Television is filled with dysfunction, and the world is drowning in it. Negativity has saturated people of all ages, fed by competition to the bottom on social media. What if someone new came along with a fresh operating principle? A person who has travelled the world, seen the worst of it but deals strictly with how to move forward. An honest and inspiring leader who has lived the full Christian life as a pastor and uses his wisdom to inspire others. Meet Allen Jackson.

Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: April 14, 2025 | Allen Jackson | April 14, 2025
- Well.
- 00:00:04.119 --> 00:00:04.553
- Good evening.
- 00:00:04.553 --> 00:00:05.554
- I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:05.554 --> 00:00:07.522
- It's not easy to go up against the flood of information
- 00:00:07.522 --> 00:00:10.225
- That gets pushed to our phones,
- 00:00:10.225 --> 00:00:11.726
- The television, and not to social media. each week.
- 00:00:11.726 --> 00:00:14.696
- So many challenges in such a vast echo chamber
- 00:00:14.696 --> 00:00:17.432
- Of disturbing stories.
- 00:00:17.432 --> 00:00:19.267
- Stories about boys and girls in sports
- 00:00:19.267 --> 00:00:21.303
- Who train their entire lives only to find themselves
- 00:00:21.303 --> 00:00:24.206
- Facing boys. it's still happening.
- 00:00:24.206 --> 00:00:27.042
- Pills that you can buy
- 00:00:27.042 --> 00:00:28.176
- Without supervision to abort a pregnancy.
- 00:00:28.176 --> 00:00:30.345
- Just flushing a baby away.
- 00:00:30.345 --> 00:00:32.447
- There's an increase in abortion
- 00:00:32.447 --> 00:00:33.648
- Since roe v wade was overturned.
- 00:00:33.648 --> 00:00:35.851
- Fatherhood being depicted by hollywood as fat,
- 00:00:35.851 --> 00:00:38.420
- Clumsy people drinking beer in a la-z-boy chair.
- 00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:41.857
- Video games promoting extreme violence
- 00:00:41.857 --> 00:00:43.859
- Where whoever kills the most people wins.
- 00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:47.062
- Well, school boards insisting that they set the rules
- 00:00:47.062 --> 00:00:49.798
- Instead of the parents.
- 00:00:49.798 --> 00:00:51.466
- There's plenty more, and it's often said
- 00:00:51.466 --> 00:00:53.368
- That problems have to get worse before they get better.
- 00:00:53.368 --> 00:00:56.738
- So last fall, a majority of the country said
- 00:00:56.738 --> 00:00:59.074
- Enough is enough.
- 00:00:59.074 --> 00:01:00.609
- Their message that it's time to move back
- 00:01:00.609 --> 00:01:02.978
- To the christian principles that founded us, and to stand up
- 00:01:02.978 --> 00:01:06.148
- For a biblical worldview before any more damage is done.
- 00:01:06.148 --> 00:01:09.951
- Well, our guest tonight calls that a christian civic duty.
- 00:01:09.951 --> 00:01:13.755
- He's the pastor emeritus at the parish presbyterian church,
- 00:01:13.755 --> 00:01:16.892
- As well as the chancellor of the franklin classical school,
- 00:01:16.892 --> 00:01:20.428
- And is the author of this new book, the last crusader
- 00:01:20.428 --> 00:01:23.465
- The untold story of christopher columbus.
- 00:01:23.465 --> 00:01:26.668
- Doctor george grant, welcome to our show.
- 00:01:26.668 --> 00:01:28.737
- Well thank you.
- 00:01:28.737 --> 00:01:29.871
- It's a great, great privilege to be with you again.
- 00:01:29.871 --> 00:01:32.741
- We are honored to have you back.
- 00:01:32.741 --> 00:01:34.342
- There is a lot to discuss.
- 00:01:34.342 --> 00:01:36.211
- I want to begin with a recent
- 00:01:36.211 --> 00:01:37.445
- Example of the american people exercising their civic duty.
- 00:01:37.445 --> 00:01:41.650
- In this case, they took on the movie makers of disney.
- 00:01:41.650 --> 00:01:44.586
- You might remember when generations of people
- 00:01:44.586 --> 00:01:46.388
- Saw the original snow white, the first full length
- 00:01:46.388 --> 00:01:48.790
- Animated film, was released back in 1937.
- 00:01:48.790 --> 00:01:52.527
- Sold a lot of tickets back then.
- 00:01:52.527 --> 00:01:54.296
- But the new people in charge
- 00:01:54.296 --> 00:01:55.730
- Thought it would be wise to remake snow white
- 00:01:55.730 --> 00:01:58.033
- And do a more assertive, independent character
- 00:01:58.033 --> 00:02:00.936
- To better reflect what they believe
- 00:02:00.936 --> 00:02:02.470
- Were modern sensibilities.
