Generations Radio, with Kevin Swanson, presents that proper understanding of reality by speaking to the issues people face in the modern day from the perspective of a biblical worldview.

Both negative and positive examples are important in Scripture: bad guys are a warning, and good guys are a model. Kevin discusses his top five best and worst US presidents…the seven criteria for judging whether they were good or bad…the pattern to why righteous or unrighteous presidents appear at certain times…why Abraham Lincoln doesn’t make either list…and which president was the worst in US history.

The panel discusses the classic concern: how could any child become socially and relationally mature without attending a state school? But what is socialization, defined biblically? And does state school actually teach it? The dads share practical methods for ensuring kids don’t become isolated and introverted…how they trained their kids to interact with adults and unbelievers…and five simple questions to make kids great conversationalists.

Kevin talks with Israel and Brook Wayne about the most common parenting challenges facing homeschoolers. They discuss, “I don’ t like my kids and they don’t like me!” — plus, how to take clashes between tweener sons and their moms and transform these into enduring mother/son relationships…tips for turning disobedience from littles into love and respect…and why the Waynes chose Generations for their Raising Them Up Podcast, rather than a more mainstream Christian platform.

Fear has gripped the modern world — and in recent years, it gripped the church as well. Scripture draws a sharp distinction between the fear of man and the fear of the Lord, and it does not treat cowardice lightly. What does true biblical courage look like in an age of intimidation and uncertainty? We explore how the gospel frees believers from the fear of death and calls them to lion-hearted faith Download the episode MP3 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/18661173-what-does-t...
The highest ethic for many Americans is niceness…so Hillary Clinton is upset about MAGA’s “war against empathy.” But should the magistrate empathize with those who break the law, or should he punish them? And why is it always certain people we have to empathize with — the mother, but not the aborted baby? The protesters, but not the ICE agents? Kevin and Bill discuss how empathy untethered from God’s law leads to hypocrisy and tyranny. Download the episode MP3 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com...
With rising tyranny leading to the worst persecution of Christianity in history, Kevin speaks to Jacob Tanner, author of Resist Tyranny, Obey God: Lessons from the Life and Times of John Knox. They discuss how nations, not just families or churches, are in covenant with God and must obey him…how in desperate times, ordinary ministry becomes extraordinary…what it means that “resistance to tyranny is obedience to God”…and how we are to do this.

God has made Dad the principal of the homeschool…not the teacher’s assistant. But are you engaged enough to bear this level of responsibility? If not, what should you be doing? The panel talks about vision-setting and curriculum decisions…delegation vs micro-management…dealing with problems when you’re at work…assessing progress…being truly available to your wife and kids…and maintaining an upward trajectory.

Strong Christianity produces prosperous and free nations — but weakening faith breeds tyranny. A century ago, that decline led to 100 million bodies…but is our faith stronger than it was in the 1920s? Kevin and Bill talk about the possibility of restoring biblical government and liberty in America…how fearful and proud people give “savior” dictators power…and whether American evangelicals could repeat the error of the German ones who elected Hitler.

With some Western countries now having more pets than children, how should Christians respond to dogs in strollers? Kevin and Josh talk about what animals are for…how much we should care for them (or not)…Nathan’s story of the ewe-lamb…the legitimacy of pets…killing animals for food…and the state’s role in conservation vs. the individual.

American trust in pastors has halved since 2009. Weekly church attendance is down 40%. What is going on — and what is the answer? Kevin and Danny talk about how pragmatic leadership strategies have compromised the pastorate…the difference being a Christian leader and a Christian influencer…forgiveness of scandal vs restoration to office…the need for leaders to actually be ahead of others…and ministry as a work of love, not a platform for impact.

Should we be using the FACE law to imprison church trespassers for 8 years? What about God’s law? Will we abandon His standard of justice when it’s politically convenient — or will we show the world a better way? Kevin and Bill examine the right-wing tendency to defend tyranny in law enforcement…the left-wing tendency to treat any law enforcement as tyranny…rational thinking based on statistics, not high-profile outliers…and right judgement of specifics based on sound general principles Downl...
When kids are young, we put ourselves between them and the world, the flesh, and the devil. But as they mature, they must learn to fight for themselves. So how can we teach our kids to face temptation — and how do we prepare them relationally to be open about such trials? The panel talks through the struggles they have observed — from lust to rebellion to self-image — plus practical strategies they have used.

Martin Luther King, Jr. famously demanded to be judged on the content of his character, not the color of his skin. But with 36+ affairs, Marxist views, and “the tape” being released next year, the only reason to keep celebrating MLK Day seems to be his skin color! Kevin and Bill suggest some worthy alternatives who were true national heroes — but also ask: should we dedicate a federal holiday to any particular person at all?

With the rise of Christian Nationalism, kinists are rising too. Kevin and Josh discuss Scripture’s categories for valid and sound marriages — and whether ethnic differences really constitute unique “incompatibilities.” What is the biblical teaching on kin loyalty? Can a nation be salvaged around ethnic unity when it has already lost unity in Christ? And is ethnic differentiation even compatible with the gospel?

There has been a lot of resistance in the homeschooling world to ICE hunting out illegal immigrants…and a lot of broad-brushing of ICE agents. But despite the high-profile outliers, what do the actual stats and facts say? And what does God himself say about the state’s right to protect its borders? Kevin and Bill discuss what we know, and apply biblical principles to why we should want Christians doing this work.

Homeschooling is exploding across the US, while public school enrollments fall. The state’s response? $1 billion toward systems like homeschooling vouchers. Kevin and Danny discuss the problems of “free money”…becoming dependent on government rather than God…how funding inevitably leads to regulation and control…the precautionary history of countries like Sweden and the UK…and the danger of Title IX applying to any education funded by government money.

The panel discusses the tricky process of children growing up while still living at home. How do you avoid being too controlling…and too permissive? What are the warning signs for a bad launch, or dysfunctional relationship in the future? How do you deal with personality conflicts? And how do you keep incorporating your kids into your household, when they are finding their own independence?

Kevin and Bill discuss our tottering economic system and analyze the market trends. Crypto is flatlining…Wall Street is turning into a casino…people are saving less…inflation is skyrocketing…and it’s all accelerating a national recession. People no longer trust the market and are escaping into gold and silver. Can Trump fix it? If not, when will everything collapse — and what can individual Christians do to protect themselves?

Depression rates have 5×ed since the 90s, and today it’s considered normal to have a therapist. 9% of Americans are on psychotropic drugs, and 10% of teens attempt suicide every year. Kevin and Josh examine the modern therapeutic approach to mental health…whether we can finally say it has failed…and most importantly, what the Bible says about dealing with depression and anxiety, trauma and stress, shame and guilt.

A new transgender case is going before the Supreme Court this week, about sexually confused boys playing on girls’ sports teams. Kevin and Bill discuss why the Supreme Court is even involved…whether we can opt out of the system…the similarity with 1920s Germany…and current Christian initiatives underway right now that you can contribute to — to amend the constitution and work toward restoring a biblically-ordered society.

What type of pathetic, dumb, brain-dead animal could belief in a myth? This podcast has to be hosted by the lowest rat in n creation. Thank God Christianity has died and continue to die. This paganist lie will soon be wiped off creation :)
This is absolutely stupid. Fred Rogers was a Presbyterian minister who didn't need to spend time preaching about Jesus because, instead of talking at people about how Jesus wanted us to live, he was LIVING it. He was walking the walk.
