Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Culture & Christianity Conference 2025 (Part 4)| Allen Jackson Now | October 24, 2025
- Christian nationalism.
- 00:00:04.429 --> 00:00:06.798
- The left labels you and the church
- 00:00:06.798 --> 00:00:08.900
- Feels like a cheap suit, and so you can't combine the two.
- 00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:12.537
- I'm a christian husband.
- 00:00:13.071 --> 00:00:15.006
- I can love two things at the same time.
- 00:00:15.006 --> 00:00:17.275
- I can love god and my wife.
- 00:00:17.275 --> 00:00:18.643
- I can love god and my country.
- 00:00:18.643 --> 00:00:21.313
- Paul was a christian national and he he invoked
- 00:00:21.313 --> 00:00:24.382
- The laws of rome and the rights of a roman citizen.
- 00:00:24.382 --> 00:00:28.920
- He knew his country better than we know our own.
- 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.057
- And if you want to talk about a theocracy, there's over 50
- 00:00:32.057 --> 00:00:35.494
- Nations worldwide that have a majority muslim population,
- 00:00:35.494 --> 00:00:40.332
- And 17 of them do not allow the bible
- 00:00:40.332 --> 00:00:43.768
- To be publicly read, forbidden.
- 00:00:43.768 --> 00:00:47.105
- Some of those are over 95% muslim.
- 00:00:47.105 --> 00:00:50.675
- In america, we have the freedom of religion.
- 00:00:50.675 --> 00:00:52.978
- It's not a theocracy.
- 00:00:52.978 --> 00:00:54.646
- They use that term because they they took
- 00:00:54.646 --> 00:00:57.849
- They took the first 16 words of, of the, of the bill of rights,
- 00:00:57.849 --> 00:01:03.188
- Of the first amendment and for over 200 years
- 00:01:03.188 --> 00:01:06.858
- It was clearly understood that it was the freedom of religion.
- 00:01:06.858 --> 00:01:11.496
- But then they called it the separation clause,
- 00:01:11.496 --> 00:01:14.666
- And they used an obscure document of the letter
- 00:01:14.666 --> 00:01:17.936
- That jefferson wrote to the danbury baptist convention,
- 00:01:17.936 --> 00:01:21.306
- Where he said, an invisible wall of separation,
- 00:01:21.306 --> 00:01:23.808
- Which in context, when you read the letter, is a complete
- 00:01:23.808 --> 00:01:26.011
- Opposite of what the ruling was by the supreme court.
- 00:01:26.011 --> 00:01:29.347
- And now it became not freedom of religion, but freedom
- 00:01:29.347 --> 00:01:32.017
- From religion, which ushered in secular progressivism in islam.
- 00:01:32.017 --> 00:01:37.589
- And this is what charlie was taking on
- 00:01:37.589 --> 00:01:39.257
- Just before god brought him home.
- 00:01:39.257 --> 00:01:42.327
- Islam is a political structure disguised as a religion,
- 00:01:42.327 --> 00:01:46.298
- And secular progressivism is a religion
- 00:01:47.165 --> 00:01:49.568
- Disguised as a political movement.
- 00:01:49.568 --> 00:01:51.102
- It's called the red green revolution.
- 00:01:51.102 --> 00:01:53.138
- They come in and they destroy the morality
- 00:01:53.138 --> 00:01:55.273
- Of a christian nation through secular progressivism.
- 00:01:55.273 --> 00:01:57.776
- And then islam comes in and consumes it.
- 00:01:57.776 --> 00:02:01.780
- And when you see gays for for palestine,
- 00:02:01.780 --> 00:02:06.017
- They are useful idiots.
- 00:02:06.518 --> 00:02:10.188
- That's what we're up against.
- 00:02:10.822 --> 00:02:12.657
- And unless we understand that this nation of the people,
- 00:02:12.657 --> 00:02:15.460
- By the people and for the people,
- 00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:16.628
- The freedom of religion, not from it's not a theocracy,
- 00:02:16.628 --> 00:02:20.465
- But as christians we are to contend.
- 00:02:20.465 --> 00:02:23.501
- And sharia law is antithetical to our declaration
- 00:02:23.501 --> 00:02:27.005
- Of independence because it demands adherence.
- 00:02:27.005 --> 00:02:29.107
- We allow the freedom of religion they demand, or else you die.
- 00:02:29.107 --> 00:02:33.178
- And this is what we're fighting for.
- 00:02:33.945 --> 00:02:35.580
- Unless we wake up and the in the congregations are educated.
- 00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:39.985
- Every nation like like london stand now
- 00:02:39.985 --> 00:02:43.555
- And france is now 9% muslim.
- 00:02:43.555 --> 00:02:45.890
- It's about to roll.
- 00:02:45.890 --> 00:02:47.792
- This this is an invasion like we've never seen.
- 00:02:47.792 --> 00:02:50.962
- And unless we wake up,
- 00:02:50.962 --> 00:02:52.397
- What do you see in your children's future?