- 00:02:02.470 --> 00:02:04.272
- So even before the movie came out, this new snow white.
- 00:02:04.272 --> 00:02:06.875
- Her name is rachel ziegler showed her independence
- 00:02:06.875 --> 00:02:10.045
- Thinking fans would want to hear her political views.
- 00:02:10.045 --> 00:02:12.914
- Here's just a short taste of what she had to say.
- 00:02:12.914 --> 00:02:15.350
- Oh, for kamala harris.
- 00:02:15.817 --> 00:02:18.920
- And it's actually non-negotiable.
- 00:02:18.920 --> 00:02:22.524
- Our rights are on the line, folks.
- 00:02:22.524 --> 00:02:25.393
- Are reproductive rights.
- 00:02:25.393 --> 00:02:28.763
- Come on,
- 00:02:29.030 --> 00:02:30.765
- Go vote blue.
- 00:02:30.765 --> 00:02:32.067
- And if you disagree with the sentiment,
- 00:02:32.067 --> 00:02:35.437
- Just hit the unfollow button.
- 00:02:35.437 --> 00:02:38.073
- I don't need your business.
- 00:02:38.073 --> 00:02:39.808
- Thanks.
- 00:02:39.808 --> 00:02:41.476
- Wow. i don't need your business.
- 00:02:41.476 --> 00:02:43.345
- I guess she only got into acting to get into people magazine.
- 00:02:43.345 --> 00:02:46.982
- Hundreds of millions of dollars
- 00:02:46.982 --> 00:02:48.416
- Are spent on the movie and the promotion,
- 00:02:48.416 --> 00:02:50.085
- But disney fans wanted snow white the real one.
- 00:02:50.085 --> 00:02:52.954
- Not a young actress or a company built
- 00:02:52.954 --> 00:02:55.690
- On family values pushing some other agenda.
- 00:02:55.690 --> 00:02:58.860
- How did she misunderstand her assignment so dramatically?
- 00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:02.731
- You know, i think that, there's an echo chamber
- 00:03:02.731 --> 00:03:06.301
- Among the elites, particularly in washington and, in la.
- 00:03:06.301 --> 00:03:10.972
- And as a result, they just don't know,
- 00:03:10.972 --> 00:03:14.976
- What the american people want,
- 00:03:14.976 --> 00:03:17.379
- What the customers and the consumers desire.
- 00:03:17.379 --> 00:03:21.549
- And so they're selling a product that nobody wants.
- 00:03:21.549 --> 00:03:25.186
- And this movie, has taken her seriously.
- 00:03:25.186 --> 00:03:29.724
- They have, simply not gone to see, this movie.
- 00:03:29.724 --> 00:03:34.262
- And, she's not getting their business.
- 00:03:34.262 --> 00:03:37.065
- She was clearly out of sync with a large chunk of america.
- 00:03:37.065 --> 00:03:39.968
- I read where they hired someone to coach her to help her
- 00:03:39.968 --> 00:03:43.571
- Be more value sensitive to kind of main street.
- 00:03:43.571 --> 00:03:45.974
- And she did an interview, and beautifully.
- 00:03:45.974 --> 00:03:47.809
- They were so proud of her.
- 00:03:47.809 --> 00:03:49.544
- And at the end, she raises her fist and says, free palestine.
- 00:03:49.544 --> 00:03:52.947
- Yeah. totally collapsing all they done.
- 00:03:52.947 --> 00:03:55.317
- How can you be that tone deaf?
- 00:03:55.317 --> 00:03:56.885
- Well, you know, the one thing that i think
- 00:03:56.885 --> 00:04:00.155
- Is admirable about these folks is they are honest.
- 00:04:00.155 --> 00:04:04.926
- They're expressing what they really and truly are.
- 00:04:04.926 --> 00:04:08.697
- And the great thing about americans is they are beginning
- 00:04:08.697 --> 00:04:12.567
- To see through all of this, and they're exercising
- 00:04:12.567 --> 00:04:16.404
- Their consumer rights by saying, thanks, but no thanks.
- 00:04:16.404 --> 00:04:21.743
- You know, you and i both live
- 00:04:22.377 --> 00:04:23.278
- In this church world,
- 00:04:23.278 --> 00:04:24.279
- And there's a lot of voices out there
- 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:25.814
- That say we shouldn't engage culture.
- 00:04:25.814 --> 00:04:27.716
- We should stick to theology and maybe the history of the
- 00:04:27.716 --> 00:04:31.453
- Christian faith.
