Here’s another huge breakthrough for creationists with access to databases’ Y-chromosome mutations across cultures, throughout the whole world. Now every person can be traced back to Japheth, Ham, and Shem, Noah’s three sons. When did the native Americans end up in North and South America? Where were the original civilizations from which all others flow? Why did most white Europeans migrate from the “stans” in Central Asia? We look at the original research produced by a Harvard molecular biologi...

We trace the zeitgeist in American film—the market has moved from real people to fake people to dead people. The horror genre is replacing the escape genre which replaced drama, comedy, and adventure film of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Now, Satanic and horror films increasingly dominate box office takings. The rise of euthanasia in the medical world comes with it, as Canada leads the world in killing people. We also take a quick look at the slippery slope argument, and how it just might ...

The Rock and Roll revolution started in America with Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis, with roots in Pentecostal churches. Here is another story of Americana, which ends with the unleashing of a sexual revolution, undoubted demonic influence, and what may or may not be repentance at the end. We cover Jerry Lee Lewis, and the recent biographies of Johnny Cash and his spiritual journey and questions posed at the end of his life. Here’s the takeaway: America has deep Christian roots. America is in apostas...

The fossil record touted for human evolution is evaporating, year after year, decade after decade, post-Darwin. The media hype isn’t quite enough to keep the theory on life support. Neanderthal turned out to be fully human. Ardipithecus ramidus turned out to be an ape. Naledi turned out to be an ape-like creature more recently gone extinct—not the missing link everybody had hoped for. Turkana boy turned out to be fully human. Lucy was a knuckle walker after all. The evidence has gone up in smoke...

Communism and socialism has captured South America, Central America, North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. It's called "the pink tide," taking Brazil by storm over the weekend. Will freedom survive anywhere? But what about Liz Truss and Trump? Conservative push back is extremely short-term and unsubstantial. But why? We provide three reasons why we lose. How will Christians move ahead, given the rising persecution inevitably coming out of the post-Christian era?

How are you handling media in your family? Social media? Music? Movies? Never has media had such a toxic effect on families as it does today. The media can be a powerful tool or a devastating destructive device. There are no options but to become better discerning, better equipped, and better informed. Here's how that can happen.

Guest host Adam McManus examines a recent talk by David Barton , founder of WallBuilders , in which he explained that most Christians are only two-thirds Christians. They treasure only two of God’s three institutions–the family and the church. But, to their peril, they ignore the importance and influence of the civil government. Forty million Evangelical Christian are not even registered to vote. And, on Election Day, too few Christians show up to cast an informed ballot. We need to be fully thr...

Church attendance has dropped off 60% in just 13 years!!! The discouragement is overwhelming for US pastors and church members. Respect for pastors has dropped in half in just 13 years!!! It is just about the least-respected position in our society today. No wonder almost half of pastors want to quit. Kevin Swanson speaks from his own experience as we address the causes of burn out for pastors on this edition.

Europe is turning over to the Hindus and Muslims, and the Chinese Communists are getting tough now. What will post-Christian Europe and America do against the increasingly strident Chinese communists? The Christian influence in the world undergoes the ebb and flow process throughout the centuries. But, what does one do during the ebb? Do what John Wycliff did. That’s our encouragement for the remnant now.

A shocking report from George Barna finds that abortion is not even on the list of the top five concerns for evangelicals as we approach the 2022 elections. Gas prices come in at #1, inflation at #2, food prices at #3, crime and personal safety at #4, and protection from terrorism at #5. The selling of millions of baby lives for 30 cents on the gallon for gas prices doesn't settle well with us. Besides, Republicans caused inflation by QE, and now Republicans blame it on the Democrats. The hypocr...

These days, you will find plenty of psychiatrists, professional counselors, slick presenters, absent fathers, and professional administrators in homes and churches, but where are the shepherds? Kevin Swanson interviews Timothy Witmer regarding his book, "The Shepherd Leader at Home." If fatherhood (or shepherding) is the most desperate need of the day, how can we regain this vision?

It's not just pastors and missionaries that are responsible for discipling the nations and impacting society for Christ. There are viable opportunities out there for people in business, media, entertainment, and culture. Kevin Swanson initiates the conversation with Guy Rodgers from Pinnacle Forum on ways everyday Christians can bring their faith into the rest of life!

We struggle to describe the house of cards called the US economy on this edition of the program. The stock market has effectively already crashed. But, the volatility and general flakiness of the modern economy and society is beyond anything we've ever seen in modern history. Powerful governments were trying to fix economies by spending more and more money. They were trying to control the national economy by manipulating the interest rates. They had encouraged everybody into increasing levels of...

In this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss the upcoming holiday, Halloween. The Day of the Dead was first celebrated in opposition to God's judgement on the earth through the worldwide flood, and it continues to celebrate death. Should Christians fear ghosts and ghouls, or should they fear God? Should our focus be on death and horror or on the risen Christ who conquered death?

Kanye West is a professing Christian professing pro-life positions . . . but what can be said about his association with the lost tribes of Israel and his criticism of Jews? We take a look at the biblical view of the lost tribes and the reasons for anti-Semitism. Did the Jews bring down Western civilization, or was it sin and apostasy in general?

