The Generations Radio Program

How often do people comment that things were better off back in the good 'ol days? Certainly the seeds planted in the 1960s and 1970s have produced a stinking bad crop. Only the Democrats are excited about the ruined socio-economic system. But altogether considered, the remnant of faith is toughening, the hymnody is more robust and less sentimental, and Franklin Graham is telling it the way it is. Flaky churches are going away. The ra-ra mega church doesn't last as long as it used to.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Ingrid Skop, a Christian pro-life obstetrician in San Antonio, Texas about the dangers of the Abortion Kill Pill. 53% of mothers who abort today use chemical abortion instead of surgical abortion. As the Medical Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, she documents that in 2020 alone, 500,000 American mothers aborted their unborn babies by taking the Abortion Kill Pill. 25,000 of them either had to go to the emergency room or required additional surgery. What most women don’t know is that: * There are major international studies which show that the abortion pill regimen carries four times the risk of complications as surgical abortion! * The abortionists fail to screen for ectopic pregnancies where the baby has dangerously been growing inside one of the woman’s fallopian tubes. 2% of pregnant women have ectopic pregnancies. * 1 out of 20 women cannot expel all of the pregnancy dead tissue. This leads to serious, possibly life-threatening, hemorrhaging and bleeding. * The Abortion Kill Pill can fall into the hands of sex traffickers and abusive partners who are giving it to women without their knowledge or against their will! Contrary to the abortion industry’s lie, the Abortion Kill Pill is not safer than Tylenol. The FDA is supposed to protect Americans from dangerous drugs. In this case, it has failed miserably!

Some of the most conservative Christian companies in the country turn into the most evil companies in America—to include Walmart, Target, Alaska Airlines, and eHarmony. How does this happen? We walk through the cycle of faith and character, blessing, decadence, and judgment that marks the way of nations and corporations. How do colleges contribute to the pride, the liberalization, the sapping of the fear of God, and the killing of faith?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

No tool has been used to corrupt the nations more than television. The visual medium is powerful, and the way sin is portrayed by this means can be extremely dangerous. We cover the various ways in which to portray sin, landing on the right Biblical approach.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Reparations for all the sins committed by every nation and every tribe on Earth over the last 6,000 years would cost $800 quadrillion plus. There is no atonement possible for the woke religion. The severity of Marxist Wokies allows for no mercy on themselves or anybody else. But, what does God's law say about the great-great-great grandchildren paying for the sins of their great-great-great grandfathers? The California governor has announced his definition of the original sin, but this has nothing to do with God's definition—disobedience to God and disobedience to God's law.

West Virginia rates #4 on the Evil Index, and Kentucky clocks in at #9 on the worst states. These states represent the model for breaking the character of a nation. The lesson is clear for the church—it's time to make a total break from all government welfare programs and return to the biblical model.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Do we really want to take all the salt and light out of the public schools by removing our Christian kids? And what about socialization? How will homeschooling kids ever survive in a world where they haven't learned to hang out with a peer group? You have heard the common questions and the arguments. We provide some answers on this edition of the program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

It's the broken generation . . . the hopeless generation. . . . They call them the Gen Z generation for a reason. It is the last generation. These have lost the will to continue a civilization—to get married, have children, and live in a sane world. They are homosexual. They have embraced homosexuality. They have lost interest in the nuclear family. But ultimately, they have lost hope. There is only one way to redeem this.

The corporate wokies appeared to have lost all grasp on reality at multiple levels. The free market is sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. The board room has abandoned all rationality for woke, whether it be sex change operations or the value of Apple. But how shall we then live? What are God's people to do? Revelation 18 comes to mind.

The coronation of Charles III marks the end of an era. Although Charles will take an oath to follow God's law in the pattern of Athelstan, that is not the direction set anymore to this post Christian country. We take a moment to appreciate what God did for England over 1,000 years.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The world has faced crisis before, and it is facing crisis today. Worldviews matter when crisis hits. Naturalistic, atheistic, materialistic worldviews are tested and found wanting during times of crisis. They’re insufficient to bring hope or explain the basic questions of life. Kevin Swanson interviews Jeff Myers on the importance of a biblical worldview on this edition of Generations.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Does prosperity bring happiness? Does education bring prosperity? That's the question addressed on this segment of Generations. South Korea is abandoning the Christian faith as the country grows more prosperous—and this is especially so among the younger generation. Evangelical churches saw a 20% drop off in church membership over the last 10 years. Church attendance with the largest denominations across the nation dropped from 17.8% to 13.6% between 2011 and 2021. The country may have the fastest-growing economy in the West, at the expense of abandoning the faith. Young people are more likely to attend school or after-school school than church on a Sunday. What is it that lends to long-term prosperity of a country? Education isn't the answer. Prosperity comes from God.

