The Generations Radio Program

Russia and the United States have the highest divorce rates in the world. The marriage rate is also sinking fast.The family in much of the western world is disintegrating. Practically every church has to deal with families who have suffered from divorce, even to multiple generations. Here Kevin Swanson interviews Paul David Tripp, author of “What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage.” When sinners get married, this is where the Gospel shines and Jesus reconciles us to Himself and to each other. It is a beautiful picture.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We review the recent remake of Ben Hur, what turned out to be a $100 million bomb, only taking in $26 million at the box office. Why does it fall far short of the 1959 classic? We also look at the blood lust and the violence involved in the old Roman games. Given the interest in reality fornication-fests with the Bachelorette, etc., will there be reality hunts and killings broadcast on the internet sometime in the near future? The fastest-growing spectator sport in America is cage fighting and MMA. How shall Christians interact with these games? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

What the government funds the government controls. If the American government wants the next generation to be pro-abortion, pro-socialist, and pro-homosexual, they would seize control of the education system, which is exactly what they're doing right now. Conservatives are protesting Drag Queen Story Hours and asking for educational exemptions, but we really need the government out of the education of children altogether and parents need to train their children from God's Word.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

82% of American adults believe that humans have evolved over time. On this edition of the program, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss how even American evangelicals are beginning to turn away from the epistemological authority of God's Word, believing that men once lived like cavemen.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

When men like Israel Folau get in trouble with the politically correct police, the problem turns out to be the Bible itself. Officials finally admit that it is quoting the Bible that gets you in the most trouble. We call on Christian leaders to speak out for the persecuted, for Christians fined and in prison for their faith in America and Australia.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

In this edition of the Generations Radio program, Kevin Swanson interviews Noah Sanders to discuss the joys that come with the family economy and children getting to work alongside their parents. Noah Sanders is a farmer, homesteader, author, teacher, and founder of Redeeming the Dirt, a ministry that seeks to glorify God through agricultural endeavors.

The only nations left with positive birth rates are found in Africa, along with Saudi Arabia, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines, just in case you want to know which nations will dominate the world in 2100 AD. Are empty cribs related to empty pews? The dying of faith seems to have some link to the dying of family. We take a moment to talk about only child families, the prevalence of which has doubled since 1976. The encouragement is to be thankful for the children that God gives to us. How do we view each other in the church where families are blessed with varying numbers of children?

We are a little shocked when we learn that the majority of members in one of the most conservative Presbyterian denominations accepts homosexuality. A bit of a controversy arises among PCA leaders surrounding the pride marches. Shall we street preach or pass out water bottles to the pride marches? Would we pass out water bottles and food to predator men who are picking up underaged girls on the beaches? Kevin Swanson warns about endless discussions on strategies in reaching out to sinners with the Gospel. However, there should be something of an assessment of the hardness of hearts in various contexts. WWJD? Would Jesus do acts of mercy and miracles in Capernaum given the hardness of men’s hearts? This introduces an important discussion on the definition of love. Do we coddle people in their sins, or introduce the Gospel to them?

The whole world is celebrating pride unlike any other time in human history. Pride has never been this celebrated, this virtuous, and this widespread. What kind of fall might come after this kind of pride? Could the final judgment of the nations be right around the corner now? The problem is the minimization of God and the maximization of man. . . and the consequences are dire. But, what is the antidote for those who wish to hide themselves in the day of God’s judgment?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Is there a heritage to honor with this country, or even with the heritage of Christian faith (that all Christians can enjoy)? We honor a rich heritage given by God in this country — the culmination of a Protestant Reformation from the 17th Century. Then, we identify the worst moments in American history - days that will live unto infamy. And, we look at the best moments — the high points of American history that were born of American faith. The great Christians who went before us left a legacy which must be honored. The stories really must be told. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

God brings temporal destruction on places like San Francisco. Then there is eternal destruction as well. A recent study found that fundamentalist Christians do not have hell anxiety, whereas doubters do. We provide reasons why believers don’t need to fear hell, and how you can be sure you are going to heaven. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Pornography is an epidemic. 80% of young men are addicted to porn. In this edition of the Generations Radio program, Kevin Swanson interviews the vice president of Covenant Eyes, Sam Black on this growing issue.

A popular homeschooling resource is promoting homosexuality, and more cause to realize that this stuff isn’t neutral. But, most Christian parents are still drawn to the free public schools and free curriculum regardless of the consequences. How do worldviews affect literature, history, and science, and thereby rob our children by philosophy and vain deceit?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

It was the explosive moment of the season for The Bachelorette, when a professing Christian, Luke P. suggested that promiscuous sexuality might be bad. The whole entertainment world slipped into a coma for a few hours. But then, another professing Christian, The Bachelorette herself told everybody that she can do “whatever,” and Jesus still loves her, and forgives her. This introduces a conversation on the “Jesus Loves Me This I Know, So I’ll Keep on Rolling with the Flow” worldview. Does Jesus’s washing constitute only “forgiveness?” What does it mean, when we read that all fornicators go to hell, and no homosexual will inherit the kingdom of God? Is it possible to have forgiveness without new life, and faith without repentance?

