The Generations Radio Program

Secular education has taken over the entire western world, and now we are exporting this humanism to Africa in an effort to destroy the faith. Other nations still have some opportunity for salvage. We discuss the difference between secular education and a distinctively Christian education at every point. Kevin Swanson discusses the recent experiences presenting homeschooling and Christian education to various nations in Africa.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Planned Parenthood is the most powerful abortion provider and abortion lobby in the world. A billion dollar organization, about 1/3 of its income comes from our tax dollars. But one little homeschooled girl found five smooth stones down at the brook, and tossed one at the giant, just to see what would happen. Lila Rose is part of a team of young pro-lifers who have found a way to strip the facade off of the Planned Parenthood organization to show its true colors, and its support for eugenicist practices and other illegal perversions. In one of the most important battles of our day, these pro-lifers demonstrate dogged persistence, strong convictions, and true courage. Every now and then you find some kid who picks up a stone saying, "I wonder what would happen if I. . ."New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Ever since the Boy Scouts betrayed their founding values and welcomed homosexual scouts and scoutmasters, then transgenders, and now girls, a relatively new Christian alternative has gained steam called Trail Life. Since 2013, this new, boys-only organization with Biblical values has nearly 30,000 members in 750 troops in 48 states. Listen to guest host Adam McManus interview Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Being able to share your faith with others is an incredible blessing. Not only that, but as we start to grow older, we begin to see God working in our children's lives as they seek to witness and build God's Kingdom. Tune in to this edition of Generations Radio to hear Kevin and Emeal Zwayne talk about spreading the good news and our role in The Great Commission.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Former Supreme Court Justice, John Paul Stevens, has encouraged the repealing of the second amendment. Why should it not matter if the second amendment is repealed? According to an article by Benjamin Dierker, the constitution may not actually give the rights to bear arms. Tune into this edition of Generations Radio to find out how Bill Jack and Steve Vaughan interact with this issue.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Bill Jack and Steve Vaughan discuss Worldview Academy and Bill's recent trip to Metro State University to engage students with tough questions, as well as the excellent opportunities that Worldview Academy's students have to share their faith on college campuses all across the U.S. To sign up for Worldview Academy, go to worldview.org.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There are many bad decisions that can take place when fools get together. Steve and Bill discuss the dangerous trends that have surfaced among young people. Social media and peer pressure have started to influence bad behavior. This is the reason why Christian love and discipleship in a young person's life can be so important.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

As Christians, we should be letting our light shine among men. In this edition of the Generations Radio program, Steve Vaughan and Bill Jack fill in for Kevin as they discuss the incredible opportunities that have been presented to Christian debate teams. Whether it's in the U.S. or halfway across the world, God is using debate as an outlet to share the Gospel message with unbelievers.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

He’s probably held up as the most evil monster America has ever produced. But have you heard the rest of the story? You’ve heard about the first 34 years of Jeffrey Dahmer’s life, but have you heard about the last 6 months? How did materialistic evolution play an important role in his depravity? The media will never tell you this. Kevin Swanson interviews Roy Ratcliff, the man who discipled Jeffrey Dahmer for the last year of his life before he was killed by a fellow inmate in a Wisconsin prison.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

This can be a quarrelsome, minor issue. . .or it may be an vitally important issue. Would you use the Jehovah Witness Bible, for example? What about the KJV-only position? Are translators inspired men, or are they Holy Spirit assisted men? Do they make mistakes? What if the language has not been well adapted to receive the Greek and Hebrew meaning? These are not easy questions, and it takes a bit more wisdom and grace to discuss these thing than we are able to bring to the table, at times.

