The Generations Radio Program

Warning: This program may contain material not appropriate for children. We walk through the sordid history of the most popular, top-of-the-pyramid stars in the contemporary Christian music business. The only historical comparison that ties in would be the Catholic Church and the degradation of the papacy in the 1490s. We also recount word-for-word that historic moment in modern evangelicalism when David Wilkerson cried, “Ichabod!” Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250613.mp3Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

We continue to engage the battle where God calls us to stand for liberties, and return to the current court case around the Christian camp IdRaHaJe on this edition of the program. The Colorado Department of Early Childhood is asking this camp to choose between upholding their Biblical beliefs concerning biological genders and risk losing their license, or abandon their beliefs and mission to agree to the requirements outlined by the department. Kevin Swanson speaks with Andrea Dill from Alliance Defending Freedom, who is defending IdRaHaJe in the case.  Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250612.mp3Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

How many of us parents were clueless as to the insidious agenda behind Sesame Street, the number one most influential program on children in the history of media? We have uncovered evidence of Sesame Street promoting homosexuality as early as 1982. But fundamentally, both the underlying worldview and social views were radically humanist and socialist—from the beginning.

God’s judgment is hanging over the nations unlike any time in our lifetime. The Doomsday clock approaches midnight. Rogue states have added access to nuclear arms. Pakistan, India, Iran, Russia, and China are about as irritated as they have ever been. We take this from a biblical worldview perspective, applying Romans 3 to the Ayatollah and North Korea’s president. Not good. Not good. But is nuclear war survivable? Will God shelter us in the day of His wrath, per Zephaniah 2:3? Big questions to answer here.

The Christian cultural denominator has disappeared in our respective nations. But then, the Christians who remain can’t make up their mind whether they are salt or not. Mass confusion reigns—with the two-kingdom people, the Trumpy agenda, the antisemitic crowd, the arguers over strategy, the Sojourners, and the wokey evangelicals. There isn’t much salt left, and whatever is left lacks flavor. The solution is the same—churches doing Matthew 28:20 and 2 Timothy 3:17.

Average marriage age for women has increased from 21 to 29 over just a few decades. What’s a girl to do in her single years? Christian young women aren’t interested in the Lalaland purpose for life. They’re looking forward to developing more of a family economy in the future. They want to employ the talents, hone the gifts, and prepare for the future. They would rather serve others, build relationships, and deny self than to serve self. How is this to be done given the challenges of the modern socio-economic conditions? There is no one-size-fits-all solution, so we are going with a young women’s panel for this one on Generations.

Back in the early 2000s, there was a rising persecuting force against Christians in America, but as of now, it has gotten much worse. When it comes to addressing the sin of homosexuality and transgenderism in particular, the push-back against Christians who are expressing their faith and speaking the truth is intense. It's good for Christians to remember that if the world of lust and pride doesn't love you, this is a good position to be in. A Christian's values lie in the truth of God's Word, while the world passes away with the lusts thereof.

Euthanasia is gaining steam around the Western world. Every birth-imploding, abortion-saturated nation is moving in this direction, with both American and the post-Christian European nations opening the door to it one after another. Unless there’s a shift in the churches, there will be no avoiding the holocaust of mass euthanasia that is coming. So what is the worldview behind euthanasia? How should we view suffering and the purpose of suffering? Are we really in a position to determine what the long-term effects of a particular action will be and to declare that those effects will bring about ultimate good? Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the topic of euthanasia on this edition of the program.
