Prepare your fields, and then afterward, “build thine house.” Young men are not launching much these days, but dads can make a huge difference here.

Cracker Barrel and Virtue Signaling - Is DEI Dead on Arrival?
Cracker Barrel is just the latest company that just can’t seem to keep its list of virtues up to date for its virtue signaling campaigns. But what is this virtue signaling and why are companies getting behind the transgender insanity with such enthusiasm? Why would they risk the health of their companies to keep a small fraction of the transgender community happy? We dig into Chat GPT’s worldview of existentialism, and define insanity biblically.Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17787059-cracker-barrel-and-virtue-signaling-is-dei-dead-on-arrival.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
Should Christians Listen to Secular Music? - What Does the Bible Say About That
The number of people on psychotropic drugs is high nowadays. The world around is in constant need of catharsis, via drugs, music, and entertainment. What is the role of music in a Christian's life? The Bible encourages Christians to admonish each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, but what about secular music? Is it okay for Christians to listen to this kind of music? Even when rejecting the lyrics, can a Christian be overcome by the milieu that surrounds pop and folk culture?Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17778636-should-christians-listen-to-secular-music-what-does-the-bible-say-about-that.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
The Legacy of Dr. James Dobson - A Paradigm of Courage, Sacrifice, and Faith Under Fire
He was hated, maligned, and marginalized. His enemies kicked dirt over his grave. His own people turned on him. He dared to discipline in a permissive society. He dared to defy the zeitgeist, and to take the battle to the devil’s back yard. He fought back against abortion and sexual perversion when everybody knew it would be a losing battle. He spent his wad advocating a highly marginalized homeschool movement, opposing godless public schools, and fighting abortion. He pushed for Christian legal defense organizations in an anti-Christian age. Dr. James Dobson was the man for the day — a quarterback fighting for every inch he could get, when pushed back to his own 5 yard line. He fought for a country through Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas, and Obergefell. He fought to save a civilization. . . a losing battle. He lost the pro-life plank. He lost the pornography battle. He lost the war on sexual perversion. But the point is. . .he fought with courage the whole way. Here is our tribute to Dr. James Dobson (1936-2025).Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17771150-the-legacy-of-dr-james-dobson-a-paradigm-of-courage-sacrifice-and-faith-under-fire.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
The Pill that Took Over the World - 500 Million Kids Dead So Far
This pill can kill without the woman knowing it. This pill can be mailed across state lines. This pill has already killed 500 million kids. . . soon to be 1 billion by 2030. Is this wrongful death or just plain murder? Chief responsibility for this holocaust lies at the feet of 4 people — all atheists and agnostics who turned away from the faith of their fathers.

Disciplining a Child Who Breaks God's Law- Discipleship for Dads
Children are born in sin, but God also calls Christian children holy. Parents have a duty to rebuke and correct, but it needs to be done in love. How can parents discipline their children when they violate God's law and disobey? What are the differences between discipline of a five-year-old and discipline of a rebellious teenager?

Kernels of Truth in a Field of Falsehoods – Christians and Literature
The liberal arts department heads are some of the most liberal people on the college campus. This makes the study of literature, philosophy, and worldview some of the most subversive subjects to study in school, whether this be in K-12 or in college. Parents want their children to be well-rounded, but what does it mean to be well-rounded? Does it mean to study with an arrogance and blindness of heart and mind, or is it to have a proper perception of every aspect of reality, based in God's Word? How can Christians study these sticky topics without falling head-over-heels in love with all the false worldviews presented in literature and media today?Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17746944-kernels-of-truth-in-a-field-of-falsehoods-christians-and-literature.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
Recreation and Play - What Does the Bible Say About That?
What does the Bible say about recreation and play? It's good to enjoy God and the gifts He has given to us. However, where is the balance between work and play? It's important to remember that these gifts will come and go, but God doesn't. We should be thanking God for his good gifts that we get to enjoy, instead of making idols out of them.Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17740604-recreation-and-play-what-does-the-bible-say-about-that.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
No Reversal for a Plummeting Birth Rate? - Humanity’s Most Pressing Problem and Mechanical Wombs
Global population is looking like it will lose 70% with birth rate heading toward 1.8. Is there any correcting this trend? The Muslims and Communists are unable to do it by sheer coercion. The mechanical womb may be the only hope for humanist humanity. But what about Jesus’s people? Will anybody deny themselves and follow Jesus among Christians? Will Christians follow Christ?

