The Generations Radio Program

Do only men face sexual temptation or is this something women deal with as well? Bethany Baird and Kristen Clark speak to these temptations and the victory that is found in Jesus in this interview. Bethany and Kristen have coauthored a new book called Embrace Your Sexuality with Passion, Purpose, and Purity.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Homo Luzonensis makes the headlines, as evolutionists delight in what COULD be their ancestors. . . all except for the fact that the critical bones for this missing link are still. . . well, missing. So, this adds to the eternal frustration of evolutionists who scrape and scrape the soil to find some possibility that God is a non-factor in a human evolution. We discuss the lack of evidence and the utter impossibility of human evolution. Then, we talk about a science that is really formed on a biblical worldview. It is not a science that is mainly focused on undermining evolution and mocking evolutionists.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

It's the biggest movie of all time (at least for the modern age of film). Avengers Endgame have exploded box office records, hitting the $2 billion mark in just 11 days. The whole world’s love affair with fantasy films has reached a high pitched fever. We analyze the movie’s worldview, using real movie quotes and getting to the real source of power attributed to the “gods” or “superheroes.” Christians and non-Christians from around the world are imbibing more of the zeitgeist of sorcery, witchcraft, the fates, and the pagan gods battling it out for control over the infinity stones and “who gets to be omniscient and omnipotent for day.” Will the majority of kids raised in Christian home continued absorbing the wrong worldviews in the temples of Zeus (or Marvel)?

The accused in the San Diego synagogue shootings was a member of a reformed presbyterian church, and his father an elder in the congregation, according to reports. The question Christianity Today asks is, “Who is to blame?” We tackle the nature vs. nurture question again, but caution against weighing too heavily on the social/environmental causes. We take a look at the Bowe Bergdahl, Paul Hill, and John T. Earnest stories, and draw in Scriptural explanations and warn against the secular attacks on church teaching and the slippery, sweeping generalizations about “provocative” language.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A Pew Research study finds America three times more divided than in 2009. Americans are not happy, and they have lost a common cultural denominator. Is it President Obama’s fault, or is it President Trump’s fault? Or . . .is it God? Kevin Swanson runs through the generational divide, the gender divide, and the cultural/minority divide. . . and communicates the data on what could be the greatest political and national unraveling in our history. The answer to this milieu again. . . is to be found in the church.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

How can those who have abandoned the Gospel’s power survive in the same denomination with those who still believe in it? The ignoring of the powerful work of God, the law of God, the horrific character of sin, the holiness of God, and the Gospel is taking its toll on the Methodist church. Sometimes, there are very dangerous people that show up in church and become the next series of Alexander the Coppersmiths. What does a church do in times like these? Preach hard, hold on to the Gospel tight, and obliterate humanist post-Christian literature and media from your home.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Two stories come into our newsroom simultaneously, rich in symbolism. 70% of millennials are relying on income from parents to uphold their lifestyles . . .and, the Social Security fund is bankrupt in just 16 years. But, where did the breakdown in character occur? Did the baby boomers give birth to the millennials, and how did it happen? However, the good news comes in when we realize the real root problem. . . because then, we find the solution. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Homeschooling parents in Cuba have been thrown in jail. Canadian parents are losing their 14-year-old children to the state transgender machine. Chinese churches and parents face prison for giving their children a Christian education. Now, the same battle is being waged in Colorado and Washington State. Yet, islands of freedom have developed. Will parents continue to defend these islands? The alternative is unthinkable - the destruction of our children at the hands of the state. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The conservative creationism movement has seen a bit of schism-ism of late with the flat earth theory gaining a little traction in the community. As conservative Christians seek to move further right, or east as it were, they find themselves holding to increasingly eccentric doctrines. Does this give the glory to God, or is there some other principle working? We interview Pat Roy and Kyle Justice, producers of a new film on the flat earth theory called "Faith on the Edge." We look at some of the biblical verses that seem to indicate a flat earth, and the scientific explanations on either side.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The most dangerous years in the lives of children raised in the church are the junior and high school years. That’s when young people begin to doubt and to make plans to leave. And, the most dangerous subjects in the junior high and high school years are history and literature. That’s because worldviews play heaviest in these subjects. Math and grammar aren’t as important. Every parent should be very concerned over the type of liberal arts teachers bringing these subjects to their kids in charter schools, classical schools, or co-ops. The battle of ideas is most intense when it comes to liberal arts curriculum. Liberal arts colleges, including those that call themselves Christian, are almost without exception the most liberal, opposing Scriptural view of ethics, reality, the nature of man, etc. at the most key points. We offer curriculum at our lowest prices, and we’re throwing in free postage, until the end of Friday. Generations curriculum is 50-80% lower than the typical prices you pay for other curriculum on the market.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

