The Generations Radio Program

On this edition of Generations Radio, Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow address the importance of being part of a church. The church is not a club. The church is a body of people accountable to each other. If pastors are to be held responsible for the people they shepherd, how can they do this without ever seeing the sheep? How can church goers submit to a pastor they don't even know? Where does church discipline fall into play? How important is membership?

The 250-year anniversary for the founding of the United States of America is coming up. In the meantime, America's freedom index is dropping as it becomes less free. The US is a unique country, in that it was established by persecuted Christians seeking refuge, and even though the freedom it offers is dropping, it still remains the most God-blessed nation in the world. It is the most generous and most powerful nation, and still has a strong Christian influence at work in the 21st century.

Telehealth abortions have now exceeded 25 percent of total abortions in the country—many of these are crossing over into pro-life states. We draw in some lessons from American history on this segment. Shall we let the states decide on abortion . . . and let the pro-abortion states send assassins into pro-life states and kill the babies? Or, should America have let the states decide the slavery question . . . and then allowed slave traders from pro-slavery states to kidnap slaves from anti-slavery states? It’s doubtful the administration has the will to do anything about it at this point.  Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250710.mp3

The Scriptures have quite a bit to say about eating and fitness. There are wrong ways to handle food and fitness in a wealthy age such as ours, with the tendency to be towards sinful excesses. There’s ditches everywhere: ditches of sensuality, ditches of gluttony, ditches of focusing so much on physical health that it becomes the essence of life. . . . So where is the balance? What is the purpose of eating? Of exercise? How do we do these things to the glory of God? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow dig into these questions on this edition of the program.

One of the biggest crying needs of the day is a faith continuity from one generation to the next. There’s nothing more important than seeing the hearts of fathers turning to the children, and the hearts of children turning to the fathers. This is prayer burden—asking for the Spirit to work through our families and churches, and to bring repentance. One way this happens is when men embrace their God-given responsibilities and callings on their lives as husbands and fathers, conscientiously and intentionally shepherding their wives and children. On this edition of the program, Kevin Swanson and Joel Beeke discuss Joel’s new book, How to Lead Your Family: A Guide to Men Wanting to Be More, on practical ways men can be prophets, priests, and kings within their homes.

The US Government is buying back its own bonds. Scott Bessent is following in the footsteps of John Maynard Keynes. Senator Josh Hawley is pushing for raising the minimum wage. But while the government redistributes the wealth (largely from the middle class to the lower class), wealth disparity is increasing because Federal Reserve policies will always favor the rich. The shell game is impossible for the average person to follow. But suffice it to say, some animals turn out to be more equal than others. But why not just trust God, and run the economy by biblical principles and honest money? Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250707.mp3

How do you get along well with managers who are hard to work with? How do you approach the difficult coworker—those who don’t get along well in the sandbox? What happens when we’re falsely accused? What are the Biblical principles that apply to the workplace (or any other relationship in our lives)? On this edition of Disciple for Dads, Kevin, Bill, and Todd dive into these issues and bring 1 Peter 2 and other passages to bear.

How did this happen? The most dominant cultural form turned out to be the most depraved ever produced in this country or anywhere else. Researchers have discovered that the hip-hop cultural form outpaced the Beatles in its pervasive and omnipresent influence upon American culture. Their study looked at differences in chords, rhythms, and tonal properties over 50 years of top chart hits. This brings up the more important question: how does one “redeem” cultural forms including the middle finger, hip-hop, the Nazi swastika, and the playboy bunny?
