The Generations Radio Program

The death culture is rising year by year without respite. A full 80% of the post-Christian Dutch in the Netherlands are for doctor-assisted suicide for any reason, and the US may not be far behind. What is the root of the death culture, and why is suicide completely opposite a right view of God, man, the universe, Jesus, and salvation? Modern man has given up the possibility of knowledge, truth, purpose, the right and the good, and the certainty of existence.

There is a great irony here—that these nations that once brought Christianity into India and Muslim Sudan . . . in the 18th and 19th centuries . . . are now led by Hindus and Muslims. We analyze the impetus behind this—pluralism and a spite for a Christian heritage. But ultimately, it is the humbling of the West, and the judgment of God upon a radically immoral people.

Big government has been let loose upon America . . . but now, Bidenomics has introduced flagrantly irresponsible government void of all restraint. Federal deficits are completely out of control now. The legacy of big government begins with Abraham Lincoln, and picks up again with Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, and Donald Trump.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

The freedom of speech is increasingly precarious here and elsewhere around the world. More journalists were killed last year than ever before. Christians are dragged into court and face long, drawn-out legal battles lasting 5-10 years. Kristen Waggoner, chief counsel for the ADF, said the case is a "stark reminder of the rising tide of censorship on a global scale." Is the FBI (and the courts) increasingly weaponized and politicized, and how will this bode for the nation in future elections?Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

The most intense persecution in the world, the most dangerous place in the world for Christians, is Nigeria. We catch up with Judd Saul on the progress of the Village Security programs, support for widows, building refugee homes, and ministering to the least of these Jesus' brothers and sisters.

The Cuban government has claimed ownership of all the children and made it a crime for Christian families to tell their kids about Jesus. What's with that? Why do governments, the schools, the media, and demonic forces target our children? What should parents do if the government attempts to take their children away, force them into government schools, or kill them in the River Nile? What would you do?Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Mass shootings have increased pretty substantially since the 1930s. As well, persecution of Christians has increased at least ten-fold around the world. Are the systemic encouragements to hatred and murder to blame, or does the individual take responsibility for hatred and acts of malicious violence? We take a quick look at Audrey Hale, who participated in the Nashville school murders, and her professed hatred for "white privilege." There are plenty of reasons and motives for hate and murder, but mostly it is the human heart that sources it all. Also, we provide five reasons for antisemitism, still alive and kicking on planet Earth.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Using a biblical metric, we take a look at the most financially prudent nations and the most financially imprudent nations in the world. Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, the US, and the UK are right at the top as those nations that are most in debt to foreign nations. The most prudent nations are Iran, India, Pakistan, Russia, and China. The West is cruising for a bruising as defined by Deuteronomy 28—in a cursed state.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

After Kentucky, Kansas, and Montana, now the Ohio electorate has voted to kill babies at will. We compare the US Supreme Court decision in 1973 to the heart of the nation in 2023 (fifty years later). That leaves only 6-7% of America that is pro-life, and who would elect a pro-life Congress. America is pro-abortion. What will the churches do now? Will the pastors repent, and will repentance begin in the household of God? The future of the nation is in the balance now.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

It's the American story of abuse, hypocrisy, and brokenness. And it's a story of healing, restoration, repentance, and reconciliation. Author and speaker Lee Ann Garfias shares her story as a homeschool graduate, and a homeschool mother herself. We make two mistakes. We believe that the ideal life is achievable, and then we consider ourselves a total failure when we fail to achieve it. This interview will encourage you if you are in the thick of it—raising children, nurturing a marital relationship, maintaining friendships, and trying to do ministry and hospitality.
