Raising Spiritual Champions—Interview: George Barna - The Most Urgent Need of the Day

September 27, 2023

“The overwhelming majority of children today lack the spiritual training and basic discipleship they need during their critical childhood years.” That according to George Barna, our guest on this edition of Generations. A sermon a week is not enough. A twenty-minute Sunday school lesson is not enough. How do you inculcate a biblical worldview in your child? Are parents living and teaching the Gospel, and exemplifying biblical truth in the home?

Taking the World for Jesus
This is the retelling of the most exciting story in all of human history. Something truly remarkable occurred when Jesus Christ rose from the dead and gave His disciples a great commission. The world would never be the same again. Kevin Swanson takes the reader through the 2,000 year worldwide saga of this epochal mission to the world. From Judea to Rome, Ireland, Denmark, China, Japan, Uganda, New Zealand, and to the uttermost parts of the earth, the light of Christ shines into the darkness, transforming every nation throughout the centuries.

Here we discuss the power of "positive affirmations," flat earth, and Big Foot. But really, the discussion goes deeper into the modern babel, anti-establishmentarianism, "Remnant-ology," the nature of truth, hyper-individualism, a fixation on the unknown or the untestable or unprovable, and the interpretation of prophetic language. Would you trust science that doesn't fear God? Would you trust science that fears human conspiracies?

The share of the world living under democracy (where people vote for their leaders) has dropped to 29%, down from 54% back in the year 2000. That's the lowest number since roughly 1950, as monitored by Freedom House. But why did freedoms begin disappearing from the earth somewhere around the year 2006? After 1,000 years, the heritage of freedom brought to the world by the Christianized West is finally disappearing. We discuss the various types of economic and political freedoms and provide a strata of priority freedoms for which we still need to fight.

The pagans are back in California, Nevada, and Indiana, and with them comes the ancient practice of human sacrifice. But human sacrifice is unacceptable in a Christian nation—and Christian governments must prosecute these false religions that open the door for it. These demonic religions are on the rise as Christian faith wanes. Who is opening the gates to this spiritual darkness, and how do we shut the gates to it now?

Here we are arguing over whether to kill a 6-week-old child or a 15-week-old child. Americans are okay with killing kids now. And Republican politicians are waffling on abortion bans. Imagine what it would be like to have a wise leader in Washington, leading a nation . . . or leading any nation for that matter? With the dearth of wise and righteous leaders, our nations and states have lost their way. We draw from Proverbs and other Scriptures to define what wise leadership would look like.

Can governments do whatever they want to do? Can they take all your money at gunpoint? Can they confiscate your children? Can they engage in genocide at will? Or is there a point at which they violate God’s law? The rise of statism or the embracing of the god-state has been devastating to the country and has affected the church and church leaders in the modern world. The question as to whether God is God or the state is God is an important one. Here are seven statist sins committed by the state today, and too often Christians become willing accomplices.

What ever happened to the 10 commandments? Digging into the first four, consider this: America is one of the most unrestful nations on Earth. This nation is more irreverent and tends to take God's name in vain more than any other nation, and the visual medium seems to attract a fixation verging on idolatry. Do we break these commandments at a more fundamental, principle level, and fail to realize it? And, what about the 4th commandment? What are the basic requirements of the 4th commandment before we get into the controversial elements? Here we deal with the fundamentals on the sabbath.

College enrollment in the US is off by 4,000,000 students. Fifty-one million people quit their jobs in 2021 and 2022. At this critical juncture in Western history, with the collapse of the nation’s character and with unemployment rates soaring around the world . . . the restoration of economies will have everything to do with mentorship and a focus on character.

The US Supreme Court tried to get Coach Joe Kennedy's job back, but the high court is powerless to change the heart of America. The coach lost his job anyway after SCOTUS ruled in his favor. Christians fight for symbolic battles, but they are losing the cultural war at every front. If a Christian school wants to fire an Islamic coach who prays on the field six times a day, do they have that right? What we need is a Christian state, but the only way to get that is to restore Christian churches to the nation . . . which might produce Christian senators and representatives and judges. We're a long way from that. In the meantime, the best thing we can do is get the government completely out of the business of education. It's got to be tough for public schools attempting to maintain a pluralism that includes monotheism, polytheism, and atheism at the same time. How do they pull that off?

It was the largest robbery ever pulled off in human history—amounting to $49 trillion. Federal Reserve policy surreptitiously shifted most of the wealth of the nation over to the top 10% of the population over the last 10 years. But that's nothing compared to what the Russians pulled off when shifting the wealth of the nation from the communists to the oligarchs. Who would have known that Marxism would have turned out this way? A real disappointment to the utopian socialists of the last 175 years!

The United Nations Education Framework 2030 promises to export social justice, inclusion, LGBT, and all the other wokey programs to the world. And they are making progress! However, the one thing standing in the way of this international agenda is . . . parents, and more specifically, Christian parents who are committed to bringing their children up in the paideia of the Lord Jesus Christ. Kevin Swanson speaks with Kevin Boden from HSLDA International on the battle for freedom on the international scene.