The Dangers of Fantasy, Horror in Media - Serial Killers Influenced by Satan and Saved by Grace
Fantasy and horror can be extremely dangerous for children. And, if parents can’t distinguish between the demonic and the godly in fantasy novels, they sign their kids up for some pretty horrible stuff. Serial killers, Richard Ramirez, David Berkowitz, Adolf Constanzo, Sean Sellers, Henry Lee Lucas, and others have admitted to influence from Satanic materials and movies. Satan is real, and playing with this stuff leads to bad things. But the grace of God is greater, as in the case of the salvation of David Berkowitz.

Museum of the Bible and Evolution - Pretending to Be Religiously Neutral
The Museum of the Bible presents an evolutionary construct concerning the development of monotheism in the world. But this is because they are attempting to be non-sectarian and non-evangelical. Is it possible to be religiously neutral, and to present the evidence, without first filtering the evidence through a preconceived worldview?Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17708212-museum-of-the-bible-and-evolution-pretending-to-be-religiously-neutral.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
Oaths, Vows, and the Fear of God – What Does the Bible Say About That?
There is a lack of fear of God in the average Christian's language today. What is it that drives our language? Do we fear God, or is our language filled with taking God's name in vain or using minced oaths? In addition to this discussion on language, Josh and Kevin touch on vows and the importance of keeping vows that are made.Download the episode MP3 here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17702108-oaths-vows-and-the-fear-of-god-what-does-the-bible-say-about-that.mp3
The Battle Over the Soul of Brazil - Ground Zero in the Spiritual War – Worldwide
One nation stands in the gap. One nation is in the target sights of principalities and powers in the spiritual realm and the geo-political realm. One nation represents a growing Christian edge in the world. The battle over the soul of Brazil is playing out over Christian homeschoolers, and we tell the story direct from the front lines.

Women in the Military — The Biblical View - The Most Feminist Army: US and Australia
The two nations with the highest percentage of women in the military are Australia and the US. But, Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan, and the other eastern nations have taken the opposite stance.

Dealing with Conflict in Marriage – Discipleship for Dads
How should conflict in marriage be dealt with? Unity typically increases as marriage progresses, but there will always be some disagreement between husbands and wives. Whether it be over relationships with in-laws, the raising of children, or finances, it's vital that disagreements be addressed with a spirit of love, gratitude, and humility.

Superman 2025 - Woke, Anarchy, Existentialism, and Post-Modern Relativism
Superman is the biggest blockbuster of the summer, and yes, there’s a little wokie-ness throughout. But, the real issue is the worldview tug-of-war between polytheism and raw humanist-existentialism. Kansas dad and Krypton dad are arguing it out, but really, they’re both wrong. Discerning these major motion pictures requires pretty highly-calibrated worldview glasses and an ear for the internal contradictions. But would a 14-year-old kid discern it, or just meld right into it?Download the episode MP3 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17669540-superman-2025-woke-anarchy-existentialism-and-post-modern-relativism.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
Leaving and Cleaving Well - What Does the Bible Say About That?
Normatively, only a very small percentage of people stay single their entire lives. So how do men and women leave and cleave well when it’s time to establish their own households? How do we interact with the ideas of patriarchy, emancipation, and jurisdictions for in-laws, spouses, and grandparents? How do we apply the fifth commandment to honor our parents as we leave and cleave? Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow address this topic on this edition of Generations.

Technology—How Is a Family to Use It? - Redeeming the Time
According to a study done in 2016, the average adult spends 10 hours and 32 minutes on unproductive media per day, and it’s only increasing. The effects of this poor handling of technology are evident everywhere. Human relationships in families, churches, and communities are increasingly shallow, short-lived, broken, or non-existent today. There is no time for worshipping God. Modern technology is taking dominion over man, despite God’s call for man to take dominion and redeem the time. Yet, we know there is also a proper use of technology. So what are the solutions to the problems of tech, and what is the right use of the tool? How is a family to use it wisely? Chris Kasper from wisephone.com joins us on this edition of the program to discuss these and other questions.

