Below are some free MP3 selections from Kevin Swanson's Generations radio program, which deals with contemporary Christian issues, interviews prominent Christians, and provides commentary on the news of the day.

From the Projects of South Central Los Angeles to Visionary Father (Interview: Dr. Voddie Baucham) by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

He's a major reforming leader in America - one of the most significant pastors in the Christian church in America. He's a visionary father, and a leader in the homeschooling movement today. And he was raised by a single Buddhist mother in the projects of South Central Los Angeles in a society absent of any concept of the biblical family. If there was a voice of hope in a time of great devastation to the family, especially within the ranks of the African-American families in our country, it would be this great man of God - Dr. Voddie Baucham. Can a man transcend the baggage of generational sins and build a godly heritage for generations to come? This issue of Generations will answer that question once and for all!

"I want you to know that I have enjoyed my Puritan Hard Drive immensely. I simply could not have imagined such a resource before getting my hands on it! From Pastors to Ph.D. candidates, there is simply nothing else out there that puts so much at your fingertips. What an amazing tool for pastors." - Dr. Voddie Baucham, Reformed Baptist Pastor (Grace Family Baptist Church, Spring, TX), Author, Conference Speaker, Seminary Professor, Church Planter, etc.

Already Compromised: Creation and the State of Christian Colleges (Interview with Ken Ham of Answers In Genesis) by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

Extensive surveys of Christian colleges indicate a fair amount of 'religious' compromise, and a 'house divided against itself.' Incredibly, 78% of the Religion Department heads take the Old Earth Perspective, while only 35% of the Science Department heads take that position. What gives? Do these 'Religion' guys know more about science than the 'Science' guys? Here is an eye-opening program concerning the state of the faith in America, as Kevin Swanson interviews Ken Ham on the state of Christian colleges and universities.

"There is no other way to get such easy, convenient and inexpensive access to so many great works from the best Reformation and Puritan preachers and teachers, past and present -- and the study software on the Puritan Hard Drive is out of this world in terms of usefulness!" - Pastor W.J. Mencarow (Reformation Church, Boerne, Texas - San Antonio area),  Author, Editor of The Paper Source Journal, and has been interviewed on numerous radio and TV programs including "Good Morning America," most networks and in major U.S. newspapers and magazines, etc.

Pastors Who Don't Warn Against Godless Education - The Millstone Treatment by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

Does God care how you educate your child? Some Evangelical and Reformed churches tell their pastors, "Not really." If godless, secular education is the root of corruption for the faith, freedoms, and all of the rest, why won't pastors engage this area? If this is a root of the present apostasy, and children are being misled by deceptive metaphysical outlooks, why wouldn't shepherds want to protect the sheep? What would Jesus say about churchmen who claim there is "no such thing as Christian education?" What would Paul think, the man who came up with this idea of "The Lord's Paideia" in Ephesians 6:4?

"As a documentary filmmaker I often have to do extensive research. The Puritan Hard Drive is just a massive resource for anyone needing to do their homework on a project that involves theology, church history, and/or sound doctrine. It's truly a technological marvel and we are blessed to have access to such a rich heritage of excellent material. And the drive fits in my pocket! Just wonderful. It is an invaluable resource." - J. Fernandez, Film Producer, "IndoctriNation: Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity in America"

When a Father Has His Daughter's Heart (Interview: Scott Brown - Director of the Nation Center for Family-Integrated Churches, Author of Family Reformation: The Legacy of Sola Scriptura in Calvin's Geneva, etc.) by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

The Generations staff found a father whose heart has turned back to his daughters! What a concept in a lost and lonely world. So we interviewed this father to capture a little piece of the heart of it. It is amazing to see how the world is instinctively repulsed by the notion of fathers who love their daughters, and want to raise their daughters for Christ. This notion is so foreign that it is immediately suspect in the minds of the average American. Listen to this program and ask yourself, 'Whatever happened to family relationships in the post modern world?'

"It's absolutely phenomenal. It's the best for the money you'll ever get anyplace in books. You cannot exhaust them. It's impossible. It's so vast. But I'm telling you, as far as a research tool, it's second to none. Unbelievable stuff. And the search, the search function is just beautiful. The Puritan Hard Drive is a treasure trove for a local church pastor." - Pastor Scott Brown (Hope Baptist Church, Wake Forest, NC), Director of The National Center For Family Integrated Churches, Author, Conference Speaker, etc.

A Tale of Two Men (Henry Morris and Hugh Ross) & Why Evolution Is Not Science by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

It's a tale of two men today on Generations. Henry Morris and Hugh Ross take radically different perspectives on Creation and Evolution. But it's deeper than that. They take radically different perspectives on a more basic level. On the death of Henry Morris, the man behind the modern creation movement, this program is a tribute and a challenge!

