Interview: Dr. Ian Hodge
Unlike the Muslims, the Christian Worldview includes music as an essential constituent of a good education. For Christians, music is not an elective. It's basic curriculum. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Ian Hodge, homeschool father and professional musician on the importance of music and the problem of musical illiteracy in a degraded culture. But how do you make music more interesting for your children, and what are the typical traps parents fall into when trying to teach music?

How Christians Survive in Apocalyptic Times Kevin Swanson reviews the post-apocalyptic film, The Book of Eli, in the which a lone man preserves the last copy of the King James Version of the Bible on planet earth. Is Hollywood capable of producing a Christian film, and how might a film like this compare to Ben Hur or the Ten Commandments? But why apocalyptic films? Is modern man expecting judgment? Should society break down into anarchy, how might a Christian conduct himself? In this engaging edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson compares the character Eli with a true Christian whom might find himself in a societal breakdown, (which by the way has happened in the history of the world.)

Sex Ed - Marquis de Sade Style In a Brave New World, complete with sex education materials of which Marquis de Sade would heartily approve, children become the sad victims, while the institution of the family continues its decline into the abyss. Quite a bit has changed in just 20 years with the sort of sex education materials that organizations like SIECUS and Planned Parenthood provide junior high and high school students. Appealing to parents blessed with a little common sense and a little natural love for their children, Dr. Miriam Grossman provides sensible medical critiques of what these organizations are doing with millions of children in America. Parents whose children might have access to these materials in the public schools or friends of those who attend the public schools should be aware of Dr. Grossman's research on these organizations.

Teaching Good Things Much of education is a monumental waste of time, and fails to prepare children for life. In this helpful interview, Kathy Brodock explains why it is important to teach your children how to do life before they leave the home. Knowledge is important, but so is life.

Interview: Doug Phillips Haiti may be the most impoverished and the most evil nation on earth. Justice is a lost cause. Tyranny and corruption prevail. After losing at least a quarter million people in one of the worst natural disasters of the last century, some ministries wonder if this could be the breakthrough that opens up opportunities to reach the nation with real discipleship in the Gospel of Christ. Vision Forum’s Doug Phillips gives a first hand report on the cataclysmic devastation, the death, and the chaos in the aftermath of the earthquake. Yet, it is here that light shines through the darkness, and the contrast between good and evil is strikingly sharp. Mercy does triumph in judgment, every time. But judgment isn’t fun.

Cracks in the Liberal Agenda Conservativism is dying. But so is liberalism. As a nation begins to fall apart, all of the "proposed solutions" come to naught. Meanwhile, Christians are working to accommodate a "larger tent." And the gods of the copybook headings limp up to explain it once more. Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner are outrageously optimistic for an altogether different agenda, on Generations.

Family Films After 100 years of centralized control of film production and distribution in the hands of a very few power-brokers, now the markets are breaking home for decentralization of media and culture. In this exciting interview with Steve Morales from Freedom Film Distributors, Kevin Swanson talks about bringing film production and distribution into family economies across the country (and around the world).

Building New Dikes The Political Dikes that keep government tyranny from crushing our villages are weakening. It’s all we can do to keep our fingers and toes in the dikes under the severe onslaught of socialism and the destruction of the family (the only real bastion against total socialism). But we’re building new dikes. A new generation is rising up with a stronger sense of family solidarity, and a desire to defend our freedoms. Here Kevin Swanson interviews Aaron Watson from Teen Pact about a program that has been equipping young Christian teens on biblical principles in government, and the importance of involvement in the civil sphere.

Patrick Henry College How many Daniel's and Esther's are being raised now in the kitchens and living rooms across this country? And, how might God use them to salvage liberties for His people in the year 2025? Dr. Brian Ray's study on "Homeschooling Grows Up," found that homeschoolers (18-25 years of age), were 14X more likely to be involved civically in political campaigns. Now there are Christian colleges like Patrick Henry College that are preparing these young people to make an impact on their society in the areas of politics and the judicatory. PHC is in the news after winning the National Moot Court Championship competition again, making this the 4th win out of 6 years. In this segment of Generations, Kevin Swanson interviews college chancellor, Michael Farris and the students who took home the win - Rachel Heflin and Jenna Lawrence.

A Revolutionary Force in Society Eighty nations are experiencing birth implosions. There are less children in the world today than there were in 2000. The Muslims will take over Europe, and South Korea is on the edge of extinction. A very important accommodation to the existentialism of Sartre came by way of a scientific breakthrough made available to the public in 1960. The scientific breakthrough that revolutionized society in the 20th century? The Pill. Kevin Swanson interacts with the psychology of the Pill, the effects of the Pill, and the ethics of the Pill on its 50th anniversary, in this edition of Generations.

The Utter Destruction of the Family There is 20 times the incidence of child sexual abuse in shacked-up homes than in the biblical norm of homes with married biological parents! And 10 times the physical abuse! And 10 times the emotional abuse! That according to the Dept of Health and Human Services, Study of Child Abuse and Neglect. The godless, family-destroying, cultural institutions have done their best to bring about this horror. But how are we ever going to win this cultural battle now? All trends point to these indexes being at least seven times worse in another 20 years from now. There are a few radio programs out there that are doing their best to salvage Christian culture and social conditions. But why are we failing? Kevin Swanson addresses comments from Dr. James Dobson and Brannon Howse, and talks real solutions to our cultural milieu on this edition of Generations.
