Generations Radio

Guest host Adam McManus concludes his fascinating conversation with Claire Culwell, a young woman who survived her birth mother’s abortion. After Claire discovers the truth of her birth story, watch how God empowers this died-in-the-wool introvert to share her remarkable testimony in front of abortion mills, in speeches to concerned citizens to a crowd of 20,000 people in New York Times Square, and before millions on Fox & Friends. Perhaps most amazingly, Claire providentially becomes best friends with Abby Johnson, who aborted two of her children and was the one-time Planned Parenthood Director in College Station, Texas. After participating in an ultrasound-guided abortion, Johnson left the abortion industry, became a pro-life advocate, got married, and is now raising eight children. Her life is featured in the book and movie entitled Unplanned. Claire’s own unplanned pregnancy puts her pro-life convictions to the test. It’s all recorded in her book Survivor: An Abortion Survivor's Surprising Story of Choosing Forgiveness and Finding Redemption. One thing becomes clear: what the Devil meant for evil, God turned to good.

Claire Culwell, a young woman who miraculously survived the abortion that should have killed her, shares her remarkable story with guest host Adam McManus. Raised in a loving adoptive home, Claire, at the age of 21, decided to meet her birth mother. She was in for the shock of her life! Her birth mother, Tonya, confessed that when she was pregnant with Claire at the age of 13, she’d gone to an abortion mill. Listen to part 1 of a two-part conversation based on Claire’s new book entitled Survivor: An Abortion Survivor’s Surprising Story of Choosing Forgiveness and Finding Redemption. Lila Rose, president of Live Action -- which does undercover investigative videos of abortion mills -- said, “Claire’s heart-wrenching and inspiring story is exactly what our world needs today.”

Hebrews 13:3 instructs us not to forget those who are in chains. Persecution is heating up all across the globe, and is perhaps the most intense we have seen since the times of the reformation. The Chinese persecution is no exception, with Pastor Wang Yi now having been in prison for two years and counting. Pastor Steve Hopkins joins us on this edition of the program to discuss the issue of the Chinese persecution and that which could be coming to all of us around the world. Visit chinapersecution.org to find out more about Pastor Wang Yi's story, teaching, and updates.

Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss culture in this edition of Generations. What was really behind the eventual outcomes of Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges? Was it the Supreme Court or the universities? Ultimately, these decisions came about because of the cultural zeitgeist, and the power that JK Rowling, Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, Lady Gaga, etc. have had over millions of young people. Movies and music have a way of desensitizing people to sin and ratcheting it up until there is nothing more to be desensitized to.

Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the abortion case that has now gone to the US Supreme Court, as well as the shifts in American culture and government over the past 20-30 years. As we now face an increasingly anti-Christian culture, they ask the question: How should we respond?

A Christian school in the Denver area is in hot water with the federal courts for taking the “wrong” position on racial justice. This introduces a discussion on racial justice—a subject that is inciting a great deal of class envy, horrible social divisiveness, and even church dissension. God is sovereign, and He favors privileges and advantages for some over others as He wills. While the government is not called on to solve all inequities, there may be some instances in which the government creates inequities. We give examples. 

Baylor University folds to the agenda, and the CCCU is groping around in the dark, trying to find where homosexuality intersects with the Christian faith. But, will the Christian colleges ever realize that their purpose is not to receive federal funds to build up more philosophy on autonomous human reason? What would the Lord say to Laodicea, funded by the state, and/or wishing to fulfill the expectations of Title IX? Buy gold tried in the fire.

Should Christian doctors perform sex change surgeries? Given that the federal government is now forcing the issue, would this constitute a capitulation to sin and a fatal compromise of the faith? More fundamentally, why is the government so regulating medicine. . . and education. . . and everything else. The two-step process by which governments destroy every area of life is to first gain control over some institution, and then secondly to corrupt it and pervert it. Will the same thing happen with homeschooling? 

Sadly, the Duggar family has become a circus side show for the world. And, Christians like the Benham brothers or the Duck Dynasty guys turn into kick toys for the “LGBT”-saturated, leftist media cartel. But, we get down to the real root problem with reality TV programs on this edition. Worldly fame is worthless. But for Christians, worldly acclaim will always backfire. Interestingly, HGTV, A&E, and TLC have all featured Christians and cancelled them eventually when they turn out to be anti-LGBT. There is the exception of the Gaines, who were able to distance themselves from that “anti-LGBT” pastor and the Bible. What was it Jesus said in John 15:18? 

In this edition of the Generations radio program, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss evolution and the blatant racism that was propounded by the founding fathers of evolution, in addition to a discussion on women taking on the role of pastor in the modern church.