Also see: Evolution Is A Myth by Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis), Pastor Brian Schwertley, et al. (Many Free MP3s, Articles, Books, etc.)

"Having the Puritan Hard Drive is like owning the largest Puritan and Reformed Library in the world along with a full time research assistant with his PhD in Puritan Studies from Oxford or Cambridge. Imagine not only owning the largest Puritan and Reformed library, but having a full-time team of world-class research assistants at your beck and call. The KnowledgeBase software on the Puritan Hard Drive provides an effective road map to access the material in ways that are easy-to-use, organized and highly productive. With the click of a button, you can easily do ten hours worth of research in just seconds!" - Pastor Paul Washer, Founder and Director of HeartCry Missionary Society, Reformed Baptist Pastor, Author, etc.

Battling for the Soul of a Nation - Nation Building in Southern Sudan by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

The United Nations, China, Hillary Clinton, and a few godly Christians are wrestling over the future of the newest nation in the world-Southern Sudan. Geoff Botkin returns from leading a team of men to this new nation for high-level meetings with the leaders there. How do you build a nation's economy and political state on biblical principle? The same way they did it here-and the same way we're trying to rebuild it here! This may be one of the most highly educational, insightful, and visionary interviews we have ever done.

"The First and Second Reformations gave us the most faithful Scriptural teaching and preaching since the time of the Apostles, and there is no other resource, outside Scripture itself, where you can find so much of God's truth as in the Puritan Hard Drive. May the Lord continue to use this most profitable tool to promote a Third Reformation that encompasses the whole world (Isaiah 2:2-4)!" - Pastor Greg L. Price (Covenanted Presbyterian Pastor), Author, Theologian, etc.

Courageous Dads - Interview: Stephen Kendrick by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

The film "Courageous" has garnered about $50 million in sales through box office receipts and DVD sales. It contains the most substantial Christian message in the history of film. Here Kevin Swanson interviews the director, but this is not your ordinary interview. We talk about the core message of the movie-the desperate need for fatherhood in almost every nation around the world (as fatherhood continues to disappear). We ask Stephen how he is living out the message himself. Dads, you will be powerfully encouraged by this interview!

How Ordinary Dads Can Change the World! - Interview With Pastor Joel Beeke About Daily Family Worship by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

Do you want to change the world? Do you want to make a real impact during the few years you get on the earth? Your average dad can make his biggest impact for the cause of righteousness at home! Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Joel Beeke on the practice of family worship. Why do we neglect it? What are the ways in which you can maximize this discipleship effort with your own children?

"The Puritan Hard Drive is a massive collection of primary Puritan resources, dozens of which are very hard to find anywhere else in the world. Any lover of Puritan literature, which, more than any other body of literature ever written, powerfully expands our minds, convicts our consciences, allures our hearts, and moves our hands, will find a treasure trove here." - Dr. Joel R. Beeke, President and Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Author of many important Reformed books (including the must read, Meet the Puritans: With A Guide to Modern Reprints), Editorial Director at Reformation Heritage Books, Editor of the Banner of Sovereign Grace Truth magazine and Pastor of Heritage Netherlands Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.

Passionate Housewives, Desperate for God (Interview With Jennie Chancey of Ladies Against Feminism) by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

Is there any alternative to the emotionally-androgynous power woman vision for womanhood in the 21st century? Is a woman's worth to be measured only by the degree of her ambition, the shape of her body, and her money-making skills? Thank God there is an alternative to the humanist vision of materialist power women and desperate housewives, passionate for themselves. A couple of housewives have teamed up to write a protest book, called "Passionate Housewives, Desperate for God." This book takes on the Stepford Wives Caricature, that somehow a woman who doesn't work as a mindless slave for a corporation, but functions as a productive member of a family economy - investing herself in a generational vision, must by default become a mindless automaton. Author Jennie Chancey dispels these myths in 20 minutes on this segment of Generations.

Pornography and Your Son (Her Steps Lead to Hell) by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

The average 16 year old boy has 10,000 times more access to pornography than did the plowboys working their fields in the 1880s. Click. Click. Click. And they are on the sites. Christianity Today reports that seventy percent of American men ages 18-34 view Web pornography once a month, and the numbers aren't that different for professing Christians. The problem is intensifying among our youth. A recent survey done by the University of Alberta finds that boys in rural areas are far more likely to have a problem with porn than boys in cities. It is no small problem, and it is affecting marriage, divorce, child abuse, and a hundred other issues within the family in this country and many others. In this segment of Generations, Kevin Swanson defines the biblical principles relating to purity, modesty, and sexual desire. This leads into some practical directions on training our young boys in self-control and sexual purity.