- 00:02:52.397 --> 00:02:54.766
- Just look at your kids and say, you know what?
- 00:02:54.766 --> 00:02:57.068
- I don't do politics.
- 00:02:57.068 --> 00:02:58.036
- I don't care about your generation.
- 00:02:58.036 --> 00:02:59.571
- Just look at em and hand them nothing.
- 00:02:59.571 --> 00:03:02.607
- Even though you received everything.
- 00:03:02.607 --> 00:03:04.442
- You can't do that.
- 00:03:04.442 --> 00:03:06.077
- And for all of you who?
- 00:03:06.077 --> 00:03:08.747
- Churchill said
- 00:03:08.747 --> 00:03:10.215
- The man was cursed
- 00:03:10.649 --> 00:03:12.150
- To have been born in uninteresting times.
- 00:03:12.150 --> 00:03:15.220
- That's not true for us.
- 00:03:15.720 --> 00:03:17.355
- We've been appointed for such a time
- 00:03:17.355 --> 00:03:18.623
- And says everything in our dna.
- 00:03:18.623 --> 00:03:20.592
- God has assigned each of us to stand in this moment
- 00:03:20.592 --> 00:03:23.895
- And hold back the gates of hell,
- 00:03:23.895 --> 00:03:25.697
- And push him back, in jesus name.
- 00:03:25.697 --> 00:03:27.499
- Amen.
- 00:03:27.499 --> 00:03:34.673
- John,
- 00:03:34.906 --> 00:03:36.007
- You've gone and talked to school boards in 22 states.
- 00:03:36.007 --> 00:03:40.011
- You're so judgy and.
- 00:03:40.478 --> 00:03:44.783
- And i'm pretty sure you're
- 00:03:45.350 --> 00:03:46.318
- A christian nationalist, too.
- 00:03:46.318 --> 00:03:49.554
- And to be honest, i'm embarrassed.
- 00:03:50.322 --> 00:03:53.091
- No, no, i mean this.
- 00:03:53.091 --> 00:03:54.326
- I'm embarrassed
- 00:03:54.326 --> 00:03:55.226
- That the godly men in those communities
- 00:03:55.226 --> 00:03:57.128
- Haven't been dominating on
- 00:03:57.128 --> 00:03:58.396
- School boards long before john got there.
- 00:03:58.396 --> 00:04:07.005
- They should know
- 00:04:07.405 --> 00:04:09.140
- You're going to stand up for your children.
- 00:04:09.140 --> 00:04:12.243
- What has happened to us?
- 00:04:12.243 --> 00:04:14.646
- But tell us what you've learned. what you.
- 00:04:14.646 --> 00:04:16.348
- What's your takeaway?
- 00:04:16.348 --> 00:04:18.216
- Well,
- 00:04:18.450 --> 00:04:19.517
- As it relates to going to the school board meetings
- 00:04:19.517 --> 00:04:21.953
- And addressing the issues, the hot button issues
- 00:04:21.953 --> 00:04:27.158
- That are being pushed upon our children that many parents
- 00:04:27.158 --> 00:04:30.462
- Unearthed during the pandemic.
- 00:04:30.462 --> 00:04:32.931
- You know, learning about jody having to mommies
- 00:04:32.931 --> 00:04:36.935
- And sarah having two mommies, and tom having two daddies
- 00:04:36.935 --> 00:04:41.172
- And all of the woke crt stuff.
- 00:04:41.172 --> 00:04:45.410
- Racial consciousness stuff.
- 00:04:45.410 --> 00:04:48.113
- There are three takeaways that i have as i've traveled
- 00:04:48.113 --> 00:04:51.483
- The country.
- 00:04:51.483 --> 00:04:52.016
- Number one,
- 00:04:52.016 --> 00:04:53.351
- Perverts are perverting
- 00:04:53.351 --> 00:04:54.586
- The hearts and the minds of our children.
- 00:04:54.586 --> 00:04:57.489
- We have to call these individuals what they are.
- 00:04:57.489 --> 00:05:00.859
- It is perverted
- 00:05:00.859 --> 00:05:03.895
- To take pornographic content
- 00:05:03.895 --> 00:05:06.564
- And set it at the fingertips of children.
- 00:05:06.564 --> 00:05:11.336
- It's.
- 00:05:11.569 --> 00:05:17.475
- In addition, it's not only perverted,
- 00:05:18.309 --> 00:05:20.412
- Some people call it indoctrination.
- 00:05:20.412 --> 00:05:22.580
- Some people call it grooming.
- 00:05:22.580 --> 00:05:24.582
- But i call it mental rape
- 00:05:24.582 --> 00:05:26.484
- Because it assaults the soul.
- 00:05:27.118 --> 00:05:28.686
- It stains the brain and it robs children of their innocence.
- 00:05:28.686 --> 00:05:32.657
- They are forcibly
- 00:05:33.091 --> 00:05:35.527
- Shoving.
