The Generations Radio Program

A Christian preschool in Sweden has recently banned prayer. In this edition of the Generations radio program, Kevin and Steve address the issue of Christians compromising under the tyrannical thumb of an ungodly government. What will it take for the parents of the next generation to raise their children in the fear of God? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View ...

Chief Justice John Roberts took the wrong position on the latest Arkansas homosexuality case, reducing the conservative minority on the Supreme Court to three. Now that the Supreme Court will take up the Denver baker case, how will the high court rule on religious liberties? We review the case in light of God's laws. We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. But we are also called to k...

So much of education is a waste of time, because there is little life integration to the material. Stuffing facts into kids' heads doesn't really do much. So how does one educate for real life? We interview Danielle Papageorgiou on the Lifeschooling Conference in North Carolina. Is it time for a Copernican Revolution in education? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson...

Samoa turns its constitution into a more self-consciously Christian document to avoid contamination from Western governments. The Russian Orthodox Church rebukes the Protestant apostasy in Scotland. All are examples of Jesus’s approach for His kingdom - the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. We also compare the Protestant apostasies to the Catholic apostasies and find similar tenden...

News outlets are reporting on more homeschool families so taken by wrath, anger, and sin that they spiral into murder. The question that comes back again and again. Are the environmental influences more significant than the human heart? Why do media influences like heavy metal music and violent computer games bear more influence on some kids than others? What would Jesus say about this age? We dis...

News stories tells us of reformed guys arrested for DUI charges. Our listeners are asking questions about the new, popular "Beer Bible Studies." Are these of edification to the saints? We discuss ditch-ology — the two ditches always lining both sides of the narrow path. Reformed licentiousness and fundamentalist legalisms (extra-biblical rules) are always a problem. Then, we review the p...

Why do the masses migrate so quickly to every conspiracy imaginable? Alex Jones is concerned about powerful manipulators, but then so is Bernie Sanders. The influence of the anti-establishment right and left is not be ignored. But what is the standard by which to determine right and wrong, or good and evil? Of course there is a conspiracy — Psalm 2 makes that very clear. But how do Christians inte...

A Congressman is shot. The inflammatory rhetoric is encouraging more violence and more blood on the streets. What is the root problem with those who want to “fix” the problem with violence and murder? What is the root problem with the angry father or mother in the home? Wayne Mack, author of the book “Anger and Stress Management - God’s Way” explains the difference between good stress and bad stre...

Some are saying that Contemporary Christian Music is dying or dead. The genre is always caught in the tension between the ministry and the industry of it. We replay the David Wilkerson scene when he stood up in a concert and cried out, “Ichabod! This is Satanic!” How would Jesus address the popularity contest thing? What would Jesus think about CCM? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin...

The Bachelor in Paradise scandal and the Bill Cosby Trial present the best pretense of moral outrage. Fox News is upset with the Democrats for using the S-word, but they’re just find with Republicans abusing God’s Name. We also compare Katy Perry’s apostasy with Bob Dylan’s growing interest in Christ. This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam...

Almost every major leader of every major nation in Europe is childless. What does this mean for the future of Europe? How do childless leaders develop policy that might benefit future generations? They won’t. That’s the simple answer. It is over for Europe. But what about America? How would you prepare for the future of nations on a suicidal bent? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin S...

The real problem with the Swedish Satanic Metal Band “Ghost” is not their chanting to Beelzebub and songs about human sacrifice. The real problem with them is that they deny the supernatural and sin. Now, the band is bound up in law suits, “unabashed dishonesty, greed, darkness.” That’s what they’re confessing to, but was there any surprise that a band sold out to Satan would be dishonest, greedy,...

If Jesus were visiting American churches, where would He be ministering? Where would He go? Now more than ever, we need to seek out the highways and byways, and find those who need the message of the Gospel, and the care of Jesus' people. These are every day people doing every day ministries in prisons, rest homes, and with adoptive children. This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin S...

