The Generations Radio Program

As medicine turns increasingly pro-death, what are the alternatives for medical training? Christians will seek islands of freedom and opportunity in other avenues. We discuss the blessings of children, Christian medical training, and alternatives to the pro-death culture on this edition of the program.

Frozen II is seen by Christian movie reviewers as more dangerous and more self-consciously pagan than the first installment of the franchise. Elsa’s magic abilities are sourced in nature-centric paganism, the four elemental spirits, each of which is given its own totem. What is the resurgence of interest in the occult, the secretive, and the weird among Christians? Is it time to burn our books, movies, and other paraphernalia as they did in Acts 19:18-19? We take a look at the rising popularity of Fantasy Role Playing Games on this edition of the program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Chick Fil-A controversy rages on with various Christian leaders taking different positions on Chick-Fil-A’s backing away from the Salvation Army and throwing support behind the pro-homosexual, pro-abortion Covenant House Ministry. But, Kevin Swanson asks a more fundamental question here. Must we fracture over who supports this or that business? And, why are businesses so heavily politicized today, especially when it comes to the homosexual borg? What is the urgency to support or not support the homosexual agenda? What has happened to our world? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The modern world has brought back child prostitution, homosexuality, and child killing — old pagan habits which dominated in the most depraved cultures before Christ came into the world. Shall Christians engage campaigns to go after human trafficking, infanticide, and homosexuality, when they ignore their own sins (and will not address the matter of fulfilling their own obedience per 2 Corinthians 10)? Kevin Swanson asks the question, “How can you avenge disobedience, when 80% of the men in your congregation are hitting the porn sites. . . and providing a market for the human trafficking business?” Kevin Swanson talks to whether political or educational campaigns are effective when it comes to the social evils of the day.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Are there reasons to thank God this Thanksgiving season? Four times in history, America was going down-hill fast. But, by the mercies of God, America experienced a spiritual revival. The stories are truly phenomenal and should be told to our children and our grandchildren around the dining room table. These stories inspire hope in us that He may have mercy on us again, and again.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

One revival that shook the whole world more than any other came in Scotland in the 1820s. No other revival spurred on a larger worldwide missionary movement like this one. The waves hit Asia, Africa, Oceania, and South America with a force that is still being felt to this day. What are the precursors to such revivals? Could this world still see Holy Spirit fire like this again? Kevin Swanson discusses this great event in missionary and church history with Dr. George Grant.

Gender fluidity is actively taking over in rural areas and even Christian families. Gender role confusion inevitably will lead to gender confusion, and these are more sour fruits of feminism. We provide some basic instructions for parents whose children tend towards gender confusion. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here is a discussion on whether to watch this movie or that movie on a given evening. We take a brief look at the Terminator series, and cross reference with Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Toy Story 4, and Incredibles 2. Is this a third wave of feminism, completing the move towards a collapse of manhood and the empire? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes have been battered badly by the left-wing media. They are at the center of the attack, and Chick-Fil-A has made a public announcement that they will back away from supporting them. Where are the voices defending the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes? Chick-fil-A insists that they will support Faith-based charities, but why not Gospel-based charities that still hold that homosexuality is a sin, and we all need to be saved from these sins by the grace of Christ? Kevin Swanson draws Adam McManus and Bill Jack into this discussion. “Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.”New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The breakdown of the father-son relationship is the root of just about every social and spiritual issue relating to the family, church, and state today. Family, faith, and freedom break down when fathers break down. The greatest reformation of our time would be known by a realignment of the hearts of the fathers to the sons, discipleship at the most basic level. Here is an introduction to what that discipleship would look like, from Malachi Man -- Richard Snyder.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

America has great foundations, but these foundations are being jack-hammered out from under us. There is a concerted effort to destroy the heritage of a nation and open it up for revolution, tyranny, and ultimate destruction. This is the essence of the Marxist agenda. We go back into the foundations and find two influences that were battling out for the soul of America in the 1770s. How did the French Revolution differ from the American War for Independence? How does a Christian family get to the accurate accounts of the history of the nation?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The household of Stephanas was addicted to the ministry of the saints. Ministry opportunities are abounding both in the local and the international context, but how does your family choose your ministry? How does Macedonia help Jerusalem in times of crisis? When does helping hurt the people you’re trying to help? This program introduces the most essential part of family life.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here is another exciting story of how the Gospel made it to a far off tribe — the Kaang Chin people in Myanmar. These modern missionary stories and the Bible translation work that has ensued is the stuff to share with your children. These are front line reports on what’s happening in the real kingdom, the most important kingdom — the kingdom of God around the globe.

