How to Disciple an Orphaned Teen A Google search on "Youth Group Leader" will quickly uncover the problem with tossing a 23-year-old single male into the role of disciple-ing 15-16 year old girls. The silliness of modern church methods aside, how does one disciple 15-16 year old girls, and boys? Kevin Swanson digs to the root of the breakdown of the Christian faith, pointing out the shallowness of faith, life, and discipleship. Then he challenges leaders to reassess their methodologies, and work for a radically different paradigm for church in the 21st century (especially in relation to handling youth). The faith is dying. It's time for leaders in the church to come to grips with these realities! This edition of Generations will stimulate ideas and open discussions into new avenues, as we pursue the Great Commission in the next Millennium.

Who Wrote the Program? Since Darwin, it seems that the more scientists learn about the natural world, the more questions arise concerning naturalist explanations for the appearance of life and order on planet earth. So as not to abandon all rationality in metaphysical exploration and thought, it seems it is still important to include God in the mix. All other theories seem to be found wanting. Kevin Swanson here interviews Dr. Stephen Meyer from the Discovery Institute (of "Expelled" fame), on his book "Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design." Listen to this program and you’ll find that every cell in the universe of the human body declares the glory of God!

Are Public Schools an Enemy to Faith? The roots of this nation are Christian, but why? Kevin Swanson interviews E. Raymond Moore from Exodus Mandate on the Christian roots of the nation and the subsequent fall of the nation into humanism by way of socialism and public schools through the 1800s. Is education all that important? Most parents, even Christian parents don't think so. But ideas are powerful things, and the battle rages hottest right here. Some discussion follows on the Christian Ministry Report Card assembled by the Exodus Mandate, identifying those ministries more or less savvy on this important issue (that will make or break our nation in the next generation).

The Most "Educated" States This edition of Generations covers the Pew Forum's survey on religion across the American states. Kevin Swanson points out that the most godless states in America correlate with the most educated states. But the roots of a state matter, as well. What happened 100 years ago in any people group has a profound influence on where the state will go in the future.

One Precious Life Salvaged The integrity of the "right" is shattered when the principle is undermined, and men take an inconsistent position on the right to life. Nowhere do we find a more egregious chink in the integrity of the "conservatives" than in the abortion exceptions made for rape and incest. In this segment of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews Rebecca Kiessling, a woman conceived in rape and now a homeschool mom of five and national advocate for the right to life.

What the Fall of an Empire Looks Like We are experiencing some very historic events RIGHT NOW! After 250 years of a glorious nation and a rising empire, the year 2000 marked the beginning of the decline. Now, all indices (including economic and political) indicate that America is now in decline as a world power. A new era is dawning in the world. But how do Christians view these changes? Kevin Swanson sounds a hopeful, but sober challenge on this issue of Generations.

Avatar - The Ultimate Escape from Reality As the empire collapses, the box office is breaking all-time records. Apparently, the people still want bread and games. Kevin Swanson reviews two super block-buster movies, along with the recent release of Sherlock Holmes on this edition of Generations. Where is the culture headed? What is the world and life view that is supported by billions of dollars at the box office? Listen to this edition of Generations and find out how modern man seeks the ultimate escape from reality.

Interview: Paul Washer Whatever the Christian "Gospel" became over the last generation or so within the evangelical church was not substantial enough to salvage the faith. So serious Christians are beginning to define the Gospel using biblical language, and they're bringing back old biblical notions such as the Fear of God, Repentance, and Regeneration. Kevin Swanson interviews Paul Washer on his his recent messages calling a nation to repentance, and starting with "evangelicals!"

Poodles in Tutus World magazine carries a blog that follows a nice Christian girl who has enlisted in the marines, with patriotic fervor to defend the interests of the empire (and to share the gospel with Iraqis;). Then Kevin Swanson hands the 45 to his daughter the night a burglar breaks in, while he snuggles under the covers. What is happening in the hearts of the fathers of this nation? We take a look at the biblical principles relating to women and the military on this segment of Generations, and the role of fathers in defending their homes.

Relationships or Drywall Since 1900, the birth rate in this country halved and the square footage doubled, an inescapable revelation of a nation's values. We love dry wall more than children! In one of the most powerful interviews we've ever done on Generations, Erik Weir gives testimony to how one high-flying, successful businessman hit the wall. His actions and his life betrayed his true heart values, and God shook him to the core. God isn't about stuff like money, drywall, food, and drink, as He is about the things which make for peace, and the things wherewith we edify one another – R-E-L-A-T-I-O-N-S-H-I-P-S. Whether you are a two income family, putting 106 hours away from the home into your $95K a year, or the guy with his private jet pulling in 5 mil a year, you need to hear this passionate, urgently-important message from Erik Weir!
