How do we do family worship well? What does it look like? Is it simply studying the Bible as a family, or should it include other elements such as singing praises to God? And how do we keep the 2-year-old engaged? Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig discuss the topic of family worship on this edition of the program.
During this segment of What Does the Bible Say About That, Kevin and Josh Schwisow discuss some controversial topics regarding theology, metaphysics, and theonomy. What is the origin of sin and evil? What is the connection between God's sovereignty and sin in our lives? Do ceremonial laws still apply today?
On this edition of Generations, Kevin interviews Rick Randazzo, an FCA hockey director, about the importance of discipleship for young men. Young men should learn to accept responsibility for their actions, learn to serve others, and learn discipline and self-control in all areas of life. Many of these important traits are included in a road map that Rick has created called “10 Traits of a Godly Man.”
Currently, welfare programs in the U.S. are being used by a large number of illegal immigrants. How does the Word of God speak to immigration, and what should be the balance between justice and mercy? Liberals prefer to ignore the fact that sin is everywhere, and choose to believe that all humans are basically good. However, to do this is to consign the world to chaos. What is our personal responsibility, and what is the government's responsibility, when it comes to this issue of illegal immigra...
The Biden-Trump voting pattern at that evangelical flagship, Wheaton College, was . . . 48 percent to 40 percent. That’s a total loss for the president, Phillip Ryken. We take a look at Ryken’s book on biblical ethics and find a fatal flaw. Should the board clean house on the professors, or remove half the student body who vote for the most committed pro-abortion candidates ever to run for the top offices?
Everybody should be feeling a whole lot of geopolitical shaking going on, but where are we supposed to align ourselves—with Europe or Russia? Munich mentioned that the US was no longer sharing European values. What are these values? We go over the EU’s values in this segment. What are the biblical principles we need to bring to bear when it comes to these big-picture alignments?
Is it enough to attend church via Zoom, or is there more to attending church than logging in and listening to a sermon once a week? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow discuss several different topics involving the importance of church, tithing, and what it means to serve others as a Christian.
On this segment of Discipleship for Dads, Kevin Swanson, Danny Craig, and Todd Strawser address the sensitive but important topic of sexuality. Our world is an individualized world, with more access to pornography than ever before. However, Jesus came to save us from our sin. Instead of breeding an environment of condemnation, shame, and guilt, it's important to have a culture of open communication and confession in the home, especially when it comes to sexual sin.
Here is a PG-13 rated description of the National Institute of Health, Francis Collins, and human fetal tissue experimentation conducted over years. Why would a theistic evolutionist and an evangelical endorse the use of human fetal tissue for these experiments? Francis Collins’ definition of truth is neither biblical nor scientific, yet he was heavily endorsed by evangelical ministries.
There is a potential for scientists today to lean into experiments that promote a “brave new world,” including creating transgender animals, making orphans by experiments with embryos, and using synthetic wombs to avoid raising children in a familial environment. At the same time, science has the capacity to heal certain diseases and make it possible for babies to live when they might have died otherwise. What we need are scientists who fear God and who are willing to apply Biblical ethics to th...
The Lion King remains as the most popular children's movie up to this point. It's seen as a “clean movie.” However, what is the real worldview behind The Lion King , Frozen , Beauty and the Beast , Toy Story 4 , etc.? Kevin and Bill Jack discuss the common themes of feminism, witchcraft, evolution, Greek mythology, etc. that plague so many children's movies today.
Having the Spirit is essential to having new life in Christ. So what does it mean practically to walk in the Spirit, pray in the Spirit, and keep in step with the Spirit in our day to day? How do we avoid grieving or quenching the Spirit? We also know that God is sovereign over the events in each person’s life and in the world, but man is also responsible—yet God ordains the means as well as the end. So how can prayer change the mind of God if He already knows what will happen? Kevin Swanson and...
Relationships are often destroyed by anger and pride in the home. How can dads go about rebuilding these relationships? What are some practical ways to combat an angry spirit in oneself and in your own children? Kevin, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig all join in on this discussion in this segment of Discipleship for Dads.
Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, was recently invited to the World Economic Forum, and in a speech, he went after liberalism, socialism, and humanism, speaking against abortion, euthanasia, and feminism. God seems to be having some grace on the nations, with increasing steps away from world government and some steps towards biblical principles in government and economics.
Pop culture is still deconstructing in America. Sean Diddy Combs led the modern extreme abuse-language culture of the 1990s, but the piper has invoiced, and it’s about over for him. Kanye West left the faith. Rushing Simon the Sorcerer to the front of the auditorium to take the pulpit just three months after he’s baptized is not a very good idea. Interestingly, pop music icons became the pastors of the modern evangelical church during the 2010s and early 2020s. Not smart.
