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.

Chick-fil-A Supports Worst Causes

This may be the most rapid and radical capitulation in history for an organization. Chick-fil-A waffled. While the organization was closed on Sunday and wanted to honor God, their business doubled in size. But now, will they fear God or fear the zeitgeist or the LGBT Borg? We take up an important question—do Christian employers discriminate on transgenderism, moral issues, and character issues when hiring? Do they hire on competence of character? Do they use hiring as an opportunity for evangeli...

The Power of Scripture Memory

The Psalm 1 picture of the godly man involves a meditation on the law of God day and night. This is especially important in a day like ours in which there is little time and resources dedicated to what a godly man does. Jeremy Kluth has dedicated his life to memorizing Scripture and encouraging others to the same thing. How do we assist our families in memorization? Here are a variety of creative, helpful hints for this extremely important element of family discipleship in the Word of God....

Boston, MA: Where It All Began

Here, we run over a quick history lesson. Boston, Massachusetts, was where it all began in 2003. And, here we are back to where it began all over again. Harvard University, Cambridge, Sommerville, Boston . . . that's where Obergefell began. That's where the next round is happening. It turns out that Roberts’ and Alito's predictions were dead on, that is, in the minority report for the Obergefell ruling. But here's the question that keeps occurring to us. What use is it to rush into the courtroom...

National Media Goes After Homeschooling

The Washington (Com)Post introduces a series of articles intended to go after homeschooling, beginning with a few dissatisfied homeschool grads they scraped up from somewhere. Actually, based on a large survey, it turns out 14% of Christian kids raised in homeschool apostatized. But 28% of Christian kids who went to Christian school apostatized, and 34% of public schoolers apostatized. But how does this happen? While God is sovereign over all fruit-bearing plants in the field, there are some les...

Christian Community - The Jesus Way

Barna's recent study finds a super majority of Americans AND Christians have a negative view of megachurches and mega pastors. But also, evangelicals are not liked either. But, why the trend? About half of evangelicalism moved into large megachurches between 1970 and 2014. But, Jesus's view of Christian community goes beyond the superficiality and transience of modern life. The body of Christ is perpetually wounded. Christ's community involves 490 forgivenesses, persecutions at the hands of the ...

Authoritarianism and Sovereignty of Man

Secular media is having a heyday going after the Christian ministries linked to scandals taking place with the Duggar family and Hillsong. While you can't count on the Washington [com]Post to rightly discern the issues surrounding Ananias and Saphira (or any other problem in the church), we want to be sure that we identify the ditches into which Christians may fall. We point out the ditches of antinomianism and legalism, both of which end in catastrophe. Theology matters. Authoritarianism and th...

When Christians Encounter Human Trafficking

When faced with gross injustice and the most inhumane treatment of children, and the sharp rise in human trafficking (or the injustice of abortion), where does this awareness go? Do hearts callous over and turn cold? Awareness without action will only breed apathy. So don't listen to this program if you are not really on board with the Micah 6:8 mandate. How do we speak about these injustices with our children? How will we raise them with a heart for God's justice . . . and mercy?

A 50-Year Career, 25,000 Murders

This may be the most notorious killer in history in terms of longevity and record of kills (performed by his own hand). Warren Hern is an abortionist operating in Colorado since 1972. Hitler was 13 years at it. Lenin was 7 years at it. Mao was 28 years at it. Yet, a surprising honest article from The Atlantic discovers Hern to have had a conscience. He is human. He celebrates Christmas. He holds a flimsy ethical justification, as if this is enough of a defense for the day of judgment. Here is a ...

​ Fox News Outed as Woke

Fox News has been outed as committed to the Woke/Transgender agenda. But Sean Hannity is still hanging in there. We offer three reasons why conservativism is the wrong worldview for Christians. While the honor of tradition can be helpful and an extension of common grace, there are three problems with conservative media and politics. Fake conservatives will oppose drag queens for 6-year-olds, but they're still okay with kinky pornography for 26-year-olds . . . and William Shakespeare's homosexual...