As we glance over the final chapter of the US economy, we witness the last-ditch efforts on the part of corporate America and the US government to keep the behemoth alive. The pitiful efforts on the part of Apple, Chevron, Bed Bath and Beyond, Visa, Discover, Nike, Cisco, Walmart, Morgan Stanley, and Home Depot looks a lot like the final chapter of the US government spending. There is an appearance of value, but less and less substance to it every day. The deficits/GDP and debt servicing are all spinning out of control, since the cycle began in 2001, and to some extent in 1980. But, where do Christians invest now? What is your best investment?

Here are the summary findings to our study on "The Evil Index for the US States." Which is the most evil state in America on the basis of violations of the 6th, 7th, and 8th commandments? Which is the best state? Taking a biblical worldview assessment of public policy and the moral state of the people, which is the worst and which is the best? Here are some surprises. What contributes to the unrestrained evil? Whatever happened to the salt?

Tucker Carlson didn't last long as the top-rated program for Fox News. The zeitgeist pulled him quick when a little truth about the more significant matters began slipping out around the edges. Was he pushing a little too hard on prayer and some kind of fear of God in that Heritage Foundation talk last Friday? Here we play a segment of Tucker Carlson's last address before he was on ice, and review the history of conservative media as it came on strong in the late 1980s. What is the Christian perspective of these talk shows?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Will Christian community be characterized as a retreat center or a saltshaker? Will it be a ghetto or an army camp? Will it be distributing special grace or common grace? Will we escape the world, or will we overcome the world? What are the words used to describe Christian community in Scripture? What is the strategy for developing Christian community, and what is the relationship of the family to the church and the world out there? Why do Christians seek out a comfort zone, and settle into a retreatistic mentality? These are monumental questions addressed in this very informative discussion on this edition of Generations.

For those who are asking the question—What is AI, and should I be concerned? Here is a simple introduction to General AI and Narrow AI. For those who have the right worldview (a biblical worldview), here is the best interpretation of this man-invented system promising for the world another Tower of Babel. How does the Christian interact with it? Does the Christian family unplug from the matrix?

The American Bible Study poll found that 86 percent of US adults believe the nation is in moral decline, but what percent are contributing to it? And what are the reasons for it? But why the increase in the grossest manifestations of immorality? We suggest that sexual sin is encouraged by every one of our social institutions—political, educational, and cultural; and pretty much all restraints have been taken away. The inevitable result of all of this is more tyranny, or just plain divine judgment. But now how do God's people react to this?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The city of Minneapolis has approved of five-times-a-day public announcements for Islamic prayer. Islam is thought to be the fastest growing religion in the world, especially attractive among liberals. But why? The post-Christian world appears enthusiastic about anything that opposes the Christian faith, obviously. Why does Islam fill the vacuum left by a vacuous worldview like atheistic materialism?

Between 1989 and 2022, Disney's impact on America (as a percentage of the GDP) grew a whopping fifty-fold. The effects are pretty impressive, especially with the 14- to 24-year-old crowd. But what is the solution for parents? Go to a church that warns its members about Disney and assorted media that is geared towards stumbling children? What about your children interacting with other neighborhood children or church children whose families do not share your media standards?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The American Psychological Association has concluded that traditional masculinity is toxic to the nation. Competitiveness, male aggression, achievement, and risk are seen as threatening and toxic to the present social milieu. Do we really like "traditional" masculinity if that means able machismo and a tendency to want to commit sexual sin? What is true biblical masculinity? This is the crying need of the day—godly men, mature men, and men who are ready to lead in the family. We recommend this program for young men especially.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The most critical part of a homeschool curriculum must be . . . what? History. But how do you know you are teaching the RIGHT history? We go through some of the basics, drawing in Andrew Jackson, Samuel Worcester, Sheridan, Hitler, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Eisenhower and the Warren Court. Be sure to hear the stories, but be sure you are aware of the absolutely indispensable elements of an essential, comprehensive, right-worldview-based history curriculum.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Conservatives are beginning to point to the spiritual realm as something of an active force in today's zeitgeist. It's hard to ignore the singular, phenomenal power these forces have had over the masses. . . . The rapidity at which these powers moved and the extent to which they achieved worldwide conquest was astounding. The whole operation took place over barely 70 years. Nothing short of a supernatural power could have brought this about. Rod Dreher, Jonathan Cahn, and Naomi Wolf all speak to this. Kevin Swanson provides a 150-year history of the demonic assault on our institutions here, beginning with Andrews Jackson Davis, the Foxes, Manley Palmer Hall, and Madame Blavatsky. This is transferred into the Pop Rock scene of the 1950s and 1960s, paving the way for the revolution. The testimonies tying directly into the occult from Elvis Presley, Little Richard, John Lennon, Jerry Lee Lewis, Keith Richards, Mick Jaggar, and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin fame will blow your mind.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

