If money is a tool, what's the project? And how can we use it to honor God? This episode defines a family vision, then shows how budgets, savings, and investments align with gifts, faith, and love. Train children early, avoid consumerism, and build multiple streams that serve people and the kingdom.
A clash of values has made Gen Z "hard to hire," but the deeper crisis is meaning. Materialism bred burnout; escapism bred emptiness. What works? Biblical purpose, relational mentorship, and workplaces led by love—not mere incentives. We show how families, churches, and managers can form character, steward gifts, and turn drifting teens into dependable adults who build rather than bail.
Should Christians recite the Pledge—and what exactly are we pledging? Kevin and Josh trace the pledge's history, weigh "honor the emperor" (1 Pet. 2:17) alongside "we must obey God rather than men," and unpack whether "under God," "indivisible," and "liberty and justice for all" are descriptions or aspirations. The takeaway: apply Romans 14 liberty to Romans 13 duty—fear God first, then honor where honor is due.
What is worship—and why do the Psalms belong at the center of it? Kevin Swanson talks with Pastor Jonathan Landry Cruz about the Bible's own songbook, how to "serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling," and why corporate worship breathes life into private and family worship. Steps for families and pastors include pre-reading texts, learning the week's hymns at home, and giving children confessional anchors they can say by heart. We look at lament, joy, and spiritual formation through Psalm-singing, and point you to practical resources for your church and household.
Abortion "reform" sounds civilized—until you run the thought experiment. If a mother hires an assassin to kill her 9-month-old outside the womb, would we certify the killer, add counseling, or simply cut a check? In this episode we expose the logic of incrementalism, call pastors to preach the whole counsel of God, and press for real justice under Romans 13. Defund the blood money. Prosecute the crime. Repentance, not half-measures, is how nations heal.
Is peace with in-laws even possible? Yes—when the gospel leads. The dads discuss transferring headship, giving counsel without grabbing the wheel, planning connection on purpose, and responding to dysfunction with service, humility, and help from church elders. Hopeful, honest, and loaded with field-tested practices for families with married children.
UNESCO's report was written from a desk—then aims to rule your desk at home. Without visiting real homeschools, the UN prescribes searches and standards that shift authority from parents to bureaucrats. We highlight legal wins that block home inspections and outline a strategy for nations to recognize the right to homeschool without surrendering it to UN ideology.
Is Halloween redeemable—or are we simply cutting the ears off the Playboy bunny and calling the logo "clean"? This conversation unpacks why symbols aren't neutral, how 1 Corinthians 10 guides conscience, and how families can replace "no" with a richer "yes." The invitation: celebrate saints, not séances—life, not death.
Why do we keep losing? Because we surrender the principle, dilute the language, and comfort our consciences with body bags and disposal kits. Abolition says: apply the same laws that protect born people to the unborn—no partiality. Bradley Pierce joins us to walk through the theology, the numbers, and the needed courage to love both mother and child with justice and truth.
When Vivek Ramaswamy's Hindu faith meets America's post-Christian confusion, the collision reveals just how far we've drifted from truth. Hinduism denies moral absolutes, and modern America does too—just in different language. From karma to "follow your heart," the worldview is the same: man is god. Until we recover a biblical foundation, our politics will keep reflecting our idolatry.
The two best-selling "Christian" books of the last decade were "The Shack" and "Jesus Calling." Is this a reformation of Christian literature? "The Shack" has sold 25 million copies, and "Jesus Calling" has sold 15 million, and "The Shack" will be produced as a major motion picture, coming out in a few weeks. Here's the big question we address here. . . . How do you speak with "Christian" friends who like "The Shack" and other similarly bad books?
There are political deceptions — and then there are spiritual deceptions. When Christians start chasing the shadows instead of standing in the light, Satan has already won. From JFK to COVID, from the deep state to the dark web, conspiracy thinking is swallowing up discernment. This is not harmless curiosity — it's the Devil's diversion.
Taylor Swift is the biggest pop phenomenon since Michael Jackson, 117 Guinness World Records, the successor of the Beatles . . . and on and on the accolades go. She is pro-abortion, pro-gay, but most importantly, "pro-me." She represents the current "I feel" zeitgeist better than anything. The me-centered, feelings-dominated modern male and female appreciate the worship services led by Taylor Swift—89,000 at a time. She also leads the world from decadence to despair, unlike any other popular cultural icon of the last half century. Christians teach just the opposite . . . hope, self-denial, and God-centeredness.
What happens when the world of science no longer fears God? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus expose the chilling consequences of man's attempt to play Creator—from Oregon scientists fabricating human eggs from skin cells to the moral collapse surrounding the Covid vaccine era. In a world rushing toward genetic manipulation, artificial conception, and blind trust in "the experts," Christians must recover a theology of science grounded in the fear of the Lord.
Should a Christian love justice? Or only love? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus confront one of the most misunderstood commands in modern Christianity. As America's battle over abortion intensifies, they expose how a false view of "love" has softened the Church's witness—and why biblical justice must never be separated from mercy.
Is anonymity quietly discipling you? The dads contrast surface-level groups with the biblical fellowship that knows names, bears burdens, and insists on hope plus discipline. They lay out a path for men: confess honestly, believe the promises, re-commit to the Word and gathered worship, invite accountability, and keep coming back week after week. This is gospel courage with guardrails—truth, love, and long-haul patience.
It's post-modern. It's hip. It's new. It's "contemporary." It's a revolution! Over the last 30 years, we have seen a total revolution of the music in the Church, representing a radical cultural change more significant than anything seen in at least 500 years! Is this a good thing or bad thing? Now, there is an important question – a one billion dollar question. Does this radical change in culture and music indicate a wonderful reformation and revival in the church, among our teens, or is it just more of the breakdown of the institution of the family, generational continuity, and culture. Is it a breakdown of the faith? Dr. T. David Gordon, professor of Religion and Greek at Grove City College addresses these questions with a thoughtful new book, "Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns," and he interacts with host Kevin Swanson on this edition of Generations.
What does the Bible say about alcohol? How about smoking? It can be easy for Christians to fall into one of two ditches: legalism or anti-nomianism. However, while fundamentalist Christians are worried about things like drinking, smoking, or dancing, they tend to ignore the problem of gluttony. On the other side, while wanting to enjoy alcohol, entertainment, etc, do these things start to take the place of true joy and fulfillment, which can only be obtained through God?
Four fault lines run through the U.N. story: centralized power, moral inversion, cultural engineering, and chronic failure on justice. This conversation contrasts a pro-liberty stand with decades of globalist overreach—from UNFPA and UNICEF agendas to the ICC and Arms Trade Treaty. Will Christians push back before one-world rule hardens?
Kevin and Bill discuss a recent racially-motivated murder and the uproar that it caused in the media. Are all murders, whether they be the murder of little babies in the womb or sensationalized crimes, treated the same way by the major media? What is the impact of racially-motivated murders? Should Christians make a big deal about the color of someone's skin, or should we acknowledge that all men and women, regardless of skin color, are sinners and all need to be saved and washed by the blood of Jesus Christ?