Bo Peep gets a masculine make-over. Jessie gets to be sheriff. And the domesticated life is pretty much jettisoned by the gang from Toy Story Land. Why do almost all of the sequels for these franchises tend towards the gender blender? Will we train our 10-year-old daughters in the feminist ideal? Toy Story 4 is the most popular children’s movie to date by first week box office sales, but will our 5-10 year old kids see the problem with Emersonian transcendentalism?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Eschatology and apocalyptic systems of thought can get you into a lot of trouble. How does one maintain the right balance when it comes to these mattes? What are the majors and what the minors in these debates? Christians divide on eschatology quickly, but what would a more prudent person do with the doctrine of the end of the world? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Will the Southern Baptist Convention and the Southern PCA denomination survive the worldview wars heating up, as the Gramscian Marxists level their guns and flip to rapid fire? Could Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, Misplaced Generational Guilt, and Social Justice tear them apart? Only if they refuse to stand on God’s law as the ethical standard, and the Gospel wherein there can be true unity and a healthy body. What happens when Christians are caught in the maelstrom of the world’s fight over the definition of sin?

Survey Monkey’s report on the most racist nations find that Hindus, Buddhists, and Communist (Humanist) nations are the most racist, and those nations with the strongest Christian heritage are the least racist. We doubt that the mainstream media will publicize that survey! However, the racial warmongers are working hard to stir up more angst, and to push for reparations as a big issue in the 2020 elections. This program provides a biblical answer the question of reparations, and the real solution to cultural disunity.

Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Keller, the US Supreme Court, and Margaret Sanger were all caught up in the furor of Darwinist eugenics during the 1920s. This was no light matter. The eugenicist social Darwinism was the ideology that produced two world wars. Are you reading history rightly, and on which side of history will posterity find you? When Teddy Roosevelt et al abandoned God’s Word, he went astray. Will the same thing happen to those who join in with the present spirit of the age? Exodus 23 reminds us not to fall in with a crowd to do evil.

The top female pop star Taylor Swift leads the zeitgeist with an attempt to castigate those who still hold to traditional marriage as something lower than trailer trash. Indeed, those who still hold to God’s ordinance of marriage have a lower income on average and less education. Why do money, fame, and power lend towards opposing God, and human pride?

The household of Stephanas was addicted to the ministry of the saints. One of the most basic elements of a Christian home is the entertaining of “strangers.” Teresa Bowen explains the blessings of Christian hospitality, and presents a worldwide network of homes where you can enjoy Christian hospitality and a true building up of the body of Christ.

Billy Graham’s Decision Magazine goes after the new progressivism. . . hard. The temptation for younger Christians is to confuse graciousness with softiness, and humility with mushy headedness. We define the postmodern form of progressivism and challenge Christians to take the stand for Christ and the Gospel in this squishy age.

Shall we celebrate “Lust-Pride Month” on President Donald Trump’s admonition? If pride comes before a fall, that probably wouldn’t be a very good idea. We take a quick look at what some call the “Zero-sum” game for religious freedom with the Trump administration. Why aren’t we making any progress on any of this? Also, a California Christian school is about to be shut down for what appears to be resisting the Borg. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A recent poll found that 55% of American women would rather live in a socialist country, and 43% of American men would rather live in a socialist country. Women vote more liberal (by 24% margin), and more women vote by a 15% margin. We explain why, and then challenge Christians with a strategy — How do we get ready to live in a socialist country?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The power of the "gay borg" on almost every Fortune 500 company is unprecedented in its force and spiritual in its origin. The Gramscians captured the culture and the educational systems. . . but now the corporate interests too. Almost all the major stores, insurance agencies, airlines, health organizations, and computer businesses now have joined the borg. Is all resistance futile? Boycotts won’t do anything substantial. So what will Christians do? Must we fear the borg? We don’t think so.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

