The Generations Radio Program

The stock market has turned into a casino. Nearly half the options on S&P 500 stocks as well as on SPY and QQQ have maturities of less than 24 hours (0DTE). This means that everybody is after a quick buck . . . a REALLY quick buck . . . about as quick as a slot machine in Vegas. Now, 60% of options traded had maturities of 1-2 days, up from 0% in 2010, and 6% in 2018. Investor-to-gambler ratio...

After 80 years, the "Doomsday Clock" has been moved up to 90 seconds before midnight. That’ the closest humanity has ever been to “Armageddon.” What’s the worldview operating here? Worldly scientists have turned more pessimistic than ever, but will this be a self-fulfilling prophecy? We remind our listeners God is control, and He is destabilizing the nations. But, Christians must submit...

Worldviews clash on this program, as Jen Wilkin encourages Christian families to support the public schools, allow for a pluralistic polytheistic worldview in the public schools, while being sure to avoid the "Christianizing" of public schools. Must we support a Marxist approach, allowing all children equal opportunities and equal access to wealth? Are we supposed to send our children in...

The national media is all abuzz with what is happening at Asbury College in Kentucky. So far, 100,000 people have made their pilgrimage to the scene of the revivals. But how does the Bible define revival? What is it to be revived spiritually, and what are the biblical indications of a true Holy Spirit outpouring? Why is preaching and the Word of God more on the back burner with modern revivals—dis...

What may be the most well-publicized, horrific murders in America as decried by the media has a redemptive element to it. The liberals hate God's redemption and God's law, but for some reason they get very preachy and religious in their deprecations for Charles Manson. Kevin Swanson points out how God redeems some murderers. Charles Tex Watson outlines the sins he committed to lead him t...

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Allan Parker , President of The Justice Foundation , who asserts that there are some intriguing similarities between the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education and the 2022 Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization rulings of the Supreme Court. In both cases, the Supreme Court admitted it was wrong. In the first, they admitted that the races should not be segr...

Jesus gets a billion-dollar promotional campaign with Super Bowl ads, etc. The focal points are humanity, identification with man's feelings, and opposing hate and polarization. But still, Christ crucified doesn't market that well. What's the objective? Where are we going with all of our efforts? Let's keep the objective in mind—disciple the nations, call to repentance, and tea...

Artificial Intelligence isn’t coming. It’s already here. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are well ahead of us in developing A.I. The worldview coming out of it is decidedly leftist. So how does this tie into a Biblical worldview? On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus address concerns over worldviews, artificial intelligence, and technology.

Here are four questions to ask to determine if sports is turning into an idol in your life. When did Sunday sports replace church attendance at Lord's Day observance? We go over some of the wrong and right uses of sports, and close on God's definition of rest and pleasure (vs. what man comes up with for himself).

Here's a report from the worst of the worst suffering on Earth when it comes to Christian persecution. It doesn't get any worse than this in terms of the number of martyrs, refugees, and kidnappings. But for us, this is the opportunity of the millennium to serve the tortured body of Christ, the least of these His brothers. Donate here:   https://equippingthepersecuted.org/

We are questioned about pastors with facial piercings and cranial implants. And, what about converted neo-nazis sporting swastikas, converted Muslims wearing kufis, and converted homosexuals who carry on adorning themselves in feminine apparel? This brings up a short discussion on semiotics. What we are looking for is a little honesty, a true reflection of a worldview, and a self-consistent applic...

A discussion on gender-neutral language with the TNIV and NIV leads to an investigation into Christian publishing. The timeline of Zondervan, Thomas Nelson, and Multnomah selling out to secular companies pretty much marks the collapse of American Christianity in the 2000s. Now, 54% of the large Christian publishers are owned by the likes of Harper Collins and Random House . . . in case anybody was...

Has Kirk Cameron left behind "Left Behind?" We consider a recent interview clip featuring Kirk, in the wake of another film episode of Left Behind ("The Rise of the Antichrist"). Does a certain eschatology require a pessimistic view of the church? What about polishing the brass on a sinking ship? How did short-term evangelism take the place of digging in for longer-term discipl...

