The Generations Radio Program

Generationswww.generations.org
Today's family and social-economic systems are failing and will continue to do so unless the collective people regain a proper understanding of reality. Generations Radio, with Kevin Swanson, presents that proper understanding of reality by speaking to the issues people face in the modern day from the perspective of a biblical worldview. Broadcasting from our basement studio in Elizabeth, Colorado, we reach over 100 countries.

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 program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McMa...

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, h...

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. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Senate passed Trump’s Big Beau...

Marginalized by the Crowd - Virgin at 40 - Swimming Against the Tide

It’s sort of hard to be in the 1%. . .of people who hold to a biblical worldview. . . or the 3% 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% 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? This program inclu...

The Most Atheistic Nation In the World, and It’s not China - Worldview Roots Matter

The most atheistic nations in the world are not all communist. They are all man worshippers and money worshippers. But how did they get that way? What are their roots? And why did they reject the Christian faith? Both North and South Korea made the list but for different reasons. Ideas, education, and books will make the difference and inform a nation’s worldview. The most atheistic nation in the world is not China or North Korea. It’s the Czech Republic. Download episode MP3 here: https://traff...

Help! My Pastor & Church Are Big on Harry Potter (And We’re Not) - Navigating Church Disagreements on Pop Culture: What Does the Bible Say About That?

Here’s another segment on “What Does the Bible Say About That?” How does the church get on with disagreements on Harry Potter, witchcraft, homosexuality, and vampirism? First, you’ve got to hate the world (the world’s system) and love the brother. Too often, we’ve got it the other way around. There’s too much love for the world and too little love for the brother. We recommend asking questions, achieving agreement on the principle level, gaining unity on goals, and engaging the hard-core worldvi...

How to Wonder at the Wonderful - The Wonder of God’s Creation

We have lost two important things in modern life—wonder and rest. How have we missed the most important things? This happens largely through diversion and distraction, neither of which make life all that wonderful. Eryn Lynum helps us with reintroducing wonder and seeing God’s fingerprints on His works of creation.

Parents who Mutilate Their Children - Why Harming Children Is Wrong

The conscience of a nation awakened for a moment when the bodies of 800 dead babies were discovered in a septic tank at a nun-run operation in Ireland. But what about the other 100,000,000 babies flushed into septic tanks around the world last year? But then, the UK parliament just voted to allow late-term abortions, while everybody was up in arms over 800 dead babies buried in the septic tank. Hypocrisy runs thick. We also find a biblical basis for the US Supreme Court decision on a Tennessee l...

Killing Sin - The Everyday Battle with the Flesh - Discipleship for Dads

Kill sin or it will be killing you. This is the battle plan for every Christian. It’s violent. It’s personal. And, it’s every day. This discipleship for dads panel discusses what this killing sin business looks like in the average Christian’s life. What is this plucking out eyes and cutting off arms that Jesus recommends?

America and Entangling Alliances - Out of the Frying Pan into a Frying Pan

Philippines, Cuba, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, and on and on it goes. America hardly has found a war it didn’t like since the turn of the 20th century. Maybe George Washington had it right when he warned of entangling alliances in his farewell address. Shall we take this dog by its ears? What is the best way for a nation to defend its own borders?

Tattooing, Vampirism, Androgyny, and Body Modifications - What Does the Bible Say About That?

We take on the huge subject of cultural symbols and the worldviews that tie into them. Do Christians inadvertently back into a worldview by absorbing the cultural symbols, or does it work vice versa? Our concern is not so much the tattoos, but the worldviews of self-definition, existentialism, isolationism, and bondage. Our concern is much less tattoos, but more so God’s tattoo.

The Status of America — 2020-2025 - Has the Nation Repented Yet?

Gallup has followed three extremely core indexes concerning America’s moral position—good news and bad news. But most troubling is that the pro-life position has lost significant ground since 2020. Trump can’t do much about that. But what must the churches do? Shall they excommunicate members for supporting the killing of children?

Contemporary Christian Music - A Sordid History - A Comparison with the Catholic Church of the 1490s

Warning: This program may contain material not appropriate for children. We walk through the sordid history of the most popular, top-of-the-pyramid stars in the contemporary Christian music business. The only historical comparison that ties in would be the Catholic Church and the degradation of the papacy in the 1490s. We also recount word-for-word that historic moment in modern evangelicalism when David Wilkerson cried, “Ichabod!” Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forced...