- 00:04:31.453 --> 00:04:32.320
- And if we do kind of look at culture,
- 00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:34.522
- They're pretty quick to say we're being political.
- 00:04:34.522 --> 00:04:36.958
- I'm curious, how do you push against those narratives?
- 00:04:36.958 --> 00:04:40.495
- Well, i think the best way to push
- 00:04:40.495 --> 00:04:41.896
- Against those narratives is just to simply go to genesis
- 00:04:41.896 --> 00:04:45.567
- One and to there we have the creation ordinances.
- 00:04:45.567 --> 00:04:50.839
- This is the way
- 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:51.873
- God intended the world to be his original design.
- 00:04:51.873 --> 00:04:56.478
- And when you look at that original design
- 00:04:56.478 --> 00:04:59.080
- And then realize that the redemption of christ,
- 00:04:59.080 --> 00:05:02.851
- Its purpose is to restore every broken thing,
- 00:05:02.851 --> 00:05:07.222
- To restore the world to the way god intended it
- 00:05:07.222 --> 00:05:10.825
- From the beginning.
- 00:05:10.825 --> 00:05:12.327
- We start to realize that everything matters.
- 00:05:12.327 --> 00:05:16.431
- The character and nature of marriage, of human sexuality,
- 00:05:16.431 --> 00:05:19.868
- Of the character and nature of our approach
- 00:05:19.868 --> 00:05:22.404
- To the world around us, the character and nature
- 00:05:22.404 --> 00:05:25.306
- Of the structure of a week, and how we use our hours.
- 00:05:25.306 --> 00:05:29.911
- All of that is a part of the biblical plan,
- 00:05:29.911 --> 00:05:34.015
- The biblical worldview
- 00:05:34.015 --> 00:05:36.418
- That as christians were to walk in and then
- 00:05:36.418 --> 00:05:40.088
- To disseminate to the wider world
- 00:05:40.088 --> 00:05:43.725
- In order to usher in the peace, the blessings and the hope
- 00:05:43.725 --> 00:05:48.096
- That the gospel brings.
- 00:05:48.096 --> 00:05:49.964
- It touches everything.
- 00:05:50.432 --> 00:05:51.933
- The bible speaks to everything,
- 00:05:51.933 --> 00:05:56.137
- And it speaks to everything with great clarity.
- 00:05:56.137 --> 00:05:59.340
- If only we'll take the whole counsel of god
- 00:05:59.340 --> 00:06:03.478
- And follow its dictates.
- 00:06:03.478 --> 00:06:06.114
- You know, when you explain it, it makes so much sense.
- 00:06:06.114 --> 00:06:08.016
- It seems so straightforward and obvious.
- 00:06:08.016 --> 00:06:10.385
- But what you're describing is a pretty significant deviation
- 00:06:10.385 --> 00:06:13.588
- From the contemporary practice of faith in our nation.
- 00:06:13.588 --> 00:06:16.691
- Right?
- 00:06:16.691 --> 00:06:17.892
- Most christians think that the gospel begins with john 316.
- 00:06:17.892 --> 00:06:22.430
- But the truth is, is that if jesus has come to
- 00:06:22.430 --> 00:06:26.367
- Restore every broken thing,
- 00:06:26.367 --> 00:06:28.203
- If he has come to usher in this new creation,
- 00:06:28.203 --> 00:06:32.640
- What we have to do is we have to look back at what
- 00:06:32.640 --> 00:06:35.210
- God's original intent was.
- 00:06:35.210 --> 00:06:38.313
- And then we begin to see that the gospel begins
- 00:06:38.313 --> 00:06:41.516
- To apply to every single detail and to art, music,
- 00:06:41.516 --> 00:06:45.386
- Literature, ideas, progress, science, all of it.
- 00:06:45.386 --> 00:06:49.224
- And when we see that, we begin to see how it was western
- 00:06:49.224 --> 00:06:53.828
- Civilization that was built in the first place.
- 00:06:53.828 --> 00:06:57.298
- When did the people in charge decide
- 00:06:57.298 --> 00:06:59.067
- That it was okay to try to play god and change boys into girls,
- 00:06:59.067 --> 00:07:03.304
- And why did they think
- 00:07:03.771 --> 00:07:04.873
- It was okay to force that on an entire population?
- 00:07:04.873 --> 00:07:07.742
- You know, i think that, there are some,
- 00:07:07.742 --> 00:07:10.945
- Who actually are in that battle
- 00:07:10.945 --> 00:07:14.482
- Because of supposed compassion.
