The Generations Radio Program

Do we live in Babylon, more so today than a hundred years ago? What are the points of intersection between America and the Babylonian exile? Drawing from Jeremiah 29, we pull out the sort of life the Lord would have us to live under the present conditions. Build houses. Plant gardens. Have children.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

What is laziness? Is it a sin? What are the outward manifestations of laziness sprouting within a child’s life? What is a Biblical view of work, rest, and recreation, and how can we as parents disciple our children through their (and our own) struggles with laziness? Kevin Swanson, Bill Roach, and Daniel Craig discuss these and other questions about the subject of laziness on this edition of the program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

What is the best thing governments can do to improve economies? Five words: Get. Out. Of. The. Way. And, what is the best way to stay out of wars and avoid the slaughter of a billion people? Free trade and sports. But, what does the Bible say about things like tariffs? What does history say about it?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

In this segment of “What Does the Bible Say About That?”, Kevin and Josh Schwisow discuss several questions sent in by Generations listeners. How can wives encourage their husbands to be involved in the spiritual life of the family? What should be the focus when discussing modest dress? Is it more than just externals?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We live in a sterile and de-relationalized world. A large number of Gen Z’ers are on psychotropic drugs and are longing for relationships, but the modern church isn't putting relationships as a priority. As Christians, we need to follow Jesus' example of building and fostering relationships.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

We live in an age of brokenness—that's the baseline for most families in our day. But all of us are broken, by nature—it’s just that the disease has broken out into gaping sores and we can see it now. But what now? How does one face the brokenness? First, admit the problem . . . all of them. Then, Psalm 51.

The age of buttercups is over. As Politico puts it, Trump is a force of history, and Putin, Jinping, and Trump are all strong men, and they recognize each other to be such. We discuss the value and risk of strength and strong men. How do the Scriptures speak of strength as a virtue? Are we moving towards the age of Hitler, Stalin . . . and Churchill?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The battle for honest money went on for over a hundred years in American history, but the cause was lost in 1913. How did this happen, and what are the biblical standards for honest money? Andy Keusel, producer of a video course on Biblical money, joins us on this edition of the program. These are the basics that every Christian family and all of our children need to understand if we will ever restore honest money to the world.

Crypto investors, companies, and executives accounted for half of all corporate donations in the 2024 election cycle. And Trump Crypto did 18,000 percent out of the gate—with a current capitalization of $7 billion. However, the number of crypto investors is shrinking now, year by year. That’s not going to do well for this $4 trillion game, where it’s all about who gets out the game first with the most cash. We explain the difference between investing and gambling on this segment of the Generations Radio Program.

Bill Roach, Kevin Swanson, and Danny Craig come back to discuss the importance of discipleship in the home, considering the special role that dads have when it comes to the raising of children. Is it enough to simply cut out movies and video games? What are some healthy replacements for media? How important is accountability when it comes to the internet? When should dads start to have discussions with their children on sexuality and the traps of lust and pornography? Some of these questions, and more, are addressed on this edition of Generations. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here’s the first 120 hours of the new administration. Trump was saved by God, but why? Was this to make America great again? Or was this to make America humble again? Out of the starting gate, Trump is taking his Romans 13 responsibilities seriously—defending borders and exercising proper justice in regards to criminals. He is releasing the innocent, including the pro-lifers (as of the recent news). But will the nation make progress on abortion and pulling back on the liberal agenda in the schools?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The job that God has given to dads is the most important job in the world. What dads are doing is fundamental for the health of the family, the health of the church, and society at large. Discipleship of the nations starts in our own homes. Kevin Swanson, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig discuss both the fundamentals of discipleship and specific questions around child-rearing, maintaining unity in one’s marriage, and how to cultivate gratitude in the home on this edition of the Generations program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Kevin Swanson and Danny Craig engage in a conversation, addressing specific questions from listeners. They speak to the importance of a father in the lives of his children, and what their role is, in a practical sense. While the world is in chaos and families are falling apart, Christian fathers need to be submitting to God, correcting, coaching, and mentoring their children, and loving their wives.

Who’s to blame for these fires and hurricanes that are damaging our country? Reparations are running close to 2 percent of the GNI, just enough to tip us into recession. God brings it, but God can save us. Shall we trust insurance agencies, FEMA, princes, and horses? Or better yet, shall we trust God?

