Beginnings

Generations with Kevin Swanson aired for the first time on October 4, 2003 on KZNT, an AM station in Colorado Springs, Colorado, as a weekend program. We quickly added a second station, another AM station in Denver, 50,000 watt KLT.

Our first program featured a speech by Mike Smith, President of Home School Legal Defense Association. The second weekly program featured an interview with Teri Spray, director of Christian Cottage Schools in Colorado, on the value of parental involvement in the education of their children.

From the beginning the staff included Dave Buehner as producer and Kevin Swanson as host.

The Vision

The vision of the program is to present life from the perspective of a biblical worldview and within the framework of a relational model of living. Worldview and relationships. There are no professionals on this program. There are no psychiatrists, professional counsellors, bureaucrats, and seminary professors. But you will find fathers, mothers, grandparents, pastors, and friends. We are introducing modern life to a different social context. We also assume the existence of God and the foolishness of human thought without the benefit of transcendent truth.

The Christian philosopher of the 1960s, Francis Schaeffer, is a major impetus behind our work. His work of 50 years is summarized in this simple statement - modern man is lost and lonely. We are working to provide a solution for both problems. Transcendent truth in the context of relationship.

God's Blessings

The program took on a daily format on January 1, 2005. Initially, the daily program aired on KGFT (FM 100.5) in Colorado Springs and KLT (AM 670) in Denver.

In February of 2006 we secured a morning drive time schedule of 8:30 am for the program on KLT (AM 670), and during the following month added a weekend program on the Faith and Freedom Network, based in Iowa.

Requests for tapes or downloads for the program during the first year totalled about 300. By the third year of the broadcast, tape requests and digital downloads grew to about 55,000. The program is now heard in over 30 countries and all 50 states via the internet.
