The Generations Radio Program

Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the use of the birth control pill today. The pill is known to cause abortions, but why are a large percentage of Evangelical Christian women on it today? Should God's laws mean something to us today?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The internet is a blessing and a curse. . . a double-edged sword. There are the misguided, the unqualified, the imbalanced, the downright unhealthy and cultic, everything from the sublime and ridiculous. We give a few examples of scripture-stretching and sweeping generalizations that prove unhealthy for the churches, and then outline nine basic principles of sound hermeneutics for the layman.

Why do 95%+ of the top selling evangelical female authors in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 tout failed marriages and broken families? This thing is way off the tracks—the dysfunctional leading the dysfunctional into. . . even more dysfunctionality. While not pointing fingers directly at one particular author, we uncover the systemic problems with the whole edifice. Why do we keep pointing back to Psalm 11? The solution to the problem is simple: The Lord is in His holy temple. His eyelids try the children of men.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Ted Cruz's daughter doesn't like her father's policies, but what about President Obama's daughters and President Bush's daughters? Francis Schaeffer's son Frank is still unhappy with his father. But, while not delving into specific problems with a particular family, we go over the reasons why the hearts of the fathers and daughters/sons break down, and generational fractures develop.

Christians are the last hope for political, economic, and social freedoms in the world. But in the present decline, how will a family pass a legacy of Christian liberty on to their children? While Christian liberty is not the freedom to sin, this liberty does begin with freedom from sin. It is only at this point that a true passion for liberty grows in the heart, to the point that we can advocate liberty in a world that is headed towards tyranny. Join the Family Vision Conference in Phoenix, Arizona on February 17-19, 2022.

Russian President Vladimir Putin complains about the undermining of traditional family and faith by the abominations of the West. He's not pleased that Western values (or the lack thereof) are seeping into his country. However, Russia's Bolshevism already ruined the family a long time ago, and then, the Chinese communists quite successfully ruined the family, and then, the West's Gramscian Marxism went ahead and ruined the family out here. Given the utter devastation these Marxists have brought to the East and to the West, is it too late to salvage any of these civilizations? What can possibly reverse the birth implosions and the social destruction brought about by the Marxist zeitgeist of the last century?

Given the present turmoil and the impossibility of returning to some sort of status quo, now how are we going to proceed with politics, the economy, and the church? How do we prepare for the great downturn in economics? And what about the church? There is a desperate need for three things: Discipleship. Preaching. The restoration of real worship.

After this year. . . the world will never be the same. Here is a bird's-eye view of the stunning, once-in-a millennium, earth-shaking transitions going on in 2021. Things have not settled out yet. We are still in the middle of it. But, here is a helpful summary of what God did, and what He is doing with our world. Persecutions. Devastating national coups. Economic chaos. Unprecedented national disasters. What in the world is happening on planet Earth? Here is an eye-opening summary of nations on fire . . . a world in turmoil. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We approach the question of conspiracies with a great deal of caution, given that there are so many theological and life-application traps surrounding the matter. How do scientists know that there are, or that there are not, long-term effects from vaccines? With what epistemological authority/confidence could we ever make such an assertion? Nonetheless, there are still some short-term studies available from which families can make some decisions. Then, we answer the question as to whether there are evil people in government, and the extent to which these people exist. We know by their own testimonies as to their evil intent. But how could we know the extent to which they exist? Where do we cross the line into far-fetched surmising on questions like this? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

He gave his life for the English Bible, and we have a great deal we owe this man. But who was William Tyndale, and why was he a wanted man, and finally burned at the stake? Kevin Swanson interviews author and pastor Steven Lawson (also the editor of the Long Line of Godly Men book series).

How America has changed! What was once a country filled with men of character and faith has turned into a country filled with flakes. What was it that made men like Rockefeller, Henry Ford, the McKinleys, and Sam Walton different from the richest men in America today? There is no more character left, and America is falling apart at the seams as a result. So what does one do when he has reached the end of civilization? What is the solution? First, turn to Jesus Christ and acknowledge Him as Lord. Then find unity around the truth to form islands of freedom.

