The Antioch Declaration

Here is a statement signed by hundreds of pastors and church people in opposition to antisemitism. But what is scapegoating, discrimination, hatred, self-loathing, antisemitism, and racism? Let’s define our terms carefully here, and not allow the world to govern our conceptions by their own definitions and terms. Can we blame all the troubles of the failure of Christian faith and the loss of liberties, etc. upon a particular ethnic group? Or, would it be better to humble ourselves and identify t...

An Interview with the Inventor of the MRI

Major scientific breakthroughs do not happen every day. They require a combination of inspiration, perspiration, and, of course, the mercy of God. This particular medical invention has contributed to saving millions of lives. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the first Human Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machine in 1977. Dr. Damadian gives God the glory for this amazing technological breakthrough. Was this the reason he was refused the Nobel Prize in 1984? This story wi...

Is there any reason to sit around and twiddle the thumbs? Opportunities are always everywhere. Kevin Swanson interviews Russ McGuire on his mentorship of young men through entrepreneurship. How does a young man learn entrepreneurship, and what does it take to succeed?

Homeschooling in Australia

If you think America has lost faith, family, and freedom, or any semblance of a biblical worldview over the last fifty years, you ought to check out other nations like England, Scotland, or Australia! Yet, there seems to be a tiny remnant hanging on to relationships and truth in a lost and lonely world. We found a family in Australia who has more than 1.4 children, is reintegrating family relationships, and understands the Christian mandate to apply God's Word to all areas of thought and life. K...

Keynesian Economics

American federal debt is growing faster than the GDP now. This year, the debt-to-GDP ratio stands at 121 percent. . . about fifth worst in the world. Interest payments on the federal debt have topped 36 percent of total tax receipts. And all of this has its roots in the Keynesian philosophies of the early 1920’s and 30’s. The present-orientedness, existentialism, and the ideology of Jean-Paul Sartre and John Maynard Keynes are what ran the 20th century and helped produce what we have today. So h...

Thanksgiving 2024

Ukrainians currently live in a 9/11 situation, and have been for three years straight now. South Africans live life in a prison-camp-like, totalitarian, and socialist country. Meanwhile, America, because of the effect of the Protestant Reformation, has been blessed with peace, wealth, and much freedom. It's good to have the right perspective, thanking God for the place and time in which He has placed us. Gratefulness should characterize a Christian's life. Happy Thanksgiving!

Archbishop of Canterbury Resigns

Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, recently waffled on his position on homosexuality, and certain elements of the Anglican church called for his resignation. Shortly after, he resigned from his position due to the scandals. God's sovereignty over all of life continues to reign supreme.

​ Trump's Cabinet Picks

Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan review Trump's cabinet picks in this edition of Generations. So far, we have multiple divorcees, pro-aborts, homosexuals, and adulterers. If leaders are a reflection of the nation, what does this say about America?

The Problems with Socialist Medicine

From this interview aired back in 2013: Colin Gunn speaks of his new film on socialist medicine, outlining the problems facing socialist European nations and America. Socialism looks forward to an unproven future that will yield bankruptcy both of the character and the economies of entire nations. Yet there is a spirit of freedom that still beats in the hearts of some doctors and patients. Some of us will FIND A WAY through this morass.

What Does It Mean to Be a Good Church Member?

Every Christian family must be part of a church, and healthy families are part of what make healthy churches. But the church member who has been part of a body for 30 or 40 years is increasingly rare in our day. What is it to be a good church member? What contributes to the longevity of both churches and members? How should we view the church and those within its walls? Kevin Swanson, Scott Brown, and Pastor Andre discuss these and other questions on this edition of the program.

New Zealand Ahead in Secularization

Kevin Swanson interviews Pastor Andre Bay about the state of Christianity in New Zealand. While the U.S. apostatizes, New Zealand is one step ahead. Christians have a responsibility to stand against the world and continue to bring the Gospel, despite the push-back.

Church and Family in New Zealand

On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Scott Brown broadcast from New Zealand, where they address the health of the churches in New Zealand.

Is Celebrity Influence Waning?

During the 2024 elections, celebrities put in their endorsements for Kamala Harris. Trump ended up winning, and so we ask the question: Who really influences the hearts of people? God does. God is King over all, and is the ultimate authority on right and wrong. However, the liberals continue to make their own law. Which sins are more egregious? Why do liberals believe the inconvenience for a woman trumps the life of the child? Kevin and Steve address these topics and more.

Should Christians Watch Horror?

Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss the horror genre following the recent release of the horror film “Heretic.” The film has been highly successful in the box office. The horror genre encourages those watching to fear evil, which leads to the worship of evil, which is exactly what the demons want. Given this, is it appropriate for Christians to watch horror films?

The Worldwide Influence of Jesus Christ

Phenomenal things are happening around the world in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. A vision for home discipleship is spreading through countries like Brazil, Mexico, Russia, and New Zealand. On the edition of the program, we review the statistics around the increasing influence that Hispanics in particular have in evangelical circles, the revivals that are happening in Brazil, and the enormous impact and influence that this will have in the years to come on America and around the world.