China wants to preserve its national cultural identity. Russia wants to preserve its national cultural identity. The Muslim countries have a strong sense of cultural and religious identity. But the USA and Europe have abandoned their traditional Christian roots. They have become rootless, multicultural experiments, with the hope that internationalism will save them. Eastern Orthodox countries are retaining some traditional morality. But why are the Protestant countries turning into the worst countries in the world? We attempt an answer to the question here. The parallels between enthusiasm for perversion of marriage and median income across the nations in the world is astounding. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Gradually, the sexual revolution has taken down the country—and the transition for fornication occurred in 2004, the transition for homosexual marriage occurred in 2015, but what about transgenderism? The zeitgeist appears to have smacked against the wall. Have the Sexual Vandals gone a step too far? Public support for transgenderism has dropped off since 2017. The enthusiasm is waning, but not so much with Budweiser, the corporate minions, the cultural regulators, and the country music television awards. Have they overplayed their hand? At this point, the insane in the asylum are panicked that the sane might have discovered the insanity of it all. It turns out that country music is still finding roots in family, marriage, God, and country last time we checked.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Games. Porn. Slothfulness. Escapism. Drugs. Aimlessness. Whether the boy has grown up in a Christian church, Christian school, or a homeschooling family . . . high percentages of young men are wandering aimlessly, spiritually anemic, or dead . . . and there's not much a homeschooling mom can do for him anymore. Now what? Aaron Boldman from HelpMyBoy.com has had 22 years of experience with hundreds of young men like this. What do these boys need more than anything else?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There are 774,000 psychiatrists and secular counselors in the US, and only 29,900 pastors. So what is this worldview that predominates now in our post-Christian nations? But how is this religion of naturalism-materialism-humanism (with its varied definitions of man's problems and solutions) working out? Not very well. Wrong ideas have bad consequences and perpetuate bad consequences. Create more problems in order to fund more solutions.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Americans are increasingly losing patriotism but embracing big government socialism. They don't like their country, but they rather favor the government, especially if it's a real big government that promises to solve their problems for them. Americans are losing interest in faith in God, family, children, community, and relationships in favor of self-definition, self-worship, self-everything, isolation, and gender dysphoria. The slide in values appears to be accelerating (just over the last 3 years). We enumerate the causes as a generational revolution (that has gotten worse over 3 successive generations), educational systems, and peer culture. What are our ultimate values?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The US Supreme Court turned the decision on abortion back over to the people in the respective states with the reversal of Roe v. Wade. America is failing the test. We have failed to achieve 6 pro-life initiatives or referendums so far, involving elections in Kentucky, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Montana. Wisconsin's vote on the Supreme Court justice was a landslide this week, in strong favor of abortion (in the ballot box). Kevin Swanson estimates that there are about 6 pro-life states left. It’s hard to believe the pro-life position will survive at a national level, given the spirit of the electorate. Has a nation ever reversed course when it has gone this far down the pike? We do a survey of history on this.

For the first time in modern history, the majority of Americans are abandoning the idea that college is the key to success. It turns out success has far more to do with life experience, good mentorship, and the development of character and faith, than it does with endless ventures into forming a wayward knowledge built up on humanist reason. The Democrat-to-Republican ratio among college professors is now a whopping 8.5 to 1, and among younger professors 10.5 to 1, and among female professors 16.4 to 1. Why are colleges so liberal? And why do red-state parents keep sending their kids to blue-city colleges?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Can Christians engage their communities? How can they do this? Is it possible to be salt and light, and offer a preserving element of common grace in a local community by owning and controlling a small-town newspaper? How does a Christian report the truth of the matter, if the truth is defined as God defines it? Kevin Swanson speaks with his brother concerning his 30-year venture into journalism.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Amidst the political wrangling, the immoral chaos, the absence of much justice in the courts, and the general craziness of religious opinions about everything, here we try to make biblical and rational sense of the indictment of the former president of the United States. Are Republicans and conservative Christians a bunch of hypocrites, as one meme-er is want to say? It's a good question, and we take it up here.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The transgenderism cult appears to be taking over the world right now, with all of its attendant psychological disorders, frenzy, insanity, and violence. What is this thing, and where did it start up in the modern world? We begin in Germany in the 1890s, and discover the first transgender surgery in 1930, and then the first child taken up into it in 1987 (in Holland). Germany is the breeding ground for the frenzy, insanity, and violence that ends up in two world wars. But what will it produce for the world now that the same ideologies are taking over the whole developed world?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The leading evangelical voices in the world today are man like Brian Houston, who formed Hillsong. Houston is fighting a DUI charge in California, while dealing with allegations of debauchery relating to his behavior in the church. Four of the top 10 worship songs for this generation belong to Hillsong. But what makes for such a powerless Christianity? And, what were those prerequisites for leadership in the church as laid down in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1? But could the problem be more fundamental than this? Nothing is more abominable in worship than the displacement of the glory of God with the aggrandizement of man by showmanship, celebrity preachers, and musical performance. Is this the end for star pastors?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The cultural divide in America is increasingly severe and now erupting in senseless violence at a Christian school in Nashville. School violence has always existed, but the problem is twenty-times worse today than it was during the 1950s. Sexual anarchy and gender anarchy will give birth to other forms of anarchy. Child killing in the womb gives birth to other forms of child killings. There is also an embitterment towards the Christian faith that arises among apostates who leave the faith, which heightens the angst and egregiousness of these criminal actions.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We talk about discipleship. But, not many have done it for forty years with the sort of results that Jim Stump has seen. He's not a mega-church pastor. He's not a radio personality. For decades now, he has discipled young men at Stanford from a restaurant table, fourth from the window in the back. And, hundreds of young men have gone out and discipled others, who have discipled others. . . . And that's the power of One on One. This may be the most powerful interview we've conducted on this radio program!

