life, down from 73- in 1960. Meanwhile, the ratio of men to women in the workplace has increased from 91- to 34- -a 57- difference- to 89- to 78- -an 11- difference-. But how is that going to help-- Absent parents are the common denominator of many recent epidemics, including obesity, STDs, attention deficit disorder, and the use of psychiatric medications on even very young children. This thing is spiraling in the wrong direction. The solution will be found in the restoration of mothering, manhood, fathering, mentorship, and relationship. --This program includes- --1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -House Majority Leader gives glory to God- Tennessee bans discriminatory de-banking- Supreme Court hears another abortion case---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Visiting the orphan and widow. Adoption. It's real religion. It's tough religion at points. But it has to be a religion filled with faith and Christ, the whole journey. Here is a realistic, down-to-earth, loving, thoughtful, informative, wise, courageous, faith-filled, hopeful look at adoption through the eyes of a mom who has walked the journey. Kevin Swanson interviews Shari McMinn, author of her book called Adoption - Encouragement and Advice for a Hopeful Journey.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Scottish buffer zone around abortion mills, Florida greenlights volunteer school chaplains, Sudanese Muslim militants have damaged 150 churches---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Purity rings, purity vows, purity ceremonies, and dances were popular for a few decades among Christian groups. But, problems developed when the little boys didn't grow up and girls couldn't get married. Immaturity dominated, on-line porn took the boys down- and combining vows of celibacy with a delay of marriage -and a reputation of young marriages- was a killer for evangelicals. Why aren't our young men getting married-- Why aren't our girls getting married-- The just will live by faith, and they will marry by faith. The breakdown of faith involves the breakdown of family. We give some practical advice for young people on getting married in this short segment. --This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Pastor to Tucker Carlson- We need to repent of our sin, Capitol Bible Reading Marathon begins, Japan, Singapore and America guilty of growing debt the most---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Satan worship has moved from Iron Maiden and Marilyn Manson to Madonna Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift Concerts. What started in the closet works its way into the bedroom . . .then on into the living room, and then it moves into the front yard, and now into the middle of the street. We provide a little historical background for revolutions. The French Revolution as the prototype for all future revolutions of the 19th and 20th Centuries, we review the spiritual-occultic preparation that came by the Illuminati and other secret societies early on. We list 5 strategies Satan uses to deceive Christians and non-Christians alike.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Former Congresswoman- U.S. Democrats have joined Team Hamas - Iran, Kennedys endorse Biden over RFK, Jr, Australian bishop forgives his Muslim stabber---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Moral leadership lapses as -democratically-elected- leaders are more likely to sway with popular opinion than stand for principle. Republicans in swing states are fast moving away from a pro-life stance. But, does moving to the center really help to win elections-- Can you really count on the squishy 30-40 percent in the center to vote one way or another-- Who controls the winds-- Who controls the center votes--
For the first time in American history, parents must serve serious prison time for the crimes committed by their teen kids. What should parents do if they are dealing with the Matthew 15-4 kid-- Jesus deals with the worst-case scenario situation, affirming Old Testament law as God's standard of justice. But how does this apply today--
Was it a conspiracy-- That's the question today. We follow the order here. First, governments gained absolute control of the schools, then they enforced godlessness in the schools, and then moral chaos. But is this really a conspiracy of the highest order to bring about this revolution-- Alex Newman follows the thread on for us on this edition of the program.
The rise and fall of the East comes just a tad bit after the rise and fall of the West. All that to say that the next 20-30 years is going to get real interesting. China is losing 800,000,000 people in the largest population bomb in the history of the world. Will the population bomb yield to the other bomb, as tensions rise in the east-- Why did our federal government fail to do the one thing it was supposed to do since Reagan suggested Star Wars Defense--
Apathy and permissive parenting is on the rise. Parents less and less love their children enough to discipline them. And, parents less and less love God and honor God enough to correct them. This was Eli's problem, and God brought an end to Eli's household entirely. They all died. Here, we present a practical guide to discipline and teaching your children to obey their parents and to honor God.
We contrast slavery with killing babies and find that politicians tend to go for pragmatism or principle. Shall we have slavery or abortion where -everyone wants it--- Do we leave this up to the individual states, as the Republican presidential candidate puts it-- If the goal is to -save the nation,- will this accomplish the goal-- That didn't work for slavery, and it is doubtful it will work for abortion. How would you save this nation--
The Survey Center on American Life finds Gen Z women are much more likely to leave the church. Men are actually doing better than the previous generation. Why are women abandoning religion-- Leading authors, journalists, and teachers are increasingly women, and they don't teach good stuff. They are leading the apostasy, and their folly is manifest to all, as the Apostle Paul put it.
Fifty-four percent of American adults believe that climate change is a major threat. That's up from 44 percent in 2010. E-cars. Solar farms. Accusations of Ecocide. The hysteria isn't quelling this time. But what is the worldview and the psychology behind the irrational rage and mindless revolution-- Are they avoiding the inevitability of the real cataclysm, the ultimate judgment at the hands of almighty God-- Kevin Swanson interviews E. Calvin Beisner from the Cornwall Alliance on his new book- -Climate and Energy- The Case for Realism.- Will this unholy cartel of scientists and politicians who have abandoned the fear of God create more of a problem for the world by their senseless policies--
Honor for pastors and presidents is at an all-time low. These are the least-respected people in America. Yet, Scripture specifically instructs us to honor governors, pastors, parents, and company management. But what if you get a president like Saul who is out to kill you-- We look at David's example here.
The modern age both individuates and plugs everybody into a socialist economy. But for 6,000 years, healthy societies found the family to be the basic social unit. The family economy was the basic economic unit. Will society survive without it-- Here is a call for a return to the family-based economy, one family at a time. It's not that complicated.
The US and Russia rate the worst nations in the world for drug use. Based on our new Family Integrity Index, these two nations also rate as the worst nations in the world. The US has the weakest families in the world. America is rich . . . and depressed. Rich . . . and selfish. Rich . . . with a whole lot of broken relationships. America is in a sad, sad state of affairs. There is only one Hope left.
This past Resurrection Sunday, President Biden celebrated Transgender Visibility Day. Biden said recently in an interview that Jesus was -sort of consistent with generically what we're supposed to do.- But what did Jesus really do and say-- And why does American -Christianity- try to water down the Gospel and lower the bar on God's Law--
Campus Crusade for Christ is going backwards. Staff requirements advising using -preferred pronouns- and referring to homosexuality as -a disordering of sexual desires- is not helping anybody. The lukewarm position has always been untenable. We explain here why Christians cannot live by lies, but the shame of it-is a depreciation of the power of the Gospel and a lapse of faith. Isn't it time for another crusade-- And, when was the last time we sang -Onward Christian Soldiers---
The world quickly dismisses America's Christian heritage, but Christians can overstate it if they're not careful. What are the reliable reports that you can hang your hat on when it comes to these questions-- And what is the value of a Christian heritage--
Does the Bible reference dinosaurs-- What are the -behemoth- and -leviathan- creatures referenced in Job 40 and 41-- Were there dinosaurs on the ark-- If so, how many pairs were there-----What about the legends about knights fighting fire-breathing dragons-- Are those stories really about dinosaurs-- What about the stories of the American Indians who documented instances of the -Thunderbirds- that swooped down out of the sky and snatched their young children to eat-- And when did the dinosaurs go extinct----Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Daniel Biddle, President of Genesis Apologetics, about a powerful, visually rich new film called -The Ark and the Darkness- Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah's Flood.- Using a panel of 11 experts, including those from Answers in Genesis and Liberty University, the movie was shot at the Ark Encounter. It's only in the theaters on Monday, April 1st. Watch the trailer and get tickets here.
A guy who kills an unborn baby does not have the right to choose, but the mother who kills her unborn baby does have a right to choose. Here's the question- Does the mother love the child more than the thug, or less than the thug-- But whence comes the right to choose-- The worldview of feminism, humanist autonomy, and existentialism is the source of it all.
The most critical Supreme Court case since Roe v. Wade is now being argued, and it's not looking good with the conservatives on the bench. The pro-life cause is losing. Meanwhile, the conservative Protestant church's birth rate is almost exactly that of the national average. Why waste our time with politics when the church is DOA on the use of abortifacients-- When will the pastors take a stand on abortifacients, the IUD, IVF, and the Kill Pill-- The reversal of Roe v. Wade didn't do any good as long as the kill-pill-by-mail program and fully-funded, government-funded abortifacients are the name of the game.
Tune into this edition of Generations, as Kevin Swanson reads a devotion on Proverbs 1-8-19. Our Proverbs Bible Study Guides, along with our complete Bible Study Guide collection, can be found on our website at https---store.generations.org-.
Could democracy fix the problem with America, or maybe some sort of -right wing- dictator showing up for a day or a decade or two-- The best way to address the economic disaster would be for 95- of Americans -both democrats and republicans- to get out of household debt and stop living beyond their means. But, now we're talking the hearts of the people again. . . . Yet, there are a few things governments could do to stave off total disaster. But alas, nobody wants to vote for that-
Recent surveys have come out concerning the religious affiliations of Biden and Trump, and a larger amount of Americans believe Biden to be more religious than Trump. However, this survey only measures a superficial religiosity. So many US presidents have been excellent at using religious language and showing a superficial interest in religion. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the wicked and righteous leaders of American history.
Roe was reversed in 2022, but not so the hearts of the people. Abortions in 2023 were way up, and so is the LGBT prevalence in the country. Telehealth abortions took close to 210,000 abortions into states where abortion was banned. It's hard to get these demons back into Pandora's box. Governments can't solve these problems now. Is brimstone and fire the only solution, or is there hope in the Gospel-- But what if the hearts of the people changed-- What if the hearts of the fathers turned to the children, and the children to the fathers--
This isn't the first report that boys are in trouble in our world today. The statistics aren't looking any better now. Eighty percent of children between 12 and 17 have seen pornography unintentionally, and children under 10 now account for 22- of online porn consumption under 18, according to this report. But, these reports shouldn't frighten or paralyze us. The US president can't fix this . . . but God can, first by working in the hearts of fathers and pastors.
Tune into this edition of Generations, as Kevin Swanson reads a devotion on Proverbs 1-1-7. Our Proverbs Bible Study Guides, along with our complete Bible Study Guide collection, can be found at https---store.generations.org-.
Whenever nations go to war, we are pressed to take sides. Shall the US join ranks with Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Germany for the last world war or the next world war-- Is it fair to say that some nations are better than others-- We draw comparisons from World War II, and then close the discussion with Romans 3-safe ground.
Would you like scientific evidence for the worldwide flood which is described in Genesis 6-9---Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Daniel Biddle, President of Genesis Apologetics, about a powerful new film in the theaters on Wednesday, March 20th and Thursday, March 21st only called -The Ark and the Darkness- Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah's Flood.---Watch the trailer and go to the website to get tickets to see -The Ark and the Darkness- movie either on Wednesday, March 20th or Thursday, March 21st.
The avant-garde in Hollywood is determined to corrupt the nation, but are they succeeding-- The Academy went over 40 years before offering its Best Picture Award to an R-rated film. Recently, ten out of the last twelve Best Picture Awards have gone to R-rated movies. And, all five of the major academy awards this year were R-rated flicks. Kevin Swanson outlines biblical reasons why Christians must not fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness in the theater. Here are the deal killers-bad underlying worldviews, cursing, swearing, the f-word, and nudity. We provide biblical reasons why viewing nudity in film and billboards is sinful. Besides the problem of lust, there is the issue of shaming persons made in the image of God.
The United States is in big trouble, as reflected by the leadership of the country. On this edition of the program, we review the recent State of the Disunion Address, note the renewed commitment to abortion, and revisit the discussion around inflation, debt spending, and IVF. We compare President Biden's most recent address to his inaugural address, examining the differences from four years ago. We conclude by revisiting Biblical definitions of freedom and God's requirements for a leader of a nation.
