From wars and rumors of war abroad, to the rise of anti-Christian, "woke" ideology here at home, it’s clear that Americans are living in perilous and unprecedented times. Some would even say that we’re witnessing biblical prophecy unfold in real time. Stakelbeck Tonight will make sense of these stunning developments through a bold and biblical lens.

Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: February 27, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | February 27, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:18.998 --> 00:00:20.433
I'm erick stakelbeck and we are here at the national
00:00:20.433 --> 00:00:22.969
Religious broadcasters convention in dallas, texas.
00:00:22.969 --> 00:00:26.005
Or rnb for short, folks.
00:00:26.005 --> 00:00:27.774
This is an incredible annual gathering of christian
00:00:27.774 --> 00:00:31.311
Media leaders.
00:00:31.311 --> 00:00:32.712
And we're going to get right into it tonight
00:00:32.712 --> 00:00:34.247
With one of them, steve deace, our good friend
00:00:34.247 --> 00:00:36.783
Who is host of the steve deace show on the blaze tv.
00:00:36.783 --> 00:00:40.053
Steve, great to see you as always.
00:00:40.053 --> 00:00:41.788
We've got a lot to dig into and you're a busy man,
00:00:41.788 --> 00:00:44.657
But i want to start with that speech j.d.
00:00:44.657 --> 00:00:46.860
Vance gave recently.
00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:47.861
Steve, you actually text me about it,
00:00:47.861 --> 00:00:49.562
The importance of that speech
00:00:49.562 --> 00:00:51.264
Where literally to the faces of these self-satisfied european
00:00:51.264 --> 00:00:55.368
Secular bureaucrats, the vice president of united states
00:00:55.368 --> 00:00:58.505
Quite eloquently call them out on their drift into wokeness,
00:00:58.505 --> 00:01:03.076
Into madness, open borders, shutting down free speech.
00:01:03.076 --> 00:01:07.614
Is this a historic speech that we just witnessed?
00:01:07.614 --> 00:01:10.049
I absolutely think it is, eric.
00:01:10.049 --> 00:01:12.051
I think it's one of the top three foreign policy speeches
00:01:12.051 --> 00:01:15.288
By an administration in my lifetime.
00:01:15.288 --> 00:01:17.957
It's number one is reagan's tear down this wall.
00:01:17.957 --> 00:01:21.094
And i actually think vance, his speech is more like that
00:01:21.094 --> 00:01:23.863
Than my number two speech
00:01:23.863 --> 00:01:25.031
Was the speech
00:01:25.031 --> 00:01:26.065
That trump gave in riyadh, saudi arabia, in 2017,
00:01:26.065 --> 00:01:28.835
Where he basically said to the muslim world,
00:01:28.835 --> 00:01:30.403
We're not here to rebuild your countries anymore.
00:01:30.403 --> 00:01:32.605
We're not here to regime change anymore.
00:01:32.605 --> 00:01:34.474
Here's the offer.
00:01:34.474 --> 00:01:36.142
If you guys want to make money
00:01:36.142 --> 00:01:37.110
With us, we'll make money with you.
00:01:37.110 --> 00:01:38.578
You guys want to leave us alone?
00:01:38.578 --> 00:01:39.812
We'll leave you alone if you don't leave us alone,
00:01:39.812 --> 00:01:42.482
We're going to make you wish that you had.
00:01:42.482 --> 00:01:44.317
That's the deal. how you like that?
00:01:44.317 --> 00:01:46.019
And it set the stage for unprecedented diplomatic success
00:01:46.019 --> 00:01:49.656
In that region of the world.
00:01:49.656 --> 00:01:51.057
I would view vance his speech, though, more like reagan's.
00:01:51.057 --> 00:01:54.160
He had just had his summit in reykjavik.
00:01:54.160 --> 00:01:55.895
Reagan walked out.
00:01:55.895 --> 00:01:57.063
Yeah, because he wouldn't give in to gorbachev's demands.
00:01:57.063 --> 00:02:00.166
The doomsday clock.
00:02:00.166 --> 00:02:01.401
It's one minute to midnight. the press is losing its mind.
00:02:01.401 --> 00:02:03.403
You're going to start a nuclear war.
00:02:03.403 --> 00:02:05.004
And how does he respond?
00:02:05.004 --> 00:02:06.072
He goes to berlin and he says, tear down the wall.