So much of the quality of our relationship hinges on our communication. How do parents correct, rebuke, affirm, and just converse with their children? How do you communicate when things are a little frosty around the edges? You will appreciate this very powerful interview with Bill Smith, author of the new book “Parenting with Words of Grace.” This content only applies to our homes and our relationships every waking hour of the day!

Why do so many worship leaders look so “gay”? That’s the subject matter of a recent blog. Is there a lack of repentance? Or is it a lack of God’s authority? Are we stuck with weak forms and a weak faith? The influence of romanticism leaves us with homosexuality, effeminacy, simplistic emotional highs, and no real substance of faith, worship, truth, and life. We take a look at a “Call to Repentance” composition from Keith Green during the height of the Jesus movement. There is a vast difference between singing how we feel and singing what we believe. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Americans have increased their abortifacient use by 35-40% in just eight years since Obamacare kicked in. Does this mean America is less pro life or more pro life? Are we killing more or less babies? We also take a look at the reticence to refer to abortion as murder. Would the mother be guilty of murdering her babies, or would you hold the abortionists liable?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A pastor of a Bible Presbyterian Church is booted after calling homosexuality a sin and inviting a little persecution. Are the goats outnumbering the sheep these days? Meanwhile, Australia’s #4 Rugby player is kicked out of the league for calling sinners to repentance. Here are several examples of courage in a homosexualized, compromised, wimpified, faithless age. Here are some refreshing stories, including rugby star, Israel Folau’s confession: “I love playing footy. . . But my faith in Jesus Christ is what comes first.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Nortre-Dame Cathedral burns in a spectacular fire just a few days before the celebration of Easter. The symbolism is inescapable. The European faith began to die about the time the cathedral’s foundations were laid. We provide the history of the dissolution of the faith in France, beginning in the 1200s and coming to fruition at the St. Bartholomew’s Day’s massacre. We also discuss the confusion concerning government jurisdictions that seem to be prevalent in evangelicalism today.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Ohio has made some strides in the pro-life fight. Segments of the pro-life movement are making progress, and how is this happening? We interview Mark Harrington on the strategy that’s working. One of the most impactful things you can do for a young person raised in a Christian home is to put them on the front lines of the battle for life. We show you how to do it on this edition of Generations.