The world presses a different world and life view on us . . . and it pressures us to live the wrong life, with wrong priorities, wrong perspectives, wrong motivations, wrong goals, and wrong expectations . . . and we wind up with the wrong schedule, doing the wrong things in life. The results are familiar to a lot of us . . . burn out, adrenal fatigue, overwhelming exhaustion, depression, panic attacks, emotional overload, anxiety, and extreme negativity. Kevin Swanson interviews David and Shona Murray on their new books that speak to our age . . . -Reset- and -Refresh.- If you live in 21st-century America, you need to listen to this.
Oregon is the prime specimen for the George Soros case, and it's all pretty sad. After decriminalizing drugs, the legislature almost unanimously reversed course. Soros is only attempting to be more consistent to the worldview that rules the Western world today-and yes, the results are always destructive, extremely destructive, to human society. The more fundamental problems cannot be solved by governments, however. Anti-depressant use is ten-fold what it was in 1990. How does one solve the problem of hopelessness to a society this far-gone-- Only one solution will work at this point.
Taboos are a part of every society, partly due to the fact that societies always recognize a need to preserve themselves from things that will erode and destroy them. What response should Christians have when discussing certain sins and taboos-- Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss Christian ethics on this edition of Generations.
An evangelical theologian informs us that- -All of us are responding to the progress of science and knowledge about planet Earth and having to adjust our interpretation of Scripture accordingly.- When it comes a scientific hypothesis like fossil dating and the filtering of data through a heavily worldview-biased grid, shall the Christian have to surrender the biblical historical accounts-- Will you interpret the Bible by wild scientific guesswork about how rock layers were laid down . . . or will you interpret rock layers by clear biblical revelation-- Will you fall down on your face and worship the modern scientific mind, or will you submit yourself to the epistemological authority of the Word of God-- What is happening with evangelicalism now--
God's big issues in the 2024 election usually don't align with the priorities of the voting base. But why are Republicans much more likely to support homosexuality than abortion-- We also look into the 37 percent gender gap shaping up for the 2024 election. Men are going for Trump. Women are going for Biden.
Confusion reigns among evangelicals these days on the subject of same-sex attraction and gay identity. What do you say to a pastor applying for a job at your church who says, -I have -present tense- sexual, romantic, and deep emotional attractions to people of the same sex -or some other category of person or thing-.- Specificity, clarity, and minimal nuance is recommended in these discussions which tend to gravitate towards too much contradiction and obfuscations and the use of worldly terminologies. Would celibacy or a fundamental change of mind -repentance- be preferred for the one who burns--
Why does A.I. support pedophilia and place sins like this in the realm of ethical neutrality-- About 97 percent of -scientists- believe humans evolved. Science has turned against God and leads the apostasy of the day. Thus, science is destroying itself. To trust A.I. programmers to get the worldview right is like trusting pedophiles to run the daycare center. Christians particularly are marginalized today in the courts and in the scientist community. But why-- The root of this anti-Christian world comes with jettisoning God in the evolutionary construct.
Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the illegal immigration crisis that is going on at the southern border. Is redistribution of the wealth helpful to immigrants in the long run-- Should Christians stand against the breaking of the law when illegal immigration occurs-- What should Christians do when illegal immigrants are already living around them, and how can we disciple the nations--
-Shall my daughter attend a Taylor Swift conference with the pastor's daughter and the rest of the girls at the church--- That's the question posed us recently, and we provide three strategies by which to overcome the overwhelming power of the zeitgeist in the modern age. The underestimation of the demonic powers let loose in pop culture signifies a lack of watchfulness and spiritual power.
Have we been heading the wrong direction with this age-segregation, programmed church, and children's ministries-- Are we really following through on the Titus 2 and 2 Timothy mandates for church discipleship and worship-- Questions come up here concerning delegation, children's church, child evangelism, youth culture, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the displacement of God's law with the traditions of men. Here's a key question-Do children of Christian parents belong in the Ekklesia -the church congregation-, or do we put them in a -children's church--- Do we shuffle children off into Sunday Schools, or are they to be discipled daily in the homes by their own parents-- Or a little of both--
The Civil War marked a sharp shift in America from decentralized to centralized government, from small government to big government, much influenced by Marxist thinking. What were these forces operating at this time-first rooted in the revolutions of Europe-- We speak with the family-producers of a new documentary film, -Quest for Empire,- and explore Abraham Lincoln's commitment to grow a strong centralized government in the US-something that continues to this day.
The enemy of my enemy is . . . my friend. Clearly, the left wants to put Donald Trump in jail, and they want pro-life protesters in jail for eleven years. While evangelicals may not be quite as thrilled to vote for Trump this time, they are discovering new reasons to vote for him. Ben Franklin's admonition is starting to ring true for more evangelicals-either they will have to hang together, or hang separately. If the left has it their way, somebody's going to hang. Trump favorability is on the rise-higher than ever. Biden favorability is dropping fast. We comment on Trump's speech at the National Religious Broadcasters association. Interesting stuff on this edition of Generations.
Alabama recently ruled that embryos are children. Many in support of in vitro fertilization are against this decision by the Alabama Supreme Court. However, is it right to make babies via IVF, knowing most of them will likely die-- Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the ethics of IVF on this edition of Generations.
We revisit Asbury after a full year has gone by and chronicle some of the most outstanding revivals of God in history. Compare the work of man and the work of God, and you find there is no comparison. We also note the snowballing effect of the William Burns revivals in South Africa and China-the most phenomenal outworking of God in the 19th century.
Judgement at Nuremberg . . . and repentance at Nuremberg. That's the backstory of history, which turns into the front story. Nazi's in heaven-- Jeffrey Dahmer in heaven-- You and me in heaven-- Only by the shed blood of the Son of God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, could that ever happen. Will the evil -or good- works of man trump the works of God in history-- By what worldview are you reading history-- Here is an engaging program delving into the souls of the Nazis at Nuremberg from the perspective of an American pastor who was there.
David Livingstone was the real deal, a prime example of faith, courage, and endurance over the long haul. We explore the extraordinary career of this missionary and explorer. We consider his indispensable work of putting an end to the wretched slave trade coming out of East Africa. Compared to Ernest Shackleton, who completed his impossible mission over 2 years . . . Livingstone endured 30 years of unrelenting opposition and untoward circumstances. Here is an encouragement to read biographies, and something of the spirit needed to get into them.
Not enough wolves in the world, or not enough babies-- Which is it-- Governments are paying -50,000 for anybody who will help them lead to the arrest of guys who kill wolves, but no reward only for abortionists as yet. Then, companies in South Korea are offering -75,000 to workers with the fortitude to have a baby.
The enemies of God are far more bold today than in past times. The blasphemy is far more in-your-face. No one corrects it. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the mainstream hatred of God that takes place in our culture today on this edition of the program.
Everybody's looking for the root causes for recent rampages . . . transgenderism, mental instability, access to guns. But, few mention the hearts of men, demonic influences, and the normalization of insanity by media and academia. Shall we punish moms for the crimes of their sons-- We end the discussion on practical ways to help troubled youth.
The -He Gets Us- campaign is back, unfortunately-spending -100 million on a PR campaign for Jesus. The question that keeps coming back to us . . . How does anyone get the message so wrong-- But more importantly, how do we shift our minds out of this man-centered view to a God-centered view-- Without a 180-degree shift, we're done for.
The deception of this age runs very deep . . . deeper than most people would like to think it runs. The deepest deception is that we are all very wonderful, gay, and sinless . . . and in no real need of a Savior. Does anybody get to exempt themselves from the grace of God-- Rosaria Butterfield, author of the new book -Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age,- speaks from personal experience and with a special clarity on the lies of the age in this helpful interview.
The Gen Z folks have taken up Sodom on steroids-now 28- up from 4- twenty years ago. Is there a connection between a life of idleness, prosperity, and escape and Sodom-- Sodom was filled with an -abundance of idleness,- pride marches, and prosperity . . . and they -strengthened the hands of evildoers.- Both young teens and old were beating down Lot's doors to get at the angels. How will we ever return to a rule of law-- Even the pagan states realized this was essential to retain a social order.
Parental rights and family freedoms are slipping big time in certain states . . . allowing for more state kidnappings of children. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Vermont, and Washington, as well as Kansas City, Missouri, and other places are dangerous for families if parental rights and protection of children from transgender surgeries remains a value. The country has become sharply divided on the issue, and chances of a parental rights amendment to the US Constitution have slipped to practically zero. Here are six advisements for parents who are hoping to salvage their children from the destructive zeitgeist that rules media and schools today.
Remarkably, the leading players in the Super Bowl this year are professing Christians- and a few years ago, three quarters of NFL quarterbacks were reported to have been evangelical Christians. That cannot be said of Hollywood, the media, and politicians -or at least the US Supreme Court-. Here, we look at the positives and negatives of spectator sports and take up the subject of sports gambling.
The revival of ancient paganism is nothing new, and yet there are some new elements to it. Paganism also included mass slave-based systems, and that is what is developing as humans are increasingly controlled by computers and their programmers. We take a look at the recent progress in technology, enabling humans to manipulate cursors on a screen and surf the internet by brain function.
What is the -Establishment- referenced so much, mostly by conservatives-- And shall Christians support the MSM and Big Tech Media-- We contrast the worldview of the MSM, Fox News, and the other 3- of news sources. Does Fox News maintain the three sacraments of the establishment religion-- Christians must reject the establishment message and oppose the medial cabal. But many have a hard time accepting marginalization and castigation and facing down the enemy. This too will be a faith challenge.
Some pain and illness will be orders of magnitude more intensive than other forms. What happens when the suffering and pain is so intense and so prolonged that it puts the human mental and emotional condition to the test, and shakes faith and hope to the very core-- Does faith break-- Does love fail-- Or does one find love in the darkness and hope in the torment-- David Libby shares the real-life story of a fifteen-year ordeal with chronic pain and suffering in the lives of his wife and children. This heartrending story gives a whole new perspective on suffering, the human experience in a fallen world, the sovereignty of God, and the redemption of God.
God uses certain means to bring about salvation while He is sovereign over all of it. Fifty-one percent of evangelicals confirm that their parents were the most important or significant influence in their becoming Christians. Fifteen percent credit a spouse or a sibling as the most important influence in them coming to faith. And only 3- credit a Sunday School teacher, a VBS instructor, or some other ministry in the church, and 4- would credit a concert or a crusade. Dads and moms are critical to the cultivation of souls in this field.
World-shaking crises are always in the wind, and the media takes full advantage of them. The fear-mongering is part of the worship service for the media and political systems. What's our mindset in foreseeing crises and handling them when they come-- How do we keep everything in the right proportion in our minds, and what is our response to the crisis-- When we view the root cause, are we looking at brute chance, human powers, demonic powers, or the sovereign hand of almighty God--
Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, and other favorite conservative icons are increasingly employing the most profane language to make their points. Granted, some situations call for stronger language-but are these angry tirades going over the edge-- What about referring to someone's position as -cattle excrement--- How does the Christian use language to build up and give grace--
The crying need of the day is shepherding and discipleship in home and church. But, how is this done-- What is a shepherd, and how do we love the sheep God has put under our care-- Alexander Strauch and Scott Brown join us for this lively discussion.
Have you ever wondered what it's like on a Christian movie set-- Today, guest host Adam McManus takes you behind the scenes in a fascinating interview with Kevin Bouren, co-founder of Set Shepherds.-Kevin, a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army, sees some intriguing similarities between all the moving parts of military battle and all the moving parts of a movie production. Acting as both co-producer and chaplain of the cast and crew, his goal is to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ to the believers and unbelievers alike.
