The Generations Radio Program

The number of Americans attending church last month—a dismal 17%, down from 49% ten years ago. The Scriptures are extremely serious about the importance of attending church. But, must the church follow through on a mask mandate? We encourage pastors and church leaders to make the call, considering the elderly, considering Christian liberty, and considering the data related to masks. But what if you fall on the wrong side of the mask issue with your local church? We encourage you to dig into the more substantial issues—and increase in courage, faith, and love, and pray that the Holy Spirit returns to the churches.

In four years, Georgia cities shifted 7.4% more Democrat. Virginia cities shifted 6% more liberal in voting. North Carolina cities shifted 5.4%, and Texas cities shifted 5-8% blue. People are trying to get out of the most evil cities for their corruption, their crime, and their outrageously expensive living costs. But how did New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Seattle become the most evil cities in the world? Two reasons. No salt. And historical roots.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There are some phenomenal elements to the worst Supreme Court action in American history, Roe v. Wade, that need to be told—not the least of which is the journey taken by Dr. Bernard Nathanson. Why does the pro-abortion movement rely so heavily on obfuscations, conspiracies, cover-ups, and lies? What is it about abortion that presses the conscience of a nation to ignore the truth? Kevin Swanson interviews Nick Loeb, Film Director for Roe v. Wade—the new docudrama coming out this weekend. Note: We caution the audience to consider the preview before watching the movie, and the film may not be appropriate for children.

We appeal to the wisdom of God’s law in reference to the George Floyd death, the attack on Asian women in New York, and the Virginia death penalty abolition. Why does America turn soft on evil and hard against Christians? Instead of turning against Jesus’ teaching on the law, we encourage an acceptance of Christ, and a respect for the three uses of the law.

What might possibly cause a professing Christian to commit mass killings in Georgia? This young Baptist man was fashioned a "super Christian" by friends, but then blames his alleged killings on a sex addiction. Everybody seems to be blaming this on everything, but the real problem is the heart. How does one know the heart of a professing Christian who is given to pornography and sexual sin? Dr. Phillip Kayser joins us on the show to discuss these tough questions. The resources mentioned in the interview can be found at https://www.biblicalblueprints.com/pornography-help.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Colorado baker Jack Phillips enters Round four or five of persecution at the hands of the homosexual community. But, Franklin Graham has a message for you. "Today it's Jack. Tomorrow it could be you." This also brings up the conversation of euthanasia. There seems to be a direct correlation between the aging population percentage in any given country and its euthanasia policy. Could there be a connection here?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Colorado had its worst three fires in history last year. California had their seven worst fires in history last year. Australia had their worst fires in a long time just last year. . . now the worst floods of the century. Does God send fires and floods? Or does man cause fires and floods by heating up the globe? Who's ultimately in control here? Humanists say man is in control. Christians say God is in control, but God isn't the "nice guy" that everybody wants him to be. Will these natural disasters teach our children to fear God?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The question of whether our sons might volunteer for military service is more complicated in a radically post-Christian and anti-Christian culture. Will he be forced to call a he “a she?” Is he going to be ready for the court martial? Does a Christian help on the staff producing movies of the XXX variety? At what point does the Christian come out from among them and be separate? Thorny questions addressed on this edition of the program.