Is Keith Getty, songwriter of "In Christ Alone" on target? He’s concerned with the de-Christianizing of worship music. What happens when it’s the wrong worldview, but really cool worship music? With all the noise, the passion, the programs, and the ra-ra in the churches, how would you know if a revival was happening? Kevin Swanson provides four tests that might help.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

How would you respond in the worst crisis ever in two centuries of your country or your community’s existence? One thing we know, and that is to do good to all men, but especially to the household of God. Kevin Swanson gives a review of the devastation caused by Dorian, and provides families with a biblical blueprint for helping.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

God’s church growth plan is kicking in almost everywhere around the world. Christian persecution and genocide is the worse than ever before, per the secular news sources. But, how can we benefit from this church growth plan here in the United States? Is there any way that we can be bound with them? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The state is increasingly wanting to enforce control over adoption, addiction recovery ministries, and homeschooling. Some ministries capitulate and others do not. Will principle win over pragmatism? The devil will always attempt to destroy that which is good — first by regulation, and then by funding and control — the bad cop, good cop game.

The younger generation has far less stamina compared to the general population, by a factor of 300%. A full 75% of Gen Zers have left a job over mental health concerns. The Bible explains the cause: “They did not like to retain God in their thoughts.” The mental instability of the present generation is increasing fast, due at least in part to isolation. We contrast Robinson Crusoe with Tom Hanks in Castaway, on this edition of the program. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Every now and then, God does the impossible. In fact, it happens more often than we could imagine. People can’t seem to believe that God would have saved Nathan Bedford Forrest. Some have a hard time believing that God could have saved Jeffrey Dahmer. What can we say for Kanye West? On the one hand, nobody wants to be the elder son in Jesus’s story who can’t seem to bring himself to dance with the rest of the family on the return of the Prodigal. But mostly, we must never, never depreciate the power of the grace of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The 2019 elections produce losses for Republicans in Virginia and Kentucky. Both Wisconsin and Kentucky remain razor thin swing states, and abortion is the dividing issue. Two things are happening. America is in decline — twice as many Republicans are in favor of homosexual marriage as were in 2009. And, America is a house divided against itself. The polarization gap has grown from 27% to 86% (Republican to Democrat on presidential approval). It could hardly be worse.

How do we miss it? How do we miss the awesomeness of God in all of His works. All of it is glossed over, a sense of wonder is lost, and the real purpose for science and all study dissipates. Here we talk about the incredible ladybug, the beautiful peacock, the powerful and graceful Colorado mountain elk, and how all of it displays God’s glory, wisdom, power, and goodness.

This nation is on the brink of losing faith and freedom. Here is an eye-opening interview on the history of South Korea, the state of the church and the nation now. The nation appears to be on the brink of falling to communism, and the church may enter another season of very difficult persecution. We speak with the director of the South Korean Christian Home Education movement, and see parallels between America and South Korea. Both have a Christian heritage, and both are losing it fast. Millions of Christians in South Korea are praying fervently now. Will you pray for South Korea? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Interestingly, there is more profanity than ever in American TV programs, but the majority of Americans want an end to freedom of speech, especially for those who still retain some morals in the area of sexuality. 51% of Americans want an end to freedom of speech, and 54% of American millennials want to put Christians in jail for “hate speech.” Why is it that more cursing, fornication, and immorality amongst a people always seems to produce a curtailing of freedom and liberty? We’re thankful for 26 words contained in that first amendment that has stood in the way of tyranny for 220 years in this country. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Twitter wars have raged, as Beth Moore takes the pulpit on Sunday Mornings and Pastor John MacArthur resists. Is Twitter the proper place to work this argument out? Sane voices have been drowned out by the Twitter mob. However, there is still a legitimate question operating here. How should one bring 1 Corinthians 14, 1 Corinthians 11, and 1 Timothy 2 together into a single coherent position on women involved in the church body? Kevin Swanson offers a careful exegesis to the salient passages.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The good news is atheism is dying out, and new Christians are crushing post-Christians in the worldview war. A few high profiles post-Christians tend to get more press than the new Christians. Even the atheists tell their de-conversion stories, and we take note of the root causes — the Christlessness of modern day Christianity, the issue-orientation, academic pride, and equating archeological and evolutionary guess work to science.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The international church is displacing the denominational church as Christ’s church expands in leaps and bounds around the world. These are some of the most exciting times, and the most dangerous times in the history of the church. Kevin Swanson speaks to Tim Kessee, of Dispatches from the Front, on the courage and faith of the international heroes of the faith making history in this generation. What makes for a hero? And how do they serve as such an inspiration to the rest of us?

Evolutionists are desperately seeking Lucy, Peking Man, and others to fill in as missing links until they find the missing links. Why the desperation? Why are the first human civilizations extremely intelligent, arguably more so than the present? The desperation has an ethical motivation to it.

