After the Fall of the West Two recent news stories chronicle the decline of the Christian church in America as well as the collapse of the socio-economic system put together by the humanists over the last 500 years. Two things are happening simultaneously, as we witness some of the most interesting developments in human history. The Christian church is collapsing in the west. The faith is failing, but so are the humanist empires. The empty shell of a weak Christian faith is broken, but there was nothing substantial inside of it anyway. But all of this provides great opportunity and hope for those who had never put all that much stock in the empires, or a fatally-compromised religion. We also interact with an important editorial in the Christian Science Monitor, "The Coming Evangelical Collapse."

From Professional to Family Man Economic systems have contributed greatly to the disintegration of the family in the modern world, but how does one re-incorporate a family into the wider economic picture? This was not a major problem when society was largely agrarian, but professionals today find family relationships difficult if not impossible to cultivate within a family-fragmenting economic construct. Nevertheless, there are a few families whose hearts are turning towards home. They are discovering unique ways to unify the family around the oikonomia, moving us from a corporate board-driven economy to a father-driven economy. Here Steve Vaughn shares his journey from the corporate workaholic to the entrepreneur workaholic, and finally to a biblical life where dominion, relationships, and faith find true expression.

Revolutionary Culture What is the fundamental problem with a culture that devolves in all of its forms? Warning! Kevin Swanson describes the modern youth culture in sharply descriptive terms. The power of the principle of honoring parents is discussed. Without it, cultures turn cannibalistic and self-destructive. With a principle like this, there will be a generational reformation that will eclipse all others.

Worldviews Matter If you wanted to continue to the trend of children born without fathers and the rise in divorce... what would you do? What sort of education would give a daughter? Don't change anything the culture has been doing for the last 30 years. Do exactly what we have been doing. That's the advice Kevin Swanson gives on this segment of Generations. The feminist worldview of Gloria Steinem basically rules today. Some sarcastically refer to her and others as feminazis. But the culture of the public schools, churches, conservative politics, and conservative media have imbibed deeply of this worldview.

Live With It, Love, or Leave? Almost everybody has problems with their church. It's inevitable if you have people attending, or even sinners for that matter. The type of church you go to is critical, and Kevin Swanson reviews several elements of a healthy church. But part of a healthy church is the ability to deal with relational problems, practical disagreements, or doctrinal disagreements in a biblical manner. This is critical if you are going to have a healthy spiritual life. Also, you don't miss Kevin Swanson's 12 signs that you may be attending the wrong church in this episode of Generations.

Bodies, Beauty, and Boys 78% of American girls are unhappy with their bodies by age 17. So what's missing in this picture? Fathers perhaps? Kevin Swanson suggests that there are systemic problems in the raising of teenage girls that will result in an almost total breakdown in the raising of these girls. These girls are being raised with the wrong value system, the wrong agendas, the wrong education, the wrong goals in mind, and the wrong social setting. To attempt to fix it with duct tape is an exercise in futility. Learn to raise daughters in God's order of things, and they will enjoy his blessings, great fulfillment in life, not to mention clear direction and purpose.

Interview: Little Bear Wheeler The elimination of God from American schools was virtually complete by 1920. Listen to this interview with historian, Richard 'Little Bear' Wheeler for some outstanding examples of God's providential hand working in our history. By removing these references in history books over 4 generations, what has happened to the minds and hearts of children and adults? Have we become a godless people?

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child With the changing political climate in DC, do we have what it takes to face off the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child with its draconian statist agenda? Parents incarcerated for spanking? Schools forbidden to teach from a Christian perspective anywhere in America? It is the most egregious attack on family freedoms and national sovereignty in our lifetimes, and it is gaining momentum. If you are a parent or plan to be one sometime in the future, you need to listen to this interview with Michael Farris, Chairman of Home School Legal Defense Association.

Interview: Dr. Rob Carter Does the Human Genome Project clinch the deal on evolution, or does it prove rather that humans descended from one couple who lived approximately 4500 years ago? Kevin Swanson interviews Geneticist, Dr. Rob Carter from Creation Ministries International on this segment of Generations.
