Generations Radio

Commemorative Program The Democrats Come to Town What are all these Democrats doing in our town? The Generations Radio broadcast team provides what could very well be the worst coverage of the Democratic National Convention straight from Colorado. Despite all efforts from Tony Campolo, Rev. Jim Wallis, and Bob Casey, the DNC cannot shake it's great amoral reputation in its enthusiastic support for things like slavery, abortion, and infanticide. Kevin Swanson reviews the sordid history of the party from 1848 onwards – spicing in a few interesting quote from Nathan Bedford Forrest and Margaret Sanger.

The Highways and Byways One of the most outstanding ministries available to Christians today is found in the prisons. America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, and many of these "social rejects" are open to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Join Henry Reyenga on this important Generations Radio broadcast on taking the gospel to the highways and byways.

A Call for Leaders Christian leaders are critical to the church in the present day, but where are they going to come from? Preparation is key. Men like Kevin Swanson, Voddie Baucham, Henry Reyenga, and David Feddes have joined ranks to prepare Christian leaders for church and society.

The Future of Christian Education in America Two fathers who weren't even nominated for the Father-of-the-Year award, talk about the legal environment for home education after the smoke clears on to critical court decisions in California. These cases WILL DETERMINE THE FUTURE of Christian Home Education and Christian Schooling in America. The first case certifies the legality of home schooling in California, but the second decision disallows Christian high school curriculum for those attending secular universities. Could both decisions be the best for those who will really commit to giving their children a Christian education in the K-12 and post-high school years? Important analysis on these decisions on this segment of Generations.

When Fathers Engage Hypothetically speaking, let's suppose that you were a pastor. And, you came to a city and found a population of fathers disengaged, disinterested in their own children's spiritual condition. They weren't really disciple-ing their children. They weren't teaching their children's God's Word, not really loving their children much. There was little vision in these guys, outside of a little tele-vision for watching the games, and drinking beer. They were more interested in their cars than in who was dating their daughters. What would you do? You'd probably have to start up Sunday Schools, Youth Groups, Vacation Bible School, Children's Church, and Church Daycare Programs.We talk to a pastor who came to a city and found just the opposite - fathers who loved God, loved their children, and loved to disciple their children as they sat in their house, as they walked by the way. It was a paradigm shift, that turned into a whole different kind of ministry.

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 No Sunday Schools? No Youth Pastor? No Children's Church? What kind of a church is that? Two pastors in studio discuss the challenges and the blessings of forming a home discipleship church. Henry Reyenga and Dr. David Feddes are pastors of Family of Faith Church in Monee, Illinois.