One way or the other, the Gospel must get out. But how does one do this in a world that is shut up to it? A growing cadre of godly, prudent street preachers are rising up and taking the Gospel to the streets in America, Scotland, England, and elsewhere. Street preaching has never been popular, ever. But, the Word still needs to get out, and these men have the fervor and faith to do it. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Alabama State Legislature has just voted to do away with the marriage license. Christians are increasingly abandoning the marriage license anyway, and restoring marriage to a rightful jurisdiction of the family. Yet, the church and the state are witnesses. How does this work? How much does a father get involved in the marriage of his daughters? Is there a balance between being overly controlling and failing to provide accountability and good preparation for our daughters and sons?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Several very interesting surveys help us to better understand the changing dynamics of the Millennial Generation. They have 3X the debt, and about half the net worth of the Gen Xers at the same age. Economic, social, and political optimism at record lows for them But, they are way more interested in picking up a tract or listening to the Gospel than the previous generations. Praise God! The opportunities await us with the Millennial Generation.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We wrap up the most liberal legislative year in Colorado history. But if God is with us, and you take advantage of the island of freedom available to your Christian family in Colorado, it really ain’t that bad! The statists are pushing hard for all-day kindergarten, yet it has been a disaster in the model state—West Virginia! We review the Jean-Jacques Rousseau legacy of statist education—and his commitment to remove the child from the home and put all children under state-funded professionals. We also take a look at the dangers of starting too early, and the maximum liberty that we enjoy as Christians to teach as Jesus did, instead of devolving into a socialist one-size-fits-all approach.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The liberals get everything wrong. They outlaw the declawing of cats, they approve of infanticide, and they ban spanking. Is it save the children or kill them? Are we loving children when we kill them in abortion clinics? Are we loving children when we refuse to correct sin in their lives? We must start with the Bible when it comes to every part of life. Bottom line — We have a sin problem in the home, and discipline is part of striving against sin in the home. Discipline and spanking are essential in the Christian home. We communicate a message — sin is not okay. There is one more message to communicate - Jesus Christ came to save us from our sins! Hallelujah!New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There is no more repressive state with a record of killings as extensive as Communist China. These roots of oppression run deep — 2,500 years deep. Kevin Swanson interviews Steven Mosher, preeminent expert on China and author of “The Broken Earth” and “Bully of Asia - Why China’s Dream is the New Threat.” Is the growth of Christianity a threat to the communist party? Has the repression eased at all since the days of Mao? Steven Mosher explains the nightmarish human rights abuses he has personally witnessed including forced abortions and forced infanticide. As well, Mosher reports on how China harvests organs from prisoners by paralyzing their victim so they can extract their organs while the victim is still alive.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Anxious for marriage, thirty-five year old women are asking the question, “Where are all the good men?” The problem of delayed marriage is a consequence of a much larger and much more tangled web of social sins and contagions. It’s not wrong to put off marriage, but it’s just plain wrong to put off marriage for the wrong reasons. There seems to be a concern about maturity and manliness, but what is this? The Scriptures give us a picture of faith, sobriety, and doing the things God wants a man to do. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Recent revelations of Martin Luther King Jr. from Pulitzer Prize Winner, David Garrow, is sure to cause some stir with the Me Too crowd. The allegations from newly released FBI files include 40 affairs and laughing at friends raping others, etc. This introduces the question — who will our heroes be? Shall we take on every media darling and assume this to be a hero? Those who forsake the law of God praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them. We suggest 27 truly great Christian heroes that are worth honoring in this nation’s history.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Franklin Graham has called for a Day of Prayer for the President this Sunday to further embolden him. We present some of the varied views of the president from leading Christians. Some call him a “Jehu” cleaning out the house of Ahab. Some call him “chemo therapy” for America. Is the chemo therapy working? And what is the cancer, and how will this president be able to address the cancer?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Fantasy is supposed to be soothing to the souls of men running away from God. But how does torture, perversion, and grotesque violence soothe the wicked? It may appear to be a temporary escape from God, but it produces the nightmare of Game of Thrones. The fantasy series turned out to be a gigantic disappointment, but of course it would. All fantasy is ultimately disappointing when it is over. . . unless we come to believe in the reality of the Resurrection! The preferred fantasy world seems to involve far more torture and grotesque forms of violence now. Will this prepares the world for a desensitization towards the next set of genocides? Yet, God is sovereign, and He will not allow for a centralized Babel tendency for long.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Families are seeking ways they can minister, ways to lay down a life, wash the feet of Jesus’s people, and. . . basically live the Christian life. We provide a couple of ideas on this segment of Generations. There are hundreds of opportunities for ministry. There are thousands of opportunities for families who want to team up and “addict themselves to the ministry of the saints.” Here are some exciting stories.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Washington state has approved America’s first human composting law, reducing human value to fertilizer. Environmentalism will inevitably devalue humanity, because there is no fear of God and no right estimation of the value of man (as created by God). There is no submission to the creation order laid out in Psalm 8. Cremating, composting, consumption of blood, tattooing, witchcraft, and androgyny are all back in a post-Christian, paginated age. We also discuss the reintroduction of wolves into Wyoming and Idaho, and the biblical mandate to take dominion over the animals (including rhinos and elephants).

