Generations Radio

The Worldviews of FantasyThe present generation was raised on Harry Potter. It is the most popular book series and most popular movie series of all time, exceeding the box office receipts of Star Wars and Avatar! But what shall we say of this Dark Tale? The good guys are homosexuals and witches. And the bad guys definitely look uglier than the good guys. We’ve come a long way from the Bobbsey Twins. Not many kids raised on the Bobbsey Twins became interested in Necromancy, Human Sacrifice, and Homosexuality. The next twenty years are going to be. . . different, shall we say? Kevin Swanson interviews Christian fantasy author, Lee Duigon on the basic differences between corrupting man-centered witchcraft and God-centered story-telling.

Hanging on to the Biblical Family in the WestThe Gerrman chancellor finally admits that the Christian faith is weak in Germany, and being displaced by Islam.  Meantime, the last few Christian parents are in jail in Sweden and being prosecuted for living the Christian faith in Germany.    Back to America, the national debt is 3X what it was ten years ago, but the good news?  Video game sales are up 3 fold!   Commenting on these stories, Kevin Swanson encourages a biblical standard for the family, in this edition of Generations.

Relevant Irrelevance Os Guinness encourages Christians not to abandon the public schools, as this is the only way that we can keep the many faiths under the one state.  But what does this mean?  Must we support the old polytheism under statism, by jettisoning a Christian metaphysic in the science and history classes? Christians have worked hard to be relevant to evolutionists, public schools, and nudist colonies.  But have they lost the antithesis?   Kevin Swanson addresses these “sticky,” yet very important issues on this edition of Generations.

A Worthwhile Endeavor Taking a position on truth is pretty unpopular today, but there are still a few left who have the guts to do it.  Dr. James White is one of the nation’s most active Christian apologists and debaters, having debated atheists, Muslims, etc. over the last twenty years.   Here Kevin Swanson interacts with James on how to engage in the war of ideas.

Teaching Your Children the Constitution US Senate Bill 510 threatens to regulate every family farm as a “Community Supported Agriculture” supplier.  The Senate has passed one version of the bill. But will bills like this destroy family businesses, as well as future possibilities for renewable agriculture?   A serious root problem with our present political systems is their abandonment of constitutional principles.  Kevin Swanson interviews Michael Holler, author of “The Constitution Made Easy,” on the importance of teaching our children the important founding documents of a nation that was once free.

The Rise of Communism in AmericaIf socialism came to the Soviet Union by a couple of bloody revolutions, it comes to America by 25 elections and 50 years of the steady breakdown of the family social structure. But is it a conspiracy or an agenda foisted upon the masses? Kevin Swanson interviews Curtis Bowers, a former State Representative from Idaho, and producer of the documentary film, “Agenda."

Tyranny Playing off of AnarchyAlways best friends, tyranny plays off of an occasional anarchical terrorist event, and takes the opportunity to violate privacy everywhere (including airports). Adam McManus interviews Douglas Phillips on this growing trend towards absolute tyranny in America.

Adam McManus interviews Doug Phillips. Unfortunately, most documentaries covering our earth refuse to give God glory, let alone even mention the Creator.   Men refuse to give God thanks, because their hearts are hardened against Him.  This is the mission of the Discovery Channel, the Learning Channel, and National Geographic.  But there is an organization that is committed to reversing this awful trend.  Radio talk show host, Adam McManus interviews Doug Phillips on nature documentaries that give God glory for His creation.   Doug Phillips is heading down to the Amazon and up into space to record more of the mighty acts of God in Creation.

The Heart of Her Husband Safely Trusts in HerOnly 22% of American families constitute "traditional households," down from almost 50% in the 1970's (where the father works and everybody else sits at home eating bonbons and watching soap operas). But we're not looking to revive "traditional households!" Kevin Swanson reads Proverbs 31, and then gives the New Revised Version of the same passage so as to contrast two rather distinct visions.   Then, he interviews a family doing their best to revive the Biblical "Oikonomia," where the heart of a husband safely resides with his wife.  The economic household vision represented in biblical revelation has almost disappeared, and is not even included in charts that define household economies today.  But families like that constituted by Scott and Andie Davidson are bringing it back!

Giving Thanks In the midst of the Nazi-controlled, war-torn Holland is where we find a Corrie Ten Boom.  Out of a communist cesspool of the nation of Romania comes a Richard Wurmbrand, the founder of a powerful ministry called "Voice of the Martyrs."  Kevin Swanson points out that God's sweetest mercies are often found in growing in the ashes of burned out civilizations.  There is much to be thankful for in the present day. God is working, and He may be forming something out of the ashes of western civilization.  Optimism rings in this Thanksgiving edition of the Generations broadcast!