We revisit the Gen 2 survey on church trends with the homeschooled millennials. The Evangelicals, the Baptists, and the Pentecostals are losing homeschooled graduate kids, and the Catholics, the Orthodox, the Episcopalians and the Atheists are gaining some ground with these kids. What is the attraction to the “smells and bells?” New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A film director of the leading children’s film in the world right now explains how he is normalizing dragons, inclusivism, and homosexuality, and that sort of thing. Do we normalize dragons? Do we train dragons or do we kill them? Psalm 144 calls us to fight the world and seek the covenant blessings of faithful children, polished cornerstones, and fruitful plants. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Is the final judgment coming? The statistics seem to bear it out. Since 1960, the world has come under severe judgment. According to many of the biblical descriptions of judgment, most of the world has fallen sharply into almost all of these conditions. We look at debt. . . birth implosions. . . females leading states. . . and homosexuality. Also, the state of the church in America is not much better. The top best selling Christian books ten years ago were written mostly by men. Now, they are ALL written by women evangelical leaders. We provide some guidance from 2 Peter 2 and Psalm as to the mindset Christians need at this critical hour. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Christian colleges are quickly jettisoning creation and biblical sexual ethics as “essentials” to the faith. Can we abandon God’s law and creation just as long as we hold on to some weak conception of justification by faith alone. About 7% of Christian colleges are holding strong on creation. What happens to the faith when the epistemological authority of God and the ethical authority of God is removed?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Has the pro-life movement been hampered by a lack of principle. . .an unwillingness to just say “No” to killing babies? We descend into sin incrementally, but must repentance be likewise incremental? We discuss the importance of a heart commitment to principle, and a rejection of halfway measures when it comes to something as wicked as killing babies. But, must the church first repent of using abortifacient birth control pills before we go after the heathen and their affinity to infanticide?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The 19th century produced the wrong kind of piety, that worked hard for the elimination of the death penalty and the outlawing of alcohol. The civil magistrate today maintains about a 0.1% obedience ratio to God’s law, and that’s down from about 0.6% in 1999, when it comes to dealing with the murderer. God has commanded us to do justly, to love mercy, and walk humbly before our God. What would it look like if we took 1 for 3 or 2 for 3, but refused to live according to all three?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Bookstores are clogged with thousands of self-help books — the first problem of which is what we cannot help ourselves. God must help us. Kevin Swanson briefly discusses the problems with the certain pentecostalist perspectives relating to signs and miracles, prayer, and the sovereignty of man. Then we look at some of the most commonly used self-help, success books on the market. We find that they tend to tout the wrong worldview, setting man’s sovereign will against the sovereignty of God. Then faith is placed more in self than in God. When both goal and motive is wrong, can we trust the method will be the right one? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The use of Ritalin has increased 89% in just the last four years, and now 20% of boys are diagnosed with ADHD. Dutch researchers have finally done a long-term effects study on the use of Ritalin. . . not good. What does God want of boys? Is it appropriate to nail every six-year-old boy to a chair for six hours a day? We outline the importance of biblical discipline, trusting God for His wisdom, and considering the spiritual element. We also contrast man’s standards for behavior with God’s standards. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The movie is in the theaters, and it is breaking records for pro-life movies. But, here is the inside story from the real Abby Johnson, the Planned Parenthood Director who decided to walk across the street and join the pro-life organization that had opposed her for eight years! The truth is camouflaged by a hundred layers of deceit. But by the grace of God, some make it out. Abby Johnson tells her story on this edition of Generations. It is the dramatic story of a former Planned Parenthood Leader's eye-opening journey across the life line. You will get a look from both sides of the fence on this abortion issue. How do Planned Parenthood employees view themselves? How do they look at the pro-life community? How do we penetrate the powerful systems, the lies, and the funding that buttresses the pro-death culture in this country? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

What will stop the bleeding as young people flock out of the church? Protestant pastors now see the problem as the public schools. But it will take far more than removing children out of public schools. The key is the heart of the father. Todd Kangas has 8 children, and 10 grandchildren and they are being raised in the Lord. Oh that fathers would love God, love the Word, and love their children. That would make all the difference.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The progressives are gradually working their way towards the complete implementation of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s agenda. California and Colorado are working hard towards implementing total statism, this time by incorporating all-day, state-funded kindergarten. In the words of Adolf Hitler, “This new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.” What is the best strategy for Christian leaders and parents who want to oppose complete state control of the minds and hearts of the children? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

She’s the most popular children’s book author in evangelicalism today. But, is the problem with the Sally Lloyd-Jones’ new book “Goldfish on Vacation” that it includes a “homosexual family” and she appears to be on board with that? Or is the problem with the worldview? We take a look at Sally Lloyd-Jones’ worldview in the Jesus Storybook Bible. Then we ask the question why Christians are so infatuated with the Frozen motion picture and the radical humanist autonomy in Elsa’s song lyrics “Let it Be.” Whether or not she turns out to be a lesbian in Frozen II is virtually immaterial. This “no rules for me” worldview that slips into Christian children’s books and children’s movies is the old Satanic temptation that came in the garden.