A New Axis Is Forming - Geo-political Earth Shiftings
A new Axis is forming for the first time since the cold war, or really, since the 1940s. Iran, China, India, Russia, and North Korea are collecting forces. They equal the US economy now, and all of them have nukes (almost). Tensions are growing, and alliances are developing stronger every day. But what do Proverbs 22:7 and 14:28 have to do with it? Will the West lose this one? That depends on whether God’s wisdom is still relevant.Download the episode MP3 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/17650828-a-new-axis-is-forming-geo-political-earth-shiftings.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
Cultivating a Love For the Church – Discipleship for Dads
A huge percentage of Christian children are leaving the church. There is no greater joy than to see one's children walking in the truth. However, a big part of flourishing spiritually has to do with cultivating a love for the body of Christ. How can fathers encourage their children in this way? A dad's priorities often become his children's priorities. Does the church play an important role in your life, or is it just a club you go to on Sundays?Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250808.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

What are the best and worst states in America? What are the best and worst nations in the world, as measured by the most critical metrics? Florida tops the list on the religious liberty index. West Virginia is the worst. But on all indexes, Tennessee, Idaho, and Texas top the list. But what about the nations in the world? How did Mexico, India, North Korea, Greenland, and Russia turn up as some of the worst nations in the world? The list of the best nations on the international morality index will surprise you.

Women Leading in the Church – What Does the Bible Say About That?
Kevin and Josh discuss the controversial topic of what a woman's role should be in the church.

Immigration, Welfare, and the Ruin of Nations - “They Send Us Their Worst”
Will we save a nation by closing borders? What in the world could possibly salvage a post-Christian Europe—where church attendance scrapes 2 percent? Half of London’s church attendees are immigrants. So how will closing the borders save the nation? Shall we surrender the culture to atheists or Muslims? Tough call. While the Scripture is strong on providing opportunities for “strangers” to engage in trade and be treated favorably under the law, the civil magistrate has a responsibility to defend the nation from criminals entering the borders. But the ultimate solutions are not so much found at the borders as much as in cleaning up our own backyard.Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250804.mp3New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
Servant Leadership — Discipleship for Dads

Righteousness Exalts a Nation - When Nations Obey God’s Laws
The civil government is given a responsibility by God, but hasn’t followed through on it well since the 1920s. Genesis 9:6 and Romans 13:4 are clear. The trend was set in the wrong direction in 1846, largely due to the influence of one, John O’Sullivan. His worldview was dead wrong. We touch on the gradation of priorities set before the civil magistrate by God, according to the standards of biblical law. Which national governments are doing better than others?

What is a woman to do when she finds herself with an unbelieving husband or a husband that simply just isn't engaged in the spiritual life of the home?

Antisemitism, the Gentile Apostasy, and the Nation of Israel - A Biblically Balanced Response - What Does the Bible Say About That?
Should America or Christians in general be actively seeking to defend the nation of Israel? What is to be said for the Seed of Abraham inheriting the world? The rising tide of antisemitism and wars in the Middle East bring the question of the nation of Israel to the forefront in the minds of many Christians. We ask the question, “What does the Bible say about that?” But our real task here is to train us all how to handle the trunk and the leaves, the quarrelsome and the questionable, the divisive and the controversial, the camels and gnats in theology.

The Last of the Lions Passed to Glory - Life and Times of John MacArthur
We reminisce on the life and times of John MacArthur—which makes up about 1/20th of the history of the Christian church. These were days of scandal, of growth, of apostasy, of lions in the pulpit and Christian media. Pastor John was the last of the lions He wasn’t afraid of controversy—a stalwart, always steadfast in his attempt to remain biblical on every issue.

The American Legacy – A Country Built by Persecuted Christians
The 250-year anniversary for the founding of the United States of America is coming up. In the meantime, America's freedom index is dropping as it becomes less free. The US is a unique country, in that it was established by persecuted Christians seeking refuge, and even though the freedom it offers is dropping, it still remains the most God-blessed nation in the world. It is the most generous and most powerful nation, and still has a strong Christian influence at work in the 21st century.

