The Generations Radio Program

The public schools have more woes than we can count on this edition of the program. Muslim male students don't have to shake hands with female teachers any more in Swiss public schools. Also, a 4-year-old was kicked out of a Colorado preschool for refusing to participate in pro-homosexual ideologies. Meanwhile, San Francisco junior high schools are allowing kids to opt out of a full week of h...

Do you have a healthy relationship with money? The Bible speaks to all of life, and it is crucial that we retain a right and balanced view of money in a materialistic culture. Kevin Swanson interviews Brad Hewitt, the author of the book The Right Money Mindset and CEO of Thrivent Financial, a Fortune 500 company. As a Christian, he has learned to look at money in a more balanced, biblical way. Che...

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,...

A highly touted longitudinal study has just been released which seems to indicate that kids don't need their parents' quantity time. In fact, quantity time between parents and kids can be counterproductive, according to this study. Of course, this comes as a huge relief to a society where 75-95% of kids will be shuffled away to daycare, preschool, and so on. The only problem with this st...

Another family business in Illinois is being shut down by the gay borg and the fascism that progressively intrudes upon liberty. We call this tyranny, but why? We go to the principle of the matter again and question discrimination laws. Also, Kevin Swanson provides five reasons why Jesus was not a communist, and why He would part ways with the systems that run our nation today.

There are a lot of idols stacked on god shelves in our homes. There's the idol of peace and quiet. There is the idol of good kids, and the idol of a clean home not to mention the idols of sports, materials, food . . . and on and on it goes. Kevin Swanson interviews Elyse Fitzpatrick on how to identify idols in the heart and deal with them.

"When you’re looking for real-life accounts of 21st Century believers whose lives are literally at stake for their beliefs, it demands the credibility of a man who has the smell of the front lines of the battlefield on his clothes because he was there yesterday and will be back there tomorrow. I’m proud to say my friend Tom Doyle is that man," wrote Christian author Jerry Jenkins. Could...

There are thousands of ways in which man-centered religion creeps up on us in modern America. Do you attend an It's All About Me church, or are you part of the Christian faith? One church promises a money-back guarantee on tithes within 90 days. Another church doesn't want to talk about hell and repentance it's just too negative and doesn't make man feel very good about himself...

Why should a Los Angeles woman get 14 years of prison time for abandoning a one-day-old child, when she could have willfully killed the baby the day before and received state funding for her abortion? We take a look at Donald Trump's suggestion (and subsequent retraction) about prosecuting women for having abortions. Also, we challenge Christians to be consistent on the 6th, 7th, and 8th comm...

Betrayal has become the name of the game for Christians who want to retain freedom of religion and freedom of commerce and contract in this country. Those who stand for principle and freedom no doubt will remember the names of Mike Pence and Nathan Deal for generations to come. But what should Christians do in the face of increased persecution in the workplace, the marketplace, and the church? Get...

A recent World Bank report warns that millennials won't be able to get a decent job. Also, a USA Todayarticle says that millennials will have to save $2.5 million (or $2,000 per month) to main the same stand of living that their baby boomer parents enjoyed. What gives? We get into the warp and woof of the family economy and mentorship for our boys. Here's one story of how a father mentor...

We take a look at the increased reports of sexual harassment of women in the workplace, applying some biblical definitions and principles to it. Women (25-54 years of age) participating in the workforce is up from 20% to 74%. Meanwhile, men are disappearing from the workforce, dropping off from 98% to 88% since 1960. Also, 64% of kids are latchkey. These are huge social shifts, and the consequence...

We take a look at the rise in comprehensive sex education and the weak attempt to bring abstinence sex education into the public schools. A right perspective of the uses of the law of God will help us understand why pure moralism in the public schools, paid for by $1 billion of tax monies, won't fix the problem. We suggest something better: parents teaching Proverbs 1:7, 5, and 7, as well as...

Georgia's Republican Governor Nathan Deal says that Jesus wouldn't discriminate against homosexuals when it comes to officiating homosexual weddings. The Religious Liberty bill in Georgia is dying the slow death of a thousand qualifications, a harbinger of what is to come across the country. We take a look at the corporate bullies that threaten to boycott the State of Georgia if it doesn...

So you thought the 1960s were bad? The percentage of Americans who have ever tried marijuana has risen from 4% to 40% since 1969. In the 1960s, Francis Schaeffer talked about the escape from reality and the crossing over of the line of despair. The crossover is almost complete now. The use of mind-altering drugs among Americans (either on the street or over-the-counter) is on the increase. What do...

Modern Christians often want to put pleasure fairly far ahead of procreation when it comes to marriage. Contraception usage is assumed, and worship and gratitude take a back seat to personal gratification and sensuality. Kevin Swanson discusses these matters with Pastor Jason Young, director of the Family Vision Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.

Big box retail stores are going out of business, while the internet market is expanding at the rate of $60 billion per year. The internet has introduced some amazing opportunities for family economies. We interview Bryan Young from ProfitSourcing.com on developing a market for internet sales.

Christian family groups are fighting tooth-and-nail against a program that would assign a state guardian for every child in Scotland. They are taking this case to the UK Supreme Court. This introduces a discussion on sphere sovereignty, first framed by Abraham Kuyper who saw the state encroaching upon the family sphere. We interact with a Patheos article, Killing the Church with Sunday School. Is...

The Jerry Sandusky scandal and the Penn State fiasco are impacting the entire state of Pennsylvania. It's an integrity bust. Several Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices have resigned their positions for lack of personal integrity and sexual indiscretions. The leading candidates for president don't give us much more confidence. Does the prophet Micah define the situation correctly when he...

The NCAA is being pressured to boot Christian colleges who maintain a biblical position on homosexuality. Meanwhile, the administration is pushing the homosexual lifestyle internationally via ambassadors assigned to nations such as the Dominican Republic. Bills like SB-200 in Colorado threaten a year in jail for placing a Bible in a bookstore or hotel room. What now? Boldly proclaim a last-ditch m...

Why does Ben Carson endorse Donald Trump for president? How about Jerry Falwell, Jr.? They give their reasons, and we weigh them on this edition of the program. Cheeseburgers, disingenuousness, pragmatism and principles? Falwell makes the point that David was an adulterer and a murderer, but it seems that David was repentant and asked God for forgiveness.

Since 1970, Islamic terrorism and wars exploded on just about every continent. Was this the first time in history, or does Islam represent a tradition of violence and militaristic domination? We explain the ideology of violence in Jihad, touching on the history of the modern resurgence. We also bring Nabeel Qureshi on this program to better understand Jihad and its impact on modern nations.

Contemporary thinkers are pretty sure that man is on the cusp of breaking through in the evolutionary process developing machines that are smarter than man. The moment of singularity is supposed to happen in 2045 A.D. Now they're asking questions: Will the singularity mean the death of religion? Will the ontological argument fail when an intelligence refuses to allow for the possibility of Go...

Picking the candidate for the Republicans is like choosing your favorite Survivor contestant. Postmodernism loses its grip on reality, and pretty soon we're looking for things like the best insults, the most bravado, and the most insolent attitude. We come back to the Millennial generation and its financial nightmare, unemployment problem, debt, birth implosions, and all the rest. This is the...

Communist China is banning depictions of homosexuality, witchcraft, and cleavage from audio/video media. Germany is banning sausage in fear of offending Muslim immigrants. This leads to a conversation on the purpose of civil government and the use of top-down regulative law. Will laws on cleavage really help China, or does China need the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
