The Barbie Movie is the biggest box office blockbuster of the year so far. But, Barbie was a worldview. She started out a call girl for German men in 1959. She was made both a sex symbol and a feminist at the same time (self-defined, you can be whatever you want to be). She was out to seek role equality for women. Meanwhile, men were reduced to lap dogs, "accessories," partners in sexual sin, irresponsible louts, immature little boys playing computer games, and worst case, "sexual predators." Hers was a terribly destructive worldview for modern society. We end with a basic summary of biblical descriptives for the godly man.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Have you checked yourself into the technology gulag? America sports 85,000,000 surveillance cameras following every move you make. Google maps tracks everywhere you go. Facebook entries, search data, internet clicks, phone calls, texting . . . everything is tracked these days. But the bigger question is whether this technology is hampering your productivity, killing your relationships, and curtailing your freedoms? Is it time to break free from the technology gulag? Here is an engaging interview with Curtis Bowers from Agenda.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The tremendously popular film addressing child trafficking has generated a great amount of discussion online and elsewhere. There are conspiracy theories swirling around the release of the movie, but there are significant worldview issues to consider about this. Would anybody be surprised that the highest echelons of government were supportive of this particular sexual sin when they seem to support every other sexual sin in the book? Watch out for distraction and diversions, the fear of conspiracy and a jettisoning of the fear of God, an ignoring of the sovereignty of God, a failure to acknowledge our own sin, the many feeder sins that pour into this one, and a misidentification of the real sin—the violations of God's laws. These aren't just sins against a child or crimes against governments. Fundamentally, these are sins against a holy God.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We find two basic heresies that are often promoted in country music. Country Music Television cancelled Jason Aldean for suggesting that law and order might work better in small towns. But then, CMT promotes perverted forms of sexuality in their annual awards ceremony in April. Dolly Parton has led the cultural revolution against God's law order since the 1990s, and we conclude that nobody is more responsible for destroying the morals of the heartland and the nation itself than Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks. We present the sharp worldview contrast between what God says and the self-idolatry, self-expression, self-love, and self-definition presented by Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

All the flags are on the field now. A recent survey found that pornography viewing among underaged kids under age 17 now stands at 75%, up from 42% in 2014. While about 300-400 children are kidnapped in this nation each year, 25,000,000 children are introduced to pornography at ages 10-17, with the average age of first exposure at 12 years old. The universities are leading the way on this. Fully 23% of university students have identified as sexually perverted (LGBTQ), and liberal arts colleges claim a homosexual population of 40%. Only 1.5% of Harvard University professors claim to be conservative. Over 80% claim to be liberal, and 37% very liberal—an increase of 8% from the previous year. Parents must wake up and smell the napalm in the war of the worldviews . . . and the war for the minds and souls of their children. Adam and Kevin provide a list of practical things you can do.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Christians fall down before the wicked these days and corrupt the springs. Sadly, the church hardly speaks with a unified voice against the false religions that are capturing our institutions everywhere. Tyranny descends on the nations in every generation largely through fake Christians, do-gooders, prohibitionists, social-gospelites, social justice warriors, and other antinomians. We explain here why Woke is bad, why feminism is bad, and other worldly ideologies that are counter to the laws of God. Churches want to avoid the discussions because they want to avoid controversy, or they say that they are committed to "the Gospel." But the law of God is part of the teaching related to the Gospel itself. Reject the law of God, and you have rejected the Gospel.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Picture the stereotypical liberal academic—the archetypal feminist living the lesbian lifestyle. Is this beyond the reach of Christ's transforming grace and the Spirit's mighty regenerating force? Don't even consider it! Rosaria Butterfield tells the story of her radical conversion from lesbian feminist to pastor's wife and homeschool mom. The world says that it is impossible for a leopard to change its spots and a homosexual to change his/her orientation. But our God specializes in this kind of thing—and yes, it is supernatural.

With the release of the blockbuster film, the fight against child trafficking has become something of the Cause Du Jour. While there are millions of slaves that head towards the Middle East and Africa for Muslim households, and others that are shipped into Europe and North America, we want to be sure to include the full list of causes available in a sinful world. Don't forget the 15,000,000 babies killed every year in this country by abortion and abortifacients . . . and the 12,000,000 young people who have been groomed into homosexuality by the public schools . . . and the 308,000 young people 13-17 years of age that are being encouraged into transgendering right now in this country . . . and the seedbed in which sex trafficking is developed . . . the 150,000,000 people accessing bad websites in this country . . . the 360,000,000 Christians persecuted for their faith . . . as well, the 8 billion people who need the Gospel.

