"We're so proud of you! Live your dreams! You are the future!" You've heard the cliche's that ramble off the podium at the graduation commencements. Kevin Swanson analyzes these, often empty aphorisms in light of biblical language and metaphysics. Almost half of college graduates from 2009 have yet to find a position in their career. We interact with these studies, as well as a video produced by the National Inflation Association relating to the quickly-collapsing college bubble.

Extensive surveys of Christian colleges indicate a fair amount of "religious" compromise, and a "house divided against itself." Incredibly, 78% of the Religion Department heads take the Old Earth Perspective, while only 35% of the Science Department heads take that position. What gives? Do these "Religion" guys know more about science than the "Science" guys? Here is an eye-opening program concerning the state of the faith in America, as Kevin Swanson interviews Ken Ham on the state of Christian colleges and universities in the United States.

Newsweek reports on a prominent evangelical family in America. Three of the children are divorced; there’s drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, eating disorders, spousal abuse, and alcohol abuse. Is this normative, or is there a different biblical model for family life? The weakness of the faith is obvious in the breakdown of the family in this country, but how do we build it back? Kevin Swanson interviews Voddie Baucham on his book, “Family-Driven Faith” on this edition of Generations.

Parental rights are fast disappearing in western countries. "The Child" is a documentary that explores the current state of parent rights in America. An unseen battle is developing between the rights of parents and the authority of the government to direct the upbringing of children. The stakes are high; the outcome of this struggle with affect countless future generations. Kevin Swanson interviews Grace Tate, the director of this documentary. Will we have what it takes to turn the tide on the tsunami that is rolling over parental rights in this country?

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.
