The Generations Radio Program

It was the 1920s in Germany. Homosexuality was on the rise. Immorality and decadence defined Berlin. The church was reduced to liberalism and pietism. The country was torn by economic stress. The time was right for Adolf Hitler, the great 'savior' of the people. Does any of this sound familiar? Kevin Swanson interviews Erwin Lutzer, author of a new book entitled 'When a Nation Forgets God.' There are some differences between Nazi Germany in 1932 and America in 2012. There are still a few churches here that preach the full-orbed implications of God's Word to culture and politics. And there are parents who still are willing to fight for their God-given responsibilities to oversee their children's education!New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There is a danger lurking when American pentecostals or baptists or anybody denies God’s sovereignty. Although people may call themselves Christians, what happens when it turns out they are worshiping the wrong god? When Benny Hinn’s nephew and assistant learns about the sovereignty of God, everything changes. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Certain songs have been outrageously popular because they have broken through social mores and sexual barriers — and “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is in that category. Is this woman more concerned about what her neighbors would think or what God would think, if she spends the night with this guy? Are the Me Too people more concerned about a sin against God, or a sin against somebody else? We also take a look at a few other radical trend setting songs like “Let It Go” from Frozen and Kris Kristoferssen’s “Help Me Make It though the Night.” Here are some questions Christians need to ask about the music they listen to? The most important question to ask, of course, is. . .Does this music give us a sense of the fear of God?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Every pastor in America should hear this program! They came for the Mennonites, and I did not speak out. They came for a Fundamentalist Baptist who read from Proverbs 13:24, and I did not speak out. . . Although very few Christian ministries or news programs would cover this, there are real instances where Christians are going to prison in America. A pastor teaches from Proverbs 13:24, and gets two years in prison — and the case is refused by the U.S. Supreme Court. Mennonite Pastors in Vermont are serving time for their opposition to homosexuality, and aid given to a woman repenting of the sin. Will anybody speak out? Is your pastor next? True stories of real persecution going on right now in the United States on this edition of the program. You can encourage a Christian in prison in the United States at this address: Philip Zodhiates 18649-084 FCI Ashland Federal Correctional Institution P.O.

When it comes to an important step in the right direction, the Republican leadership in the Supreme Court and the White House will go the wrong direction — you can count on it. It was our last chance to defund Planned Parenthood for the foreseeable future, and again, the Republicans failed. Justice Brett Kavanaugh promised he would not reverse Roe v. Wade, and he is keeping his promise. Pro-abort Susan Collins feels "vindicated" for supporting Kavanaugh. Why did we expect anything different? The whole body is sick, from head to toe. Integrity is gone in Washington, but what if. . . the president of the United States repented?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

God grows our faith and our love through trials. In fact, these become some of the best opportunities in which to manifest love. When a major trial like cancer hits, immediately God provides a wonderful field in which love may begin to function in the family and the church. Marisa Henley, a survivor of a rare form of cancer, explains how to love your friend through cancer, based on her recent book. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The evangelical crisis is showing itself in the American evangelical college - and Azusa Pacificis the battleground. Two board members have resigned pointing to a faith retrograde at the college. And, what is the most dangerous department in the Christian College? It is always the Theology Department, of course. The major attack however is centered around feminism, social justice, and sexual ethics. But why? Is the CCCU turning into the “Craven & Crawling Colleges and Universities?” Is the compromise with Sodom a fatal synthesis? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Stephen Colbert, host of the “Late Show” claims to be a Christian having received a Gideon’s New Testament on one cold Chicago day. What part does preaching and the local church have in the conversion of people? Is handing out Bibles enough, or does Jesus expect discipleship and church involvement with His people? We also discuss the dangers of listening to online sermons to the neglect of the local church. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Lauren Daigel is the most famous Christian in America today. She’s the first major crossover Christian female singer since Amy Grant, and her latest album hit #3 on Billboard’s 300. For her moment of truth, when she was questioned on the watershed idolatrous issue of the day. . .she blinked, she faltered, she tripped, and fell. We talk about how Jesus failed the popularity contest and the trap of fame. Here are the basics on “How to Ruin Your Career if You Are a Big Star.” We also contrast the two responses given on the zeitgeist question -- Pastor John MacArthur vs. Lauren Daigel.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

