The Generations Radio Program

Will we be surprised at who we see in Heaven? Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan discuss some unexpected salvation stories in this edition of Generations. Raquel Welch—a Reformed Presbyterian? Steve McQueen converted a year before he died? Could God be this merciful?

We take a moment to review the New York Businessman's Revival of 1859, the Welsh Revival, the Korean Pentecost, and the Crossweeksung Revival with David Brainard. Does a holy anticipation, unified corporate prayer, and mountain-moving faith matter when it comes to unusual visitations of the Holy Spirit in corporate reviving? We all want to be part of something that is spiritually alive, that contributes to kingdom growth . . . but what is the precursor to reviving? Active, persistent, corporate prayer.

Young people today appear to be riddled with depression and low self-esteem. However, many young people in college also expect to be paid a six-figure salary upon entering the workforce. Kevin Swanson and Steve Vaughan address this odd phenomenon in our world today.

With everything going woke now, and Walmart about as bad as Target by the “woke indexes,” must we boycott just about every company now? We review the 1792 Exchange and 2ndVote.com, and consider the strategy when the opposing team has got us on our own 2-yard line. What are you called to do when it comes to standing for righteousness in an unrighteous world?

We take up two relevant contemporary examples of how God's law must be maintained as the standard for human society. Governments have a choice between God's law or chaos. What must governments do when dogs kill humans? What do Christians say about efforts to reparations for those who have served as slaves, or those who have been kidnapped by Muslim slave traders in the 18th century, or the 21st century for that matter?

A "redoubt" is a small, often temporary, defensive fort, and some are attempting this in northern Idaho. We are back to the discussion—is this a time to concentrate the salt? Are we in a defensive position? Where can we live where the petty tyrants and big government tyrants might just leave us alone? Strategy, agenda, and calling is important and worth discussing. Will we shift our energies to local politics, or should Christians just abandon politics altogether? What's our first concern when it comes to building Christian community?

Jimmy Carter has a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ," and he believes that "Jesus Christ would approve gay marriage." Lesson learned: the American liberal theology of the 20th century yielded the liberal politics of the 20th century. And, beware of pat religious phrases stuffed with the wrong theology. We analyze former President Jimmy Carter's faith rooted in the fatal theology of Paul Tillich and Reinhold Niebuhr . . . as he approaches the end of his life. Pray for him.

Families are moving out of the big blue cities into the red states, and they get 10 times the house for half the price (or something like that). But this brings up the bigger questions: Are Christians called to minister in the inner cities? Or will they make a bigger impact (culturally speaking) in the rural counties? Are we called to separatism or puritanism? We grapple with these big questions at one of the most critical moments in the history of a civilization—at the very fall of the West. Is it time to move your family? 

The stock market has turned into a casino. Nearly half the options on S&P 500 stocks as well as on SPY and QQQ have maturities of less than 24 hours (0DTE). This means that everybody is after a quick buck . . . a REALLY quick buck . . . about as quick as a slot machine in Vegas. Now, 60% of options traded had maturities of 1-2 days, up from 0% in 2010, and 6% in 2018. Investor-to-gambler ratio has changed dramatically . . . by 60-fold in thirteen years. What are the biblical principles that underlie a healthy economy? We go over them on this broadcast.

After 80 years, the "Doomsday Clock" has been moved up to 90 seconds before midnight. That’ the closest humanity has ever been to “Armageddon.” What’s the worldview operating here? Worldly scientists have turned more pessimistic than ever, but will this be a self-fulfilling prophecy? We remind our listeners God is control, and He is destabilizing the nations. But, Christians must submit to God’s laws, remain humble, and seek the Lord. The second major nuclear arms race is now under way.