Churches in Europe and America are reporting that demon possession is on the rise. Interesting. . . A nation in apostasy seems to court demonic presence. The Roman Catholics and Protestant organizations are training exorcists. For $3,000 you can be qualified as an exorcist. But, could this be the “Sons of Sceva” training institute? We analyze an exorcism video taped and available on a protestant exorcism ministry website. And, we discuss biblical principles relating to demon possession and exorcism.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, a pro-life Republican, signed the Heartbeat Bill into law on Friday. If a heartbeat is detected, the baby in the womb is protected. Guest host Adam McManus interviews Janet Porter, founder of Faith 2 Action, who urges pro-life Christians to support the federal Heartbeat Bill (H.R. 490) by sending a fax to 476 Washington, D.C. and district offices with the click of a button through her website www.Faith2Action.org. Plus, Porter discusses the first American flag which preceded the Stars and Stripes. It featured the words “An Appeal to Heaven” which President George Washington commissioned to fly on our Navy ships during the American Revolution. One of those ships captured an English ship with the ammunition aboard we needed to win the war. Once again, we need to make “an appeal to Heaven” to stop abortion and help overturn Roe v. Wade.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Modern man has pretty much abandoned relationship and followed in the way of Cain, way, way east of Eden. A recent UCLA study found American Generation Z’ers are the loneliest of all. They have been institutionalized, and sent away into the wasteland of the electronic universe. But, the real problem is the man is still running away from God. We discuss how Christians might provide hospitality centers in the city of anonymity, oases of relationship and love where man has destroyed it.

It’s the most popular move in the world. It’s the blockbuster of all blockbusters, raking in almost $1 billion worldwide in one week. So what’s the worldview? Based on the movie dialogue, we identify the worldviews of polytheism, pantheism, and witchcraft with the source of power sourced inside the universe. A shift of worldview is also seen in the top four box office blockbusters of the 2010s vs. the 1950s and 1960s. The world is falling for fantasy and complete escape into a parallel pretend universe.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Only 0.13 % of Americans seem to believe Psalm 5:5 and Romans 9:13, but the real question is this. . . Does God control everything? Is God sovereign over everything including your salvation? We compare the Humanist Manifesto’s view of man’s sovereignty with a biblical worldview perspective that holds to God’s absolute sovereignty. Then, what are we to say about modern “orgasmic” worship where Dionysius is let loose in an evangelical praise and worship service? What is true biblical emotion and how does it play into worship? Is the solution going to be liturgical worship, or the psalms, or preaching? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Democrats are moving further left as they prepare to sweep Washington in the 2018 and 2020 elections. However, it’s hard to believe that the Democrats could be more socialist than the Republicans. Beyond any doubt, historians would identify the most socialist and Marxist presidents in American history as Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sadly, these are the great heroes of many Christians. How did we get such a skewed view of history? We set the record straight on this edition of the program.

