How to Help Without Hurting
There are many ways charitable endeavors can go dreadfully wrong when ministering in third-world nations. Here is a helpful guide to being sure that all helping helps when seeking to help others—based on extensive mission field experience. Jesus is very concerned that we reach out to the “least of these” His brothers. How do we help them? New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Deconstructing the Faith
The current apostasy has yielded more faith lapses and a new movement called faith deconstruction. Nothing new to see here, just the same old Western apostasy. We provide four causes or excuses attending the faith deconstruction of the present age. The hatred and vitriol are typically poured out upon the church as an institution. Here is the antidote to an age of doubt and faithlessness.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Should Children Be Missionaries?
Did Jesus really mean it when He prescribed the millstone treatment for those who stumble little ones? It is one of the most severe judgements we find in Scripture, and it should cause us to sit up and pay attention. Bill Jack and Kevin Swanson discuss whether Christian children should be sent to school to be missionaries. Are children more likely to influence or be influenced?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Anti-Trump Evangelicals Speak Out
The anti-Trump evangelicals sign a statement in which they advise love, but not fear. What they are calling for is revival without repentance, love without law, and certainly a complete absence of the fear of God. So what can you do when you find yourself living in a world where almost nobody fears God?

Losing to the DINK Demographic
Two worldviews are fighting it out for the next election. But will a sexually-anarchical billionaire save our civilization from a childless cat lady? This is really the question we are grappling with . . . sort of . . . on this edition of the program. The foundations of a civilization are destroyed, and neither worldview has much interest in laying new concrete. The opportunity for rebuilding is still in the future, but not too far in the future.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Red Sea Miracle of Miracles
Egypt was at the zenith of its power, having conquered lands far into the north and the east, well into the Mesopotamian valley. The great empire set its magicians and its power against the people of God and paid the price. The most outstanding miracle of the Old Testament era took place at the Red Sea, and the prostitute at Jericho was still talking about it 40 years later, as well as the witchdoctors of Philistia 400 years later. And we’re still talking about it today. Who was the Pharaoh of the Red Sea, and how was the empire utterly decimated . . . not be resurrected until (ironically) King Saul helped to deliver the Egyptians from the Amalekites 400 years later. This story will astound you. The Bible is real history.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Economy Moving Skill-Centric
Turns out that finding a job in today's market has been harder for those who have attained a bachelor's degree. Since 1980, the price of a college education has risen at 1300 percent, while the CPI has risen about 150 percent. College debt has gone from $300 billion to $1.75 trillion since 2004 in 20 years. That’s a six-fold increase, with 85 percent of kids getting bachelors’ degrees graduating with debt. The economy is moving from degree-centric to skill-centric, and mentorship is the fastest way to skill development.

Sports as a Metaphor for War
Christians have been quite congratulatory of most feminist achievements, particularly with the Title IX egalitarian vision for college sports. But, much of sports has served as something of a metaphor for warfare and often preparatory to warfare. Women in violent sports and women in combat have worked their way into the norm . . . in fact, now American women are more successful in sports than men. But how will Christian parents raise their daughters?

The Age-Segregated Programmic Church
The family and the church have worked their way into obsolescence in the modern world—displaced by large institutions, age-segregated programs, and individuated and socialist systems. The church is not a YMCA. The church is not a pep talk. The church is not a group of families hanging out in some sort of a warm fellowship that we enjoy until people get in a conflict, and then it’s over. The church is not a concert. The church is not a seminary lecture. The church is not a series of after-school programs and activities for which you can sign up your kids. The church is not an evangelistic crusade. So what is it? And what did the Bible say about children’s ministries?

Douglas Wilson and Al Mohler on Trump
When you are at the extreme end of an empire, who do you vote for? The call gets tougher. Who will administer the fire sale when God’s judgment hangs over a nation? Be careful about pragmatism as a principle for life. Pro-lifers like Lila Rose are disillusioned. Russell Moore is disillusioned for other reasons, however misplaced. But Douglas Wilson and Al Mohler are still hanging in there for Trump, despite Trump’s commitment to veto any abortion ban whatsoever. Just watch out for pragmatism. Obey God.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Mystery of Ancient Egyptian History Revealed
The key to unravelling the complex mysteries of ancient Egyptian history is found in a biblical chronology. Finally, Christian researchers are aligning ancient histories and archeological finds with a rock-solid biblical historical record. In this new exchange with Kenneth Griffith, we point out the dynasties and Pharaohs that align with the biblical historical records of Joseph, Moses, and the Exodus. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Hindu Heritage Displaces US Christian Heritage
England, Scotland, and America’s heritage is being replaced by a Muslim and Hindu heritage. The apostasy is full blown when the nation is led by a Hindu goddess, or something like that. Kamala Devi Harris represents a lot of firsts—most liberal, most dysfunctional, first feminist, and among the mostly incompetent among the leaders of America. All highly significant of an empire already collapsed.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Biden’s Intense Religious Commitment
The Biden administration and the FBI’s commitment to transgender surgeries for children takes us back a bit. The religious commitment dates way back to the first centuries following the flood with the Naamah or Ishtar cultus worship. The revolt against the true and living God finds no limit in the heart of fallen man.

