Bill Nye's pretty sure that all these dumb creationists and their worldview will be gone in a few hundred years. But maybe we should talk about science! It would be really good the "Science Guy" could define science. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Georgia Purdam from Answers in Genesis on the right way to teach evolution and creation to children. Should children leap to conclusions based upon highly-tenuous, highly-debatable, highly presupposition-weighted "evidence" from some guy in a white lab coat? Let's raise scientists who can think rationally about science and the limitations of the human mind.

Revolutionary changes in birth control, abortion access, and socialist medicine are happening as we speak! Obamacare is widening access to abortifacients and morning-after pills through schools and businesses. Now schools across the country are able to provide morning-after pills and sterilization to 14-year-old girls without their parents' permission. The differences in worldviews are getting even more pronounced. The world is killing off its young; we're not.

What is God's plan for the discipleship of the nations? Did the Apostles reach the "kids" with a Vacation Bible School? Or was there something more intensive going on with discipleship? Did they reach the fathers and mothers, and teach the fathers to bring their children up in the nurture of the Lord? With a 2800% drop-off in a Biblical Worldview among Christian kids in just one generation (from 14% to 0.5%), the last 40 years of youth ministry has turned into an almost TOTAL DISASTER! Kevin Swanson interviews Scott Brown from the National Center for Family Integrated Churches on the vision for discipleship in the 21st century.

History may not be a big deal to some, but our nation and culture are made by events like the War of 1812. This year marks the 200th year anniversary of the war. It was the last time a foreign nation invaded our shores. Historian Bill Potter explains the complexities, aggressors, stimulants to war, battles fought, and effects of this memorable war in America's history.

The heyday of the Religious Right of the 80s and 90s is over. Some are dancing on its grave. But we're asking questions. Where did the Religious Right go wrong? Where was the epistemological foundation for the movement? Where was the multigenerational vision? Kevin Swanson interviews Steve Deace, author of the book "We Won't Be Fooled Again," on this edition of the broadcast.

Pastors in Hammond, Indiana, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Bartlesville, Oklahoma in trouble with underaged girls? Why do pastors fall into sexual sin? What is happening to the Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic Church with all of its scandals? Why do politicians on power trips often fall into sexual sin, and what can the rest of us learn from this? This sounds like 1 Peter. 4:17 is happening NOW. Moreover, a recent Barna poll finds that only 0.5% of youth (18-24 years of age) have a biblical worldview down from 14% among their parents. Modern youth ministries have failed. They get an F-. It's time to admit total failure for the present model of church youth work. Kevin Swanson tries to interact with the abject failure of the churches in this generation.

America's reputation as the home to the world's freest economy is declining fast. America is no longer the land of the free and home of the brave. According to the 2012 Economic Freedom of the World Report, America dropped from #10 to #18 in just the last 3 years! Throughout the 1980s an 1990s, America stood strong at third place. But free no longer! America is now ranked behind Denmark and Finland! Shall we move to Finland for freedom? Is there anybody left in America who values freedom? Kevin Swanson is still collecting names for those who want to build the Second Mayflower.

Just as we predicted, the liberals and autonomists are finally advocating incest! A Hollywood movie director is squarely behind it, and a new movie is advocating it. So Kevin Swanson asks the real question, "When will the churches get behind it?" Will churches use Leviticus 20 as the clear God-sourced ethical statement on incest? Or will they encourage incest? It is either God's Law or bust! Either churches will preach God's law as the ethical standard, or they will follow the culture into Gomorrah.

Bryan Walchle runs a hunting lodge out on the Eastern Slope of the Rocky Mountains. It has been a generational family economic venture. His 13 year old daughter just shot her first bear (a 400 pound animal) last week! Here we talk about the blessings of the hunt, the lessons our children learn, and the proper biblical dominion over wildlife.

Over the last 30 years, nobody has produced better Christian music for children than Judy Rogers! Her substantive lyrics, biblical content, and child-friendly musicality is without comparison in the market today. For any families in America who are looking for wholesome songs and Biblically-based content, you could do no better. Kevin Swanson interviews Judy and her husband Wayne on this edition of Generations.
