The Generations Radio Program

Turns out the roots of The Wizard of Oz are firmly rooted in 19th century feminism with all its seances and penchant for witchcraft. We didn’t like the distinction between the good witch and the wicked witch. But now, this wicked witch is a little more personable and really good at heart. Here is why Christians are still against Wicked and witchcraft. Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

American fertility has dropped 21 percent in 14 years, and another 4 percent since 2021 (post-Dobbs). That’s 72,000 more babies lost every year to either abortion, abortifacients, or some other means. Expect another 80 colleges to close in the next few years. Already, 1,660 colleges have closed, and more are to come. That’s bad news for the blue left, but good news for the red right in this country, assuming the university is the cause of birth implosions and the bad worldviews that undermine the nation and human society in general.

US President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on several firearms charges, but what does the Bible say about gun registrations and partiality in government policy? Will the president release everybody else convicted of crimes for violating unconstitutional and tyrannical gun laws? While the liberal governments violate the liberties of millions, they allow murderers to run free on the streets. What is the role of government as dictated by the Lord of lords?

Anti-Christian, post-Christian America and the UK are turning towards polytheism and Hinduism as the operating religion, with Hindus and Muslims filling the void where the Christian faith has been abandoned. Hindus are also increasingly taking over Western governments, currently making up 0.7 percent of the U.S. population but roughly 10 percent of Trump’s appointees. Hinduism is polytheistic and hopeless. It has a confused ethic and views reality as an illusion. There is no value for the individual. So where will our nations go as Hindus increasingly take over Western governments? How do we restore the stability of the nation? It must start with true discipleship, revival, and repentance.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Here is a statement signed by hundreds of pastors and church people in opposition to antisemitism. But what is scapegoating, discrimination, hatred, self-loathing, antisemitism, and racism? Let’s define our terms carefully here, and not allow the world to govern our conceptions by their own definitions and terms. Can we blame all the troubles of the failure of Christian faith and the loss of liberties, etc. upon a particular ethnic group?

Major scientific breakthroughs do not happen every day. They require a combination of inspiration, perspiration, and, of course, the mercy of God. This particular medical invention has contributed to saving millions of lives. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the first Human Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machine in 1977. Dr. Damadian gives God the glory for this amazing technological breakthrough. Was this the reason he was refused the Nobel Prize in 1984?

If you think America has lost faith, family, and freedom, or any semblance of a biblical worldview over the last fifty years, you ought to check out other nations like England, Scotland, or Australia! Yet, there seems to be a tiny remnant hanging on to relationships and truth in a lost and lonely world. We found a family in Australia who has more than 1.4 children, is reintegrating family relationships, and understands the Christian mandate to apply God's Word to all areas of thought and life.

American federal debt is growing faster than the GDP now. This year, the debt-to-GDP ratio stands at 121 percent. . . about fifth worst in the world. Interest payments on the federal debt have topped 36 percent of total tax receipts. And all of this has its roots in the Keynesian philosophies of the early 1920’s and 30’s. The present-orientedness, existentialism, and the ideology of Jean-Paul Sartre and John Maynard Keynes are what ran the 20th century and helped produce what we have today. So how much character would it require to reverse the worldview that has soaked our respective nations over the last 50-60 years? How much long-term vision would it take to turn the nation around? Probably a little more than what Elon Musk and Scott Bessett can offer. We review President Trump’s pick for Secretary of the Treasury and revisit the history of modern economics on this edition of the program.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.