00:02:06.072 --> 00:02:08.208
And the reason he did that was to give agency
00:02:08.208 --> 00:02:11.611
To dissent a voice to dissent, because the people of east
00:02:11.611 --> 00:02:15.181
Germany didn't have an agency there.
00:02:15.181 --> 00:02:17.350
They could have all the dissenting opinions.
00:02:17.350 --> 00:02:20.186
The soviet union, they wanted
00:02:20.186 --> 00:02:21.454
They had no means by which they could act on them.
00:02:21.454 --> 00:02:23.423
He was their. voice. he was their voice.
00:02:23.423 --> 00:02:25.225
And what vance was,
00:02:25.225 --> 00:02:26.526
There's a lot of energy of dissent on the ground
00:02:26.526 --> 00:02:29.762
In these western european countries.
00:02:29.762 --> 00:02:31.531
But essentially, the right politically in these countries
00:02:31.531 --> 00:02:34.667
Makes mitt romney look like he's
00:02:34.667 --> 00:02:36.002
A member of the john birch society. okay.
00:02:36.002 --> 00:02:38.738
And essentially, your choice,
00:02:38.738 --> 00:02:40.340
If you're a voter in western europe, unless you're in hungary
00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:43.009
Or some of these other countries,
00:02:43.009 --> 00:02:44.477
Your choice in the legacy western european countries are
00:02:44.477 --> 00:02:47.313
Do you like corporations, did government
00:02:47.313 --> 00:02:49.249
Do to impose the communism
00:02:49.249 --> 00:02:50.950
Or do you want an all powerful state to do it?
00:02:50.950 --> 00:02:53.219
That's your choice.
00:02:53.219 --> 00:02:54.153
And the right gives you the corporations
00:02:54.153 --> 00:02:55.755
As the instrument for doing it,
00:02:55.755 --> 00:02:57.357
And the left gives you the government.
00:02:57.357 --> 00:02:59.025
That's not a choice.
00:02:59.025 --> 00:03:00.526
And so what vance did by resetting the board is he's
00:03:00.526 --> 00:03:03.696
He's encouraging lech walesa of this era
00:03:03.696 --> 00:03:07.033
To stand up and say,
00:03:07.033 --> 00:03:08.334
Hey, i've got an ally in the united states.
00:03:08.334 --> 00:03:10.937
You can't you can't erase me.
00:03:10.937 --> 00:03:12.939
You can't.
00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:14.107
You know, i will become a cause celeb.
00:03:14.107 --> 00:03:16.576
If people feel like they don't have legit agency
00:03:16.576 --> 00:03:19.679
To peaceably
00:03:19.679 --> 00:03:20.813
Have their grievances heard in the political process,
00:03:20.813 --> 00:03:22.982
History shows they will act out on peaceably,
00:03:22.982 --> 00:03:25.785
And that can descend into nihilism.
00:03:25.785 --> 00:03:28.154
And a lot of times governments will use that as an excuse
00:03:28.154 --> 00:03:31.658
To grab even more power and to be even more coercive.
00:03:31.658 --> 00:03:34.694
And so i thought what vance did
00:03:34.694 --> 00:03:36.529
To show that they're not bullies,
00:03:36.529 --> 00:03:38.131
They're not all powerful
00:03:38.131 --> 00:03:39.332
To face them down right to their faces
00:03:39.332 --> 00:03:41.334
And call them out right to their faces.
00:03:41.334 --> 00:03:42.969
Wasn't
00:03:42.969 --> 00:03:44.137
I don't think he expected a bunch of european leaders
00:03:44.137 --> 00:03:45.738
To say, i have sinned against you and repent.
00:03:45.738 --> 00:03:47.907
I think he was going over them and saying,
00:03:47.907 --> 00:03:50.209
If you want to be the next lech walesa,
00:03:50.209 --> 00:03:52.879
If you want to
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:53.579
Be this generation of dissidents
00:03:53.579 --> 00:03:55.081
To push back against this soft totalitarianism,
00:03:55.081 --> 00:03:57.784
You have an ally in the united states
00:03:57.784 --> 00:03:59.385
And we have your back.
00:03:59.385 --> 00:04:00.353
Yeah.
00:04:00.353 --> 00:04:00.820
Hey, man,
00:04:00.820 --> 00:04:01.821
I really a revolutionary speech in many ways,
00:04:01.821 --> 00:04:03.423
Because people like you and i
00:04:03.423 --> 00:04:04.857
Were thinking about this,
00:04:04.857 --> 00:04:06.259
Talking about it for years and years now.