Jane Fonda is ever the radical for the wrong causes, but are there any radical Christians about these days? We define the word, and then take a look at the hypocrisy of those who strain at gnats and swallow camels. What about the New Jersey county that allows for the killing of children, but keeps the shops closed on Sundays? When the fundamental doctrines are lost, professing Christians begin to fixate on the minors and swallow the camels. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

American churches have lost 25% of its church attendance over just the last ten years, but that’s not too tough. . . because most of that is chaff. Catholics have seen 3 X the drop that Evangelicals have experienced, and Liberal Protestants have seen 2X the drop that Evangelicals have experienced. What makes the difference between a church with a solid truth foundation and that which is built of sand? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

It was a historic moment, as the final nation tipped over to a pro-abortion position. Now, all the nations have been deceived, no doubt by Satan. Kevin Swanson chronicles the amazing influence of Jesus Christ on the nations for the previous 1,900 years. Then, we take a look at how the devil deceives the nations beginning in 1920 (on abortion, and other anti-Christian ideologies and practices). Very interesting history on this edition of Generations!New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The media zeitgeist seems to have lulled the whole Christian world into a comfortable sleep. Will there be another awakening? Will there ever be another revival in the Western World? How can this nation ever expect to see a reversal of Obergefell. . . without a revival of the churches? How can we ever expect a relaxation of persecution of Christians in Corporations, in the Media, in Local Communities. . . without a revival in the churches? How can we push for a banning of third trimester abortions. . . when 73% of American evagenclials are using abortifacients? How will we ever see a turning back to God in the universities, the media, and the K-12 schools. . . if the churches are asleep, dead, and stark cold? If revival and regeneration are the work of the Holy Spirit, is there anything we can do to seek it? We discuss the crying need, the desperate need for revival right now, in our churches and homes.

Justin Bieber and Kanye West are Christians now. . . or are they? What are Christians to think when they hear these announcements? Also, Christians encourage us to redeem "the things of the world," including Yoga, Halloween, and the rest. But, what does this mean? What is that we would reject about all of this celebration of the "Day of the Dead?" What is there to redeem? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

82% of evangelical children attend public schools, according to new Pew Research Data. Does God have anything to say about the education of an 8-year-old child, or is it merely a matter of Christian liberty? What about the training of a child? Scotland parliament has banned spanking, joining New Zealand, Italy, Germany, Greece, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, and other post-Christian countries. Should Scottish parents disobey the law? Should they render to Caesar the things that are Caesar, especially if their children attend the public schools? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Should we honor the idolatrous ways of the Aztecs and Mayans, the human sacrifices that went on with those natives on the American plains? Should we gather around Mount Ararat to celebrate indigenous persons day? Or, do we honor Christopher Columbus? The tendency is to throw the whole Christian influence of the last 2000 years out with the bathwater. Revolutionary generations consider themselves “innocent of all,” yet they are not washed from their own sins. Revolutionary generations are dangerous. Be careful with those who throw all Christian influence out the window. When we honor a person or a particular event, we need to ask ourselves. . . specifically, what are we honoring?

Here are ten things families fight over. The bathroom. Food. Money. Music. Who is to blame for forgetting this or breaking that thing? We cover the most common conflicts that occur in the home, and dig for root cause. Then, we discuss the best ways to handle conflict, and how Christ brings that blessed unity and peace in our homes.

The peak influence of the church in the western world occurred during the Puritan era, and Matthew Henry represents the great impact of this movement upon the world. Daniel Pugh is the director of a new documentary film on the life and times of Matthew Henry. The tremendous persecution of these puritans and the powerful effect of family discipleship is seen with an influence that has reached the whole world over the last 300 years.

Christian homeschool parents are in prison in Cuba. More Christian parents and pastors are in trouble in China for attempting to give them a Christian education. We make the point that this is the core spiritual battle going on in the Christian world today. The tug-of-war is over our children. The pressures in America are different than China, but just about as strong. This program includes: 1.

Is it poverty and unemployment that makes cities a rotten, miserable place? Do we blame it on the poor? Or, is it the fact that people are breaking the commandments of God? The worst cities and most immoral cities in the country are San Francisco, Washington DC, Detroit, and Gary Indiana? We point to abortion, welfare, sexual sin, and the like as the causes for destroying cities — which usually results in drug problems, poverty, and unemployment. This program includes: 1.

