Some 86% of Christian parents are concerned with their children’s spiritual development. But, will they pull their kids out of schools that teach the wrong religion or the wrong worldview? Why is the zeitgeist going after the three largest animated children’s film franchises in history? How is it that Fox News finally agrees with the Generations ministry after ten years of going after Frozen , How to Train Your Dragon , Beauty and the Beast , etc.?

Victor Orban gets a fourth term in Hungary politics—and this nation is showing improvements by economy, by economic freedoms, and by abortion policies. That's according to the standard of God's law. We refresh our "Evil Index" and identify the most evil nations on earth—which turns out to be Greenland, North Korea, Afghanistan, and Russia. Some nations are showing vast degrade, like South Africa. Other nations, like Hungary and Poland, have shown vast improvements according to the standards of G...

Here we interact with an honest admission from the producer/writer of The Chosen. Are we content with "leaning on" the humanity of Jesus vs. the deity of Jesus in the Mormon-produced TV series? Does the nature and person of Christ really matter, or can we subject the faith to reductionism? And, do Mormons and Evangelicals "love the same Jesus," as Dallas Jenkins has testified? As the faith dies out with modern evangelicalism, this is a good time to be discerning. Can we really afford to characte...

It's a Corinthian society—a sexualized society out there—and your children are in the gun sights of the perverted zeitgeist. Here is a shocking expose of the history of sexual education, and the inroads humanist categories and education have had into Christian churches. Did Christians buy into the Alfred Kinsey agenda? We get right to the practical matter though, and offer ten tips on how not to and how to talk to your kids about God's gift of marital intimacy. Sensitive material. Recommended fo...

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Kris Kobach , attorney with Alliance for Free Citizens , about his lawsuit on behalf of 36 Airmen who have been denied a religious exemption from the COVID-shot mandate. Based on Scripture, they object to the use of aborted fetal tissue in the development of the COVID shots. As he explained in his Breitbart column entitled Airmen Lawsuit Illustrates the Madness of Biden’s Vaccine Mandates , Kobach notes that the mandate violates the Religious Freedom Restoratio...

There is much to learn from the Hillsong implosion, especially for those who have plugged in to Hillsong music. But . . . here's the big takeaway: Brian Houston was embarrassed by Rugby All-Star, Izzy Folau, three years ago . . . for Folau's calling sinners to repentance. Now, we're embarrassed by Brian Houston. And, Izzy Folau is back in the game, and Brian is out. For all of us . . . Will we be a scandal to the world for sinful behavior? Or will we be a scandal to the world for our faithfulnes...

The Federal Reserve and the other central banks have pretty much managed to mess up the world economy. When increasing your quantitative easing from $5 trillion in 2008 to $32 trillion just 14 years later . . . driving inflation rates into the stratosphere, with bond rates in the toilet, now how do you fix that? Man seeks ultimate control over systems. When governments find that they have fouled up everything with the controls already given them . . . now they seek increased levels of control to...

The US Supreme Court nominee is supposed to be the first black woman on the high court, but she's not sure what is a woman, or that she is a woman. Can Supreme Court nominees answer basic questions like, "What is a cat?" or "What is a Judge?" or "What is a woman?" We consider Judge Ketanji Jackson's answers to the question when life begins, but it turns out she holds to two religions at the same time. One religion is okay with killing babies, and the other is not okay with killing babies. So . ....

What would constitute a healthy church? What's the core element or emphasis we are looking for at a time when humanism is raging as hard as it is in the church? It's a God-focus, a God-knowledge, a God-centeredness, vs. a man-centeredness. But what does this look like? Here's an engaging conversation on what constitutes a healthy church on this edition of Generations.

Here is a follow-up to the program on the church that won't take the contra-mundum stance against the world on woke, feminism, humanism, humanist schools, sexual autonomy, etc. etc. Here are eight reasons to leave a church, plus two, for the consideration of our listenership, and a bit on how to leave a church.

Toy Story now goes totally woke, but the big story is the ends to which the “gay” Borg will go, in order to grab the hearts of the children. The Behind-the-Scenes story on the lesbian scene in “Lightyear” betrays the level of commitment to which the Zeitgeist applies to indoctrinating children. How do Christian families react to Disney and Pixar now? If there was any question ten years ago, now all Christian families are convinced this has all turned into a cess pool of woke and sexual perversio...

We run through the last 100 years of New World Orders and demonstrate the futility of man’s attempt to find peace without Christ. What is proposed here is a social order . . . a political order . . . a guarantee for world peace, and a better life for everybody. What is assumed by the UN charter is an “ethic” and “rights” we can all agree on, which we don’t; and that human governments have the ability and the sovereign control over the outcome to bring about the objective . . . which they can’t. ...

Kevin Swanson attends the Bad Abortion Bill hearing at the Senate Judiciary Committee, and here's the take away: There is no fear of God before their eyes, and "your story" is all that matters. Whether you killed the kid or saved the child, "your story" is everything, and they want to hear it. Sartre rules now. Choice defines essence, which precedes existence. However, Sartre represents the decline of civilization, just a brief postponement of cultural suicide.