- 00:05:35.527 --> 00:05:38.563
- Sex down their throat,
- 00:05:39.030 --> 00:05:41.833
- Making them the customers for planned parenthood.
- 00:05:41.833 --> 00:05:46.004
- And keep in mind, planned parenthood provides
- 00:05:46.004 --> 00:05:49.073
- The majority of sex ed curriculum
- 00:05:49.073 --> 00:05:51.976
- And the public school system in america.
- 00:05:51.976 --> 00:05:54.979
- And so they are working hand and fist perverts are perverted
- 00:05:54.979 --> 00:05:59.284
- In the hearts and minds of our children.
- 00:05:59.284 --> 00:06:00.819
- Number two, parents are unaware.
- 00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:04.088
- They shouldn't be unaware.
- 00:06:04.088 --> 00:06:07.225
- Train up a child in the way he should go.
- 00:06:07.225 --> 00:06:08.827
- And when he's old, he will not depart.
- 00:06:08.827 --> 00:06:12.263
- And so parents should be allowed in
- 00:06:12.263 --> 00:06:15.166
- On what their child is being taught.
- 00:06:15.166 --> 00:06:18.937
- You can't send your child off to babylon.
- 00:06:18.937 --> 00:06:22.006
- Yeah, and i'd expect them to come back as a babylonian.
- 00:06:22.006 --> 00:06:25.610
- Yeah.
- 00:06:25.844 --> 00:06:26.678
- Rejecting your biblical worldview.
- 00:06:26.678 --> 00:06:30.081
- You can't do it.
- 00:06:30.482 --> 00:06:32.317
- And then lastly, pastors
- 00:06:32.317 --> 00:06:34.919
- Have failed to do their job.
- 00:06:34.919 --> 00:06:41.459
- Pastors.
- 00:06:41.726 --> 00:06:43.361
- Come on, pastors
- 00:06:43.361 --> 00:06:46.331
- See weak pulpits
- 00:06:46.331 --> 00:06:49.601
- Create weak christians.
- 00:06:49.601 --> 00:06:56.441
- How is it that, you know, i.
- 00:06:57.041 --> 00:06:59.611
- I go into different cities and states and
- 00:06:59.611 --> 00:07:03.181
- I try to work with pastors
- 00:07:03.181 --> 00:07:06.017
- And not all pastors, but some
- 00:07:06.017 --> 00:07:09.721
- Too many.
- 00:07:10.021 --> 00:07:10.655
- You're right, pastor.
- 00:07:10.655 --> 00:07:12.690
- And when they get to the school board meeting,
- 00:07:12.690 --> 00:07:14.926
- Many of them won't even read
- 00:07:14.926 --> 00:07:18.263
- The book verbatim
- 00:07:18.696 --> 00:07:21.599
- Because they're too squeamish to read
- 00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:25.770
- What a four year old might have to read
- 00:07:25.770 --> 00:07:28.907
- In a library.
- 00:07:29.274 --> 00:07:31.910
- Pastors.
- 00:07:31.910 --> 00:07:34.212
- And so i assemble them and tell them to join me.
- 00:07:34.212 --> 00:07:36.681
- And hey, i give you the books, what you should read,
- 00:07:36.681 --> 00:07:38.883
- And you get there
- 00:07:38.883 --> 00:07:40.151
- And they summarize, or they won't even open the book
- 00:07:40.151 --> 00:07:43.288
- And read the book to shove it down their throats.
- 00:07:43.288 --> 00:07:47.325
- See, the
- 00:07:47.592 --> 00:07:48.726
- Only way for us to fight gender theory and queer theory
- 00:07:48.726 --> 00:07:52.697
- Is that we have to expose how hideous it is
- 00:07:52.697 --> 00:07:57.769
- We people have to see it.
- 00:07:58.336 --> 00:08:03.575
- A great deal of my success has been
- 00:08:04.342 --> 00:08:06.578
- Just opening the book and reading what the book says.
- 00:08:06.578 --> 00:08:11.215
- You know, i have a book right here.
- 00:08:11.215 --> 00:08:13.084
- You know what?
- 00:08:13.084 --> 00:08:14.786
- I travel the country with,
- 00:08:14.786 --> 00:08:21.192
- With books.
- 00:08:21.526 --> 00:08:23.294
- I tell your story.
- 00:08:23.294 --> 00:08:24.562
- You go through tsa and you have some of these books
- 00:08:24.562 --> 00:08:26.698
- In your in your, in your bag, and they check your bag.
- 00:08:26.698 --> 00:08:30.068
- I'm like, all right.
- 00:08:30.068 --> 00:08:31.636
- I'm an alpha male.
- 00:08:31.636 --> 00:08:33.638
- I'm straight.
- 00:08:33.638 --> 00:08:36.341
- I'm going to a school board meeting.
- 00:08:36.341 --> 00:08:38.009
- Right.
- 00:08:38.009 --> 00:08:39.243
- I try to tell them quickly, because they see all of the many
- 00:08:39.243 --> 00:08:41.079
- Books that i have best gear.
