Autism -- Just another fraud, and racket?
August 20, 2008
Interacting with the Savage Nation
Michael Savage gets himself into a heap of trouble calling autism a fraud and a racket. Kevin Swanson interacts with the Savage imprecisions, further developing a causal framework and a holistic treatment in a biblical world and life perspective.
Where did all of these new boy-pathologies come from? Do the social conditions of the last 120 years of modern living create new pathologies, neuroses, and psychoses? Here Kevin Swanson declares the modern world toxic for children in its social conditioning. If you create a social situation that God did not intend for human beings, over the generations you will see new pathologies hard wired into the genetic code. It's inevitable. So what's the solution to this massive increase in the incidence of autism? Listen and find out. Kevin recommends Cathy Steere's book, available at our resource center at 1-877-842-2432.

Renewing the Family in South Korea
Despite the attempt to bring Christianity to distant lands, a western Christianity forgot to bring a world and life view with it, and in the process, post-modern thinking from the west destroyed the family everywhere (including countries like Japan and South Korea).
But a handful of Christian leaders are determined to change all of that, by the Word and the Spirit. Homeschooling is spreading around the world, including South Korea. Homeschool grad himself, and foreign missionary, Brad Voeller testifies to what God is doing in South Korea with a burgeoning home discipleship movement taking that nation by storm. Learn how you can connect with international home school families on this issue of Generations.

Why so Hard Core?
Although not all evangelicalism is soft and squishy at center, the faith is wobblier now than ever before. Occasionally, people wonder out loud (or via e-feedback to the Generations Production Team) why we come across as sort of "hard core," on concerns like faith, family, and freedom. The answer is given on this segment of Generations. Because we are a couple of dads, who are desperately trying to grab for some semblance of faith, family, and freedom, in a day where we are fast losing these values. And the pace is only picking up!

Mining for Biblical Depth
In our continuing quest for edifying, entertaining, and biblically sound music for our families, we have landed on another one.
To address the horrifying biblical illiteracy of our day, and to reintroduce some long lost biblical themes into the music of Christian community, enter Jamie Soles. Jamie is taking Children's Music way beyond "Only a Boy Named David!" He has been producing children's music, terrific music for the whole family, since 1994.
How would you work Ahijah the Shilonite into a song? Or what about Eglon, the big fat king of Moab? Listen to selections of Jamie's music on this edition of Generations.

A New Church Model

A Phenomena Taking America
They're independent of the state. They're radically counter cultural. They're motivated. They tend to lead. They are more entrepreneurial. But beyond any doubt, homeschoolers are here to stay and they will define the broader culture in the next 40 years.
Even more significant, the home school graduate is poised to take it to the second generation, and even if the first generation homeschoolers flatline at 2.4 million, we're expecting the movement to increase to 6 million by 2027 and 15 million by 2050.
In this interview with homeschool graduate and president of Home School Alumni, Camden Spiller, we cover some of the advantages, challenges, and potential achievements facing homeschool graduates today.

Christians vs. Pagans
For 4500 years Christians and Jews could be distinguished from pagans by how they cared for the dead. Then in the year 1873, something happened in Pennsylvania to change all of that. Does God care how we treat the human body, dead or alive? What would you tell your kids if they were kicking a human skull around in the back yard? Kevin Swanson talks about how God feels about all of this on this edition of the Generations Radio broadcast.

How to Ground Them in the Faith
With the national apostasy from the Christian faith in full force, the younger generation is quickly turning to atheism, nihilism, or just about any wayward cult that comes down the pike. A couple of Christian dads in studio grapple with how to sustain the faith into the generations. One important method discussed is the age-old, time-tested teaching tool called "catechism."

The Naivete of Christians
Christians who have no worldview grounding, no theological grounding, and no historical context for their faith are doomed to follow any dictator, cult leader, or weird Pied Piper coming down the pike.
Several illustrations of the naivete of Christians are offered here; primary of which is the recent, enthusiastic reception among many evangelicals for a literary concoction entitled "The Shack." The author is concerned to address certain "religious conditioning," yet Kevin Swanson is concerned with the "worldview/religious conditioning" of people who write books that favor a man-centered ethic and telos, Marxist egalitarianism (in the abolition of authority in the economic Trinity), and post-modern rule-less relativism.

Islam vs. Christianity
As the Islam religion presents a kingdom that is merely external, coercive, and statist, many Christians make the opposite mistake and assume the kingdom of God is nothing but an internal, spiritual, and immaterial reality.
Kevin Swanson contrasts perspectives on kingdom on this issue of the Generations radio broadcast. Taking issue with a perspective from the Protestant Reformation that distinguishes a worldly kingdom from a spiritual kingdom, he points out that Jesus intends for us to actually keep His commandments, and teach others to do so in all nations, institutions, and human relationships. He argues that there is a battle between two kingdoms and we battle over every square inch of this world's territory.

A Parents Critical Decision
Assuming parents love their children and want the best for them, Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner assess the value of public schools in terms of safety concerns, social issues, worldview issues, and academic concerns.
With the next school year looming, this is a good time for parents to start assessing the best educational plan for their children. Of all the projects we will work in our life, what would be more important than the paideia (discipleship and instruction) we provided our children?