Why Do Teens Kill?

Why do teens kill? Random violent killing in schools is on the rise. Phil Chalmers is America's leading authority on juvenile homicide and juvenile mass murder. He has interviewed over 200 teen killers and school shooters. According to Phil, there are multiple factors that play into this type of crime, but there is one universal factor that plays into it every time. The influence of media on young people is more powerful and insidious than you think.

Gender Gap Larger Than Ever

During this election cycle, the gender gap of women voting Democrat and men voting Republican was the largest it's ever been. Households are divided politically, and the Left is encouraging it. Who we are voting for should be a private and family matter, but Leftists are demanding a win at the expense of the family.

The Softest Age

We currently live in the softest age known to mankind. People are making far more in developed countries today than they have in the past. In addition, there is also a softening of evil. There is no ultimate source of right and wrong in the minds of many today, including in the American church.

A Window of Opportunity

There are some significant differences between this election and the last presidential election of 2020. While President Trump managed to secure more of the minority vote this time, the overall influence of evangelicals has dropped off by roughly 5 percent since 2020. It is only by the mercy of God that Jezebel lost. But what do the most recent election trends, especially around initiatives concerning pro-life issues, reveal about the hearts of Americans? Is God giving America another opportunit...

Election 2024 — Jehu Won.

The 2024 election outcome was plainly a demonstration of God’s mercy upon a nation. Jehu won. Jezebel lost. The babies lost, except in South Dakota. What then is the next four years, but one more opportunity to see a little repentance on abortion, homosexuality, and the things that matter to God? We’re not sure much of this matters to the Republican Party, but at least they won!

Elite College Kids Can’t Read

Atlantic Magazine complains that elite college kids can’t read whole books. That’s pretty sad in that readers are usually leaders, and we have every biblical to raise readers . . . and leaders. Some tips on raising leaders and teaching our kids to read here.

Election 2024

The ballot can be cast into the box, but the whole disposing of it is of the Lord. It is incumbent on Christians to repent . . . and vote. On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack address Election Day 2024 and how Christians can help bring the political realm to the feet of Jesus, even if the candidates don’t.

Inflation Reduces Retirement by $2.5 Trillion

Inflation reduced retirement accounts by $2.5 trillion, but the good news is that Trump and Biden gave us all $814 billion in stimmie checks! Inflation took it all away and reduced the value of savings accounts by $1.6 trillion and 401(k) accounts by $2.5 trillion. What a deal! The government created $5 trillion out of thin air, gave us all $814 billion, and then reduced our savings and retirement accounts by a value of $4.1 trillion! It’s a shell game. It’s stealing. And the government is good ...

Why Liberal Denominations Die Out

England provides the template for the dissolution of denominations in the decline of the West. The correlation between compromise on homosexuality and the shrinking of congregations within respective denominations is almost perfect. The Archbishop of Canterbury waffles on homosexuality in hopes to salvage some minimal participation in his church, but the strategy isn’t working for him. But why?

Principled Voting on Ballot Issues

We fill out the Colorado ballot, arguably the longest and most wicked ballot for this election cycle. How would Jesus vote? He would do the will of His Father as contained in the law of God revealed in the Bible. He would advocate a government that reflects the laws of God and limits itself to the purview God has laid out for it. How does a principled Christian vote on the ballot issues?

America’s Systemic Psychosis

This nation is experiencing higher levels of the Romans 1 phenomenon, where God gives a people up to a corrupted mind . . . really insanity. Contributing to it is this intentional work of would-be tyrants who know that a confused and anxious population disconnected from the truth is easy to control. Here are ten ways to work your way out of the asylum and overcome the systemic psychosis.

Arguing for State-funded Charity

Christian organizations are vying for more government funding—the sort of Marxism and farcical monstrosity that has undermined real charity in the modern age. What the government funds, the government controls and mostly destroys. Here is an article from World Magazine arguing for the funding of Christian charities and bemoaning the secularizing of socialist governments.

The Porn Scourge — Worse Than Ever

Porn use is up 11 percent over the last eight years according to a recent comprehensive survey (in the US). No fornicator will enter the kingdom of heaven . . . but 75 percent of Christian men and 40 percent of Christian women report that they are viewing pornography at least occasionally. Sixty percent are addicted. And, about half of practicing Christians say they are comfortable with the habit. What would Jesus say to us?

Survey on American Voting Preferences

The survey is in for the 2024 US election prioritization of issues for the voters. Democrat voters want to kill babies. And Republican voters want money, and they don’t care much about this matter of killing babies. Only about 10 percent of American voters are pro-life voters. And, 30 percent of American voters are pro-abortion voters. How can we turn 10 percent into 30 percent? The pro-life position is a losing proposition at that rate. The battle, however, is fought and won (or lost) in the se...
