The Generations Radio Program

The Arizona Governor has vetoed posting the ten commandments, but God is still in charge. Jesus is still King, and Arizona remains in rebellion against Him. But Louisiana may be a different story. Much progress has been made already to destroy the heritage of this country and undermine all common denominators upon which a multicultural nation formed. But will we respect that heritage ourselves as...

Christians are getting 2-5 years in prison now for participation in non-violent protests against abortion. We go over the history of Christian persecution in the United States of America beginning with Samuel Worcester and then Phillip Zodhiates, after which comes the current stream of persecutions. The government punishes Christians for trying to save the lives of their neighbor's babies. Bu...

The Biden administration has taken a tremendous step towards transgenderizing 13,000 school districts and 50,000,000 kids in this country. Governments secure centralized control of an institution, and then they pervert it, in that order. That's the way it works every time. Christians should take the principled stand, especially on Title IX. Governments have no business controlling education a...

Kansas City Chiefs' Harrison Butker is extremely not-woke in the woke world of sports. Will he receive the Izzy Folau treatment? Butker appeared to be coming from another planet when he spoke on men being men and women being women, "degenerate cultural values" at the Benedictine commencement. Will there be something salvaged of family life in the 21st century?

Are you prepared for a rainy day? Or a rainy year for that matter? When the lights go out, some people will freak out. They will not survive. But, how do we train our children to be resourceful and self-sufficient instead of state-dependent or institution-dependent, and able to take care of the basic needs of life? Would our families survive a year without the grocery store? Will we make it throug...

An art display at the Augusta County School announced to all that, "God loves you, but not enough to save you." The statement deserves an answer, and the artist is demanding self-consistency from squishy Christians. A robust view of God, of salvation, of the nature of man, and God's judgment is essential to answer such snarky salvos. So here it is . . .

The fastest-growing church in the UK is the Chinese church. But the most phenomenal development of the last century was the tradeoff from West to East. The West lost ground and the East gained all of that ground back for itself. Christian adherents in Europe and North America as a percentage of the world population dropped by more than half between 1900 and 2023 (from 21.9% to 10.5%), while the pe...

The college bubble busted, and companies aren't hiring from Ivy League schools as much anymore. We explain why liberal arts schools are liberal, and suggest a different path for those who want to be pastors, statesmen, lawyers, and the like—something besides a liberal arts college. How would you prepare your budding young leader for future leadership opportunities?

Will the pro-abortion, independent candidate for president, Robert Kennedy, split the conservative vote or the liberal vote? The question comes down to a commitment to either . . . the pro-life position or the anti-government populist position among American conservatives. How pro-life are the pro-lifers in the US? Recent data from Gallup finds that pro-abortionists are more committed to their pos...

On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Kenny Sargent, Jackson Barlau, and Zach Freeman of Sargent Family Productions about the importance of Christian influence in media. Has your family been searching for God-honoring radio dramas to listen to? Sargent Family Productions is a Christian ministry that has been involved with the production of audio dramatizations and has just relea...

The leviathan hold on the three power centers is pretty much complete now. The cultural Marxists have got it. By all indexes, the American media, universities, and business world has gone woke, liberal, progressive, regressive—whatever you want to call it. We identify the most evil man in the world, at least in terms of influence on others—Warren Buffett, and note the push back on Disney. Is it to...

There are major disconnects between church leadership and laity especially when it comes to socio-political matters. The same principle applies across the board—to Catholics, evangelicals, and main liners. Who's influencing the laity if the pastors are pretty irrelevant?

Children are reading less and less, but are we satisfied with readers if they are addicted to reading the wrong stuff? Will they be lost in the metaphor, or will they find the right interpretation and application of the metaphor in real life? We briefly consider the merits of Harry Potter, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Chronicles of Narnia. 

The high-profile sex trials of the former president Donald Trump immediately bring to mind Proverbs 7 and 31. If many strong men have been slain by her, what about you and me? The warning is humbling. We touch on some history from Grover Cleveland, Warren Harding, and Woodrow Wilson to John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton.  

Here is the wonderful story of a Tibetan Buddhist monk who gets saved while doing sherpa work on Everest. It is the story of amazing transformations, daring evangelism, harrowing mission treks, and persecution on the mountains of Tibet. Don't miss this first-hand story from the Tibetan Paul . . . telling of what God is doing in the fasting-growing mission field in the world. In this program,...

Over the past 10-15 years, America has become a consuming nation, spending more money than has ever been spent in the past. The debt to GDP ratio has increased from 56% to 129% since 2008. What happens to a nation that consumes more than they produce, and what is the root problem when this occurs?

Gloria Steinem and Gloria Friedan have done their work. As the smoke clears and the dust settles, one cannot help but see the damage done on all of human society. But how does the Christian respond? Is it possible to overreact? How do we address the questions of women working outside of the home, or teaching women in the church? Kevin Swanson lays out a pattern for addressing these critical matter...

There are diversions in the church, and then there are Christian tabloid diversions to keep us up to date on the diversions. We were asked about a certain occurrence playing out at a men's conference in Springfield, Missouri, hoping we could explain the general messed-uppedness of whatever happened there. This opens up a different conversation about diversions, the entertainment culture, the...

College protests are sweeping across the country—over 1,400 protesters arrested so far. Youth power and student power gained force in the 1970s, beginning with the Vietnam protests. Shall we leave it up to the liberal colleges and "student power" to change the world? Or are we surrendering to chaos and revolution?

Has the time finally come for the states to fight off the tyranny of Washington, D.C.? Would they ever do it? Kevin Swanson interviews Matthew Trewhella on the role of the lesser magistrates in resisting tyranny from higher magistrates. This may come in handy when Christians are subjected to persecution at the hands of the pro-homosexual federal government.

Quite a lot can happen in 63 years of popular culture. We trace the movement from sustainable folk culture to decadence to despair on this edition of the program—beginning with Johnny Horton and ending with Taylor Swift. But why does a post-Christian culture end in suicide and despair so quickly? The book of 2 Peter offers a clue. 

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...

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.

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 al...

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, au...