President George H.W. Bush has died, and his last words were. . . Heaven. . ."That is where I want to go.” President George H.W. Bush left a legacy of Planned Parenthood Title X funding, and support for homosexual marriage. He increased funding for Planned Parenthood and Title X funding during his presidency after President Reagan decreased it. Then, he moved towards supporting homosexual marriage in 2013, serving as an official signatory for two lesbians in Maine. Repentance doesn’t look like this. Do you want to go to heaven? What are the requisites? We discuss faith and repentance, and a "living hope" for heaven -- a message for all of us on this edition of the program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Can a Christian fall into a marital affair, and is there a possibility for redemption and reconciliation? Kevin Swanson speaks with Michael Gembola, Director of Blue Ridge Counseling Center and author of the new book “After an Affair — Pursuing Restoration.” What does true repentance and real restoration look like when the building has burned down, and the construction has to begin anew?

“Love me tender. Love me true. Make all my dreams come true.” What happens to young kids who are absorbed in romantic love and the popular media that promotes a self-oriented romanticism? Worldviews matter when it comes to the music our children listen to, and so much of the music is tied into a self-orientation. The Greatest Love of All is not self-love, but a love for God. We study the worldviews of big music hits on this edition of the program. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Your nephew wants to come over for Christmas dinner. . . only trouble is, he wants to come dressed up as a girl. An uncle wants to sleep over with his girlfriend or boyfriend in your house. . . but that’s okay because he just brought 20 gifts for the kids, and he’s quickly becoming their favorite uncle. How do Christians interact with the world without rendering approval for the sinful behavior going on? Christians give a pat answer, “You just gotta love everybody.” But, what does this mean? The more difficult question is: “How do you love them?” New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The world explodes over cultural appropriations and misappropriations. Actor and comedian, Kevin Hart is in trouble when he threw a Cowboys and Indians party for his son. Should our boys be playing Cowboys and Indians these days? Do we as Christians get fixated on cultural expressions, as the world does? What cultural expressions might we use from pagan cultures, and which ones might we avoid? How might we help our sons to understand good and evil, and the good guys and the bad guys in their play battles? Play battles can be a great way to teach, but what do we teach our kids?

Harry Potter is the biggest pop-cultural phenomenon in the post-Christian zeitgeist today. The tenth movie in the franchise raked in $400 million last week at the box office. After reading the eighteenth encouragement from Christian reformed/classical/literary enthusiasts to embrace Harry Potter, Kevin Swanson finally reads the book and watches a Harry Potter film. Shall we encourage our eight-year-olds into this fantasy genre? Or would this sign us up for the Matthew 18:6 treatment? Here is a careful analysis of the Harry Potter worldview in this parallel universe of autonomy.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The political situation surrounding feminism, social justice, and the zeitgeist is bowling over evangelicalism and threatens to split the Southern Baptist Convention in half. Christians are terribly confused about the Marxist standard of justice (social justice) and a biblical standard of justice. Must Christians support government welfare programs and the redistribution of the wealth? What is justice, biblically defined?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Christian thinker, Francis Schaeffer presciently described "The Great Evangelical Disaster" in 1984 before he died. Evangelicalism shrinks back from confrontation because evangelicals have found a single ethic and they tenaciously hold to it - T.O.L.E.R.A.N.C.E. The problem is not just the refusal to confrontation, but it's a basic, basic flaw in the worldview. As it now represents the new flagship for evangelicalism, we laser in on Hillsong - its roots and its sovereignty-of-man worldview. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Short term missions trip are en vogue for American churches looking for something to do for their teens (and hoping they might just get saved on the trip). But, now a new campaign is trying to stop these “harmful” missions trips to orphanages especially. What’s the first requirement for missions, before anybody even thinks about going on a missions trip? We lay down the most essential pre-requisite. And, also we offer general principles for charitable giving for missions and international needs. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Star Wars franchise is the second highest grossing movie franchise in American history, with "The Force Awakens" the highest grossing movie of all the franchises in history, with almost $1 billion in box office receipts. Kevin Swanson examines the worldview behind this top grossing movie -- Star Wars: The Force Awakens. As the director and movie stars preach to the masses, Kevin Swanson takes careful note of the anthropology, political theory, social theory, witchcraft, and metaphysical worldview perspective that make up the world of Star Wars.

