The Generations Radio Program

The proportion of high school teachers believing in creation has dropped from 9% to 4% since 2007. Meanwhile, a 40 year experiment in evolution has yielded a dead end. After 60,000 generations of E.coli, the E.coli has turned into. . .well . . . It’s still E.coli. Why would 96% of high school biology teachers believe in a fairy tale — a far-fetched hypothesis, no defined mechanism, no meaningful t...

US mental health slipped quite substantially in 2020 as indicated by a Gallup study. All segments of Americans slipped mentally, except for one — Weekly Church Attenders. The most mentally unstable group of all - Democrat women who do not attend church. But here is the question. Why did Christians attending church weekly do significantly better in 2020 vs. 2019, despite the difficult trials they f...

What is the Christian's relationship with worldly fame? What is the worldview behind the zeitgeist and the songs that are most applauded by Christians and non-Christians alike, as compared to the Christian's worldview? We compare two public interviews from  popular media conducted with Pastor John MacArthur and one of the most popular Christian singers of the day, Lauren Daigel. At key m...

Every Christmas season we cherish the Christmas carols that articulate a Biblical understanding of God’s incarnation as the Baby of Bethlehem. But do you know the stories behind them? Based on the research of Kenneth Osbeck, author of 101 Hymn Stories and 101 More Hymn Stories , guest host Adam McManus gives you a behind-the-scenes peek at “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” “...

In the rush to get out the Christmas card and attend the Christmas productions, we can lose sight of special ways to draw the family closer to one another and to Jesus Christ, the Baby in Bethlehem. Guest host Adam McManus suggests 8 Christmas projects for your family: 1. Make homemade cookies for the neighbors and pass them out with a note. 2. Go caroling with your family and pass out candy canes...

Do churches have to carve out a new category for SSA (Same Sex Attraction), as well as every other type of sexual attraction Same Sex Attraction. (Mrs. Jones Sex Attraction. Sibling Attraction, Animal Attraction.  etc. etc.) and pretend that these heart-oriented attractions are sinless, autonomous, and neutral territory? We revisit the Dordt College discussion briefly, but spend most of the time a...

In a world where there is rising persecution towards Christian preaching and intense push-back from the ungodly, what is the best way to spread the Gospel? Jesus confronted the rich young ruler with the hardest thing for him to hear, but He didn't browbeat him. For the ungodly to be converted, it will take the working of the Holy Spirit in an individual's life. For men, this is impossibl...

'Tis the season for sickness, so it behooves us to ask the question: What is God teaching us? What is the correct way to view trials? Certainly, sickness humbles us, reminding us once again of how dependent we are upon God.  At the end of the day, though, we must have a vision of God, beholding His infinite wisdom and goodness in the midst of suffering, while having a wonderful opportunity to...

Education is largely what has corrupted the Christian faith over the last 800 years and is central in the battle of the war of the worldviews. Is it time for another education reformation to salvage human civilization? It can only be salvaged, ultimately, by the discipleship of the nations through the education of Christ. On this edition of Generations Radio, Kevin Swanson interviews author Vishal...

The metastasis of faith downgrade in the United States occurred between 2011 and 2014. Barna Research recorded a precipitous drop-off of church attendance within just a few years, continuing well into 2020. For a hundred years plus, church attendance continued above forty percent until 2011. Within just nine years, 54% of the professing Christian population abandoned the church. Arguably, it was t...

These are critical moments in American history. Will pastors go to jail? Will Christian counselors be fined? The stakes are pretty high for American elections, in that Trump’s appointee to the Supreme Court seems ready to defend religious liberties. Given a political apparatus that kills babies, promotes the breaking of the 6th, the 7th, and 8th commandments with great zeal, what are the possibili...

We are in an age of rising skepticism, atheism, and an aggressive resistance to the Christian faith, capturing the minds of tens of millions of the younger generation. Now is the time for a robust equipping in a distinctively Christian way of thinking, a biblical ethic, biblical epistemology, and biblical apologetics. Here are some resources that will help. Free online training in apologetics can...

