The Generations Radio Program

The greatest crisis in our time may not be political or economic, but rather generational. The faith once passed carefully from father to son is now often neglected within a single generation. In this episode, the dads discuss how to recover a biblical vision for continuity: fathers and grandfathers taking responsibility to declare the works of God, cultivate humility, and invest intentionally in...

In Canada, more humans than dogs are being euthanized — and it’s not even close. Now liberals are on the verge of controlling their parliament, and a majority of MPs have voted to criminalize quoting Scripture’s teaching on sexuality. But they are hardly alone. Kevin and Bill discuss the state of the West…Colorado’s liberal shift into one of the most evil states in America…and how Christians shoul...

Should Christians support foreign wars in places like the Middle East, or refuse them? Kevin and Josh examine just war theory, civil authority, and whether Christian families should support their sons fighting in foreign conflicts. Who bears the responsibility for determining a just war—the magistrate or the individual conscience? Download the episode MP3 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/e...

Is education about information—or formation? Kevin and Danny return to a conversation on Greek vs biblical education and the aberrant views of knowledge that have led to apostasy in the West. What shapes a child more: Aristotle or the Word of God? Should schooling aim at intellectual excellence, or at discipleship that engages the head, heart, and hands? And in the end, what are the biblical princ...

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of America, Kevin speaks with George Grant about how the Great Awakening birthed the American culture of liberty — plus how the founding fathers recovered sphere sovereignty from Scripture…how modern Christians have swapped application and principle…which American founders were the most dedicated Christians…and what sustained America the most over the past 2...

He who troubles his house shall inherit the wind — so a workaholic is no better than a sluggard. The panel discusses keeping it between these ditches: breaking a control-freak mindset…three warning signs of burnout…examples of how to reduce high stress levels…what it looks like to apply the Sabbath principle every Sunday…and ultimately entering the rest of the Lord, and exemplifying that rest to o...

Kevin talks with Jed Coppenger about 10 traps of an inauthentic faith. They discuss spotting those hypocrisies which don’t fit our pet molds…questions to ask ourselves to flush out hypocrisy in our own lives…how to spot when we’re majoring on the minors (and minoring on the majors)…what to do when church leaders are exposed as fakes…and when being active for Jesus is a way to avoid being intimate...

Kevin and Josh take on a listener's question about racial comfort and church choice. They talk about the two equal and opposite ditches of the woke church and the racist church…how the gospel is the only force powerful enough to dissolve ethnic enmity…what Ephesians 2:14 and Revelation 7:9 say about the unity Christ purchased……and how being an A-to-Z discipleship church is essential to crossi...

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation pro-homosexual “Corporate Equality Index” was down from 377 to 131 companies this year. What role did Trump’s “bully pulpit” play — and is it affecting the bastions of humanism in Hollywood and the universities? Is it turning around the NFL’s persecution of Christian players who won’t bow to the idol of LGBTQ? When Persia, Greece, and Rome fell, the last step b...

Kevin talks to James Baird about his new book, King of Kings. They discuss the myth that Christ’s kingdom is exclusively spiritual…how people mistake His patience with rebellious states for absence…what “Christ is Lord” actually implies for our doctrine of government…how this ties into Christian Nationalism and “public spirit”…and the three historical principles of rulership that a Christian repre...

What is the relationship between family and church — and how important should church be in the family’s priorities? If the church itself is a family, how does the natural family fit into it…without getting erased? How much should Sunday revolve around church (and the rest of the week)? What are the ways dad should be engaging at church — and how can every member of the household find a place and g...

Iran is a key nation in the world today; the largest and strongest in the middle East. Kevin speaks with pastor Pooyan Mehrshahi to understand what is happening spiritually in Iran. They discuss how the Ayatollahs disillusioned the Iranians from Islam…the dangers this exposes them to as they grope for a replacement…the extent of Christian persecution and martyrdom…how the Bible is being spread thr...