About 56 newspapers have gone out of business or merged in the last 12 years. America is less and less trusting of the media. But, the real story is the radical polarities developing in the nation. The Gallup polls found that 72% of Democrats trusted the media in 2017, and only 14% of Republicans trusted the media — almost a 60% spread. Twenty years earlier, the same polling organization found that 52% of Republicans were trusting the media, and 60% of Democrats registered trust. That’s a 7-fold increase in the political divide. Are newspapers necessary? Is a free press important to Christians? Why does darkness want to squelch all light and all truth? We argue for the value of a free press, and the use of news for Christians who wish to expose the unfruitful works of darkness.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Now an international news phenomenon, Baby Alfie presents another case of pro-death, draconian socialist medical systems grabbing away parental rights. The more fundamental issue that nobody really wants to talk about is — why do parents insist on surrendering the responsibility for medical care to the state? Socialist medicine will naturally undermine parental rights. Tom and Kate already surrendered decision-making to the state when they signed up for socialist medicine. Now, California families who check their kids into public schools in Orange County must subject their children to the Sodomy 101 classes too. The battle for parental rights is real, but parents are going to have to make the call before they sign up for socialist education and socialist medicine.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The pro-death culture is dominating medicine today, more than ever before. Now, the enemy is going after midwifery in England and America. Regulations are cranking up for midwifery in America, and Montana has cleared the way for midwives to kill babies. Families are going to have to fight harder than ever for life. What is the root problem? The medical establishment and medical training are too sensitive to cost, and they will pressure families to kill. 90% of children with Down Syndrome are already killed when parents are pressured to pre-screening tests. How can Christians who still have faith stand against this? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The morality of a nation is compromised first in the universities and in the grass roots. Then, immorality spreads into the leadership of a collapsing nation. The former FBI Director, James Comey has gone after the president of the United States, with something of an interest in morality. Comey calls the president “morally unfit” for office. His ideological roots are found in Reinhold Niebuhr, a liberal theologian who ruled a bit of the roost from the 1940s and 1950s. It is a theology of political pragmatism only superficially interested in morality, and definitely not interested in God’s law. Niebuhr is the theologian behind Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, and James Comey. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Christian schools in Australia are showing movies containing full frontal nudity for the benefit of the high school kids. Then, the Christian teachers feel bound to teach the same filth, the same literature filled with bad language and sexually explicit stuff to the kids. . . because its “Good Literature” according to the Emperor’s New Clothesmakers Propaganda guys. It's government regulation on schools receiving monies from the state. Too many Christian Schools and Home Schools are resurrecting the classic filth and warming up the same garbage taught in the public schools for their kids. Even public school parents in America are upset over the incessant teachings on rape, molestation, etc. etc. in the literature ground out by the nihilist academics of the day. Welcome to the war of the worldviews, as we fight for the hearts and minds of our kids on this program. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Ron Paul is a Christian, a Republican, Pro-Life, and Presbyterian. And, so is Mike Pompeo. President Trump’s nomination for Secretary of State! So why is Ron Paul opposing Mike Pompeo? Two worldviews are clashing here and they are both Christian. What gives? The matter surrounds war-hawkishness. Must conservatives and Christians necessarily embracing war-hawkishness? And, is this a big deal that should separate chief friends here? Kevin Swanson brings in the more basic issues that we need to be talking about, when it comes to these political issues.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Four generations of the George H.W. Bush / Prescott Bush family supported Planned Parenthood, Title X Funding, and the Abortion Nightmare in America. Barbara Bush was typically more supportive of abortion than was her husband who is the major sponsor of Title X abortion and abortifacient funding as early as the 1970s. With the passing of Barbara Bush, this would be a good time for the nation’s religious leaders to call the Bush family to come to repentance, and to seek God’s mercy and forgiveness for their sins. Although many news sources announced that Barbara Bush went to heaven, but we are not in the place to make that call. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Too many millennial boy-girl relationships and millennial marriages are not ending with “They lived happily ever after.” What is the problem with the romance merry-go-round that attracts young women these days? Kevin Swanson interviews Bethany Baird and Christen Clark, authors of the new book “Love Defined - Embracing God’s Vision for Lasting Love and Satisfying Relationships.” Young people, what needs to change about you before you get married if you really will “live happily ever after?”New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Planned Parenthood now exceeds the magnitude of the Nazi genocide of the 1930s and 1940s. Over 6,000,000 babies have been killed by Planned Parenthood over the last two decades. Now, the organization has a new president - a lesbian. Dawn Luguens is representative of where feminism goes. Feminism almost always heads towards lesbianism as it did with Eleanor Roosevelt and other early feminists. These are sounds of the death knell for the modern feminist/abortion movements.

The conservative Jewish commentator, Dennis Prager makes the point that whatever the left touches, it ruins. It’s the mud touch. The left is self-consciously self-destructive. It is bent on destroying the universities, art, women, and children. Nonetheless, is it really all that helpful to fight the left? Why fight some group of people who want to commit mass suicide? Wisdom says, “All that love me, hate death.” But, how do we get guys like Dennis Prager and everybody else to love Wisdom and Christ?

Shall Christians use Facebook? Does it really matter if we lose most of our privacy? What is the downside to all the major powers that be knowing our every thought, faith commitment, and moves? Do we really have anything to hide? Shall we trust governments and corporations with a great deal of power, or will they corrupt absolutely and turn tyrannical on us? Christians need to go into the Internet with much discernment. We discuss the positives and negatives. Facebook has ruined relationships, fed pride, and nurtured the worst types of conflicts. However, there may be a few useful reasons for its existence. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The biggest political news this week - the second most powerful man in America is voluntarily resigning to spend more time with his children. That may be the best news we’ve heard in 12 years from Washington DC! The rest of it is pretty much bad news, but at least somebody is straightening out his priorities! A record number of Republicans are resigning - they’re sick of it. Washington’s a lost cause, but there are a few other causes that aren’t lost causes. We go over them on this edition of the program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

For years, this magazine has stumbled 12 year old boys and 12 year old girls at the grocery checkout counter. Cosmopolitan magazine is one of the most influential forces in the country, introducing sexual license to millions upon millions of young teenage women and men. Finally, Walmart is pulling the magazine from the checkout lanes. Feminists were nervous about the magazine. They were okay with women using certain means to manipulate men and to use men. They didn’t like men using women however, by objectifying them via soft porn. What is the Christian answer to these feminists’ ploys?