Teen popular culture now has shifted into almost 100- Satanism, homosexuality, and suicide. While Christian parents want to protect their children from these ungodly influences, they can't protect their kids from their own hearts. What do you tell a parent whose teen kids are in rebellion after they've done -all the right things---
We're in the middle of a raging apostasy and an aggressive zeitgeist that is anti-Christan. Like it or not, we are in the midst of a culture war. We are more on defense than offense. Do we fight-- Do act the nice guy-- Do we walk away and just try to avoid the whole thing-- Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the Christians life and the culture war that we find ourselves in the midst of.
Why does the media miss covering the greatest injustice in America-- The silence in deafening as Christians are heading for 11 - 33 years in prison for standing up for life by order of the Biden administration. The prophetic message is more for Christians than non-Christians.
Does the Gospel have any relevance to moms and two-year-olds-- What possible relevance would the Gospel have upon relationships with your teens-- Families veer into legalism on the one hand and antinomian licentiousness on the other hand. Integrating the Gospel into day-to-day family life is the key. This program will open your eyes to some powerful solutions to the problems facing your family today.
Disagreeing with the law of gravity isn't a very good idea. But what happens when a society turns on God's created order-- Certain Gamaliels of the day are calling out a -coming psychological black death.- What is the root of the root for this pandemic-- God's created order cannot be overturned completely without grave consequences.
Schools are providing litter boxes for children that identify as furries. Teens in Japan haven't seen other humans for eight years. Society is spiraling into insanity. Modern man continues to root out any fear of God from society. Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan talk about the massive social experiments going on with children in our societies today.
The world's heroes are not our heroes. We compare Martin Luther King, Jr. to John Jasper. Who's John Jasper-- That's the point of this program. God call us to impartiality, not to be a respecter of persons. This applies as much to segregation laws as it does to pastors who commit adultery.
They tell us Donald Trump will be our candidate of the 2024 election, like it or not. Donald Trump is considered the most religious candidate among the presidential candidates, and yet supported by the non-church attenders . . . and Trump supporters are less and less likely to be part of the visible body of Christ. America is leaving the church in droves, but they still want to be labeled -nominal Christians.-
Here is the story of an average American family forced into the transgendered nightmare in a junior high school in Smalltown, USA. In the process, they almost lost their daughter. The story is nauseatingly frequent, and all families would do well to beware of the tremendous risks. Kevin Swanson interviews Kevin Lundberg, producer of the film Art Club.
Which religion, which law, and which symbols will be represented by your governments today-- Will polytheism reign over Iowa-- Or will Satanism reign over Iowa-- These are the questions the Iowa state government is grappling with. A former US Navy pilot doesn't want to be part of a nation that worships Satan, and so he destroyed the Satan display inside the Iowa Capitol. What's next--
Missionary legends Jim and Elizabeth Elliott have come under more scrutiny and guarded criticism after their departure. But then again, what is a hero of the faith-- Does the credit belong to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, or to the Monday morning quarterbacks-- Or does God get the credit-- Here is a good discussion on Hebrews 11 and the heroes of the faith.
This may be a first in the history of political tyranny. Certain parts of Australia are now banning certain forms of Christian prayer and preaching. The official state religion among post-Christian nations is total sexual autonomy, and anybody who would challenge that is up for 5-10 years in prison. What would Daniel do-- WWDD--
Published lists of the most admired and most influential persons have shifted -since 1965- from American politicians to foreign politicians and pop stars and billionaires and guys who do drugs. Cynicism towards politics is at an all-time high. The messiahs have disappointed the electorate too many times. But what does this mean for the future of America and the world-- Psalm 20 says it all.
Every child is going to have to deal with some portion of the sexual minefield today. Garry Ingraham, author of -Am I Gay-- Coming Out of Cultural Christianity and LGBTQ- Identity into Authentic Faith in Jesus,- provides a raw narrative of growing up in the middle of the minefield, falling face down on the mines, and then finding Jesus at the end. Now, he's a dad, and he has some good wisdom for this audience. Some time is taken on how to shepherd the more sensitive boy with less-masculine characteristics without pushing him away.
Once we agree that God gets to determine ethics, that doesn't mean we're all going to be in hunky dory agreement with each other on how to make the right application. Paul warns about getting too tied up in quarrelsome matters relating to the law. Surely the Pharisees were good at it. Yet, we do not ignore the law. We still wish to love God and keep His commandments. So, how does this work when it comes to the matters of law over which sincere Christians disagree-- How does one determine the difference between the principle and the application-- The certain and the uncertain-- The camels and the gnats--
Kevin Swanson explains the everything bubble in simple terms. Since the year 2000, Americans borrowed -72 trillion from money created out of thin air-and they increased the pretended value of themselves by -65 trillion -in real estate and stocks-. The DJIA increased five-fold in 14 years. Is American industry producing five times as much as it was in 2009-- America has turned into a gigantic pretense-in economics, religion, and social integrity. But, as Christians we are pressed towards humility and genuineness on every level.
Taylor Swift is the biggest pop phenomenon since Michael Jackson, 117 Guinness World Records, the successor of the Beatles . . . and on and on the accolades go. She is pro-abortion, pro-gay, but most importantly, -pro-me.- She represents the current -I feel- zeitgeist better than anything. The me-centered, feelings-dominated modern male and female appreciate the worship services led by Taylor Swift-89,000 at a time. She also leads the world from decadence to despair, unlike any other popular cultural icon of the last half century. Christians teach just the opposite . . . hope, self-denial, and God-centeredness.
A Nigerian rapper in London tweets, -The West is -toast- if it loses its Christian foundation,- and Elon Musk sort of agrees. The rapper from Africa and the richest man in the world may have a point. The proportion of Christians was trimmed back 50 percent in Europe and North America over 100 years, while the East and South doubled its Christian percentage of the world population. But will civilization survive after jettisoning the foundations put in place over the period of 1,000 years--
Can a Christian fall into a marital affair, and is there a possibility for redemption and reconciliation-- Kevin Swanson speaks with Michael Gembola, Director of Blue Ridge Counseling Center and author of the new book -After an Affair-Pursuing Restoration.- What does true repentance and real restoration look like when the building has burned down and the construction has to begin anew--
The year 2023 marked the third wave of scandals that rushed over the American church-involving Hillsong and Kansas City. But this goes back into the 1980s, further down into the roots of movements that had suspect beginnings. What are the lessons to be learned from these modern sects and scandals-- Why are the roots and the founders important-- And what are these fruits by which we would know them--
AD 2024 comes in with a bang. But, what's that cracking noise-- We take a look at the trends, most significant findings from Gallup polls in 2023, and then produce eight predictions for 2024. Who will win the presidential election-- And, what will the Republicans do for us over the next two years-- And what in the world is happening with China--
What happened this year-- Every family needs to be aware of what is going on the world. Take 30 minutes and get the full summary. The bird's-eye view is helpful to understand where we are to go and what we are to do next. . . . It was a year of opportunity-the opportunity for a nation to repent and turn from its wicked ways. It was the year of big spending and unrestrained greed. It was the year of international tensions in the Middle East. It was the year China and Russia got cozy . . . power shifted east, and antagonism increased exponentially. It was the year of increased Christian persecution. . . . It was the year America lost the abortion battle. It was the year of Taylor Swift, and it was the year that Jimmy Buffett died.
The governor of Louisiana recently pardoned and released 40 convicted murderers onto the streets, foregoing the one most basic responsibility of the civil magistrate, which is to execute murderers. There has been an increase in state governors pardoning criminals and rebelling against God's design for government. A pro-death culture will always result in pro-death politics, whether it be support for abortion or the release of murderers back into the population. Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss this important topic on this edition of Generations.
If the BBC and the Discovery Channel believed in God, how would this change their view of the world and their productions on the wonders of nature-- What is the explanation for the ugliness, the cuteness, the wisdom, the intricacies, the variety, the power, and the beauty of the animal world-- Why are there poisonous snakes, predators, and parasites in the world around us-- Here is a discussion on how we might restore a sense of wonder, purpose, and an eschatological hope into our study of nature all around us.
Well-known evangelical theologian Wayne Grudem wants Donald Trump to pull out of the presidential race for the 2024 Republican nomination. We take a look at the leading candidates for the nomination on economics, life issues, and war state. But the important question to consider as we approach the election is whether the candidates fear God. And, why does God destroy nations-- We quickly review the reasons God destroyed Babylon, Assyria, Edom, and other non-covenant nations in the OT-something to consider as we approach the 2024 elections.
We wish the maximum meaningfulness for this Christmas for every one of our listeners. How does this compare to mere sentimentality and family traditions-- Be careful with the Christmas carols. They can leave you with mere sentiment if you're not careful. How about 31 reasons why Jesus came--
Our Lord Jesus Christ wasn't wild at heart. He wasn't a macho man. He wasn't a metrosexual, milque-toasty, or escaping and absent. We explore biblical masculinity on this program-the desperate need of every home and church-with David Murray from ChristianManAcademy.com.
These are difficult times, but then these are also some of the most phenomenal times for the kingdom of Jesus that we have seen in 2,000 years. The kingdoms of this world are passing away, but then the mission work of the Christian church has expanded around the world-more in the last century than the previous 19 combined. Here are reasons to be thankful and encouraged by what Jesus has done by the powerful work of His Spirit over these 2,000 years-
The Vatican has officially approved of blessings for couples who identify themselves as living in sexual perversion, one with another. What used to be conservative and traditional has now turned bad and rancid. Conservatism and traditionalism is not enough. Without a ground on the truths of God's Word, all ships are lost in this storm.
Freedom of speech doesn't make it past the US Supreme Court this time for Christian therapists. And, the kill-pill-by-mail program may not either. The US Supreme Court is favoring the leftist agenda on gay mirage and birth control. We haven't pulled out the party hats yet on the Dodds decision. Abortion rates are up nationwide this year, while there are a few states that are regulating abortion and might provide a ten-percent relief on the birth rates in these states. As long as the US Supreme Court protects the use of the IUD, the kill pill, and the day-after pill, there won't be much progress made in the killing children department in the US.
Studies have shown that a warm, consistent, disciplinarian approach to parenting is the best parenting style. This is the style that most conservative parents follow, and it makes for much happier, healthier, and stable future adults. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss this topic in this program.
Contrary to the hopes of 21st-century apostate Christianity, the Scripture doesn't shift its position on homosexuality from OT to NT in any fundamental way. Neither has 2,000 years of Christianity got it wrong . . . until Matt Vines showed up. We trace the meaning of the two key Greek words in 1 Corinthians 6-9, and tie 1 Timothy 1-10 into the Mosaic Law. No wiggle room here for the progressives.
The Washington Post continues its series of attacks on homeschooling-this time going after research studies on the effectiveness of home education in the US. Yet, favorability towards homeschooling among the American public is at an all-time high, and favorability towards public schools among the American public is at an all-time low. We point out that sociological studies on education and every other part of social life are fairly useless. How does one identify the best way to educate a child-- Go to God, the Source of all wisdom. Rely on God's Word as the highest form of wisdom in these matters.
Families raise chickens, goats, and cows. But why not sheep-- We catch up with the -Shepherdess.com- to discover how she went from -0 to -100,000 in three years with a small flock on thirty acres. Here's another excellent idea for a family economy in the 21st century.