- 00:08:41.079 --> 00:08:45.483
- But this book is
- 00:08:45.883 --> 00:08:46.618
- Entitled worm loves worm,
- 00:08:46.618 --> 00:08:49.687
- Right?
- 00:08:49.887 --> 00:08:50.955
- And it says.
- 00:08:50.955 --> 00:08:53.057
- But which one of you is the bride?
- 00:08:53.057 --> 00:08:54.926
- Ask the bees.
- 00:08:54.926 --> 00:08:55.927
- How can we be?
- 00:08:55.927 --> 00:08:56.928
- How can we be brides, bees if we don't know who
- 00:08:56.928 --> 00:09:00.198
- The bride is?
- 00:09:00.198 --> 00:09:01.666
- And then it says, i can be the bride, says worm.
- 00:09:01.666 --> 00:09:05.370
- I can two, says worm.
- 00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:09.540
- And so what this is pushing upon children is same sex marriage.
- 00:09:09.540 --> 00:09:13.444
- This is made available for kids
- 00:09:14.078 --> 00:09:15.813
- Ages four and up.
- 00:09:15.813 --> 00:09:19.083
- So both worms can be the bride.
- 00:09:19.083 --> 00:09:22.954
- Then it says, but one of you has got to be the groom.
- 00:09:22.954 --> 00:09:26.824
- Or how can i be best?
- 00:09:26.824 --> 00:09:28.426
- Beetle asks beetle.
- 00:09:28.426 --> 00:09:31.829
- I can be the groom, says worm.
- 00:09:31.829 --> 00:09:34.532
- I can two says worm.
- 00:09:34.532 --> 00:09:37.035
- We can be both.
- 00:09:37.035 --> 00:09:40.438
- Amazing, says spider.
- 00:09:40.938 --> 00:09:42.540
- Really?
- 00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:43.875
- Asks beetle.
- 00:09:43.875 --> 00:09:45.276
- And the bees wait, says cricket.
- 00:09:45.276 --> 00:09:49.847
- That isn't how it's always been done.
- 00:09:49.847 --> 00:09:52.583
- Now keep in mind, in this book, the cricket is the preacher.
- 00:09:52.583 --> 00:09:57.789
- Cricket.
- 00:09:58.056 --> 00:09:58.690
- The cricket preacher.
- 00:09:58.690 --> 00:10:00.958
- All right.
- 00:10:00.958 --> 00:10:02.060
- Then it says.
- 00:10:02.060 --> 00:10:03.161
- Then we'll just change how it's done, says worm.
- 00:10:03.161 --> 00:10:09.600
- Yes, says worm.
- 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.336
- Story time with pastor john.
- 00:10:12.336 --> 00:10:13.838
- Right.
- 00:10:13.838 --> 00:10:15.807
- And so they were married.
- 00:10:15.807 --> 00:10:18.209
- Because worm loves worm.
- 00:10:18.209 --> 00:10:23.715
- How can we allow barack obama
- 00:10:24.348 --> 00:10:28.219
- To be more, more vocal in what
- 00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:31.889
- He deemed marriage to be
- 00:10:31.889 --> 00:10:35.626
- Than what the bible has explicitly called it
- 00:10:35.626 --> 00:10:39.430
- To be?
- 00:10:39.430 --> 00:10:50.005
- To be?
- 00:10:50.005 --> 00:10:54.050
- Barack hussein obama will go down in history
- 00:10:54.951 --> 00:10:57.787
- As one of the most divisive presidents
- 00:10:57.787 --> 00:11:02.191
- Ever.
- 00:11:02.425 --> 00:11:05.795
- He divided us on the issues of race,
- 00:11:05.795 --> 00:11:09.966
- Divided us on the issues of sex, decorated the white house
- 00:11:09.966 --> 00:11:13.569
- And rainbow colors.
- 00:11:13.569 --> 00:11:14.871
- They used to be a time where people said, hey,
- 00:11:14.871 --> 00:11:17.740
- What i do in my bedroom is my business,
- 00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:20.076
- And that's none of your business. and that's true.
- 00:11:20.076 --> 00:11:22.245
- What you do in your bedroom is your business.
- 00:11:23.112 --> 00:11:25.915
- Now, i don't advise you to do certain things.
- 00:11:25.915 --> 00:11:29.352
- We don't talk about it enough. but
- 00:11:30.086 --> 00:11:32.889
- Homosexual sex takes nearly 20 to 25 years
- 00:11:32.889 --> 00:11:36.592
- Off of a male's life span.
- 00:11:36.592 --> 00:11:40.463
- So the most loving thing that we can do
- 00:11:41.264 --> 00:11:43.699
- Is tell a child about god's design for sex.
- 00:11:43.699 --> 00:11:48.237
- The truth of it.