Is Islamic terrorism back into the US? Islamic terror had increased by orders of magnitude during the Obama administration and then calmed down (worldwide) during the Trump administration. Governments serve as a terror to evildoers, but do gun laws serve as terror to evildoers or onerous regulations on law-abiding citizens? We take a look at a biblical approach to gun laws and gun ownership.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Polyamory partnerships (or whatever it is) was first recognized in Cambridge, MA, in 2021, and the first domestic partnership law for homosexuals was passed in Berkeley in 1984. So, when will polygamy and polyamory be instituted by the US Supreme Court? We estimate that will be around 2036. A Colorado bill is looking at establishing a "Ministry of Truth," to be sure that all podcasts, etc., conform to the politically correct standards. When will Christians have to move to a state where freedom of speech will be protected?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Fox News' Tucker Carlson steps in it when he goes after the sacred cow of feminism. There's still an occasional person who limps up to explain it once more, but then he's laughed off the stage. Tucker's comments suggesting that pregnant women fitted out for combat is way beyond the pale of sanity incites more deprecations from the insane. Oh well. . . . We take another look at Deuteronomy 22:5 and Deuteronomy 20:6-9, and then introduce the historical pattern. What does a world power look like when it shrivels up and dies? We contrast China and America's armed forces, naval strength, and potential.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Inflation is on the rise. Gas is up 28%. Lumber is up 180%. Food commodities are up 50% over last summer. Money is made out of thin air, and now folks want to invest it in thin air. We explain cryptocurrency, inflation, and Keynesian stimulus using a couple of allegories, so kids will understand what this is all about. If you wanted to invest in one of Kevin Swanson's bitcoin rocks buried around the world, you'll want to listen to this program. We also answer listeners' questions: Where in the world do you invest your savings in the present chaos?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Pastor Michael Thiessen, Campaign Manager for Liberty Coalition Canada joins us for a lively discussion on the battle for liberty. The moment of truth is upon us. Will Pastor Coates and Pastor Thiessen succeed, or will liberties for church meetings be severely curtailed in Canada? Will Christians be finally forced to flee?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The 2021 Grammys broke through another threshold in the decline of Western culture, as the last vestiges of what could have conserved culture surrendered to self-immolation. Women now lead the cultural suicide almost exclusively. Once more, we trace the trend from the 1960 Grammys to the very end in 2021. But, what about the conservative edge in the heartland--Country Music? The leading voices are now exclusively pro-LGBT, pro-Black Lives Matter, and self-conscious Christian apostates. We’ve come a long way from Charlie Daniels, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Horton. We close the program with an encouragement to right communion--contrasting the fellowship of the unfruitful works of darkness with the fellowship in the light in the Holy Spirit.

Here is a powerful update on persecution and the unprecedented growth of the church in the Middle East and North Africa. There is a virtual pentecost happening in this area of the world. How do Christians react to the ebb and flow of persecution in Iran, Egypt, Algeria, and elsewhere? We receive a first hand report from a veteran on the field for fifty years. You don't want to miss this engaging interview with Victor Attalah from Middle East Reformed Fellowship.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Online child exploitation virtually doubled last year. And since the sexual revolution, child exploitation and sexual sin has exploded. How should the church respond to these sins? What about pastors who fall into the sin? We pull from the wisdom of church history, and encourage that all sins, especially the notorious sexual sin be brought out into the light.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

With all the abortion funding, the abolition of the Hyde Amendment, the unfettered spending, welfare programs for every family in America, the crazy orgy leading to complete economic (and moral) bankruptcy is well encapsulated in the new COVID relief bill. But the frustrating thing is that China is not destroying its moral fiber quite as quickly and consistently as America's ruling institutions would like it to. It's not embracing the chaos of quantitative easing, debt spending, GDP shrinkage, homosexuality, and existentialism with the same level of zeal as the West. Regrettably for those running the fire sale, China is not moving in lockstep with America's decline.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Boy, these modern institutions spend $1.17 trillion on space travel to prove that God doesn't exist. . . to find their own place and their own way in the universe. The Perseverance-Mission to Mars is no different than the rest of it. Spare no expense when it comes to that passionate human need to prove that God doesn't exist. But what is real science? It must be practical and proper dominion work according to God's command. We point out how Christians have done real science, while the post-Christian world more and more destroys it.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Biden administration is looking to eliminate all discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation on campuses—ALL campuses connected with Title IX funding. It’s over for the Christian college now. But will free speech survive on the campus? Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack offer varying levels of optimism and pessimism. But, how will the Christian college survive if it is treated as an accommodation industry and a neutral academic institution vs. a Christian discipleship center?

