The Generations Radio Program

A huge percentage of Christian children are leaving the church.  There is no greater joy than to see one's children walking in the truth.  However, a big part of flourishing spiritually has to do with cultivating a love for the body of Christ.  How can fathers encourage their children in this way?  A dad's priorities often become his children's priorities.  Does the church play an important role in your life or is it just a club you go to on Sundays? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (ISIS soldiers behead Christians in Mozambique, CBS' Stephen Colbert doubles down on liberal jokes after cancellation, Trump cancels half billion dollars for UCLA over anti-Semitism) 2.

What are the best and worst states in America? What are the best and worst nations in the world, as measured by the most critical metrics? Florida tops the list on the religious liberty index. West Virginia is the worst. But on all indexes, Tennessee, Idaho, and Texas top the list. But what about the nations in the world? How did Mexico, India, North Korea, Greenland, and Russia turn up as some of the worst nations in the world?  The list of the best nations on the international morality index will surprise you. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.  This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (U.S. Health Dept cancels $500 million of mRNA vaccine projects, Gunman opened fire at a Seattle church event, Billy Graham Association helping defend European Christians) 2.

Kevin and Josh discuss the controversial topic of what a woman's role should be in the church.  The Bible encourages silence with submission in the formal church setting, but does this mean a woman has no role within the church?  If a woman is called to serve in some way, how can she do this within the church body? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (African Muslims killed 150,000 people in last decade, Trump prohibits veterans’ hospitals from killing babies, NASA planning to build nuclear reactor on moon) 2.

Kevin interviews Jonny Ardavanis, author of “Consider the Lilies: Finding Perfect Peace in the Character of God.”  They discuss what happens when Christians fail to fix their gaze on God, and deal with anxiety or depression.  How can Christians learn to replace their anxiety with trust in God? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Fewer Americans receiving COVID-19 boosters, Trump upset with India for doing business with Russia, Church of Wales selects lesbian “Archbishop”) 2.

Will we save a nation by closing borders? What in the world could possibly salvage a post-Christian Europe - where church attendance scrapes 2%? Half of London’s church attendees are immigrants. So how will closing the borders save the nation? Shall we surrender the culture to atheists or Muslims?  Tough call. While the Scripture is strong on providing opportunities for “strangers” to engage in trade and be treated favorably under the law, the civil magistrate has a responsibility to defend the nation from criminals entering the borders. But the ultimate solutions are not so much found at the borders as much as in cleaning up our own backyard. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (HR15 enables perversion & abortion for public school minors, Cuban pastor harassed, Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down) 2.

What does it mean for us as husbands and fathers to sacrificially serve and love our wives and children? What perspectives can we adopt to help us do this well? What disconnects us from the needs of our wives and families? Is there a contradiction between a servant and leader mentality? Kevin, Todd, Bill, and Danny discuss these and other related questions on this edition of Discipleship for Dads. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Transgender Lady Liberty stirs debate at Smithsonian, U.S. divorce and out-of-wedlock births less common, Christians evicted from their homes in Chhattisgarh, India) 2.

The civil government is given a responsibility by God, but hasn’t followed through on it well since the 1920s. Genesis 9:6 and Romans 13:4 are clear.  The trend was set in the wrong direction in 1846, largely due to the influence of one, John O’Sullivan.  His worldview was dead wrong. We touch on the gradation of priorities set before the civil magistrate by God, according to the standards of biblical law. Which national governments are doing better than others? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Iran has arrested 54 Christians since ceasefire, Russia rocked by 8.8-magnitude earthquake, 250 years of U.S. Army Chaplains) 2.

What is a woman to do when she finds herself with an unbelieving husband or a husband that simply just isn't engaged in the spiritual life of the home?  This is a situation that requires a great deal of wisdom from the wife.  There is something to be learned from Abigail in the Bible, but what else does the Bible say about a woman who may find herself in this kind of circumstance? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Planned Parenthood closes 33 abortion mills, Ugandan Muslims kill relative convert to Christianity, Florida has greatest religious liberty; West Virginia the worst) 2.

A book on vampirism and witchcraft. Another on the pointlessness of life for a twelve year old. Another on suicide and tolerance. How does a parent transform the library, and discern the best books for their kids? Korrie Johnson joins us to explain how she does it in her home town in Minnesota. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Hulk Hogan rededicated faith in Christ at baptism, 522,000 Sudanese babies died of malnutrition, Ugandan Muslim terrorists massacre 40 Catholics with machetes) 2.

Here again is one more nail in the coffin of a dead and dying, weak and wobbly faith. The recent promotion of homosexuality from Chip and Joanna Gaines illustrates once more where the modern evangelical perception of the Gospel, faith, and grace has lost all integrity, robustness, and biblical meaning. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Trans-identified male athletes have stolen 1,941 gold medals, Trump's massive trade deal with European Union, Planned Parenthood closes 5 CA abortion mills) 2.