Do we live in Babylon, more so today than a hundred years ago? What are the points of intersection between America and the Babylonian exile? Drawing from Jeremiah 29, we pull out the sort of life the Lord would have us to live under the present conditions. Build houses. Plant gardens. Have children.
What is laziness? Is it a sin? What are the outward manifestations of laziness sprouting within a child’s life? What is a Biblical view of work, rest, and recreation, and how can we as parents disciple our children through their (and our own) struggles with laziness? Kevin Swanson, Bill Roach, and Daniel Craig discuss these and other questions about the subject of laziness on this edition of the program.
What is the best thing governments can do to improve economies? Five words: Get. Out. Of. The. Way. And, what is the best way to stay out of wars and avoid the slaughter of a billion people? Free trade and sports. But, what does the Bible say about things like tariffs? What does history say about it?
In this segment of “What Does the Bible Say About That?”, Kevin and Josh Schwisow discuss several questions sent in by Generations listeners. How can wives encourage their husbands to be involved in the spiritual life of the family? What should be the focus when discussing modest dress? Is it more than just externals?
We live in a sterile and de-relationalized world. A large number of Gen Z’ers are on psychotropic drugs and are longing for relationships, but the modern church isn't putting relationships as a priority. As Christians, we need to follow Jesus' example of building and fostering relationships.
We live in an age of brokenness—that's the baseline for most families in our day. But all of us are broken, by nature—it’s just that the disease has broken out into gaping sores and we can see it now. But what now? How does one face the brokenness? First, admit the problem . . . all of them. Then, Psalm 51.
The age of buttercups is over. As Politico puts it, Trump is a force of history, and Putin, Jinping, and Trump are all strong men, and they recognize each other to be such. We discuss the value and risk of strength and strong men. How do the Scriptures speak of strength as a virtue? Are we moving towards the age of Hitler, Stalin . . . and Churchill?
The battle for honest money went on for over a hundred years in American history, but the cause was lost in 1913. How did this happen, and what are the biblical standards for honest money? Andy Keusel, producer of a video course on Biblical money, joins us on this edition of the program. These are the basics that every Christian family and all of our children need to understand if we will ever restore honest money to the world. Check out more info at www.biblical-money.com ....
Crypto investors, companies, and executives accounted for half of all corporate donations in the 2024 election cycle. And Trump Crypto did 18,000 percent out of the gate—with a current capitalization of $7 billion. However, the number of crypto investors is shrinking now, year by year. That’s not going to do well for this $4 trillion game, where it’s all about who gets out the game first with the most cash. We explain the difference between investing and gambling on this segment of the Generatio...
Bill Roach, Kevin Swanson, and Danny Craig come back to discuss the importance of discipleship in the home, considering the special role that dads have when it comes to the raising of children. Is it enough to simply cut out movies and video games? What are some healthy replacements for media? How important is accountability when it comes to the internet? When should dads start to have discussions with their children on sexuality and the traps of lust and pornography? Some of these questions, an...
Here’s the first 120 hours of the new administration. Trump was saved by God, but why? Was this to make America great again? Or was this to make America humble again? Out of the starting gate, Trump is taking his Romans 13 responsibilities seriously—defending borders and exercising proper justice in regards to criminals. He is releasing the innocent, including the pro-lifers (as of the recent news). But will the nation make progress on abortion and pulling back on the liberal agenda in the schoo...
The job that God has given to dads is the most important job in the world. What dads are doing is fundamental for the health of the family, the health of the church, and society at large. Discipleship of the nations starts in our own homes. Kevin Swanson, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig discuss both the fundamentals of discipleship and specific questions around child-rearing, maintaining unity in one’s marriage, and how to cultivate gratitude in the home on this edition of the Generations program....
Kevin Swanson and Danny Craig engage in a conversation, addressing specific questions from listeners. They speak to the importance of a father in the lives of his children, and what their role is, in a practical sense. While the world is in chaos and families are falling apart, Christian fathers need to be submitting to God, correcting, coaching, and mentoring their children, and loving their wives.
Who’s to blame for these fires and hurricanes that are damaging our country? Reparations are running close to 2 percent of the GNI, just enough to tip us into recession. God brings it, but God can save us. Shall we trust insurance agencies, FEMA, princes, and horses? Or better yet, shall we trust God?
Here is the shocking story of the most popular homeschooling mommy-blogger - Ruby Franke. The reports were that, “This family looks soooo beautiful!” She had a billion views, but now she’s serving up to 30 years in prison. The cults do well with this. The worldly media is all about this. What matters most is the externals . . . the appearances . . . but not so much the heart.
