Father Hunger

Kevin — Wed, 16 May 2012 07:09:22 +0000

What we are facing, according to author Douglas Wilson, is a multi-generational decline in fatherhood that began in the 19^th century.

Or institutions haven’t helped either. The average family is in 5 times more debt (per the GNI) than they were in 1900. They’re under 6 times more government control/spending (per the GNI), and they’re under 7 times more corporate slavery. The average dad is constricted by 1,000 Lilliputians. His church is effeminized. He’s five generations away from halfway functional fathering. So now what? Douglas Wilson gets back to the basics in this important interview on his new book, “Father Hunger.”

Faith, Family, and Freedom in Finland!

Kevin — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:22:05 +0000

In the northern reaches of Scandinavia, there still beats within the hearts of some a desire for liberty, freedom, and faith. Kevin Swanson interviews Juhani Paavolainen, a homeschool father of five. Secular education has advanced in these countries, and skepticism rules in the public sphere. But the fledgling homeschooling movement is growing, and faith is still alive here and there.

Highest Teen Unemployment Rates Ever

Kevin — Mon, 14 May 2012 15:37:48 +0000

People used to say, “The idle brain is the devil’s playground.” Over 50% of young people 16-22 years of age are goofing off during the summer months. So how is that going to do anything for training the next generation to be ready to take up the slack left by the developing population pyramid (as the Baby Boomers retire)?

The child labor laws have done immeasurable damage to the work ethic of a nation, not to mention the character of young men across this nation. Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner talk about ways to teach your children to work.

Megachurches Afraid to Confront Homosexuality

Kevin — Fri, 11 May 2012 13:16:14 +0000

While the civil union bills are being addressed at the Capitol, the churches are capitulating on fornication, divorce, and even homosexuality. Are churches increasingly afraid to confront homosexuality? Kevin Swanson addresses Al Mohler’s recent interaction with the megachurch movement on these issues.

Evangelical Church Leader: “Children Are a Liability”

Kevin — Thu, 10 May 2012 11:35:39 +0000

A major evangelical church leader in America recently informed his radio audience, “Kids are no longer an asset. Children are a liability.” He doesn’t warn about the abortifacient qualities of the pill, and he’s encouraging birth control big time! Got to push that birthrate back down to 1.3! Kevin Swanson presents the OTHER worldview on this edition of Generations.

Anonymous Tips and the Fourth Amendment

Kevin — Wed, 09 May 2012 07:36:11 +0000

Can anyone call in an anonymous tip regarding drugs in your car trunk, bodies buried in your basement, and surface-to-air missiles buried under the tulip bed in your garden? Will the police be investigating you every other week? How does this apply to the social services? Kevin Swanson interviews Jim Mason, attorney for Home School Legal Defense Association, on another anonymous tip—Inspired Social Services Inquisition. It’s the Loudermilk Case. We review the state of the case which was recently appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Civil Unions for Homosexuals Coming to Colorado?

Kevin — Tue, 08 May 2012 08:26:01 +0000

Eight states in America provide Civil Unions for homosexuals. Four states were added to the list just last year! Will the ninth state be Colorado? Colorado is a battleground state and has been since the early 1990s. As of this morning, Colorado SB 002 is on track to pass the House unless the Republican majority leadership assumes the courage to stop it.

Presently, two facts seem to be emerging. The pro-homosexual lobby is growing in strength and epistemological self-consciousness. The other side is floundering and epistemologically unconscious. But, in the end, we win. They’re not having children, and we’re having five per family. What’s the strategy to fighting for the family, the basic foundation for any healthy society? Have a family! Have a lot of families and a lot of children! The self-centered, myopic, narcissistic existentialists will die out. They always do.

This program includes interviews with Treon Goossen and Bill Roach, both of whom attended the recent hearings at the House Judiciary Committee on SB 002.

The Dark Side of Charles Darwin

Kevin — Mon, 07 May 2012 06:53:59 +0000

Charles Darwin was arguably the most influential man in the Western world. However, not many people have the courage to present the man as he really was. Dr. Jerry Bergman presents facts about Charles Darwin that are readily accessible—but hardly well-known among the masses. But the real question that we keep asking is this: “How could a mental case, a sadist, a plagiarist, a racist, and a sexist have such an impact on billions of people and the millions of scientists and university professors who lead in the modern world?”

Christian Homeschool Girl Turns Atheist

Kevin — Fri, 04 May 2012 15:01:38 +0000

The stories are pouring in as the apostasy continues. Nice little homeschool girls turn into raging, feminist atheists. But why? God is sovereign over all things, but there are issues of human responsibility we can talk about. Some say that the majority of homeschooling graduates and Christian school graduates are fading away from the Christian faith and turning into humanists, feminists, and atheists. 50% of the Millennials raised in a church are no longer associated with any church. Many more are looking for the flakiest church they can find. So what gives? On this edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson interacts with questions related to classical education, colleges, and the apostasy of Christian kids.

If Congress Won’t Act, I Will!

Kevin — Thu, 03 May 2012 17:05:10 +0000

If Congress Won’t Act, I Will! That’s the new campaign cry for the Barack Obama 2012 candidacy. The Executive Orders are picking up, although they are not yet to Bill Clinton’s level. Are we moving closer to a dictatorship? Dictatorships are much more efficient when it comes to centralizing power and “getting things done” (at least if you are talking about government involvement in our lives and the rise of tyranny). Steve Vaughn joins us to talk about the recent scandals in Washington and the move towards dictatorship (as we follow the old Roman pattern from Republic to Empire).

With the failure of the Christian faith in this country and the allowing of religious pluralism in our public institutions, the doors are opening to animal sacrifice and even human sacrifice. A recent attempt at a human sacrifice in San Diego failed to gain public acceptance (for now). Kevin Swanson emphasizes the importance of biblical law to halt the growth of paganism in our churches and communities.
