Another survey discovers that pastors at mainline Protestant churches are far more likely to identify as liberal than the congregants in the same churches. Too many young pastors are overwhelmed with the conflicts and the spiritual battles that go on in the churches. We recommend restoring discipleship and mentorship in the local churches instead of relying so heavily on large seminaries.

The government's endorsement of sexual perversion is increasingly leading to the government's endorsement of child sexual abuse. Phillip Zodhiates set out to help a child who, according to witnesses, was held by the state in a homosexual home, and abused. Now, the civil case against Phillip could very well establish precedent to normalize and legalize child sexual abuse. Phillip joins us here and lays out the control of the battle. Powerful forces are working hard to break through the final barriers to sexual perversion. The decriminalization of pedophilia is in the works, with the support of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Planned Parenthood International, and is gaining momentum in many countries.

Will conservative talk show hosts or pastors take the prophetic call to this generation? Tucker Carlson refers to abortion as human sacrifice, and ties in pagan cultures throughout history. Why has America reverted back to human sacrifice with such enthusiasm? And what are the differences between pagan cultures like the Carthaginians and our world today?

The worldwide faith tradeoff from North and West to South and East was laid out in the 2023 release of Gordon Conwell Seminary's Status of Global Christianity Report—a stark illustration of the collapse Western Christianity. Christian adherents in Europe and North America as a percentage of the world population dropped by more than half between 1900 and 2023 (from 21.9% to 10.5%), while the percentage of Christians in Asia, Africa, and South America increased from 6% to 21.9% of the world population. The two world people groups had exchanged positions over 123 years. The South ascended while the North declined. Meanwhile, Islam had increased its pull upon the world from 12% to 25% between 1900 and 2023, and atheists/agnostics increased from 0.2% to 11.1% over the same timeframe. We look at the reasons for the decline, and the critical need for reviving and reformation now.

Southern Baptist leading voice, Al Mohler, remarked recently that Andy Stanley has departed from the Christian faith. But what is it that constitutes abandoning the faith? What are the irreducible elements of the Christian faith? We can entertain intramural debates with the Christian churches and denominations, but there is a limit. Where is the line?

All the Republican years, the years of Conservative media, the Rush Limbaugh years, the Heritage Foundation, the Reagan Years, the Fox News years turned out to be a waste of time, a waste of rhetoric, a waste of votes, a whole lot of hot air, and much ado about nothing. We always got more government deficits and budget increases under Republicans. The 80,000,000 Americans that went to the polls to vote for conservatives, smaller government, and economic conservatives . . . were completely duped. They wasted their votes. But why? Why does this happen? We go over the fundamental causes and instrumental causes of the fall of empires and nations, and then describe what it would look like should a civilization break down.

“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? 

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?