00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:08.394
Someone finally the vice president of the united states,
00:04:08.394 --> 00:04:10.530
No less, articulated it right to their faces.
00:04:10.530 --> 00:04:13.700
Right. the boldness, i think, is what struck me.
00:04:13.700 --> 00:04:16.469
Of course, they've been wailing
00:04:16.469 --> 00:04:18.304
And gnashing their teeth over his speech in europe.
00:04:18.304 --> 00:04:20.873
But steve,
00:04:20.873 --> 00:04:21.708
I think it's part of a larger shift
00:04:21.708 --> 00:04:22.742
That you and i have talked about.
00:04:22.742 --> 00:04:24.043
I think we're seeing it in america since trump took office
00:04:24.043 --> 00:04:26.979
And even before that, we won the election.
00:04:26.979 --> 00:04:29.015
Can this shift
00:04:29.015 --> 00:04:30.783
And i think god's moving as well in this,
00:04:30.783 --> 00:04:32.985
Can it extend to western europe, our friends and naito,
00:04:32.985 --> 00:04:36.322
Or is that as that train left the station
00:04:36.322 --> 00:04:38.658
And they dug themselves too deep a hole?
00:04:38.658 --> 00:04:40.593
It can, but we don't.
00:04:40.593 --> 00:04:42.695
It depends on the form.
00:04:42.695 --> 00:04:44.831
Right now they're on pace to do the french revolution.
00:04:44.831 --> 00:04:48.000
We want american revolutions, right?
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.370
The french revolution doesn't end well.
00:04:50.370 --> 00:04:52.171
The idea power to the people or the people are sinners.
00:04:52.171 --> 00:04:55.708
And so you end up after that revolution.
00:04:55.708 --> 00:04:57.810
Just a whole different group are falsely in prison
00:04:57.810 --> 00:04:59.612
Than the ones that were in there before. right.
00:04:59.612 --> 00:05:01.547
That's where it's about payback. it's about vengeance.
00:05:01.547 --> 00:05:03.916
Not about justice, not about righteousness.
00:05:03.916 --> 00:05:06.219
And so this is where the church
00:05:06.219 --> 00:05:07.387
And this is true in our country, too, eric.
00:05:07.387 --> 00:05:09.088
And the church is an even more dilapidated state over there.
00:05:09.088 --> 00:05:11.724
Less than 2% of france is evangelical.
00:05:11.724 --> 00:05:14.193
Much of the old catholic cathedrals are now mosques.
00:05:14.193 --> 00:05:17.163
And so without the church getting back its moral
00:05:17.163 --> 00:05:19.599
Witness, like john paul, the second was in the cold war
00:05:19.599 --> 00:05:22.335
For against the soviet union.
00:05:22.335 --> 00:05:24.170
It cannot be successful at best.
00:05:24.170 --> 00:05:25.972
It'll just lead to civil and social upheaval
00:05:25.972 --> 00:05:27.907
And unrest in the streets. amen.
00:05:27.907 --> 00:05:29.642
Steve, well-said as always.
00:05:29.642 --> 00:05:30.743
As you have said many times,
00:05:30.743 --> 00:05:32.345
It is revival, robust revival there.
00:05:32.345 --> 00:05:34.313
But there are better political solutions and others clearly.
00:05:34.313 --> 00:05:36.949
But the end of day of jesus is not at the center of it.
00:05:36.949 --> 00:05:39.752
We're in for a long, long haul and not a pleasant road war
00:05:39.752 --> 00:05:42.922
With our good friend steve.
00:05:42.922 --> 00:05:43.890
Days after the break, folks, as you can
00:05:43.890 --> 00:05:45.792
Tell, steve is a jack of all trades.
00:05:45.792 --> 00:05:47.960
You can talk a little bit about everything.
00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:49.762
Host of the steve day show on the blaze tv
00:05:49.762 --> 00:05:52.265
Break down the border, islam and a very interesting
00:05:52.265 --> 00:05:55.668
And important children's book that you need to know about.
00:05:55.668 --> 00:05:59.005
More with steve days from the nabi convention after the break.
00:05:59.005 --> 00:06:02.442
Stick around.
00:06:02.442 --> 00:06:06.994
Stick around.
00:06:06.994 --> 00:06:10.116
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
00:06:10.883 --> 00:06:12.385
We are here at the national religious broadcasters
00:06:12.385 --> 00:06:14.720
Annual convention and our beat for short.
