How We Got Here Humanism has virtually killed the Christian faith in Europe, but a faithful remnant made it back into the war of the worldviews over the last two generations. Our backs are against the wall, but we are fighting back and gaining ground! But how did we get here? Kevin Swanson walks through the ten most impacting books written by Christians in the last 100 years, that represent a return to Christian thought in the war of the worldviews. The purpose of this program is to give some honor to men who went before us in the 1900s. These are the thinkers that gave returned the ideas of worldview, antithesis, and distinctive Christian thought while humanism was eroding the foundations, destroying the family in America, and fragmenting our culture.

Olympics 08 is slated for the People's Republic of China, and you need to sign that form promising you won't criticize the government, because there really is nothing to criticize you understand! Kevin Swanson challenges the notion that China is any less free than it was under Mao or the regime that brought about the Tienneman Square Massacre. Should we honor a nation that has yet to repent for the largest Democide in the history of the world. . . a nation that continues it's forced abortion and sterilization programs, not to mention Christian persecutions? Kevin Swanson suggests a boycott of the Olympics and support for Voice of the Martyrs China Bible program.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? Kevin Swanson takes a biblical worldview perspective to the issue of "racial" distinctions and the "Bell Curve." Are blacks and Hispanics really less intelligent than whites on IQ tests? This leads to a discussion on multi-racial marriages, and the biblical support for it. God's law allows for maximum unity and maximum diversity in human community, and skin color is not much of a consideration. Nevertheless, there are compatibility issues. What happens when the man and woman hold to sharply different religious and political differences?

Courtship and Dads Just about every father of a daughter is going to hear those words some day. Kevin Swanson speaks to Henry Reyenga, pastor and home school father of five, on his daughter's recent courtship. Are the fathers of the brides setting their expectations too high for the prospective suitors? How does one properly evaluate the young man, and how much involvement is too much involvement? With the growing interest in proper courtship to produce stronger marriages among many families, we have seen a number of pitfalls and failures in process. These are discussed on this edition of the Generations broadcast.

Interview - Arnold Pent By the 1950s, any semblance of a biblical world and life view had well nigh disappeared from modern education and life. But deep in the wilderness of the modern world, several pioneering families broke free from the public schools to lay the foundations for the modern home schooling movement. What kind of pioneering spirit, what kind of vision would it take to make a decision to home school in the face of persecuting truant officers and against the entire cultural milieu of the day? Kevin Swanson interviews homeschooling father and grandfather, Arnold Pent on those early days of the modern home schooling movement. He is author of the book, "Ten Peas in a Pod," a book that tells this amazing story of a family who home schooled their ten children, while traveling around America in the 1950s.

The catalyst to any form of social revival has got to be leadership. But biblical leadership does not begin with a cadre of prima donnas who become the latest crop of social planners to staff the layers of state bureaucracies. Biblical leadership begins with fathers in the home. But it doesn't stop there. If you can get a few fathers who rule their households well, having believing children, then you'll begin to see leaders emerge who can rule in the household of God. For lack of leadership the people perish. How do we cultivate these leaders? Get a vision for godly leadership from this discussion with Henry Reyenga, pastor of Family of Faith Church and Director of Christian Leaders Institute.

Super Tuesday Tuesday marked the official end of conservatism, with only radical big government socialists at the front of the pack in the presidential race. George Barna's recent study found that born again Christians are voting Democrat this year. The winds have left the sails of the conservative movement. So why did conservatism die? Was it all George W. Bush's fault, or were there more fundamental problems with the country? With this edition of the Generations broadcast, Kevin Swanson presents an agenda for winning and it has to do with the way we view losing!

Interview: David Feddes Kevin Swanson interviews David Feddes concerning the substance of his doctoral dissertation on the plight of Christian culture in the west. We explore the reasons for its sharp decline since the 1960s. . . no make that the 1760s. Was it the radical agenda borne by the educational establishment, or the compromise of the seminaries and the churches? How did we get to where we are today, and where do we go from here

Here Kevin Swanson reviews one of the most shocking exposes anybody will ever watch in their lives. Pandora's Box Office is a new DVD release produced by Eric Holmberg that illustrates the incredible power of Hollywood to take a nation from the bathroom to the toilet, into the sewer system. Again, and again, in a relentless series of vignettes, Eric Holmberg takes you on a journey through Hollywood's productions. Over 40 years, sexuality on the movie screen moves from married people in separate beds to rape scenes enacted and homosexuality and aberrant forms celebrated on screen. Where will the future lead with these things? Reality murder shows for millions to watch? Kevin Swanson interviews Eric Holmberg on the sinister role of movies in taking a culture to Gomorrah, the critical importance of biblical discernment, and the future of a nation that forgot God.

Admittedly, we spend a great deal of time complaining about the massive growth in government, the public endorsement of homosexuality and abortion, the dissolution of the family and family freedoms, the rise in medical tyranny, and other onerous developments in our time. Millions of people enjoy the group therapy they get from the griping of conservative talk show hosts every day. But here's a plan to DO something about it. Kevin Swanson shows how a very small minority of families that will actually DO something could govern a state like Colorado.