Anti-conversion laws are proliferating in India, Nepal, Yemen, Canada, and Australia. Fundamentalist Humanism and Islam forbids conversion to Christianity, but why is homosexuality such a sacrament to modern humanist autonomy? Should Christian psychologists seek out neutral ground on religion and ethics, as encouraged by men like Dr. Earl Warren Throckmorton of Grove City College? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

As we celebrate this Christmas 2021, we review once more the accomplishments of this great King. Can we really say that Kings and Queens will kneel before Him? What did Christ do for the world over these 2,000 years, with the aid of His followers? What would the world be like if Jesus had never been born?

Back in 1980, only 6% of all deaths were due to food, alcohol, drug abuse, and suicide. Now, 21% of all deaths are "Despair deaths." Now, the U.S. leads Japan and most of the rest of the world in Despair Deaths. But why so much despair in a post-Christian nation? We also discuss the civil government's role in protecting us from ourselves. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Hurricanes. Tornadoes. Stock Market Crashes. More billion-dollar catastrophic events in the last two years, than anything experienced in American history. Do we have a responsibility to know the signs of the times, assuming that all of God’s works are judgment? Jesus condemned the Jews for forecasting the weather, but refusing to read the other signs of the times. What can we learn by studying economic trends and recognizing the sovereign hand of God in world events?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A Columbia University study finally gets the best estimate thus far on the Vaccine-induced Fatality rate. . . and survey says the COVID “vaccine” is at least 4 times, and as much as 10 times, more fatal than the COVID-19 virus itself. Yet, world governments are bound to mandate the vaccine for children as well as adults. The unvaccinated are increasingly ostracized now, and the “yellow star” seems almost inevitable for the last hold-outs. Could this be a worldwide deception, and will this tyranny ever abate? And how does this now-famous Bill Gates quote tie in to tall of this: “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.” What kind of vaccines does he have in mind that reduce the population? Islands of freedom are being carved out, but where will you find them? Listen and find out here. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

After monitoring political freedom worldwide, the large think tanks Freedom House and Heritage Foundation have to conclude that freedom is disappearing worldwide. In fact, one metric finds a constant downward trend for freedom indexes since 2005. We know why. Freedom doesn't have a chance in the world unless the salt returns somehow, somewhere. When will Christians bring back the salt? Get ready to put your grandchildren in gulags and prison camps, unless something changes. . .New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Last year, the FBI recorded a 30% increase in the murder rate—the largest year-to-year increase in recent American history. School shootings have seen a steady increase as well. We analyze the motives of kid killers, and give a few reasons why the love of so many has grown so cold in our day. However, the majority of these kids who kill are back out on the streets pretty quick. Only 3-9% get life in prison. What are the biblical solutions to the rising violence? What can parents do to mitigate these out-of-control situations? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Practically the whole world has gotten obese since 1975 by a factor of 300-400%, and COVID would have been far less of a problem in 1975. Why does God ordain for COVID-19 to come now, when 75-80% of the serious cases are weight issues? Eliminating this factor, COVID death rates are about the same as the flu for the 65+ crowd, and COVID is far less lethal for the under 40-crowd. The Stage 2 Obese group is hospitalized at a rate of 42 per 10,000, the Stage 1 Obese group at 23 per 10,000, the Overweight group at 18 per 10,000, and the normal weighted group at only 13 per 10,000. That's a sample size of 340,000 taken in the UK. We discuss the problem and sins attendant to obesity on this edition of the program.

