Generations Radio

Shepherding a Home or a Church If you read the Bible, you find that God seems more concerned about shepherds than he does about the politicians. In other words, He's more concerned with Ted Haggard than he is with a Barach Obama. But what's a good shepherd? Is it the corporate VP in the pin-striped business suit, the fellow in the pointy hat, the motivational speaker in the untucked polo, or the guy slopping around the barnyard in muddy boots? You will enjoy this practical interview on fathering, shepherding, or pastoring, with a pastor's pastor - Greg Thurston.

Eleven Years in the Movement Having resigned as Executive Director of Christian Home Educators of Colorado after 11 years of service, Kevin Swanson reminisces on his experiences and how the vision sharpened over the years. In a world where fatherhood disappeared over 5 generations, where the culture disintegrated, where parent-child relationships were minimized and 64% of kids under 6 are latchkey, and where the reality of God faded, we began to envision a new world where fatherhood, family integration, and a biblical worldview was recaptured in the paideia of children.

Pastor's Kids As a pastor himself, Kevin Swanson speaks to the challenge of raising authentic children who don't have to fake it because their dad is a pastor. Hypocrisy is only magnified when it manifests itself in the life of the guy doing the preaching. This Generations message is especially important for elders, deacons, and ministry leaders who are raising children during the greatest generational apostasy (numbers wise) in the history of Christianity.

Worldviews in Conflict A principal and an athletic director in Northern Florida face criminal charges and up to 6 months in prison over a prayer uttered on school property (during off-school hours), as the secular state does everything it can to obliterate every tiny remnant of the fear of God from any part of the paideia of children in public schools. Kevin Swanson contrasts the rising Muslim worldview to the secularist worldview and the Christian worldview on this segment of Generations, pointing out that humanists kill babies and imprison people who fear God and Muslims kill daughters who don't submit to their fathers in honor-killings. Meanwhile, Christians kill murderers but refuse to submit to a worldview that idolizes the state as a means of salvation.

Somebody Get Me Another Cigar A church in Michigan wins $70,000 in the state lottery and appropriates the monies to the building fund. This initiates a conversation on a Christian view of gambling, playing the stock market, taking dominion, idolatry, and fun.

His day has come "For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be; yes, you shall diligently look for his place, and it shall not be. The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming." A sober edition of the Generations broadcast reviews the life of the man who led the march of a nation into the killing of 50 million babies, and into a national socialist experiment that ended in bankruptcy, and into a widespread endorsement of homosexuality, and the breaking of just about every one of the ten commandments.

Interview: Sheriff Richard Mack Tyranny is local, but so is the defense of our constitutional rights. As America turns into a litigious, regulated, tyrannized society, the county sheriff stands as the first and last line of defense for innocent citizens, the self-governed, freedom-loving families that just want to homeschool their children in peace, and defend their families from intruders with firearms if necessary. As a sheriff of a rural Arizona county, Sheriff Richard Mack fought the Brady Bill gun-control law all the way to the Supreme Court and won. In this interview with Kevin Swanson, Sheriff Mack explains how the county sheriff has a duty to defend the citizenry from the tyrannical usurpation of their constitutional rights.

Interview: Tim Bloedow You talk about audacity! The "science" of environmentalism is breathtakingly audacious, and it's not really science either. Imagine this. The same people who believe in a bygone tropical planet of the dinosaurs, succeeded by an Ice Age full of woolly mammoths, continents clumping together and splitting apart, asteroid impacts, etc. propose to use government to impose an environmental status quo on all the earth. They claim the power to be able to hold back vast planetary changes. Wow! We're impressed! This is Tim Bloedow's take on it in his new book, "Environmentalism and the Death of Science." In this interview we contrast real science (based in a biblical worldview) with the pseudo-science coming out of the academy today.

...and Reformation What's Good and Bad in the Church While the ELCA meets to approve the qualification of homosexuals for ministry, a tornado rips up their tents and knocks the cross of the Lutheran church where they met in Minneapolis. Interesting. In a brief overview of the state of the church in America, Kevin Swanson reviews the ELCA decision, the New Calvinism, the "cussing" pastor, and how to eschew apostasy while embracing unity.

There is a reason why the American family is the weakest in the western world, and why the nuclear family now makes up only a minority of households.Our institutions have been carefully designed to weaken, to fragment, and to dis-integrate the family. You are programmed to fail. Where a semblance of family life still exists, it is only a shell and will soon crumble away.So how does one strengthen the family, but by redesigning the institutions that make up the world?In this land-breaking program, Kevin Swanson outlines seven ways he has set out to re-build the foundations of the family as an institution by reconfiguring the economics of the family. This may be only a start on rebuilding the institution of the family in the 21st century, but if you are not engaging these discussions, you can count on failure.
