The Generations Radio Program

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."