Here is the shocking story of the most popular homeschooling mommy-blogger - Ruby Franke. The reports were that, “This family looks soooo beautiful!” She had a billion views, but now she’s serving up to 30 years in prison. The cults do well with this. The worldly media is all about this. What matters most is the externals . . . the appearances . . . but not so much the heart.

How does one fight the wars that are raging today around things like abortion or the homosexual agenda? Is just anyone suited for the fight? We must remember a few basic principles, not least of which is that we are fighting principalities and powers as we engage the battle with the culture. Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss strategies for the fight, and review the life of Anita Bryant on this edition of the program.

Nothing encapsulates and exemplifies the spirit of the age like Joe Rogan. The modern youth are enraptured by diversions, a constant stream of the f-words, conspiracies, drugs, and UFO’s. In a word . . . unhinged. This is nihilistic, hard-edged, constantly-vacillating relativism on steroids. Sadly, the young people in the church have been affected by this spirit. The only possible solution is to be nailed down to the deck of God’s truth (God’s law-word) with 400 sixteen-penny nails. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Taking a position on truth is pretty unpopular today, but there are still some who have the courage to do it in the public forum. Dr. James White is one of the nation's most active Christian apologists and debaters, having debated atheists, Muslims, etc. over the last twenty years. Here Kevin Swanson interacts with James on how to engage the battle in the dangerous war of ideas—with meekness and fear. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The teenage phenomenon and peer culture has captured the modern world. The thing was born on October 12, 1944—now almost 80 years ago. Only the 98-year-old men and women would have been there to commemorate this revolution. For 5,944 years of world history, there was no peer orientation and peer pressure as what kids face today. Here, we bring a biblical comparison between fearing God (and honoring parents) and fearing peers. The destructive consequences of this social revolution are everywhere now. But, how do we pick up the pieces and rebuild a healthy family and church culture today? This program offers a start to the conversation.

Everything is excused in the alternate universes created for the fantasy worlds in an age of rabid autonomy. Post-Christian man is cutting himself loose from the bonds of God’s law in his own imagination. This begins with Matilda Joslyn Gage and Frank Baum and then continues with the J.K. Rowlings of the world. The same sort of thing is happening now with the Western infatuation with pagan manga and anime. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Somebody’s lying. The Federal Reserve and the Keynesian economists play the shell game with the people, and it is an outright violation of the 8th and 9th commandments. Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts. Here is one more attempt to uncover the most massive heist of all time—and it’s the widows and retirees that are hit the hardest. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Hollywood and the big film industry lost another 3.9 percent year over year, down 47 percent over 2002. And the Golden Globes throws away its awards to two trash films that nobody watched. Hollywood is passing away with the lust thereof . . . the stars are tarnished. This is going down. Will Christians go down with it? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The most urgent issue in the news must be the leading cause of death in the world—killing 175 million people a year, as compared with 8.2 million people who died of cancer, 5 million of cancer, 1.7 million of HIV/AIDS, and 1.35 million from traffic fatalities. Even Christians pass it off, and don’t pay much attention to it. But, God cares. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The millennial generation’s regular church attendance rate is 18 percent, down from 55 percent with the Silent Generation. We caught up with Josh McDowell, the youth guru, and we're asking him the million-dollar questions. What will salvage the millennial generation? What's the message? How to compete with the electronic revolution? If you've heard about the debate on presuppositional and evidential apologetics, you need to hear about your life apologetic.

What does the Bible say about immigration, nationalism, and borders? Is there a point at which the salad bowl of multiculturalism turns into a time bomb? What happens when a nation jettisons its Christian common denominator? Dr. Phil Kayser joins me to talk through these important issues that touch quite a few nations in our present day.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Christians too often delve into the culture. They kowtow to it, and fall down into it, and further pollute the spring. In the name of Christian liberty, almost everything is permitted, but what was it that Romans 14 was talking about? Shall we encourage more or less interaction with pop culture, and at what point are you stepping over the line and having communion with the unfruitful works of darkness?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here are the gutsy pro-life ads that interrupted The View, the World Series, and other programming during the presidential campaign. Whether God uses a donkey, or Jonah, or anybody else, the prophetic word gets out for these empires that attempt a coup against the Almighty.

