Generations Radio

Some homes raise kids under a list of man-made rules — others let anything go. Both are a form of rebellion against God. The dads discuss how fathers can set biblical standards for movies, music, and modesty in the home without sliding into either ditch, and why the motive behind a standard matters as much as the standard itself.

The U.S. deficit keeps climbing, Gen Z is pouring retirement money into sports betting, and crypto speculation is at an all-time high. Kevin and Bill ask the question: when did gambling start passing for investing? They dig into the biblical difference between creating wealth and merely obtaining it by luck... and why a culture that's lost its character can't be fixed by policy alone.

Jesus gave the apostles and the seventy-two direct power over unclean spirits... but is that authority universal, or was it unique to them? Kevin and Josh work through Luke 10, Acts, and Ephesians 6 to ask what delegated authority actually means for believers today. Should we be casting out demons?

By 2031, public schools could lose another 3.4 million students to falling birth rates and rising homeschool numbers. Kevin and Danny make the case that this isn't just a trend; it's a values shift. They tackle the topics of trusting God with family size, wrestling with anger and control as a parent, and why every inconvenient child is a gift.

The odds of a single living cell assembling by chance are 1 in 10 to the 50,000th power…and evolutionists still won't admit it's over. Kevin Swanson breaks down the staggering complexity of DNA, RNA, and the ATP synthase motor…why "dirt can't write software"…and why Sir Fred Hoyle himself recanted his atheism at the end of his life. Then Bill Jack joins Kevin to talk phrenology, punctuated equilibrium, and why 92% of biology professors now believe gender is a social construct.

The dads discuss the difficult process of preserving and growing your relationship with kids who are leaving for marriage – rather than stepping back too far or holding on too tight. They talk about how parents can keep from saying too much – or too little – while appropriately backing off…the proper alternative to feeling that you're "losing a child"…and how they have personally navigated these difficult but blessed times.

Massachusetts is so empathetic for mothers who "need" to murder their children that it has now removed the previous restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks. Kevin and Bill discuss how the wicked abuse language to make abortion seem compassionate and loving…the history of abortion in the US…the inevitable connection between abortion and euthanasia…and how to think biblically on a topic that more and more Christians seem confused about.

Should a disagreement on baptism prevent a man pursuing a woman? Kevin and Josh use this reader question as a launchpad to talk about wise discernment in courtship. They discuss authority and submission…whether deferring to a woman's preference is permissible if she otherwise won't marry you…the implications lurking beneath the surface of simple doctrinal questions…and whether there is something more important than mere confessional alignment.

This week's top headline involves two "good Christian girls" cat-fighting on a basketball court. Is this really Christian femininity? Kevin and Danny discuss scripture's vision for women, and how to cultivate it (or kill it) in our daughters. What is our objective getting girls into sports? What kinds of side-hustles cultivate feminine instincts? What role models should we present them – Disney's Princess Elsa…or God's Princess Bellaheld? And what are the best resources for discipling daughters?

Kevin and Bill discuss the political ingredients that produce war – and the similarities between today and the periods leading up to WW1 and WW2. They talk about how both power and popularity are shifting from the West to the East, with China in ascendance…and the narrow window of opportunity in the next 25 years that makes more war likely because of the impending "birth-dirth."

Is it normal for children to fight on a daily basis over stupid things like who sits in the middle seat of the car? Why do things keep getting worse, even with constant correction? The dads address this ubiquitous issue, and talk about "pulling the weeds early and often"…use of the rod…why "stop it" isn't enough…how to encourage good behavior rather than just quelling fights…and how they discipled their children through these issues.

Christian families have learned to say "sorry" and "that's okay" without ever touching the heart. Kevin is joined by Rob Rienow, homeschool dad of seven and author of Healing Family Relationships, to talk about what forgiveness actually requires…why time alone doesn't heal wounds…and how to keep bitterness from taking root at home.

Where is the line between protecting your children, and creating people who are unable to properly have conversations with others? Kevin and Josh look at scriptural examples and warnings, and discover that the biggest stumbling block to our children is often ourselves. Regardless of what dangers we shield them from, stumbling children happens in the home too. We often protect them from being taught bad worldviews – but fail to protect them from more direct sin.

Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan are the biggest things out there – platforms built on idle curiosity and incoherent skepticism. The imaginations of the masses are captured by meandering topics, aimless digressions, and fourth-grade language. Meanwhile, biblical illiteracy and moral confusion are rampant, even in the church. Kevin talks with Bill about how this generation is the first to consistently live out relativism…what the results are…and what our agenda must be, if we want to relay firm foundations.

1 in 40 babies are now born through IVF – 96,000 per year. To achieve this, nearly 4 million embryos were created. With 12 million IVF babies since 1978, there are now nearly half a BILLION embryos who will never see the light of day. Is the chance to have one child worth the lives of so many others? Kevin speaks with Josh Holler, author of "Misconceiving IVF: An Essential Guide to the Perils of In-Vitro Fertilization."

Is it still possible to pay off a house before you're 30? If so, how can we support our children toward this goal? The dads talk about how young men they know have achieved this – and what biblical principles laid the foundation. They discuss the connection between obedience and diligence…whether childhood is for playing…focusing on productive skills like carpentry, rather than football…and ultimately, seeing our work as participation in God's own building.

A communist Muslim wins a U.S. Senate primary in Michigan. A Muslim communist becomes mayor of New York City. Both regions are majority Christian on paper. Bill Jack joins Kevin to talk about why apostate nations open the door to Islam and Marxism…the biblical pattern of locusts devouring an unfaithful land…how Dearborn, Michigan became America's first Sharia stronghold…and why only revival, not politics, can rebuild what's been dynamited.

It's common for older children to have rocky relationships with their parents. So how can you work at restoring these – especially when the gap seems to widen every time you talk? Kevin and Joshua discuss what makes the biggest difference…the place of the church…a few things that make things worse rather than better, and how to proactively prevent conflict. What does lived experience reveal…and what does the Bible say?

Forest fires are sweeping California, Washington, Colorado and Oregon. Coincidentally, these states are very high on the Generations "evil index" of abortion liberalism and sexual perversion…and the worst for church attendance. Similar things are happening in France and Spain. Should we attribute these disasters to specific judgments for specific sins? Kevin and Bill talk about how God works in history, and what it would take to stop the trajectory toward destruction in Europe and America.

What do you do if your little boy comes downstairs wearing his sister's dress, and says he wants to be a girl? Kevin talks to Aaron Boldman from HelpMyBoy.com about effeminacy, and helping boys to ground their mindset and feelings in God's reality. They discuss the difference between body envy and lust…the power of nurture over nature in our present culture…and how dads can disciple boys to live out their sexuality in honor of God.

Many men compulsively side with women, whether they're right or wrong. But we should be more jealous for God's honor than women's, and more fearful of what He thinks. The dads talk about the white knight mentality, and ask: don't women deserve special honor? How biblical is "happy wife, happy life?" Can you really keep the peace without obedience to the gospel of peace? And what should you do if there's a tug-of-war for control in your marriage?

James Dobson. John MacArthur. Phil Robertson. Voddie Baucham. Charlie Kirk. The prophets are gone, but their voices still echo. Kevin and Danny mark one year since these five godly leaders passed away. They revisit the urgent, biblical case made by each of them - to pull the children out of the godless public schools before it's too late. Will the church listen to their voices?

Is settling Mars a biblical idea? Does God want us building colonies on other planets? Kevin, Josh, and Danny investigate the secular and humanistic motives behind space exploration, and what exactly Scripture says we are given dominion over. Then they switch to uncovering the truth about UFOs – and the scriptural, historical, and current evidence that they are spiritual, not physical.

We know that state schools teach humanism. "Man is God." Transgenderism is the natural fruit of that religion. But it's just the high schools…right? There's no Nietzsche in 1st grade. Kindergartens don't have transgender bathrooms. So aren't state grade schools safe? Kevin and Danny answer with the first five questions of the children's catechism, contrasting these with what kids learn in grade school – things like "Follow your heart," and, "You can be whatever you want to be…"

The government's debt ratio of 135%, but the average American household is hilted up 350%. Inflation is going crazy no matter who we put in office. If we want change, we're going to have to return to God's economic ways as families and churches. Kevin talks to Rory Groves about taking your finances back into your own hands…how they have implemented biblical economies in their homes…and the sacrifices and mindset adjustments it requires.