- 00:11:48.638 --> 00:11:50.606
- But we went from doing what you want to do in your bedroom,
- 00:11:50.606 --> 00:11:53.810
- And that's your business, to then having
- 00:11:53.810 --> 00:11:56.846
- The white house decorated in rainbow colors and
- 00:11:56.846 --> 00:12:00.449
- Having this content in the public school system
- 00:12:00.449 --> 00:12:02.919
- They're ordered, is have to go to school
- 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.787
- And use locker rooms and bathrooms
- 00:12:04.787 --> 00:12:08.357
- Where guys who might wake up in the morning and say,
- 00:12:08.357 --> 00:12:10.793
- Do they want to be a man or woman
- 00:12:10.793 --> 00:12:14.897
- Changing their sex
- 00:12:15.331 --> 00:12:17.466
- As a social construct?
- 00:12:17.466 --> 00:12:20.503
- That's where we are.
- 00:12:20.503 --> 00:12:22.972
- And you'll be hard pressed to find pastors like these.
- 00:12:22.972 --> 00:12:25.741
- Give these men a big hand clap.
- 00:12:25.741 --> 00:12:28.010
- Give them a big hand for that.
- 00:12:28.010 --> 00:12:29.212
- Really? like, seriously?
- 00:12:29.212 --> 00:12:31.147
- Salute and celebrate
- 00:12:31.147 --> 00:12:33.749
- Women leadership.
- 00:12:33.749 --> 00:12:36.986
- Proud
- 00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:39.222
- Masculinity.
- 00:12:39.222 --> 00:12:42.425
- Men who are not afraid
- 00:12:42.425 --> 00:12:43.926
- To be protectors.
- 00:12:43.926 --> 00:12:46.929
- Protectors.
- 00:12:46.929 --> 00:12:49.165
- Can i get someone to shout protectors.
- 00:12:49.165 --> 00:12:52.835
- Protectors.
- 00:12:53.169 --> 00:12:55.538
- Protect tours.
- 00:12:55.538 --> 00:12:59.442
- That's their own.
- 00:12:59.876 --> 00:13:01.043
- That's the role of the man,
- 00:13:01.043 --> 00:13:03.746
- That's right.
- 00:13:03.746 --> 00:13:06.215
- For the protectors.
- 00:13:06.215 --> 00:13:07.316
- For the pastors out there
- 00:13:07.316 --> 00:13:09.719
- Who have a misunderstanding of this idea
- 00:13:09.719 --> 00:13:12.154
- Of separation of church and state and,
- 00:13:12.154 --> 00:13:15.558
- And you think you can't do this because there's a separation
- 00:13:15.558 --> 00:13:18.427
- Of church and state.
- 00:13:18.427 --> 00:13:19.395
- First of all, you don't know your history.
- 00:13:19.395 --> 00:13:21.197
- But but let me just reverse it.
- 00:13:21.197 --> 00:13:24.400
- Let's just look at this way.
- 00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:26.068
- The states now invaded the church.
- 00:13:26.068 --> 00:13:27.536
- What are you going to do, pastor?
- 00:13:27.536 --> 00:13:29.238
- It's redefine marriage. what are you going to do, pastor?
- 00:13:29.238 --> 00:13:31.774
- It's redefine sexuality.
- 00:13:32.308 --> 00:13:33.442
- What are you going to do, pastor?
- 00:13:33.442 --> 00:13:36.078
- They're taking over your kids.
- 00:13:36.078 --> 00:13:37.146
- What are you going to do, pastor? come on, come on.
- 00:13:37.146 --> 00:13:39.749
- I mean, i'll take your your position.
- 00:13:39.749 --> 00:13:43.219
- And when it says pray for kings and those in authority
- 00:13:43.219 --> 00:13:45.421
- With peaceful lives and all godliness and reverence get.
- 00:13:45.421 --> 00:13:48.357
- Can i ask you the names of your school board members
- 00:13:48.357 --> 00:13:50.493
- And your council members that you pray for by name?
- 00:13:50.493 --> 00:13:53.129
- According to that pastoral epistle
- 00:13:53.129 --> 00:13:54.697
- And the issues you're dealing with that
- 00:13:54.697 --> 00:13:56.098
- Allow your community to live quiet and peaceable
- 00:13:56.098 --> 00:13:57.900
- Lives in all godliness and reverence.
- 00:13:57.900 --> 00:14:00.102
- You can hear a pin drop when you ask that, well,
- 00:14:00.102 --> 00:14:03.506
- That's all i have to say.
- 00:14:04.073 --> 00:14:09.378
- Jerry, you said something
- 00:14:09.946 --> 00:14:11.847
- That i think is at the heart of this conversation.
- 00:14:11.847 --> 00:14:13.950
- You said there's two restraints to evil.
- 00:14:13.950 --> 00:14:16.018
- The holy spirit and the church.
- 00:14:16.652 --> 00:14:18.387
- Right? come on.
- 00:14:18.387 --> 00:14:19.622
- And it's it's easy to tag some of these
- 00:14:19.622 --> 00:14:22.892
- Big cultural issues that we get applause for.