- 00:07:14.482 --> 00:07:17.585
- They're confused about what compassion actually is.
- 00:07:17.585 --> 00:07:21.656
- There are others, though, who are pushing this agenda
- 00:07:21.656 --> 00:07:25.360
- Precisely because it undermines the character and nature
- 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.097
- Of the family.
- 00:07:29.097 --> 00:07:30.331
- It undermines the character and nature of virtue and morality.
- 00:07:30.331 --> 00:07:34.168
- And so it's a very deliberate rebel, illusionary attempt
- 00:07:34.168 --> 00:07:38.473
- To, overthrow western civilization.
- 00:07:38.473 --> 00:07:42.143
- It's a much more sophisticated approach
- 00:07:42.143 --> 00:07:44.379
- Than spraying graffiti on statues or,
- 00:07:44.379 --> 00:07:48.249
- Toppling our heroes or renaming our schools.
- 00:07:48.249 --> 00:07:52.287
- But it is the same sort of madness.
- 00:07:52.287 --> 00:07:55.990
- It's a revolution against the very foundations
- 00:07:55.990 --> 00:07:59.727
- That gave us the peace and prosperity that we enjoy,
- 00:07:59.727 --> 00:08:03.765
- This great experiment and liberty.
- 00:08:03.765 --> 00:08:06.568
- I'll let you comment on compassion.
- 00:08:06.568 --> 00:08:08.870
- I think it's
- 00:08:08.870 --> 00:08:10.138
- Widely misunderstood for christ followers, for people of faith.
- 00:08:10.138 --> 00:08:13.174
- It's not an expression of compassion
- 00:08:13.174 --> 00:08:14.876
- To encourage people in ungodly behavior.
- 00:08:14.876 --> 00:08:17.278
- We're to love, but we are not to love promiscuously.
- 00:08:17.278 --> 00:08:22.016
- And that's a part of the problem is, is that love
- 00:08:22.016 --> 00:08:25.486
- Today is spread around like fertilizer.
- 00:08:25.486 --> 00:08:29.257
- It's it's, disseminated in
- 00:08:29.257 --> 00:08:32.093
- A completely nondiscriminatory fashion.
- 00:08:32.093 --> 00:08:37.065
- And the result is
- 00:08:37.065 --> 00:08:38.733
- We start loving things that we ought not to love.
- 00:08:38.733 --> 00:08:42.470
- Good.
- 00:08:42.470 --> 00:08:43.504
- And it becomes cruelty when a child is struggling
- 00:08:43.504 --> 00:08:47.875
- With identity.
- 00:08:47.875 --> 00:08:49.077
- The worst thing that we can do is feed the struggle.
- 00:08:49.077 --> 00:08:53.781
- Instead, what we do is we call them out to
- 00:08:53.781 --> 00:08:57.685
- Their legacy, to their destiny, to their purpose.
- 00:08:57.685 --> 00:09:00.722
- Their created purpose.
- 00:09:00.722 --> 00:09:02.457
- We call them to redemption in christ,
- 00:09:02.457 --> 00:09:05.593
- Which then resolves all of those identity questions.
- 00:09:05.593 --> 00:09:10.465
- Well, another thing that stood out globally
- 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.468
- Was the sick opening ceremony at the paris olympics,
- 00:09:13.468 --> 00:09:16.904
- Where the creative types in france
- 00:09:16.904 --> 00:09:18.806
- Decided it would be clever
- 00:09:18.806 --> 00:09:20.274
- And nice and artsy to stage a depiction of the last supper.
- 00:09:20.274 --> 00:09:24.112
- But they used drag queens.
- 00:09:24.112 --> 00:09:25.880
- The director said
- 00:09:25.880 --> 00:09:26.981
- He was trying to celebrate diversity and inclusion.
- 00:09:26.981 --> 00:09:29.517
- Most of my friends shut their televisions off.
- 00:09:29.517 --> 00:09:32.387
- What did you hear?
- 00:09:32.387 --> 00:09:33.988
- Well, one of the things that
- 00:09:33.988 --> 00:09:35.657
- They were attempting to do is to replay
- 00:09:35.657 --> 00:09:39.527
- The great festival of reason from 1794,
- 00:09:39.527 --> 00:09:44.098
- During the french revolution in paris.
- 00:09:44.098 --> 00:09:47.669
- So all of the scenes that that we saw,
- 00:09:47.669 --> 00:09:50.638
- The, the shadow running across the rooftops
- 00:09:50.638 --> 00:09:53.374
- In paris, the parade down of the river seine,
- 00:09:53.374 --> 00:09:56.577
- And then that grotesque depiction of the lord's supper,
- 00:09:56.577 --> 00:10:00.348
- All of that was actually staged
- 00:10:00.982 --> 00:10:03.818
- In 1794, in the festival of reason,
- 00:10:03.818 --> 00:10:07.221
- When notre-dame cathedral was renamed the temple of light.