Big Blue City Bleed

The big blue cities like New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago are losing millions, and the trend continued well into 2022. New York City is looking more like a gigantic ghost town, especially with the depopulation of office space. A full twenty-six Empire State Buildings could fit into New York City's empty office space. All of this is good news for those who have watched the blue cities corrupt themselves for too long. The Babel principle kicks in with the trend toward decentralization, ex...

Top 10 Most Dangerous Books

Here is a list of the top 10 most dangerous books used in typical highschool (and college) literature programs. These are highly influential and insidious classics that must be carefully discerned and considered by a worldview analysis. Included on the list are The Call of The Wild , Frankenstein , Of Mice and Men , and others. These books mark the Christian apostasy or the apologetics department for atheistic secularism and the nihilism of the day. Let us not approach this stuff like the babe i...

The Abusive Wife: Ministering to the Contentious Woman

The sins of wives are just as important as the sins of husbands in the biblical counseling room. Dr. David Edgington is the author of the book, "The Abusive Wife: Ministering to the Contentious Woman." He calls this a major problem in the present feminist-driven culture. There is hope for husbands and wives caught in this terrible cycle of the biblically-defined sin of reviling.

Good News—Secularism R.I.P.

Christian leaders like Rod Dreher, Al Mohler, and Douglas Wilson are seriously grappling with the question. What next? What happens at the burial of a burned-out secularism? Are we salvaging or rebuilding? But more importantly, are we optimistic or pessimistic? Shall we get bound up in questions over the short-term end game? What if we don’t make much progress in our own lifetimes? What if our eschatological expectations or ministry goals are not met? What are the things Jesus has taught us to r...

The End of Secularism Approaches

The end of these secular empires is quickly approaching, and the left is reading the handwriting on the wall. The two leading US presidential candidates for the Republicans in the 2024 election are still closely supported by Christian nationalists. The tired old accusation against Christians, for wanting to obliterate the separation of church and state, has returned again in a NYT article. What Christian do you know wants the state to control the church, or pastors/pope to veto bills passed by s...

The Gender Gap in the Church

Where are the men? The gender gap for single women to single men in the church is a dismal 77%-23%, at least on one metric. Why are men in apostasy? We need a man revival. We need a miracle here. Who is to blame for the sins of men? Who is to blame for the sins of women? Where will revival come?

Were Things Better Off in 1970?

How often do people comment that things were better off back in the good 'ol days? Certainly the seeds planted in the 1960s and 1970s have produced a stinking bad crop. Only the Democrats are excited about the ruined socio-economic system. But altogether considered, the remnant of faith is toughening, the hymnody is more robust and less sentimental, and Franklin Graham is telling it the way it is. Flaky churches are going away. The ra-ra mega church doesn't last as long as it used to.

Abortion Kill Pill Dangers

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Ingrid Skop , a Christian pro-life obstetrician in San Antonio, Texas about the dangers of the Abortion Kill Pill . 53% of mothers who abort today use chemical abortion instead of surgical abortion. As the Medical Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute , she documents that in 2020 alone, 500,000 American mothers aborted their unborn babies by taking the Abortion Kill Pill. 25,000 of them either had to go to the emergency room or required additional surg...

Christian Companies Gone Woke

Some of the most conservative Christian companies in the country turn into the most evil companies in America—to include Walmart, Target, Alaska Airlines, and eHarmony. How does this happen? We walk through the cycle of faith and character, blessing, decadence, and judgment that marks the way of nations and corporations. How do colleges contribute to the pride, the liberalization, the sapping of the fear of God, and the killing of faith?

Why Television Is So Insidious . . . and Liberal

No tool has been used to corrupt the nations more than television. The visual medium is powerful, and the way sin is portrayed by this means can be extremely dangerous. We cover the various ways in which to portray sin, landing on the right Biblical approach.

