The Worst Nation in the World? Has America become the worst nation in the world? While this nation has been blessed in many ways, these blessings are fading fast. If the integrity of the family is the most important, fundamental building block of human society, then America may very well have the worst foundation in the world. Kevin Swanson points out that America has the highest divorce rate in the world, twice as high as France, and eight times as high as Spain. Kevin points out that Republican states like divorce, and Democrat states like to shack up. So which is worse? We have planted the seeds of our own destruction, and they will be hard to root out in the years to come. In this important broadcast, we dig down into the foundation and examine the theological and social causes for the huge divorce rates, and the reasons why Americans like to break covenant.

Pluralists Accepting All the Gods Everybody agrees on “love.” Love your neighbor as yourself. After all even a radical Muslims would agree with that postulate if put a little differently. “Bomb your neighbor as yourself,” perhaps. The pluralists are reticent to condemn any form of evil, especially if it is the work of a radical Muslim. In the effort to re-define religion as something that has no perspectives on stuff like Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Ethics, the pluralists end up accepting everything (except perhaps Christianity.)

Rush Limbaugh's 4th Marriage Rush Limbaugh's favorable perspective on divorce is no secret. But Kevin Swanson points out that whining about the socialist state while at the same time contributing to the breakdown of the family is the conservative modus operandi – and guarantees failure for the “conservative” agenda. Kevin goes on to explain how he parts ways with both conservatives and liberals, and we wonder which is the better of the two evils. Food for thought on this edition of Generations.

Birthrates Implode in Christian Churches Too While the American birth rate dips under the 2.05 replacement level (only salvaged by immigrants who average 2.6), another 90 nations around the world are experiencing their own birth implosions. After 120 million dead babies in this country, thanks to abortion and the abortifacient birth control pill and birth implosions among many demographics (not to exclude evangelical Christians), it's about time to re-assess our values and ethics using biblical definitions. A demographic winter is blowing in, so this may be the perfect time to take a look at our perspectives and attitudes towards children, babies, population growth, adoption, birth control, artificial insemination, surrogacy, and other important and related issues. Kevin Swanson interviews Douglas Phillips, president of Vision Forum, sponsor of an important conference scheduled for July of 2010.

The Power of Voluntarism vs. A State Monopoly If you were to take on an $800 billion state monopoly, how would you go about it? Kevin Swanson suggests voluntarism as they way to go. In this interview, with Christian Home Educators of Colorado Executive Director, Mike Chapa, you will learn about this small cadre of leaders and volunteers that are beginning to create an alternative to the state-based systems of education. If education frames the worldview, the metaphysics, the epistemology, and the meta-ethics of each generation, then there is no battle so ferocious as that which addresses this area of life. At the vanguard of the homeschooling movement ride the state organizations and thousands of support groups, led by people like Mike Chapa.

Courtships Awry The minute you jump on the band wagon of a new movement, whether it be homeschooling or courtship or fill-in-the-blank, you will always introduce a whole new set of problems. You can foul up a courtship and fail to love your neighbor as yourself in that context, as well as you can do it in the unaccountable dating and fornication route. You have the technology. Kevin Swanson interviews Douglas Wilson, author of the book 'Her Hand in Marriage,' in this segment of Generations, on the various things that can go wrong in Courtships. THIS IS A CRITICAL PROGRAM FOR AN FAMILY WITH CHILDREN APPROACHING MARRIAGEABLE AGE.

Biblical Education vs. Aquinas Some school districts in this country now "send more kids to prison, than through college!" But where's the problem? Are we still not spending enough money on education? What can salvage the inexorable decline of character in a nation? Kevin Swanson insists now is the time to begin considering a Copernican revolution in the way we think about education. At the least, Christians should be open to the education methodology defined by the Bible in contrast with the secularist view.

Al Gore's Global Warming and Marital Cooling So what's the connection between homosexuality and the weakening of the moral fiber of a nation? And what in the world does divorce have to do with ecology? Contrasting Al Gore's Global Warming and Marital Cooling Crises, Kevin Swanson points out how man always goes after the wrong problems, and in the end destroys his marriages, his empires, and the environment too. Either we'll learn to govern our world by God's law or we will destroy it.

Kevin Swanson interviews three young men (18-20 years of age) who are in the process of growing into maturity - becoming men in a day where 70% of young men are NOT grown up by 30 years of age (up from 30% in 1970). Joshua, Jack, and James talk to the spiritual and character issues they confront as they mature into men of God.

How Global Warming Ruined Science Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. E. Calvin Beisner on the pseudo-science that created the global warming scare and the subsequent fall-out. Is the reputation of science forever damaged in the eye of the public? And how did the post-modern worldview redefine the way the modern world does science? But more importantly, how will we rebuild a rational form of scientific enquiry for the next 100 years?
