Could democracy fix the problem with America, or maybe some sort of "right wing" dictator showing up for a day or a decade or two? The best way to address the economic disaster would be for 95% of Americans (both democrats and republicans) to get out of household debt and stop living beyond their means. But, now we're talking the hearts of the people again. . . . Yet, there are a few things governments could do to stave off total disaster. But alas, nobody wants to vote for that!
Recent surveys have come out concerning the religious affiliations of Biden and Trump, and a larger amount of Americans believe Biden to be more religious than Trump. However, this survey only measures a superficial religiosity. So many US presidents have been excellent at using religious language and showing a superficial interest in religion. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the wicked and righteous leaders of American history.
Roe was reversed in 2022, but not so the hearts of the people. Abortions in 2023 were way up, and so is the LGBT prevalence in the country. Telehealth abortions took close to 210,000 abortions into states where abortion was banned. It's hard to get these demons back into Pandora's box. Governments can't solve these problems now. Is brimstone and fire the only solution, or is there hope in the Gospel? But what if the hearts of the people changed? What if the hearts of the fathers turned to the ch...
This isn't the first report that boys are in trouble in our world today. The statistics aren't looking any better now. Eighty percent of children between 12 and 17 have seen pornography unintentionally, and children under 10 now account for 22% of online porn consumption under 18, according to this report. But, these reports shouldn't frighten or paralyze us. The US president can't fix this . . . but God can, first by working in the hearts of fathers and pastors.

Whenever nations go to war, we are pressed to take sides. Shall the US join ranks with Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Germany for the last world war or the next world war? Is it fair to say that some nations are better than others? We draw comparisons from World War II, and then close the discussion with Romans 3—safe ground.
Would you like scientific evidence for the worldwide flood which is described in Genesis 6-9? Guest host Adam McManus interviews Dr. Daniel Biddle , President of Genesis Apologetics , about a powerful new film in the movie theaters, on Wednesday, March 20th and Thursday, March 21st only, called “ The Ark and the Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah's Flood .” Using a panel of 11 experts, including those from Answers in Genesis , “The Ark and the Darkness” movie provides proof that: * Coal ...
The avant-garde in Hollywood is determined to corrupt the nation, but are they succeeding? The Academy went over 40 years before offering its Best Picture Award to an R-rated film. Recently, ten out of the last twelve Best Picture Awards have gone to R-rated movies. And, all five of the major academy awards this year were R-rated flicks. Kevin Swanson outlines biblical reasons why Christians must not fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness in the theater. Here are the deal killers—bad u...
The United States is in big trouble, as reflected by the leadership of the country. On this edition of the program, we review the recent State of the Disunion Address, note the renewed commitment to abortion, and revisit the discussion around inflation, debt spending, and IVF. We compare President Biden’s most recent address to his inaugural address, examining the differences from four years ago. We conclude by revisiting Biblical definitions of freedom and God’s requirements for a leader of a n...
The world presses a different world and life view on us . . . and it pressures us to live the wrong life, with wrong priorities, wrong perspectives, wrong motivations, wrong goals, and wrong expectations . . . and we wind up with the wrong schedule, doing the wrong things in life. The results are familiar to a lot of us . . . burn out, adrenal fatigue, overwhelming exhaustion, depression, panic attacks, emotional overload, anxiety, and extreme negativity. Kevin Swanson interviews David and Shona...
Oregon is the prime specimen for the George Soros case, and it's all pretty sad. After decriminalizing drugs, the legislature almost unanimously reversed course. Soros is only attempting to be more consistent to the worldview that rules the Western world today—and yes, the results are always destructive, extremely destructive, to human society. The more fundamental problems cannot be solved by governments, however. Anti-depressant use is ten-fold what it was in 1990. How does one solve the probl...
Taboos are a part of every society, partly due to the fact that societies always recognize a need to preserve themselves from things that will erode and destroy them. What response should Christians have when discussing certain sins and taboos? Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss Christian ethics on this edition of Generations.
An evangelical theologian informs us that: "All of us are responding to the progress of science and knowledge about planet Earth and having to adjust our interpretation of Scripture accordingly." When it comes a scientific hypothesis like fossil dating and the filtering of data through a heavily worldview-biased grid, shall the Christian have to surrender the biblical historical accounts? Will you interpret the Bible by wild scientific guesswork about how rock layers were laid down . . . or will...
God's big issues in the 2024 election usually don't align with the priorities of the voting base. But why are Republicans much more likely to support homosexuality than abortion? We also look into the 37 percent gender gap shaping up for the 2024 election. Men are going for Trump. Women are going for Biden.