We review the history of Thanksgiving from 1621, and the official Thanksgiving holidays in the 13 colonies. Then we take a look at the first national Thanksgiving proclamation issued by President George Washington. Finally, we counter the politically correct view of the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. Was it a blessing that Christianity broke into the pagan world of North America controlled by Satan? What impact did Jesus make on this continent?

Have you read the second most important book for Christians to your children? Of course, you have read the Bible to your children. But, what about Pilgrim’s Progress? The book is impacting, powerful, and transcends culture. Now, for the first time in history, the book is being released in a major motion picture. Kevin Swanson interviews the producer, Steve Cleary, on this exciting new film production to be released in a few months. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Are the Baptists loosening their standards concerning alcohol (especially with their colleges and seminaries)? We review the history of alcohol and the Baptists since the 1830's. It can be hard to believe that segments of the American church have held the wrong standard and definitions of godliness for over a hundred years, but all of us tend towards external, manmade conceptions of godliness. What is true and substantial godliness? Huge questions to consider on this edition of Generations.

The year 2018 in television is being labelled the “Year of the Witch.” Thirteen year old girls are being indoctrinated in cannibalism, blood sacrifice, and selling souls to Satan — and this is presented as an admirable and wonderful thing. It’s time to wake up and smell the napalm in the War of the Worldviews. This sure ain’t “Family Ties” and “I Love Lucy” anymore. We discuss the strong connections between witchcraft and feminism as presented by the Satan character in “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” We encourage that your children come out of the darkness of this dying and darkening culture into the light of resurrection and Christ. Indeed, Jesus came to bring life. We recommend they read about “Taking the World for Jesus” and watch films like “Mully” or “Dispatches from the Front” or “Polycarp” or “Modern Parables” offered by Generations this Christmas season.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here is a story of the nanny state in Kansas City squelching private charities who are trying to reach out to the homeless. Then, there is the beastly state in Scotland mandating indoctrination in sexual perversion for all kids, including those in Catholic schools. Why must the Catholic schools comply to this? That is our question. Christians should never worship the state, or offer sacrifices to Caesar or Moloch, for that matter. Are these the end times, and are Christians going to submit themselves to the "all-powerful" state?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

When godless men lead, they will take God’s Name in vain in a very public manner. Although there are many other things wrong with them, this is what gets them in trouble more than anything else. The basic problem with America is that Americans take God’s Name in vain, and they do not fear God. Is it really that simple? David French warns of the post-religious right as well as the post-religious left. The pride, the anger, the vitriol just gets worse and worse with godless men. We are in trouble for this very reason.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

What happens when a nation loses the will to carry on its civilization? Nations used to be wiped out by raiding armies. That's not the way it works anymore. Now they just rot from the inside. Almost every major leader of every major nation in Europe is childless. What does this mean for the future of Europe? How do childless leaders develop policy that might benefit future generations? They won’t. That’s the simple answer. It is over for Europe. But what about America? How would you prepare for the future of nations on a suicidal bent?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The pornography scourge is now affecting both men and women, causing untold damage to marriages and family. We discuss with Deepak Reju why so many secular approaches to the problem never offer a permanent solution. How does Jesus’s “program” result in a steady crushing of the sinful habits and a wonderful freedom? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The major socialist voting block in America during this last election was the gender gap. Polls are saying that women are preferring socialist and liberal candidates by a ratio of 62% to 35%. The gender gap (of females to males voting Democrat) has increased from 8% in 1980 to 11% in 2012 to 14% in the 2018 elections (according to the most recent SSRS poll). Why are unmarried and educated women increasingly turning socialist and seeking more dependence on the government and independence from marriage? The destruction of marriage and family will result in a great deal more socialism, big government, and communism. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The 2018 elections produced more socialists, more homosexual leaders, more Muslim leaders, and more women leaders in Congress. The big take away — the nation is more divided than anytime since the Civil War. Red states are redder and blue states are bluer. This nation cannot stand, if this continues. Is this the end of America? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