- 00:10:07.221 --> 00:10:13.061
- So, in a sense, what the directors were doing
- 00:10:13.061 --> 00:10:16.297
- Was not just celebrating diversity and inclusion.
- 00:10:16.297 --> 00:10:20.001
- They were also calling for the bloodletting
- 00:10:20.001 --> 00:10:23.905
- Of the french revolution.
- 00:10:23.905 --> 00:10:26.140
- Unbelievable.
- 00:10:26.140 --> 00:10:27.108
- Well, pastor grant, i hope you'll just stay
- 00:10:27.108 --> 00:10:28.543
- With us for a moment while we take a break.
- 00:10:28.543 --> 00:10:30.611
- We've got a lot more to discuss.
- 00:10:30.611 --> 00:10:32.847
- I hope you'll all stay with us.
- 00:10:32.847 --> 00:10:34.148
- If you'd like to jump in with your thoughts
- 00:10:34.148 --> 00:10:35.817
- On this conversation, jot down an email.
- 00:10:35.817 --> 00:10:38.052
- You can send it to comments at aj now.com.
- 00:10:38.052 --> 00:10:41.155
- We'll be right back.
- 00:10:41.155 --> 00:10:47.992
- We'll be right back.
- 00:10:47.992 --> 00:10:50.365
- We're back now with pastor grant.
- 00:10:51.133 --> 00:10:53.602
- Let's pick up with something
- 00:10:53.602 --> 00:10:54.737
- That i touched on in the opening.
- 00:10:54.737 --> 00:10:56.505
- It's our schools and universities.
- 00:10:56.505 --> 00:10:58.173
- They have become a breeding grounds
- 00:10:58.173 --> 00:10:59.675
- For a really an anti biblical worldview.
- 00:10:59.675 --> 00:11:02.344
- You know, expensive schools where our children
- 00:11:02.344 --> 00:11:04.146
- Are being forced to listen to a whole lot of propaganda
- 00:11:04.146 --> 00:11:07.349
- About ideas.
- 00:11:07.349 --> 00:11:08.684
- I woke ideology, these places where teachers and school
- 00:11:08.684 --> 00:11:12.121
- Administrators are simply brainwashing our children.
- 00:11:12.121 --> 00:11:15.390
- Virginia's governor has said enough is enough.
- 00:11:15.390 --> 00:11:18.360
- Listen to what his opinion was.
- 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.963
- Diy is done at the university of virginia,
- 00:11:20.963 --> 00:11:24.333
- And today a group of very, very brave and,
- 00:11:24.333 --> 00:11:29.905
- Well minded trustees voted unanimously
- 00:11:29.905 --> 00:11:34.276
- To dissolve the office of die at the university of virginia.
- 00:11:34.276 --> 00:11:38.046
- We recently had to step down
- 00:11:38.046 --> 00:11:39.848
- And make sure that a couple of our universities
- 00:11:39.848 --> 00:11:42.151
- Did not have mandatory die classes.
- 00:11:42.151 --> 00:11:46.155
- This is all common sense.
- 00:11:46.155 --> 00:11:48.157
- Well, good for the governor to jump in,
- 00:11:48.991 --> 00:11:51.126
- But don't parents have to get more involved as well?
- 00:11:51.126 --> 00:11:54.029
- Parents have to get involved.
- 00:11:54.029 --> 00:11:55.330
- They have to understand that,
- 00:11:55.330 --> 00:11:57.633
- First of all, scripture
- 00:11:57.633 --> 00:11:58.567
- Gives parents the responsibility
- 00:11:58.567 --> 00:12:00.536
- For the education of their children.
- 00:12:00.536 --> 00:12:02.371
- Where to be?
- 00:12:02.371 --> 00:12:03.038
- The disciples
- 00:12:03.038 --> 00:12:04.139
- Were to be the ones to raise up the next generation.
- 00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:07.709
- We call in education experts
- 00:12:07.709 --> 00:12:10.779
- To, to help us in those areas where we don't have
- 00:12:10.779 --> 00:12:14.650
- Immediate skills, but we've not asked them to parent.
- 00:12:14.650 --> 00:12:17.986
- We've not asked them to socialize.
- 00:12:17.986 --> 00:12:20.255
- We've not asked them to change the worldviews
- 00:12:20.255 --> 00:12:23.025
- Of our children, but that's what they've attempted to do.
