Many men find themselves in economic slavery to debt and corporations. They have a hard time "calling their own shots." They find that they work for "the man," and they would like some independence and freedom. There are many roads to freedom, and this interview with entrepreneur Dave Tucker will open up the economic world for you. Don't miss this interview!

Theology matters. What is taught in the seminaries is usually preached in the churches a few years later. Could it be that what is taught in the churches is destroying the nation? Are there seminaries that are to blame for the separation of faith from life—and the failure of Christians to influence the culture? Sadly, a large segment of the church is taken by a two-kingdom pietism and an aversion to the application of God’s law to all areas of life. This two-kingdom ideology affects many if not most Lutherans, Catholics, Evangelicals, and other mainline denominations. These “two-kingdom” folks take a different view of the Christian faith, the relationship of faith to life, and the interaction of the individual with his institutions and relationships. Author and seminary teacher John Frame has written a book titled The Escondido Theology. Dr. Frame discusses these attempts to revive two-kingdom thinking in the present generation among evangelicals, reformed seminaries, and churches. Visit Kevin Swanson’s blog for more background on this important topic.

Education isn't neutral, but what about mathematics? Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner demonstrate the religious character of math on this edition of the program. But what about the method of education used today? Does it engender more of an institutionalized form of living? Does it program the future minions to submit to a socialized, governmentalized world (at every level)?

The trouble with history is that the good guys can get the bad press and the bad guys receive the glory. This is especially true when humanism dominates the philosophies undergirding the history textbooks. Kevin Swanson interviews Marcus Serven, a homeschool father of nine on his historical research on History's True Heroes.

When it comes to the use of the rod, Christianity Today now encourages parents "to explore more creative and effective ways to train up our children in the way they should go." Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner discuss those creative and effective ways of child discipline, and then take up William Webb's Redemptive Hermeneutic in an age of antinomianism and ethical chaos (in the church, that is).

Planned Parenthood calls ultrasounds of live babies "abhorrent." But we find abortion and Planned Parenthood "abhorrent." So who is right? What's more abhorrent? Abortion or ultrasounds of abortions? Kevin Swanson interviews Mike Adams from Townhall.com on why liberals tend to kill babies.

The year 2012 is shaping up as one of the most outstanding for the Christian film industry. Douglas Phillips from Vision Forum joins us to talk about the semi-finalists for the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival.

Over the 1800s, Christians worked hard to turn cannibals into Christians. Now Christians are moving in the other direction. It’s not hard to understand the elements of pagan culture. Pagans eat blood, get tattoos, mutilate their bodies, take their clothes off, cremate bodies at death, and commit infanticides and abortions. Sadly, Christians have been slowly incorporating these pagan rites into their own cultural practices. Kevin Swanson goes back to some of the basic elements of Christian belief and practice. Why do Christians convocate on the first day of the week? Why have Christians been pro-life from the beginning? Why do Christians refuse to get tattoos or mutilate their bodies? Why do Christians insist on modest clothing? Why do Christians refuse to drink blood? Why do Christians believe in justification by faith alone? Why do we as Christians refuse to separate God’s forgiveness from our love and obedience to His commands?

PETA argues for Personhood for dolphins in Florida and a High Court rules that Sharia law is okay in Oklahoma. Kevin Swanson argues that you can’t rule a nation by contradictory law systems. At some point you need to pick a worldview or a basis of law; otherwise, the nation fragments into several pieces. But what is happening on the macro scale? Kevin Swanson reviews the worldwide influence of Islam and Christianity. While the Muslims are taking over Europe and the apostatizing West, the Christian faith is finding huge receptivity in the 10-40 window! Supreme ironies are on this edition of Generations.

How to destroy marital intimacy. . . Talk about it all the time in explicit, scientific, and pornographic terms. There is a reason that Song of Songs is presented in metaphoric, poetic language. There is a special modesty about the language. But this has virtually disappeared in the modern age. What about the Christian how-to-manuals, or Mark Driscoll's new addition to the mix? Kevin Swanson encourages a healthy, biblical handling of marital intimacy issues.