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.756
My good friend steve deace, host of the steve vai
00:06:16.756 --> 00:06:19.225
Show on the blaze tv and also an author.
00:06:19.225 --> 00:06:23.362
And we're talking serious real world issues here, folks.
00:06:23.362 --> 00:06:27.166
But children's book author, soon the common come
00:06:27.166 --> 00:06:31.003
How nice the children's book richie meets the rainbow.
00:06:31.003 --> 00:06:34.373
This is much more than a children's book.
00:06:34.373 --> 00:06:36.476
Tell us about it.
00:06:36.476 --> 00:06:37.343
It's it's if if if dr.
00:06:37.343 --> 00:06:39.512
Seuss and john macarthur
00:06:39.512 --> 00:06:42.114
Combined on a book, what would they write?
00:06:42.114 --> 00:06:44.750
It'll be richie meets the rainbow.
00:06:44.750 --> 00:06:46.219
All right.
00:06:46.219 --> 00:06:47.253
I want to write the definitive humiliation
00:06:47.253 --> 00:06:49.755
And not just take down humiliation of pride month.
00:06:49.755 --> 00:06:52.158
And i think the moment is now
00:06:52.158 --> 00:06:53.926
At hand for that time for someone to kind of come
00:06:53.926 --> 00:06:56.496
Just to stand up and say, you know,
00:06:56.496 --> 00:06:58.197
I really don't think you got the goods.
00:06:58.197 --> 00:06:59.665
I don't think you have it in you.
00:06:59.665 --> 00:07:00.867
I don't want to dread the month of june every time, right.
00:07:00.867 --> 00:07:03.469
Flips right where it's shoved down your throat. correct.
00:07:03.469 --> 00:07:06.005
And so thrust upon your kids.
00:07:06.005 --> 00:07:07.406
I've spent a year working on this project under wraps.
00:07:07.406 --> 00:07:11.511
It was hard to even find an illustrator for it.
00:07:11.511 --> 00:07:13.713
And it's meant for kids, but parents are going to get it
00:07:13.713 --> 00:07:16.215
More.
00:07:16.215 --> 00:07:17.450
And my goal is that every dad in america will read it to
00:07:17.450 --> 00:07:20.520
His kid.
00:07:20.520 --> 00:07:21.454
And the premise of the book is a young man
00:07:21.454 --> 00:07:22.922
Named richie goes to school one day
00:07:22.922 --> 00:07:24.557
And sees all this rainbow propaganda.
00:07:24.557 --> 00:07:27.460
He has nobody mean what it means
00:07:27.460 --> 00:07:29.061
And the answers his teachers gave him are very subversive
00:07:29.061 --> 00:07:31.764
And he knows something is wrong, but he doesn't understand.
00:07:31.764 --> 00:07:34.200
So he goes home and asks his dad about it
00:07:34.200 --> 00:07:36.702
And what his dad tells him about it,
00:07:36.702 --> 00:07:38.104
And then how his dad reacts to it.
00:07:38.104 --> 00:07:39.839
Okay.
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.807
The rest, as they say, kind of tells itself, you will laugh.
00:07:41.807 --> 00:07:45.378
And i do think this needs to be mocked.
00:07:45.378 --> 00:07:47.613
It's in our legislature right now.
00:07:47.613 --> 00:07:49.549
We're getting close to being the first state in iowa
00:07:49.549 --> 00:07:52.552
To ban all the gender stuff, erase it
00:07:52.552 --> 00:07:55.154
From the code, get rid of not just in sports, everywhere.
00:07:55.154 --> 00:07:58.457
And we are seeing almost new testament scenes,
00:07:58.457 --> 00:08:01.360
Eric, of demonic seething at our legislature.
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.063
They had me go down
00:08:04.063 --> 00:08:05.097
And speak to the legislature about a week ago.
00:08:05.097 --> 00:08:06.799
I walked in 75, 80 of them screaming, hissing,
00:08:06.799 --> 00:08:10.503
And i looked at them.
00:08:10.503 --> 00:08:11.637
And i heard legions. yes.
00:08:11.637 --> 00:08:13.039
And i looked over at them.