Evangelicals, Repent! (Interview With Paul Washer of HeartCry Missionary Society) by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

Whatever the Christian 'Gospel' became over the last generation or so within the evangelical church was not substantial enough to salvage the faith. So serious Christians are beginning to define the Gospel using biblical language, and they're bringing back old biblical notions such as the Fear of God, Repentance, and Regeneration. Kevin Swanson interviews Paul Washer on his his recent messages calling a nation to repentance, and starting with 'evangelicals!'

"The Puritan Hard Drive is a tremendous blessing. I travel frequently to many parts of the globe. The Puritan Hard Drive allows me to continue my studies on the road with the same depth as when I am seated in my study at home.The wonderful portability of this massive Puritan library (and remarkable research software) makes the Puritan Hard Drive ideal for missionaries, students, or anyone who needs instant access to the best Reformation study materials in a variety of locations." - Pastor Paul Washer, Founder and Director of HeartCry Missionary Society, Reformed Baptist Pastor, Author, Conference Speaker, etc.

Why Christians Fail to Value Babies (& Concerning Birth Control, Abortion, etc.) by Kevin Swanson Interviewing Doug Phillips, President of Vision Forum (Free MP3)

While the American birth rate dips under the 2.05 replacement level (only salvaged by immigrants who average 2.6), another 90 nations around the world are experiencing their own birth implosions. After 120 million dead babies in this country, thanks to abortion and the abortifacient birth control pill and birth implosions among many demographics (not to exclude evangelical Christians), it's about time to re-assess our values and ethics using biblical definitions. A demographic winter is blowing in, so this may be the perfect time to take a look at our perspectives and attitudes towards children, babies, population growth, adoption, birth control, artificial insemination, surrogacy, and other important and related issues. Kevin Swanson interviews Douglas Phillips, president of Vision Forum, sponsor of an important conference scheduled for July of 2010.

Horror of Islam (Interview with Dr. Peter Hammond of Frontline Fellowship) by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

Here is one of the most shocking programs we have ever produced! Dr. Peter Hammond joins us to discuss the rise of Islam, and inevitable violence that most certainly attends it. Will Islam be to the West, what the Visigoths and Barbarians were to Rome? Dr. Hammond says, "Yes, and even worse." But while Islam overwhelms humanism, what will happen to the other worldview. . . Christianity?

The Ultimate Proof of Creation (Interview With Dr. Jason Lisle, Answers In Genesis) by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

There are conversations, and then there are BIG conversations. These are conversations about God, man, origins, and ultimate consequences. What constitutes evidence? How do you interpret evidence? How do you weigh evidence? These are not simple questions. They drill down into the very basic questions of life. Dr. Jason Lisle gives a clear and straight-forward explanation concerning how creationists and evolutionists look at the evidence. Everybody has their worldviews and presuppositions. It's just that some are better than others, and give a more coherent framework in which to "do" science, ethics, and logic. Some of the worst examples of logical fallacies and sloppy argumentation are used by evolutionists. Dr. Lisle explains why in this interview. N.B. Dr. Lisle's use of the term "free will" would be correctly termed and defined as "free agency".

31,000 Scientists Say Global Warming is Bunk (Vs. Al Gore and Bon Jovi) by Kevin Swanson (Free MP3, Generations Radio)

Over 31,000 scientists (9,000 of whom are PhD's in their respective scientific fields), have signed a petition calling the Global Warming policy recommendations proposed in the Kyoto Convention a 'harm' to the environment, producing deleterious effects to the 'health and welfare of mankind.' This is far and away more of a consensus than anything that the Chicken Little crowd has collected for themselves. Granted, these 31,000 scientists disagree with Bill Nye the Science Guy, Jon Bon Jovi, John McCain, Al Gore, Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, and Ben Affleck. And we all know who the masses will listen to - the celebrities and politicians who love to create crises and present themselves as solutions. This edition of Generations looks at the concomitant rise of junk science with the failure to recognize God or fear God in scientific enquiry.

DR. VODDIE BAUCHAM REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDS THE PURITAN HARD DRIVE

I want you to know that I have enjoyed my Puritan Hard Drive immensely.

I simply could not have imagined such a resource before getting my hands on it!

To have that much information from a consistent, biblical, orthodox, and gospel-centered point of view is simply astonishing.

Anyone who admires the Puritans simply must have the Puritan Hard Drive.

From Pastors to Ph.D. candidates, there is simply nothing else out there that puts so much at your fingertips.

What an amazing tool for pastors... thank you for your work.

Soli Deo Gloria!