- 00:14:22.892 --> 00:14:26.629
- But as a pastor, to me, it's much thinner ice.
- 00:14:27.530 --> 00:14:31.200
- This really starts at our kitchen tables right?
- 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.737
- And to invite the spirit of god into our homes
- 00:14:35.638 --> 00:14:38.040
- And our families, one of my annoyances is we give
- 00:14:38.040 --> 00:14:41.077
- Children's coaches.
- 00:14:41.077 --> 00:14:44.180
- For five years old and seven years old
- 00:14:45.014 --> 00:14:47.416
- And ten years old, they
- 00:14:47.416 --> 00:14:48.718
- They watch too many professional sports,
- 00:14:48.718 --> 00:14:51.754
- And they're going to turn six year olds into something.
- 00:14:51.754 --> 00:14:54.824
- We give them more authority in our home
- 00:14:55.691 --> 00:14:57.526
- Than the youth ministers in our churches.
- 00:14:57.526 --> 00:15:01.964
- So you are.
- 00:15:02.298 --> 00:15:05.334
- You have some experience
- 00:15:05.868 --> 00:15:07.703
- In pastoring.
- 00:15:07.703 --> 00:15:10.406
- How what does it look like in practical terms
- 00:15:10.406 --> 00:15:12.808
- For the church and our families
- 00:15:12.808 --> 00:15:15.177
- To cooperate with the spirit of god,
- 00:15:15.945 --> 00:15:18.881
- To see evil restrained?
- 00:15:18.881 --> 00:15:20.082
- I'm tired of losing 3000 children a day.
- 00:15:20.082 --> 00:15:24.153
- I'm tired of universities becoming indoctrination centers
- 00:15:24.153 --> 00:15:27.123
- And i'm tired of worms
- 00:15:27.123 --> 00:15:29.425
- Being in the libraries of our small children.
- 00:15:29.425 --> 00:15:33.029
- So you introduced that idea.
- 00:15:33.029 --> 00:15:35.498
- I thought so eloquently talk about that.
- 00:15:35.498 --> 00:15:37.566
- Just a moment.
- 00:15:37.566 --> 00:15:39.635
- So, you know that old saying, the family,
- 00:15:39.635 --> 00:15:42.038
- The priest together stays together?
- 00:15:42.038 --> 00:15:44.073
- I think it's important that around the kitchen table,
- 00:15:44.073 --> 00:15:47.009
- We get back to influencing our children with the gospel
- 00:15:47.009 --> 00:15:52.348
- At home, instead of expecting everybody else to do it.
- 00:15:52.348 --> 00:15:55.985
- It starts with
- 00:15:55.985 --> 00:15:57.653
- If there's a dad in the home, it starts with dad
- 00:15:57.653 --> 00:15:59.989
- As the spiritual leader.
- 00:15:59.989 --> 00:16:02.291
- But to my wife's credit, you know, speaking as a pastor.
- 00:16:02.291 --> 00:16:06.228
- So i'm just going to let you in on a little bit of information.
- 00:16:06.228 --> 00:16:08.697
- Sometimes when i come home after having, you know,
- 00:16:08.697 --> 00:16:11.801
- Ministered to a bunch of people, like,
- 00:16:11.801 --> 00:16:14.036
- I'm kind of done, you know, what i'm saying to you? what?
- 00:16:14.036 --> 00:16:16.272
- You may not know what i'm saying.
- 00:16:16.272 --> 00:16:17.440
- You these, you know what i'm saying to you guys. okay.
- 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.542
- And my wife, bless her heart, when our kids are growing up,
- 00:16:20.743 --> 00:16:23.479
- My son, my adult son austin is here is on staff with me now.
- 00:16:23.479 --> 00:16:26.649
- And we have three kids.
- 00:16:26.649 --> 00:16:28.050
- And she would take the initiative at dinner time
- 00:16:28.050 --> 00:16:31.487
- To open up the bible.
- 00:16:31.487 --> 00:16:32.788
- And we are going to memorize a verse at dinner time.
- 00:16:32.788 --> 00:16:36.959
- And you know, as your kids are at a certain age,
- 00:16:36.959 --> 00:16:39.795
- You can only do so much.
- 00:16:39.795 --> 00:16:41.497
- They their attention span is limited.
- 00:16:41.497 --> 00:16:44.033
- But my point is, do all you can to live out
- 00:16:44.033 --> 00:16:47.603
- Your faith in the home so that it's palpable.
- 00:16:47.603 --> 00:16:50.372
- So that so that by by the influence of your lives,
- 00:16:50.372 --> 00:16:54.743
- That you are consistently at home
- 00:16:54.743 --> 00:16:56.745
- The way you are in public, and vice versa,
- 00:16:56.745 --> 00:16:59.748
- That your children will be influenced for the glory of god,
- 00:16:59.748 --> 00:17:02.952
- For that next generation
- 00:17:02.952 --> 00:17:04.653
- We have, we have to be living out our faith at home.