00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:14.140
I greeted them first
00:08:14.140 --> 00:08:15.608
And i said, hey, i want to congratulate
00:08:15.608 --> 00:08:17.543
Everybody that the des moines register polled in that in that
00:08:17.543 --> 00:08:20.846
In that infamous poll right before the election,
00:08:20.846 --> 00:08:23.215
We were wondering who did they talk to
00:08:23.215 --> 00:08:24.750
To say that trump was going to lose.
00:08:24.750 --> 00:08:26.586
All of you showed up today. congratulations.
00:08:26.586 --> 00:08:28.654
I wanted to right away take the air out of the balloon.
00:08:28.654 --> 00:08:31.824
You're not intimidating. i'm not intimidated.
00:08:31.824 --> 00:08:34.126
We're not scared.
00:08:34.126 --> 00:08:35.194
We're not intimidated. we're not going to demean you.
00:08:35.194 --> 00:08:36.829
We're not going to
00:08:36.829 --> 00:08:37.997
You're made in the likeness in miniature god as well.
00:08:37.997 --> 00:08:39.332
Therefore, with the grace of god, go i.
00:08:39.332 --> 00:08:41.000
But you are not going to corner us anymore.
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.636
And so the book comes out in june for pride month.
00:08:43.636 --> 00:08:47.039
If people want to learn more about it,
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.041
We've got a mailing list to get on
00:08:49.041 --> 00:08:50.543
And we're gonna start doing previews here soon.
00:08:50.543 --> 00:08:52.411
This go to richie meets the rainbow dot com.
00:08:52.411 --> 00:08:54.380
Ah, i see. i.e.
00:08:54.380 --> 00:08:56.282
Ritchie meets the rainbow dot com if there was ever
00:08:56.282 --> 00:08:59.085
An audience
00:08:59.085 --> 00:09:00.553
That a book was written for, it is the tb an audience?
00:09:00.553 --> 00:09:03.856
And this book, this is going to be catnip
00:09:03.856 --> 00:09:07.493
To this audience, i can promise you.
00:09:07.493 --> 00:09:09.195
All right ritchie meets the rainbow dot com no doubt.
00:09:09.195 --> 00:09:11.130
Love it.
00:09:11.130 --> 00:09:12.331
Steve and i can look forward to the month of june again.
00:09:12.331 --> 00:09:13.933
But steve, i think part of a larger
00:09:13.933 --> 00:09:15.401
And you've documented
00:09:15.401 --> 00:09:16.569
This part of a larger shift, i'll use that word again,
00:09:16.569 --> 00:09:19.672
You get a sense of the american
00:09:19.672 --> 00:09:20.806
People when it comes to pride month
00:09:20.806 --> 00:09:22.074
And the nonsense of gender madness.
00:09:22.074 --> 00:09:24.010
People are fed up.
00:09:24.010 --> 00:09:25.111
We saw that on november 5th, obviously,
00:09:25.111 --> 00:09:26.812
But people are fed up.
00:09:26.812 --> 00:09:28.280
Is there a return of common sense to america?
00:09:28.280 --> 00:09:31.017
This is where i think we need the church very badly, eric,
00:09:31.017 --> 00:09:33.786
Because if not, we're going to react to unrighteousness
00:09:33.786 --> 00:09:37.156
As unrighteous. lee okay.
00:09:37.156 --> 00:09:39.291
And if the previous era of the church
00:09:39.291 --> 00:09:41.160
Was it's our job to be nicer than god,
00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:43.729
And we made nice, the 11th commandment
00:09:43.729 --> 00:09:45.831
That god somehow forgot to put on the tablets
00:09:45.831 --> 00:09:47.600
He gave the moses.
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.634
We also, though, cannot go so far the other way
00:09:48.634 --> 00:09:51.470
That we you know, it's we honor god first.
00:09:51.470 --> 00:09:54.407
But love your neighbor as you love yourself is still second.
00:09:54.407 --> 00:09:56.642
It's still pretty high. right.
00:09:56.642 --> 00:09:58.444
And so if if we don't have the church kind of stepping in
00:09:58.444 --> 00:10:02.481
And saying, hey, here's how we navigate a narrow road,
00:10:02.481 --> 00:10:05.751
Then i'm afraid that we're going to overreach in response
00:10:05.751 --> 00:10:08.854
To these things
00:10:08.854 --> 00:10:09.889
And undo our own witness at the exact same time.
00:10:09.889 --> 00:10:12.958
We desperately need the church's leadership.