- 00:12:23.025 --> 00:12:26.428
- As a result, it's time for parents to step in
- 00:12:26.428 --> 00:12:30.432
- And to make their voices heard and not just shout and scream,
- 00:12:30.432 --> 00:12:35.938
- But to make certain that changes like,
- 00:12:35.938 --> 00:12:39.675
- What are the kinds of changes that we're seeing in florida
- 00:12:39.675 --> 00:12:43.445
- And virginia and a number of other places
- 00:12:43.445 --> 00:12:46.415
- That those changes are actually implemented.
- 00:12:46.415 --> 00:12:49.084
- Dei and inclusion and all diversity and all of the rest.
- 00:12:49.084 --> 00:12:53.722
- It's, it's down, but it's not out.
- 00:12:53.722 --> 00:12:56.758
- The advocates who are pushing this stuff, writing the books
- 00:12:56.758 --> 00:12:59.995
- And the curriculum, they're still tenured professors
- 00:12:59.995 --> 00:13:03.565
- In our universities, and they're going to push back.
- 00:13:03.565 --> 00:13:06.535
- They're waiting and biding their time.
- 00:13:06.535 --> 00:13:09.271
- So what we've got to do is we've got to get engaged.
- 00:13:09.271 --> 00:13:11.707
- We've got to get involved.
- 00:13:11.707 --> 00:13:13.075
- We've got to exercise our biblical mandate to be salt
- 00:13:13.075 --> 00:13:17.312
- And light in the midst of this poor fallen world.
- 00:13:17.312 --> 00:13:21.016
- Absolutely.
- 00:13:21.350 --> 00:13:22.284
- Well, i know you're aware of the struggle
- 00:13:22.284 --> 00:13:23.919
- That's going on in the pro-life community.
- 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.321
- Medical abortions
- 00:13:26.321 --> 00:13:27.322
- Have become more difficult to conduct
- 00:13:27.322 --> 00:13:29.024
- Given some of the changes at the state level.
- 00:13:29.024 --> 00:13:31.393
- But the abortion pills have not only become easier to buy,
- 00:13:31.393 --> 00:13:34.296
- But now
- 00:13:34.296 --> 00:13:35.497
- They're used in at least six out of every ten abortions.
- 00:13:35.497 --> 00:13:37.933
- So overall,
- 00:13:37.933 --> 00:13:39.101
- The number of abortions are up since the dobbs decision.
- 00:13:39.101 --> 00:13:42.004
- Even with more adoption and parenting centers,
- 00:13:42.004 --> 00:13:44.373
- And even with better medical care,
- 00:13:44.373 --> 00:13:45.807
- That can show the expectant mother
- 00:13:45.807 --> 00:13:47.209
- That new life inside of her.
- 00:13:47.209 --> 00:13:49.444
- So what do you think we can do to bring all these new lives
- 00:13:49.444 --> 00:13:52.714
- To term?
- 00:13:52.714 --> 00:13:53.682
- It's the battle is still very much with us.
- 00:13:53.682 --> 00:13:56.318
- Yeah, there are several things that we've got to do.
- 00:13:56.318 --> 00:13:59.221
- First of all, we've got to be
- 00:13:59.221 --> 00:14:00.689
- Supportive of our local crisis pregnancy centers.
- 00:14:00.689 --> 00:14:03.825
- Make sure that they
- 00:14:04.293 --> 00:14:05.360
- Have the resources and the staffing that they need.
- 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.230
- Churches need to get involved with local pro-life
- 00:14:08.230 --> 00:14:11.934
- Organizations.
- 00:14:11.934 --> 00:14:13.235
- Secondly, we need to hold the pharmaceutical industry
- 00:14:13.235 --> 00:14:17.406
- To account.
- 00:14:17.406 --> 00:14:18.573
- Are you 46?
- 00:14:18.573 --> 00:14:19.775
- The abortion drug is a dangerous drug.
- 00:14:19.775 --> 00:14:23.679
- It is not to be taken lightly.
- 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.615
- The number of, of deaths from our
- 00:14:26.615 --> 00:14:30.285
- You 46, the number of of, miscarriages,
- 00:14:30.285 --> 00:14:35.557
- For future pregnancies caused by the damaging
- 00:14:35.557 --> 00:14:39.695
- Of the uterine wall and a host of other, medical problems.
- 00:14:39.695 --> 00:14:44.700
- They are, completely underreported.
- 00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:48.603
- And they that certainly planned parenthood
- 00:14:48.603 --> 00:14:51.306
- And the other organizations that are pushing,
- 00:14:51.306 --> 00:14:54.042
- Chemical abortions aren't talking about the dangers.
