Post Election Postmortem: Group Therapy on the Election

According to numbers Kevin cites from Gary Bauer, 8 to 10 million Christians sat out the 2026 midterms. White evangelicals made up just 17% of the electorate, well below their usual 25%. Why did the loyal opposition lose the will to fight? Does the church actually care about liberty? And what can a small, committed minority do about it? Kevin is joined by Bill Jack of Worldview Academy for a post-election postmortem on where Christians go from here…- Why millions of Christians stayed home, and what it says about the church- Why many pastors say they love liberty but won't fight for it- Why Marxism is a complete worldview, not just a political party- Why liberty has to be defined by God's law, and how the gospel frees us from breaking it- Why Christians shouldn't flinch at the charge of "imposing values," since every institution imposes someone's religion- Why infighting among Christians is a demonic diversion- How 1 to 3% of well-discipled Christians can be salt and light for a whole city or stateGot a topic you want us to cover?

Donald Trump says he doesn't forgive his enemies, and he doesn't love them. Should we commend his honesty, or condemn his less-than-Christ-like words?  In today's episode, Kevin plays clips from the president's recent interview on 60 Minutes, and a 2015 exchange at the Family Leadership Summit. He responds to Trump's remarks about forgiving and loving his enemies, then asks what gets in the way of asking God for forgiveness. His answer is one word: pride. Jesus said that if we don't forgive others, our Father won't forgive us, and the way to forgiving others is first seeing our own need to be forgiven.  Kevin also draws the line between personal vengeance and the God-given role of the civil magistrate in Romans 13. A ruler can punish evil without bitterness, but only if he loves God first.   #Generations #KevinSwanson #LoveYourEnemies #Forgiveness #ChristianWorldview #Romans12  

Satan has gone after the children of God's people since Pharaoh and Herod. They will always be one of his main targets. What should Christian parents do? How should they prepare their kids for this battle? How can they keep from over-protecting? Kevin is joined by Daniel Craig to talk about the war on the next generation, and what parents should do about it…  - Why the devil targets the seed of the woman, from Genesis 3:15 to Revelation 12 - Why Jesus' warning in Matthew 18 makes protecting children a parent's first priority - The difference between protecting to prepare and over-protecting out of fear, control, or pride - Why hating evil can't be the motive, and what the church in Ephesus lost - How Kevin's parents sheltered him in the 1970s without raising him in fear - Taking your kids to the front lines side by side, from abortion clinics to street evangelism - Why a steady, trusting parent beats a fearful, intense one  Got a topic you want us to cover?

Christian persecution is rising in the five nations with the most evangelicals: the United States, China, India, Brazil, and Nigeria. In Nigeria alone, thousands of believers have been killed this year. Why is it happening, and what should Christians in America do about it?Kevin Swanson sees a spiritual battle behind the headlines, and a lesson in it: Jesus never promised His disciples an easy road. Then Bill Jack of Worldview Academy joins him in studio to talk about the opportunity the church missed over the last several years, why so many Christians want Jesus as Savior but not as King, and what it looks like to stand firm when the pushback comes. They point to their friend Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker who has fought for his convictions for over a decade while staying humble and kind and praying for those who opposed him.Their message is simple. Rejoice, love your enemies, and don’t give up.#ChristianPersecution #ChristianWorldview #StandFirm #KevinSwanson #GenerationsRadio 

Prices are up, wages are flat, and a house now takes almost half the family budget. If you’re a dad feeling the weight of providing for your family, this one’s for you.Kevin Swanson, Danny Craig, and Bill Roach start where every money conversation should start: God is good, and He has never let their families go hungry. From there, they get practical. Spend less than you make. Learn skills, not just a paycheck. Fix the oven yourself. Get creative with housing. Ask a few godly men to look over your budget. And don’t cut your giving. Bill tells what happened the six months he stopped tithing.They also share how they were raised, from Kevin’s family living on bread crusts on the mission field to Danny’s Harvard-educated grandfather who closed his coat with baling twine and died with a million dollars in the bank. #ChristianFathers #FamilyFinances #BiblicalStewardship #DiscipleshipforDads #GenerationsRadio #KevinSwanson

The midterms are over, and it was the worst night for Republicans in decades. Kevin Swanson asks the question most election coverage left out: where is God in all of this?Kevin says this is a judgment on the nation, and judgment begins in the house of God. He is joined by Sam Rust from Idaho, one of the few bright spots of the night, where churches helped defeat a pro-abortion measure by double digits. They talk about why voters turned, what the next two years may look like, and what Christian families should do now. Their answer isn’t panic. It’s building strong homes, churches, and communities, and preparing the next generation.The Most High still rules in the kingdom of men (Daniel 4:17). The mission hasn’t changed.More from Generations: https://generations.org#Midterms2026 #ChristianWorldview #ProLife #GenerationsRadio #KevinSwanson 

The Bible on your kitchen table cost William Tyndale his life. Five hundred years ago, he gave English-speaking families the New Testament in their own language, and he was burned at the stake for it.  Kevin and Josh tell Tyndale’s story, including how his jailer’s whole family came to Christ while he was in prison. Then they open the Scriptures to show why God wants His Word in every language. Jesus spoke Aramaic, the apostles quoted a Greek translation, and at Pentecost, everyone heard the gospel in their own tongue.  It’s a great one to listen to with your kids, and a good reminder never to take the Bible in your hands for granted.  More from Generations: https://generations.org   #WilliamTyndale #ChurchHistory #BibleTranslation #KevinSwanson #Generations #GenerationsRadio

Kevin Swanson and Daniel Craig discuss two school shootings with very different outcomes. In one, hundreds of police did nothing for 77 minutes; in the other, one man stopped the shooter immediately. They boil down the huge implications for what it means to be a man – and how to train our boys to assume manhood. They discuss…- How hard it is to being willing to “die” for others in even the smallest ways, let alone in the face of true death- What’s even more important than gun training for teaching our sons to instinctively sacrifice themselves – even when their flesh screams against it- How the demands of providence are not inconveniences or obstacles, but opportunities God provides to image his Son- The biblical view of heroism as self-sacrificial love, vs the pagan ideal motivated by honor- How to habitually practice assuming responsibility for others, and dying to self – so we’re instinctively ready to give everything if we are faced with the needGot a topic you want us to cover?

In America, we now spend $220 per family on Halloween – and just $40 on Easter. Meanwhile, harvest festivals are increasingly excuses to celebrate the Day of the Dead, Wicca has become a badge of honor, and the horror genre is exploding.Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the history of Halloween, its modern descent into glorifying death and darkness, and whether Christians today should still celebrate it. They talk about…- How Christians changed the name and meaning of October 31 – but now we’ve reverted to the pagan holiday while keeping the Christian name - How religious beliefs are externalized in symbols, and where we put our money indicates where our heart is- The human impulse to worship what we fear, and how our reaction to covid explains our infatuation with celebrating death- Why infatuation with the occult is a recurring feature of modern thinking, and the connection to rock-and-roll- How Christians can repurpose Halloween to redeem it for a holy cause – rather than being Debbie Downers and refusing to get involved at allGot a topic you want us to cover?
