Riding the Slide to Gomorrah A well-known CCM artist comes out of the closet on Larry King Live. Meantime, several evangelical college professors work on an apologetic for homosexual behavior in psychological counseling. Here Kevin Swanson interviews Laurie Higgins from the Illinois Family Institute on the evangelical crisis on the slide into Gomorrah.

Unit Studies and Various Un-boxy Ideas 95% of education is a waste of time, because it neglects to incorporate God's theory on education. For example, how do you integrate the particulars into the whole, and bring ideas into life? Institutionalized education has a really hard time doing these sorts of things, but Teri Spray from Christian Cottage Schools will show you how to get out of the box and improve that education for your children! Teri gives a terrific, pedestrian introduction to Unit Studies in this inspirational interview on Generations.

180 Proof Truth and 180 Proof Relationships With 80% of Christian children leaving the faith in the middle of the great collapse of the Christian faith in the west, some fathers are still interested in the generational continuity of family and faith. So a couple of fathers talk about what it's going to take to salvage the faith and root our children into a generational vision that will stand in good stead through the storms of life that are sure to come.

Children and Happiness A doctor in Sarasota, Florida loses his license for aborting the wrong twin, and 50% of American women give birth to unwanted children. Protestants have been a little wishy-washy on the birth control pill, and will that lead to their gradual extermination? That's what the data is shows, at present. While sociologists insist that studies indicate that families with children are far more unhappy than the DINK's (Double-Income, No-Kidders), Kevin Swanson reworks the definition of happiness, and suggests a world based on agape love, not eros.

Kowtowing to the High Priests of Science Reformed seminaries seem to have a penchant for kowtowing the gods of science. We're a little frustrated that science itself has been prostituted for the purpose of propping up a view of metaphysics that is godless and materialistic. But why do reformed professors feel the need to render their prostrations to the pseudo-scientists of evolution? In this segment of Generations, Kevin Swanson grapples with the resignation of Bruce Waltke from Reformed Theological Seminary, and the "overwhelming evidence" for evolution. Are we more likely to interpret rock layers by God's Word, or interpret God's Word by rock layers, or rather the historical guesswork of scientists concerning a few observations of stuff swimming around in rock layers? Questions like this belie an epistemological commitment.

Will There Be a Conservative Backlash? America is not happy. The Messiah didn't come through for us, and now Ron Paul and Barrack Obama are neck and neck in a 2012 Presidential Poll. Will there be a conservative backlash, and can we ride this pendulum for all its worth to the right? Kevin Swanson interviews homeschool graduate and conservative strategist, Ned Ryun from the American Majority on the influence of the Tea Party on 2012 politics.

Interview: Dr. R.C. Sproul, Sr. With the decline of the Christian faith in Europe and America, some wonder whether the Christian faith is over, or whether the reformation ended? But men like Dr. R.C. Sproul Sr. have seen tremendous fruit as he encourages men and women here to explore their reformation roots, and pit reformation metaphysics and ethics against the flood of humanist thinking that has infilitrated the western world. Is God sovereign, and does it matter? Does the Bible speak authoritatively to ethics? What is the relationship of faith and works? If the faith survives in our generation, let's make sure its a robust faith that will survive for generations. Get your roots deep, and get them into church history. That's the message from this edition of Generations.

Reformation Burnout In any reform movement, you will run into “reformation burnout.” Whether it be homeschooling or something else, people lose the vision. Some don't quite get it, and then lose whatever they had. But for those who hang in there, and remain humble and teachable through the process, great things may indeed happen over the generations. Kevin Swanson interviews a second generation homeschool father, Israel Wayne on this edition of the Generations broadcast. We talk about the reasons why some fizzle out. But many continue on, and as they do so, they begin to see how a biblical worldview impacts every single aspect of life. Homeschooling may be opening the door to the development of new social systems and communities in the century to come.

Stuff of Which it is a Shame to Speak The world has changed since 1960. Molestations. Candies Foundation. Bristol Palin. Pause before you play. Condoms. Conservative feminists. What used to be a shame to speak of is shouted from the housetops and prominently displayed in the newspapers today. What should Christians do now, 40 years after the sexual revolution devastated the family? Provide absolution to the Beatles? Elect Sarah Palin as President? Or get behind the Candies Foundation in their campaign to denigrate babies and exalt fornication? When the foundations are destroyed, what will the righteous do? Kevin Swanson asks some pointed questions on this edition of Generations.