The Federal Reserve and the other central banks have pretty much managed to mess up the world economy. When increasing your quantitative easing from -5 trillion in 2008 to -32 trillion just 14 years later . . . driving inflation rates into the stratosphere, with bond rates in the toilet, now how do you fix that- Man seeks ultimate control over systems. When governments find that they have fouled up everything with the controls already given them . . . now they seek increased levels of control to fix the problems they created for the world. The problem, he thinks, is that he didn't have enough control to begin with. He wasn't in absolute control. If he were in absolute control, everything would be wonderful. That's where central bank-controlled digital currency comes into play. Is this the mark of the beast or what- What should Christians do in such cases- --This program includes- --1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Holocaust survivors reunite in Florida after 79 years, Fox News hired Bruce Jenner to offer analysis, Worldview listeners' kids send cards to Judge Clarence Thomas- --2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
The US Supreme Court nominee is supposed to be the first black woman on the high court, but she's not sure what is a woman, or that she is a woman. Can Supreme Court nominees answer basic questions like, -What is a cat-- Or -What is a Judge-- Or -What is a woman----We consider Judge Ketanji Jackson's answers to the question when life begins, but it turns out she holds to two religions at the same time. One religion is okay with killing babies, and the other is not okay with killing babies.--So. . . how can one hold to these two diametrically opposed religions at the same time-. . .questions that make you go. . . -Wow----This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Finland dropped charges against Christian woman, Russian troops released Ukrainian-American pastor, Air Force denied 5,000 COVID-shot religious accommodation requests---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
What would constitute a healthy church---What's the core element or emphasis we are looking for at a time when humanism is raging as hard as it is in the church---It's a God-focus, a God-knowledge, a God-centeredness, vs. a man-centeredness.--But what does this look like- Here's an engaging conversation on what constitutes a healthy church on this edition of Generations.---This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Nigerian Muslims killed 50 Christians last week, Airlines want mask mandate to end, Idaho and Oklahoma move to protect babies---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Here is a follow-up to the program on the church that won't take the contra-mundum stance against the world on woke, feminism, humanism, humanist schools, sexual autonomy, etc. etc.--Here are eight reasons to leave a church, plus two, for the consideration of our listenership, and a bit on how to leave a church.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -DeSantis upholds parental rights, slams degenerates like Weinstein- Muslim Ugandans spray Christian family with acid- Former Hillsong Dallas pastor accused of rape, sexual misconduct---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Toy Story now goes totally woke, but the big story is the ends to which the -gay- Borg will go, in order to grab the hearts of the children. The Behind-the-Scenes story on the lesbian scene in -Lightyear- betrays the level of commitment to which the Zeitgeist applies to indoctrinating children. How do Christian families react to Disney and Pixar now- If there was any question ten years ago, now all Christian families are convinced this has all turned into a cess pool of woke and sexual perversion. But, will the churches take a stand against the cultural perversion in the schools and popular media---This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Urge Democrat Sen. Manchin to oppose Judge Jackson, New CA bill legalizes infanticide, Church bake sale raises -145K to help Ukrainians---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
We run through the last 100 years of New World Orders and demonstrate the futility of man's attempt to find peace without Christ. What is proposed here is a social order . . . a political order . . . a guarantee for world peace, and a better life for everybody. What is assumed by the UN charter is an -ethic- and -rights- we can all agree on, which we don't- and that human governments have the ability and the sovereign control over the outcome to bring about the objective . . . which they can't. The dollar is failing. Men's hearts fail them for fear. America is slipping from its position as -king of the hill- . . . Nahum 3 and Zephaniah 3 provide some helpful words for times like these. --This program includes- --1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Biden's female Supreme Court pick cannot define a woman, Atlanta Hillsong pastor resigns, Worldview listeners communicate outrage to Citi Bank- --2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Kevin Swanson attends the Bad Abortion Bill hearing at the Senate Judiciary Committee, and here's the take away.-There is no fear of God before their eyes, and--your story- is all that matters.--Whether you killed the kid or saved the child, -your story- is everything and they want to hear it. Sartre rules now.--Choice defines essence, which precedes existence. However, Sartre represents the decline of civilization, just a brief postponement of cultural suicide.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Senator- -When does life begin.- Jackson- -I don't know.-- Gov DeSantis declares Emma Weyant, a woman, the true winner- Samaritan's Purse Field Hospital treated 1,000 Ukrainians---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
While the faith is dying out in the Western world, some are rushing to water down the gospel in order to make it palatable for those running away from it. Will this watered-down gospel presentation produce any good fruit- Why not press the Gospel claims of Christ hard- Why not call men -sinners- and call them to repentance like Jesus and John the Baptist did- Why not make it hurt- Is this the time to water down the gospel- Or is it the time to present the Gospel with even more clarity and force- Evangelist Ray Comfort has taken the Gospel to the streets. His message has impacted millions, and he's known for his straightforward Gospel presentation. --This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Citigroup will pay for employees to travel to kill their baby, Michigan ordered to pay -250,000 over its push of -gay- agenda, 10 million Ukrainian refugees have fled---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Another Great Awakening comes about with the outrageously popular religion promoted by women shaking free of husbands, finding freedom in the all-about-me worldview. It's the ministry of Hester Prynne, first envisioned by Nathaniel Hawthorne in -The Scarlet Letter.- This program also takes a look at the positives and negatives involved with Charlotte Mason's teachings.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Disney-Pixar pushing homosexuality in new Toy Story film, Hillsong Church's Brian Houston is in more hot water, South Korea - Vietnam have record COVID cases despite high vaccinations---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
So, the feds used Christian leaders like N.T. Wright, Ed Stetzer, the Gospel Coalition's Joe Carter, Pastors Tim Keller, Rick Warren, and Russell Moore to push the party line on Covid Vaccines and protocol.--Pastor John MacArthur was out of the fellowship, and these other guys crowded in.--So what is the lure of statism for these Christian leaders, that they would snuggle up so close with the likes of Dr. Francis Collins- The rise of statism really is testing the hearts.--We also consider the question of strategy.--While we don't want to argue over strategy, what is the wise approach to addressing the rise of statism-----This program includes-----1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Muslims kill 52 civilians in Congo, Africa- UPENN female swimmer blasts male swimming against women- 'American Idol' contestant sings 'for the glory of God'-----2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
The U.S. economy is now in desperate straits, inflation is on the rise, and spending bills continue to pass through unnoticed by the vast majority of Americans. In this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan address the topic of economics and the importance of educating ourselves on these issues.
Andy Stanley airs his doubts about infallibility and authority of Scripture, but still wants to hold on to a shred of evidentialism for the Gospel of Luke. The slippery slope of evidential apologetics gives way to full bore faithlessness in the ongoing apostasy of the West. This gets us back into the basis for truth and the fundamentals of our faith.--Why believe God's Word- What is a good basis for believing something is true, especially when it comes to the fundamental questions relating to reality and the purpose of human existence---This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Zelenskyy to U.S. Congress- Help me with a no-fly zone, Indian Christian- -I will give up my life, but I won't deny Jesus-- , New Zealand court favored Christians who refused COVID-19 shot---2.

Here are the four killers of masculinity. While there's no silver bullet, except for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, here are some helpful guidelines for raising sons - five practical things you can do now.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Texas Supreme Court upheld Heartbeat pro-life Law, Pastors facing backlash for supporting Christian counseling for homosexuals, America authorized -200 million in defense spending for Ukraine---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Does the church do best under democracy or dictatorship- The star pastor phenomenon is fading fast, but what is the best form of leadership- What does the Bible require for leadership and accountability for leaders- We consider the biblical pattern of eldership and the role of the congregation in selecting leaders in the church.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Ukrainian pastor- 400 high rises damaged, people lack food - water, Congress approved 1,500 pork barrel projects or bribes, Mike Pence, with Samaritan's Purse, visits Ukrainian border---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Doomsday bunkers are selling like hotcakes in quite a few nations around the world. Terms like -Nuclear War- and -World War III- are being batted around now. Russia has enough nukes to wipe out at least 7- of the world's population.--Economics without the fear of God, science sans the fear of God is not producing a stable society anymore. Crisis is the moment that tests our worldviews - what do we really, really believe of the things we know about God and His Sovereignty---This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Poland - Hungary persecuted by EU over their Biblical stands, Dr. Dobson- Thank Gov. DeSantis for protecting parental rights---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Paul exhorts Titus to go after the Cretan sins because soundness in the faith must include a rebuke on societal sins and repentance. Alas, this is all but missing in churches that are strong on a narrow band of piety and externalisms. Pastors worth their salt must go after the sins of the day, the foundational worldview issues, critical race theory, economic sins, abortifacients, and the utter apostasy of the public school. Why do they avoid worthwhile controversies, while tripping over less-important matters- There is a tie-in between national and personal sins, national apostasy and the apostasy that creeps up into the families in our churches. --This program includes- --1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -CPAC cut all pro-life panels, Christian series 'The Wingfeather Saga' releases new trailer, Iraqi Christian TikTok personality killed by Muslim relatives- --2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
America is splitting down the middle on abortion, and the epistemological self-consciousness is only heightening as the reversal of Roe v. Wade approaches. The chasm between those who want to kill babies, slice them up, and sell off their body parts. . .and those that don't is growing. And the pollsters tell us the clustering element of voters -Republicans and Democrats- has quadrupled in eight years.--Republicans are moving away from liberal states to Republican states.--A nation divided against itself cannot stand.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Ernest Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, discovered-, Samaritan's Purse setting up Ukrainian hospital, DeSantis stands against perversion for pre-k-3rd graders---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Relationships are almost always in need of healing, but some have come out of World War III, and they suffer from relational PTSD to the fifth power. How does the Gospel bring about forgiveness, healing, and even reconciliation for extremely wounded relationships- Author Rob Rienow powerfully shares from his own experience of how God brings about amazing restoration, and provides the supernatural ability to forgive.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Biden bans Russian oil, Majority of Brits approve of sexual perversion, British Christian doctor allowed to help do abortion pill reversals---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Young minds can be formed by good, solid, Christian discipleship-or they can be formed by hundreds of fictional novels cranked off the presses . . . books that teach kids about the glories of death and the isolation of existentialist man. The books that receive accolades and awards feature witches, vampires, serial killers, abandonment, and death. Cain has a little production company east of Eden, and now the kids have become the target market. On this edition of the program, we discuss the importance of biblical worldview instruction and discernment in the area of leisure reading for our children. --This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Florida Surgeon General opposes COVID-shot for kids- Cruz- Let U.S. oil companies drill- Bible-believing Methodists launching new denomination---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
This age is made up of the ultimately skeptical, the cynical, and loss confidence in all things establishment - yet, still willing to believe that which is dubious to the extreme. What gives- When self becomes the greater arbiter and information is conceived as power to the individual, there is nothing that can harness his pride or certainty in self. We take up the question of the Book of Enoch, the Flat Earth hypothesis, and the dubious in general on this segment of Generations.----This program includes-----1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Tucker Carlson- -We overestimated Joe Biden.-, Governor DeSantis eager to sign pro-life bill, Voddie Baucham asked to accept nomination for SBC president-----2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Christian colleges took another hit from the US Supreme Court, and it doesn't look like Gorsuch or Roberts is doing them any favors -at least in the Gordon College case-. Will the Christian college commit to sacred knowledge or secular knowledge built up on human reason- The US Supreme Court is forcing the issue, finally after 800 years of Aquinas. Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court is moving towards 44- women leadership. And we observe that the Isaiah 3 curse is almost precisely what the whole world is experiencing now. Children are their oppressors.
The short tyrant's last-ditch, pitiful attempt to get empire status for Russia reminds us of that other short fellow and his last-ditch attempt to regain some stature for the French Empire in the early 19th century. We talk here of the wars of the nations, and the reasons why Europe, Russia, and the West are collapsing. It was Russia's fault. This nation has suffered the largest population implosion of all of them because of what happened in 1920, and Humpty Dumpty simply cannot reverse the destruction brought about by abortion and the pill. Based on population estimates, we provide a pretty solid sense of who rules the world in 2050.