The predominant view among evangelicals and other Christians today is that the church is not essential anymore. Is that just another first step into apostasy? Is the body of Christ really essential? Can churches who lack church membership be considered a church at all? Jonathan Leeman makes the case for church membership and describes healthy church relationships in this important exchange.

His two stepbrothers, one of which was a Baptist pastor, insisted that Elvis was a Christian. But what is the overall trajectory of his life and career? Does a man's life affect his music? Do we merely judge by lyrics, or is there a lifestyle that plays into the popular cultural emanations? We can't answer the question as to the eternal destination of Elvis's soul, but we can identify certain external signs—church membership, lifestyle, life trajectory, last testimonies, and so forth. We are als...

"The current state of reproductive affairs can't continue much longer without threatening human survival," says epidemiologist Shanna Swan. Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are the worst for average Testosterone levels. Russia, Brazil, Mexico, India, Afghanistan, and most of Africa are way higher than the US and Europe. How's that going to work out for the future of world civilizations? It takes testosterone to build business . . . to fight wars . . . to defend countries . . . to go af...

Ex-Fed Chair Ben Bernanke gets the Nobel Prize for his last-ditch effort to defend Keyensian economics. We run over a few other nothing-burger Nobel prizes. Are these people really helpful, or is this more of the Emperor's-New-Clothes procession, where the clothes makers get all the awards? Without God, man doesn't do much good in science, economics, politics, or peace. Only Jesus brings substantial solutions.

What would George Washington think about the present entangling alliances and the American prosecution of the war against Russia? It’s a reasonable question, but not many would want to answer the question. Above all, this is a time to fear God, and yet there’s precious little of that left in this administration right now. The president is concerned about a possible Armageddon, but then why is the nation inviting it by its gross disobedience to the Almighty?

Here is the strange story of the mass infiltration of Marxism and Wokism into the modern church. Why does the enemy go after the seminaries first, and how will the church come through this present crisis? Once again, the root of the ethical confusion is the antinomianism in modern evangelicalism. Here is a summary of the new expose film on enemies in the PCA, the Southern Baptist Churches, and others.

The FBI is taking the side of the abortionists, and nothing is done about the assault on pro-life pregnancy centers. We estimate $60 million of damage, and not one arrest. Meantime, the FBI is busy arresting pro-lifers who prevented one person from getting an abortion. Then, Pastor John MacArthur is calling Governor Newsom to account for his no-holds-barred pro-abortion, pro-infanticide policies. Is the pastor in a position to do so? We look at the biblical basis.

Finally, the leading sane voices of the nation have spoken. It's time to abandon the public schools altogether. Franklin Graham, James Dobson, Dennis Prager, Rush Limbaugh, and Michael Reagan are telling Christian and conservative families to get the kids out . . . now. But what about the argument that the Puritans and pilgrims started up the public schools with the ol' Satan Deluder Act? Not so much. We provide the real history of the development of the messianic, state-funded schools here....

Christian social commentators are grappling with how to respond to the collapse of civilizations. The options are: resist and reform, accelerate the collapse, enjoy the decline, build an ark, and deny and proceed. One of the significant questions still to answer is whether we move more separatist on the separatist-puritan continuum. Here we review some of the weaknesses of separatism, especially in light of the early Pilgrim-Puritan experience.

And, the burnt fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the fire. Governments are always trying to make a soft landing for totally irresponsible, drunken-sailor financial conditions they've created over the last 40 years. The soft landing turns out to be more drunken-sailor, irresponsible spending . . . and quantitative easing. They don't want a crash . . . so they're doing everything in their power to prevent it . . . and keep the lemmings running off the cliff at a steady pace. We bring th...

God speaks, and we respond to the voice of God in the Word. But worship today is configured as authentic expression or an emotional experience. What is Biblical worship? Is it a formal liturgy or the informal guy in the t-shirt and tennis shoes having a conversation with us from the front of the stage? Can rejoicing and reverence be complementary in worship? Why is psalm singing so essential to the worship of the church today?

These are last-ditch efforts to salvage a civilization. . . . Politics can't do it. The Roman Church can't do it. But what about their first female Prime Minister—Europe's 16th female head of state? We take a look at the "fascist" invective, and then identify the failure of Italian civilization as the breakdown of faith and family.

Iranian Morality Police beat a woman to death for not getting her hijab on straight. But then, every nation has morality police. It's just a question of which morality is to be enforced. Should the civil magistrate fine people who don't bake cakes for homosexual weddings? What about putting a person in jail for starving their dog to death since dogs are "made in the image of God?" Nonetheless, higher levels of autocracy are found worldwide now that freedom is dying out. Only the Gospel and God's...

Almost 200 million views in four days for the new Netflix docu-series on Jeffrey Dahmer, for these fixated on the evil. But, even the final episode leaves out the real story, the real motive, the real explanation, the real insight provided in the NBC Stone Phillips interview. Although what's available from the 1994 interview has been heavily redacted, we have uncovered the explosive four minutes in the interview that explains the real motive of evil, and the only corrective to it. The world does...

Americans increasingly do not believe the church is essential. For this program Pastor Bill Shishko joins us to answer some basic questions. What's the focus of the church? Should the church focus on evangelism, worship, or discipleship? What constitutes a church? What's a healthy church? There are dysfunctional churches and then there are healthy churches. But healthy churches are not always pretty—they are usually in the midst of crisis and pretty bloodied up. But there is a growing robustness...
