​ Archeology Confirms Saul, David, and Solomon

With each find, archeology only further substantiates biblical history. We share some of the most exciting archeological discoveries and demonstrate their correlation with Scripture in this new segment. What are the intersections between Egypt and David, Solomon, and Jeroboam? Where do we find David winning key battles against the Syrians, only to lose ground under Ahab and others? Christians are often lost in the history of the Kings and Chronicles. This segment will help straighten out misconc...

A Father's Involvement in Education

Is it important for a dad to be involved in the education of his children? Absolutely! On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Craig Harrison, a homeschool father who contributes to about 90 percent of his children's homeschool education.

Top Christian Books in 2024

Readers are leaders. That’s why women are writing the books now. They are the leaders, and women are the readers. The popular books dwell on personal experience, self-help, the apocalypse, Christian horror, and miscellaneous unedifying fodder. But what makes for edification? That’s the bigger question. Here’s the conclusion. Let’s focus more on the work of God than the work of man . . . and more on the Word of God than the word of man.

Vigilantes, Individualism, and the Wild West

Anarchy reigns in Portland, Oregon and other blue cities. What is to be done when both the individual and the state are violating all of God’s laws with impunity? When can we defend our property by shooting all violators? We look at Wyatt Earp and the shootout at the OK Corral. Then, we draw on biblical law on these matters. The Bible allows for family defense, but not so much for vigilantism and vengeance killings. The highest divorce rates on the US map still show up in Colorado, New Mexico, W...

​ Looking for Life in All the Wrong Places

NASA has spent a trillion dollars on space ventures looking for life in all the wrong places. Another $5.2 billion goes into searching for life in a frigid -270°F surface of one of Jupiter’s moons. The attempts to prove God’s non-existence or irrelevance knows no end. But the question remains: How did all this water get to this planet we call Earth?

How to Go and Get More Salt

Whose Side Is God On?

There are roughly 5.4 billion people represented in nations today that support traditional marriage. There are 1.4 billion people represented in nations today that oppose traditional marriage. If there was a world war between West and East, who would win? Whose side is God on? One thing is for sure. Nations cannot destroy marriage and the family and hope to have a civilization a hundred years from now.

Evangelicals Excusing Foul Language

Increasingly, evangelical pastors are advising the use of foul language and obscene gestures. Is this ignorance concerning the symbolic connotations communicated in human language? Or, is it that there is little or no fear of God before their eyes? Why is it wrong to say, “Gosh darn it all to heck?” And, how does cursing differ from the imprecatory psalms? These are highly significant discussion items in an increasingly apostate age.

Women Leading the Leaving Church

For the first time in history, women are leading the leaving of the faith. For the last 15 years, they have led the American apostasy on the pop-culture scene, and they have led in the popular evangelly-fish book market. Almost all top ten Christian books have been authored by women for the last 10 years or so, paving the exit ramps off the highway of orthodoxy for other women. But young men are going back to church. They want to hear the hard truths, and they are staying in discipleship. Good s...

​ Disney Leads the Culture in 2024

Disney is leading the culture again with the two largest blockbusters of the year— Inside Out 2 and Dead Pool 3 —both heavy queer-coding, gender fluid-affirming, revolutionary cultural expressions. How much of Hollywood is effeminate, gender-fluid, and queer coded? More than you could imagine. But then again, so was the Globe Theater in 1590. The Puritans were as concerned about the theater then as we are now. Not much has changed.

Political Prisoners in the USSA

Political prisoners are typically clapped in the clink by communist governments on the charge of some legal technicality. That's precisely what is happening in the good old USS of A. Pro-lifers, Christian homeschool dads, and election questioners are getting three to nine years in prison these days. Here's yet another story taken from a highly reliable source we need to share with our listening audience.

Cautionary Points on Classical Education

We may appreciate the trivium, or a careful study of history, or the great literature . . . but is it a Christ-centered history or a man-centered history? Is it pagan literature, or Christian literature? These are extremely critical questions with which Christian parents must grapple. Their children’s souls are at stake in regards to these matters. Here are some cautionary notes concerning classical education. The reintroduction of Greek humanism into the universities in the 1300s killed the fai...

European Anti-Christian Politics

We’re currently witnessing the breakdown of Europe in our day. Islam is taking over, and the goal, as defined by France’s president, is to eliminate religion completely. Many European countries are significantly post-Christian, and America is starting to follow. Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus compare European and American politics on this edition of the program.

The BELA Bull in the China Shop

Homeschooling has expanded exponentially in the nation of South Africa where almost everything else has broken down. The enemy is responding by extending state control over the one thing that is working. How will Christian homeschoolers and Christian schools respond to added state regulations of this growing movement?

Pastors & Inappropriate Relationships

Another pastor in Dallas is removed from his position because of an “inappropriate relationship.” One blogster counts 16 scandals in Dallas churches just this year, including 4-5 high profiles. What is the Spirit saying to the churches? Where are the honest confessions, the humble repentances, and the churches still with some integrity to them? When it comes to inappropriate relationships, what does this mean? Inappropriate in the eyes of the world? Inappropriate in the eyes of the church? Inapp...

Would Jesus Vote for Kamala Harris?