The role of Christians in society -as salt and light- is fast changing. Our strategies are shifting. The War of Worldviews takes on more of a guerrilla-warfare character. And it's time to build Christian community, which starts with the local church . . . and at core-our worship. And you can't build a Christian community without Christian education. And what are the non-negotiables that must form the do-or-die basis for likemindedness- Here, Kevin Swanson grills Douglas Wilson on his new book, -How to Build Christian Communities that Save the World.- An interesting conversation, to say the least.
What may be said for the family that breaks out the wine and bread for holy communion- What about the patriarchal dad that takes over the function of the church in his home- Is this the dissolution of the entire jurisdiction of the church in the mind of the post-Christian West- Here is an argument for the existence of the church as the institution of Christ Himself. What distinguishes a church from a YMCA or Christians hanging out- We bring out all the descriptions of the visible church and the gathering of the saints, and the ordaining of elders in every city, and the necessity of church discipline.
Do we want Christian teachers bringing a Christian worldview and Christian evangelism into the public schools- Or is the goal to allow multiple religions to be taught in the public schools- Or should public schools be eliminated entirely, and education turned over to the family jurisdiction- Did the Apostles focus on a child evangelism program for children in public schools, or did they preach to parents and then encourage parents to disciple their children- Here are critical questions relating to the way we do things in the Christian church today.
Essential oil sales have grown massively in the past years. Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan address recent stories that have come out about Young Living essential oils. While we should thank God for the oils and plants that He has created, is there any reason for Christians to be wary when it comes to pseudoscience, essential oils, yoga, etc.-
Should the US join a world war to prevent Russia from taking over the Ukraine- How did America do in 72 attempts to change national governments around the world- We address the proposition that -if America ruled the world, we could fix all the problems.- We summarize the wars of the 20th and 21st centuries, and conclude with the real solution for achieving world peace.
A large part of a Christian's life is learning to be joyful and growing when trials knock us down. Kevin Swanson interviews Galen Horst, author of Chance - Change, a book about their family's journey through change, anguish, and providence. They address the importance of families growing together in faith and love for God, and in the midst of difficult times.
As Christian influence drops off worldwide, liberties are dissipating, and every pagan rite -like child sacrifice and sexual perversion- is on the increase in most nations. But the New York Times steps up to help us save evangelicalism, focusing on the social justice work of Tim Keller, Lecrae Moore, Beth Moore, and Russell Moore. And we're just not sure that's going to cut it.
Real scientists would say, -In God we trust. All else bring data.- But people are less and less interested in double-blind studies, probabilities, and alpha and beta risks. Why are liberals so committed to masks and far-fetched evolutionary hypotheses- A four-fold increase of evangelicals or religious fundamentalists in the US embraced evolution between 1988 and 2019. There was a time however, when real Christians produced real science and technology that blessed the whole world. Bottom line, real science and genuinely helpful technology was almost exclusively the product of Christians, followers of the Carpenter from Nazareth. Every person in the world who drives an automobile, carrying a watch, using eyeglasses, and taking advantage of semiconductors should thank a Christian every day of his life- or better yet, thank Christ for bringing light and life to the world.
Is there a place for moral outrage, a love for God and His righteousness- Does it help us to hear these reports of abortion, killing, sexual perversion, etc.- Do we need more rants about how bad things are- The prophets are criticized for their warnings and honest descriptions of the present evil age. But what is the proper reaction- Passivity- Paralysis- Depression- Vigilantism- Agitation- Anxiety- Despair- Political action- More endless harangues and deprecating commentaries on the radio- We resolve this question by urging confidence in God's sovereignty and God's perfect judgment, and the need for repentance and faith in a faithless and perverse generation.
The Fed has failed. Nothing can stop the inflation tsunami now, and there is no policy that can put Humpty back together after 40 years of debt, stimulus, quantitative easing, and lowering interest rates to almost zero. The hearts of men have failed them, and so has the US federal government. The money-god of Dagon has fallen, and all that's left is his torso lying on the steps of the Federal Reserve. Is God as concerned about stealing as He is about sexual perversion and child killing- We take a look at a compendium of verses in that vein.
It's a massive pandemic in the church, but recovery is possible. The problem has not subsided at all, but rather the opposite is happening. Author Jonathan Holmes provides a rescue plan, involving four angles-access, appetite, atheism, and anonymity. We take up important questions on this edition-How do you recover after a fall- What is fake repentance- What about battle weariness- Are you ready to commit to a 2-5 year, every day faith war-
When will Christians call Francis Collins, Fauci, et. al., to account for channeling millions of dollars into fetal tissue research projects- When will Christians call Francis Collins and others to account for rejecting the biblical account of Adam and Eve- The silence is deafening. Pragmatism is the ethical rule of the day when God's law is tossed out. The biblical argument against the use of murdered adults or murdered children for Nazi experiments may be found in Proverbs 1-10-16.
Several questions come up on this episode. Why were the Canaanites destroyed, given that they had no access to God's revealed law on incest, etc.- What should Christians think of In Vitro Fertilization and the much-increased risk of children dying- Is it a sin to adopt a snowflake child- What about GMO foods, and that formed out strange genetic manipulations- How will we ever recover science that fears God, away from the technocracy, the Frankensteins, and the pseudo-sciences of psychology, sociology, computer modeling, politically-correct science, and the other deformed spawn of the scientism-religionists-
As a civilization winds down, in God's providence, we hear the last of the prophetic voices still resonating through the asylums. He's been cast out of the Sanhedrin now, but the shock still remains. Jordan Peterson is unusual for his sanity, his sincerity, and his sobriety. He is quite sure that we are in a hand basket, and pretty sure where we are headed. He feels the guilt. He can even feel the heat from the furnaces of hell. But will he ever find Christ-
Fewer young men are in the workforce, and a huge percentage are still hanging out in their parents' basement at 34 years of age. What is this mollycoddling of our young men, but a soft approach to sin, a soft approach to righteousness, and a tepid or absent love for God- We provide the antidote to soft boys, narcissistic men, fake repentance, and the toleration of sin. We compare Saul and Samuel in their treatment of Agag.
What are your Valentine's Day plans- Why not watch a modern-retelling of the Biblical Hosea and Gomer love story in Princes Cut 3- Beauty from Ashes- You can catch it in a one-time streaming event on Monday, February 14th for just -11.--Guest host Adam McManus interviews Sheilah Munger, the North Carolina director, and homeschool mother of 9 children between the ages of 21 and 4.--Discover two delightful songs that Sheilah, and her husband Paul, sing to their children entitled -Do Right Till The Stars Fall- and John Bunyan's -He Who Would Valiant Be.- The Biblical principles articulated in those songs are writ large in this new Christian film.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -New Christian film, Princes Cut 3, debuts on Valentine's Day, CNN's -Behind China's Wall- examines human rights violations, Air Force must pay -230 million to church shooting survivors---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Caution- This may not be appropriate for your children. We apply Biblical Law to sexual sin, and the unfruitful works of darkness -now expanding into excusing pedophilia-. The world is turning increasingly amoral with no anchor left in a sea of ethical chaos. It's time for Christian pastors and parents to be on their game when it comes to sexual ethics. Society is unravelling, but we have the Word of God as the steadfast standard. --This program includes- --1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -GoFundMe is defrauding donors to Canadian truck convoy, Revelations of the worldwide abortion-law map, Former pastor pleads guilty to sexual sin with teen in Uganda- --2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
We address a few questions from our listening audience. Given the scandals and apostasies of Joshua Harris, Ravi Z., etc., what does a family do with their books and resources- Do they toss them- What about pastors who refuse to open their churches in Canada, or require a vaccine to attend church- Are we prepared for suffering and persecution- We end with the story of Vanya. --This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Are the Chinese using COVID to weaken Olympic competitors-, ABC suspended Whoopi Goldberg for bizarre Holocaust comments, Kenyan Christian apologist beaten---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
We do a meta-analysis of the Brian Houston-Hillsong worldview. We contrast Brian's books -You Need More Money,- -How To Maximize Your Life,- -You Can Change the Future,- and -There is More - When the World Says You Can't,- with the last 1,000 years of good Christian books. . .Martin Luther's Bondage of the Will, John Bunyan's--Pilgrim's Progress, The Imitation of Christ,--A.W. Tozer's--The Attributes of God-and The Crucified Life,--The Doctrine of Repentance, The Death of Death and the Death of Christ, An Alarm to the Unconverted, and The Mortification of Sin. Is there an obvious departure from anything that renders a slight semblance of the Christian faith here--The emphasis shifts from God to -You,- and the description of the Christain life shifts from suffering to success.---This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Biden's empty Prayer Breakfast rhetoric, Christian college caves to the culture's immorality, Chinese pastor arrested for holding sign to pray---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
In this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the Covid-19 pandemic, the lockdowns, and the people who helped make the extensive tyranny possible.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Army ready to discharge non-vaxxed- Feb 10th court case might trump Biden- Pro-abortion, pro-sodomy politician ousted from Conservative Party leadership- Jordan Peterson endorses Bible on Joe Rogan podcast---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
While Jesus wasn't a Marxist, He was still vitally concerned in how the temple elite was destroying widows houses and defrauding the people. Did He intend for everybody to sell all their goods and give it to the poor, as in the case of the Rich Young Ruler---Or was this guy tied up in so much fraud, he needed to start over again- Jerry Bowyer, author of -The Maker Vs. the Takers- What Jesus Really Said About Social Justice and Economics,- gives us a better view of what Christ thought about the corruption in His day, and our day.--This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Biden allows male inmates, pretending to be women, in with females- Texas Heartbeat law has saved 13,860 babies from abortion- Congo arrests wanted Kenyan Muslim terrorist---2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Only very briefly, we revisit Pompeii News or News from the Asylum -Fox News- on this edition of the program. This is what the end of a society looks like.---But don't forget, the collapse of empires is the best opportunity for decentralized discipleship centers and missions work, unlike any other times in history.--Huge opportunities await us, folks-----This program includes-----1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Worldview listeners gave -90,000 in food to Niger, African Christians- GOP legislatures rushing to outlaw abortion- Despite Trudeau's insults, Canadian freedom-loving truck convoy raised -9 million-----2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Yes.--We need more Christians in government.--But we don't need some Christians in government, because they have the wrong worldview, and they don't really help the situation much.--Bill Jack and Kevin Swanson talk about their experiences running for political office.--What's the agenda in politics- How do we prepare---How do we watch out for the heavy duty spiritual attacks that happen when you venture into the devil's playground---This program includes---1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus -Biden leading Trump - DeSantis in new poll, Canadian truckers oppose COVID-shot mandates, Heisman Trophy winner thanked -my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ----2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
Biblical justice and biblical economics are far different than the Marxist view. Here we review Tim Keller and Gustavo Gutierrez and their doctrine of liberation theology and social justice. Rendering grace or mercy to the poor is not a matter of justice. It is a matter of mercy. We contrast the world's motivation to work with a Christian's motive. Ultimately, rewards lie in the hand of God. Proverbs 1-22-The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. 1 Samuel 2-7-The LORD makes poor and makes rich- He brings low and lifts up.
Is the Gospel more important than politics- Is the Gospel more important than the position you take on God's law- Or, does compromise on God's law imply a compromise on the Gospel itself- We address the question of the relative importance of ethics to the Gospel. But what about leaving the church that votes for Biden- What are the big issues or the small issues when it comes to leaving a church- Should churches part ways on BLM, masks, and George Floyd- The leading Southern Baptist tells us we need to -stand for LGBT rights.- Does that mean the right to marry and adopt kids, or the right to a fair trial in a court of law-
Some stories of redemption present a sharper picture, especially when we come upon the stories of torture and abuse. This story is especially powerful, as God's redemption comes to a man who faced serious abuse as a little boy between his second and thirteenth year. The book is entitled -The Creaking on the Stairs.- Author Mez McConnell is pastor of Niddrie Community Church near Edinburgh. Nothing can address the pain, the confusion, the injustices, and the sheer evil of a world of abuse like the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the doctrines of God's holiness, His sovereignty, His judgment, and His propitiatory sacrifice of His only begotten Son. Here is a helpful testimony, and wisdom for how to minister to the abused in your families and churches.