Kevin and Josh tackle a question about the place of emotions in the life of the Christian. They talk about how our emotions relate to our affections…three biblical foundations that root our emotional expressions…what proper emotion in worship should look like…whether we are responsible for what we feel…the biblical means for training our emotions…and whether the modern idea of triggering is just e...

Doug Wilson’s video about why not to homeschool has 25,000 views in 6 months. But is he right? Kevin and Danny discuss what we are raising our children to be — and whether classical schooling gets there. Can Aristotle teach us to debate better than Peter? Is academics the chief focus — or just a fraction of full-orbed discipleship and dominion? Can the trivium produce worshipers? Ultimately, shoul...

Alex Newman, editor at New American Magazine, discusses his research into the Epstein scandal. How bad was it really? (Turns out it can’t adequately be described on a family show.) Will the men involved get away with it? Why do witnesses keep dying? Why are the authorities doing so little, when they exist to punish evil? Would indicting the key players leave a leadership vacuum in the US? And how...

With the average marriage age at 29–32, the average man hooked on porn, and the average woman a feminist, it’s not easy finding godly suitors. How are we to identify them? How picky should we be? Bill and Todd share their lists of non-negotiables, and the panel discusses sending kids out in search of spouses…the dangers of “courtship” (and what to do instead)…whether chaperones are a good idea….an...

Where did the universe come from? The big bang is the most popular theory, with 70% of Americans being believers. But how did that happen? Where did the matter come from? How can we get evidence from 13.8 billion years ago, to test this theory? And if these conjectures cannot be truly tested, are they really science? Kevin and Bill discuss the limits of scientific inquiry, the testimony of Scriptu...

How bad is transgenderism? Does God abominate it as he does other sexual perversions? Can you be a “transgender Christian” or is that like saying an “incestuous Christian” or a “wiccan Christian?” If a young Christian man comes to believe he is actually a woman, just how serious is that, and what should we say to him? More importantly, what will Christ say on the last day — if he doesn’t repent? D...

In the 1600s, the best of the Reformation converged on America…covenanted together under God…and took His law as the basis for their government. By 1880, America had the largest GDP in the world. Today, Americans contribute 90% of global charity. God’s blessing has rested on us for 250 years, and to this day, we are the most God-blessed nation. Kevin and Danny discuss what happened to bring such b...

Kevin talks with Owen Strachan about how Christ restores relationships as well as truth — and the surprising elements of the gospel which attract gen Z. They look at the natural life through supernatural lenses, discussing the revolutionary act of building healthy, joyful lives…the appeal of structure, stability, and order…and whether we are pilgrims on the way to the celestial city, or dominion-t...

What can you do if you have children from toddlers to teenagers, and you feel like you’re not making headway with family discipleship? What are the top issues to focus on, and strategies to follow? The panel talks about going beyond family worship…ways to find one-on-one time with lots of kids…big mistakes…the role of the church…and the best things their own parents did. Download the episode MP3 h...

Movies are the most powerful teaching tool in our culture. In the 60s and 70s, a small group of studios led the West by the nose into moral revolution — and the Academy Awards continue to reward films romanticizing evil. But Americans’ embrace of moral relativism has flatlined in the past 10–15 years. Hollywood has lost its grip on the American mind — and now there is a great opportunity for indep...

Should we fast — and does fasting somehow make God pay more attention to our prayers? Is it a way for God to test the sincerity of our petitions…and if so, are there wrong ways to pray and fast? But then, why even pray at all when God is sovereign? How can our petitions change His eternal decree about what will come to pass?

Kevin speaks to Sam Rust about whether patriotism is a good thing for Christians — and if so, what a patriot should think about MAGA, trade protectionism, nationalism, and America First. They discuss the positives, and negatives, of the USA…whether any central identity still remains to love…the gospel hope upon which America was founded…and whether it is possible to revive that heritage. Download...

Plato’s totalitarian paternalistic state has finally been actualized — and today every secular government believes it must control the education of children. Yet there are signs that this cannot continue. In 1985 America, no one was homeschooled — today, 7% are. Support for public schools has plummeted to just 29%. Kevin talks to Bradley Pierce of Heritage Defense about whether it’s possible to ov...
