More Dead Faith A Catholic Bishop asks Patrick Kennedy, (Ted's son) to forgo communion, because of his position on killing babies, and Pat is not very happy about it. So goes the controversy. But if we weren't just playing church and we were really holding the keys, would we really want to have communion with serial killers, rapists, and homosexuals? In this segment of Generations, Kevin Swanson discusses the importance of communion and meaningful spiritual accountability and leadership in the church. Faith without works is dead, and that goes for Patrick Kennedy too.

Why Evolutionists Give Way to Irrationality Relativism hinges on evolution, and both open the door to irrationality in human thought and inquiry. But do evolutionists really take the ultimate questions seriously? What am I? Am I just an unintended, highly-evolved piece of nothing? Author Paul Myrant take the evolution debate where it really needs to go. It's time to stop playing patty-cake with pseudo-science and "evidence" that doesn't exist. Our discussions on evolution must lead to the deeper metaphysical questions. "Scientific commitment to naturalism and natural selection causes scientists to devote all, or at least most of their time and energy in defense of these anti-supernatural assumptions," says Myrant. Instead of remaining open-minded, they entrench themselves within their belief system and look for evidence that support their presuppositions.

What to do about it Parents complain about their sullen, ungrateful, slothful teens, and wonder what to do about them. Even some home schooled graduates are still sitting around the house, supremely unmotivated and unfocused. Maybe they’ve rejected the idea of college, but Plan B is a little fuzzy, and they’re making choices that are even worse. Kevin Swanson provides some simple biblical answers to these all-to-common problems.

As Modest as Dogs University dorm rooms now allow opposite-gender roommates, and Miley Cyrus continues to lead the teeny-bopping 14 year old girls to maturity, which is another word for breaking the 7th commandment. With the world losing all concepts of modesty and sexual boundaries, Kevin Swanson suggests that it's time to drag out the old biblical standards, and re-examine them.

...and Hockey Moms Are we really going to salvage a nation where 95% of those getting married confess to marital sex, with the "smoking-hot sexiest evangelical of them all?" And if the nation's real problem is that 40% of children are born without fathers and the family is breaking down, how will we save this world by conservative talk show hosts working on their 4th divorce, and Republicans whose families are in shambles? Kevin Swanson is working on Plan B, just in case the above doesn't work on this issue of the Generations broadcast.

...in Matters of Faith and Life? The Sufficiency of Scripture Conference In 1480, the devil had a problem, a big problem. . . Gutenberg. For the first time in hundreds of years, the Bible would be accessible to the ordinary fellow in the common tongue. So the devil had to come up with Plan B, fast. Now practically everybody in America has access to a Bible, but it doesn’t make much of a difference anymore. Doctrinal systems were created, diversions introduced whereby the authority, the relevance, and the sufficiency of Scripture were undermined. This would become the undoing of the Christian faith in Europe, Canada, Australia, and America. Kevin Swanson interviews Scott Brown on the Sufficiency of Scripture conference sponsored by the National Center for Family Integrated Churches in Cincinnati in December.

Interview: Alex Chediak Over the last 20 years, both men and women show a considerable increase in age at marriage. Men are now on average two years older when they marry than the mean age of marriage for men in 1980. Women are three years older on average now, than the mean marriage age in the 1980. This does not bode well for Christians who want to retain values like sexual purity, the integrity of the family, and a selfless, anti-existentialist lifestyle that doesn't implode birth rates in all the western countries. Ironically, 86% of singles say they "want to be married." Kevin Swanson interviews Alex Chediak, the author of an important new book on singleness for Christians. Alex provides some terrific wisdom for singles, but also some helpful advice for church communities who have an interest in launching young people into adulthood and marriage. The goal, of course is to get these young folks from singleness to marriage without sexual sin, emotional heartache, and excessive delay.

Gossip Girl and Anime Culture Check With every generation, the mainstream gets more edgy in their entertainment offerings. Kevin Swanson refers to a shocking cartoon feature in the Sunday Post, where a child calls for a human sacrifice, just to keep things "interesting." Programs that used to push the edge like Three's Company move aside now for Gossip Girl and the sexual confusion that dominates in this sick offering from CW Network. Then, Kevin analyzes the latest fad with American kids, not to exclude Christian children – Japanese Anime and Manga.

Men who Won't Engage So we have this society where 70% of young men are not grown up by 30 years of age, up from 30% in the 1970s. But what happens when some poor woman marries one of these men? Is she forced to wear the pants in the house while junior plays his video games and engages his sports hobbies? Kevin Swanson speaks to an all-to-common struggle on the part of millions of Christian women across America. Society is changing dramatically and far more women will be the leaders, the producers, and the sustainers of homes in the next few decades.