Ray Ortlund and the leftist side of evangelicalism is sometimes Kamala Harris, but never Trump. Everybody picks their ethical systems and a basis by which to judge one thing as better than the others. That’s why evangelicals are going for Kamala Harris . . . wrong ethical system.

Make Disciples

THE FORGE , the newest Christian movie from the Kendrick Brothers, is a powerful illustration and reminder that discipleship matters! Guest host Adam McManus interviews Alex Kendrick, the co-writer and director of the film, which has already made $27 million domestically since August 23rd. At its height, THE FORGE was shown in 1,900 theaters. Still in 700 theaters today, go to the website www.TheForgeMovie.com to find out where it is playing near you. In the film, Isaiah Wright, played by Aspen ...

Kamala’s Swiss-Cheese border

When Kamala Harris was asked on the Oprah Winfrey infomercial whether she would secure the border if elected as president, she said two things. As California Attorney General, she prosecuted transnational groups for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings. As Vice President, she advocated for the passage of the Biden Border Bill which would have placed 1,500 additional Border Patrol agents on the ground. She sounds like a Republican, as she moves center to appeal to law-and-order Americ...

3 Abortion Lies

In the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, there were three lies told about abortion. Guest host Adam McManus addresses all three with Sue Liebel , the State Affairs Director for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. Plus, you’ll hear the audio clips of all three. LIE #1: Abortions don’t happen in the ninth month of pregnancy. Kamala Harris falsely claimed, “Nowhere in America is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion. That is not happening; it...

Two Assassination Attempts

On Sunday, September 15th, former President Donald Trump was targeted in a second assassination attempt on the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. It happened just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania. Guest host Adam McManus talks with Michael Letts , a former law enforcement officer who worked with the Reagan Secret Service team, and founder of InVestUSA.org , which provides bullet-proof vests t...

Exploding pagers in Lebanon

Thousands of pagers detonated across Lebanon last Tuesday, injuring nearly 3,000 and killing 12 people. The attack targeted fighters with the terrorist group Hezbollah but also killed civilians. Then, in a second wave of attacks, hand-held radios detonated across Lebanon on September 18th, killing 14 people and injuring over 450. Guest host Adam McManus interviews Pastor Mark Biltz , a Messianic Jew, the author of God's Day Timer: The Key to Unlocking God's Time Clock , and founder of El Shaddai...

Seeds in the Cracks

Relationship. Discipleship. Families being together, being nurtured, even in the midst of some of the most difficult times in recent history. This is what we see in families across the world who are discipling their children in the midst of war and government opposition. They provide a shining light of home education compared to the backdrop of brokenness, decimation, and isolation of the post-Christian wasteland of the West. We discuss the challenges facing the international homeschooling commu...

Should the State Fund Education?

On this edition of the program, Kevin Swanson discusses the history of Christian homeschool organizations and the ideology of home education with Brian Ray. Is it the state's responsibility to fund the education of our children, or is this the job of the family?

Bias in Journalism and History

The media has always had a tremendous impact on the formation of public opinion . . . but it at least tried to be unbiased in its reporting in times past. So what do we do when it becomes as blatantly biased as it is today? Is there an objective, absolute standard to use when interpreting the events around us? Or is it the one who yells “Heretic!” the loudest who wins in the end? We review some of the basics requirements for good journalism, how to navigate the maze of a thousand opinions, and t...

Fixing Roofs While Foundations Crumble

Ideas have consequences. The Peter Thiels of the world are far more influential in the Republican party than they were 20 years ago, and are setting a new direction for “conservatives.” As we approach the 2024 elections, the major worldviews need to be identified if we’re going to understand the ramifications of the philosophies governing our country today. On this edition of the program, we examine the worldviews behind the two major ruling political parties of the day, Ayn Rand, and Peter Thie...

How to Help Without Hurting

There are many ways charitable endeavors can go dreadfully wrong when ministering in third-world nations. Here is a helpful guide to being sure that all helping helps when seeking to help others—based on extensive mission field experience. Jesus is very concerned that we reach out to the “least of these” His brothers. How do we help them?

Deconstructing the Faith

The current apostasy has yielded more faith lapses and a new movement called faith deconstruction. Nothing new to see here, just the same old Western apostasy. We provide four causes or excuses attending the faith deconstruction of the present age. The hatred and vitriol are typically poured out upon the church as an institution. Here is the antidote to an age of doubt and faithlessness.

Should Children Be Missionaries?

Did Jesus really mean it when He prescribed the millstone treatment for those who stumble little ones? It is one of the most severe judgements we find in Scripture, and it should cause us to sit up and pay attention. Bill Jack and Kevin Swanson discuss whether Christian children should be sent to school to be missionaries. Are children more likely to influence or be influenced?

Anti-Trump Evangelicals Speak Out

The anti-Trump evangelicals sign a statement in which they advise love, but not fear. What they are calling for is revival without repentance, love without law, and certainly a complete absence of the fear of God. So what can you do when you find yourself living in a world where almost nobody fears God?

Losing to the DINK Demographic

Two worldviews are fighting it out for the next election. But will a sexually-anarchical billionaire save our civilization from a childless cat lady? This is really the question we are grappling with . . . sort of . . . on this edition of the program. The foundations of a civilization are destroyed, and neither worldview has much interest in laying new concrete. The opportunity for rebuilding is still in the future, but not too far in the future.