Americans are cooling their enthusiasm somewhat for sodomy and drag queen presentations for 6-year-olds and claiming a little more social conservatism. But, these sins represent only the tip of the iceberg. What about the rest of the iceberg? America is the porn capital of the world by a factor of 12-fold (on a per capita basis). Pro-aborts are much more passionate about the issue than pro-lifers . . . on average. In 2004, there were only 5% committed pro-abortion voters . . . that has increased to 17%. In 2004, there were about 9% committed pro-life voters . . . now it's still about 9%.

Sadly, it was the liberal arts and literature of nations that led the apostasy of nations and opened the door to mainstreaming homosexuality. The pioneers were William Shakespeare, Marlowe, Walt Whitman, Louisa May Alcott, and Oscar Wilde. The great literary giants seduced the mind and the heart of a nation over a generation, and they're still doing it. We go over Shakespeare's homosexual sonnets, Louisa May Alcott's testimony on her lifelong gender confusion, and Oscar Wilde's testimony at his trial. The greatest risk in the education of children is literature and the curriculum chosen. It's time for a reformation in liberal arts, especially among homeschooling families.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Harry Potter is the biggest pop-cultural phenomenon in the post-Christian zeitgeist today. The tenth movie in the franchise raked in $400 million last week at the box office. After reading the eighteenth encouragement from Christian reformed/classical/literary enthusiasts to embrace Harry Potter, Kevin Swanson finally reads the book and watches a Harry Potter film. Shall we encourage our eight-year-olds into this fantasy genre? Or would this sign us up for the Matthew 18:6 treatment?

Most everybody acknowledges by now that there is something very wrong with the modern evangelical mess. Young people are seeking the authentic, the biblical, the true, the essential, and the foundational. It is the God-centered. It is the work of God, not the work of man. It is the fear of God . . . and heart-love for God—and it will manifest itself in music.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

After fifty years of incorporating women leadership into churches, the survey is in . . . women lead in dying denominations. A careful analysis of women-led denominations indicates terrible trends towards liberalism and serious membership attrition. Where men abdicate as spiritual leaders in family and church, the results are catastrophic for the faith in following generations. Steadfast anchoring to faith amidst the storms will require men at the helm. The breakdown of men in family and church is a curse on society. The judgment of God is seen upon a nation where men are walking down the river. And, there is no fixing a nation or churches without a restoration of men . . . who will retain faith in God . . . and begin to lead again in home and church.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The wrong view of man's nature results in the wrong view of everything, leading to tyranny, the centralization of power and wealth in the hands of a few oligarchs, and the demolition of nation states. Here is an article from the American Thinker that carefully details how the centralization of control of money leads to the slow but steady destruction of an economy through inflationary policies. John Maynard Keynes showed his cards at one point, admitting that, "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million can diagnose."New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Should Christians involve themselves politically? Should the church warn civil leaders? Why is the church so paralyzed when it comes to cultural matters? We can speak of escaping the world, ignoring the world, transforming the world, or amalgamating into worldly culture—but is anybody speaking of “overcoming” the world? That’s the word to use, because it is the biblical word. Here we review Eric Metaxas’s book “Letter to the American Church.” New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

They come in like a storm and they burn out like a bad rocket. These billionaires are the wrong guys to change the world, but they somehow think they will succeed. We consider the worldviews of these insta-billionaires churned out of the tech industry over the last 15 years. Is this a scientific experiment that's going badly wrong? Or is this a bad ego trip? Or did this get-rich-quick scheme get way out of hand? We point out profound differences between the old billionaires that developed an Industrial Age which upped the average household income ten-fold, and the new Information Age that is deconstructing our world.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

God is still merciful upon this nation, especially to Christians who wish to maintain freedom of conscience and the right to free speech in the public square.

In 1981, at the age of 21, Sue Liebel had an abortion. Other than her friend, who drove her to and from Planned Parenthood 90 minutes from her home, she didn’t tell another soul for 30 years! In an interview with guest host Adam McManus, she describes what was going through her mind as she walked up the steps of that Indiana abortion mill, the sound of that suction machine that haunts her to this day, and the recovery room where six other young women sat in a circle of navy blue La-Z-Boys, hanging their heads in shame. After grappling with the emotionally traumatic aftermath of abortion, she came to faith in Christ at the age of 38. Subsequently, she attended a life-changing abortion recovery weekend with other women who experienced the forgiveness and healing that only a Savior could give. Today, Sue Liebel is the Director of State Affairs for Susan B. Anthony Pro Life America, the largest pro-life political group in the country. She and her husband, David, live in Indianapolis, Indiana. This show is the perfect conversation to mark the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision which was handed down on June 24, 2022, overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case which had legalized abortion.

