Generations Radio

What if man is responding to the wrong disaster? What if the problem is not so much man's industrial endeavors, as his materialistic, existentialistic, family-destroying ways? What if the Global Warming scare is just a detraction from the real issues? What if the godless schools and the character-less youth will destroy our nations sooner than our S.U.V.'s will? As scientists turn into alchemists, the statists find the pseudo-science produced helpful for the socialist agenda. Kevin Swanson interviews E. Calvin Beisner from the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance, on a prudent, biblical response to the rising eco-fascism of the day.

If the average child spends 5,000 hours with their peers over six years, is there any wonder that their hearts are primarily connected to the peer group? Children have different teachers each year, and as the years progress they spend less time with their families. So who really disciples the hearts of our children? Kevin Swanson and Mike Cheney discuss the power of peer discipleship on this segment of Generations.

Once death penalty crimes in this country, now it’s just no big deal! The mainline Presbyterians finally caved in to endorsing homosexual clergy. This is the most egregious collapse of the faith since Elijah’s time, when the clergy was endorsing stuff like child sacrifice. One strong indicator that the family has already disintegrated is a mainstream acceptance of this kind of criminal activity (adultery and homosexuality). A couple of homeschooling dads, Kevin Swanson (a Presbyterian) and Mike Cheney (a Baptist) link arms to fight for the life of the faith and family in the 21st century.

One study indicates that 75% of college students return home after graduation. They're not getting work. Should your children leave home at 18? Should your daughters stay with the family until they get married? Since emancipation is normative at 18 today, how do families that feel more integrated handle this?

Whoever controls the ideas contained in the textbooks controls the future of politics, economics, and society in a nation. Who dares enter the conflict of this war? A few courageous souls have taken on the battle since the early part of the 20th century. Finally, after forty years of hard work, a movement has materialized. Israel Wayne from christianworldview.net addresses his “Education Manifesto” he placed on his website several weeks ago, on this edition of Generations.

Sweden presents itself as the socialist utopia of the modern world. But as it rids itself of the remnants of faith, family, and freedom it is slowly turning into a rather dreary dystopia. The country has an unprecedented 55% illegitimacy rate! It's standard of living is almost half of what we enjoy in America. The few Christian schools have purged biblical thinking in favor of endorsing homosexuality and evolution – thanks largely to pressure from a draconian state. Is the faith entirely dead there? Is the family entirely obsolete in this socialist haven? Or are there tiny slivers of light? Kevin Swanson interview homeschooling leader and father, Mike Chapa, who just returned from an important visit with those suffering persecution at the hands of the state in Sweden. You will be amazed at the death of a culture, and signs of life that still hang on in the darkest corners in the world.

Here is one of the most interesting stories you'll ever hear! It is the story of how a Planned Parenthood Director decided to walk across the street and join the pro-life organization that had opposed her for eight years! Worldviews clashed. The truth is camouflaged by a hundred layers of deceit. But by the grace of God, some make it out. Abby Johnson tells her story on this edition of Generations. It is the dramatic story of a former Planned Parenthood Leader's eye-opening journey across the life line. You will get a look from both sides of the fence on this abortion issue. How to Planned Parenthood employees view themselves? How do they look at the pro-life community? How do we penetrate the powerful systems, the lies, and the funding that buttresses the pro-death culture in this country? Why is the church largely to blame for its failure to take a stand on this issue?

Osama Bin Laden, Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq. One of the purposes of civil government is to defend the nation's borders from direct attack, and to protect its citizenry from foreign aggressors. Kevin Swanson interviews Doug Phillips on America's last constitutionally legitimate war, World War II. What might we teach our children about this important historical chapter in American history? A grateful nation will honor their fathers for the positive contribution made in previous generations. This may be our last opportunity to do that for the World War II generation.

Random attacks on the family-integrated churches seem to pop up around the internet from time to time. Evidently, the modern church isn't all that keen on somebody upsetting the model de jure. Being careful not to name any names, Kevin Swanson interacts with the articles, the resolutions, etc. that oppose these reforming movements. Most attempts to reform argue over emphases, and much can be left up to liberty and wisdom calls. But is it possible that the traditions of men make the laws of God of none effect, here and there? In the end, the fire will tell whether our arguments were over camels or gnats, whether Christian ministries compromised with worldly methods for educating and disciple-ing our children. Some will have more wood, hay, and stubble; and others will have the gold, silver and precious stones.

Apocalyptic fever is in the air . . . and has been since the 1800's. But the date setters are always wrong and then face their own crisis in credibility. Kevin Swanson interviews Gary DeMar, author of "Last Day's Madness" on the recent date from Harold Camping: May 21 2011. Is it better to leave eschatology for the prophecy nuts? Do we abandon it altogether? Or would it be better to say a few things, and leave a lot of other things unsaid and uncertain? Here is a balanced discussion on Christ's return, the present socio-economic crises, and our mission on earth.