We interact with Pope Francis’s reported statement that “There is no hell.” Then, we discuss the recent Pew Research on the high incidence of Christians who are divorced and/or cohabiting outside of the bonds of wedlock. Lutherans have the strongest marriages, and Roman Catholics and Pentecostals are more likely to be divorced and/or cohabiting. But, the Hindus and Muslims in America beat out the Christians big time. Why is Christianity so weak morally in comparison with Hindus? Is there something wrong with American Christianity? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Sadly, America and much of the West is missing out on the Fifth Great Awakening going on right now. What a heart breaker! While the world is seeing an amazing work of God, the church in America and the English speaking nations are largely dying, dead, lukewarm, cold, and lifeless. The problem is that America refuses to acknowledge Christ as Lord and King. The sacred-secular divide has been deadly in the West.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Christians have largely abandoned the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts for its promotion of sexual practices referred to as abominable in Scripture. Now, the USDA has issued new “guidelines” for the homosexualizing of 4-H programs in the rural areas of the nation. The problem, of course, is that what the government funds the government controls. Is it time for Christians to create all of their own programs for children? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

America’s monetary system has become increasingly brittle especially after the 1998 and 2008 market crashes. It’s been ten years since the last big crash, and the debt to GDP ratio is now about twice what it was before the last crash. But should we trust what the Book of Proverbs says about debt and dishonest weights and measures? Would you trust God’s Word on this one. How should Christians prepare for a collapse of the monetary system? How would we replace a dishonest monetary system with an honest system?

The world presses a different world and life view on us. . . and it pressures us to live the wrong life, with wrong priorities, wrong perspectives, wrong motivations, wrong goals, and wrong expectations. . . and we wind up with the wrong Schedule, doing the wrong things in life. The results are familiar to a lot of us. . . burn out, adrenal fatigue, overwhelming exhaustion, depression, panic attacks, emotional overload, anxiety, and extreme negativity.

We visit the front lines of the battle against child sex trafficking on this edition of Generations. Jesus is concerned that we are caring for the “least of these,” and there is no more severe crime than that which is inflicted upon small children. And, the very worst of the child sex slave trafficking is found in Cambodia and Tunisia. Kevin Swanson gets a full report on recent rescues from Jeff Brodsky of Joy International.

In the 1770s, General George Washington had all the drummers and fifers drum a man who attempted a homosexual act all of the army, “never to return.” Now, the military is placing a lesbian at the head of the Air Force Academy as Commandant. What God has called the most debased sin, had become the highest possible virtue in our land. Shall we send our sons to the Air Force Academy, and place our sons under the authority of the Lesbian? We lay out some of the biblical constraints for those who still accept God’s Law as the eternal standard, regardless of what the emperor’s new clothesmakers are telling us about ethics.

Toys R Us contributed to Planned Parenthood over many years, and now the company is bankrupted (having lost too much of its customer base). Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! This introduces a conversation on how many children a family should have. We answer this question with ten more questions. Whatever happened to the Full Quivering movement? Too much quivering, over all.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Christian film genre is raking in the bucks - Over $700 million since 2014, (up from $110 million in 2011-2013). We analyze the most recent box office buster produced by the Erwin brothers, “I Can Only imagine.” Two themes are working side by side — a redemptive theme and a humanist theme. Which one wins the day? We also provide three basic guidelines by which Christians may incorporate film to the glory of God and for positive kingdom impact.