00:10:12.958 --> 00:10:16.162
We need leadership from more pastors
00:10:16.162 --> 00:10:18.297
Like my buddy jack hibbs and others who understand this
00:10:18.297 --> 00:10:21.934
Tension between confronting evil and loving our neighbor.
00:10:21.934 --> 00:10:25.971
We need more of that kind of modeling
00:10:25.971 --> 00:10:27.640
Guidance and leadership from the church.
00:10:27.640 --> 00:10:29.008
Yes, there's a balance there.
00:10:29.008 --> 00:10:30.443
Wise words. steve, about 30 seconds left.
00:10:30.443 --> 00:10:32.978
Where can we catch the steve?
00:10:32.978 --> 00:10:34.080
They show just so everyone knows.
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.481
The easiest thing to do, just follow me on twitter because
00:10:35.481 --> 00:10:38.484
Everything i do is posted
00:10:38.484 --> 00:10:39.585
There at steve dave show on x at steve day show on.
00:10:39.585 --> 00:10:42.722
X, exxon, and folks, he's
00:10:42.722 --> 00:10:44.356
Knocking out of the park every single day.
00:10:44.356 --> 00:10:46.192
Look for ritchie meets rainbow very soon.
00:10:46.192 --> 00:10:47.993
Hey, you've got more meetings, interviews here to nab.
00:10:47.993 --> 00:10:50.596
So we're glad you took the time with us. steve. dave, anytime.
00:10:50.596 --> 00:10:52.998
Great job, as always, my friend.
00:10:52.998 --> 00:10:54.100
God bless you.
00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:54.800
Yeah.
00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:56.001
And coming up after the break, we're still here and our b,
00:10:56.001 --> 00:10:57.403
We're not going anywhere.
00:10:57.403 --> 00:10:58.504
Nick vujicic will join us next.
00:10:58.504 --> 00:11:01.073
You will not want to miss this.
00:11:01.073 --> 00:11:02.241
Nick is bold as a lion.
00:11:02.241 --> 00:11:04.577
He's got a lot to say.
00:11:04.577 --> 00:11:05.644
You're going to see that after the break.
00:11:05.644 --> 00:11:07.480
Don't move.
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.994
Don't move.
00:11:10.994 --> 00:11:13.952
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:11:14.719 --> 00:11:16.488
This is dallas, texas.
00:11:16.488 --> 00:11:17.889
This is nick vujicic,
00:11:17.889 --> 00:11:18.990
Our good friend
00:11:18.990 --> 00:11:20.158
At the national religious broadcasters convention, nrb
00:11:20.158 --> 00:11:23.361
For short, nick, you know,
00:11:23.361 --> 00:11:24.395
We sat here last year at rnb, you and i,
00:11:24.395 --> 00:11:27.065
And we talked about an idea you had stirring something
00:11:27.065 --> 00:11:29.901
Exciting pro life fintech.
00:11:29.901 --> 00:11:32.637
You're the chief brand ambassador
00:11:32.637 --> 00:11:34.339
And now it's all happening.
00:11:34.339 --> 00:11:35.907
Nick, tell us about it.
00:11:35.907 --> 00:11:37.108
I love you, eric. it's great to be back.
00:11:37.108 --> 00:11:38.777
Hello, everyone.
00:11:38.777 --> 00:11:40.111
Thank you for asking.
00:11:40.111 --> 00:11:41.880
You like the swag.
00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:42.947
I love it. i want some.
00:11:42.947 --> 00:11:44.182
Yeah, i can't. you get it?
00:11:44.182 --> 00:11:45.984
Listen, it's open pro life.
00:11:45.984 --> 00:11:48.319
Fintech is open.
00:11:48.319 --> 00:11:49.254
The online banking solution for those of us
00:11:49.254 --> 00:11:53.258
Who are concerned about banking on purpose.
00:11:53.258 --> 00:11:56.728
So we invest based on our values.
00:11:56.728 --> 00:12:00.331
But what about banking?
00:12:00.331 --> 00:12:01.866
And so all of our banks.
00:12:01.866 --> 00:12:03.368
Chase bank kicked me out
00:12:03.368 --> 00:12:05.870
In 2019.
00:12:05.870 --> 00:12:06.938
I was canceled out of chase bank in 2019.
00:12:06.938 --> 00:12:10.208
No reason why.
00:12:10.208 --> 00:12:12.110
Because of your conservative christian views.
00:12:12.110 --> 00:12:14.112
They didn't. even. but they didn't say that.
00:12:14.112 --> 00:12:16.714
That's it.