The Conversion of Ronald Reagan
Here is the story of Ronald Reagan—the ugly, the bad, and the good. His record is spotty, but there were signs of a turn-around, especially on the matter of abortion. Charles Schultz and Peanuts played a role. There are lessons to learn as well . . . King Saul of the Old Testament was a registered Republican, a card-carrying conservative.

Disappearance of G-Rated Films
G-rated films have disappeared since 2019. The last G-rated film netted $600,000 in the box office, replaced by R-rated films that are pulling in up to $1.2 billion at a time. The culture has turned raw, hard-edged, and nihilist. But, an appreciable remnant is peeling off of the suicidal mission of the Western mass culture to form islands of healthy culture—something will sustain as these Christians are busy planting gardens in the ashes of the previous civilization.

God’s Judgements upon a Nation
The feminists have opened up the floodgates to women leading in family, church, and state. We have no problem connecting the dots between gender role confusion and gender confusion, especially within the context of the family and the church. What does God’s absolutely certain Word of truth say about women leading the family, the church, and the state, and how has this been compromised by modern complementarians and egalitarians? We get into 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2 on this segment of the program.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Trend Towards Tyranny in US
Presidents are given the license to kill. Dictatorships are on the rise. Overall, big government has grown 25 percent since the year in this country alone. The world has lost freedoms steadily over the last 18 years since the Christian cultural influence stumbled in the US, particularly since 2006. Will freedom survive? Here we give the worldview reasons why Christians must reject absolutism and totalitarian big government control of every aspect of our lives.

Division in US Politics
There is a huge amount of division in American politics today, and possibly the worst since the Civil War. The sentences for those who participated in January 6th, 2021 are wildly unjust, with some of those involved receiving 17 years imprisonment for social media posts. However, what is the real problem? Following the Civil War, the Moody Revivals established some stability for the country, and that is certainly what the US needs today–a revival of the hearts and minds of the American people.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Theology of C.S. Lewis
George MacDonald was one of the largest influences in C.S. Lewis’ life . . . and C.S. Lewis is highly esteemed among evangelicals today. On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the theology and writings of George MacDonald and C.S. Lewis. Can we benefit from the teaching of men that have flaws, but still avoid putting humans on a pedestal?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Billy Graham’s Grandkids
Billy Graham’s granddaughter says she’s voting for Kamala. She explains the basis of her decision as the general boorishness and her dislike for the other guy running. Feminism is fueling gender wars in the race as the gender gap in the presidential polls have widened to an unprecedented 35 percent. We identify five weaknesses with evangelicalism that has affected the grandchildren of evangelical leaders.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Return of the Fearsome Nephilim
We continue our series with Ken Griffith, putting the pieces together to reveal a full picture of ancient world history. Following the worldwide flood, the world quickly sinks into gross darkness, to include the return of the Nephilim, the rise of the giants, ancestor worship, sexually-perverted Ishtar worship, and the tyranny of Nimrod and Gilgamesh. Ancient secular histories provide a little insight, but all must be filtered through a biblical worldview to better understand the spiritual, social, and political conditions of a world without God.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Uncovering the Dark Secrets of the Ancient World
The Bible gives us the reason for the darkness that descended upon the world. In this segment, we connect ancient histories with the biblical historical truths. We take a look at the flood in ancient histories, the PG-13 version of the humiliation of Noah, the day of the dead, ancestor worship, the Naamah figure who introduced sexual perversion into the religious cultus, the sick story of Gilgamesh, and the Nimrod initiation of the Babel impulse to rule the world.

A Demonic Pop Culture
Pop culture is indicative of the heart of the nation, and is more influential than even politics. On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the gradual fall of pop culture into complete wickedness and rebellion against God.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Child Abuse in the Church
Child abuse is rampant in the church, and particularly in the Catholic church, which is in a very bad position morally speaking. Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss some of the origins of the sexual sins that run rampant in our world today. Many years ago, homosexuality was classified as a psychiatric disorder, and the DSM-5 is now starting to classify pedophilia as a psychiatric disorder. Are these just mental issues, or does the problem run far deeper into the spiritual realm?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

