Generations Radio

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 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?
