The Generations Radio Program

Can a hardcore gamer survive a real-world crisis?  How can the gamer be saved and come back into contact with the true reality of God’s world? That’s the question that Phillip Telfer grapples with in his new novel “Why Save Alexander.” This makes for an interesting discussion on Generations. 

Pride comes before destruction and haughty spirit before a fall. It was the year of Christian apostasy, surprising conversions, evangelicalism cracking and dividing, the death of manhood, despair deaths, Pride-lust Marches, the failure of the Democrat establishment, and a rising persecution against Christian schooling, Christian discipleship, and homeschooling around the world. This is our annual...

The left is more interested in imposing salvation by the state with ineffectual crusades and do-gooder agendas. Their imposed salvations become more tyranny, more taxation, and more frustration and futility for all. They miscalculate badly concerning the nature of man and the purpose of civil government. We point to the guy who was sentenced 15 years for blaspheming the god of homosexuality, and b...

Twenty years ago, Christianity Today Magazine had claimed that President Clinton was “morally unable” to lead the nation. Now, the same magazine claims consistency in recommending the removal of President Trump on moral grounds. Are 82% of evangelicals being hypocritical with their approval of Donald Trump over Bill Clinton? Evangelicalism is splitting down the center, and this provides an interes...

While there has been some interest in the German Reformation of 1517, there has not been much said of the Swiss Reformation, which got its start in 1519.  It was the Swiss Reformation that had the most influence on France, Scotland, England, and America — more so than the German. One simple practice marked this great reformation. Could something similar happen in churches today?

The first indications of decentralization of power back to the states have come through the US Supreme Court.  Kevin Swanson provides insight into what the end of empires have looked like throughout history, all of which provides hope for freedom and Christian influence once more. 

It’s the richest nation in the world, but with the most broken-down families in the world. America is falling down. When man’s hopes are put in man, inevitably he will wind up over the line of despair. Life expectancy has dropped off since 2011, all attributed to what is known as "despair deaths." We point to Psalms 42, 77, and 143 as the great need for the day.

Hallmark Channel (and Chick Fil-A) have managed to make everybody mad, when pulled in to the homosexual morass. Why must they give in to the homosexual community, which makes up only 2% of the population vs. the 50% of heartland America that is watching their channel? But, then we turn to the more basic question. Shall we watch Hallmark movies at all? What’s the worldview behind the "redempti...

Seismic political shifts are happening in the two most powerful nations in the world (in earlier centuries).  The UK and the US are seeing the biggest political moves of the 21st century — indicating shifts towards nationalism or just de-centrism.  The media is contributing to the serious cracking up of national unity, but what is it that is bringing about the loss of national unity?  What is the...

What would it look like if America had a revival of reformational proportions?  The English reformation shook the world, and produced a special piety — a down-to-earth, all-of-life commitment to Christ. Lives were transformed and so were entire institutions. Could this happen again? Dr. Joel Beeke shares on his expertise with this most amazing reformation of Christian life.  What would it look lik...

The Institute for the Family discovers in a recent study that the incidence of premarital sexuality among evangelicals is almost exactly the same as that of Catholics.  Is the evangelical family as the same lowest denominator as what is found among Catholics?  Does the evangelical doctrine provide for any real substantial faith, or does it all sink to about the same level?  Perhaps it is time to d...

Time Magazine’s Person of the Year—she is a phenomenon. But more than that, Greta Thunberg is the ultimate iconic picture of the death of the west. On the one hand, here is a little one who needs the Lord, a Savior, badly. Finland’s new prime minister is also the very incarnation of a lost generation. She is a 34-year-old daughter of a lesbian. But, our attention turns to the church. It is interes...

It's a Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego moment for the Christian colleges in America associated with the CCCU. The evangelical and CCCU support of the "Fairness for All Except for Jack Phillips" bill in Congress is the most disappointing, treacherous, embarrassing, and fruitless concession to the homosexual zeitgeist ever seen in Christian history.  Here is a clarion call to the Chr...

Some conservatism that masquerades as the opposite of liberalism is just as dangerous as liberalism. Modern media sets individual autonomy against corporate humanist autonomy, and both of them are equally bad. Milo Yiannapolois is an excellent representative of this paradigm. CPAC and Breitbart act out their horror with pedophilia while they are just fine with homosexuality. The hypocrisy drips. W...

Who said Carbon Dioxide is bad for the world?  Who said global warming was bad?  And, what is the truth value of the statement — “global warming is human caused?”  When scientists have abandoned humility and the fear of God, the conclusions drawn have little to do with real science, real data, and honest interpretation of the data.  Kevin Swanson interviews Gregory Wrightstone, author of “The Inco...

The most religious candidate in the 2020 elections is turning out to be Mayor Pete Buttigieg — who also happens to be the homosexual candidate. Buttigieg is in top running in Iowa and New Hampshire right now, and could be the Democrat choice for president. Why are Democrats like Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Barack Obama so much more familiar with the Bible, and likely to quote the Bible? I...

Drugging associated with The American Boy Disease (ADHD) has doubled in just 5 years, and the diagnosing of ADHD has increased 7 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. 

A substitute teacher in Utah was hurried off school property when she made the “mistake” of telling the class that homosexuality was a sin.  The leader of the Southern Baptists encourages us to be “nice” and capitulate to using preferred pronouns.  But, would Jesus use a preferred pronoun for one attempting to change their God-given gender? Would He give credence to a lie?  Will Christians be will...

A historic moment approaches as America’s third impeachment trial appears on the horizon. Although Nixon’s impeachment never made the house, we analyze the moral implications involved with the Clinton, Nixon, Andrew Johnson, and Trump’s impeachment investigations/trials.  What does God’s law instruct us on these things? Then, Kevin Swanson asks the more fundamental question. What in the world are...

As medicine turns increasingly pro-death, what are the alternatives for medical training?  Christians will seek islands of freedom and opportunity in other avenues. We discuss the blessings of children, Christian medical training, and alternatives to the pro-death culture on this edition of the program. 

Frozen II is seen by Christian movie reviewers as more dangerous and more self-consciously pagan than the first installment of the franchise. Elsa’s magic abilities are sourced in nature-centric paganism, the four elemental spirits, each of which is given its own totem. What is the resurgence of interest in the occult, the secretive, and the weird among Christians? Is it time to burn our books, mo...

The Chick Fil-A controversy rages on with various Christian leaders taking different positions on Chick-Fil-A’s backing away from the Salvation Army and throwing support behind the pro-homosexual, pro-abortion Covenant House Ministry.  But, Kevin Swanson asks a  more fundamental question here.  Must we fracture over who supports this or that business?  And, why are businesses so heavily politicize...

The modern world has brought back child prostitution, homosexuality, and child killing — old pagan habits which dominated in the most depraved cultures before Christ came into the world. Shall Christians engage campaigns to go after human trafficking, infanticide, and homosexuality, when they ignore their own sins (and will not address the matter of fulfilling their own obedience per 2 Corinthians...

Are there reasons to thank God this Thanksgiving season? Four times in history, America was going down-hill fast. But, by the mercies of God, America experienced a spiritual revival. The stories are truly phenomenal and should be told to our children and our grandchildren around the dining room table. These stories inspire hope in us that He may have mercy on us again, and again.

One revival that shook the whole world more than any other came in Scotland in the 1820s.  No other revival spurred on a larger worldwide missionary movement like this one.  The waves hit Asia, Africa, Oceania, and South America with a force that is still being felt to this day. What are the precursors to such revivals?  Could this world still see Holy Spirit fire like this again?  Kevin Swanson d...