Get the whole year in 20 minutes, siphoning US events and world events through a biblical world and life grid. Here is an excellent bird’s eye view of the progression of history, the shocking US election, the destabilization of the world, the second nuclear arms race, the popular cultural trends, the state of the church, and the death of socialist leaders in the West.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Action films have changed shape since the heyday of Stallone, Willis, Gibson, and Schwarzenegger. More women, more explicit gore, more ethical ambiguity, and more hard-edged nihilism all around. But, what about the vigilantism, the venge-fests, the blood lust, and the pride and reliance on self? Did they include God in the picture, or is all of this to the glory of man? Here is a worldview analysis of action films.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

With one final treacherous policy decision, President Joe Biden sweeps almost every federal prisoner on death row into a free-room-and-board program for the rest of their lives. Whence cometh this softy-wofty treatment of ax murderers and serial killers? The root is found in a corrupted 19th-century theology. Human governments are supposed to be some expression of common grace that dates back to the Noahic covenant—but not much anymore. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Crazy worldviews produce crazy consequences. That principle cannot be better illustrated than with Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and the man who’s got the ear of the most powerful man in the world. We dissect the Musk worldview, ultimately the same atheistic worldview as Douglas Adams and Richard Dawkins. We discuss the limitations of science, as well the internal incoherence of a materialist, deist/atheist worldview. There is no basis for any meaning in life, but Elon Musk still grasps at his straws—hoping against hope he will find it someday within the confines of the universe itself.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

THIS PROGRAM ORIGINALLY AIRED IN 2021. As we celebrate this Christmas, we review once more the accomplishments of this great King. Can we really say that kings and queens will kneel before Him? What did Christ do for the world over these 2,000 years with the aid of His followers? What would the world be like if Jesus had never been born?

There cannot be a more needful topic for the hour than this. Discipleship is the mission. Discipleship is what is lacking, especially the discipleship of the disciplers, in the age of education, institutions, and seminaries. Brian Croft from practicalshepherding.com provides immensely helpful advice based on his experience and ministry work over the years. This is especially good for parents and pastors.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There is a transgender tug-of-war going on over children. Some states are staging themselves as sanctuary states for transgender surgeries for kids and children’s rights. Others will stand for parental rights. The only question that matters is this: What does the Bible (i.e. God) say about transgenderism and parental rights?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Isolation. Exclusivism. The sovereignty of man. Fixated on external practices. A rejection of the historical church. This is what has characterized eccentric cults over the years. But, the fallout from gross heterodoxy and hypocrisy can be severe. But the biggest cult of all is the post-Christian, anti-Christian worldview indoctrination into atheism and humanism. This brought about a sexual revolution that did more damage than anybody could have ever imagined.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The left has taken a big setback, while the more libertarian side got a front seat in the 2024 elections. DEI, woke, the transgender crowd, and the feminists have all fainted in the bleachers. The MSM missed the game, and it’s pretty much over now for the CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS monopoly over the minds of the American public. The tower of Babel is crumbling into some strange pieces.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Homeschooling is no panacea, and exceptional challenges are present here and there . . . but homeschooling still introduces the most positive news in Western Christianity—when it comes to generational faith. Another comprehensive study just released confirms that homeschooling is two times to four times more effective than Christian schools for passing on the faith. Here Kevin Swanson and Dr. Brian Ray (president, National Home Education Research Institute, www.nheri.org) review these outstanding comparisons between homeschooling and Catholic and Protestant schools. The Cardus study confirms the initial results we obtained with the Gen-2 study done ten years ago.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Kevin and Bill discuss the importance of ideas, worldview, and art in culture. Tom T. Hall, a country singer and a nihilist, wrote a song entitled “The Man Who Shot Himself,” then ended up shooting himself and committing suicide over 40 years after the song came out. Ideas are powerful things. The habits and patterns that are set in younger years will affect the later years of our lives. This is why it is vital that we remember and fear God in the days of our youth, and separate ourselves from self-destructive art, lest we move into despair and nihilism.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

A CEO of a big insurance company was recently murdered. This has been a priority issue for the news channels lately. However, why won't the news cover the thousands of babies that have been murdered in the womb? Meanwhile, Trump continues to double down on his lack of concern for the abortion issue. Abortion pills are being made available for sale in all 50 states, and the killing of babies continues unchecked. America needs to repent before it's too late.

