The End of the Reformation 60% of the faculty of Wheaton College votes for Obama. The Wall Street Journal asks if the Protestant Reformation is officially over, and Al Mohler wades in on the conversation. Here Kevin Swanson comments on the thrust of the first Reformation, and the state of the Christian religion in America and Europe presently. How did we lose the faith in the west, and oh yeah, exactly what was the faith? Does anybody remember?

Modelling for Victoria Secrets or Serving the Orphan? Millions of young women are caught up in trying to look like fashion models, movie stars, or the hottest new pop singer. In the process, they are plagued with insecurity, eating disorders, and sexual promiscuity. In this interview with Leslie Ludy, author of “The Lost Art of True Beauty,” we confront these problems head-on. A recommended interview for any family with daughters!

Don't Try This at Home! A Delaware Pediatrician accused of 471 cases of abuse? Teachers convicted of abusing children right and left. . . Sports stars turn out to be painfully human after all. Is trust in professionals waning? And what sort of trust should Christians put in doctors and state-certified bureaucrats? For 100 years, we were told to trust these professionals, and “Don't try this at home!” Now, we're wondering if we should have moderated our enthusiasm for professionalism. Kevin Swanson addresses this issue of trust, and suggests a biblical approach to medicine and this matter of “trusting doctors.”

Getting Good and Meek The 20th century was the century where feminists worked hard to get their girls on to the Navy subs. It was a 150 year project, and finally came to fruition in the year 2010. Nevertheless, the Platonic vision could never have been accomplished without the gymnasium. Between 1900 and 2010, women have participated in the Olympics at an increasingly higher percentage, and most of them will never have children. Kevin Swanson doesn't give you all the answers, but boy, he has some great questions every parent should consider on this edition of Generations.

Evil Always Comes and Goes What ever happened to forced sterilizations in Indiana, upheld by a hair-brained Supreme Court decision in 1927? What about the supremacy of the white race doctrine taught in American public high school classrooms in 1925? Feeding Christians to lions? What ever happened to homosexual indoctrination in the sex ed classes way back in the year 2010? Evolution? Socialism? Abortion? Various of evils always come and go, especially when empires collapse. But what do Christians do with the unfruitful works of darkness? Number 1 - they don't sit their children in public school classrooms to pick up an education in statist thinking that does not conform itself to the fear of God. Kevin Swanson recommends a Christian education for Christians on this edition of Generations. He presents the Christian classics, and recommends that Christians focus on the Christian classics if they really want their children to have a Christian education.

A Biblical Adoption System The present system of social services, foster care, and adoptions is rife with corruption and as government systems are wont to do, it perpetuates more dysfunctionality everywhere. While being careful not to in any way disparage adoption as a wonderful way to care for the orphan, Kevin Swanson lays out the problems with adoption presently practiced. He points out that the worldview of the statist system of adoptions is fundamentally flawed. To illustrate the conflict of worldviews that come to bear in the adoption process, guest Steve Vaughan talks to how his family was treated by social services in Colorado, and the antipathy social services agents reveal towards Christians.

Sex Ed for Kindergarten in Iowa? Social programming takes on new shapes and forms as the modern world continues to unravel. Forced sterilizations in Indiana in the 1920s turn into mandatory sex ed classes for kindergarten in Iowa. But it all adds up to social scientists attempting to control the masses by their centralization, standardizations, and tyrannical usurpation of family government. Kevin Swanson identifies the worldview that is working hard to get your brain in a jar so you can be totally controlled by the scientists who know best.

The breakdown of morality, the family, and civilization itself relies upon the breakdown of the generations. And the generation gaps are widening more than ever now, at an accelerating pace. Unfortunately, even the church is doing what it can to contribute to the breakdown of culture and the severance of the generations. The screenplay, “Fiddler on a Roof” tells the heart-breaking story of the breakdown of the fifth commandment and the destruction of culture in the modern world. But for those families who still want to salvage a civilization by the year 2075, Kevin Swanson gives several important ways they can re-integrate the generations in family and church.

Educated for Judgment If a nation was, say, under the judgment of God, what would it look like? Kevin Swanson gets a checklist out, and starts comparing Deuteronomy 28 to what is going on in our country today. Some similarities? Yep. We survived well and good without God for a good 80 years or so. But what happens when the gods of the market tumble and the smooth-tongued wizards withdraw? So we go back to the beginning of wisdom, and we chuck 80 years of education on this broadcast.

Interview: Dr. Ian Hodge Unlike the Muslims, the Christian Worldview includes music as an essential constituent of a good education. For Christians, music is not an elective. It's basic curriculum. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Ian Hodge, homeschool father and professional musician on the importance of music and the problem of musical illiteracy in a degraded culture. But how do you make music more interesting for your children, and what are the typical traps parents fall into when trying to teach music?
