Independence Day! Christians and pagans alike seem to want their children to be "independent," at least if you read all the How-to-Raise-Kids websites out there. Kevin Swanson doesn't really understand what this word "independent" means. As in, independent of what? With the largest socialist voting block in America now as single, independent women, who of course are dependent on the social structure of the state, Kevin Swanson isn't really cottoning to that worldview. Do we want our children independent of the covenant structures of church and family? Do we want them independent of the state schools and state social security programs? Do we want them independent of God and His Spirit? With this eye-opening program, you will see radical differences between the way that the secular socialists raise their sons and daughters and the way people who would follow the Bible would do it.

Children: 25; Adopted: 22 After much searching, we finally found what we believe to be the happiest family in America. They're not wealthy. They have learned to love the unlovable, and adopt the unwanted, and they've done it a bunch of times! On this radio broadcast, Kevin Swanson interviews the amazing Ritter family, who have adopted 22 beautiful children. Tom and Debra went ahead and adopted children who came with all the labels and some true-blue disorders, such as ADHD, ADD, Bi-Polar, Mentally Retarded, Learning Diasbled, Attachment Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anger Disorder, Congenital Heart Disease, Severe Scoliosis, Sturge-Weber Syndrome, Ovarian Cancer, Epilepsy, Deafness, and Diabetes. You will find tremendous encouragement in this heart-warming interview, along with some sage-like wisdom for raising some challenging children to be men and women who fear God and walk in His ways.

When Good Prevail While faith, family, and freedoms fell apart in the last half century, important progress was made in only a few areas. But these are significant, because these are the gardens that remain in the ashes of our burned our humanist empires. Kevin Swanson renders tribute to Chris Klicka and his work with Home School Legal Defense Association on this edition of Generations. Now under hospice care in Colorado Springs, Chris fought for home school freedoms not just in America, but all over the year through the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis for much of that time, he proved once again that God's modus operandi is not the same as man’s. His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

A Perfect Storm is Brewing Slowly but surely, government is grabbing control of the medical industry in this country. Couple that with 80 million baby boomers retiring soon, who killed 50 million of their own babies, along with the most pro-infanticide president ever to run for the top office in this country, and what do you get? Can you spell Government-sponsored Euthanasia? David Kupelian from World Net Daily joins us to discuss Obamacare and what happens when government funds and regulates all medical care in this country. How much rationing might a government do for an elderly person who has nobody to care for them but government-funded bureaucrats who would rather not spend 30X the money on a old person about to kick the bucket over a young, productive worker in his 30s and 40s? The temptations to euthanasia will be overwhelming, and of course irresistible.

Rendering Proper Prostrations The state of Maine fines a Christian group for criticizing Islam, something that is happening in nations like Canada and Australia. As Islam continues to expand into humanist countries, and as Christianity dies out in Europe and America, look for more persecution of Christians. Kevin Swanson points out that the official religion of this country is polytheistic and statist. If you don’t render your proper prostrations to the gods in the pantheon, and agree with the official statist indoctrination programs, you may very well be fined $4000 by the state of Maine. Meanwhile President Obama uses the Bible to justify special rights for homosexuals, abortion, and other projects. It's hard to escape the truth of the Word of God, but ever since the garden of Eden the bad guys have liked to twist the truth for their own agenda.

A Global Hoax For billions of people, the "truth" about global warming was established by the Dr. Michael Mann's Tree Ring data, that became the centerpiece of Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, the incontrovertible evidence for 20th century warming. Last week, a mathematician in Canada finally obtained the data (after seeking it for 11 years) from which Mann developed his theory. The data came from Russia. On replicating the work, mathematician Steve McIntyre discovers that somebody had cherry picked 10 tree data sets out of a much larger set of trees sampled by the Russians. When pulling all of the data together, Steve finds the 20th century global temperatures didn't increase. He discovered just the opposite effect. In this segment, Kevin Swanson examines the worldviews behind the data crunching. Why does man seek salvation from problems that do not exist? Why does he always gravitate towards government to save him? Why the diversions from the real problems that face mankind?

The First Mistake Atheists Make Smart guys are abandoning the Bible because they can see that the Bible just doesn't comport well with science. The atheists of today were good little Christian kids who paid attention in their public school classrooms. But what does one do when the Bible doesn't comport with science? The answers to this conundrum have been assorted, but mainly we have had to conclude that the Bible is just plain wrong in the area of origins, miracles, and stuff like that. But Kevin Swanson suggests that maybe we were wrong when we concluded that the beginning of wisdom and knowledge is the Fear and Awe of Smart Scientists. That might have been a bad call. Kevin provides a list of questions that cosmologists and astronomers should answer before they get all dogmatic about the big bang and the origins of the universe.

H1N1 Inoculations Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar. If you attend Caesar's schools or work in Caesar's businesses, must you submit to Caesar's mandatory requirements for inoculations from the flu virus? Now even virile young school students are dying of the swine flu virus that could reach pandemic levels. It's time to ask the questions - should we inoculate, or submit to government-mandated inoculations? What about all of the assorted complications associated with these shots? And how does home schooling and decentralization play into this?

Homeschooling in a Socialist State The three nations in which homeschooling is most prevalent today are America, Canada, and Mexico, with large conferences attracting thousands in each of these countries. Coming at a time when family fragmentation, birth implosions, and humanist, godless education systems are the name of the game, Christian home education represent positive trends towards renewing relationships and truth in a lost and lonely world. Kevin Swanson interviews Mike Richardson, President of El Hogar Educador organization in Mexico, for interesting insights into a growing movement towards family freedoms and Christian education south of the border.

Antinomianism, Pacifism, and God's Law Wednesday is National Blasphemy Day, and Americans are choosing to blaspheme against the God who made heaven and earth. Kevin Swanson points out that blasphemy laws are always in effect. If you commit blasphemy or treason against the United States of America by taking on the statist social order, you might could easily wind up in jail. Not many Americans would want to offend the state in that way, but they think nothing of blaspheming the name of God, and His Son, our Lord Christ. If we see all of the world as the kingdom of Christ, then we are bound to bring biblical law to bear in all areas of life including education, marriage, business, the military, and politics. In one of our most eye-opening programs, Kevin contrasts pacifism and an antinomian involvement in the world, with a biblical view of life.