- 00:17:04.653 --> 00:17:08.591
- That's where it starts.
- 00:17:08.591 --> 00:17:10.326
- And if our kids are not seeing it,
- 00:17:10.326 --> 00:17:13.229
- Then they're going to learn whatever the greatest influence
- 00:17:13.229 --> 00:17:16.799
- Is in their lives.
- 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:17.967
- They're going to learn from whatever
- 00:17:17.967 --> 00:17:19.201
- That greatest influences, whether it's their phones,
- 00:17:19.201 --> 00:17:22.071
- Whether it's some coach, some teachers, their peers.
- 00:17:22.071 --> 00:17:26.342
- Like we have to be presenting the greatest influence
- 00:17:26.342 --> 00:17:29.845
- To have the greatest impact on our families.
- 00:17:29.845 --> 00:17:32.615
- If we expect to see this next
- 00:17:32.615 --> 00:17:34.250
- Generation really living out their faith.
- 00:17:34.250 --> 00:17:36.118
- So it does begin in the home.
- 00:17:36.118 --> 00:17:47.012
- So it does begin in the home.
- 00:17:47.012 --> 00:17:51.607
- So, a lot of you know, my son mike is chief of staff
- 00:17:52.642 --> 00:17:55.945
- For charlie and now serving erica, he's 23.
- 00:17:55.945 --> 00:17:59.182
- And when covid came to california
- 00:17:59.882 --> 00:18:02.251
- And governor newsline,
- 00:18:02.251 --> 00:18:03.319
- He said that the church was nonessential.
- 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.156
- He said strip clubs were essential cannabis
- 00:18:07.156 --> 00:18:09.258
- Distributors, liquor stores, abortion clinics were essential.
- 00:18:09.258 --> 00:18:11.294
- But the church, the bride of christ, was nonessential.
- 00:18:11.294 --> 00:18:13.262
- And charlie made the worst prediction
- 00:18:13.262 --> 00:18:14.730
- In radio history
- 00:18:14.730 --> 00:18:16.098
- When he said, the church in california
- 00:18:16.098 --> 00:18:17.500
- Is not going to take that laying down.
- 00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:18.834
- And it folded again like a cheap suit.
- 00:18:18.834 --> 00:18:21.170
- Jack hibbs stood myself,
- 00:18:21.170 --> 00:18:22.805
- Tim thompson, a number of other guys.
- 00:18:22.805 --> 00:18:24.574
- But the lion's share of the churches folded.
- 00:18:24.574 --> 00:18:27.109
- John macarthur stood. lion.
- 00:18:27.109 --> 00:18:29.278
- Yeah, he was patton.
- 00:18:29.278 --> 00:18:35.685
- And and
- 00:18:35.918 --> 00:18:37.520
- When when i was preparing to violate the restraining order,
- 00:18:37.520 --> 00:18:41.224
- By the government because we had kept the church over open,
- 00:18:41.224 --> 00:18:44.627
- I called my attorney and i said, you know,
- 00:18:44.627 --> 00:18:47.597
- I know you can't counsel me to violate the law
- 00:18:47.597 --> 00:18:49.665
- Or lose his license, but i said, can you tell me what i lose
- 00:18:49.665 --> 00:18:52.902
- If i keep the doors open?
- 00:18:52.902 --> 00:18:54.170
- And, this, you know, disobeyed the restraining order,
- 00:18:54.170 --> 00:18:57.540
- And it was a legal pad and a half a page
- 00:18:57.540 --> 00:19:00.243
- And a half of consequences.
- 00:19:00.243 --> 00:19:01.544
- I'd lose a church, lose my house.
- 00:19:01.544 --> 00:19:03.512
- My son will lose his nctc scholarship.
- 00:19:03.512 --> 00:19:05.281
- I mean, it was severe consequences.
- 00:19:05.281 --> 00:19:07.950
- And and i said, i'll call you back.
- 00:19:07.950 --> 00:19:10.052
- And i called my wife, and i said, honey,
- 00:19:10.052 --> 00:19:11.554
- I am planning on violating a restraining order tomorrow,
- 00:19:11.554 --> 00:19:14.357
- But i don't want to do it without you.
- 00:19:14.357 --> 00:19:15.658
- And i read everything on that list.
- 00:19:15.658 --> 00:19:17.793
- And my kids were present at the time.
- 00:19:17.793 --> 00:19:19.862
- Mikey, too.
- 00:19:19.862 --> 00:19:20.830
- And my wife, i'll never forget what she said.
- 00:19:20.830 --> 00:19:22.231
- And invoking richard worm brand, he said, you know,
- 00:19:22.231 --> 00:19:26.369
- His wife said to him, i'd rather be a widow
- 00:19:26.369 --> 00:19:28.170
- Than be married to a coward.
- 00:19:28.170 --> 00:19:29.972
- And i looked at him like, you're hot.