While the faith is dying out in the Western world, some are rushing to water down the gospel in order to make it palatable for those running away from it. Will this watered-down gospel presentation produce any good fruit? Why not press the gospel claims of Christ hard? Why not call men "sinners" and call them to repentance like Jesus and John the Baptist did? Why not make it hurt? Is this the time to water down the gospel? Or is it the time to present the gospel with even more clarity and force?...

Another Great Awakening comes about with the outrageously popular religion promoted by women shaking free of husbands, finding freedom in the all-about-me worldview. It’s the ministry of Hester Prynne, first envisioned by Nathaniel Hawthorne in “The Scarlet Letter.” This program also takes a look at the positives and negatives involved with Charlotte Mason’s teachings.

So, the feds used Christian leaders like N.T. Wright, Ed Stetzer, the Gospel Coalition's Joe Carter, Pastors Tim Keller, Rick Warren, and Russell Moore to push the party line on Covid vaccines and protocol. Pastor John MacArthur was out of the fellowship, and these other guys crowded in. So what is the lure of statism for these Christian leaders, that they would snuggle up so close with the likes of Dr. Francis Collins? The rise of statism really is testing the hearts. We also consider the quest...

Andy Stanley airs his doubts about infallibility and the authority of Scripture, but still wants to hold on to a shred of evidentialism for the Gospel of Luke. The slippery slope of evidential apologetics gives way to full-bore faithlessness in the ongoing apostasy of the West. This gets us back into the basis for truth and the fundamentals of our faith. Why believe God's Word? What is a good basis for believing something is true, especially when it comes to the fundamental questions relating to...

Doomsday bunkers are selling like hotcakes in quite a few nations around the world. Terms like "Nuclear War" and "World War III" are being batted around now. Russia has enough nukes to wipe out at least 7% of the world's population. Economics without the fear of God, science sans the fear of God, is not producing a stable society anymore. Crisis is the moment that tests our worldviews—what do we really, really believe of the things we know about God and His Sovereignty?

Paul exhorts Titus to go after the Cretan sins because soundness in the faith must include a rebuke on societal sins and repentance. Alas, this is all but missing in churches that are strong on a narrow band of piety and externalisms. Pastors worth their salt must go after the sins of the day, the foundational worldview issues, critical race theory, economic sins, abortifacients, and the utter apostasy of the public school. Why do they avoid worthwhile controversies, while tripping over less-imp...

America is splitting down the middle on abortion, and the epistemological self-consciousness is only heightening as the reversal of Roe v. Wade approaches. The chasm between those who want to kill babies, slice them up, and sell off their body parts . . . and those that don't is growing. And the pollsters tell us the clustering element of voters (Republicans and Democrats) has quadrupled in eight years. Republicans are moving away from liberal states to Republican states. A nation divided agains...

Relationships are almost always in need of healing, but some have come out of World War III, and they suffer from relational PTSD to the fifth power. How does the Gospel bring about forgiveness, healing, and even reconciliation for extremely wounded relationships? Author Rob Rienow powerfully shares from his own experience of how God brings about amazing restoration, and provides the supernatural ability to forgive.

Young minds can be formed by good, solid, Christian discipleship—or they can be formed by hundreds of fictional novels cranked off the presses . . . books that teach kids about the glories of death and the isolation of existentialist man. The books that receive accolades and awards feature witches, vampires, serial killers, abandonment, and death. Cain has a little production company east of Eden, and now the kids have become the target market. On this edition of the program, we discuss the impo...

This age is made up of the ultimately skeptical, the cynical, and loss confidence in all things establishment — yet, still willing to believe that which is dubious to the extreme. What gives? When self becomes the greater arbiter and information is conceived as power to the individual, there is nothing that can harness his pride or certainty in self. We take up the question of the Book of Enoch, the Flat Earth hypothesis, and the dubious in general on this segment of Generations.

Christian colleges took another hit from the US Supreme Court, and it doesn’t look like Gorsuch or Roberts is doing them any favors (at least in the Gordon College case). Will the Christian college commit to sacred knowledge or secular knowledge built up on human reason? The US Supreme Court is forcing the issue, finally after 800 years of Aquinas. Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court is moving towards 44% women leadership. And we observe that the Isaiah 3 curse is almost precisely what the whole wor...

The short tyrant's last-ditch, pitiful attempt to get empire status for Russia reminds us of that other short fellow and his last-ditch attempt to regain some stature for the French Empire in the early 19th century. We talk here of the wars of the nations, and the reasons why Europe, Russia, and the West are collapsing. It was Russia's fault. This nation has suffered the largest population implosion of all of them because of what happened in 1920, and Humpty Dumpty simply cannot reverse the dest...

And it's time to build Christian community, which starts with the local church . . . and at core—our worship. And you can't build a Christian community without Christian education.