We are to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord – but what are the basics of doing this? The dads talk about their own practices: the place of family worship…what they've learned about sanctification taking place in daily activities…which books of the Bible they focus on most…how to instill doctrine systematically while keeping it relevant to life…helping kids deal with opposing worldviews…and making the home safe for questioning.

Germany didn't become Nazi Germany overnight. Prussia decriminalized sodomy in the 1700s. The universities became seedbeds of Marxism, textual criticism, and Nietzschean nihilism throughout the 1800s. The Weimar Republic decriminalized abortion in 1927. Kevin Swanson traces this long apostasy and explains why National Socialism was the rotten fruit of a nation that had long abandoned Jesus Christ. Kevin is joined by Jacob Tanner to address why Nazism was so evil...regardless of the narrative.

Kevin and Josh investigate the biblical right and responsibility of bearing arms to preserve the lives of those we care for. They talk about how the great missionary John G. Paton used a gun (without ever killing anyone)…when "shoot first and ask questions later" is biblically appropriate…when we stray into risking blood guiltiness…plus, what the founding fathers meant by a "militia," biblical examples of the people taking up arms, and the limits of such resistance.

A new survey reveals that 39% of Americans still hold to biblical creation — down from 47% just 15 years ago. Kevin and Bill discuss the fact that 99% of PhD scientists and 99% of college classrooms are united against the Genesis account. The apostasy of geology has a history...and that has played out in the courtroom battles over creation in the public schools.

For the first time, Brazilian parents are getting prison time for homeschooling…families in the Netherlands are receiving "return to school" orders…and homeschool freedoms are unraveling in CT and NE with new restrictions being rolled out. Kevin speaks with Kevin Boden, attorney for the Home School Legal Defense Association, about the national and international situation, what it means, and what homeschoolers must do to keep the freedom to teach their kids.

Scripture treats complaining and ingratitude with immense gravity. But how do we teach a whiny six year old about the eternal ramifications of discontentment? The dads talk about modeling gratitude and joyfulness, rather than self-pity and criticism…some of the biggest causes of ingratitude and grumbling in a family…how to lovingly and consistently correct complaining…and the strategies that have helped them the most to create a thankful spirit in their homes.

When the media calls homeschooling "weird," Kevin and Danny say: guilty as charged. They discuss why loving your children, rejecting state indoctrination, and building on a biblical worldview looks strange to a culture that can't even answer basic biological questions...which worldview actually produces critical thinkers...and why God's bar for "successful" is so much different than the world's.

What does Scripture say about burning vs. burial? Cremation has gone from 0.01 percent in 1900 to 63 percent in 2026. At the same time, pagan practices like tattoos and piercings have exploded in popularity also. Does how we treat the body matter – and if not, what's wrong with cannibalism? Does destroying the image of God in fire communicate something, vs. planting it in the ground? And how does the resurrection factor in?

John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress features a man who has lost all hope of salvation, but he is alive and well in the lyrics of the most popular Christian song ever made. Kevin is joined by Danny to ask: what does it mean when billions identify with despair rather than resurrection? And what does Scripture say music is actually for?

A Christian heritage has led many people to incredible wealth...although most of them end up apostatizing. Now, Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire...but was his wealth obtained as honestly as we think? Spoiler alert....Mars isn't going to be successfully, sustainably populated anytime soon. Sam Rust joins Kevin to discuss wealth, the Christian heritage that is often behind it, and the things that matter most for building (and keeping) it.

Women offer their bodies as living sacrifices to bring forth children. Being pregnant doesn't give them a pass to sin – but it does require an extra measure of grace. How can we provide this, and minister to their weakness in an understanding way? The dads talk about preparing for childbirth emotionally, spiritually, and physically…taking hormonal changes and depression seriously…being steady without being detached…and nurturing your wife with the help of God's Word.

Smartphones are disrupting kids' relationships, depersonalizing sexuality, drawing away their affections, and influencing their beliefs – but we can't very well ask our elders how they dealt with these problems in their day. Kevin talks with Phillip Telfer, author of "Help! The Smartphone Ate My Family" about surviving the digital age as a parent. They discuss the importance of guardrails, rules, awareness, conversations, and escape routes…and the methods Phillip himself has used to keep his kids safe.