An atom bomb has dropped on the family since 1970. The whole western world loosened divorce laws beginning in 1969. Abortion was legalized in 1973. Cohabitation rates increased 20 fold since 1970. The illegitimacy rate increased seven-fold. Homosexuality was legalized in 2001. And homosexual marriage came in 2015. Now is the time to battle for the biblical family. But first, we need to know how God defines a family. What is the importance of covenant? Why must the father be recognized as the federal head of the family? What is the first step to fixing a broken-down family? These and other questions are considered with Dr. George Scipione who teaches biblical counseling at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Why the transgendering of the nation is so basic to the Biden agenda is hard to figure out. However, the transgender-revolution conducted in Connecticut is now introduced to the entire country through this one, arguably the most radical Secretary of Education in the nation's history—Miguel Cardona. But at root, this is a man-centered worldview on steroids operating. Christians are looking for a God-centered worldview for their children's education now.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Kids are taught every day, everywhere that "gay is cool." And, the other thing they know is this: Pastors, churches, Paul, and Moses are not cool. But what will be cool next year? The post-Christian culture requires increasing levels of application of that old text: "Come out from among them and be separate saith the Lord." But, how will Christian parents raise their children in the midst of the sexual nihilism now dominating our world? We also address Bethany Christian Adoption Services, recently signed up for the millstone treatment. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Has the US become one big Ponzi scheme? Has the character of the nation come to the point that only Ponzi schemes hold any real interest on the part of investors and voters? We discuss the most unprofitable company in the world, and the profit it pulls from legalized extortion plots. The Federal Reserve stepped up debt monetization in 2008-ish, but as of 2020 the Fed is monetizing debt like it's going out of style. A few years ago, only 11% of the debt was monetized. Now we're looking at 27%. And, roughly 90% of the $4.5 trillion last year was monetized. In case our listeners are unaware of what fractional reserve banking and debt monetization looks like, we provide a little allegory to help out.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The cancel culture is stupid, arbitrary, laughable, as it goes after Dr. Seuss and Huck Finn. . . for all the wrong reasons. Ethics turn arbitrary and are always changing in this asylum. Nobody is safe, not even the Governor of New York. How do we appreciate other cultures, and retain the unity introduced by the Gospel? Huckleberry Finn has served as a major apologetic for the Christian apostasy of the last 100 years, but I guess. . . not anymore. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Are tyrants the ministers of God, or do they surrender their right to rule as far as they abandon righteousness and support wickedness? Kevin Swanson reviews the basics of a biblical worldview with Dr. Robert Fugate, author of the book, “Tyrants are Not the Ministers of God.”New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Jesus is arrested for hate speech, technicalities, and misrepresentation. They said, "He said He would break down the temple and build it back in three days," or something to that effect. Paul's gatherings were unsafe. Too much sedition and definitely not enough social distance during the preaching. What happens in a post-Christian culture, with post-Christian judges, and post-Christian laws? Will we be arrested on technicalities? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus talk about Christians in jail in Canada and America today.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We interact with a question from the listening audience, "Is Ravi Zacharias in heaven?" This initiates a conversation on judging. There are times at which the church is called to judge, and other times where it would be better not to judge. But, we are called not to be a "respecter of persons" when it comes to judging. By a biblical standard, some sins are more egregious in the sight of God than others. We fall into a trap when we go with the world's standard of judging—whether it be the sexual sins of Martin Luther King Jr., or those of Ravi Zacharias.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

