The stock market is entering bear market status, and the next Great Recession is almost certain. But, most troubling now is the farm crisis and food shortages looming. Price fixing on the part of the big corporations isn’t helping the little guy, and the disappearance of the family farm will prove problematic. Before we get to practical preparations, we address the more important subject—spiritual preparation. How do we prepare spiritually for what is coming? 

Evangelical Christians tend to give Disney a free pass when it comes to their older movies and shows. However, did Disney ever have a righteous agenda? On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the negative impact Disney has had on the culture, from back in the 80s and 90s to now.

What can we say for pastors who are not teaching a biblical worldview? Only 12% of youth pastors and 13% of teaching pastors have a biblical worldview, and they tend to be weakest on areas of morality. Why are pastors weak on God's law? And, what about pastors who send their children to public schools? Should a concerned congregant speak to a pastor who sends his children to public schools that do not teach the fear of God as the beginning of wisdom and knowledge?

Ethnic hatred is nothing new. The wars of the nations are often based in this, whether it be Chinese, Taiwanese, Whites in America, or Hutus in Rwanda. Immigrants are often discipled by communists and Democrats, but the international flood into the nations offers better opportunities for Jesus's people to disciple the nations. We also discuss whether Western civilization will be saved by keeping immigrants out, or by humility and repentance before God among these Western nations.

High-level social planners, Babel-wannabes, technocrats, and techno-worshipers come together in the World Economic Forum in 2019 to map out their Covid-19 response six months before it happens. We provide examples of modern-day elitists and philosopher-kings (or technocrats) who are hoping to subjugate mankind via technology and the power of the state. Yet, the technology that is supposed to save mankind turns to destructive ends. Covid-19 provided substantial and sufficient social conditioning for the next step in the sequence laid out by the technocrats. There is, however, one factor they are not considering . . . God. Our discussion with Kendle Nichols, producer of the video “Prudent Preparation,” lends insight into what Christians should do to prepare for these developments. 

Well-known evangelical writer Jen Hatmaker argues in favor of abortion, while the extremely influential evangelical pastor Tim Keller presents his case for the legalization of abortion. Keller's argument in a nutshell: "If we refuse to ban idolatry, we must be open to continued legalized abortion as at least a legitimate Christian posture." What's wrong with the line of thinking? Would you recommend Keller's worldview?

Only 2% of millennial parents hold to a Biblical worldview, while 67% still claim to be Christians—latest Barna results. We take a look at the PCUSA’s, EPC’s, and PCA's birth rates—and find that the PCUSA’s and EPC's birth rates are about half the national average. They have an aging church population, and they're just not having kids. The PCA's is about the same as the national average—still low. But what are the real worldview issues underlying all of this? What makes for a healthy, reforming, biblical church? While birth rates aren't the number-one issue, what are the worldview issues that really matter?

The urge to “change the world” or to “make the world a better place” may not be so great after all. Eileen Gu doesn’t believe in right and wrong, but only “right intentions,” but then the “road to hell is paved with good intentions.” What about the efforts on the part of huge, anti-Christ governments like the United Nations? Are we really on board with their programs to “change the world” or “make the world a better place?” Thankfully, Somebody already came to change the world, and the only way the world is ever going to change is through a change of heart.  

We answer a question about whether Christians have the obligation to adopt snowflake children. Shall a family be obligated to impregnate five daughters as a family ministry to rescue these orphans? Then we chronicle the corrupting power and influence of popular culture, and the subsequent death of this transient cultural form.

So, everything is to be submitted to Christ . . . except for the civil government? Is that how it works? Why are Christians so hesitant to submit their politics to rule of Jesus Christ? But, what does the Christian do when he is the far minority, and there is little opportunity to impact politics?
