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 our day: the scientist, or Christ? - Are the gap theory, day-age theory, and framework hypothesis exegetically reasonable? - The surprising amount of dating information in scripture, and what it reveals about the age of the earth - Why even Charles Hodge believed in an old earth – and what to think about it Got a topic you want us to cover?

Christianity built peaceful and prosperous societies – but where it disappears, barbed wire fences and barred windows return. Following their trip to South Africa, Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss how far down this road the US is. Are we far behind South Africa? 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 about the importance of these issues in the minds of Republicans and Democrats – and how those for evil are much more passionate about it than those against… - The recent Satanic prayer to open a city council meeting in Iowa, ending with “Hail Satan.” Will this kind of thing force Christians to finally stand for Christ in the public square? - How the origin of all these evils can be traced through the common thread of state education…and what Christians will have to do to reverse the situation.

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 how to handle the trunk and the leaves, the quarrelsome and the questionable, the divisive and the controversial, the camels and gnats, in theology. While we may not answer all the questions that various Christian sects would prefer us answer, we stick to core issues here as a matter of principle.

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 an idol, loved only until it fails to deliver - 400,000 evangelical children in Colorado schools, and why pastors need to take off the gloves - Why vouchers come with strings that tax credits don’t  - Raising children on obedience, work, and service, so they look to God and not the government Got a topic you want us to cover?

Homeschooling can be chaotic, and it’s easy to let the big things slip sometimes. But…what ARE the big things? Kevin Swanson sits down with Daniel Craig and Bill Roach to discover what God says parents absolutely MUST teach their kids… - The real place of academics, and why music is actually more important than math - The fear of the Lord, without which any other knowledge is impossible - Knowing, believing, and living the Word in obedience - Loving the brothers we can see, so we can love the God we cannot - The duty of stewardship, loving and serving others diligently, even when we don’t feel up to it - Honoring father and mother, not because otherwise they’ll get annoyed, but because God makes this claim on their lives Got a topic you want us to cover?

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?

Correction concerning our handling “So Much More” linked here. The Botkin sisters recently apologized for their book, So Much More, which argues that it’s nearly 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. encouraging them to become single career-minded boss-babes freezing their eggs by the age of 30 - Why it can actually be better for a daughter to leave the home, rather than staying – and at what age this starts to apply - How a woman should be preparing for marriage when single…and how she might need to leave the home to do this - How equating singleness with isolation/independence is a Marxist and statist view – and what the biblical alternative is Got a topic you want us to cover?

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, and communities.    More from Generations: https://generations.org   #ChristianHomeschool #FamilyDiscipleship #GenerationsRadio #ChurchHistory #KevinSwanson

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 to line up at the ballot box? - Turnout, money, and enthusiasm…what could actually decide the midterms? - Should pastors speak about elections from the pulpit…and what can churches legally say? - Is America divided beyond repair…and is secession a realistic possibility? - What to watch in Brazil's elections, and why they matter for the balance of power Discern the signs of the times, vote your convictions, and leave the rest in God's hands!

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 you spend on your own projects, vs your wife’s priorities, or your kids? - Are you spending too much time on work…and if so, how can you redeem it without becoming less productive? - Where is the balance with entertainment vs everything else that needs to happen – plus, should you do family worship on vacation? - When to stick to a schedule…when to reassess and readjust…and how to be “interruptable.” Let’s redeem the time, for the days are evil!

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 distorts people’s relationship with God so badly that it leads them to hell - “Just because it’s in a garage doesn’t make it a car, and just because you’re in a church doesn’t make you a Christian” – but is it possible to be a Christian WITHOUT being in a church? - “Ask Jesus into your heart” – does Jesus want to live in our ugly, wicked hearts, and did the apostles ever preach this way? - “God has a wonderful plan for your life” – really, what is it? - “Once saved, always saved” – how does that square with salvation as a resurrection to a new creation, if you’re still living in sin? Understanding the gospel is simple. But reducing the complexities of the Bible to coffee-cup phrases is really dangerous. Got a topic you want us to cover?

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?