The question of the evolution of man is the Battle of Thermopylae in the War of the Worldviews. Who is this Lucy? And was the Neanderthal a human? What about the South African Homo Naledi? Does the genome point to Eve? And did she live 400,000 years ago or 6,000 years ago? Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Terry Mortenson for a careful, rational assessment of whatever data is found in the bone fragments, and the latest research on the Genome project. Can we trace the genome back to our original mother Eve? And what are the genetic differences between apes and humans?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The question of resisting or playing along with the system comes up more and more, especially as the system plays an increasingly intrusive role in our lives. Shall we require our 12-year-old children to take the shot? Or more to the point, shall we sign up for welfare payments, or what about Social Security and Medicare? To what extent does a Christian participate? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The public school system is collapsing with the encouragement of sexual anarchy, fighting, and ethical chaos. Discipline is practically impossible now. So what happens when tyranny can’t handle the anarchy? But, how do Christian families deal with fights and conflicts in the home? We discuss spanking, behavioral modifications, and how God wants us to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Americans are dealing with a 50% pay cut since the 1980s, and a 10% pay cut this year. . . but hardly one in a hundred people will figure it out. We explain how a nation is run by a gang of thugs, but then, almost everybody is involved in the dishonesty. What happens when the economy has turned into one gigantic Grab Fest?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Persecution has hit the Christian-owned flower shops, the bakers, and photographers in the West. . . but now pastors? Finnish law enforcement and courts are concluding that the Bible is hate speech. And a pastor is about to pay for using the Bible still. At least 30 churches still teach the faith in Finland to a minimal degree, such that they would uphold the basics of a Biblical ethic. America has stronger foundations in liberty, and we have a shot at the faith surviving here—but only if people will stand up and speak the truth boldly.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Major scientific breakthroughs do not happen every day. They require a combination of inspiration, perspiration, and, of course, the mercy of God. This particular medical invention has contributed to saving millions of lives. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the first Human Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machine in 1977. Dr. Damadian gives God the glory for this amazing technological breakthrough. Was this the reason he was refused the Nobel Prize in 1984? This story will be a true inspiration to every Christian and to every young person who wants to discover something amazing in God’s great universe. At the end of the program, Dr. Damadian shares the secret of what it takes to produce an invention of great import.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The sheer force of the spirit of the age upon Christian colleges, churches, etc., is enormous. Who do we fear? Where is faith? Evangelicalism measures faith by superficial externals—passion, primal screams, image, the well-put-together makeup, the cool clothing, and a few religious cliches, and "encouraging" memes. But what does real faith look like in the present faith crisis?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The assumptions of systemic racism and the virtues of social justice are increasingly accepted without criticism by higher education. But Grove City College capitulating? That was pretty much the last bastion of critical thinking and a Christian worldview in America. We are amazed at the quick progress made by the Gramscians and anti-Christian forces in almost every institution of our day. The paralyzing fear of offending. . . the snowflakes, the race baiters, the social justice warriors, the BLM crowd. The surrender to irrationality at the university level is mind boggling. Is it time to chuck the liberal arts college and return to a mentorship model? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A very public figure with a huge amount of influence in the Christian world and secular world, Dr. Francis Collins has also become something of a key prototype for the worldview apostasy going on among evangelicals and even pro-life Christians. He is the most famous theistic evolutionist in the country. He's the most famous Christian encouraging the vaccine in the country. He's the most famous Christian scientist endorsing homosexuality. . . and now, the most famous Christian in favor of using an aborted baby for medical research. Is there a connection between these aberrant positions? Should Christian conferences and ministries include Dr. Collins' organization BioLogos in their offerings? And, why is Pastor Tim Keller the go-to theologian for the BioLogos organization?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

It may have been the most important oral-argument hearing at the U.S. Supreme Court in our lifetime, as SCOTUS took up the Mississippi case today. Will babies be murdered for the next fifty years in this country? This was the best shot for those who wanted to salvage a nation. We take a blow-by-blow analysis on this historic hearing. Will the Supremes reverse Roe v. Wade? Amy Coney Barrett is the swing vote this time, but nobody's interested in providing the unborn child a right to life by the 14th Amendment. And what in the world does the 14th Amendment say about the "right to kill a baby?" You might get a new line drawn, limiting abortion from the 24-week mark back to 15 weeks, but that won't put a dent in the 14 million abortions occurring every year in this country (via the IUD, surgicals, and chemicals).New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Much of the problems with our governments today tie in to a wrong view of economics. Why are our leaders so bent on destroying our economy and civilizations? Here, Calvin Beisner gets down into the foundational principles of economics, and explains the difference between a secular view and a biblical view.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Without exaggeration, we are looking at the greatest heist of all time. How did the most socialist governments in U.S. history succeed in redistributing the wealth into the pockets of the top 1% of the population? All animals are equal, but somehow, it always turns out that some are more equal than others. But what about cryptocurrency? Will this be a turn back towards honest money, or is this the worst investment in all of economic history? Is cryptocurrency a one last-gasp possibility for decentralized control and liberty? Liberty is only possible by self-government, and the nation has yet to return to a state of self-government, strong families, and civil virtue. Ain’t happening now.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

