The Generations Radio Program

An evangelical theologian informs us that: "All of us are responding to the progress of science and knowledge about planet Earth and having to adjust our interpretation of Scripture accordingly." When it comes a scientific hypothesis like fossil dating and the filtering of data through a heavily worldview-biased grid, shall the Christian have to surrender the biblical historical accounts? Will you interpret the Bible by wild scientific guesswork about how rock layers were laid down . . . or will you interpret rock layers by clear biblical revelation? Will you fall down on your face and worship the modern scientific mind, or will you submit yourself to the epistemological authority of the Word of God?

God's big issues in the 2024 election usually don't align with the priorities of the voting base. But why are Republicans much more likely to support homosexuality than abortion?

Confusion reigns among evangelicals these days on the subject of same-sex attraction and gay identity. What do you say to a pastor applying for a job at your church who says, “I have (present tense) sexual, romantic, and deep emotional attractions to people of the same sex (or some other category of person or thing).” Specificity, clarity, and minimal nuance is recommended in these discussions which tend to gravitate towards too much contradiction and obfuscations and the use of worldly terminologies. Would celibacy or a fundamental change of mind (repentance) be preferred for the one who burns? Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Why does A.I. support pedophilia and place sins like this in the realm of ethical neutrality? About 97 percent of "scientists" believe humans evolved. Science has turned against God and leads the apostasy of the day. Thus, science is destroying itself. To trust A.I. programmers to get the worldview right is like trusting pedophiles to run the daycare center. Christians particularly are marginalized today in the courts and in the scientist community. But why? The root of this anti-Christian world comes with jettisoning God in the evolutionary construct.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the illegal immigration crisis that is going on at the southern border. Is redistribution of the wealth helpful to immigrants in the long run? Should Christians stand against the breaking of the law when illegal immigration occurs?

"Shall my daughter attend a Taylor Swift conference with the pastor's daughter and the rest of the girls at the church?" That's the question posed us recently, and we provide three strategies by which to overcome the overwhelming power of the zeitgeist in the modern age. The underestimation of the demonic powers let loose in pop culture signifies a lack of watchfulness and spiritual power. Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Have we been heading the wrong direction with this age-segregation, programmed church, and children’s ministries? Are we really following through on the Titus 2 and 2 Timothy mandates for church discipleship and worship? Questions come up here concerning delegation, children’s church, child evangelism, youth culture, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the displacement of God’s law with the traditions of men. Here’s a key question—Do children of Christian parents belong in the Ekklesia (the church congregation), or do we put them in a “children’s church?” Do we shuffle children off into Sunday Schools, or are they to be discipled daily in the homes by their own parents? Or a little of both?Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

The Civil War marked a sharp shift in America from decentralized to centralized government, from small government to big government, much influenced by Marxist thinking. What were these forces operating at this time—first rooted in the revolutions of Europe? We speak with the family-producers of a new documentary film, "Quest for Empire," and explore Abraham Lincoln's commitment to grow a strong centralized government in the US—something that continues to this day.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

The enemy of my enemy is . . . my friend. Clearly, the left wants to put Donald Trump in jail, and they want pro-life protesters in jail for eleven years. While evangelicals may not be quite as thrilled to vote for Trump this time, they are discovering new reasons to vote for him. Ben Franklin's admonition is starting to ring true for more evangelicals—either they will have to hang together, or hang separately. If the left has it their way, somebody's going to hang. Trump favorability is on the rise—higher than ever. Biden favorability is dropping fast. We comment on Trump's speech at the National Religious Broadcasters association. Interesting stuff on this edition of Generations.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Alabama recently ruled that embryos are children. Many in support of in vitro fertilization are against this decision by the Alabama Supreme Court.