A Word to Christian Wokies

Reparations for all the sins committed by every nation and every tribe on Earth over the last 6,000 years would cost $800 quadrillion plus. There is no atonement possible for the woke religion. The severity of Marxist Wokies allows for no mercy on themselves or anybody else. But, what does God's law say about the great-great-great grandchildren paying for the sins of their great-great-great grandfathers? The California governor has announced his definition of the original sin, but this has nothi...

What Killed Kentucky

West Virginia rates #4 on the Evil Index, and Kentucky clocks in at #9 on the worst states. These states represent the model for breaking the character of a nation. The lesson is clear for the church—it's time to make a total break from all government welfare programs and return to the biblical model.

Should Christian Kids Be in Public School?

Do we really want to take all the salt and light out of the public schools by removing our Christian kids? And what about socialization? How will homeschooling kids ever survive in a world where they haven't learned to hang out with a peer group? You have heard the common questions and the arguments. We provide some answers on this edition of the program.

Gen Z Is the Last Generation

It's the broken generation . . . the hopeless generation. . . . They call them the Gen Z generation for a reason. It is the last generation. These have lost the will to continue a civilization—to get married, have children, and live in a sane world. They are homosexual. They have embraced homosexuality. They have lost interest in the nuclear family. But ultimately, they have lost hope. There is only one way to redeem this.

Board Room Delirium - Gone Woke

The corporate wokies appeared to have lost all grasp on reality at multiple levels. The free market is sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. The board room has abandoned all rationality for woke, whether it be sex change operations or the value of Apple. But how shall we then live? What are God's people to do? Revelation 18 comes to mind.

The Coronation of Charles lll

The coronation of Charles III marks the end of an era. Although Charles will take an oath to follow God's law in the pattern of Athelstan, that is not the direction set anymore to this post Christian country. We take a moment to appreciate what God did for England over 1,000 years.

Why Should We Pursue a Biblical Worldview?

The world has faced crisis before, and it is facing crisis today. Worldviews matter when crisis hits. Naturalistic, atheistic, materialistic worldviews are tested and found wanting during times of crisis. They’re insufficient to bring hope or explain the basic questions of life. Kevin Swanson interviews Jeff Myers on the importance of a biblical worldview on this edition of Generations.

Abandoning Faith for Prosperity

Does prosperity bring happiness? Does education bring prosperity? That's the question addressed on this segment of Generations. South Korea is abandoning the Christian faith as the country grows more prosperous—and this is especially so among the younger generation. Evangelical churches saw a 20% drop off in church membership over the last 10 years. Church attendance with the largest denominations across the nation dropped from 17.8% to 13.6% between 2011 and 2021. The country may have the faste...

Stock Buybacks, Debt, and You

As we glance over the final chapter of the US economy, we witness the last-ditch efforts on the part of corporate America and the US government to keep the behemoth alive. The pitiful efforts on the part of Apple, Chevron, Bed Bath and Beyond, Visa, Discover, Nike, Cisco, Walmart, Morgan Stanley, and Home Depot looks a lot like the final chapter of the US government spending. There is an appearance of value, but less and less substance to it every day. The deficits/GDP and debt servicing are all...

The Most Evil State in the US

Here are the summary findings to our study on "The Evil Index for the US States." Which is the most evil state in America on the basis of violations of the 6th, 7th, and 8th commandments? Which is the best state? Taking a biblical worldview assessment of public policy and the moral state of the people, which is the worst and which is the best? Here are some surprises. What contributes to the unrestrained evil? Whatever happened to the salt?

Tucker Carlson’s Last Talk

Tucker Carlson didn't last long as the top-rated program for Fox News. The zeitgeist pulled him quick when a little truth about the more significant matters began slipping out around the edges. Was he pushing a little too hard on prayer and some kind of fear of God in that Heritage Foundation talk last Friday? Here we play a segment of Tucker Carlson's last address before he was on ice, and review the history of conservative media as it came on strong in the late 1980s. What is the Christian per...