He was called the most brilliant scientist in the world - "Science’s Brightest Star." How could a brilliant man reduce himself to the depths of irrationality. . . so much so that he would say, "I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing." Could it be that Stephen Hawking was a fool? What does this say about the field of pop science and the popular perception of knowledge and wisdom in a post-Christian world?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Orwell’s Big Brother has finally made it into our homes, but he turned out to be far more intrusive than George ever thought him to be. Google and Facebook have massive control over a larger percentage of American citizens who have voluntarily turned over their privacy to these powerful companies. In the wrong hands, this information could devastating. Oh wait. The information is already in the wrong hands! We review the new film, The Creepy Line on the edition of the program.

The Democrat’s #1 Agenda Item in the 2018 elections, according to Rep. Pelosi is to persecute Christians via the “Equality Act.” Some forecasters are suggesting Christian Colleges are going to be hit the hardest, since they do receive Title IX funding. How will Christian colleges survive, given the economic troubles they are already facing and the pressure to compromise on the LGBT issue? Will they turn down federal funding and federal grants for their students? It’s time to batten down the hatches, and prepare for persecution. They will persecute true Christians because they stand for the Gospel, and they won’t equivocate on one little word. . .”sin.” New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Why are the poor and the uneducated voting Republican, while the Democrats are getting the votes from the rich and the educated. Are Republicans less intelligent than Democrats? Is that the message? Or is education and intelligence a poor correlation in a day of politically correct, anti-Christian education. The rural vote still goes Republican and the big city vote goes Democrat. The Democrats get the minority vote by a significant margin, but Christians need to disciple the nations that are rushing into America. After all, this is our commission from our Lord. Sadly, the conservative vote doesn’t really care about principle. They’re just trying to keep the “pesky” Central Americans out of the country. But, that’s losing battle, given that the birth rate in Central America is 2-3 times higher than this country’s birth rate. In the end, the Margaret Sanger worldview will lose.

Politics is the art of deception and fakery. Kevin Swanson exhorts everybody to deal in the truth when it comes to the “Trump revolution.” President Trump has proven himself to be the biggest big government president of late. He is the biggest deficit president and signed another $500 million for Planned Parenthood earlier this year. But, that’s not the real problem with the nation. The real problem is Christians who refuse to reform education and the homeschooling movement that has turned secular in the last 15 years.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Chinese scientists have developed mice with two moms . . no dad. The obvious intention behind such research among some is to take that into human reproduction. What sort of answers might Christians give to such craziness? A brave new world that has purged almost every vestige of the fear of God out of the universities is something very new for the West. Will the results be utter catastrophes — Frankenstein let loose on the whole world? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

After massive increases in education spending, ACT scores are still dropping. Modern humanist has nurtured a faith in the state and its institutions. But, all of that is starting to collapse. America is more ignorant than ever, and America is more divided than ever. The handwriting is on the wall for this nation divided against itself.

When the righteous fall down before the wicked, we get a tainted spring (according to the Book of Proverbs). And that’s what we get with the Republican Congress rushing out to implement Hillary Clinton’s feminist policy for US AID. We’re also impressed with the Methodists in Communist Cuba. How is it that they are willing to fight that which opposes God’s laws, but American Methodists won’t? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The major media did not want this movie to be seen — by anybody. There was too much truth to it, and the truth is horrifying. America does not want to face this. Nobody wants to face the question: Could we be this evil? Kevin Swanson reviews the film Gosnell - The Trial of America’s Worst Serial Killer. There’s only one conclusion to draw — there is no difference between the psychopathy of serial killers and that of abortionists.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