In this edition of Generations Radio, Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the Dirty Dozen List that was put out by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. Tech companies have their priorities wrong, intent on destroying Christian voices, while facilitating the sexual exploitation of children. Jesus said that it would be better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. What should Christians do during this time? Should they boycott these companies? How can Christians protect their children and raise them in the fear of God?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A Seventh-day Adventist goes to court and gets $50,000 from Frito Lay because he won’t work a Saturday. To force a private company to hire or fire somebody violates the 8th commandment. Now, homosexuals want similar treatment, and then this turns into real religious persecution of Seventh-day Adventist business owners, Christian churches, and colleges. Then, Kevin Swanson leaves the program with the bottom line. Nobody can exempt themselves from the grace of God to set the captives free from sin and sinful lifestyles.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Western economy is the worst since 1709 (at least for the UK). The US economy is in free fall. But more importantly—the recent church scandals, including that of Falwell and Zacharias—are not to be minimized or shoved under the carpet. These scandals are seismic, and they signify a serious fall and humiliation to the Western church. The fire is burning. Will we have any gold, silver, and precious stones when the smoke clears?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Witchcraft. Eastern Religion. Ancestor Worship. Feminist Power. Women in Military. These were the themes surfacing in Disney's Milan 2020. Was it any surprise Disney offered support for Communist China's concentration camps, while abominating the pro-life cause in Georgia? Will children decipher the problem with the eastern Chi Force vs. a biblical metaphysic? Which is worse—Disney's support of abortion or whatever this modern pied piper is doing to the souls of children?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here we look at the trajectory of the Hallmark Channel, which is supposed to be "family friendly." But what do these nebulous terms mean? The program looks at the career of Rush Limbaugh and his influence on the conservative movement of the last 35 years. He was the hope of a conservative, Christian America. Were his last years more humble and reverent towards God than his first years? We end with a few pointers on handling media—with an eye towards media that fears God. What does this look like?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Has Max Lucado, the leading evangelical writer of our generation recanted on his position taken in 2004 on homosexuality? Will he join the ranks of Cranmer and Latimer in the fire? When you're in the big leagues, you have to keep the gate keepers happy. If you are going to be on the New York Times best seller list, you're going to have to toss a little incense on Nero's altar. What would you do if the stakes were so high and they threaten to send you to "cancel corner" for six years?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

About 2/3 of the millennial generation have left the churches that their grandparents and parents attended here in the US. They don’t go to church anymore. And the exodus out of the faith continues. Was church just a boring tradition for them? What do we convey to our children when no church is good enough for us? Or what is a right relationship with church, church elders, worship, and the fellowship? More is caught than taught. Will our children catch the joy, the exultation, the passion for worship, the convictions, and the love for the body from us—dads and moms?

The Second Mayflower suggests an escape from tyranny and the planting of Christian colonies — but this futuristic movie suggests putting the colony in outer space. This makes for an interesting discussion with the producers of Mayflower II. The film explores civil disobedience, fleeing, and the pilgrim dilemma facing cultural separatists to this day.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Striking the balance between the anarchical revolutions and lawless tyranny, we point out that the American War for Independence was completely legitimate and worthy of the support of Christian pastors. We also compare and contrast the French Revolution with the rule of law in the American colonies. How did the King of England and the parliament reject the rule of law in favor of tyranny? We end with an admonition to Christian families to know history, or otherwise give way to tyranny.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We revisit the economic and ecclesiastical breakdown of the West. Now with a far left US president, will the pope or the archbishops hold the line on abortion and homosexuality? At least one bishop withheld the table from Joe Biden in 2019. Must we conclude that this church doesn't believe the things they claim to believe?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We take a good long look at "religious freedom." Pastor John MacArthur pointed out recently that religious freedom is idolatry, and religious freedom sends people to hell. Does government policy hinder or help the church, according to God's purposes? Are we bound to lose every battle we wage in culture, in our communities, and all of our relationships and spiritual life? We interact with Pastor John's January sermons here. Kevin Swanson points out the necessity of defining terms and bringing clarity to the discussion on these worldview issues.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Why are we suspect of this mRNA programmed to manufacture the spike protein on the Covid Virus, and injected into the human body? Well. . . it’s new. It was released in just 11 months in a rather extended fit of social panic. Etymologically speaking, this COVID-19 shot isn’t a vaccine. A better word for it would be a “GenPro”—a genetic programming for protein production and immune system response. But really, we wish the inventors would give God the glory, and demonstrate a modicum of the fear of God. How long does it take to really understand the long-term effects of a GenPro?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A quick review of the leading Christian books this year, finds that 74% are written by women authors, 22% by Max Lucado, and 4% by other guys. We tackle the question, "Why don't men read?" And then, we review the four leading "pastors" or women authors directing the faith in America today. They are young and they are divorced, but was that what Paul had in mind in Titus 2?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We interact with Albert Mohler’s take on the minimum wage, urging the use of the Bible when actually developing a biblical worldview. Do we listen to the Austrians? Do we appeal to utilitarian arguments? Or shall we go to God’s objective Word? We draw out biblical principles relating to economics, and then point out that Marx's political economy yields just the opposite of what he sets out to do.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Putting political revivals and rallies ahead of spiritual revival produces a fair amount of chaos. What would Jesus say to the conservatives, the conspiratorialists, and the zealots of our day? Is this AD70, and are we blind to the deep spiritual needs of the country? We also compare the prophetic word of those who prophesied a Trump win with that other prophetic word so needed in the churches today—the Word of God spoken to the wayward church.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There are no boundaries left for the insanity, futility, bizarre-ness, and debasement of modern education. The Secretary of Transgendercation defends boys dressing like girls competing on girls' sports teams, with a straight face, before a Congressional committee. The Romans 1 spiral is complete. We revisit the asylum, and quickly walk through 100 years of continuous worldview and cultural degrade in American schools. But, thank God for the island.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Chainsaws can be helpful, but not in the hands of two-year-olds. Is the Internet helpful or hurtful in the hands of your 18-year-old son? Is it disrupting relationships? Is it introducing unhealthy addictions? After only 15 years of experience with this omnipresent, dangerous power tool, it's still a little too early to assess the damage done to those who handle it badly. Kevin Swanson interviews author and blogger Tim Challies on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the internet age.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here is an unusual program you haven't heard before, if you live in the West. As you prepare for the coming crackdown, what will it be like to be arrested for your faith? Evangelist and pro-lifer Jim Phillips acquaints us with the ins and outs of arrests, booking, jail, and prison ministry from the inside. Based on some background from communist countries, churches will need to know how to cope with betrayal and keep the church meeting place secure. Practical pointers could come in handy from this conversation.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

