The Generations Radio Program

Do we really want to take all the salt and light out of the public schools by removing our Christian kids? And what about socialization? How will homeschooling kids ever survive in a world where they haven't learned to hang out with a peer group? You have heard the common questions and the arguments. We provide some answers on this edition of the program.

It's the broken generation . . . the hopeless generation. . . . They call them the Gen Z generation for a reason. It is the last generation. These have lost the will to continue a civilization—to get married, have children, and live in a sane world. They are homosexual. They have embraced homosexuality. They have lost interest in the nuclear family. But ultimately, they have lost hope. There...

The corporate wokies appeared to have lost all grasp on reality at multiple levels. The free market is sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. The board room has abandoned all rationality for woke, whether it be sex change operations or the value of Apple. But how shall we then live? What are God's people to do? Revelation 18 comes to mind. 

The coronation of Charles III marks the end of an era. Although Charles will take an oath to follow God's law in the pattern of Athelstan, that is not the direction set anymore to this post Christian country. We take a moment to appreciate what God did for England over 1,000 years.

The world has faced crisis before, and it is facing crisis today. Worldviews matter when crisis hits. Naturalistic, atheistic, materialistic worldviews are tested and found wanting during times of crisis. They’re insufficient to bring hope or explain the basic questions of life. Kevin Swanson interviews Jeff Myers on the importance of a biblical worldview on this edition of Generations.

Does prosperity bring happiness? Does education bring prosperity? That's the question addressed on this segment of Generations. South Korea is abandoning the Christian faith as the country grows more prosperous—and this is especially so among the younger generation. Evangelical churches saw a 20% drop off in church membership over the last 10 years. Church attendance with the largest denomina...

As we glance over the final chapter of the US economy, we witness the last-ditch efforts on the part of corporate America and the US government to keep the behemoth alive. The pitiful efforts on the part of Apple, Chevron, Bed Bath and Beyond, Visa, Discover, Nike, Cisco, Walmart, Morgan Stanley, and Home Depot looks a lot like the final chapter of the US government spending. There is an appearanc...

Here are the summary findings to our study on "The Evil Index for the US States." Which is the most evil state in America on the basis of violations of the 6th, 7th, and 8th commandments? Which is the best state? Taking a biblical worldview assessment of public policy and the moral state of the people, which is the worst and which is the best? Here are some surprises. What contributes to...

Tucker Carlson didn't last long as the top-rated program for Fox News. The zeitgeist pulled him quick when a little truth about the more significant matters began slipping out around the edges. Was he pushing a little too hard on prayer and some kind of fear of God in that Heritage Foundation talk last Friday? Here we play a segment of Tucker Carlson's last address before he was on ice,...

Will Christian community be characterized as a retreat center or a saltshaker? Will it be a ghetto or an army camp? Will it be distributing special grace or common grace? Will we escape the world, or will we overcome the world? What are the words used to describe Christian community in Scripture? What is the strategy for developing Christian community, and what is the relationship of the family to...

For those who are asking the question—What is AI, and should I be concerned? Here is a simple introduction to General AI and Narrow AI. For those who have the right worldview (a biblical worldview), here is the best interpretation of this man-invented system promising for the world another Tower of Babel. How does the Christian interact with it? Does the Christian family unplug from the matrix?

The American Bible Study poll found that 86 percent of US adults believe the nation is in moral decline, but what percent are contributing to it? And what are the reasons for it? But why the increase in the grossest manifestations of immorality? We suggest that sexual sin is encouraged by every one of our social institutions—political, educational, and cultural; and pretty much all restraints have...

The city of Minneapolis has approved of five-times-a-day public announcements for Islamic prayer. Islam is thought to be the fastest growing religion in the world, especially attractive among liberals. But why? The post-Christian world appears enthusiastic about anything that opposes the Christian faith, obviously. Why does Islam fill the vacuum left by a vacuous worldview like atheistic materiali...

Between 1989 and 2022, Disney's impact on America (as a percentage of the GDP) grew a whopping fifty-fold. The effects are pretty impressive, especially with the 14- to 24-year-old crowd. But what is the solution for parents? Go to a church that warns its members about Disney and assorted media that is geared towards stumbling children? What about your children interacting with other neighbor...

The American Psychological Association has concluded that traditional masculinity is toxic to the nation. Competitiveness, male aggression, achievement, and risk are seen as threatening and toxic to the present social milieu. Do we really like "traditional" masculinity if that means able machismo and a tendency to want to commit sexual sin? What is true biblical masculinity? This is the...

The most critical part of a homeschool curriculum must be . . . what? History. But how do you know you are teaching the RIGHT history? We go through some of the basics, drawing in Andrew Jackson, Samuel Worcester, Sheridan, Hitler, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Eisenhower and the Warren Court. Be sure to hear the stories, but be sure you are aware of the absolutely indispensable elements of an essen...

Conservatives are beginning to point to the spiritual realm as something of an active force in today's zeitgeist. It's hard to ignore the singular, phenomenal power these forces have had over the masses. . . . The rapidity at which these powers moved and the extent to which they achieved worldwide conquest was astounding. The whole operation took place over barely 70 years. Nothing short...

China wants to preserve its national cultural identity. Russia wants to preserve its national cultural identity. The Muslim countries have a strong sense of cultural and religious identity. But the USA and Europe have abandoned their traditional Christian roots. They have become rootless, multicultural experiments, with the hope that internationalism will save them. Eastern Orthodox countries are...

Gradually, the sexual revolution has taken down the country—and the transition for fornication occurred in 2004, the transition for homosexual marriage occurred in 2015, but what about transgenderism? The zeitgeist appears to have smacked against the wall. Have the Sexual Vandals gone a step too far? Public support for transgenderism has dropped off since 2017. The enthusiasm is waning, but not so...

Games. Porn. Slothfulness. Escapism. Drugs. Aimlessness. Whether the boy has grown up in a Christian church, Christian school, or a homeschooling family . . . high percentages of young men are wandering aimlessly, spiritually anemic, or dead . . . and there's not much a homeschooling mom can do for him anymore. Now what? Aaron Boldman from HelpMyBoy.com has had 22 years of experience with hun...

There are 774,000 psychiatrists and secular counselors in the US, and only 29,900 pastors. So what is this worldview that predominates now in our post-Christian nations? But how is this religion of naturalism-materialism-humanism (with its varied definitions of man's problems and solutions) working out? Not very well. Wrong ideas have bad consequences and perpetuate bad consequences. Create m...

Americans are increasingly losing patriotism but embracing big government socialism. They don't like their country, but they rather favor the government, especially if it's a real big government that promises to solve their problems for them. Americans are losing interest in faith in God, family, children, community, and relationships in favor of self-definition, self-worship, self-every...

The US Supreme Court turned the decision on abortion back over to the people in the respective states with the reversal of Roe v. Wade. America is failing the test. We have failed to achieve 6 pro-life initiatives or referendums so far, involving elections in Kentucky, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Montana. Wisconsin's vote on the Supreme Court justice was a landslide this week, in strong favor of a...

For the first time in modern history, the majority of Americans are abandoning the idea that college is the key to success. It turns out success has far more to do with life experience, good mentorship, and the development of character and faith, than it does with endless ventures into forming a wayward knowledge built up on humanist reason. The Democrat-to-Republican ratio among college professor...

Can Christians engage their communities? How can they do this? Is it possible to be salt and light, and offer a preserving element of common grace in a local community by owning and controlling a small-town newspaper? How does a Christian report the truth of the matter, if the truth is defined as God defines it? Kevin Swanson speaks with his brother concerning his 30-year venture into journalism.