In the midst of the Left’s push of “pride” this month, actor Kirk Cameron joins guest host Adam McManus to talk about the need for Christians to be known for their humility. In addition to a discussion about Woke companies like Bud Light, Target, Cracker Barrel, and Chick-fil-A, they discuss Kirk’s second kids’ book entitled Pride Comes Before the Fall. Written for 3- to 12-year-olds, the Brave Books series releases a new unapologetically Christian, vividly illustrated 9”x9” paperback book each month. Based on Freedom Island, that should remind adults of America, the characters battle evil where truth prevails.

In part three of Adam McManus’ three-part conversation with Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms Raising Sons to Be Men, she offers Biblical insight for moms on how to navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence.

In case you missed the two previous conversations, listen to Adam’s first interview with Rhonda which featured lessons from Moses’ mother and David’s mother. And check out his second interview which featured lessons from Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau, Salome, the mother of James and John, and Mary, the mother of Jesus.

What lessons can today’s Christian mothers glean from Rebekah, the mother of Esau and Jacob, Salome, the mother of James and John, two of Christ’s 12 disciples, and Mary, the mother of Jesus Himself? Rebekah and Salome often made the wrong decisions which no mother should emulate. By contrast, Mary was a humble, courageous young woman who inquired of the Lord, knew her purpose, knew God as her Savior, and knew the Word of God. In this second of three conversations with guest host Adam McManus, Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms Raising Sons to Be Men, shares Biblical insights from these three mothers of Scripture. In Adam's first interview with Rhonda, they discussed fascinating Biblical insights for Christian mothers from Jochabed, the mother of Moses, as well as the unnamed mother of David.

America's next presidential election could be her last. That’s the contention of David Horowitz, the author of America’s #1 bestselling new political book entitled Final Battle. Guest host Adam McManus asks him why: * Democracy as we know it is being obliterated at the hands of Democrats who pose a deadly threat to our freedom. * Their real goal is a one-party state–and they are willing to break even Constitutional provision, law, precedent, and procedure–to see that it happens. Horowitz, a former Communist, reveals: * The Left's horrifying plan to turn America into a socialist nation. * America is on the precipice of another civil war. * How Democrats use the mere act of challenging a vote as treason. * The real story of January 6, 2021. * How Biden's Department of Education bribed schools to continue to push an anti-American curriculum, CRT, racism, and the 1619 Project. * That the Green New Deal is not about clean energy. * That Biden’s $15 trillion spending on post-COVID stimulus sparked massive inflation.

Since mid-May, Christians have been targeted by radical Hindus in Manipur, India, a Northeastern state of 3.5 million people. The believers represent 41% of the population there. To date, 108 villages have been completely destroyed, and 200 churches and 1,700 homes have been burned down. In addition, 80 people have been killed, 270 have been injured, and 66,000 people—mostly Christ followers—have been displaced from their homes, reports Global Christian Relief. Guest host Adam McManus interviews David Curry, President of Global Christian Relief, formerly Open Doors USA, about how Generations listeners can help our brothers and sisters in Christ. Global Christian Relief has opened two emergency relief centers in a nearby Indian state, offering food, shelter, clothing, and medicine. For $70, you can help one Indian brother or sister in Christ.

First, the government told us that the COVID vaccine would prevent infection. Then, it claimed that the COVID vaccine would prevent transmission of the coronavirus. What we were never told was that there was a risk of serious injury or death. Guest host Adam McManus interviews Cindy Drukier (pronounced DROOK-air), The Epoch Times producer and narrator of an eye-opening 90-minute documentary entitled The Unseen Crisis: Vaccine Stories You Were Never Told. Not surprisingly, YouTube blocked the trailer, claiming its providing false information. However, in the documentary, you’ll not only see the lives of people suffering from the COVID-19 vaccine, but also evidence that shows fraud surrounding the vaccine clinical trials, as well as the indifference and inactivity of government agencies when it comes to researching adverse events.