While the nation tips into unprecedented disunity and instability, and gives way to the revolutionary spirit, how does the Christian respond- We point out two very deep ditches-worshiping the beastly state on the one hand, or despising authority on the other. Avoid both at all costs-
It was the largest leap in socialism in US history under Donald Trump and then continued under Joe Biden. For the last nine months, 75- of Americans have been on regular monthly welfare payments. What does this do to the character of the nation- How does this break the back of liberty . . . and the economy-
Like the Great Commission is important to us, the Commission to eliminate 90- of the world's population is important to the other religion. It is, in a real sense, their Great Commission. The over-population myth is firmly embedded at the most fundamental presuppositional level. Even Christians have bought into it, especially those who bought the recyclable -Green Bible.- We contrast the biblical worldview with that worldview which cannot trust God's absolute sovereign control and God's all-wise system of ethics -and the Noahic covenant- to sustain the world until judgment day. Well, they don't believe in the final judgment either, for that matter. The strategy to reduce the world's population remains the same-get the wealthy and materialistic. Self-centeredness, abortifacients, and abortion will take over from there.
Without question, the most banned book in history is the Bible. With the communists, the Nazis, the Canadians, and the American libraries, the problem is with the social and ethical system presented by Scripture. God's Word just cramps their style. Sometimes, it's just a few verses. Other times, it's just a few words, as in the case of the New RSV. Don't forget that Tyndale was burned at the stake over six words contained in his English translation-
Mind-blowing. Extraordinary. Extremely intricate, endlessly beautiful, genius-level designs appear in nature and mathematics that were not discoverable until the 1980s and 1990s. We discuss fractals and other amazing phenomena in science and mathematics with Dr. Jason Lisle.
Two issues are addressed on this edition. Attempts to impose a modern ethic over Scripture results in a whacked translation of 1 Corinthians 6-9 for the New RSV. Here is how worldview impacts language and translations of the Bible. Bottom line. . . human languages must bend to the biblical worldview, and better translations should follow. But, what happens when the Bible and its translations are made subject to the worldviews of post-Christian or anti-Christian cultures- Then, we ask the question, to what extent should we deal with arguments and polemics- When conservatives are marked more by what they hate, than what they love, we have the problem of Ephesus. We are called to hate. . . the deeds of the Nicolaitans, whoever they were. But, more importantly, we are called to love. . . Jesus.
Your paycheck is docked. Inflation is running 10-14-. Your savings account is losing 7- per year. And your conservative bond investments you bought 10 years ago have lost about 15- in value--4 trillion in 10 years. But the good news is that the government gave you -3,200 during COVID. Average earnings have fallen since April of 2020-a 5.4- dock in pay. Ironically, the average annual paycheck has been docked -3,670 because the COLA's aren't keeping up with the CPI -let alone the real inflation index-. Here is an encouragement at least to Christian employers that they inform their employees that their pay is being decreased for the work they do. Keynes admitted that inflation is an insidious, destructive economic force that not one man in a million could detect. We just hope that the 14-year-old kids that listen to this program will know what is happening.
A Baltimore man is the first to receive a genetically-modified pig heart. And, Al Mohler tells us there is no reason for Christians to reject it. Or. . . is there reason- Would it be appropriate to apply Leviticus 19 to such a case- This Frankensteinian science sans the fear of God might even force us to use biblical law to assess such strangeness. The 21st century produced children born of three parents, artificial insemination, surrogate wombs, millions of disposable -snowflake- children, human-animal hybrids, artificial wombs, and innumerable other monstrosities. Have we equipped the man of God for this weirdness-
Christian charity changed the world, and then Karl Marx showed up. Americans still provide 1.44- of the GDP in charity. We're still the most generous nation on earth, but that's dropped off by half since 1924. Church giving has dropped off from 2.8- to 0.7- of the GDP since 1924. And most of church offerings go to clergy and buildings, while governments assign 20-30- of the GDP to social programs. Private church and the church were basically irrelevant in the area of true Christian charity.
Is atheism dead yet- Eric Metaxas argues the point that the atheist position carved out in the Post-Christian West has actually become increasingly untenable.-Atheism has become more anti-Intellectual or even anti-rational. How would Charles Darwin take the constant stream of evidence countering his far fetched hypothesis of advanced life forms evolving out of the inanimate over millions of years- While we wouldn't agree with the atheistic evolutionary construct, there are still internal contradictions that cannot be resolved by the committed atheist.
Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the use of the birth control pill today. The pill is known to cause abortions, but why are a large percentage of Evangelical Christian women on it today- Should God's laws mean something to us today-
The internet is a blessing and a curse. . . a double-edged sword. There are the misguided, the unqualified, the imbalanced, the downright unhealthy and cultic, everything from the sublime and ridiculous. We give a few examples of scripture-stretching and sweeping generalizations that prove unhealthy for the churches, and then outline nine basic principles of sound hermeneutics for the layman.
Why do 95-- of the top selling evangelical female authors in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 tout failed marriages and broken families- This thing is way off the tracks-the dysfunctional leading the dysfunctional into. . . even more dysfunctionality. While not pointing fingers directly at one particular author, we uncover the systemic problems with the whole edifice. Why do we keep pointing back to Psalm 11- The solution to the problem is simple- The Lord is in His holy temple. His eyelids try the children of men.
Ted Cruz's daughter doesn't like her father's policies, but what about President Obama's daughters and President Bush's daughters- Francis Schaeffer's son Frank is still unhappy with his father. But, while not delving into specific problems with a particular family, we go over the reasons why the hearts of the fathers and daughters-sons break down, and generational fractures develop.
Christians are the last hope for political, economic, and social freedoms in the world. But in the present decline, how will a family pass a legacy of Christian liberty on to their children- While Christian liberty is not the freedom to sin, this liberty does begin with freedom from sin. It is only at this point that a true passion for liberty grows in the heart, to the point that we can advocate liberty in a world that is headed towards tyranny. Join the Family Vision Conference in Phoenix, Arizona on February 17-19, 2022.
Russian President Vladimir Putin complains about the undermining of traditional family and faith by the abominations of the West. He's not pleased that Western values -or the lack thereof- are seeping into his country. However, Russia's Bolshevism already ruined the family a long time ago, and then, the Chinese communists quite successfully ruined the family, and then, the West's Gramscian Marxism went ahead and ruined the family out here. Given the utter devastation these Marxists have brought to the East and to the West, is it too late to salvage any of these civilizations- What can possibly reverse the birth implosions and the social destruction brought about by the Marxist zeitgeist of the last century-
Given the present turmoil and the impossibility of returning to some sort of status quo, now how are we going to proceed with politics, the economy, and the church- How do we prepare for the great downturn in economics- And what about the church- There is a desperate need for three things- Discipleship. Preaching. The restoration of real worship.
After this year. . . the world will never be the same. Here is a bird's-eye view of the stunning, once-in-a millennium, earth-shaking transitions going on in 2021. Things have not settled out yet. We are still in the middle of it. But, here is a helpful summary of what God did, and what He is doing with our world. Persecutions. Devastating national coups. Economic chaos. Unprecedented national disasters. What in the world is happening on planet Earth- Here is an eye-opening summary of nations on fire . . . a world in turmoil.
We approach the question of conspiracies with a great deal of caution, given that there are so many theological and life-application traps surrounding the matter. How do scientists know that there are, or that there are not, long-term effects from vaccines- With what epistemological authority-confidence could we ever make such an assertion- Nonetheless, there are still some short-term studies available from which families can make some decisions. Then, we answer the question as to whether there are evil people in government, and the extent to which these people exist. We know by their own testimonies as to their evil intent. But how could we know the extent to which they exist- Where do we cross the line into far-fetched surmising on questions like this-
He gave his life for the English Bible, and we have a great deal we owe this man. But who was William Tyndale, and why was he a wanted man, and finally burned at the stake- Kevin Swanson interviews author and pastor Steven Lawson -also the editor of the Long Line of Godly Men book series-.
How America has changed- What was once a country filled with men of character and faith has turned into a country filled with flakes. What was it that made men like Rockefeller, Henry Ford, the McKinleys, and Sam Walton different from the richest men in America today- There is no more character left, and America is falling apart at the seams as a result. So what does one do when he has reached the end of civilization- What is the solution- First, turn to Jesus Christ and acknowledge Him as Lord. Then find unity around the truth to form islands of freedom.
Anti-conversion laws are proliferating in India, Nepal, Yemen, Canada, and Australia. Fundamentalist Humanism and Islam forbids conversion to Christianity, but why is homosexuality such a sacrament to modern humanist autonomy- Should Christian psychologists seek out neutral ground on religion and ethics, as encouraged by men like Dr. Earl Warren Throckmorton of Grove City College-
As we celebrate this Christmas 2021, we review once more the accomplishments of this great King. Can we really say that Kings and Queens will kneel before Him- What did Christ do for the world over these 2,000 years, with the aid of His followers- What would the world be like if Jesus had never been born-
Back in 1980, only 6- of all deaths were due to food, alcohol, drug abuse, and suicide. Now, 21- of all deaths are -Despair deaths.- Now, the U.S. leads Japan and most of the rest of the world in Despair Deaths. But why so much despair in a post-Christian nation- We also discuss the civil government's role in protecting us from ourselves.
Hurricanes. Tornadoes. Stock Market Crashes. More billion-dollar catastrophic events in the last two years, than anything experienced in American history. Do we have a responsibility to know the signs of the times, assuming that all of God's works are judgment- Jesus condemned the Jews for forecasting the weather, but refusing to read the other signs of the times. What can we learn by studying economic trends and recognizing the sovereign hand of God in world events-
A Columbia University study finally gets the best estimate thus far on the Vaccine-induced Fatality rate. . . and survey says the COVID -vaccine- is at least 4 times, and as much as 10 times, more fatal than the COVID-19 virus itself. Yet, world governments are bound to mandate the vaccine for children as well as adults. The unvaccinated are increasingly ostracized now, and the -yellow star- seems almost inevitable for the last hold-outs. Could this be a worldwide deception, and will this tyranny ever abate- And how does this now-famous Bill Gates quote tie in to tall of this- -The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.- What kind of vaccines does he have in mind that reduce the population- Islands of freedom are being carved out, but where will you find them- Listen and find out here.
After monitoring political freedom worldwide, the large think tanks Freedom House and Heritage Foundation have to conclude that freedom is disappearing worldwide. In fact, one metric finds a constant downward trend for freedom indexes since 2005. We know why. Freedom doesn't have a chance in the world unless the salt returns somehow, somewhere. When will Christians bring back the salt- Get ready to put your grandchildren in gulags and prison camps, unless something changes. . .
Last year, the FBI recorded a 30- increase in the murder rate-the largest year-to-year increase in recent American history. School shootings have seen a steady increase as well. We analyze the motives of kid killers, and give a few reasons why the love of so many has grown so cold in our day. However, the majority of these kids who kill are back out on the streets pretty quick. Only 3-9- get life in prison. What are the biblical solutions to the rising violence- What can parents do to mitigate these out-of-control situations-
Practically the whole world has gotten obese since 1975 by a factor of 300-400-, and COVID would have been far less of a problem in 1975. Why does God ordain for COVID-19 to come now, when 75-80- of the serious cases are weight issues- Eliminating this factor, COVID death rates are about the same as the flu for the 65- crowd, and COVID is far less lethal for the under 40-crowd. The Stage 2 Obese group is hospitalized at a rate of 42 per 10,000, the Stage 1 Obese group at 23 per 10,000, the Overweight group at 18 per 10,000, and the normal weighted group at only 13 per 10,000. That's a sample size of 340,000 taken in the UK. We discuss the problem and sins attendant to obesity on this edition of the program.