How the US Turns Blind Eye to Christian Persecution
The US is turning a blind eye to Christian persecution in the world, and the situation is only getting worse. President Biden appointed a Muslim as the Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, and nobody’s cracking down on Muslim-run Nigeria. Is this a fox in the henhouse of international relations? We consider how to look at Christian persecution with both a commitment to justice and a love for mercy. How does this work?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Mystery of the Prediluvian Nephilim
The Neanderthals descended from Ham. The cavemen of modern mythic reputation did not exist. And, the pre-flood world produced rhino-like creatures eight times larger than African rhinos and armadillos the size of Toyota Camrys. Bad worldviews have resulted in the wrong view of science and history, very poorly educated children, and the deception of the masses on a grand scale. We put things straight by rendering proper authority and reliability to the ultimate source of knowledge—God’s Word. Here we are working through the pre-flood world of Adam, Cain, Lamech, and the fearsome Nephilim—who resurface again after the flood.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

How Can Christians Share the Gospel?
If you take repentance and the commandments away from the evangelistic task, what do you get? You can ask Peter in Acts 2, Paul on Mars Hill, Jesus, or John the Baptist. Kevin Swanson interviews well-known evangelist Ray Comfort on the core issues of the Gospel. Are evangelicals getting this right?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Raising Godly Children
Many countries have banned spanking. The Bible encourages the use of the rod, but doesn't limit discipleship and raising children to using the rod. There are so many more important aspects of child raising, and Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow address some of these topics on this edition of Generations.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Mother Persecuted for Her Pro-Life Stance
On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Bevelyn Beatty Williams, a Christian pro-lifer who has undergone extensive persecution because of her pro-life values. Not only has she been persecuted and targeted by the Biden administration, but was also attacked and stabbed by BLM activists. Williams is a young mother and wife and has been sentenced to 3 years in prison for standing up for life. You can support Bevelyn Beatty Williams at https://www.givesendgo.com/BevelynBeattyWilliams. Donations will go to helping her appeal her case.

Neocolonialism and Africa
Western money, western ideas, and western decadence are set to destroy Africa—especially the most prosperous nations. The Deuteronomy 8:14 principle applies just as much to Africa and East Asia as to the West. The richest nations in the world are the ones plunging headlong into decadence. Some nations like Ghana are doing what they can to stave off the onslaught.

The Mystery of a Lost Civilization
Honest archeologists and historians are baffled by the most ancient remnants of human civilization revealing extremely well-developed technologies. Where did this technology come from? Biblical historians have the answer. There had to be an advanced civilization prior to some great cataclysm in the recesses of ancient history. There had to be somebody from this advanced civilization that conveyed that technology to the new world following the cataclysm. This is the only reasonable conclusion, and we have an explanation for it—from Scripture.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Prosperity Gospel Dominates Now
The "Prosperity Gospel" is gaining steam, especially over the last five years. The majority of churchgoers ascribe to the Prosperity Gospel now, and only 5 percent categorically oppose it. We take the three propositions advocated by the Prosperity Gospelites and examine them through the lens of Scripture here. Is there any truth to these propositions? God wants you to be wealthy. Give more, and God will reward you with more riches. To receive material blessings, you must do something for God. Do you believe these things?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Deadpool Leads the Culture
Enough that multiple levels of pseudo-realities are distancing the post-modern from all objective reality in the big blockbuster films. He laughs at his own torture scenes. He laughs at the pedophilia. He laughs at himself laughing. But let's not talk about the blasphemy, the nihilism, the anarchism, the revenge killings, the perverse sexuality, and everything else making the most successful R-rated movie of all time. The latest Deadpool release is breaking records in the box office, and it's leading the culture. Now where there is no God . . . and the demi-gods are fighting it out with each other . . . who cares if the multiverse is destroyed? But apparently somebody cares enough to watch these superhero movies. We encourage higher levels of discernment for Christian movie reviews.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Olympian War Against Christ
Macron has declared war on Christianity. France has declared war on Christ, and paganism has been revived in the Greek Olympics. But the spiritual release from the pit actually occurred in 1793. None of this blasphemy is new. We provide some historical insight into what has led up to the present attacks on whatever remnants of the faith remain in Europe.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Transgendering 60 Million Children
With a stroke of a pen, President Biden has issued a policy requiring transgenderism for every school in America (or at least 69 percent of them). The Supreme Court has already determined that Title VII applies to homosexualizing and transgendering private businesses with the Bostock decision of 2020. Now the only question left . . . will Title IX apply to public schools and public services? There is one thing standing in the way of this demonic agenda — parents, who do things God’s way.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Left's Legal Wedge for Pedophilia
Pedophilia is the next horizon for the left, and powerful leftist legal and political organizations are making a way for it. The first cases are the hardest to fight for the cause of righteousness because nobody wants to stand with the good guys, and the bad guys are more committed to their agenda than the good guys. Phillip Zodhiates continues fighting against all odds—against homosexual pedophilia.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Is My Child a Christian?
Has my child really got faith in Jesus? Have they repented? Are they exhibiting true spiritual life? These questions are of deep concern to every Christian parent. Conversion stories are very different according to the individual child. Here we review a few outstanding stories of conversion, mainly of those raised in Christian homes. How does one come to this life? And how is one made aware of this life within him/her?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

