Will Christian community be characterized as a retreat center or a saltshaker? Will it be a ghetto or an army camp? Will it be distributing special grace or common grace? Will we escape the world, or will we overcome the world? What are the words used to describe Christian community in Scripture? What is the strategy for developing Christian community, and what is the relationship of the family to the church and the world out there? Why do Christians seek out a comfort zone, and settle into a re...

For those who are asking the question—What is AI, and should I be concerned? Here is a simple introduction to General AI and Narrow AI. For those who have the right worldview (a biblical worldview), here is the best interpretation of this man-invented system promising for the world another Tower of Babel. How does the Christian interact with it? Does the Christian family unplug from the matrix?

The American Bible Study poll found that 86 percent of US adults believe the nation is in moral decline, but what percent are contributing to it? And what are the reasons for it? But why the increase in the grossest manifestations of immorality? We suggest that sexual sin is encouraged by every one of our social institutions—political, educational, and cultural; and pretty much all restraints have been taken away. The inevitable result of all of this is more tyranny, or just plain divine judgmen...

The city of Minneapolis has approved of five-times-a-day public announcements for Islamic prayer. Islam is thought to be the fastest growing religion in the world, especially attractive among liberals. But why? The post-Christian world appears enthusiastic about anything that opposes the Christian faith, obviously. Why does Islam fill the vacuum left by a vacuous worldview like atheistic materialism?

Between 1989 and 2022, Disney's impact on America (as a percentage of the GDP) grew a whopping fifty-fold. The effects are pretty impressive, especially with the 14- to 24-year-old crowd. But what is the solution for parents? Go to a church that warns its members about Disney and assorted media that is geared towards stumbling children? What about your children interacting with other neighborhood children or church children whose families do not share your media standards?

The American Psychological Association has concluded that traditional masculinity is toxic to the nation. Competitiveness, male aggression, achievement, and risk are seen as threatening and toxic to the present social milieu. Do we really like "traditional" masculinity if that means able machismo and a tendency to want to commit sexual sin? What is true biblical masculinity? This is the crying need of the day—godly men, mature men, and men who are ready to lead in the family. We recommend this p...

The most critical part of a homeschool curriculum must be . . . what? History. But how do you know you are teaching the RIGHT history? We go through some of the basics, drawing in Andrew Jackson, Samuel Worcester, Sheridan, Hitler, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Eisenhower and the Warren Court. Be sure to hear the stories, but be sure you are aware of the absolutely indispensable elements of an essential, comprehensive, right-worldview-based history curriculum.

Conservatives are beginning to point to the spiritual realm as something of an active force in today's zeitgeist. It's hard to ignore the singular, phenomenal power these forces have had over the masses. . . . The rapidity at which these powers moved and the extent to which they achieved worldwide conquest was astounding. The whole operation took place over barely 70 years. Nothing short of a supernatural power could have brought this about. Rod Dreher, Jonathan Cahn, and Naomi Wolf all speak to...

China wants to preserve its national cultural identity. Russia wants to preserve its national cultural identity. The Muslim countries have a strong sense of cultural and religious identity. But the USA and Europe have abandoned their traditional Christian roots. They have become rootless, multicultural experiments, with the hope that internationalism will save them. Eastern Orthodox countries are retaining some traditional morality. But why are the Protestant countries turning into the worst cou...

Gradually, the sexual revolution has taken down the country—and the transition for fornication occurred in 2004, the transition for homosexual marriage occurred in 2015, but what about transgenderism? The zeitgeist appears to have smacked against the wall. Have the Sexual Vandals gone a step too far? Public support for transgenderism has dropped off since 2017. The enthusiasm is waning, but not so much with Budweiser, the corporate minions, the cultural regulators, and the country music televisi...

Games. Porn. Slothfulness. Escapism. Drugs. Aimlessness. Whether the boy has grown up in a Christian church, Christian school, or a homeschooling family . . . high percentages of young men are wandering aimlessly, spiritually anemic, or dead . . . and there's not much a homeschooling mom can do for him anymore. Now what? Aaron Boldman from HelpMyBoy.com has had 22 years of experience with hundreds of young men like this. What do these boys need more than anything else?

There are 774,000 psychiatrists and secular counselors in the US, and only 29,900 pastors. So what is this worldview that predominates now in our post-Christian nations? But how is this religion of naturalism-materialism-humanism (with its varied definitions of man's problems and solutions) working out? Not very well. Wrong ideas have bad consequences and perpetuate bad consequences. Create more problems in order to fund more solutions.

Americans are increasingly losing patriotism but embracing big government socialism. They don't like their country, but they rather favor the government, especially if it's a real big government that promises to solve their problems for them. Americans are losing interest in faith in God, family, children, community, and relationships in favor of self-definition, self-worship, self-everything, isolation, and gender dysphoria. The slide in values appears to be accelerating (just over the last 3 y...

The US Supreme Court turned the decision on abortion back over to the people in the respective states with the reversal of Roe v. Wade. America is failing the test. We have failed to achieve 6 pro-life initiatives or referendums so far, involving elections in Kentucky, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Montana. Wisconsin's vote on the Supreme Court justice was a landslide this week, in strong favor of abortion (in the ballot box). Kevin Swanson estimates that there are about 6 pro-life states left. It’s ha...

