Moral Equivalence With the continuing decline of Christianity in the west, Michigan seems to prefer Muslims to Christians now. Christian evangelists were arrested in their attempts to evangelize Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan. The proto-evangelical, Ted Haggard is in the news again as he meets with the press on the start up of a new church in Colorado Springs. In a You-Tube clip, Ted likens homosexual marriage to falling short of God’s best for us, sort of like taking an Aspirin or putting on a few extra pounds. I mean, nobody’s perfect!

A Brave New World If 41% of children are born without fathers, how many could be conceived without fathers? That’s the questions on the minds of the social planners who are working hard to create the Platonic world, where “no son shall know his father, and no father shall know his son.” Here Kevin Swanson discusses the horror of parthenogenesis, babies stored in cryogenic labs, artificial wombs, and other dreary developments of the modern age. When man abandons relationships in his cold, institutional systems, eventually he will destroy himself and his civilization.

Interview: Jennie Chancey The ABC comedy-drama "Desperate Housewives" is in its 6th season, and presents the typical, dysfunctional forni-fest that marks American life today. People have a hard time imaging that functional, happy families can even exist today. But they do! Against the world's ideals for womanhood which include the discontented, whining, manipulating whores or the emotionally-androgynous power woman, Author Jennie Chancey suggests a biblical alternative. Jennie cuts and slices. She insists that a woman does not have fill the role of some mindless slave working for a corporation, or even the mindless "Stepford Wife" caricature. But as she fulfills God's designed roles for her (vs. those designed for her by the statist social planners), she maximizes her impact on this generation, and many more generations hence!

How We Make Choices In 1991, the thinnest state in America was Colorado. Today, the thinnest state in America is still Colorado, only it is fatter than the fattest state in America was in 1991! America is getting fat . . . during a recession. All of this leads to a discussion on nature and nurture, and how people make their choices in life. Is man's will free, or is it bound by the pressures of environmental causes, or even Adam's sinful nature? Some thoughtful issues surface in this important program.

Monitoring the Fall of Civilization Since 2007, the private sector has lost about 10 million jobs, while the public sector gained 1 million. That means the growth of socialism, of course. But socialism also means the death of manhood. About 75% of the jobs lost were manned by men. So the men come home, and women serve as breadwinner or co-breadwinner in 2/3 of the households in America. It’s getting interesting now! It’s a whole new world out there. In the macro, men are failing and failing fast. But there will be a few islands left where a vision for manhood is still extant. Listen for a powerful strategy whereby our families will be prepared to face the year 2050 A.D.

Family Businesses that Work! In a changing economy, it’s time to start thinking about family-based economic systems. Wade Myers from New Venture Lab has spent the last year crisscrossing the country with a video crew in search of families who have put together businesses that work. Take a front seat on this tour, and learn about how families have integrated business and family life. As we restructure a new socio-economic paradigm, it is critical that families learn effective business models, network into the marketplace, secure more market share by contract (and other means), all of which would allow for more mentorship and family integration in the business world.

Is this Really the "End of Men?" Atlantic Magazine declares "The End of Men," as society works its way over the precipice in many western countries. Men aren't working. Men aren't getting educated. As a rule, men are giving up. But is it really the end of civilization? Kevin Swanson interviews Randy Stinson, president of the Council on BIblical Manhood and Womanhood concerning the long standing effects of one hundred years of egalitarian thinking. Should Christians begin to seriously appy the ethical implications of God's social system, what could happen to our future families and churches? This powerful, visionary interview is one you don't want to miss!

72% of Americans Think So Before Sanger, Darwin, and Galton, there was Malthus, and the influence of Malthus upon the succeeding radicals that changed our world is undeniable. Now, the pervasive opinion among most Europeans and Americans is that the world is over-populated. This despite the fact that the population is only 6 times what it was 200 years ago, and 60X more productive! Kevin Swanson makes the connections from Malthus to the eugenics of Galton and Margaret Sanger of Planned Parenthood fame, in this segment of Generations.

Patriotism vs. Mindless Nationalism Increasing numbers of Christians are thinking a little more critically about the Pledge of Allegiance, that has been used in public schools for several generations now. Israel Wayne joins us to discuss the history of the Pledge as well as the specific language used in the Pledge.

Is College Worth It? Believe it or not, college admission costs are on a steep rise despite the most severe recession (and deflationary numbers) since the 1940s! Add to that, the rising unemployment number for college graduates, and lower starting salaries. Then, 49% of those with college degrees are working jobs not requiring a college degree. Guys like John Stossel call college the most over-priced and under-valued product on the market today. Rational people are asking if there is a better way to get through college and into the calling God has for them. Woody Robertson from College Plus adds a vitally important piece to this puzzle, as families try to work through these issues during challenging economic times. College Plus has saved 1,000 students about $27,000,000 over the last few years with a unique approach geared to save families valuable time and money. If there was ever a time for families to "think out of the box" when it comes to higher education, IT IS NOW!
