The Generations Radio Program

Why do the brains of Christians turn to mush when it comes to discerning the worldview messages conveyed by the entertainment fare? Children are given the escapist utopia in Disney—the shortcut to living happily ever after, which usually comes after discovering the good within yourself. The intensely moral themes present "pro-social values," but they certainly are not biblical values roo...

Multiple mainline comedians like Chris Rock are finally admitting that abortion is murder, but it’s still a choice, and should be legal. Why do comedians admit to the obvious, seek some level of honesty, and yet shy away from ultimate honesty? Comedians are more honest, and yet they tend towards depression and suicide. But why? We carefully analyze the worldview of post-modern comedy here, and pre...

After the 2008 worldwide recession, the US median household wealth never recovered from its 2006 peak of $210,000. Median household income could not keep up with real inflation rates, and household debt could not compensate for the reduced standard of living anymore. The ever-increasing prosperity trend of a half millennium, come by the grace of God and the economic and technological developments...

Friendship has dropped off 60% in the US since 1990, but the good news . . . the average Facebook participant has 338 friends! Twelve percent of Americans have no friends, up from 3% in 1990. What is friendship, how does one invest in it, and what is the value of it? We dig into this very important aspect of human life with Dr. Michael Haykin, professor of church history at Southern Baptist Theolo...

Some 86% of Christian parents are concerned with their children’s spiritual development. But, will they pull their kids out of schools that teach the wrong religion or the wrong worldview? Why is the zeitgeist going after the three largest animated children’s film franchises in history? How is it that Fox News finally agrees with the Generations ministry after ten years of going after Frozen , How...

Here we are with the biggest housing bubble ever. Is this a good time to buy? If there was ever a time to be thoughtful, strategic, biblical, and principled with economics, that time would be now. Kevin Swanson explains for young families how to live debt free and mortgage free on a home. How do we avoid the lure of get-rich-quick debt schemes? How do we save for the long term, instead of setting...

Victor Orban gets a fourth term in Hungary politics—and this nation is showing improvements by economy, by economic freedoms, and by abortion policies. That's according to the standard of God's law. We refresh our "Evil Index" and identify the most evil nations on earth—which turns out to be Greenland, North Korea, Afghanistan, and Russia. Some nations are showing vast degrade,...

Here we interact with an honest admission from the producer/writer of The Chosen. Are we content with "leaning on" the humanity of Jesus vs. the deity of Jesus in the Mormon-produced TV series? Does the nature and person of Christ really matter, or can we subject the faith to reductionism? And, do Mormons and Evangelicals "love the same Jesus," as Dallas Jenkins has testified?...

It's a Corinthian society—a sexualized society out there—and your children are in the gun sights of the perverted zeitgeist. Here is a shocking expose of the history of sexual education, and the inroads humanist categories and education have had into Christian churches. Did Christians buy into the Alfred Kinsey agenda? We get right to the practical matter though, and offer ten tips on how not...

Guest host Adam McManus  interviews Kris Kobach , attorney with Alliance for Free Citizens , about his lawsuit on behalf of 36 Airmen who have been denied a religious exemption from the COVID-shot mandate. Based on Scripture, they object to the use of aborted fetal tissue in the development of the COVID shots. As he explained in his Breitbart column entitled Airmen Lawsuit Illustrates the Madness...

There is much to learn from the Hillsong implosion, especially for those who have plugged in to Hillsong music. But . . . here's the big takeaway: Brian Houston was embarrassed by Rugby All-Star, Izzy Folau, three years ago . . . for Folau's calling sinners to repentance. Now, we're embarrassed by Brian Houston. And, Izzy Folau is back in the game, and Brian is out. For all of us ....

The Federal Reserve and the other central banks have pretty much managed to mess up the world economy. When increasing your quantitative easing from $5 trillion in 2008 to $32 trillion just 14 years later . . . driving inflation rates into the stratosphere, with bond rates in the toilet, now how do you fix that? Man seeks ultimate control over systems. When governments find that they have fouled u...