Parents from Oregon choose not to use the American Medical Association recommended system for taking care of a premie baby, and the government charges them with murder. Meanwhile, parents in England had to watch their premie gasping for breath and dying, because the child didn’t qualify for medical care. Either way the child dies, and the parents must suffer. Kevin Swanson carefully walks through...

Nobody was very surprised that Fox News Channel is collapsing under the weight of multiple sexual harassment scandals. The sexual objectification and soft porn that characterized the Fox News website gave us a sense of the management of the organization. We take a look at what the Bible says about sexual innuendo, sexual harassment, and the slight differences between the hypocrisy of Fox News and...

The New Yorker Magazine features an article on the recent history of dystopian fiction, and its not a pretty sight. Modern dystopian literature is untrusting, lonely, sullen, helpless, and hopeless — unlike the older stuff. We also do a spread-sheet analysis on box office receipts on dystopian films, and find an exponential rise in just 20 years. What is happening to the post-modern world? The wor...

Public colleges are increasingly liberal, and entirely unhelpful at addressing either racism or illiteracy. They rather further encourage the breakdown of national unity and education. Nonetheless this is nothing do. They’ve been radicalizing students since the 18th Century. We discuss Shakespeare’s homo-erotic love sonnets, the obscenities in his plays, and the bad metaphysics in Romeo and Juliet...

Does God have an opinion when it comes to education? Israel Wayne says, “Yes!” And so do men like John Murray, Gordon Clark, R.J. Rushdoony, and J. Gresham Machen. Should we be listening to them? We get into the nitty gritty of what this Christian education looks like. What about Christian Schools? Are they any better than public schools? This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2....

What does the church or the Christian school do when the pastor’s daughter or the board president’s daughter turns up pregnant out of wedlock? The New York Times featured an article which pitted pro-lifers against a Christian school that took a stand against pre-marital fornication (and tried to enforce their "rules"). This brings up a discussion on the nature of repentance, the problem...

NPR’s Scott Simon makes note to atheist Richard Dawkins that atheist organizations are never seen helping people during wars, tragedies, or famines. But, why would atheists choose to be altruistic? The motive is going to be self-interest, unless there is a God-interest. We also take a look at the rise in suicide among the millennials, esp. with young girls. We cover the new television program “13...

Prejudicial Caricatures and Media Propaganda against certain sects constitute the first step towards persecution and genocides -- witness: Germany and Rwanda. Eccentric cults and Biblical Christians are being targeted in television programs and first-person shooter games.  We take a look at Far Cry 5 and The Handmaid's Tale as prime exhibits.  This program includes:  1. Generations with Kevin...

We do a quick review on the summer movie fare on this edition of Generations. The persona of Wonder Woman finds roots in Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. Jack Sparrow of the Pirates of the Caribbean finds his roots in guys who hung on the gallows in 1721. Shall we encourage our children to endear themselves to guys who are drunk, commit adultery, and habitually steal from others...

Some are wondering if Russia's draconian anti-evangelism is bringing the nation back to the days of the Soviet tyranny. We status the situation by first hand account from a Russian believer on this edition of the program. This program includes: 1. Generations with Kevin Swanson 2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Texas State Lawmaker Receives Death Threats, Volunteer Youth Mento...

Reformers of the 1920s like J. Gresham Machen saw the educational institutions and government-controlled systems as “far more dangerous” than the crude tyrannies of the past.  What would he say about our present day — with 5 times more government (as a percentage of the GNI) and 10 times more immorality?  We have hardly recognized the damage done to the family and to the church by our modern syste...

Young people are looking for cool churches and cool tattoos, or both. What do Christian parents say to their children who are planning to get tattoos? Is the church still interested in fulfilling the Great Commission and teaching them to observe what God has commanded including laws pertaining to prostitution, tattoos, cannibalism, and divination? How do we disciple the nations in 21st Century Ame...