How does a criminal get arrested 40 to 50 times, and turn out to be the most prolific serial killer in US history? Where was justice thirty years before he murdered all those people? Why does the modern world avoid justice, spanking, and consequences? What’s the worldview here? The message is clear. If there are no consequences here on earth, maybe, just maybe there won’t be any consequences on judgment day.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

“The Joker” is the most popular movie in the country now. The move from sheer evil to a self-conscious ethical relativism happens quickly in these franchise serials. We review the Joker’s transition in worldview from tragedy to comedy, and then move to the director’s move towards complete metaphysical relativism. We also note that so far this year movies retaining a biblical worldview captured 0.6% of box office receipts. Pretty slim over all.

Christian families are getting persecuted badly in Cuba. Here is a first hand report of Christian parents in prisons and work camps in Cuba for attempting to pull their kids out of public schools and homeschooling them. As with all communists and socialists, Christians are persecuted for keeping their kids out of the public schools and giving them a discipleship in the Lord.

In the year 2011, Time Magazine featured a front page article touting man’s overweening scientific optimism with these words: "Immortal by 2045." Three years later, the life expectancy of Americans dropped (for the first time in 150 years). "The boat is unsinkable, I tell you!" Man is still hoping that world unity will come by technology, prosperity will come by technology, and salvation will be ours through technology. The Federal Reserve cannot save you either. Afraid of the monster of all recessions, the Federal Reserve is lowering the prime with very little cushion left. 5.25 percent isn’t enough to save us from the next recession of all recessions. Only God can save us now. The lesson is theological and religious - always. Where is your faith?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Lifeway reports that evangelicals are more committed to socialism, shutting down immigration, and healthcare than they are to the pro-life position. We conclude that this has everything to do with their media choices. Evangelicals are 80% influenced by the left-wing media, and very little influenced by pastors and Christian news sources. The majority of professing Christians do not care about what the Bible really says. But, they seem to care what Huffington Post, NBC, and CNN says.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The life of Cain and the loss of relationship in the modern world has been completed, finally. Fully 95% of teens have a smartphone, and twice as many are “constantly on it” as were four years ago. The average of age of kids getting into porn is now 11 years of age. Will parents get their kids away from peers now, or just let them wander into the wilderness East of Eden at 11 years of age? Parents will either homeschool their kids or increasingly lose them to the this out-of-control post-modern medium. There is no other meaningful solution. Kevin Swanson provides eight rules he would use for controlling media in the home, if he was raising 6-7-8-9-10 year olds today. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

How much should Christians respond to these long and drawn out scandals, and the food fights between Fox News and CNN? When smoke bombs are going off in the post office, Christians know for sure that somebody is robbing the bank. What is the other scandal going on? What are the new organizations missing? We take a look at the real scandal of communism and abortion. We summarize the three most evil rulers over the last 70 years and how American apostates trained them for what they did. . . Mao Zedong, Kim Il Sung, and Robert Mugabe.

How are our liberties lost, decade after miserable decade? Freedoms just sort of slip away, but how does this happen. With the loss of fatherhood and manhood, comes the loss of everything — family, faith, and freedom. These things tie together. Some men are still standing in the gap, however. Randy Wilson from Family Research Council challenges us to faith first and then action. Will you stand courageous, dads?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The gender role blender is now blended into the gender blender one more time. Now male athletes must be able play on female sports teams, because males and females and males who want to be females and females who want to be males are all to be treated equally on the same team. . . ? Should Christians be pulled into these quandaries? Are we forced to the same definitions, the same terms, and the same worldview as the rest of the world? Kevin Swanson explains a biblical way of looking at “equality,” “sexual identity,” “same sex attraction,” “sexual orientation,” etc. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Europe and Asia have rushed into bonds yielding negative interest rates — some $13 trillion of these bonds. 55% of the world economy is moving towards negative interest rates. We’ve never been this far down the Keynesian road before. We examine the life and record of John Maynard Keynes, the man behind the $22 trillion of US federal debt, and the rest of it in Europe and Japan. Then, we recommend that Christians defend the islands of freedom, islands of culture, and islands of economy.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Peter Buttigieg, Mayor of South Bend and would-be president, believes the Bible allows for abortion until a baby takes his first breath. You’ve heard the phrase, “This is something we can all interpret differently.” The Bible becomes silly putty in the hands of men who twist it to their own destruction. We draw in 2 Peter to the present apostasy, again. And, we point out that the Bible distinguishes between the creation of Adam and the birth of a child.

It is a monumental time in human history as we witness the collapse of the greatest star system in human history. Television stars have barely half the importance they had 4 years ago. Popular music system is 1/10 the size of what it was in 1999. Hollywood is 1/2 the size of what it was in national influence. The Academy of Emmys was an embarrassment this year even with popular media. The great and proud empire of man has come down again. The world passes away with its lusts, but what do Christians do?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