00:12:16.714 --> 00:12:17.182
Yeah. yeah.
00:12:17.182 --> 00:12:17.682
You're like,
00:12:17.682 --> 00:12:18.883
Definitely what had nothing to do with my fingerprints.
00:12:18.883 --> 00:12:20.385
That i did something wrong. right.
00:12:20.385 --> 00:12:22.554
But it was something that god used for the good.
00:12:22.554 --> 00:12:25.623
Yeah.
00:12:25.623 --> 00:12:26.624
And we not only don't want to cancel people
00:12:26.624 --> 00:12:29.761
For their beliefs, if you will never cancel,
00:12:29.761 --> 00:12:32.864
We'll never cancel that.
00:12:32.864 --> 00:12:36.167
Any stance. and i and i.
00:12:36.167 --> 00:12:37.635
And i want people to understand that, number one,
00:12:37.635 --> 00:12:41.539
We're in america
00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:42.707
And the constitution should never have a victimization
00:12:42.707 --> 00:12:46.978
Or weaponizing in the banking industry because of who you are.
00:12:46.978 --> 00:12:51.716
And so i was victim of that.
00:12:51.716 --> 00:12:53.451
So pro-life fintech is the alternative number one for that.
00:12:53.451 --> 00:12:57.422
But also all the big banks, they actually give
00:12:57.422 --> 00:13:00.525
Philanthropically to things that as a christian with
00:13:00.525 --> 00:13:03.528
Biblical worldviews,
00:13:03.528 --> 00:13:05.763
I'd actually completely disagree with.
00:13:05.763 --> 00:13:07.565
In fact, imagine all the pro-life
00:13:07.565 --> 00:13:09.734
Nonprofit organizations out there.
00:13:09.734 --> 00:13:11.903
They bank with the biggest banks,
00:13:11.903 --> 00:13:13.271
All those banks actually
00:13:13.271 --> 00:13:14.539
Philanthropically give to abortion organizations.
00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:17.642
They're woke. they woke, no doubt.
00:13:17.642 --> 00:13:19.811
So this is the alternative.
00:13:19.811 --> 00:13:22.947
We are an online. it's all across america.
00:13:22.947 --> 00:13:25.149
It's open for personal account.
00:13:25.149 --> 00:13:26.851
So we have a savings account, a checking account,
00:13:26.851 --> 00:13:30.054
A 3% earning money markets account.
00:13:30.054 --> 00:13:33.224
And if you want to begin your journey of banking on purpose,
00:13:33.224 --> 00:13:36.961
You can go to begin live dot com.
00:13:36.961 --> 00:13:39.197
It'll take you straight
00:13:39.197 --> 00:13:40.298
To opening up an account on your smartphone.
00:13:40.298 --> 00:13:43.401
And you we have a charter sponsor,
00:13:43.401 --> 00:13:46.638
Regent bank, which is a brick and mortar bank
00:13:46.638 --> 00:13:50.308
That actually sponsors us as a digital fintech.
00:13:50.308 --> 00:13:53.544
And pro-life fintech is not a bank,
00:13:53.544 --> 00:13:55.914
But you would say more banking alternative.
00:13:55.914 --> 00:13:58.283
Would that be a good way to describe it?
00:13:58.283 --> 00:13:59.484
Basically, if you want to say an online banking
00:13:59.484 --> 00:14:02.787
Experience instead of going to a brick and mortar
00:14:02.787 --> 00:14:05.924
So you can do it on your phone,
00:14:05.924 --> 00:14:07.025
A lot of brick and mortars have their own fintechs.
00:14:07.025 --> 00:14:10.061
So regent bank is a brick and mortar,
00:14:10.061 --> 00:14:13.498
But they have fintech extensions
00:14:13.498 --> 00:14:16.768
So their customers can actually get it on their smartphone.
00:14:16.768 --> 00:14:20.571
So we're an extension,
00:14:20.571 --> 00:14:22.173
If you will, like that on the smartphone.
00:14:22.173 --> 00:14:24.676
And all of our customers are pro-life in tech
00:14:24.676 --> 00:14:27.712
Because we're an extension of regent bank, who's fdic
00:14:27.712 --> 00:14:32.317
Approved.
00:14:32.317 --> 00:14:33.685
We also get that insurance for the customers.
00:14:33.685 --> 00:14:36.988
It's an idea whose time has come, i would say.
