The Generations Radio Program

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?

Franklin Graham is taking on the Girl Scouts, following the lead of the Catholic Archbishop of St. Louis. It takes much courage to take a stand against the zeitgeist of the day, especially for pastors and civil leaders who take their positions seriously. We also take a look at Alabama's last stand and capitulation to Obergefell. A long time ago, men had the courage to develop interposition an...

The devotional writer and a true leader for the college discipleship movement, Jerry Bridges passed away on Sunday. Here is our last interview with this man of God, on developing discipleship relationships vs. the shallow, pseudo-relational community so common in the church today. We present this in memory of Jerry Bridges.

The Best Picture award in the 2016 Academy Awards goes to the film Spotlight, a drama that exposes the pedophilia scandal in the Roman Catholic Church. But what about the other film just produced that exposes the pedophilia scandals in Hollywood? Distributors won't touch the film. However, there is some divine justice as big media brings big corrupt churches down. We also attempt to answer th...

Finally, the liberals on the Supreme Court are calling for less regulation of the medical industry for once, at least when it comes to killing babies. Also, the conservatives on the Supreme Court are really concerned about the conditions in these clinics rats running the hallways, etc. But which of the rats are we more concerned about? The best case for this Supreme Court decision will be a 4-4 de...

Donald Trump's recent tax submission indicates huge donations to GLSEN and other homosexual outfits. The GLSEN group is intended to indoctrinate young children in homosexuality, and the organization recommends books minimizing or embracing pedophilia. Why are evangelicals flocking to support Donald Trump at higher rates than ever? Is it his support for homosexuality or Planned Parenthood or ....

Kara Tippetts made the news when she attempted to convince a subject of medical suicide not to do it. She was dying of cancer herself when she made the appeal. We review Kara Tippett's life and death with Jill Buteyn, who co-authored a book with Kara called Just Show Up . Friendships can be forged in the midst of suffering that is, real friendships. Here is a powerful message.

Christians are losing court cases against the gay borg, and they are walking away from the legal fights and throwing in the towel. Freedom of speech is threatened in California on the college campuses and in the pro-life pregnancy centers. We suggest a few workarounds, offering a strategy to maintain at least some sort of freedom of contracts. Time to give up on all wedding businesses? Will free e...

Does a man who uses profanity and obscene language have any respect for man or fear of God? On this edition of the program, we take a look at Donald Trump's obscenity and other politicians' use of profanity. If the empire is disintegrating, then what sort of qualifications would a president need to oversee the demolition of a nation? Who's the best guy to lead the nation if this is...

This is the message for 21st century America. God destroyed a disobedient world once with a worldwide flood, saving eight people in an ark. It really happened in history. They never thought that the rains would come, and one day the rains came. Now they're saying the same thing today. They say that the flood never happened and judgment will never come in the future. But it will. It's the...