The SPLC has been tormenting Christian organizations since 2002 — the source of a great deal of persecution in the present day. Does anybody remember ISIS? Does anybody remember Kmart and Waldenbooks? The extent of the rule of the wicked these days is coming to be shorter and shorter, and yet why are Christians so afraid? I have seen the wicked in great power. . .and behold he was no more. Indeed, I looked all over the place for him and he was nowhere to be found. This makes for an encouraging discussion on the power and sovereignty of God over history.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A UK Immigration Home Office response to an Iranian refugee is priceless, and reminds us of the post-Christian animus against Christians (even those who will be killed for their faith). The accusation is that the Christian faith is a violent religion. We analyze this charge. Is this a peaceful faith or a violent faith? The answer, of course is, yes.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

If you had a choice between sending your children into a Transgender & Homosexuality Indoctrination System. . .or losing your children to a government social services department, what would you do? Which would you choose? What if you had no option, and you could not move out of the country? These are the choices that are more and more facing families living in the modern socialist nations in the West. Kevin Swanson interviews Elizabeth Wiens on her new book, “Unshakeable, A Story of Unwavering Faith and Conviction,” exploring just such scenarios.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We come back to the question — should we buy girl scout cookies, given their ongoing support for Planned Parenthood, “Reproductive Rights,” lesbianism, etc. etc.? We take the question apart a bit to analyze it. Given the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade featuring lesbians this year, shall we boycott Macy’s? Obviously, these things can be taken to ridiculous ends, but what are the principles involved? We take a careful look at Paul’s injunction in 1 Corinthians 10:23ff, and address the Christian's involvement in ideological programs that counter the Christian faith at almost every point.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

It’s not Christian pastors that are persecuted in America. It’s just Christian businessmen and women that are taking the hit at this point. The US Supreme Court refused to defend the Christian B&B in Hawaii in a decision last week. Is there anything stopping this “gay” juggernaut? Yet, there really is nothing to fear here. It's a paper tiger, and God is sovereign over all of this foolishness. The world is destroying itself, but is this really going impact Christian businesses all that much?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A junior high school recently offered fairs for their students that celebrated perverted lifestyles. This is a perfect example of education that has completely abandoned the fear of God. On this edition of the Generations radio program, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss Christian curriculum and how important it is to have God's Word as a part of everyday life.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Why won’t Congress act to protect our daughters from combat and the draft? Why won’t the President act? Why is the military draft and military combat inevitable for our daughters? Nobody dares speak out against egalitarianism, or their reputations will be entirely ruined by the Cultural Marxist Juggernaut. Just somebody say it...men are afraid. Men have lost reason and faith. Men have lost their chests. Men are hiding under the beds. But, what must WE do? Kevin Swanson unveils the one thing that fathers must do if they protect their children from the draft.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

C.S. Lewis wrote of a hideous strength, a scientific, technological tyranny which would manipulate the masses. He wasn’t quite right. The tyranny turned out to produce snowflakes and cultural Marxists, undermining the family and enforcing the godhood of the individual on everybody. It is political correctness on steroids, and almost everybody is caught up in it. Kevin Swanson interview Melvin Tinker, author of “That Hideous Strength: How the West Was Lost."New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The numbers are in. . . The decrepit old nations more taken down by pornography than any other nation now are England, Canada, Australia, and the United States. The destruction this brings to the fiber of a nation and to the lives of young men is practically immeasurable. The two things that serve as some of the most active dry rot in nations are porn and socialism — nothing better at breaking down character and economy. Yet, there is mercy to be found. If there was a sense of desperation and need, then there would be mercy to be found in Jesus Christ — even for these western nations.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Evangelical colleges like Northwestern are kicking out pro-life speakers for “controversy” they might generate on campus — speakers that have already addressed secular audiences at UCLA, Harvard, and elsewhere. The cowardice of these evangelical colleges takes your breath away, but there are some heroes of the faith still around in our century. We end the program on a positive note - faith does exist with men like Phillip Zodiahates and Jack Phillips who keep standing and standing despite the blowback.