The question of the evolution of man is the Battle of Thermopylae in the War of the Worldviews. Who is this Lucy- And was the Neanderthal a human- What about the South African Homo Naledi- Does the genome point to Eve- And did she live 400,000 years ago or 6,000 years ago- Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Terry Mortenson for a careful, rational assessment of whatever data is found in the bone fragments, and the latest research on the Genome project. Can we trace the genome back to our original mother Eve- And what are the genetic differences between apes and humans-
The question of resisting or playing along with the system comes up more and more, especially as the system plays an increasingly intrusive role in our lives. Shall we require our 12-year-old children to take the shot- Or more to the point, shall we sign up for welfare payments, or what about Social Security and Medicare- To what extent does a Christian participate-
The public school system is collapsing with the encouragement of sexual anarchy, fighting, and ethical chaos. Discipline is practically impossible now. So what happens when tyranny can't handle the anarchy- But, how do Christian families deal with fights and conflicts in the home- We discuss spanking, behavioral modifications, and how God wants us to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.-
Americans are dealing with a 50- pay cut since the 1980s, and a 10- pay cut this year. . . but hardly one in a hundred people will figure it out. We explain how a nation is run by a gang of thugs, but then, almost everybody is involved in the dishonesty. What happens when the economy has turned into one gigantic Grab Fest-
Persecution has hit the Christian-owned flower shops, the bakers, and photographers in the West. . . but now pastors- Finnish law enforcement and courts are concluding that the Bible is hate speech. And a pastor is about to pay for using the Bible still. At least 30 churches still teach the faith in Finland to a minimal degree, such that they would uphold the basics of a Biblical ethic. America has stronger foundations in liberty, and we have a shot at the faith surviving here-but only if people will stand up and speak the truth boldly.
Major scientific breakthroughs do not happen every day. They require a combination of inspiration, perspiration, and, of course, the mercy of God. This particular medical invention has contributed to saving millions of lives. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the first Human Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machine in 1977. Dr. Damadian gives God the glory for this amazing technological breakthrough. Was this the reason he was refused the Nobel Prize in 1984- This story will be a true inspiration to every Christian and to every young person who wants to discover something amazing in God's great universe. At the end of the program, Dr. Damadian shares the secret of what it takes to produce an invention of great import.
The sheer force of the spirit of the age upon Christian colleges, churches, etc., is enormous. Who do we fear- Where is faith- Evangelicalism measures faith by superficial externals-passion, primal screams, image, the well-put-together makeup, the cool clothing, and a few religious cliches, and -encouraging- memes. But what does real faith look like in the present faith crisis-
The assumptions of systemic racism and the virtues of social justice are increasingly accepted without criticism by higher education. But Grove City College capitulating- That was pretty much the last bastion of critical thinking and a Christian worldview in America. We are amazed at the quick progress made by the Gramscians and anti-Christian forces in almost every institution of our day. The paralyzing fear of offending. . . the snowflakes, the race baiters, the social justice warriors, the BLM crowd. The surrender to irrationality at the university level is mind boggling. Is it time to chuck the liberal arts college and return to a mentorship model-
A very public figure with a huge amount of influence in the Christian world and secular world, Dr. Francis Collins has also become something of a key prototype for the worldview apostasy going on among evangelicals and even pro-life Christians. He is the most famous theistic evolutionist in the country. He's the most famous Christian encouraging the vaccine in the country. He's the most famous Christian scientist endorsing homosexuality. . . and now, the most famous Christian in favor of using an aborted baby for medical research. Is there a connection between these aberrant positions- Should Christian conferences and ministries include Dr. Collins' organization BioLogos in their offerings- And, why is Pastor Tim Keller the go-to theologian for the BioLogos organization-
It may have been the most important oral-argument hearing at the U.S. Supreme Court in our lifetime, as SCOTUS took up the Mississippi case today. Will babies be murdered for the next fifty years in this country- This was the best shot for those who wanted to salvage a nation. We take a blow-by-blow analysis on this historic hearing. Will the Supremes reverse Roe v. Wade- Amy Coney Barrett is the swing vote this time, but nobody's interested in providing the unborn child a right to life by the 14th Amendment. And what in the world does the 14th Amendment say about the -right to kill a baby-- You might get a new line drawn, limiting abortion from the 24-week mark back to 15 weeks, but that won't put a dent in the 14 million abortions occurring every year in this country -via the IUD, surgicals, and chemicals-.
Much of the problems with our governments today tie-in to a wrong view of economics. Why are our leaders so bent on destroying our economy and civilizations- Here, Calvin Beisner gets down into the foundational principles of economics, and explains the difference between a secular view and a biblical view.
Without exaggeration, we are looking at the greatest heist of all time. How did the most socialist governments in U.S. history succeed in redistributing the wealth into the pockets of the top 1- of the population- All animals are equal, but somehow, it always turns out that some are more equal than others. But what about cryptocurrency- Will this be a turn back towards honest money, or is this the worst investment in all of economic history- Is cryptocurrency a one last-gasp possibility for decentralized control and liberty- Liberty is only possible by self-government, and the nation has yet to return to a state of self-government, strong families, and civil virtue. Ain't happening now.
As the Christian West collapses and the Christian salt loses its savor, the remnant is at a loss for the agenda. We have reached crisis point. Where do we go from here--Does Marvin Olasky have a point, calling us to the role of peacemaker with the transgender agenda, etc.--Is the Christian role at this point to avert civil war, or to join one side or the other- The entire framework is changing. Here we realize that we are shifting from an ideological head-on war to more of a guerrilla war of ideas. The world is on fire. This isn't the 1980s anymore. This is not the time for compromise on basic ethics. This is not the time for synthesis. But, does this mean that the Christian agenda is to re-elect Donald Trump- Is it time to join Q-Anon and the local patriot groups- Above all, this is the time for wisdom, and we attempt to share a little here on this edition of the program.
When Christian conservatives and Republican Congressmen join the chorus of those casting gigantic curses at the president of the United States, what must we say- Are we cheering a race car driver, mocking an NBC interviewer, or cursing the president- The question deserves an answer, with this -Let's go Brandon- chant. We are finding a rhetorical anarchy and an unravelling of common decency at the highest levels and the lowest levels of society-and among Christian conservatives. Are we discerning the times well, folks-
On this Thanksgiving Day 2021, we review God's amazing blessings on entire economies. How did we come to receive a median family income 30-times that which people were recipients of over 5,800 years of world history- The blessings came by Christ. . . far as the curse is found-
The vaccine mandates are not dead yet, and neither are masks. However, the good news is that the dust is clearing a bit, such that real data is surfacing finally. We take a moment to review the objective data available for the denominators on the death rate, making comparisons with more severe flu seasons. How does it measure up- We also touch on what churches should do that are facing national and denominational pressure to shut down in-person meetings.
The Marvel Universe is passing away with its lusts thereof, and so is Harry Potter and Dumbledore and the rest. How quickly the worldling faded with all his boasted pomp and show- Even JK Rowling takes her place. . . under the bus, on the twentieth anniversary of the franchise. We spend a little time talking through the -Eternals- Worldview, and then outline the general contours of the decline of a culture. The world passes away with its lusts, but he who does the will of God abides forever.-
Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Jerry Newcombe, Executive Director of the Providence Forum, about his new documentary entitled The Pilgrims which will air on the NRB Channel tonight, November 22, at 8-00pm ET. You can also rent-stream it for -6, purchase-stream it for -10, or get the DVD for -15.
With the exception of evangelicals, the peoples from every other church tradition are between 50- and 60- pro-abortion. Why did the churches surrender moral authority on this issue- The Church has an obligation to excommunicate those who knowingly support the killing of innocent children in this country. This was the Christian commitment dating back to Pastor Ambrose and Emperor Theodosius in the 5th century. What are we saying when a church in New Guinea won't take a stand against cannibalism- What are we saying when a church in America won't take a stand against abortion- What are we saying when a church that meets in a prison won't take a stand against bank robbery and serial killing- What are we saying when the church won't oppose the female draft-
The Rittenhouse story has legs to it, and the nation is riveted by this young man and his self-defense case in the Wisconsin courthouse. Without adjudicating the case, we carefully analyze the biblical principles tied into it, and provide general applications to young men. . . to include a thoughtful consideration of the wisdom of Johnny Cash-Don't Take Your Guns to Town.
Here we grapple with the fundamental question of how to engage with a post-Christian'ish culture. How do we equip our children to know the Christian worldview, to communicate an apologetic, and engage positively in an increasingly anti-Christian culture- How do they think, live, and speak in the world about them-
A listener asks the question- -So many of the Christians I speak with today are willing to just roll over, get the shot, hand over their guns...whatever the -authorities' demand on the basis of Romans 13. I know we have to respect authorities as they have been instituted by God but I also believe that we have to resist tyranny. Can you offer any clarification regarding the application of Romans 13 and whether or not this is a blanket statement calling us to submit to any-all authority or am I missing something in terms of context or interpretation-- An extended discussion ensues on this question- When do we disobey- Or should we rather obey-
With the insane amount of spending over the past decades, America is well on its way to an economic depression. In this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack address the oncoming wave of inflation as they speak to what Christians should be doing to prepare for this massive upset in our economy.
Regrets, second thoughts, and a distinct cooling effect are defining some of the Joshua Generation-the first cadre of homeschool graduates. The ra-ra, do-hard-things, take-America-back revolution seems to have fizzled out a bit for Alex Harris and World Magazine, not to mention brother Joshua Harris. This introduces an interesting discussion on puritanism and separatism, taking America back, pessimistic eschatology, salt and light, and the distinct desalination of evangelicalism today.
The enemy has tossed another slippery term into the mix, causing Christians consternation, dividing churches, and making more room for homosexuality. What in the world does -Same-Sex Attraction- mean- There are three to four different definitions, but the obfuscation is purposeful. Why are evangelicals so committed to the position that -Same-Sex Attraction,- -Incestuous Attraction,- etc., is not a sin- Four reasons here. How does a person repenting of homosexuality get in a biblical church- Here are some important pointers that churches should follow, especially in an age of mass apostasy.
As the nation swerves more and more out of control, the civil magistrate abandons its obligations to maintain order in society. The legalization of shoplifting in San Francisco is only a slight example of the larger problem. But the most refreshing indication is that Christian news organizations are finally appealing to the Bible in two instances to buttress their -biblical world and life view.-
The Bible warned us about false prophets and teachers-wolves that come for the sheep. This warning is just as prevalent today as it has been at any time in the past. So much of modern Evangelicalism has stumbled thousands, focusing on fluff and personal revelations, rather than the solid substance of God's Word. On this edition of the Generations Radio program, Kevin Swanson interviews Justin Peters of Justin Peters Ministries about the fake Gospel that is so prevalent in today's world, and what Christians need to be doing to focus back on the truth of God's Word.
The World Leaders have almost total unanimity on a green agenda now, with wayward nations repenting of their failure to support the Emperor's New Clothes Initiative. We mosey up to the microphone to ask a few more pointed questions of the wizards that peep and mutter. . . . So what's the downside of more carbon dioxide- And how sure are you of that- How is the average global temperature of the last 40 years different than 1850, 1750, 1650, 1550, and 1450- And how sure are you- Did you have 50,000 thermometers, all carefully calibrated, getting good data- Did you have enough thermometers down in the Mariana Trench in 1350, checking data- What contributes to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere- And how sure are you of that- And one more question . . . Is this green agenda just plain insanity, or is it engineered to destroy the world economy-
A Cato Institute report concludes that Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world. But why- What are the forces lined up against the Christian faith- For International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, here is a summary of the most serious challenges facing the church in 2021.