Sesame Street’s Radical Agenda: 1969-Present - Beware of Radical Social View

How many of us parents were clueless as to the insidious agenda behind Sesame Street, the number one most influential program on children in the history of media? We have uncovered evidence of Sesame Street promoting homosexuality as early as 1982. But fundamentally, both the underlying worldview and social views were radically humanist and socialist—from the beginning.

Nuclear War, Romans 3, and the Nature of Man - Is Nuclear War Survivable?

God’s judgment is hanging over the nations unlike any time in our lifetime. The Doomsday clock approaches midnight. Rogue states have added access to nuclear arms. Pakistan, India, Iran, Russia, and China are about as irritated as they have ever been. We take this from a biblical worldview perspective, applying Romans 3 to the Ayatollah and North Korea’s president. Not good. Not good. But is nuclear war survivable? Will God shelter us in the day of His wrath, per Zephaniah 2:3? Big questions to ...

Need More Salt Over Here. Somebody Pass the Salt! - Post-Christian Conservatism

The Christian cultural denominator has disappeared in our respective nations. But then, the Christians who remain can’t make up their mind whether they are salt or not. Mass confusion reigns—with the two-kingdom people, the Trumpy agenda, the antisemitic crowd, the arguers over strategy, the Sojourners, and the wokey evangelicals. There isn’t much salt left, and whatever is left lacks flavor. The solution is the same—churches doing Matthew 28:20 and 2 Timothy 3:17. Download the episode MP3 here:...

What’s a Girl to Do? - Young Women’s Panel on Singleness

Average marriage age for women has increased from 21 to 29 over just a few decades. What’s a girl to do in her single years? Christian young women aren’t interested in the Lalaland purpose for life. They’re looking forward to developing more of a family economy in the future. They want to employ the talents, hone the gifts, and prepare for the future. They would rather serve others, build relationships, and deny self than to serve self. How is this to be done given the challenges of the modern s...

Christians in the World - Pushed Out of the Game

Back in the early 2000s, there was a rising persecuting force against Christians in America, but as of now, it has gotten much worse. When it comes to addressing the sin of homosexuality and transgenderism in particular, the push-back against Christians who are expressing their faith and speaking the truth is intense. It's good for Christians to remember that if the world of lust and pride doesn't love you, this is a good position to be in. A Christian's values lie in the truth of God's Word, wh...

Euthanasia — The Not-So-Good Death

Euthanasia is gaining steam around the Western world. Every birth-imploding, abortion-saturated nation is moving in this direction, with both American and the post-Christian European nations opening the door to it one after another. Unless there’s a shift in the churches, there will be no avoiding the holocaust of mass euthanasia that is coming. So what is the worldview behind euthanasia? How should we view suffering and the purpose of suffering? Are we really in a position to determine what the...

Supreme Court Nixes Private School Funding - No Government Funds for Christian Curriculum

An Oklahoma Catholic school was refused government funding due to its ideology and worldview taught in the curriculum. The US Supreme Court concurred, finally acknowledging that only a secular humanist curriculum may be supported by tax dollars. The state would have to impose limits on curriculum choices. Two points. Education is not neutral. And education must reside under parental funding and control. Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250529...

Head Coverings for Women Who Pray and Prophesy - Out of Vogue, But What Does the Bible Say?

The New Testament has little to say about external symbols and rituals. Men are to pray with the lifting up of holy hands. But what is this 1 Corinthians 11 bit on head coverings for women? We discuss the history of it, the 0.06 percent of protestants that still require it, and the biblical data on the subject. Is it really a cultural issue if the angels are concerned with it, and if the creation ordinance is reintroduced? What if women never pray or prophesy at the church? Is the woman’s hair a...

Twisted Charity and the Democrats - Free Hired Killers for Your Babies

Our governments have provided free hired killings for parents who want to murder their own children, and they are calculating how much money they could save if they knocked off a few thousand elderly by euthanasia. But we insist that this is not true charity. This is the weird, twisted charity of the Democrats. A few Republicans are coming to realize that whatever our society doing with the redistribution of the wealth is unsustainable. The only solution is to cut Medicaid and Medicare, but that...

Christian Camp Forced into Transgenderism - Worldview News in Review

We cover the Colorado transgender nightmare and contemplate attempts to reverse Obergefell. But be encouraged. Bad ideologies don’t last all that long—60 to 70 years max. We include a little history lesson to gain perspective here. The Darwinist eugenics and superior race theories were smashed to smithereens in 1945. The witchcraft and seances of early 19th century America were tossed into hell by 1865. These movements were outrageously popular, but they didn’t last long. Jesus reigns. Download ...