Confusion reigns among evangelicals these days on the subject of same-sex attraction and gay identity. What do you say to a pastor applying for a job at your church who says, “I have (present tense) sexual, romantic, and deep emotional attractions to people of the same sex (or some other category of person or thing).” Specificity, clarity, and minimal nuance is recommended in these discussions which tend to gravitate towards too much contradiction and obfuscations and the use of worldly terminol...
Why does A.I. support pedophilia and place sins like this in the realm of ethical neutrality? About 97 percent of "scientists" believe humans evolved. Science has turned against God and leads the apostasy of the day. Thus, science is destroying itself. To trust A.I. programmers to get the worldview right is like trusting pedophiles to run the daycare center. Christians particularly are marginalized today in the courts and in the scientist community. But why? The root of this anti-Christian world...
Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the illegal immigration crisis that is going on at the southern border. Is redistribution of the wealth helpful to immigrants in the long run? Should Christians stand against the breaking of the law when illegal immigration occurs? What should Christians do when illegal immigrants are already living around them, and how can we disciple the nations?
"Shall my daughter attend a Taylor Swift conference with the pastor's daughter and the rest of the girls at the church?" That's the question posed us recently, and we provide three strategies by which to overcome the overwhelming power of the zeitgeist in the modern age. The underestimation of the demonic powers let loose in pop culture signifies a lack of watchfulness and spiritual power.
Have we been heading the wrong direction with this age-segregation, programmed church, and children’s ministries? Are we really following through on the Titus 2 and 2 Timothy mandates for church discipleship and worship? Questions come up here concerning delegation, children’s church, child evangelism, youth culture, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the displacement of God’s law with the traditions of men. Here’s a key question—Do children of Christian parents belong in the Ekklesia (the church...
The Civil War marked a sharp shift in America from decentralized to centralized government, from small government to big government, much influenced by Marxist thinking. What were these forces operating at this time—first rooted in the revolutions of Europe? We speak with the family-producers of a new documentary film, "Quest for Empire," and explore Abraham Lincoln's commitment to grow a strong centralized government in the US—something that continues to this day.
The enemy of my enemy is . . . my friend. Clearly, the left wants to put Donald Trump in jail, and they want pro-life protesters in jail for eleven years. While evangelicals may not be quite as thrilled to vote for Trump this time, they are discovering new reasons to vote for him. Ben Franklin's admonition is starting to ring true for more evangelicals—either they will have to hang together, or hang separately. If the left has it their way, somebody's going to hang. Trump favorability is on the ...
Alabama recently ruled that embryos are children. Many in support of in vitro fertilization are against this decision by the Alabama Supreme Court. However, is it right to make babies via IVF, knowing most of them will likely die? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the ethics of IVF on this edition of Generations.
We revisit Asbury after a full year has gone by and chronicle some of the most outstanding revivals of God in history. Compare the work of man and the work of God, and you find there is no comparison. We also note the snowballing effect of the William Burns revivals in South Africa and China—the most phenomenal outworking of God in the 19th century.
Judgement at Nuremberg . . . and repentance at Nuremberg. That's the backstory of history, which turns into the front story. Nazi's in heaven? Jeffrey Dahmer in heaven? You and me in heaven? Only by the shed blood of the Son of God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, could that ever happen. Will the evil (or good) works of man trump the works of God in history? By what worldview are you reading history? Here is an engaging program delving into the souls of the Nazis at Nuremberg from the perspecti...
David Livingstone was the real deal, a prime example of faith, courage, and endurance over the long haul. We explore the extraordinary career of this missionary and explorer. We consider his indispensable work of putting an end to the wretched slave trade coming out of East Africa. Compared to Ernest Shackleton, who completed his impossible mission over 2 years . . . Livingstone endured 30 years of unrelenting opposition and untoward circumstances. Here is an encouragement to read biographies, a...
Not enough wolves in the world, or not enough babies? Which is it? Governments are paying $50,000 for anybody who will help them lead to the arrest of guys who kill wolves, but no reward only for abortionists as yet. Then, companies in South Korea are offering $75,000 to workers with the fortitude to have a baby.
The enemies of God are far more bold today than in past times. The blasphemy is far more in-your-face. No one corrects it. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the mainstream hatred of God that takes place in our culture today on this edition of the program.
Everybody's looking for the root causes for recent rampages . . . transgenderism, mental instability, access to guns. But, few mention the hearts of men, demonic influences, and the normalization of insanity by media and academia. Shall we punish moms for the crimes of their sons? We end the discussion on practical ways to help troubled youth.
The “He Gets Us” campaign is back, unfortunately—spending $100 million on a PR campaign for Jesus. The question that keeps coming back to us . . . How does anyone get the message so wrong? But more importantly, how do we shift our minds out of this man-centered view to a God-centered view? Without a 180-degree shift, we’re done for.
