While the 2011 S.A.T. reading scores dip to the lowest in recorded history, the good news is that homeschooling academic scores are looking better than ever (compared to previous results). The only problem with modern education is method and content. Both should be dictated and directed by God's Book on Education - the book of Proverbs. Here Kevin Swanson introduces his 3-volume series for families on the book of Proverbs. This is the core curriculum.

About 45% of American women have committed the crime of murder. About 10% are ingesting a "Morning After" pill, and 35% will avail themselves to the clinical abortion. But will people admit to have committed the crime of murder? Ray Comfort's new movie "180" is about to be released. You will witness shocking interviews with people who faced with endorsing abortion, Nazism, and other atrocities, reversing their positions within just a few minutes. Right away, Ray hopes to distribute 200,000 copies immediately in 100 of the largest universities in America. The powerful movie speaks to the very heart of the American (and western) cultures. It may be the best movie ever produced that speaks so directly to the American conscience, and connects abortion to the gospel of Christ!

Several youth leaders from Colorado Springs, Colorado are on trial for sex offenses. Meanwhile, the Divided Movie that questions the whole system of youth groups and youth pastors has gone viral on the internet. Articles in USA Today and Washington Post are addressing age segregation and family-integrated churches. So Kevin Swanson takes the opportunity to address the youth group question. What are the real problems with youth groups and age-segregated ministry? And why would a conference on Deut. 6:7 in Dallas exclude a ministry that advocates parent-driven discipleship of children in the home? Scott Brown from the NCFIC also joins us on this segment of the program.

Just about everybody wants to build character into their children. But what does that "character" look like for CHRISTIANS, and how do we get it? David Watkins is a homeschool pioneer, a national leader, and a father of eight children. In this interview, we delve to the heart of Christian home education. What does a relationship with Christ have to do with character, or science or history, for that matter? For those who are raising children with a heart towards honing character and forming a relationship with Jesus Christ, this will be a very helpful discussion!

Bruce Eagleson is the Chairman of the National Alliance of Christian Home Education Leadership. Kevin Swanson interviews Bruce at the NACHEL leadership conference at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. What is this Christian Homeschooling "Movement?" Is it growing? How does Christian Home Education differ from non-Christian Home Education? Unquestionably, the homeschooling movement is one of the most positive developments in the last 30 years. It is growing, and the second generation is soon to kick in. Will homeschooling yield hope for our future families, churches, and communities?

National Bankruptcies. The worldwide collapse of the Keynsian economy. Social disintegration. Birth implosions. What's the future look like for our children? My son will celebrate his 38th birthday in the year 2029.' Visionary men must understand the times and prepare for what lies ahead. They frame the antithesis, study trends, and prepare their sons with biblical character, biblical principles, and a biblical agenda sufficient to address the challenges that lie ahead. Profound changes have already come about since the 1960s. The character of the nation has fallen. The culture has moved from Nat King Cole's Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer to Eminem's Rape Rap. The debt-ridden economy continues to careen into oblivion. The Aborted 70's and 80's Generation is looking forward to euthanizing the baby boomers who aborted them. So how do I prepare my son for the year 2029? . . . an important question for parents who care.

In order for there to be generations there first must be marriage. As the first human institution instituted by God, marriage is an essential building block of any society and quite necessary to ensure the future of society. Yet in America marriage has been under attack by the culture; even the civil magistrate has contributed to the destruction of this foundational institution through programs that contribute to the breakdown of marriage. With half of marriages in the church ending in broken covenant and divorce, it is time that Christians begin to go back to the Bible. In this edition of Generations Dave Buehner speaks to Jim Hughes about his book, C through Marriage- Revitalizing Your Vows, about many of the areas that Christian couples need to work through, by God’s grace, in order to have a blessed union.

The 20th and 21st century represent the era of social planning. Billions of people do what the experts want them to do. Never before have governments and the educated elite had so much control over the rank and file. When you can get 95% of education controlled by a liberal elite and 88% of media set to a certain amoral social agenda, the future is predestined (as well as men can predestine it). For example, Justice Ginsburg thought Roe V. Wade would limit “populations that we don't want too many of. . . “ Meanwhile John Holdren, the new Science Czar, writes approvingly of forced abortion and mass sterilization through contaminating the water supplies, and other fun social planning projects. Kevin Swanson explains the history of social planning in the development of our own modern Matrix. Then he points out that there are only two rebels that attempt to break out - anarchists and fathers.

Every high school student needs to have a basic grasp of business administration, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Richard Emmons from homeschoolerbiz.com covers the basics on this important interview. Too many high school programs are boring and irrelevant to true dominion in the marketplace. Every homeschooling and conventional family needs to hear this stuff!

Readers are leaders, and the pen is mightier than the sword. Literature and writing is but another field in which Christians ought to be involved. How might we train our budding writers for a writing career? Here Kevin Swanson interviews Frode Jensen, creator of the popular Jensen's Grammar curriculum on what it takes to produce good writing and books worth publishing.