As the Christian West collapses and the Christian salt loses its savor, the remnant is at a loss for the agenda. We have reached crisis point. Where do we go from here? Does Marvin Olasky have a point, calling us to the role of peacemaker with the transgender agenda, etc.? Is the Christian role at this point to avert civil war, or to join one side or the other? The entire framework is changing. Here we realize that we are shifting from an ideological head-on war to more of a guerrilla war of ideas. The world is on fire. This isn’t the 1980s anymore. This is not the time for compromise on basic ethics. This is not the time for synthesis. But, does this mean that the Christian agenda is to re-elect Donald Trump? Is it time to join Q-Anon and the local patriot groups? Above all, this is the time for wisdom, and we attempt to share a little here on this edition of the program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

When Christian conservatives and Republican Congressmen join the chorus of those casting gigantic curses at the president of the United States, what must we say? Are we cheering a race car driver, mocking an NBC interviewer, or cursing the president? The question deserves an answer, with this “Let’s go Brandon” chant. We are finding a rhetorical anarchy and an unravelling of common decency at the highest levels and the lowest levels of society—and among Christian conservatives. Are we discerning the times well, folks?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

On this Thanksgiving Day 2021, we review God's amazing blessings on entire economies. How did we come to receive a median family income 30-times that which people were recipients of over 5,800 years of world history? The blessings came by Christ. . . far as the curse is found!New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The vaccine mandates are not dead yet, and neither are masks. However, the good news is that the dust is clearing a bit, such that real data is surfacing finally. We take a moment to review the objective data available for the denominators on the death rate, making comparisons with more severe flu seasons. How does it measure up? We also touch on what churches should do that are facing national and denominational pressure to shut down in-person meetings. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Marvel Universe is passing away with its lusts thereof, and so is Harry Potter and Dumbledore and the rest. How quickly the worldling faded with all his boasted pomp and show! Even JK Rowling takes her place. . . under the bus, on the twentieth anniversary of the franchise. We spend a little time talking through the “Eternals” Worldview, and then outline the general contours of the decline of a culture. The world passes away with its lusts, but he who does the will of God abides forever. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Sadly, for most Americans, Thanksgiving is nothing more than food, family, and football. But Christians know better. Rediscover our precious Christian heritage for which we should be profoundly grateful. Psalm 9:1 says, “I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.” Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Jerry Newcombe, Executive Director of the Providence Forum, about his new documentary entitled The Pilgrims which will air on the NRB Channel tonight, November 22, at 8:00pm ET. You can also rent/stream it for $6, purchase/stream it for $10, or get the DVD for $15. While the politically correct activists falsely claim that the Pilgrims were just thanking the Indians on that first Thanksgiving, 400 years ago in 1621, the truth is that both groups were thanking Almighty God for His goodness. Learn about the plot by renegade Catholics, led by Guy Fawkes, to blow up the British Parliament and King James on November 5, 1605, with 1,800 pounds of gunpowder in 36 barrels. They wanted to violently force England to revert to Catholicism. When the plot was uncovered and the men were tried and executed, King James, the head of the Church of England, persecuted religious non-conformists including the Catholics, the Puritans, and the Separatists. Eventually, one separatist group, the Pilgrims, in their quest for religious liberty, first went to Holland, and then to America. You’ll hear about the Pilgrims’ 50-year treaty with the Indians, and the Mayflower Compact, which laid the foundation for the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Guests on The Pilgrims include: Dennis Prager, Alveda King, Paul Jehle, Leo Martin, Rod Gragg, Bill Federer, and William Wrestling Brewster, the great-grandson (by 9x) of the de facto Pilgrim Pastor, Elder William Brewster.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

With the exception of evangelicals, the peoples from every other church tradition are between 50% and 60% pro-abortion. Why did the churches surrender moral authority on this issue? The Church has an obligation to excommunicate those who knowingly support the killing of innocent children in this country. This was the Christian commitment dating back to Pastor Ambrose and Emperor Theodosius in the 5th century. What are we saying when a church in New Guinea won’t take a stand against cannibalism? What are we saying when a church in America won’t take a stand against abortion? What are we saying when a church that meets in a prison won’t take a stand against bank robbery and serial killing? What are we saying when the church won’t oppose the female draft?