What in the World Is Happening?
Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the changes going on in our world today. America continues to rebel, and world powers are starting to shift. Kevin and Bill outline how important it is to disciple all nations around the world, especially as world powers change.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

“Killed by the Woke Mind Virus”
The richest man in the world shares the cold hard facts of his own life — especially in relation to his son. He was “killed by the woke mind virus.” We tune in to the two Gamaliels of the day, Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk, on evolution, Trump, and the transgender disaster of the modern age. They misdiagnose the more fundamental issues, and thereby miss the total solution.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Ahab Out, Jezebel In
If you think Ahab was bad, you should take a look at Jezebel. The pendulum swings wider and wider, as the two American parties appear to be separating ways at least on a few issues. But, the real interesting division is between young men and women. The gender division in the American household is widening. This sort of thing doesn't end well. We look at Kamala Harris' record with adultery, abortion, and persecuting pro-lifers.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Secular Education Declared War
The secularization of education in the West has turned into the enforcement of the religious fundamentalism of atheism. France's president admitted this when he banned home education (particularly Christian home education) in his country. Is something similar happening here? Tucker Carlson thinks so. Will the US become another Scotland, France, or England?

Did Jesus Advocate Manliness for Men?
Men have been AWOL for a generation or two. But now we see men reappearing on the scene. Men with beards, for the first time in 120 years, leading men in this country are sporting beards. But does this mean a return to faith for a snowflake age? Will men be men in the 1 Corinthians 16:13 sense of the term?

JD Vance and the Saving of the Republic
We have finally come upon this historic moment, the fighting for the life of the last of the Western nations. The shaping of a new Republican Party concedes the war in favor of protectionism and populism over biblical principle. We take a look at the history of the Republican Party and the moment of decision come to at the 2024 convention.

What if . . . the Hearts of the Fathers Turned?
We rarely consider the powerful potential of the father relationship, but this is the greatest need, the most crying need of the day. Here are a few testimonies to what can happen when the hearts of the fathers turn to the children, and children to the fathers, according to the grand promise of Malachi 4. New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

The Trump Assassination Attempt
President Donald Trump’s narrow escape from death has put something of the fear of God into the American people. References to God’s providence and divine intervention have come from unexpected sources. Does God control every wind gust and every nod of the head? We discuss reasons for the shocking scene that played out last Saturday in a Pennsylvania fairgrounds.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Secular Trajectory Accelerating in Europe
Faith, family, and freedom are fast disappearing from France, Sweden, and Scotland. Christian families are very few and far between. Some have had to escape the tyranny of these countries. France's president Macron was clear on the point in advocating the abolishment of home education. In his words, "School is the mold of the republic. This is what ensures that we protect our children completely from religion.”New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Pastors Addicted to Porn
Some surveys say 50 to 60 percent of pastors are getting into pornography. If pastors and elders are called to be examples to the flock, how is this going to work out for the churches? Do presbyteries and church elderships ask their pastors about their porn habits? Shall churches implement a Zero Tolerance policy for leadership? But would a “Zero Tolerance Policy” result in increasingly compromised transparency? Kevin Swanson interviews Pastor Phil Kayser on these thorny problems relating to pornography in church leadership.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Home Education Worldwide
On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson goes abroad to the GHEX conference in Manchester, England, to interview several leaders in the international homeschooling movement. The school systems are failing in many countries, with nine out of ten children not knowing how to read by age 10 in Kenya. How is home education doing in Kenya, Uganda, and Latin America? Is it the solution for, not only a successful education, but for a Christ-centered education as well?New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Contentment and Womanhood
What is the virtuous woman spoken of in Proverbs 31? Modesty. Domesticity. Prudence. Contentment. These aren't words we hear much anymore in the common vernacular, so here in this interview with Nancy Wilson we limp up to explain it once more. Nancy Wilson is the author of 16 books for Christian women, young and old. You will appreciate the graciousness, the humility, and the matter-of-fact, biblical language without the sappy sentimentality in this exchange.New kids and family podcast from Generations - TeachMeTheFaith.com

Testimonies from Ukraine
What does it look like to carry on the work of Christ in the midst of a warzone, pain, and death . . . and to build in the ashes? Here is a boots-on-the-ground testimony from Kryvyi Rhi, Ukraine on this edition of the program. To support their work, visit shelter-plus.com.
