The Generations Radio Program

We take up peer pressure and peer influence on this edition of Discipleship for Dads. What makes for good friendships, edifying peers, and wise counsel? And how do we proactively arrange for good peer interactions? What about sleepovers? And, what does a father do if he sees his children are swayed by bad peer influencers?

An Oklahoma Catholic school was refused government funding due to its ideology and worldview taught in the curriculum. The US Supreme Court concurred, finally acknowledging that only a secular humanist curriculum may be supported by tax dollars. The state would have to impose limits on curriculum choices. Two points. Education is not neutral. And education must reside under parental funding and control.

The New Testament has little to say about external symbols and rituals. Men are to pray with the lifting up of holy hands. But what is this 1 Corinthians 11 bit on head coverings for women? We discuss the history of it, the 0.06 percent of protestants that still require it, and the biblical data on the subject. Is it really a cultural issue if the angels are concerned with it, and if the creation ordinance is reintroduced? What if women never pray or prophesy at the church? Is the woman’s hair a sufficient covering? And, why did the practice disappear when the feminists showed up in 1960?   Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250528.mp3Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.

Our governments have provided free hired killings for parents who want to murder their own children, and they are calculating how much money they could save if they knocked off a few thousand elderly by euthanasia. But we insist that this is not true charity. This is the weird, twisted charity of the Democrats. A few Republicans are coming to realize that whatever our society doing with the redistribution of the wealth is unsustainable. The only solution is to cut Medicaid and Medicare, but that ain’t happening until the nation has a worldview shift.

We cover the Colorado transgender nightmare and contemplate attempts to reverse Obergefell. But be encouraged. Bad ideologies don’t last all that long—60 to 70 years max. We include a little history lesson to gain perspective here. The Darwinist eugenics and superior race theories were smashed to smithereens in 1945. The witchcraft and seances of early 19th century America were tossed into hell by 1865. These movements were outrageously popular, but they didn’t last long. Jesus reigns.

Every child exhibits rebellion, because we are all rebels by nature. But, what about the prodigal teen that takes the wrong path and exhibits full-bore rebellion? What is the right way to react to rebellion? What are the steps to take when dealing with chronic rebellion issues in the home? We pulled together a full panel of four dads to tackle this one.

Japan exemplifies Proverbs 14:34 unlike any other nation, turning into a reproach and an embarrassment in the world scene. Japan’s birth implosion and economic debacle is the worst in the world. But here’s the history of it, beginning with a visit by the most evil woman in the world in 1922. The nation invited this American Jezebel back to address their parliament in 1954. They went on to kill 70 percent of their children throughout the 1950s, setting themselves up for a gross humiliation in later centuries.

We tackle some of the more controversial and divisive questions on the program, including this question: Should my kids take the Lord’s Supper? While the things that should unify us usually divide us in the Christian church, we do our best here to keep this conversation edifying, biblical, and balanced (majors and minors-wise). We draw in 1 Corinthians 11, and discuss whether the warnings apply to children. Then, we address the parental responsibilities in overseeing the children who participate.

A highly sexualized, kid-grooming, rated-R society calls for parents who are on their game when it comes to media and child-training. What are the risks of starting too early, and what are the dangers of starting too late, when guiding a child around the bear traps and landmines of sexual imagery? What about detecting soft porn and the “hentai” of anime? Homeschool mom Greta Eskridge offers some helpful pointers in this edition of Generations.

Here are the lessons learned from those who have been de-banked, de-platformed, and de-everything elsed over the last 15 years. We are encouraged by Trump’s Inter-Agency Anti-Christian Bias Task Force. The federal government is rolling back its persecutions, but then again . . . Right Wing Watch and the SPLC are very much alive and well. But keep in mind, the lions are tied down. Preach on and lead on for the cause of righteousness.  Download the episode MP3 here: https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/generationsradio/gr20250519.mp3Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.