It was a major national stage for the parental rights issue in the state of Virginia. MSM is telling us parental rights was the hinge point for the Republican win. Parents are up in arms over Critical Race Theory and Sexual Perversion in the schools. And parents, family, sensible morality is making a little bit of a comeback. What makes Critical Race Theory inherently destructive within modern society- How must Christians engage this handgrenade, and defuse it-
Sins of the tongue is an everyday challenge in our homes. Sometimes the bickering, the tattletale-ing, and whining is getting out of control. How do parents handle this in the home- Here are some practical aids and balanced biblical disciple-ing tips for every parent dealing with this 7-24's.
Campaign donations or bribes- Government favoritism for Elon Musk. Big Pharma has increased from -20 billion to -310 billion per year, and Pfizer, J-J, and the rest are benefiting big time by government mandates. The high-level occupation is far more sophisticated than the dime-a-dozen bribes collected by petty bureaucrats in third-world nations. How do you fix all of that- How do you rebuild freedom and integrity into a system this messed up- The answer is self-government.
U.S. college registration had fallen by 4 million in ten years, a 600,000 drop in one year. At this rate, college attendance will halve in ten more years. Some 60- of 25-44-year-old workers in the force are saddled with debt. And the average debtor will spend a minimum of 6 years paying off the debt. For the college debtor of 1975, the average debtor could have paid it off in 9 months. Can you hear the dearth knell of the liberal college- Is it time to go back to the Jesus method for training pastors, instead of using the liberal arts college to manufacture proud, corrupting man-worshipers-
We tell the macabre story of the HEK 293 aborted fetus and the use of the harvested kidneys of the little girl for the Johnson and Johnson Vaccine, and a host of other -wonderful- uses in this Brave New World. Then, we interact with Christian evangelical leader Al Mohler's position on the use of the aborted fetal tissue cell line, and his encouragement to -get the shot.-
What has the world turned into- What have we become, in just two short years- How did Big Pharma and Big Government respond, and what effect has this had on the peoples of the Western world- Here we present the indisputable facts concerning COVID. There is quite a lot to debate. But these are the broad strokes-the clear trajectory of a world without God.
Homeschooling is looking better and better to a large percentage of Americans. Public schools have reported a 6- plunge in enrollment this year-even larger than last year. Here we address the myths, misconceptions, and negative stereotypes attached to home education with Yvette Hampton, host of the new film, School House Rocked. You can purchase tickets to watch the new film at https---watch.schoolhouserocked.com.
At this point, there is no hope in sight for reversing the deterioration of the fertility rates around the world-especially in Europe, America, and China. But why are the young people afraid to have babies- The hype of climate change, overpopulation, and disease has got them freaked out. How does actually believing in God and maintaining a biblical worldview completely reverse this attitude-
Evangelicals are losing members at a slower rate than the liberals, but will the big rush to liberalize into a big tent result in a smaller tent after all- We interact with William Lane Craig's new book and his rejection of the creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 as real history. But if you jettison the history of Genesis 1-11, why not jettison the history of Christ's resurrection in Luke 24- The breach of faith occurs at the failure to receive the epistemological authority of the Word of God.
Evangelical Christian leadership in America are dutifully encouraging us all to just give in and get -the shot.- Earlier this week, Pastor John Piper urges us to take advantage of our freedom in Christ, and -get the vaccine.- What- What's that mean- We are, says Pastor Piper, free from fear of peer pressure to get the shot, trust the science, trust the government, and trust the data. Isn't the fear of pressure coming from political institutions, risks of losing your job, etc. a little more of a potential problem than fearing those few people who aren't getting the shot- Should we be more insistent to obtain a margin of freedom from big government mandates than grabbing onto the -freedom- to put fetal-tissue derived cell lines and foreign mRNA concoctions into our veins- Shall we be more concerned about big government control than nasty microbes like Smallpox and COVID- That's what the older Christian leadership -as for example, Abraham Kuyper- used to say. And where is this thing going- If government has control over what chemicals you put in your body. . . the government can force you into abortifacients, day afters, and chemical abortions. Are you ready for this-
The lemmings continue to invest in thin air, and now space settlements and frivolous trips into space. The present age has abandoned that which is sensible, stable, valuable in the economy. At the highest level of finance, our nation has abandoned real dominion over the earth for fantasy and pipe dreams. We examine the motives for space travel and space settlements on the Planet Mars, and compare that with a biblical metaphysic and teleology.
For 1,500 years, cremations disappeared in Christian countries. But, last year cremations outnumbered burials in America for the first time. We look at the recent history of cremation, and then ask the question, -Is it a sin to cremate-- Does the Bible ever allow for it- The more important question however is this. . . Why would you want to cremate your loved ones-
How much of the pro-life movement or conservative movement in politics has been a sham- Why do Christians support the legal position that some blacks cannot have equal protection under the laws or some babies must not get equal protection under the laws- Argumentation for Roe v. Wade in Texas courts surrounded the question of whether a mother could ever be prosecuted for murdering her child. Why will Christians still surrender the high-ground principle on the issue-
Time Magazine's list of the most influential people makes up a group of do-nothings or been-nothings. But, who are the most powerful people who are doing the most damage to the world- We contrast the world's heroes with God's heroes in the hall of faith at the present.
The average U.S. household has lost about half of its income by inflation since 1975 if you account for the massive increase in median housing prices, median new car prices, education, and medical insurance. The official CPI and PCE measurements don't even come close to the real story. Here we demonstrate how the median household income is about half of what it was in 1975, adjusted for the real inflationary increases in prices. The government is lying to you.----We take another look at the Brave New World's addiction to the use of aborted fetus cell lines for tasting Pepsi products and testing Tylenol.
Superman is going through a sexuality reassignment, as the Pied Piper continues his march through Hamelin. But now, Congress is concerned about Facebook and its negative influence on teenage girls. Is Facebook killing our children, and what is Congress to do about it- Shall we move on with government censorship, or might parents be responsible- More fundamentally, why is the world so interested in such destructive mediums-
Over the last two years, many of the states have moved to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day, or with some hybrid. The erasure of 2,000 years of Christ in the Western world is almost complete, while the indigenous religions are coming back. Neil Young celebrated the human-sacrificing, pagan cults of the pre-Christian era with his music contributions, and now the state governments are bringing it back. But, what was it that marked pagan civilizations and their demise- The same earmarks are seen here, now.
When we abandon the fear of God in the science classroom, catastrophes ensue. We see this in China, where they have recently produced mice from two moms-with a survival rate of about 15-. What do Christians say about these types of -science-- What does God say about it- What is the true purpose of science and the study of God's created order- We discuss these questions on this edition of the Generations' broadcast.
On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Author and Pastor Scott Brown on vaccine mandates. Should Christians resist tyranny- Who ultimately has the authority over what we put in our bodies- These questions and more are addressed in this program.
When Eli's sons come out with their particular sexual orientation, should Eli have supported them- We take a look at the Focus on the Family counsel for families whose children -come out- and announce their proclivity towards homosexual lusts. We also answer the question regarding whether parents should support a young man who wishes to pierce his ears. What shall we say to parents who want to encourage their sons in effeminacy-
As of last week, the richest man in America is. . . Elon Musk. His company is overvalued by a factor of 200-fold. His only profit comes by regulatory credits. . . i.e., extortion from more honest car companies. How in the world did this guy's wealth increase from -25 billion to -200 billion in just a year- How are the economic policies of the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve, and the richest men in America impoverishing the nation, while enriching the richest 400 people in the country- We compare the new breed to the Henry Fords, Sam Waltons, and Rockefeller's of an earlier generation.
The recent exponential increase in options trading is one more indication that Wall Street has been redecorated as a casino. For the first time in history, options trading exceeds honest investment in companies doing business making useful things for human existence. It's all gambling now. And a whole aircraft carrier full of drunken sailors have been let loose into the casino. What's the difference between gambling and investment- Kevin Swanson presents at a pedestrian level, or a 14-year-old comprehension level, the ins and outs of honest investment, day trading, and options trade. He provides six rules for investing in the stock market.
Radio Talk Show host Dennis Prager asks the question, -Who would hide a Jew today should the Nazis or Commies take over-- -Who would hide Christians-- is probably the more appropriate question. His answer is, -Christians.- It was Christians who were hiding Jews, and the eccentric. . . those not likely to accept the state as god on earth. What about those Christian evangelical leaders like Tony Evans and Max Lucado who make room for the Equality Amendment and a vote for Joe Biden- What about those who won't stand against the state requirements to shut down churches for 6 months to a year at a time-
Tired of the politically correct lies that your kids are receiving through the culture- Lies like boys can be girls, babies are expendable, and Communism is better than capitalism.----Guest host Adam McManus interviews Elizabeth Johnston, the Activist Mommy, about her precious new children's book called Little Lives Matter, which affirms the sanctity of life.----Published by BraveBooks.us, it's part of a monthly series of children's books which tastefully tackle the great cultural issues of our day from a Biblical perspective.----The first book released was entitled Elephants Are Not Birds, which rejects the transgender foolishness of the culture. And the most recent one is entitled The Island of Free Ice Cream.
On July 23rd, France virtually banned home education. In light of President Joe Biden's ill-conceived vaccine mandate through businesses with 100 employees or more, is it possible that America will once again become hostile to the freedom to home educate---Guest host Adam McManus interviews Christian musician Francesca Battistelli on today's edition of Generations Radio. This real-life homeschool mother of five portrays a homeschool mother of two in the latest installment in the -God's Not Dead- Christian film series. -God's Not Dead- We the People- hits the silver screen for three days only -- Monday, October 4th, Tuesday, October 5th, and Wednesday, October 6th. Watch the movie trailer and purchase your tickets at www.godsnotdead.com for this three-day, limited release.
He gave his life for the English Bible, and we have a great deal we owe this man. But who was William Tyndale, and why was he a wanted man, and finally burned at the stake- Kevin Swanson interviews author and pastor Steven Lawson -also the editor of the Long Line of Godly Men book series-.
In this edition of the Generations program, Kevin Swanson interviews Christian counselor and pastor, Todd Adams, who has counseled hundreds of Christian families over the course of 30 years. They address the specific challenges we face when it comes to counseling Christian families in our world today.
It's a question of justice. Should a woman get an abortion, or should she make use of a Glock 19 when attacked by a rapist- Answers to such questions betray a worldview. But, this also brings up the question of whether Christians should prefer mercy over justice. Here's an interesting discussion on this edition of the Generations broadcast.
Things are getting worse and worse for the nation under President Biden. What can possibly protect us now from the day of God's judgment- We develop the spiritual prepper plan on this edition of the program. Also, we analyze the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission's lax view of the use of aborted fetal tissue for the J-J vaccine. We excoriate their ethics team for failing to consider the biblical principles tied into it.
As national governments are forcing vaccines on churches, some denominations are capitulating. But, shall we trust the FDA- Shall we trust an increasingly anti-Christian medical and governmental cartel- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has purchased baby body parts in the most macabre fashion to use in experimentation. Our trust is waning thin.----Warning- The descriptions of the FDA's use of baby body parts may be too gory and horrific for children's ears.
When a student at a Christian college flaunts a particular sexual sin -whether it be homosexuality, incest, or typical fornication-, what must the college do- These are increasingly important questions in an age of apostasy. There are two different attacks coming against the Christian college by the dominant zeitgeist. The courts have rejected the College of the Ozarks' preemptive suit against the federal government on the matter. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is requiring LGBT non-discrimination on accommodation elements of the economy, which appears to extend to the Christian college. Meanwhile, apostate Christian college students are suing the Christian colleges for a -consistent use- of Title IX funds, requiring the colleges to abide by Caesar's pro-homosexual agenda. Who will win here- Is this the death knell for the Christian college-