Marking the May 24, 2023, one-year anniversary of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting when 18-year-old Salvador Ramos killed 19 kids and 2 teachers and injured 17 others, guest host Adam McManus talks with Michael Letts, a 30-year veteran of law enforcement. Letts, who was born on the mission field in Mexico and who graduated from Liberty University where he was the bodyguard for the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, addresses why: * It took 77-minutes for the police to finally take out Ramos. * The former Uvalde school district police chief Pete Arredondo hesitated for so long to give the command to breach the classroom.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Kevin Jackson, a former Fox News contributor, about how bank records reveal that the Biden family has received $10 million from China and foreign interests. Indeed, in mid-April, China fired a warning shot at President Biden when a Chinese-American bank supplied Senate Republicans with records showing millions of dollars flowing from Chinese companies to Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden. Those deposits have bought a widening trade deficit with the Communist country and Biden’s leniency on China despite their stealing American secrets and technology. Jackson outlines the Biden family’s treasonous behavior and predicts that Biden will not be the 2024 Democrat presidential nominee. Citing cognitive health concerns, he will resign before his term has expired, allowing Vice President Kamala Harris to rise to the presidency. The powers behind the throne will insist that the one thing she does in exchange is pardon the Biden family members for having illegally sold access to Joe Biden.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Education is very essential to the command Jesus gave us regarding our children. He charges us to raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and to be sure that we do not lay a stumbling block before them.

Fame has done some very bad things for folks like Joshua Harris, Mark Driscoll, and the Duggars (to some extent). There is a thin line between ambition and just being faithful to the talents God has given you. How did Jesus deal with fame? There are examples of some who have handled fame without collapsing, but usually not with young people tossed into fame head-first.

Amazon’s recent docu-series was all up in arms that “Generation Joshua” or “Teen Pact” might have played a part in the vast right-wing conspiracy to "take America back." But now, Alex Harris (one of the participants) is backing away from this sort of Christian political involvement. But what’s up with The Gospel Coalition, Christianity Today, and the E.R.L.C? Is there a “Gelatinizing of the Faith” going on with American evangelicals? Have they capitulated to the matter of the slaughter of 15 million babies a year, and the mainstreaming of sexual perversion? Is the "Kinder and Gentler" evangelicalism going to stop fighting ‘em, and maybe even join ‘em? As conservatives and Christians lose and lose some more in the culture war, what are their options?

First came the East-West divide. Then came the Protestants. Now comes a third divide in the history of the Christian church. And this time, the divide comes in response to the pressures of the cultural power centers, the "zeitgeist," or the humanist Borg that has taken over Western institutions. This time, the divide is centered around Scriptural authority relating to matters of history and ethics. The divide began with what was called "liberalism" or "modernism" in the 1920s and 1930s. But now, it's developed into an all-out war against the horror of Wokism, LGBT-ism, antinomianism, a watering down of the Gospel itself, an undermining of biblical truth and ethics at every level. Even the UMC is splitting apart now. Some of the divide will prove only a thin-coated conservatism . . . developing out of the gross-out factor for having to adopt homosexual behavior among the clergy. But others will actually acknowledge God to be lawgiver, and sin to be a transgression of the law of God . . . and Jesus Christ as the Savior who has come to set us free from the bondage of this sin.

With the dying of the West, will conservative commentators like Tucker Carlson and Matt Walsh do anything to salvage it? Are Christian churches going to salvage anything in the West? Suppose a Christian church was to contribute something positive, a little salt, or a little preserving grace on a civilization. . . . What would it look like? Men with faith. And, a birth rate of 5.0.

When the World goes after Christians, it’s another episode of the pot calling the kettle black all over again, and again. Returning to the onslaught coming down upon the Duggars et.al. via the Duggars, we try to get to the root of what it is that gets the World all upset. However you cut it, the world is not going to cotton to 1 Peter 3:1ff, Ephesians 5:22ff, and Ephesians 6:1ff.

This may be the most rapid and radical capitulation in history for an organization. Chick-fil-A waffled. While the organization was closed on Sunday and wanted to honor God, their business doubled in size. But now, will they fear God or fear the zeitgeist or the LGBT Borg?

The Psalm 1 picture of the godly man involves a meditation on the law of God day and night.

Here, we run over a quick history lesson. Boston, Massachusetts, was where it all began in 2003. And, here we are back to where it began all over again. Harvard University, Cambridge, Sommerville, Boston . . . that's where Obergefell began. That's where the next round is happening. It turns out that Roberts’ and Alito's predictions were dead on, that is, in the minority report for the Obergefell ruling. But here's the question that keeps occurring to us.