The kingdom of God begins in a garden, while cities are depicted as centers and symbols of rebellion and pride. The first city is built by Cain, succeeded by Babel, Sodom, Nineveh, even Jerusalem. Yet God calls us to seek the peace of the cities we live in…and He himself has a city, the New Jerusalem. With many Christians fleeing America's big cities, Kevin and Josh search the Scriptures to ask: are they right?

30% of Americans dabble in the occult. 30% of Gen-Z women are on the LGBT spectrum. Only 36 women now attend church for every 43 men—a total flip from 20 years ago. What is happening? Kevin talks with Sam Rust about the link between our cultural moment and the baalism of ancient Israel…how the suffragettes were motivated by Satanism…why modern women are so unhappy…and how Christian men can personally help draw women back to the faith.

For this special edition celebrating America's 250th birthday, Kevin is joined once again by George Grant. They discuss the defining moments and defining faith behind America's founding, as well as tje thread of reformed Christian conviction that modern historians want to erase. Finally, they make the case that the Christian heritage isn't gone yet...the deeper the roots, the harder they die.

Is America salvageable, or are we headed the way of post-Christian England? Pluralism promises to accommodate every religion, but every government is built on somebody's law, and it's either God's law or man's tyranny. As England's outgoing prime minister brags about the "gayest parliament in the world", Kevin and Danny discuss the effects of pluralism on American culture, and how God's law is the only foundation that can maximize liberty, restrain tyranny, and salvage a nation.

In this follow-up to last week's program about navigating spritual crises of faith, the dads talk about what to do when your child has already abandoned the faith. They discuss how this is one of the most painful trials a Christian can face...what loving the apostate child looks like...and why a father's trust in God may speak louder than anything else.

Will our kids be ready to carry the nation forward? Recorded live with listener questions, this episode digs into calling, gifting, and stewardship as the real measures of political readiness, why "rights" language falls short of biblical authority, and how families and churches, not politicians, are still the real engine of cultural change.

The numbers don't lie: denominations that ordained women first lost their members fastest, with the PC (U.S.A.) on track for a 95% decline by 2050. The SBC and PCA both voted this year to shut down women pastors and deacons — but will it be enough? Kevin is joined by Danny to ask what will actually survive this civilizational unraveling, and what it looks like to raise cornerstone daughters who are ready for it.

Senate nominee James Talarico (a self-proclaimed Christian) is very worried about Americans wanting to return to our Christian foundations. Kevin speaks with Sam Rust to trace where "Christians" like Talarico came from, who manage to turn every issue into one where the anti-Christian position is blessed by God. They discuss nationalism as an ideology…what "Christian Nationalism" really means when you cut through the disagreements…and what really matters for individuals to help restore our Christian foundations.

There's no greater joy to see your kids walking in the truth; no greater sorrow to see them abandon it. Yet 66% of 20 year olds will abandon the churches of their teen years. What contributes to this? What can dads do to prevent it? What are the safety nets we can put in place…how can we cultivate openness in our kids…how can we set boundaries and avoid bad influences…how do we effectively nurture and disciple?

Should we find entertainment in the injury of others? Kevin and Joshua discuss the recent UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, noting the similarity to gladiatorial games. They ask what our forefathers said about this, and whether there is a connection between gladiators, body-piercing, and even child sacrifice. Then they go to scripture to ask if we must respect the body as part the image of God, and whether we can delight in violence.

Why has fantasy gone from a niche genre to nearly every blockbuster movie in theaters? Is this a coincednece, or an escape ramp from the reality of God, sin, and judgment? Kevin is joined by Danny Craig to trace that escapism straight into the young adult section of the local library. They test Gandalf, Radagast, and Madeleine L'Engle's witches against Scripture's standard for the true source of power, then offer six criteria for choosing books that point kids back to God instead of away from Him.

Homeschooling is often treated as mom's department, but what does God's Word actually say? The dads ask the question: can you give 20 minutes a day to open God's Word with your kids? Will you ask your wife what she actually needs and follow through with it? Education is a massive task; don't leave your wife to do it alone.

A YouTuber with millions of followers aborts his unborn son after a Down syndrome diagnosis and draws 15,000 angry comments for it. Kevin and Danny ask the question...what is the difference between aborting a baby in the first trimester and aborting a baby in the fourth trimester? They discuss the self-worshipping roots of both abortion and pornography...as well as the coming collapse of Social Security.
