  The Proper Function of Civil Government 20.08.2026 1h 28min

  Only 0.1% of American murderers received the death penalty since 1960 — down from near 100% compliance in 1850. In this chapter from the audiobook Under God, Kevin Swanson traces how the church's abandonment of God's law gutted justice, defense, and restitution... and what it would take to restore them.

  God's Gospel 13.08.2026 1h 12min

  This week's highlight comes from Kevin Swanson's sermon on Romans 1, preached at Reformation Church of Elizabeth.

  Raising a Beautiful Woman of God 06.08.2026 52min

  American Faith Chapter 9 - Samuel Adams 30.07.2026 48min

  Samuel Adams is often remembered as a firebrand of the American Revolution, but few know he was discipled by a Puritan pastor for 47 years and once declared "a slave cannot live in my house."

  The Calling of a Husband 23.07.2026 1h 6min

  What does it look like for a husband to love his wife the way Christ loves the church? In this sermon from Reformation Church of Elizabeth, Pastor Joshua Schwisow unpacks Ephesians 5:22–33, outlining three dimensions of Christlike love every husband is called to — sacrificial, sanctifying, and nourishing.

  From Lesbian Feminist to Christian Homeschool Mom 16.07.2026 47min

  The Calling of a Wife 02.07.2026 1h 5min

  The world scoffs at Ephesians five. Submission is seen as a dirty word. But for the Christian wife who loves the Word of God, this passage is not a burden, but a picture of the gospel. In this episode of Passing on the Faith, Joshua Schwisow examines the calling of a wife, and explained why Ephesians chapter 5 cannot be separated from chapters 1-4. He digs into how to respond to common objections and misunderstandings of this passage, as well as what to do when your husband isn't living up to...

  American Faith Chapter 11 - George Washington - The President Who Feared God 18.06.2026 46min

  Two horses shot from under him, his coat torn by four musket balls, his hat punched through twice — and George Washington walked away without a scratch.

Not for him. But with him.
• 
  Family Life Chapter 2 - Family Relationships 28.05.2026 53min

  In this chapter from Family Life, Kevin Swanson confronts a sobering reality: Christianity is disappearing from American homes one generation at a time, and the primary culprit is not the culture — it is the abdication of discipleship within the family itself. He traces how secular education, mass media, and parental hypocrisy have quietly displaced fathers from their God-given role as the chief disciple-makers of their children, and what it will cost the church if nothing changes.

  Daughters as Pillars in the Palace of the King - Kevin Swanson 21.05.2026 1h 9min

• 
  Experiencing God's Love - Norm Wakefield 14.05.2026 1h 20min

  In this powerful message from the 2022 Father-Son Conference, speaker Norm Wakefield explores how a man truly comes to know God loves him — not through facts alone, but through personal experience of God's presence. Drawing from a remarkable story of a man who walked a week from Uganda to deliver a three-word message, and tracing God's "I will be with you" promise from Abraham through the New Testament, Norm shows that the soul is saved and transformed when God's love moves from head knowledg...

  What God Says About Admonishing and Correcting Children - Kevin Swanson 30.04.2026 1h 11min

  In this sermon from Reformation Church of Elizabeth, Pastor Kevin Swanson explores Ephesians 6:1–4 and the biblical call to admonish and correct children.

• 
  Upgrade Chapter 9 - The Principle of Life Integration 23.04.2026 37min

  A child can graduate knowing how to parse Latin verbs and explain Plato's theory of forms, and still have no idea how to manage a household, raise children, or navigate a real business negotiation. This chapter from Kevin Swanson's audiobook makes the case that knowledge without life application isn't just incomplete, it's almost useless.

  Not Back to School 2025 - Interview with Stephen Kendrick 16.04.2026 28min

  In this episode from Generations' "Not Back to School" homeschool kickoff webinar, Stephen Kendrick speaks to homeschooling families about keeping discipleship at the center of their educational approach. He argues that curriculum and scheduling are secondary tools, while a parent's own walk with God is the true foundation of the home. The real measure of homeschooling success isn't academic performance but whether children grow to love and follow Christ.

  What God Says About Knowledge - Kevin Swanson 09.04.2026 1h 4min

  The Bible says the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge, which means how a child learns math, science, and literature is a spiritual issue, not just an academic one. When the fear of God gets stripped out of education - whether at home or in school - the foundation doesn't just crack, but eventually collapses. Listen to Kevin Swanson's recent sermon preached to his congregation on what's actually driving the breakdown in families and culture.