The Washington (Com)Post introduces a series of articles intended to go after homeschooling, beginning with a few dissatisfied homeschool grads they scraped up from somewhere. Actually, based on a large survey, it turns out 14% of Christian kids raised in homeschool apostatized. But 28% of Christian kids who went to Christian school apostatized, and 34% of public schoolers apostatized. But how does this happen? While God is sovereign over all fruit-bearing plants in the field, there are some lessons to be learned from our own failures. Some blame spanking. But what about parent-child relationships, high levels of hypocrisy in the home, and superficial fundamentalism, or a failure to inculcate a solid biblical worldview?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Barna's recent study finds a super majority of Americans AND Christians have a negative view of megachurches and mega pastors. But also, evangelicals are not liked either. But, why the trend? About half of evangelicalism moved into large megachurches between 1970 and 2014. But, Jesus's view of Christian community goes beyond the superficiality and transience of modern life. The body of Christ is perpetually wounded. Christ's community involves 490 forgivenesses, persecutions at the hands of the world, deeper relationships and deeper wounding, and always an intensified view of our sin and hypocrisy . . . and His redemption. The programs, bucks, and buildings don't count for much. The church is planted in tears and bloodshed . . . through 1,000 demonic attacks . . . through brokenness, through pain, through agony . . . through anguish . . . through a million prayers . . . and ultimately, by the power of God and the work of the Holy Spirit.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Secular media is having a heyday going after the Christian ministries linked to scandals taking place with the Duggar family and Hillsong. While you can't count on the Washington [com]Post to rightly discern the issues surrounding Ananias and Saphira (or any other problem in the church), we want to be sure that we identify the ditches into which Christians may fall. We point out the ditches of antinomianism and legalism, both of which end in catastrophe. Theology matters. Authoritarianism and the sovereignty of man can do a great deal of damage. If Christians will not embrace God's full-orbed law or commit themselves solidly to the doctrine of the sovereignty of God, they will give way to a shallow faith, man-made rules, a man-centered theology, and a ministry that won't sustain when the fire burns.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

When faced with gross injustice and the most inhumane treatment of children, and the sharp rise in human trafficking (or the injustice of abortion), where does this awareness go? Do hearts callous over and turn cold? Awareness without action will only breed apathy. So don't listen to this program if you are not really on board with the Micah 6:8 mandate.

This may be the most notorious killer in history in terms of longevity and record of kills (performed by his own hand). Warren Hern is an abortionist operating in Colorado since 1972. Hitler was 13 years at it. Lenin was 7 years at it. Mao was 28 years at it. Yet, a surprising honest article from The Atlantic discovers Hern to have had a conscience. He is human.

Fox News has been outed as committed to the Woke/Transgender agenda. But Sean Hannity is still hanging in there. We offer three reasons why conservativism is the wrong worldview for Christians. While the honor of tradition can be helpful and an extension of common grace, there are three problems with conservative media and politics. Fake conservatives will oppose drag queens for 6-year-olds, but they're still okay with kinky pornography for 26-year-olds . . . and William Shakespeare's homosexual sonnets.

The big blue cities like New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago are losing millions, and the trend continued well into 2022. New York City is looking more like a gigantic ghost town, especially with the depopulation of office space. A full twenty-six Empire State Buildings could fit into New York City's empty office space. All of this is good news for those who have watched the blue cities corrupt themselves for too long. The Babel principle kicks in with the trend toward decentralization, exodus from the big cities, weapons of mass destruction, telecommuting, and the reversal of Roe v. Wade to the determination of the states. We end with some helpful guidance for families who wish to be freed from the slavery of debt and the bondage of the big cities. Hey, big city, turn me loose and set me free.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here is a list of the top 10 most dangerous books used in typical highschool (and college) literature programs. These are highly influential and insidious classics that must be carefully discerned and considered by a worldview analysis. Included on the list are The Call of The Wild, Frankenstein, Of Mice and Men, and others. These books mark the Christian apostasy or the apologetics department for atheistic secularism and the nihilism of the day. Let us not approach this stuff like the babe in the woods . . . but fully prepared to cast down imaginations. . . .New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Christian leaders like Rod Dreher, Al Mohler, and Douglas Wilson are seriously grappling with the question. What next? What happens at the burial of a burned-out secularism? Are we salvaging or rebuilding? But more importantly, are we optimistic or pessimistic? Shall we get bound up in questions over the short-term end game? What if we don’t make much progress in our own lifetimes? What if our eschatological expectations or ministry goals are not met? What are the things Jesus has taught us to rejoice in? What is the prime motivator? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The end of these secular empires is quickly approaching, and the left is reading the handwriting on the wall. The two leading US presidential candidates for the Republicans in the 2024 election are still closely supported by Christian nationalists. The tired old accusation against Christians, for wanting to obliterate the separation of church and state, has returned again in a NYT article. What Christian do you know wants the state to control the church, or pastors/pope to veto bills passed by state legislatures? Are we really seeking for governments to control what sermons churches may or may not stream on the world-wide web?

Where are the men? The gender gap for single women to single men in the church is a dismal 77%-23%, at least on one metric. Why are men in apostasy? We need a man revival. We need a miracle here. Who is to blame for the sins of men? Who is to blame for the sins of women? Where will revival come?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