- 00:19:29.972 --> 00:19:32.742
- You know, i just you're amazing.
- 00:19:32.742 --> 00:19:36.712
- And i had i had
- 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:38.948
- Told stories and i did that children's book out there.
- 00:19:38.948 --> 00:19:41.083
- It was a story i would tell my kids raised and teaching them.
- 00:19:41.083 --> 00:19:43.085
- What you learn today and, and and then i,
- 00:19:43.085 --> 00:19:47.690
- I had to meet with the staff and i told them,
- 00:19:47.690 --> 00:19:50.960
- But before that, i met with my kids.
- 00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:52.428
- I said, kids, you know, this is what i'm planning on doing.
- 00:19:52.428 --> 00:19:54.397
- It's going to affect you.
- 00:19:54.397 --> 00:19:55.831
- And they said, dad, we couldn't be more,
- 00:19:55.831 --> 00:19:58.668
- More proud of you, mikey, too, you know?
- 00:19:58.668 --> 00:20:02.038
- And, i sat down with the elders.
- 00:20:02.038 --> 00:20:04.340
- We have 15 elders,
- 00:20:04.340 --> 00:20:05.908
- And i knew it needed to be unanimous decision.
- 00:20:05.908 --> 00:20:07.743
- And i said, fellas, i'm
- 00:20:07.743 --> 00:20:08.878
- Planning on violating restraining order tomorrow.
- 00:20:08.878 --> 00:20:12.081
- It needs to be unanimous.
- 00:20:12.081 --> 00:20:13.115
- And you had the same fiduciary responsibility.
- 00:20:13.115 --> 00:20:15.117
- You could lose everything i'm going to lose.
- 00:20:15.117 --> 00:20:17.019
- And in case you don't vote unanimously in front of you
- 00:20:17.019 --> 00:20:20.323
- Is my letter of resignation.
- 00:20:20.323 --> 00:20:21.324
- Because i can't live with myself.
- 00:20:21.324 --> 00:20:22.892
- And 14 of the 15 voted yes, the
- 00:20:22.892 --> 00:20:25.761
- The 15th guy abstained because he was an attorney
- 00:20:25.761 --> 00:20:27.730
- And we needed him and he couldn't vote to break the law.
- 00:20:27.730 --> 00:20:33.469
- And and i watched
- 00:20:33.903 --> 00:20:36.405
- As i stood and i told mikey and my kids, i said,
- 00:20:36.405 --> 00:20:39.875
- Dad, what if we lose?
- 00:20:40.376 --> 00:20:42.278
- And i looked at him and i said, you understand?
- 00:20:42.278 --> 00:20:45.448
- Ours is the obedience.
- 00:20:45.915 --> 00:20:47.416
- God's is the outcome.
- 00:20:47.416 --> 00:20:55.013
- God's is the outcome.
- 00:20:55.013 --> 00:20:58.400
- Children born in times of adversity
- 00:20:59.167 --> 00:21:00.635
- Are the leaders in the free world to come.
- 00:21:00.635 --> 00:21:03.772
- Set an example for him.
- 00:21:04.272 --> 00:21:06.608
- You know, pastors think that peace
- 00:21:06.608 --> 00:21:08.143
- Is the absence of conflict.
- 00:21:08.143 --> 00:21:10.445
- Then they're peacemakers by nature of a peace
- 00:21:10.445 --> 00:21:12.047
- Is in the absence of conflict.
- 00:21:12.047 --> 00:21:13.882
- Peace is the presence of christ in the midst of the conflict.
- 00:21:13.882 --> 00:21:17.018
- He said, i come to bring peace,
- 00:21:17.018 --> 00:21:18.053
- But a sword, the sword of truth, make a stand
- 00:21:18.053 --> 00:21:21.123
- And don't cowered because you're afraid
- 00:21:21.990 --> 00:21:24.326
- Of your buildings, budgets, or baptisms.
- 00:21:24.326 --> 00:21:27.529
- Count. you counted.
- 00:21:27.529 --> 00:21:29.297
- You lose everything, but count it all joy.
- 00:21:29.297 --> 00:21:32.000
- This is what we're called to.
- 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.035
- This is a movie set.
- 00:21:34.035 --> 00:21:35.237
- It's going away.
- 00:21:35.237 --> 00:21:37.139
- Only what's done for christ will last, will stand before him.
- 00:21:37.139 --> 00:21:40.142
- And whatever it is you're holding on to, let it go.
- 00:21:40.142 --> 00:21:43.311
- Fight.
- 00:21:43.512 --> 00:21:44.846
- You have a generation looking at you,
- 00:21:44.846 --> 00:21:46.681
- Wanting you to set an example.
- 00:21:46.681 --> 00:21:48.750
- This isn't a love boat.
- 00:21:48.750 --> 00:21:50.752
- And i'm not captain stubing.
- 00:21:50.752 --> 00:21:53.422
- This is a battleship.
- 00:21:53.922 --> 00:21:53.922