For the first time in modern history, the majority of Americans are abandoning the idea that college is the key to success. It turns out success has far more to do with life experience, good mentorship, and the development of character and faith, than it does with endless ventures into forming a wayward knowledge built up on humanist reason. The Democrat-to-Republican ratio among college professors is now a whopping 8.5 to 1, and among younger professors 10.5 to 1, and among female professors 16...

Can Christians engage their communities? How can they do this? Is it possible to be salt and light, and offer a preserving element of common grace in a local community by owning and controlling a small-town newspaper? How does a Christian report the truth of the matter, if the truth is defined as God defines it? Kevin Swanson speaks with his brother concerning his 30-year venture into journalism.

Amidst the political wrangling, the immoral chaos, the absence of much justice in the courts, and the general craziness of religious opinions about everything, here we try to make biblical and rational sense of the indictment of the former president of the United States. Are Republicans and conservative Christians a bunch of hypocrites, as one meme-er is want to say? It's a good question, and we take it up here.

The transgenderism cult appears to be taking over the world right now, with all of its attendant psychological disorders, frenzy, insanity, and violence. What is this thing, and where did it start up in the modern world? We begin in Germany in the 1890s, and discover the first transgender surgery in 1930, and then the first child taken up into it in 1987 (in Holland). Germany is the breeding ground for the frenzy, insanity, and violence that ends up in two world wars. But what will it produce fo...

The leading evangelical voices in the world today are man like Brian Houston, who formed Hillsong. Houston is fighting a DUI charge in California, while dealing with allegations of debauchery relating to his behavior in the church. Four of the top 10 worship songs for this generation belong to Hillsong. But what makes for such a powerless Christianity? And, what were those prerequisites for leadership in the church as laid down in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1? But could the problem be more fundamenta...

The cultural divide in America is increasingly severe and now erupting in senseless violence at a Christian school in Nashville. School violence has always existed, but the problem is twenty-times worse today than it was during the 1950s. Sexual anarchy and gender anarchy will give birth to other forms of anarchy. Child killing in the womb gives birth to other forms of child killings. There is also an embitterment towards the Christian faith that arises among apostates who leave the faith, which...

We talk about discipleship. But, not many have done it for forty years with the sort of results that Jim Stump has seen. He's not a mega-church pastor. He's not a radio personality. For decades now, he has discipled young men at Stanford from a restaurant table, fourth from the window in the back. And, hundreds of young men have gone out and discipled others, who have discipled others. . . . And that's the power of One on One. This may be the most powerful interview we've conducted on this radio...

Witchcraft is on the rise in the Western world—it’s affecting Western nations now more than ever before. There were about 8,000 witches in America in 1990. According to a recent study, there are now 1.5 million in the US today. On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack address the topic of witchcraft and the spiritual fall of America.

The famous atheist Richard Dawkins lost his Humanist of the Year Award for his lack of self-consistency to the doctrine of humanist autonomy and the LGBT insanity. He's not the only one blackballed by the establishment. Christians have been pushed out of Arizona public schools because they tout a worldview that opposes all the rest, but especially the worldview of the US Governments. Will Christians be more and more cut out of civil society?

Here is a good picture of what the US and Europe will look like in 2050. The story of Japan is a poignant one—as we learn about the first child to be born in this village of 6,000 in 25 years! The abortions, the Ponzi schemes, the socialism, the death culture, the existentialist, self-centered nightmare, and the destruction of marriage and family will come home to roost on humanity. But, what will the Christians do?

How are Christians to be wise, prudent, charitable, and appropriate in consideration of and support for Donald Trump? What must we do with the rumors, the news reports, the political wranglings, the corrupt legal system, etc.? Our chief concern is less political than spiritual. Our main interest is for his salvation.

The Academy's Oscar awards have finally tipped into full-bore nihilism for good—at least 3 out of the last 4 years. There was a little of it in 2007 and 1977 with Woody Allen's contribution. But, the avant garde film critics are now pretty well embedded in utter hopelessness and total commitment to a nihilist worldview. We compare the worthless Best Picture of 2022 with a Christian film that has garnered twice the interest with the audience.

The history of bank runs and fractional reserve banking begins with a murderer/economist who lends a little help to the King of France. After the bank runs, John Law ran for the border. Nowadays, the Federal Reserve steps in to save the whole larcenous system . . . over and over and over again. But what does this do to the national character when irresponsible, feckless, unscrupulous, fractional-reserve banks fail, after which they are rescued by the federal government (which is tied up into the...

Fifty-six percent of Americans consider the Woke religion in a positive light. But what is this new awakening? This new religion has its own law-system, its own form of atonement and penance, and its own rituals. It’s all pretty random, and has nothing to do with the biblical faith, of course. But is this wayward faith so off-the-rails that its promulgators should be excommunicated from faithful Christian churches?

Primitive tribes, whether in the jungles of Ecuador or the suburbs of Chicago, have often taken up the cultural practice of nudity (or even cannibalism). Modern evangelicals will place such matters under the rubric of culture. We bring out the biblical view of nudity and distinguish between cultural elements and the moral element. How does one disciple the primitive peoples?
