The Generations Radio Program

Christians have largely abandoned the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts for its promotion of sexual practices referred to as abominable in Scripture. Now, the USDA has issued new “guidelines” for the homosexualizing of 4-H programs in the rural areas of the nation. The problem, of course, is that what the government funds the government controls. Is it time for Christians to create all of their own p...

America’s monetary system has become increasingly brittle especially after the 1998 and 2008 market crashes.  It’s been ten years since the last big crash, and the debt to GDP ratio is now about twice what it was before the last crash. But should we trust what the Book of Proverbs says about debt and dishonest weights and measures?   Would you trust God’s Word on this one.  How should Christians p...

The world presses a different world and life view on us. . . and it pressures us to live the wrong life, with wrong priorities, wrong perspectives, wrong motivations, wrong goals, and wrong expectations. . . and we wind up with the wrong Schedule, doing the wrong things in life. The results are familiar to a lot of us. . . burn out, adrenal fatigue, overwhelming exhaustion, depression, panic attac...

We visit the front lines of the battle against child sex trafficking on this edition of Generations. Jesus is concerned that we are caring for the “least of these,” and there is no more severe crime than that which is inflicted upon small children.  And, the very worst of the child sex slave trafficking is found in Cambodia and Tunisia.  Kevin Swanson gets a full report on recent rescues from Jeff...

In the 1770s, General George Washington had all the drummers and fifers drum a man who attempted a homosexual act all of the army, “never to return.”  Now, the military is placing a lesbian at the head of the Air Force Academy as Commandant.  What God has called the most debased sin, had become the highest possible virtue in our land.  Shall we send our sons to the Air Force Academy, and place our...

Toys R Us contributed to Planned Parenthood over many years, and now the company is bankrupted (having lost too much of its customer base).  Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!  This introduces a conversation on how many children a family should have.  We answer this question with ten more questions. Whatever happened to the Full Quivering movement?  Too much quivering, over all.

The Christian film genre is raking in the bucks - Over $700 million since 2014, (up from $110 million in 2011-2013).   We analyze the most recent box office buster produced by the Erwin brothers, “I Can Only imagine.” Two themes are working side by side — a redemptive theme and a humanist theme.  Which one wins the day?  We also provide three basic guidelines by which Christians may incorporate fi...

The president signed off on another $500 million for Planned Parenthood, and another $1.3 Trillion big government budget bill. But, what we are really concerned with is the Fox News and Wall Street Journal report on the president’s language. It is a reflection of the nation. The present sexual scandals do not seem to have much of an effect on the president’s approval rating. At root, character is...

ABC News issues a piece on aborted fetuses used in the MMR vaccine. So we ask the question, "Should Christians use these vaccines?" Given that not a single life has been lost to Measles in a decade, so why must California mandate the MMR vaccination? Kevin Swanson answers these questions from clear biblical references. Also, we take a look at pseudo-science in the witness box - what does...

So you thought the 1960s were bad? The percentage of Americans who have “ever tried” marijuana has risen from 4% to 40% since 1969. In the 1960s, Francis Schaeffer talked about the escape from reality and the crossing over of the line of despair. The crossover is almost complete now. The use of mind-altering drugs among Americans (either on the street or over-the-counter) is on the increase. What...

Church is failing Generation Z, but why?  The emotional experience, the lack of confrontation, the entertainment is not going to cut it, if we want to pass on the faith.  Shallow teaching and a piece-meal faith isn’t going to work. We also review the progress of homosexual teen movies, which are meeting a new homosexual teen audience that is growing in leaps an bounds. 

News reports on the the Austin bombing suspect point to his homeschooled background.  As the media seeks the motive, we find it in the human heart.  After 40-50 years of experience working with homeschooling, the Generations team discusses some of the weaknesses or traps that homeschoolers can fall into.  We discuss anti-establishmentarianism and the temptation to anarchy which attends those who k...