Here is a candid conversation on maintaining sexual purity in ministry, and as well for any young man who is in the battle and preparing for ministry. How do we engage regular disciplines, self-control, right accountability and transparency, and spiritual defensive and offensive warfare with the devil? Kevin Swanson catches up with his brother (from the mission field in the Philippines) on the top...

The 2023 Grammys Award ceremony celebrated artists and songs featuring transgenderism, Satanism, and profanity. But the Grammys have turned into an irrelevant side show. Among 77 of the top-selling albums of all time, only 1 comes from the last 20 years . . . and that was 12 years ago. Popular music and the popular icons that go with it is done. It's over for the pop-culture phenomenon of the...

Biblical law requires that we not give to any respect of persons in judgment when it comes to how we view evil. For the most part, the media does not comply with Biblical law in this matter, and most other areas of jurisprudence. Therefore, Christians need to be on their game in matters relating to police abuse (which can be a real issue), police who are killed in the line of duty, etc. We lay out...

Are Americans missing the message? Leading pastors are losing hope in the power of the Gospel, and they have given up on the conversion of homosexuals. Andy Stanley reveals a devastating breach of faith when giving up on the possibility of God saving homosexuals. This is a lapse of faith, and a breach of humility. Jesus didn't come to call the righteous, and those who are too proud to admit t...

Jinger Duggar Vuolo joins the "Gothard Recovery Group," (what appears to be an expanding help group) . . . as witnessed by her recent publicized interview on Fox News Digital. While the enemies of God will jump all over the scandals, the internal conflicts, and the shams of Christianity, they will never be able to sort out the good, the bad, and the ugly in the mix. While it isn't o...

Here is a 90-year tour of blockbuster movies and their impact on the world, beginning in the 1930s and ending in the 2020s. We look at three radical cultural breaks—the genre shift, the moral shift, and the worldview shift. It was a crossover from reality to unreality, from illusion to delusion, from an external morality to a blatant immorality, and from a Christian worldview underpinning to panth...

Will Christians passively accept the new social agenda, or is this the time to take off the gloves in the cultural and social wars? The present agenda of those attacking family, fatherhood, sexuality, and economy are self-consciously self-destructive. . . . This isn’t just some culture revolution . . . this is cultural suicide. But what will Christians do? Chris Willey speaks with us about his new...

By the end of the year, about 3-4% of the salmon sold in the American markets for human consumption will be GMO-designed salmon. Hey, they grow twice as fast as normal salmon! And lab-grown meat is on its way too. How does Leviticus 19:19 tie in, or doesn't it? Could corporate greed wind up cutting too many corners when it comes to human health? What happens when the entire scientific world i...

Almost 80% of US parents are concerned about their children's mental health. That wasn't the case for Almanzo Wilder's parents in 1880. What in the world happened to our world? Media. Transgenderism. Isolation. Wrong thinking about everything. God gives them up to a corrupt mind. . . . But how do we raise our children outside of the mental institute called "our world?"

Here is one of the most interesting cultural shifts in the last 40 years. Cremation rates exploded from 5.7% to 57.5%, and this vision for burning up human bodies was let loose on the Western world in the 1880s by a Druid high priest from Wales. This makes for an ideal study of human culture and worldview because culture is religion externalized. Belief in the resurrection dropped off fast when th...

The Decadent 1900s and 1910s in Germany and Russia led to World War I. The Roaring Twenties led to the Depressing 30s and the World War 40s. Where will the insane 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, and 20s lead the West? The pride, the power-mongering, and the lust in the hearts of men bring about wars. But also, God brings desolations in the earth as an act of temporal judgment. But how does the church res...

Drugging associated with The American Boy Disease (ADHD) has doubled in just 5 years, and the diagnosing of ADHD has increased seven-fold since 1997. This may be the most dramatic social development in 20 years. Kevin Swanson gives a list of ten things parents can do for boys before resorting to drugs.
