The Generations Radio Program

Nothing is more important than raising sons to be shepherd-leaders in the family and church. We want our sons to be Christians and churchmen who love the body of Christ. But what about those sons who appear to be on a leadership track? Would you send them to a liberal arts college and then off to a cemetery, or even a seminary? How would Jesus prepare a young son for leadership?

Should America or Christians in general be actively seeking to defend the nation of Israel? What is to be said for the Seed of Abraham inheriting the world? The rising tide of antisemitism and wars in the Middle East bring the question of the nation of Israel to the forefront in the minds of many Christians. We ask the question, “What does the Bible say about that?” But our real task here is to train us all how to handle the trunk and the leaves, the quarrelsome and the questionable, the divisive and the controversial, the camels and gnats in theology. While we may not answer all the questions that various Christian sects would prefer us answer, we stick to core issues here as a matter of principle.

Does moral integrity matter when it comes to a conservative politician with excellent policy positions? And how does a Christian interact with the Epstein scandal, the fallout, and the related conspiracy theories? Applying biblical categories reduces the confusion and consternation on this. Bottom line here—we all sin. But, how will principled conservatives handle this in their own lives, and as demonstrated in the lives of others?  Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250722.mp3Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

We reminisce on the life and times of John MacArthur—which makes up about 1/20th of the history of the Christian church. These were days of scandal, of growth, of apostasy, of lions in the pulpit and Christian media. Pastor John was the last of the lions He wasn’t afraid of controversy—a stalwart, always steadfast in his attempt to remain biblical on every issue. Even his enemies had to admit he was the most influential voice in evangelical and reformed Christianity at the turn of the 21st Century.

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.