The president signed off on another $500 million for Planned Parenthood, and another $1.3 Trillion big government budget bill. But, what we are really concerned with is the Fox News and Wall Street Journal report on the president’s language. It is a reflection of the nation. The present sexual scandals do not seem to have much of an effect on the president’s approval rating. At root, character is of essence — far more important than rhetoric. And, the fear of God is the absolutely necessary component of character for the governance of a nation.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

ABC News issues a piece on aborted fetuses used in the MMR vaccine. So we ask the question, "Should Christians use these vaccines?" Given that not a single life has been lost to Measles in a decade, so why must California mandate the MMR vaccination? Kevin Swanson answers these questions from clear biblical references. Also, we take a look at pseudo-science in the witness box - what does the Bible say about the whole area of forensic science? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

So you thought the 1960s were bad? The percentage of Americans who have “ever tried” marijuana has risen from 4% to 40% since 1969. In the 1960s, Francis Schaeffer talked about the escape from reality and the crossing over of the line of despair. The crossover is almost complete now. The use of mind-altering drugs among Americans (either on the street or over-the-counter) is on the increase. What does this mean for the country? People live out their world views, so what is that worldview?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Church is failing Generation Z, but why? The emotional experience, the lack of confrontation, the entertainment is not going to cut it, if we want to pass on the faith. Shallow teaching and a piece-meal faith isn’t going to work. We also review the progress of homosexual teen movies, which are meeting a new homosexual teen audience that is growing in leaps an bounds.

News reports on the the Austin bombing suspect point to his homeschooled background. As the media seeks the motive, we find it in the human heart. After 40-50 years of experience working with homeschooling, the Generations team discusses some of the weaknesses or traps that homeschoolers can fall into. We discuss anti-establishmentarianism and the temptation to anarchy which attends those who knee-jerk react against big government tyranny.

Evangelicalism has seen its better days. God is at work around the world, but the Western world is languishing and the old way of training pastors has fallen on hard times. The agenda for training pastors must not be set by scholars. Where is the spiritual training in the field? Where is the one-on-one discipleship? It’s time to bring a reformation into the preparation of pastors and elders for the next generation of churches. We need more spiritual men, Galatians 6:1 men, praying men, Spirit-filled men, and self-denying, cross-carrying men to lead the church in our day. How do we get them? Kevin Swanson interviews Richard Pratt, Director of Third Millennium Ministries which is working with local churches to train up 689,000 students to ministry in 200+ nations around the world.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

How do you counteract the godlessness of the day? How do you counteract the power of media, and the alternate teachers and disciplers that want to disciple your children for 40-60 hours per week? How do you counteract the massive apostasy of the millennial generation? Every family needs to address the present scenario with radical faith, radical discipleship, and radical love for God. We discuss this family discipleship with Pastor Geoff Gleason on this edition of the program. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The great philosophers of our day are asking the question: if the world is better than ever before with all of its technology and proud empires, why are we so miserable? Man is still pretending to be optimistic, but it is a fraud. We take up an article by Andrew Sullivan in New York Magazine. Man is more dehumanized than ever in the humanistic age. What gives? Has science saved us or is it destroying us? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Madeline L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time” represented a breakthrough for children’s literature in 1961, introducing pantheism, mediums, and witchcraft to kids. However, the movie edition was a disappointment to Christians, since Hollywood chose to leave Christ out of the pantheon of the gods. We take a look at the cheap new age cliches used in these movies, and challenge Christians to get a clue and a worldview.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Ireland is the last pro-life country in the Western world. But now, this country is turning pro-abortion on national polls after 1,500 years of Patrick’s influence. What would Patrick think? That's a good question to ask on St. Patrick’s Day 2018. It’s the younger generation that is far more in favor of abortion, and we suggest three reasons why - An evolutionary mindset, a bad example from the previous generation, and Game of Thrones.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Public school students emptied out of the classrooms and rushed out on to the streets protesting gun violence, and calling for gun control. Youth empowerment is a scary thing, and marks something of the judgment of God on a nation (cf. Isaiah 3:4-6).

Recent articles from Business Insider and Time Magazine keep up the questioning on the college rip-off. Is college a waste of money, generally? College loans hit $1.5 trillion last year, an increase of 250% since the last recession in 2008. We compare to Swiss vocational schools and mentorships which have yielded a youth unemploymentrate of only 3%. But then again, colleges in American have become the most powerful and virulent, Anti-God, Anti-Christian institution in America.