The United Kingdom’s new Relationships and Sex Education Statutory Guidance has just been released, requiring all school teachers to positively affirm LGBT relationships. If they don’t, they will probably lose their jobs. Parents Opt-outs are disappearing too. Homeschool programs in Colorado (tax paid) are also going to be required to incorporate LGBT and comprehensive sex ed training. God is testing American and British Christians. The pressure is only intensifying, until the real Christians stand up and say, “We will not participate in these abominations.” Do western Christians sail to heaven on flowery beds of ease, while the Chinese Christians sail through bloody seas? We don’t think so. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Congressperson Ocascio Cortez is the most influential Democrat in the country at least by Twitter and Instagram Accounts. She has become somewhat of kick toy of the right. But, we want to take a closer look at worldviews. Examining an interview with South by Southwest, we note the growing intelligibility and the breakdown of language. The deconstruction of language is all part of the deconstruction of the old empires.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The modern homeschooling movement seemed to be slouching back into Egypt, forgetting all the reasons why we homeschooled at the beginning. Are we going to transgender our bathrooms, attend the proms, and drag the public school routine into the homeschool? Kevin Swanson speaks with Bria Drotar from the Old School Home School.com blog. What are the ways to maximize the biblical principles of learning in the homeschool environment, instead of hamstringing the homeschool with the way the “system” does it?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The children in the world are losing their identity. Prince Harry is raising his daughter gender fluid, identity fluid. They are lost children. They aren’t just losing gender identity. . . they are losing all identity. But how do we raise our children? We go through biblical terminology for our children. Do your children belong to Jesus? Does God call them "My children? Holy children?"New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A Colorado high school male wrestler has forfeited what could have been the state-wide championship, when he refused to wrestle a female. The world pretends to be honoring women by obliterating the role differences and forcing them into competition with men. This introduces a very practical discussion on how we honor our wives, our daughters, and our sisters in the church.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

What is it that contributes to the spiritual health of young people? Two recent studies discovered that it wasn’t youth groups, Sunday schools, vacation Bible school, etc. etc. It turned out that Ephesians 6:4 and Hebrews 3:13 got it right. It turns out that daily discipleship and regular Bible reading made the difference. How did the modern church miss this message? We discuss the factors that contribute to spiritual health for our children in their formative years.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Is persecution the only thing that will grow the church around the world? The church is facing more and more persecution, especially in Asia and the Middle East. Hebrews tells us to remember those who are in bonds, and it is an important part of any Christian's life to visit and pray for the persecuted church. In this edition of the Generations radio program, Kevin Swanson talks about ministering to our brothers and sisters in chains.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

It should go without saying that the great need for our families and our churches is prayer. The precursor to revival is prayer (whether in family or church). When God’s people are burdened to pray, this itself is a sign that revival is on its way. Is your church praying? Kevin Swanson speaks with Dennis Gunderson on his new book on “The Praying Church.”New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

What’s not so amazing about grace? We analyze the theology of doubt, the powerlessness of grace, and the smallness of God in the modern evangelical mind. We analyze the best selling book on grace of the last twenty years on this segment of the program - "What’s So Amazing About Grace." What happens when God is not sovereign, grace is weak, and uncertainty rules? This is one of the best pictures of the weakening of faith in this generation.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Powerful systems, powerful pastors and popes tend to increase the occurrence of spiritual abuse. But, what is this abuse? Kevin Swanson defines humanist terms in biblical language, and proceeds to list the ways that pastors give way to sin. . . some personal confessions included. But, in the end - the rule of eldership within churches and between churches is God’s system of accountability. Every pastor should seek it out in humility, despite its obvious inefficiencies.

Parents in Santa Barbara, California are up in arms over a curriculum that they say is "anti-white, anti-male, and anti-Christian." Why do the educational systems now want to stir up even more class warfare and dissension between cultures? The curriculum philosophy is finally admitting that there is a bias working, and that education is not neutral. Finally! Now, if Christians would only realize this and present a more biased curriculum.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The mad rush to infanticide by the pro-abortion states, seems to indicate that the wicked are getting worse and worse per 1 Timothy 3. But, there is also a polarization going on between states. Some states are becoming more pro-life, while others are becoming more pro-abortion. Is America heading towards civil war or break up? We address the question of when to move from a state to a better state, where the wicked are not so dominant in politics.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