The Greek word of thanksgiving is literally translated: “The giving of thanks for God’s grace.” We are constantly aware of being graced, we say grace, and we share grace. The Christian life is a three-way grace! We give thanks for 400 years of a tremendous heritage handed down to us by the Plymouth Pilgrims. Such a strong contrast between the slave-based economies and the family economy espoused b...

On the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing in Plymouth harbor, celebrations are cancelled. Is the nation over? Or is it time to revisit our foundations? The Puritans and Pilgrims were God-centered, covenantal, reformed Christians. God blessed them with a generational faith that penetrated through 4-5 generations, and laid tremendous foundations for a nation. Alas, it is the colleges—Harvard...

36 of the American States are mandating face coverings in public and over 100 countries have followed suit.  Here we attempt to deal with all 487 facets to the mask discussion. (That may be a slight exaggeration.) Those who are campaigning for freedom are after a good thing. . .but they should ask a question first. Why are there so many princes around here? 

Over 98% of campaign finance contributions from the internet tech industry went to leftist causes in the 2020 elections. The agenda is sewn up — a monolithic, cultural juggernaut. It’s an anti-Christian, pro-homosexual, politically-correct, racially-tense, snowflake-driven, Gramscian totalitarian operation controlling the Tech World today. And, Christian employees had better stay in line with it,...

Based on past history, empires and big nations don’t last much longer than 250 years. That’s coming up in 6 years, per Cal Thomas. The root cause of national social decay will be the abdication of men. We point out that the 7 nations in the world where man have abdicated in leadership are sinking fast by GDP/capita. Where men are still alive and active, the GDP/capita is still on the rise. What ha...

Evolution can’t explain origins very well, but it certainly, most definitively cannot explain the brain. Whence comes Ideas? What is this moral conscience? What about logic? What about cognitive propositions? Are these things just the product of chemical processes. . . . in a purely material world? Why should I pay attention to Grass Growing in the Back Yard? Kevin Swanson interviews Bradley Sickl...

We analyze the “second wave” of COVID-19, and then consider the annual mortality impact of COVID-19 compared to the Opioid Crisis and the Spanish Flu. So far, it was only 0.08 years lost on the overall mortality rate relative to non-epidemic mortality. Then, we take a look at the unhealthiest nations in the world, and find there are much bigger fish to fry than COVID-19, overall. But what does God...

The social fallout coming by the rising divorce/marriage rate and illegitimacy rate is only now playing out, and will between 2020 and 2060. But, what about the pastors? Will the pastors be examples to the flock? Or do we see a capitulation on matters like sin, repentance, and the necessity of the fruit of righteousness in the lives of believers? What do these guys teach, and do ideas really have...

What’s up with David Stockman and Paul Craig Roberts. . .Reagan’s advisers from the 1980s? . . . Forecasting death camps, international economic bankruptcy, and the end of a 30-year experiment in Keynesian banking.  Will cooler heads prevail? Or is this no time for cool heads? People are wondering whether Christians should flee the nation, or shall we stick around and learn to navigate the cancel...

The Christian Evangelicals supported Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in the election of 1932 by a ratio of 8 to 1, as compared to Roman Catholics. Worst of all was the “Aryan paragraph” at the Evangelical Church’s annual synod meeting in 1933. How might the evangelical church today waffle on abortion, socialism, and Christian persecution today? While the Netherlands Protestant Church is finally ap...

The nanny state converges with the police state to produce a not so velvet-gloved totalitarianism. Bradley Pierce, attorney with Heritage Defense talks family freedoms, detention, forced vaccines, contact tracing, and family separation. What are the disincentives to refusing the vaccines? What should you do now to avoid family separation and further loss of liberties?

Young people are getting divorced in the church at higher rates. Dragging self-centeredness, porn habits, wrong expectations into marriage can be disastrous. Here we discuss how to ride Level 4 and 5 rapids in the young marriage. . . lower your center of gravity, humble yourself, and lean in!