The US Supreme Court nominee is supposed to be the first black woman on the high court, but she's not sure what is a woman, or that she is a woman. Can Supreme Court nominees answer basic questions like, "What is a cat?" or "What is a Judge?" or "What is a woman?" We consider Judge Ketanji Jackson's answers to the question when life begins, but it turns out...

What would constitute a healthy church? What's the core element or emphasis we are looking for at a time when humanism is raging as hard as it is in the church? It's a God-focus, a God-knowledge, a God-centeredness, vs. a man-centeredness. But what does this look like? Here's an engaging conversation on what constitutes a healthy church on this edition of Generations. 

Here is a follow-up to the program on the church that won't take the contra-mundum stance against the world on woke, feminism, humanism, humanist schools, sexual autonomy, etc. etc. Here are eight reasons to leave a church, plus two, for the consideration of our listenership, and a bit on how to leave a church.

Toy Story now goes totally woke, but the big story is the ends to which the “gay” Borg will go, in order to grab the hearts of the children. The Behind-the-Scenes story on the lesbian scene in “Lightyear” betrays the level of commitment to which the Zeitgeist applies to indoctrinating children. How do Christian families react to Disney and Pixar now? If there was any question ten years ago, now al...

We run through the last 100 years of New World Orders and demonstrate the futility of man’s attempt to find peace without Christ. What is proposed here is a social order . . . a political order . . . a guarantee for world peace, and a better life for everybody. What is assumed by the UN charter is an “ethic” and “rights” we can all agree on, which we don’t; and that human governments have the abil...

Kevin Swanson attends the Bad Abortion Bill hearing at the Senate Judiciary Committee, and here's the take away: There is no fear of God before their eyes, and "your story" is all that matters. Whether you killed the kid or saved the child, "your story" is everything, and they want to hear it. Sartre rules now. Choice defines essence, which precedes existence. However, Sar...

While the faith is dying out in the Western world, some are rushing to water down the gospel in order to make it palatable for those running away from it. Will this watered-down gospel presentation produce any good fruit? Why not press the gospel claims of Christ hard? Why not call men "sinners" and call them to repentance like Jesus and John the Baptist did? Why not make it hurt? Is thi...

Another Great Awakening comes about with the outrageously popular religion promoted by women shaking free of husbands, finding freedom in the all-about-me worldview. It’s the ministry of Hester Prynne, first envisioned by Nathaniel Hawthorne in “The Scarlet Letter.” This program also takes a look at the positives and negatives involved with Charlotte Mason’s teachings.

So, the feds used Christian leaders like N.T. Wright, Ed Stetzer, the Gospel Coalition's Joe Carter, Pastors Tim Keller, Rick Warren, and Russell Moore to push the party line on Covid vaccines and protocol. Pastor John MacArthur was out of the fellowship, and these other guys crowded in. So what is the lure of statism for these Christian leaders, that they would snuggle up so close with the l...

The U.S. economy is now in desperate straits, inflation is on the rise, and spending bills continue to pass through unnoticed by the vast majority of Americans. In this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan address the topic of economics and the importance of educating ourselves on these issues.

Andy Stanley airs his doubts about infallibility and the authority of Scripture, but still wants to hold on to a shred of evidentialism for the Gospel of Luke. The slippery slope of evidential apologetics gives way to full-bore faithlessness in the ongoing apostasy of the West. This gets us back into the basis for truth and the fundamentals of our faith. Why believe God's Word? What is a good...

Here are the four killers of masculinity. While there’s no silver bullet, except for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, here are some helpful guidelines for raising sons—five practical things you can do now. By God’s grace, we can plant gardens in the ashes.

Does the church do best under democracy or dictatorship? The star pastor phenomenon is fading fast, but what is the best form of leadership? What does the Bible require for leadership and accountability for leaders? We consider the biblical pattern of eldership and the role of the congregation in selecting leaders in the church.