- 00:14:54.042 --> 00:14:57.746
- So we have to
- 00:14:57.746 --> 00:14:59.348
- And then we have to hold the pharmaceutical companies,
- 00:14:59.348 --> 00:15:02.517
- To accounts and make certain
- 00:15:02.517 --> 00:15:05.187
- That medical care actually helps and doesn't hurt.
- 00:15:05.187 --> 00:15:09.791
- Makes sense.
- 00:15:10.125 --> 00:15:11.226
- Pastor grant, stay with us for one more segment.
- 00:15:11.226 --> 00:15:13.895
- We have a few more minutes and a couple more questions.
- 00:15:13.895 --> 00:15:16.164
- We'll be right back.
- 00:15:16.164 --> 00:15:22.995
- We'll be right back.
- 00:15:22.995 --> 00:15:25.743
- We're back now with george grant.
- 00:15:26.443 --> 00:15:28.912
- You know,
- 00:15:28.912 --> 00:15:29.813
- Finally, i'd like to get your thoughts on
- 00:15:29.813 --> 00:15:31.181
- One of the many tools that progressives
- 00:15:31.181 --> 00:15:33.117
- Have used to push back on christian,
- 00:15:33.117 --> 00:15:35.119
- Rather traditional values,
- 00:15:35.119 --> 00:15:36.887
- Using not just the legacy media, but now the courts.
- 00:15:36.887 --> 00:15:40.324
- Their numbers may be shrinking, but they've appointed
- 00:15:40.324 --> 00:15:42.826
- Many very liberal judges to positions around our country
- 00:15:42.826 --> 00:15:45.896
- To exercise what we've labeled now lawfare.
- 00:15:45.896 --> 00:15:49.233
- Of course, the supreme court
- 00:15:49.233 --> 00:15:50.367
- Makes the final decisions, but in the meantime,
- 00:15:50.367 --> 00:15:52.936
- These judges slow things down
- 00:15:52.936 --> 00:15:54.571
- Quite a bit as they try to stop a conservative agenda.
- 00:15:54.571 --> 00:15:57.975
- Now, can we address that tension that we're watching unfold
- 00:15:57.975 --> 00:16:00.611
- Across the culture?
- 00:16:00.611 --> 00:16:01.845
- What are the things
- 00:16:01.845 --> 00:16:02.713
- That the founding fathers had in mind?
- 00:16:02.713 --> 00:16:04.281
- Was checks and balances?
- 00:16:04.281 --> 00:16:07.017
- One of the
- 00:16:07.317 --> 00:16:08.318
- Things that has happened in the last, 75 years
- 00:16:08.318 --> 00:16:12.289
- Is that the courts have, tipped the balance in their favor
- 00:16:12.289 --> 00:16:17.094
- So that the executive branch and the legislative branch
- 00:16:17.094 --> 00:16:20.531
- Are often times hobbled by the judiciary.
- 00:16:20.531 --> 00:16:24.468
- And so one of the things that has to happen
- 00:16:24.468 --> 00:16:26.804
- Is that congress has to exercise their authority
- 00:16:26.804 --> 00:16:31.275
- To nullify decisions by these rogue judges.
- 00:16:31.275 --> 00:16:35.746
- And this is precisely, what has been introduced
- 00:16:35.746 --> 00:16:39.049
- Just yesterday into the us congress.
- 00:16:39.049 --> 00:16:42.286
- So what congress is suggesting is that individual rogue
- 00:16:42.286 --> 00:16:47.458
- Judges can not halt the,
- 00:16:47.458 --> 00:16:51.295
- The, judicial, proceedings
- 00:16:51.295 --> 00:16:54.765
- That may be taking place elsewhere in other courts.
- 00:16:54.765 --> 00:16:58.335
- And they can't interfere with federal programs
- 00:16:58.335 --> 00:17:02.906
- Where there is not initial standing.
- 00:17:02.906 --> 00:17:06.143
- In other words,
- 00:17:06.143 --> 00:17:07.177
- Some of these rogue judges are taking on cases
- 00:17:07.177 --> 00:17:09.513
- That they have nothing to do with.
- 00:17:09.513 --> 00:17:11.448
- There's been no lawsuit brought.
- 00:17:11.448 --> 00:17:14.084
- There has been no question brought there.
- 00:17:14.084 --> 00:17:16.120
- There aren't people who are involved in the cases.
- 00:17:16.120 --> 00:17:19.389
- So for instance,
- 00:17:19.389 --> 00:17:20.791
- Some of the deportations that we've seen recently,
- 00:17:20.791 --> 00:17:23.927
- Those have been suspended
- 00:17:24.495 --> 00:17:26.830
- By rogue judges who have no standing in the case.