Evangelicalism has seen its better days. God is at work around the world, but the Western world is languishing and the old way of training pastors has fallen on hard times. The agenda for training pastors must not be set by scholars. Where is the spiritual training in the field?  Where is the one-on-one discipleship? It’s time to bring a reformation into the preparation of pastors and elders for t...

How do you counteract the godlessness of the day? How do you counteract the power of media, and the alternate teachers and disciplers that want to disciple your children for 40-60 hours per week? How do you counteract the massive apostasy of the millennial generation? Every family needs to address the present scenario with radical faith, radical discipleship, and radical love for God. We discuss t...

The great philosophers of our day are asking the question: if the world is better than ever before with all of its technology and proud empires, why are we so miserable?  Man is still pretending to be optimistic, but it is a fraud.  We take up an article by Andrew Sullivan in New York Magazine.  Man is more dehumanized than ever in the humanistic age.  What gives? Has science saved us or is it des...

Madeline L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time” represented a breakthrough for children’s literature in 1961, introducing pantheism, mediums, and witchcraft to kids.  However, the movie edition was a disappointment to Christians, since Hollywood chose to leave Christ out of the pantheon of the gods.  We take a look at the cheap new age cliches used in these movies, and challenge Christians to get a clue an...

Ireland is the last pro-life country in the Western world. But now, this country is turning pro-abortion on national polls after 1,500 years of Patrick’s influence. What would Patrick think? That's a good question to ask on St. Patrick’s Day 2018. It’s the younger generation that is far more in favor of abortion, and we suggest three reasons why - An evolutionary mindset, a bad example from t...

Public school students emptied out of the classrooms and rushed out on to the streets protesting gun violence, and calling for gun control.  Youth empowerment is a scary thing, and marks something of the judgment of God on a nation (cf. Isaiah 3:4-6). We discuss the importance of honoring parents for the building of culture, that things may go well with us in the land.

Recent articles from Business Insider and Time Magazine keep up the questioning on the college rip-off.  Is college a waste of money, generally? College loans hit $1.5 trillion last year, an increase of 250% since the last recession in 2008.  We compare to Swiss vocational schools and mentorships which have yielded a youth unemploymentrate of only 3%.  But then again, colleges in American have bec...

We take a look at Babylon Bee and the Christian use of satire on this edition of the program. Can you overuse satire when mocking aspects of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ? What about the use of sarcasm or attack humor in the home?  Will the use of satire strengthen the fear of God or weaken it in your life?   These are important and intensely relevant questions for every Christian.  

We search for Christian colleges around the country where there is no compromise, and where there is opportunities for real discipleship.   Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Ben Merkle from New St. Andrews College, and Dr. Paul Michael Raymond with the New Geneva Academy. How does a Christian college avoid the compromises of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton Universities sliding from Christian orthodoxy to...

The Marine Corps has incorporated the first 40 females into combat training, a first in American history. We take a look at the resolutions opposing women in combat from the Southern Baptists, the PCA, the OPC, the RPCNA, and other conservative denominations. Then, we interact with a CNN article which draws out a list of the impossible expectations a feministic, sinful society places upon when in...

Kevin Swanson walks through the process whereby the worst possible vices are made socially acceptable over a period of 70 years.  Beginning with Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope in 1948, the complete debauchment of the nation was finally done by 2018. How do Christians keep themselves away from the frogs in the slowly boiling water?  And, why was Governor Huckabee kicked off the Country Music Association F...

European nations like Italy and France are concerned that the Muslims are moving in and taking over.  What they don’t realize is that the birth rate for Islamic nations in the Middle East and North Africa are birth imploding too, big time. Will the Christian worldview win out in the end, after all?  We also discuss the worthless fights over race and the worldview of racism.  

An American pastor was arrested and charged when he told a young woman at an abortion clinic that she was dead in her trespasses and sins.  A mother in England is willing to go to prison to defend her rights to homeschool her children.  Why are there so few examples of courage in the day in which we live?  For what principle might you be willing to go to prison?  Is it worth it to fight the petty...