How do families surrender their freedoms to the government? How do they walk the primrose path towards surrendering control of healthcare decisions and education to the state? Inevitably, the surrender happens when they seek government funding and welfare. Increasingly, governments are paying for healthcare and they will call the shots on your healthcare decisions. Canada’s governments are funding Christian school and homeschool education, and now they want to enforce transgender and homosexuality education on these Christian homes. Is freedom a lost cause now, or are there families still interested in salvaging freedoms in the 21st century?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The percentage of millennial evangelicals believing the Bible is NOT literally true is rising quickly from 44% in 2014 to 53% in 2018. Now, 51% of millennial evangelicals are pro-homosexual (up from 44% in 2014). But, 53% of evangelicals believe people are “basically good by nature.” The underlying assumption in the minds of most Americans is captured in the question, "Why would God throw a nice guy like me into hell?” That’s pretty much what the Pharisee thought. The Publican in the parable thought otherwise.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Males spend more money on shoes now than females. It's body worship for males. It's the homosexualized, self-objectifying, image-conscious, totally 'tarty' world of the spornosexual. . . and it is feeding the fitness industry big time. Even professing Christian males are more and more taken by this display of the body with a generous use of spandex, compression leggings, and other accouterments. They call the body 'their temple.' What does God say to this increasingly self-objectifying, homosexualized world?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Harvard University Students announce the first Satanic worship service. Will they include human sacrifice?

The time has come. . . to get out of the gender blender, admit complete failure of our present social milieu and knock down the pillars of feminism once and for all. Here is an argument for robust, faith-filled, courageous biblical womanhood from two young women who live what they talk. Bethany Baird and Kristen Clark are sisters and they've written a book called "Girl Defined." Why are models the most insecure people in the world, and how in the world did Marilyn Monroe become the dream girl for every other girl in America? This fast-paced, thoughtful, intense, upbeat, faith-filled interview with Bethany and Kristen will realign your perspectives to a better biblical balance.

A new study on women clergy in America has found that the prevalence of women clergy has gone exponential in the last 30 years. And. . . the more that churches liberalize and wander from the historic Christian faith, the higher the percentage is of women clergy in those churches. It’s a perfect correlation. Why does the increase in women’s involvement in the pastorate mean a more liberal and apostate ministry? Our hearts are crying out for a revival of faith, especially for men — where faith is languishing badly now. Where are the faith filled men today? Here is a cry for aliveness and a revisitation of the Holy Spirit of God into men, fathers, and husbands! Would you join in with this cry for revival?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The artificial insemination rage has created hundreds of thousands of orphans and an ethical nightmare for a brave new world. Some donors have sired hundreds of children who become orphans and often fatherless. Homosexuals and single women constitute 80% of the market and the rest are inseminated in married women. We grapple with the question of whether this would constitute adultery. Western countries have become the most dysfunctional when it comes to family life, but could there still be an entrance for the gospel?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Online pornography use has doubled over the last four years and quadrupled over the last eight years. We draw connections between contraception, pornography, and homosexuality, which is all a means of encouraging more sexuality without procreation.

The old earth and young earth creation controversy usually reduces to a discussion on starlight and time. If the young earth creationists do not have an adequate answer for the question of starlight and time, will that undermine the young-earth apologetic? And what is an adequate answer?

The whole world seems to be burning up with perverted passions, debt, drug addiction, and increased rates of insanity. The changes are coming faster and faster. The world is thinking some kind of apocalypse is right around the corner. But, how should Christians think about this? Is God’s judgment on the nations imminent now? We compare some of the eschatological theories about the return of Christ and the coming of the final judgment on this edition of Generations.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Barna Research’s recent numbers find that only four percent of millennials now hold to a biblical worldview, and that’s roughly the percentage of those who were homeschooled. Another survey from Pew finds about half of evangelicals hold to new age beliefs. Could it be a result of 15 years of twenty minute self-help sermons?

Can the drug problem be fixed by regulation or deregulation or education? If it is a worldview problem, then how would you fix that? Nations are finally giving up, and they are deregulating suicide and drug use. America is ahead of the curve on this, with 9 states legalizing pot and some 31 states allowing medical use of it. We take a look at a biblical view of the legalization of drugs, and the use of strong drink.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