Polygamy is on the rise in a post-Christian world along with other accoutrements of paganism. Occasionally, homeschooling families will migrate in that direction. But, why the move towards eccentric cults and cultic ways? We offer a few reasons on this edition of Generations, and biblical basis for calling polygamy an affront to God's law order.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Turns out the roots of The Wizard of Oz are firmly rooted in 19th century feminism with all its seances and penchant for witchcraft. We didn’t like the distinction between the good witch and the wicked witch. But now, this wicked witch is a little more personable and really good at heart. Here is why Christians are still against Wicked and witchcraft. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Marilyn Boyer about a new box set of books sold at MasterBooks.com. These books are focused on historical figures that, through God working in them, have influenced the course of history in incredible ways. Tune into this program for a more detailed look at these people’s lives, and go to MasterBooks.com to purchase the set for your family.

American fertility has dropped 21 percent in 14 years, and another 4 percent since 2021 (post-Dobbs). That’s 72,000 more babies lost every year to either abortion, abortifacients, or some other means. Expect another 80 colleges to close in the next few years. Already, 1,660 colleges have closed, and more are to come. That’s bad news for the blue left, but good news for the red right in this country, assuming the university is the cause of birth implosions and the bad worldviews that undermine the nation and human society in general. It’s a self-immolating vision for the left.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

US President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on several firearms charges, but what does the Bible say about gun registrations and partiality in government policy? Will the president release everybody else convicted of crimes for violating unconstitutional and tyrannical gun laws? While the liberal governments violate the liberties of millions, they allow murderers to run free on the streets. What is the role of government as dictated by the Lord of lords? After all, civil magistrates are servants of God.

Anti-Christian, post-Christian America and the UK are turning towards polytheism and Hinduism as the operating religion, with Hindus and Muslims filling the void where the Christian faith has been abandoned. Hindus are also increasingly taking over Western governments, currently making up 0.7 percent of the U.S. population but roughly 10 percent of Trump’s appointees. Hinduism is polytheistic and hopeless. It has a confused ethic and views reality as an illusion. There is no value for the individual. So where will our nations go as Hindus increasingly take over Western governments? How do we restore the stability of the nation? It must start with true discipleship, revival, and repentance.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Here is a statement signed by hundreds of pastors and church people in opposition to antisemitism. But what is scapegoating, discrimination, hatred, self-loathing, antisemitism, and racism? Let’s define our terms carefully here, and not allow the world to govern our conceptions by their own definitions and terms. Can we blame all the troubles of the failure of Christian faith and the loss of liberties, etc. upon a particular ethnic group? Or, would it be better to humble ourselves and identify the real problem?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Major scientific breakthroughs do not happen every day. They require a combination of inspiration, perspiration, and, of course, the mercy of God. This particular medical invention has contributed to saving millions of lives. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the first Human Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machine in 1977. Dr. Damadian gives God the glory for this amazing technological breakthrough. Was this the reason he was refused the Nobel Prize in 1984? This story will be a true inspiration to every Christian and to every young person who wants to discover something amazing in God's great universe. At the end of the program, Dr. Damadian shares the secret of what it takes to produce an invention of great import.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

There are over twice as many unemployed twenty-somethings as there were four years ago! That's a 200 percent increase in the unemployment ratio! Is there any reason to sit around and twiddle the thumbs? Opportunities are always everywhere. Kevin Swanson interviews Russ McGuire on his mentorship of young men through entrepreneurship. How does a young man learn entrepreneurship, and what does it take to succeed?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

If you think America has lost faith, family, and freedom, or any semblance of a biblical worldview over the last fifty years, you ought to check out other nations like England, Scotland, or Australia! Yet, there seems to be a tiny remnant hanging on to relationships and truth in a lost and lonely world. We found a family in Australia who has more than 1.4 children, is reintegrating family relationships, and understands the Christian mandate to apply God's Word to all areas of thought and life. Kevin Swanson interviews Joseph Stephen, a homeschooling father of six and author of several books, on this segment of Generations.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

American federal debt is growing faster than the GDP now. This year, the debt-to-GDP ratio stands at 121 percent. . . about fifth worst in the world. Interest payments on the federal debt have topped 36 percent of total tax receipts. And all of this has its roots in the Keynesian philosophies of the early 1920’s and 30’s. The present-orientedness, existentialism, and the ideology of Jean-Paul Sartre and John Maynard Keynes are what ran the 20th century and helped produce what we have today. So how much character would it require to reverse the worldview that has soaked our respective nations over the last 50-60 years? How much long-term vision would it take to turn the nation around? Probably a little more than what Elon Musk and Scott Bessett can offer. We review President Trump’s pick for Secretary of the Treasury and revisit the history of modern economics on this edition of the program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com
