The Generations Radio Program

“This election, the future of America is at stake” – it’s a bit like the boy who cried wolf. But this time it really may be true. The upcoming midterm features the biggest swings in our lifetime, with socialists, communists, and Islamists in the running. Kevin Swanson talks to Tim Barton of WallBuilders about what’s going on nationwide, and how the future of America would fundamentally change if even 50 percent of evangelicals would actually vote. They discuss… - The...

Jesus wants you to love and serve your wife today, and it’s easy to get into a holding pattern THINKING you’re doing that. But when the chips come down, how well are you REALLY doing?

They discuss… - How to stop being oblivious to your wife’s struggles – including the one question to ask that will open your eyes to what the rea...

Did God create the world only six thousand years ago, in the space of six days, and all very good? Does the Bible even speak on this issue? And does it matter? Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow investigate the age of the earth in scripture, why it is so controversial today – and what difference it makes to both biblical doctrine and natural revelation… - Why the fifth commandment requires a six-day creation week - Epistemological authority and who is really the high priest of knowledge in o...

Christianity built peaceful and prosperous societies – but where it disappears, barbed wire fences and barred windows return.

They talk about… - The possibility of civil war or secession over abortion, with southern states challenging liberal state “shield” laws that protect kill-pill providers, like laws protecting slave traders… - What studies show ab...

Note: This edition of the Generations Radio Program originally aired in 2025. Should America or Christians in general be actively seeking to defend the nation of Israel? What is to be said for the Seed of Abraham inheriting the world? The rising tide of anti-semitism and wars in the Middle East bring the question of the nation of Israel to the forefront in the minds of many Christians. We ask the question, “What does the Bible say about that?” But our real task here is to train us all h...

Confidence in public schools has fallen to an all-time low of 32%, down from 62% in 1975. In France, rioters have burned down 24 schools. What happens when the socialist state can’t deliver what it promised? Kevin Swanson sits down with Danny Craig to talk about the collapse of the system, and what Christian parents should do about it… - Why France’s school riots, Spain’s rent protests, and Detroit paying students up to $1,000 to show up all point to a system in collapse - Why socialism is a...

Homeschooling can be chaotic, and it’s easy to let the big things slip sometimes. But…what ARE the big things?

Kevin and Jacob look at 60 years of televangelism: the false Christ it presents, why it draws the poor and the disabled, and why people keep giving even when the promised hundredfold never arrives. They also take up a harder question. If God blesses obedience, why do faithful Christians like William Tyndale still suffer and die? And are today's 60 million podcasters any better than the televangelists?

The Botkin sisters recently apologized for their book, So Much More, which argues that it’s sinful for a woman to leave her father’s house before she is married. But were they right to issue this apology? What does the Bible say? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow sift the scriptural indicatives and imperatives to figure out the answer… - What Numbers 30 really says about the extent of a father’s authority over his unmarried daughter - How to balance binding the consciences of single women vs....

The media's heroes are celebrities famous for defying God. Who are God's heroes, and are we giving them to our children? Kevin Swanson and Danny Craig tell the stories of Wycliffe, Tyndale, William the Silent, and the Scottish Covenanters, including teenagers who chose death over denying Christ. Hebrews 11 gives us a cloud of witnesses. This episode calls parents to pass those stories on and raise sons and daughters to be God's heroes in their families, churches, an...

Abortion didn't even make the list of top priorities for Republican voters in a recent AP-NORC survey. With the midterms weeks away and abortion referendums on the ballot in Idaho and Missouri, are Christians paying attention to the signs of the times? Kevin talks with Sam Rust about what's at stake this November, and in Brazil's elections. They discuss: - What's on the ballot in Idaho…and can the abortion referendum be defeated? - Why do pro-life leaders and pro-life voters so often fail t...

Your family schedule is a statement about what matters most in your life. God has given us a tremendous gift in time – and everyone uses it for the things they believe to be the most important. Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, and Danny Craig talk about how to evaluate your schedule, and what it says about your goals, your objectives, and your reason for living. They discuss: - Is “me time” a Christian idea, and if not, does that mean we can never have time alone? - How much time should ...

Research from David Reardon shows that 60% of post-abortive women would have chosen life, if they’d had the emotional and financial support they needed at the time.

Taking a position on truth is pretty unpopular today, but there are still some who have the courage to do it in the public forum. Dr. James White is one of the nation's most active Christian apologists and debaters, having debated atheists, Muslims, etc. over the last twenty years. Here, Kevin Swanson interacts with James on how to engage the battle in the dangerous war of ideas—with meekness and fear.

Many people claim to have “no creed but Christ,” yet when you ask them what they believe, you discover nothing but cliches like “let go and let God.” Kevin Swanson talks with Jack Lee from the Chorus in the Chaos podcast about the triteness of modern Christianity, and why people are so eager to trivialize the doctrines of Scripture. They look at the big cliches, and ask if the apostles ever said anything like that: - “Christianity is a relationship, not a religion” – why this ironically dis...

In 1990, the US was eight times more powerful than China; today China is 33% more powerful than the US. How can we rebuild the nation? Kevin Swanson talks with Chad Roach and David Reese about the only way out of the hole: reigniting a vision for every American to fruitfully exercise dominion. They discuss: - The positive and negative duties of dominion, discovering, innovating, producing, building, making new gains – and preserving it over time - Why so many Christians make so little money...

Sunday morning shouldn't feel like survival. In this episode of Discipleship for Dads, Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig talk through how to actually help your children engage in corporate worship — not endure it. Their conviction is simple: kids belong in the service, sitting under the preached Word alongside the whole body of Christ. But how do you get a two-year-old through a two-hour service? The men get honest and practical, sharing what's worked (and flopped) in ...

America has the highest divorce rate in the world. The family is in shambles. Practically every church has to deal with families who have suffered from divorce, even to multiple generations. Unless we strengthen the marriage relationship, you can forget about all of the other battles for faith, family, and freedom. Here Kevin Swanson interviews Paul David Tripp, author of “What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage.” Here is some very helpful advice for anybody married or about ...

Can Christians appreciate nude art? The Roman Catholic and fine art traditions think so. But is nudity really ok as long as it’s “non-erotic” and “artistic?” Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow investigate what scripture has to say about public nudity, shame, and lust. They discuss: - Is the body – God’s creation – intrinsically shameful? - What the Bible says about uncovering nakedness…and what we all know to do when it happens accidentally. Should our response be any different when it’s on ...

If anti-immigration nationalist parties have their way, countries like Germany and the UK will essentially disappear by 2075 due to plummeting birth rates. But if immigration continues, those countries will be run by Muslims. We’re looking at the most massive geopolitical shift since the fall of the Roman Empire in AD 476 – but there is still reason to be hopeful! Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the wildcard that no one is talking about: Christians having babies. They reveal some surpri...