The great socialist experiments in the world have turned into a disaster. And, now 43% of Americans favor socialism up from 36% in 2007 and up from 25% in 1942. And that’s 51% of millennials now go for socialism. When the character of the people has rotted away, socialism constructs an R.I.P. sign for the socio-economic system of the nation. But, what do Christians do? Kevin Swanson discusses how the biblical church rejects stealing and socialism, and begins to provide true charity to the widows in need.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Psalms have fallen on hard times in the church. Why are the Psalms so neglected in our worship? Is it the intensity of the Psalms, the Godwardness of the Psalms, the holiness and wrath of God upheld by the Psalms, or the faith it takes to sing them? The Psalms represent the very heartbeat of the Christian life. There is something extremely wrong with a church that cannot sing Psalm 137, Psalm 94, Psalm 7, Psalm 51, and Psalm 75 in a worship service. The whole conception of Christianity has got to be wrong, if the Psalms would ruin a worship service in the modern church. TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THE PSALMS.

There is a growing divide with evangelicals, especially as we approach the 2020 elections. The President for the entire Southern Baptist denomination gives approval for the pro-abort vote and endorses “LGBT rights.” Lecrae, the rapper is leaning the same direction. If some sins are more heinous, how does the Bible lay that out especially when it comes to the civil magistrate? Kevin Swanson identifies the rub in these discussions — and it appears to be a commitment to Marxism and social justice vs. biblical law as it directs the civil magistrate. However, there is something even more basic going on here. . . and that is the very Gospel itself. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

C. William Pollard has served as the CEO of Service Master, a Fortune 500 company. What makes for wise decisions at those definitive moments? How does a Christian leader maintain a good sense of priorities? What makes for a good business or a good ministry? Why is mentorship absolutely essential for setting the right directions? As one of the most respected Christian businessmen in America, Bill Pollard has tremendous wisdom for the rest of us who are right now navigating the currents of life.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Now the nation has defined marriage wrongly, there is no use in the Christian respecting the state’s involvement in the institution. Shall the Christian Church respect a marriage of a man and his pet? Of course the true church will ignore Obergefell. True Christians cannot support a wedding of a man and his dog. But, is this the time for Christian families, Christian churches, and the state governments to ditch the marriage license altogether?

A great deal of controversy surrounds Rachel Held Evans’ death, and sides are developing fast. Was she a sinner or a saint? Was she ever a saint? While others argue these things out, we take a broad look at the more fundamental ideas represented by this side of a dying evangelicalism.

Increasingly, women are writing the books and the Bible studies when men fail to lead. Will the Southern Baptist Church yield on the feminist point? Will pragmatism prevail? Does it really do any good to oppose God’s order of things? Must we ignore 1 Corinthians 14:34?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

In the 19th and 20th centuries, books were being written by wicked men (Hawthorne, Steinbeck, etc.) to convey wicked thoughts and teaching. Today, after years of indoctrination in this way of thinking, America is finally waking up to the reality of what this kind of thinking actually teaches. School shootings are on the rise in the U.S. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the STEM School shooting in Colorado on this edition of the Generations radio program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There is an aggressive, insidious, international plot that is in full swing now—intended to capture the hearts, minds, and souls of children all around the world. Not a single nation is safe from this powerful, international plan. Why are the schools universally corrupted in conservative states and liberal states alike? Have you ever asked that question?

Christians are still ahead in terms of babies born in the world, but the Muslims are gaining fast. The Western existentialist worldview is fast working to destroy Christian countries, implode their birth rates, and educate each successive generation in the corrupting worldview. But, this bad worldview is corrupting Muslim nations too. Which nations will they corrupt first and fastest? The faith to have babies is a practical faith, a real faith, and yields to life.

Raised in a fundamentalist Christian home, this pastor of a number of evangelical churches for the past twenty years. . . now says, “It was all faked.” He trace his doubts to the 8th grade when he was reading the Greek fables. Is an education in the vain philosophies of the Greeks essential to a Christian paideia/education? We analyze Pastor Dave Gass’s confession of apostasy on this edition of Generations.

Secular psychologists are concerned about the influence that “13 Reasons” is having on teens and tweens. The TV program is going into its 3rd season, dallying with suicide, ennobling suicide. . .

Jesus, John the Baptist, Peter, and Paul would call for repentance and warn of the judgment of God. But this doesn’t work for Hillsong’s Brian Houston. He says such public statements just scare people, and it doesn’t provide the love of "Jesus." We try to understand why Brian Houston is not defending the persecuted Australian, Izzy Folau, who was just found guilty of blasphemy in the court of Sodom and Gomorrah (Rugby Australia). We ask the question of the wandering, slipping and sliding evangelicals—Whose side are you on? Also, we share a few lessons to learn from the courageous faith exhibited by the likes of Israel Folau.
