The Generations Radio Program

Evangelicalism is coming apart on the question of repentance. Does following Jesus include leaving the world and the LGBT lifestyle? Does a sinner need to be repentant to be part of a church, or should the homosexual, the homosexual “married” guys, the pedophiles, and others feel comfortable joining the rest of the sinners sitting in the pews? Did Jesus draw lines or circles? What does the parent do when a young son or daughter comes “out of the closet?” Pray. Grieve. Call to repentance. Then, wait for the prodigal to come back home.  Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus address Andy Stanley's October 1st sermon defending North Point Community Church's homosexual-affirming Unconditional Conference and Rev. Albert Mohler's two World Magazine columns entitled "The train is leaving the station: Andy Stanley's departure from Biblical Christianity" and  "Go and sin no more: Andy Stanley doubles down on his departure from Biblical Christianity."Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

The contrasting worldviews of Islam and Christianity are explored, along with the Persecution Project in Sudan and Africa.

A recent survey discovered that Donald Trump used religious language much more than any other president in 100 years. And another survey found that Trump is considered the most religious candidate for president among Republicans. What gives? We compare Donald Trump with Grover Cleveland. And what is that which constitutes substantial faith—especially when contrasted with superficial religious phraseologies?Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Another survey discovers that pastors at mainline Protestant churches are far more likely to identify as liberal than the congregants in the same churches. Too many young pastors are overwhelmed with the conflicts and the spiritual battles that go on in the churches. We recommend restoring discipleship and mentorship in the local churches instead of relying so heavily on large seminaries.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

The government's endorsement of sexual perversion is increasingly leading to the government's endorsement of child sexual abuse. Phillip Zodhiates set out to help a child who, according to witnesses, was held by the state in a homosexual home, and abused. Now, the civil case against Phillip could very well establish precedent to normalize and legalize child sexual abuse. Phillip joins us here and lays out the control of the battle. Powerful forces are working hard to break through the final barriers to sexual perversion. The decriminalization of pedophilia is in the works, with the support of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Planned Parenthood International, and is gaining momentum in many countries.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Will conservative talk show hosts or pastors take the prophetic call to this generation? Tucker Carlson refers to abortion as human sacrifice, and ties in pagan cultures throughout history. Why has America reverted back to human sacrifice with such enthusiasm?

The worldwide faith tradeoff from North and West to South and East was laid out in the 2023 release of Gordon Conwell Seminary's Status of Global Christianity Report—a stark illustration of the collapse Western Christianity. Christian adherents in Europe and North America as a percentage of the world population dropped by more than half between 1900 and 2023 (from 21.9% to 10.5%), while the percentage of Christians in Asia, Africa, and South America increased from 6% to 21.9% of the world population. The two world people groups had exchanged positions over 123 years. The South ascended while the North declined. Meanwhile, Islam had increased its pull upon the world from 12% to 25% between 1900 and 2023, and atheists/agnostics increased from 0.2% to 11.1% over the same timeframe. We look at the reasons for the decline, and the critical need for reviving and reformation now.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Southern Baptist leading voice, Al Mohler, remarked recently that Andy Stanley has departed from the Christian faith. But what is it that constitutes abandoning the faith? What are the irreducible elements of the Christian faith?

All the Republican years, the years of Conservative media, the Rush Limbaugh years, the Heritage Foundation, the Reagan Years, the Fox News years turned out to be a waste of time, a waste of rhetoric, a waste of votes, a whole lot of hot air, and much ado about nothing. We always got more government deficits and budget increases under Republicans. The 80,000,000 Americans that went to the polls to vote for conservatives, smaller government, and economic conservatives . . . were completely duped. They wasted their votes. But why? Why does this happen? We go over the fundamental causes and instrumental causes of the fall of empires and nations, and then describe what it would look like should a civilization break down.Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

“The overwhelming majority of children today lack the spiritual training and basic discipleship they need during their critical childhood years.” That according to George Barna, our guest on this edition of Generations. A sermon a week is not enough. A twenty-minute Sunday school lesson is not enough. How do you inculcate a biblical worldview in your child? Are parents living and teaching the Gospel, and exemplifying biblical truth in the home? Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.