Telehealth — Assassins Crossing Borders - Let the States Decide the Slavery Question?
Telehealth abortions have now exceeded 25 percent of total abortions in the country—many of these are crossing over into pro-life states. We draw in some lessons from American history on this segment. Shall we let the states decide on abortion . . . and let the pro-abortion states send assassins into pro-life states and kill the babies? Or, should America have let the states decide the slavery question . . . and then allowed slave traders from pro-slavery states to kidnap slaves from anti-slavery states? It’s doubtful the administration has the will to do anything about it at this point.

Diet and Fitness — What Does the Bible Say About That?
The Scriptures have quite a bit to say about eating and fitness. There are wrong ways to handle food and fitness in a wealthy age such as ours, with the tendency to be towards sinful excesses. There’s ditches everywhere: ditches of sensuality, ditches of gluttony, ditches of focusing so much on physical health that it becomes the essence of life. . . . So where is the balance? What is the purpose of eating? Of exercise? How do we do these things to the glory of God? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow dig into these questions on this edition of the program.

How to Lead Your Family - Being Prophets, Priests, and Kings in Our Homes
One of the biggest crying needs of the day is a faith continuity from one generation to the next. There’s nothing more important than seeing the hearts of fathers turning to the children, and the hearts of children turning to the fathers. This is prayer burden—asking for the Spirit to work through our families and churches, and to bring repentance. One way this happens is when men embrace their God-given responsibilities and callings on their lives as husbands and fathers, conscientiously and intentionally shepherding their wives and children. On this edition of the program, Kevin Swanson and Joel Beeke discuss Joel’s new book, How to Lead Your Family: A Guide to Men Wanting to Be More, on practical ways men can be prophets, priests, and kings within their homes.

Keynesian Economics, Socialism, and the Minimum Wage - Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others
The US Government is buying back its own bonds. Scott Bessent is following in the footsteps of John Maynard Keynes. Senator Josh Hawley is pushing for raising the minimum wage. But while the government redistributes the wealth (largely from the middle class to the lower class), wealth disparity is increasing because Federal Reserve policies will always favor the rich. The shell game is impossible for the average person to follow. But suffice it to say, some animals turn out to be more equal than others. But why not just trust God, and run the economy by biblical principles and honest money?

How to Deal with Difficult Situations in the Workplace - Discipleship for Dads
How do you get along well with managers who are hard to work with? How do you approach the difficult coworker—those who don’t get along well in the sandbox? What happens when we’re falsely accused? What are the Biblical principles that apply to the workplace (or any other relationship in our lives)? On this edition of Disciple for Dads, Kevin, Bill, and Todd dive into these issues and bring 1 Peter 2 and other passages to bear.

This Cultural Form Was Bigger Than the Beatles - The Greatest Music Revolution
How did this happen? The most dominant cultural form turned out to be the most depraved ever produced in this country or anywhere else. Researchers have discovered that the hip-hop cultural form outpaced the Beatles in its pervasive and omnipresent influence upon American culture. Their study looked at differences in chords, rhythms, and tonal properties over 50 years of top chart hits. This brings up the more important question: how does one “redeem” cultural forms including the middle finger, hip-hop, the Nazi swastika, and the playboy bunny?

Should You Go to That Wedding? - What Does the Bible Say About That
The Word of God is relevant to every area of life. What does it say about attending weddings that involve illegitimate divorce or a homosexual relationship? Should we approve of sin, compromising our relationship with Jesus Christ for other relationships, including family relationships? Ultimately, our love for Jesus will be tested by our desire to either please God or to please other people.

Marginalized by the Crowd - Virgin at 40 - Swimming Against the Tide
It’s sort of hard to be in the 1 percent . . . of people who hold to a biblical worldview . . . or the 3 percent of young people who are virgins at 27. Adam talks about his experience as "the 40-year-old virgin." Also, we look at the problem of religious nominalism. With 69 percent of Americans calling themselves Christians, why are only a small percentage regularly attending church on Sunday?

Billionaires Having 100 Children - Examining the Libertarian Worldview
Modern billionaires are expanding their sultan-realms to include a hundred children plus. Will billionaires Elon Musk or Pavel Durov save humanity by sperm donation, based on an evolutionary view of the world? We address sperm donation from a biblical perspective—so far, impacting at least 600,000 babies and counting. Then, we dig down into the libertarian worldview that underlies the thinking of these billionaires. Are these worldviews seeping into the Christian mind today?
