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?Download the episode MP3 here:  https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250808.mp3Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

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?Download the episode MP3 here:  https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250806.mp3Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

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.

Will we save a nation by closing borders? What in the world could possibly salvage a post-Christian Europe—where church attendance scrapes 2 percent? 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.Download the episode MP3 here:  https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250804.mp3Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

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?

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?

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?