The Rittenhouse story has legs to it, and the nation is riveted by this young man and his self-defense case in the Wisconsin courthouse. Without adjudicating the case, we carefully analyze the biblical principles tied into it, and provide general applications to young men. . . to include a thoughtful consideration of the wisdom of Johnny Cash—Don’t Take Your Guns to Town. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here we grapple with the fundamental question of how to engage with a post-Christian’ish culture. How do we equip our children to know the Christian worldview, to communicate an apologetic, and engage positively in an increasingly anti-Christian culture? How do they think, live, and speak in the world about them?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A listener asks the question: "So many of the Christians I speak with today are willing to just roll over, get the shot, hand over their guns...whatever the ‘authorities’ demand on the basis of Romans 13. I know we have to respect authorities as they have been instituted by God but I also believe that we have to resist tyranny. Can you offer any clarification regarding the application of Romans 13 and whether or not this is a blanket statement calling us to submit to any/all authority or am I missing something in terms of context or interpretation?" An extended discussion ensues on this question: When do we disobey? Or should we rather obey?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

With the insane amount of spending over the past decades, America is well on its way to an economic depression.

Regrets, second thoughts, and a distinct cooling effect are defining some of the Joshua Generation—the first cadre of homeschool graduates. The ra-ra, do-hard-things, take-America-back revolution seems to have fizzled out a bit for Alex Harris and World Magazine, not to mention brother Joshua Harris. This introduces an interesting discussion on puritanism and separatism, taking America back, pessimistic eschatology, salt and light, and the distinct desalination of evangelicalism today.

The enemy has tossed another slippery term into the mix, causing Christians consternation, dividing churches, and making more room for homosexuality. What in the world does “Same-Sex Attraction” mean? There are three to four different definitions, but the obfuscation is purposeful. Why are evangelicals so committed to the position that “Same-Sex Attraction,” “Incestuous Attraction,” etc., is not a sin? Four reasons here. How does a person repenting of homosexuality get in a biblical church? Here are some important pointers that churches should follow, especially in an age of mass apostasy.

As the nation swerves more and more out of control, the civil magistrate abandons its obligations to maintain order in society. The legalization of shoplifting in San Francisco is only a slight example of the larger problem. But the most refreshing indication is that Christian news organizations are finally appealing to the Bible in two instances to buttress their "biblical world and life view."New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Bible warned us about false prophets and teachers–wolves that come for the sheep. This warning is just as prevalent today as it has been at any time in the past. So much of modern Evangelicalism has stumbled thousands, focusing on fluff and personal revelations, rather than the solid substance of God's Word. On this edition of the Generations Radio program, Kevin Swanson interviews Justin Peters of Justin Peters Ministries about the fake Gospel that is so prevalent in today's world, and what Christians need to be doing to focus back on the truth of God's Word.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The World Leaders have almost total unanimity on a green agenda now, with wayward nations repenting of their failure to support the Emperor's New Clothes Initiative. We mosey up to the microphone to ask a few more pointed questions of the wizards that peep and mutter. . . . So what's the downside of more carbon dioxide? And how sure are you of that? How is the average global temperature of the last 40 years different than 1850, 1750, 1650, 1550, and 1450? And how sure are you? Did you have 50,000 thermometers, all carefully calibrated, getting good data? Did you have enough thermometers down in the Mariana Trench in 1350, checking data? What contributes to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? And how sure are you of that? And one more question . . . Is this green agenda just plain insanity, or is it engineered to destroy the world economy? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

It was a major national stage for the parental rights issue in the state of Virginia. MSM is telling us parental rights was the hinge point for the Republican win. Parents are up in arms over Critical Race Theory and Sexual Perversion in the schools. And parents, family, sensible morality is making a little bit of a comeback.

Sins of the tongue is an everyday challenge in our homes. Sometimes the bickering, the tattletale-ing, and whining is getting out of control. How do parents handle this in the home? Here are some practical aids and balanced biblical disciple-ing tips for every parent dealing with this 7/24's.
