The Generations Radio Program

Just when we thought science would save us, modern man is turning on himself. His bad economics are killing him. His bad worldview is killing him. His bad science is killing him. Life expectancy has dropped for the first time since Mao's Giant Leap Backward back in the 1950s. How has post-modern man tripped and fallen on his face? His economic prosperity is bankrupt and has become counterprod...

George Barna is the bearer of more bad news, now with only 1% of Gen Z'ers holding to a biblical worldview (as pretty minimally defined). That's down from 12% in 1995. The Christian worldview situation in America is still bleeding out like a stuck pig . . . after 25 years of hard work on the part of Christian worldview ministries. What gives? Some of this is due to the infiltration of se...

Will we be surprised at who we see in Heaven? Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss some unexpected salvation stories in this edition of Generations. Raquel Welch—a Reformed Presbyterian? Steve McQueen converted a year before he died? Could God be this merciful?

We take a moment to review the New York Businessman's Revival of 1859, the Welsh Revival, the Korean Pentecost, and the Crossweeksung Revival with David Brainard. Does a holy anticipation, unified corporate prayer, and mountain-moving faith matter when it comes to unusual visitations of the Holy Spirit in corporate reviving? We all want to be part of something that is spiritually alive, that...

Young people today appear to be riddled with depression and low self-esteem. However, many young people in college also expect to be paid a six-figure salary upon entering the workforce. Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan address this odd phenomenon in our world today.

With everything going woke now, and Walmart about as bad as Target by the “woke indexes,” must we boycott just about every company now? We review the 1792 Exchange and 2ndVote.com, and consider the strategy when the opposing team has got us on our own 2-yard line. What are you called to do when it comes to standing for righteousness in an unrighteous world?

We take up two relevant contemporary examples of how God's law must be maintained as the standard for human society. Governments have a choice between God's law or chaos. What must governments do when dogs kill humans? What do Christians say about efforts to reparations for those who have served as slaves, or those who have been kidnapped by Muslim slave traders in the 18th century, or t...

A "redoubt" is a small, often temporary, defensive fort, and some are attempting this in northern Idaho. We are back to the discussion—is this a time to concentrate the salt? Are we in a defensive position? Where can we live where the petty tyrants and big government tyrants might just leave us alone? Strategy, agenda, and calling is important and worth discussing. Will we shift our ener...

Jimmy Carter has a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ," and he believes that "Jesus Christ would approve gay marriage." Lesson learned: the American liberal theology of the 20th century yielded the liberal politics of the 20th century. And, beware of pat religious phrases stuffed with the wrong theology. We analyze former President Jimmy Carter's faith rooted in the...

Families are moving out of the big blue cities into the red states, and they get 10 times the house for half the price (or something like that). But this brings up the bigger questions: Are Christians called to minister in the inner cities? Or will they make a bigger impact (culturally speaking) in the rural counties? Are we called to separatism or puritanism? We grapple with these big questions a...

The stock market has turned into a casino. Nearly half the options on S&P 500 stocks as well as on SPY and QQQ have maturities of less than 24 hours (0DTE). This means that everybody is after a quick buck . . . a REALLY quick buck . . . about as quick as a slot machine in Vegas. Now, 60% of options traded had maturities of 1-2 days, up from 0% in 2010, and 6% in 2018. Investor-to-gambler ratio...

After 80 years, the "Doomsday Clock" has been moved up to 90 seconds before midnight. That’ the closest humanity has ever been to “Armageddon.” What’s the worldview operating here? Worldly scientists have turned more pessimistic than ever, but will this be a self-fulfilling prophecy? We remind our listeners God is control, and He is destabilizing the nations. But, Christians must submit...

Worldviews clash on this program, as Jen Wilkin encourages Christian families to support the public schools, allow for a pluralistic polytheistic worldview in the public schools, while being sure to avoid the "Christianizing" of public schools. Must we support a Marxist approach, allowing all children equal opportunities and equal access to wealth? Are we supposed to send our children in...

The national media is all abuzz with what is happening at Asbury College in Kentucky. So far, 100,000 people have made their pilgrimage to the scene of the revivals. But how does the Bible define revival? What is it to be revived spiritually, and what are the biblical indications of a true Holy Spirit outpouring? Why is preaching and the Word of God more on the back burner with modern revivals—dis...

What may be the most well-publicized, horrific murders in America as decried by the media has a redemptive element to it. The liberals hate God's redemption and God's law, but for some reason they get very preachy and religious in their deprecations for Charles Manson. Kevin Swanson points out how God redeems some murderers. Charles Tex Watson outlines the sins he committed to lead him t...

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Allan Parker , President of The Justice Foundation , who asserts that there are some intriguing similarities between the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education and the 2022 Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization rulings of the Supreme Court. In both cases, the Supreme Court admitted it was wrong. In the first, they admitted that the races should not be segr...

Jesus gets a billion-dollar promotional campaign with Super Bowl ads, etc. The focal points are humanity, identification with man's feelings, and opposing hate and polarization. But still, Christ crucified doesn't market that well. What's the objective? Where are we going with all of our efforts? Let's keep the objective in mind—disciple the nations, call to repentance, and tea...

Artificial Intelligence isn’t coming. It’s already here. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are well ahead of us in developing A.I. The worldview coming out of it is decidedly leftist. So how does this tie into a Biblical worldview? On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus address concerns over worldviews, artificial intelligence, and technology.

Here are four questions to ask to determine if sports is turning into an idol in your life. When did Sunday sports replace church attendance at Lord's Day observance? We go over some of the wrong and right uses of sports, and close on God's definition of rest and pleasure (vs. what man comes up with for himself).

Here's a report from the worst of the worst suffering on Earth when it comes to Christian persecution. It doesn't get any worse than this in terms of the number of martyrs, refugees, and kidnappings. But for us, this is the opportunity of the millennium to serve the tortured body of Christ, the least of these His brothers. Donate here:   https://equippingthepersecuted.org/

We are questioned about pastors with facial piercings and cranial implants. And, what about converted neo-nazis sporting swastikas, converted Muslims wearing kufis, and converted homosexuals who carry on adorning themselves in feminine apparel? This brings up a short discussion on semiotics. What we are looking for is a little honesty, a true reflection of a worldview, and a self-consistent applic...

A discussion on gender-neutral language with the TNIV and NIV leads to an investigation into Christian publishing. The timeline of Zondervan, Thomas Nelson, and Multnomah selling out to secular companies pretty much marks the collapse of American Christianity in the 2000s. Now, 54% of the large Christian publishers are owned by the likes of Harper Collins and Random House . . . in case anybody was...

Has Kirk Cameron left behind "Left Behind?" We consider a recent interview clip featuring Kirk, in the wake of another film episode of Left Behind ("The Rise of the Antichrist"). Does a certain eschatology require a pessimistic view of the church? What about polishing the brass on a sinking ship? How did short-term evangelism take the place of digging in for longer-term discipl...

Here is a candid conversation on maintaining sexual purity in ministry, and as well for any young man who is in the battle and preparing for ministry. How do we engage regular disciplines, self-control, right accountability and transparency, and spiritual defensive and offensive warfare with the devil? Kevin Swanson catches up with his brother (from the mission field in the Philippines) on the top...

The 2023 Grammys Award ceremony celebrated artists and songs featuring transgenderism, Satanism, and profanity. But the Grammys have turned into an irrelevant side show. Among 77 of the top-selling albums of all time, only 1 comes from the last 20 years . . . and that was 12 years ago. Popular music and the popular icons that go with it is done. It's over for the pop-culture phenomenon of the...
