The Generations Radio Program

1970s pop singer and movie star Olivia Newton-John has gone to meet her Maker at 73 years of age. The good-girl-goes-bad persona led a generation of young people the wrong way . . . whether that be the hit movie "Grease" or her hit song "Let's Get Physical." Things are 100 times worse today on the music scene, but these were more important revolutionary steps towards the c...

America's socio-political state has been relatively stable for 230+ years, but now we have taken concerted steps towards revolution. As one Senator put it, we have crossed the Rubicon with the present shenanigans at the highest echelons. But it could never happen here . . . or could it? We review the Killing Fields of Cambodia, the Nazi nightmare, and the Soviet experiment. What were the seed...

There is nothing more pitiful than a pauper pretending to be rich. There is nothing more deceitful than a political party always pretending to decrease tyranny, but instead increasing tyranny on the people—as in the case of the Republican Party. America still thinks she is rich and free, but she is extremely enslaved, poor, broken, bankrupted, wretched, and blind (spiritually and in every other wa...

Praise God for what He is doing with the homeschool movement around the world! The enemy of course is always pushing back on family freedoms and parental rights; the bad guy has control of just about every school system today. But there are parents around the world—and not just in America—who love their children, are willing to stand by faith, and say no to these systems. Michael Donnelly from HSL...

Some of the most challenging situations come up between grandparents and the parents concerning discipline issues with the kids. How do we handle different values and approaches in child training? And, what about older children living in the home who differ with their parents' standards? We handle a few questions from the listening audience on this edition of the program. 

Jordan Peterson issues one more sortie in an effort to save Western civilization, suggesting that young men go to church. The question still to grapple with is this . . . Does the system prevent young men from exercising innate strengths that could preserve human society? Or do the systems enable sin that is already latent within young men . . . and thereby further compound the problem? Interestin...

Christian socialist Ron Sider passed away over the weekend but his legacy remains. Between 30% and 50% of the evangelical population have been influenced by his thinking. We take a look at his argumentation that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden's socialist efforts to "reduce poverty" would do a good job reducing abortion in America . . . whereas Donald Trump would not "substantial...

As what may have been the last best hope for America, Kansas voters go against life by a vote of 59% to 41%—a complete rout. The democratic voting base is rotten to the core, even in the heartland. The US Supreme Court may have repented, but not so the electorate. What would revival look like if the heart of the people and the church repented? 

The first business trip recorded in history found Judah traveling up to Timnath—and it did not turn out very well. Kevin Swanson talks about the anonymity of the city and the resulting hotel porn traps that ensnare so many businessmen.  Then we interview Theresa Bowen from A Candle in the Window Hospitality Network on a Christian ministry that actually promotes Christian fellowship around the worl...

Somebody won the $1.34 billion jackpot in the Mega Millions lottery, but check out the stories of those who live out Proverbs 18:20. Why would Charles Spurgeon, John MacArthur, and others consider gambling a sin? The Age of Greed has given birth to the worldwide economic disaster we are facing today. Here is how it happened.

Millennials are especially upset with the church for being too political, judgmental, and anti-homosexual. But what do they mean by political? Are homosexuality and abortion political issues or ethical issues and sinful issues, which could be very well addressed by the Gospel? Is education a political issue, or a family issue? Definitions are helpful. We review a World Magazine article written by...

Twenty-two percent of Republicans have squished on codifying Obergefell, and have joined the other side among the House of Representatives. This appears to be happening with the US Senate as well. Witnessing the squishing is one of the most outstanding experiences of our generation. But the fault doesn't lie with our politicians. The fault lies with the heart of the people. Seventy-one percen...

We remember the vision and ministry of Marshall Foster, now gone to be with the Lord. And, we look at a less profitable ministry of polemics, and the defrocking of JD Hall—once more or less the king of polemics. The goal here is simply to "take heed lest ye fall." Here are warnings to us conservatives . . . the censorious, and those with the "gift" of negativity and criticism....

God created all of us with the capacity to create artistic expressions and to appreciate them. Sadly, a humanist world has destroyed art, but we are called to godly expression—where the artist glorifies God first, and not man. What makes for good art and bad art? How does modern art revolt against God in the forms of symbolic art, abstract art, or representational art? 

Teen popular culture now has shifted into almost 100% Satanism, homosexuality, and suicide. While Christian parents want to protect their children from these ungodly influences, they can't protect their kids from their own hearts. What do you tell a parent whose teen kids are in rebellion after they've done "all the right things?"

Why do so many worship leaders look so "gay?” That's the subject matter of a recent blog. Is there a lack of repentance? Or is it a lack of God's authority? Are we stuck with weak forms and a weak faith? The influence of romanticism leaves us with homosexuality, effeminacy, simplistic emotional highs, and no real substance of faith, worship, truth, and life. We take a look at a &quo...

How often have we heard about the devastating consequences when children grow up in a fatherless home? They’re more likely to drop out of school, become intimate before marriage, and even turn to a life of crime. But, when Father God intervenes, the sky’s the limit! When a fatherless child experiences the forgiveness of Christ, he can walk in his God-given purpose. Guest host Adam McManus intervie...

Americans have lost their trust in news, with public confidence in TV news dropping off from 46% to 11% since the 1990s—and another 5% in the last year. Public cynicism is high, partly because of a worldview of skepticism and post-modern nihilism sinking into the rank and file. What are the biblical standards for truth-telling and media? We go over some basic guidelines for identifying reliable ne...

Is there still a role for foreign missions work on the part of Western countries? The fields are white all over the world, often much more than what we find in the United States, but God's people are called to be witnesses for Jesus Christ wherever they are. My brother Tim Swanson joins me on this edition of the program to talk about effective mission work, family missions trips, and disciple...

Four hundred police officers couldn't stop a rampage in a primary school, while one armed 22-year-old stopped a massacre in a mall on Sunday night by placing his own life on the line. What gives? There are theological reasons why America and American Christianity has gone soft and given way to courage-less pacifism.

Whether you’re actively serving in the U.S. military, retired from military service, or you’ve been on a search for your purpose as a man, you’ll be encouraged by Chad Robichaux ‘s authenticity. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything ! Yes, he’s a Force Recon Marine and a Pro Mixed Martial Arts Champion. But he’s also incredibly vulnerable! Guest host Adam McManus explores his fascinating life story as the...

The most powerful union in the world and the most influential force in education is the National Education Association. And, the NEA’s agenda is anything but math and spelling. Listeners will be shocked at the clips we take from the NEA Convention held in Chicago last week. The organization is committed to advancing abortion (“reproductive rights”) and homosexuality in schools and every institutio...

While we have finally reached the apex of humanist pride (and confidence in man), this also turns out to be the most disillusioned age in history. What gives? The Gallup Confidence Poll continues to drop year by year since the 1970s . . . sinking another 5-7% just in the last year. Men have lost reason and faith, and the motivation to work. The working male employment ratio continues to drop and h...

Since 1980, half of American faith has dissipated, as measured by those who believe the Bible is God's Word. The apostasy is metastasizing now. Only 20% of Americans believe the Bible is the Word of God, and only 40% of evangelicals say the Bible is the Word of God (a minority). Partly, they don't like biblical ethics, and partly they prefer science over God's revelation. But, in th...

Four Catholic Justices and one liberal Protestant Justice did the right thing in reversing Roe v. Wade. But, why is America more pro-abortion than ever? Why so many deaths by high-efficiency birth control, the Plan B Pill, and the Kill Pill by mail? Is it too early to celebrate the reversal of Roe v. Wade? While it is true some elements of the Christian faith are toughening up, there is still a fe...