America is erasing the past. The monuments are coming down. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and all the past leaders are erased from the buildings and the monuments. "Every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, and every date has been altered." How does Proverbs 30:11-14 speak to this revolutionary culture? How will this civilization continue if the past is erased and the foundations are deconstructed? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Those lacking solid Christian foundations are increasingly caught up in the confusion of Guilt Manipulators, Marxist Moralisms, and the doctrine of "White Privilege." The term itself is slippery, but that's on purpose. The underlying goal is guilt manipulation—the Marxists playing off on the psychological problem of guilt. Kevin Swanson analyzes the psychological and worldview elements underlying the revolutionary language used to divide races, nations, and even the church.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

History is replete with sin. Lots of sin. Tribes killing each other. Tribes taking land from each other. Did the Saxons steal land from the Brits in AD 450? And how are we going to get reparations going? But how do we adjudicate these sins, if they were sins, and how would we ever determine whose more guilty than anybody else? After offering a prayer at the polytheistic prayer service for the inauguration of Joe Biden, "Christian" author Jen Hatmaker is repenting for America. But why not repent of real sins, that is, breaking God's laws He gave them to us in the Scriptures?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The president’s commitment to transgender all schools was accentuated by his signing the Executive Order on Day 1. Christian leaders like Tony Perkins are calling for an immediate exit from public schools now. Christian pastors aren’t pulling any punches anymore on this one. Otherwise it must be the millstone treatment for them. But will parents wake up and realize the depths to which they have gone? The centralization of powers in the Department of Education universalizes the perversion of homosexuality and transgenderism now. There is no safe place in public schools for a seven-year-old child anymore.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There is a tremendous amount of work that goes into discipling the nations. Reaching the American Indians has been one of the most incredible stories when it comes to mission work around the world. The Pawnee, Comanche, Navajo, etc. have been reached by faithful men and women who have given all for Christ. In this edition of Generations Radio, Kevin Swanson interviews Faith M. Martin on her book, The White Chief of Cache Creek, chronicling the work that William Work Carithers did in Oklahoma as he sought to bring the Gospel to the American Indians.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