- 00:17:26.830 --> 00:17:30.868
- So what congress is saying is you have to have standing,
- 00:17:30.868 --> 00:17:34.238
- Which, of course, is
- 00:17:34.238 --> 00:17:35.506
- Basic constitutional law, but they're making it
- 00:17:35.506 --> 00:17:38.375
- A congressional mandate at this point.
- 00:17:38.375 --> 00:17:40.878
- And that will then bring back into balance
- 00:17:40.878 --> 00:17:44.515
- The three branches of government.
- 00:17:44.515 --> 00:17:46.583
- We want separation of powers.
- 00:17:46.583 --> 00:17:48.852
- We want checks and balances, but we don't want any one
- 00:17:48.852 --> 00:17:53.123
- Of the three branches to have superiority over the other two.
- 00:17:53.123 --> 00:17:57.561
- Amen, amen.
- 00:17:57.895 --> 00:17:59.596
- I think ben franklin told the truth
- 00:17:59.596 --> 00:18:01.064
- When he said he'd given us a republic.
- 00:18:01.064 --> 00:18:02.533
- If we could keep. it, if we could keep. it.
- 00:18:02.533 --> 00:18:04.334
- It requires the attention of the people.
- 00:18:04.334 --> 00:18:06.036
- It does.
- 00:18:06.036 --> 00:18:06.603
- And it's.
- 00:18:06.603 --> 00:18:07.437
- It's a battle that doesn't stay won.
- 00:18:07.437 --> 00:18:10.440
- What we have to realize is that this is something
- 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:13.076
- That has to be fought for in every generation.
- 00:18:13.076 --> 00:18:16.847
- With every new administration, we have to stand firm,
- 00:18:16.847 --> 00:18:21.285
- So that our great experiment and liberty can live on
- 00:18:21.285 --> 00:18:24.922
- For our children and our grandchildren
- 00:18:24.922 --> 00:18:27.057
- And our great grandchildren.
- 00:18:27.057 --> 00:18:28.725
- Otherwise, it will disappear.
- 00:18:28.725 --> 00:18:32.062
- Absolutely.
- 00:18:32.062 --> 00:18:33.397

- And get your new book,
- 00:18:38.101 --> 00:18:39.336
- The last crusade, or, the untold story of christopher columbus.
- 00:18:39.336 --> 00:18:43.140

- It's been my voice.
- 00:18:45.676 --> 00:18:47.010
- Bless you, my brother.
- 00:18:47.010 --> 00:18:48.812
- In a moment, all sorts of good ideas from you
- 00:18:48.812 --> 00:18:51.915
- And about what we're doing and where we should go next.
- 00:18:51.915 --> 00:18:59.993
- And about what we're doing and where we should go next.
- 00:18:59.993 --> 00:19:02.493

- We always enjoy reading them.
- 00:19:06.598 --> 00:19:08.433
- Natalie, from pennsylvania, said,
- 00:19:08.433 --> 00:19:09.701

- 00:19:09.701 --> 00:19:12.470
- I look forward to reading it.
- 00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:13.738
- What's happening around us is just not normal.
- 00:19:13.738 --> 00:19:16.941
- Nellie, i couldn't agree more.
- 00:19:16.941 --> 00:19:18.176
- I don't think you can understand
- 00:19:18.176 --> 00:19:19.277
- What's happening in our world right now.
- 00:19:19.277 --> 00:19:21.145
- Until you acknowledge that there are spiritual forces
- 00:19:21.145 --> 00:19:23.548
- That influence and impact our lives.
- 00:19:23.548 --> 00:19:25.850

- Enough for the truthful reporting and instruction.

- I watch a record daily, all your programs and pastoring shows.
- 00:19:32.924 --> 00:19:36.594
- For a while there
- 00:19:36.594 --> 00:19:37.829
- I was so disheartened and felt disconnected from the church.
- 00:19:37.829 --> 00:19:40.632
- God bless you.
- 00:19:40.632 --> 00:19:42.200
- There are reasons for hope and courage.
- 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:44.235
- I promise you god is still alive and well at work in the earth,
- 00:19:44.235 --> 00:19:47.872
- And he's called us to this unique season.
- 00:19:47.872 --> 00:19:50.675
- In fact, we are building a community
- 00:19:50.675 --> 00:19:52.477
- Of people in pursuit of the truth.
- 00:19:52.477 --> 00:19:54.612
- And in this time in our nation,
- 00:19:54.612 --> 00:19:56.581