Witchcraft is on the rise in the Western world—it’s affecting Western nations now more than ever before. There were about 8,000 witches in America in 1990. According to a recent study, there are now 1.5 million in the US today. On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack address the topic of witchcraft and the spiritual fall of America.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The famous atheist Richard Dawkins lost his Humanist of the Year Award for his lack of self-consistency to the doctrine of humanist autonomy and the LGBT insanity. He's not the only one blackballed by the establishment. Christians have been pushed out of Arizona public schools because they tout a worldview that opposes all the rest, but especially the worldview of the US Governments. Will Christians be more and more cut out of civil society?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here is a good picture of what the US and Europe will look like in 2050. The story of Japan is a poignant one—as we learn about the first child to be born in this village of 6,000 in 25 years! The abortions, the Ponzi schemes, the socialism, the death culture, the existentialist, self-centered nightmare, and the destruction of marriage and family will come home to roost on humanity. But, what will the Christians do? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Will Donald Trump be arrested or arraigned by God or a District Attorney? And who is this DA who has been financed by the Soros clan? How are Christians to be wise, prudent, charitable, and appropriate in consideration of and support for Donald Trump? What must we do with the rumors, the news reports, the political wranglings, the corrupt legal system, etc.? Our chief concern is less political than spiritual. Our main interest is for his salvation. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

State requirements for vaccines are cinching up for children, especially after the Covid crisis. Is it time for parents to be more informed, and what does God's Word say about family jurisdiction in this area? Here is a legal update for families.

The Academy's Oscar awards have finally tipped into full-bore nihilism for good—at least 3 out of the last 4 years. There was a little of it in 2007 and 1977 with Woody Allen's contribution. But, the avant garde film critics are now pretty well embedded in utter hopelessness and total commitment to a nihilist worldview. We compare the worthless Best Picture of 2022 with a Christian film that has garnered twice the interest with the audience.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The history of bank runs and fractional reserve banking begins with a murderer/economist who lends a little help to the King of France. After the bank runs, John Law ran for the border. Nowadays, the Federal Reserve steps in to save the whole larcenous system . . . over and over and over again. But what does this do to the national character when irresponsible, feckless, unscrupulous, fractional-reserve banks fail, after which they are rescued by the federal government (which is tied up into the same thieving scheme)?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Fifty-six percent of Americans consider the Woke religion in a positive light. But what is this new awakening? This new religion has its own law-system, its own form of atonement and penance, and its own rituals. It’s all pretty random, and has nothing to do with the biblical faith, of course. But is this wayward faith so off-the-rails that its promulgators should be excommunicated from faithful Christian churches? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Primitive tribes, whether in the jungles of Ecuador or the suburbs of Chicago, have often taken up the cultural practice of nudity (or even cannibalism). Modern evangelicals will place such matters under the rubric of culture. We bring out the biblical view of nudity and distinguish between cultural elements and the moral element. How does one disciple the primitive peoples?

Here is some personal testimony on things Kevin Swanson has learned from trials, the right way to face trials, and the outcome we hope to get out of them. Will God be glorified in these trials?

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 counterproductive. His economic success and welfare state is literally killing him. Bottom line—man cannot save himself. Abandoning the true Savior and King has resulted in a dead end for modern man.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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 secular publishers into the Christian book market. Is it time to regroup and readjust our strategy for reaching the younger generation with a Christian worldview?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

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?