00:14:36.988 --> 00:14:39.891
Needless to say, in all seriousness, nick.
00:14:39.891 --> 00:14:41.459
And secondly, it's pro life fintech.
00:14:41.459 --> 00:14:44.362
Yes, i consider nick folkes one of america's
00:14:44.362 --> 00:14:47.532
Greatest advocates for life in the pro-life movement.
00:14:47.532 --> 00:14:51.135
How does that nick, work and your thinking here?
00:14:51.135 --> 00:14:53.137
Yeah, with the company, number one.
00:14:53.137 --> 00:14:55.006
And number two, for the pro-life movement
00:14:55.006 --> 00:14:56.841
In america right now,
00:14:56.841 --> 00:14:58.109
You see a golden opportunity
00:14:58.109 --> 00:14:59.544
To really advance the ball down the field.
00:14:59.544 --> 00:15:01.212
So you,
00:15:01.212 --> 00:15:02.413
You hear about the d banking of blackrock and stuff, right?
00:15:02.413 --> 00:15:05.416
Yeah.
00:15:05.416 --> 00:15:06.451
What we're seeing is the wealth of the righteous
00:15:06.451 --> 00:15:09.954
Being stewarded well, but
00:15:09.954 --> 00:15:11.622
Then the wealth of the wicked coming into the righteous hands.
00:15:11.622 --> 00:15:16.461
And so we're seeing god's wealth.
00:15:16.461 --> 00:15:19.097
I'm not being pimped by the devil
00:15:19.097 --> 00:15:20.698
And killing babies anymore,
00:15:20.698 --> 00:15:23.101
But actually pro-life fintech in the business model,
00:15:23.101 --> 00:15:25.803
We want to give 10% net away to god honoring
00:15:25.803 --> 00:15:29.774
Non profit organizations.
00:15:29.774 --> 00:15:31.042
We do want to help unborn be born.
00:15:31.042 --> 00:15:34.245
We want to help the mothers and fathers
00:15:34.245 --> 00:15:36.381
Affected with the unexpected or unwanted pregnancies.
00:15:36.381 --> 00:15:39.517
But we just want to bless people in the name of jesus.
00:15:39.517 --> 00:15:43.721
And so pro-life fintech,
00:15:43.721 --> 00:15:45.556
We want to be that ship or pioneering spear.
00:15:45.556 --> 00:15:49.427
It's going to be a network.
00:15:49.427 --> 00:15:51.262
Eric of a christian bankers alliance.
00:15:51.262 --> 00:15:54.832
This is a movement.
00:15:54.832 --> 00:15:56.200
This is not a stand alone fintech.
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:59.037
Hey, yeah, this is hugh church.
00:15:59.037 --> 00:16:02.140
So we're really, really excited
00:16:02.140 --> 00:16:03.374
That pro-life fintech is the pioneering
00:16:03.374 --> 00:16:05.610
Tip of the spear to start as a fintech to do this.
00:16:05.610 --> 00:16:09.113
And you're getting a great response,
00:16:09.113 --> 00:16:10.515
By the way, here at nab, right? a lot of.
00:16:10.515 --> 00:16:12.316
People are very. interested.
00:16:12.316 --> 00:16:14.118
Very interested.
00:16:14.118 --> 00:16:15.219
We already have 700 accounts open without marketing.
00:16:15.219 --> 00:16:18.923
Wow. we have a very we haven't even started.
00:16:18.923 --> 00:16:22.460
Well, they've got a good chief brand ambassador.
00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:25.363
Not bad. not bad. very smart.
00:16:25.363 --> 00:16:28.599
But this is this is it, eric.
00:16:28.599 --> 00:16:30.334
So we're just thankful
00:16:30.334 --> 00:16:31.436
That we can tell your viewers all about it. yeah.
00:16:31.436 --> 00:16:33.571
And for all the information, if you want to see the website
00:16:33.571 --> 00:16:36.808
To learn all about the journey and all that pro-life intercom.
00:16:36.808 --> 00:16:40.945
But if you want to open up an account, get your phone out.
00:16:40.945 --> 00:16:43.881
And corporate accounts are opening in may,
00:16:43.881 --> 00:16:46.984
June of 2025.
00:16:46.984 --> 00:16:49.821
Big, big tech. this is so amazing.
00:16:49.821 --> 00:16:52.256
I'm so excited, nick, to see this come to fruition.
00:16:52.256 --> 00:16:54.258
We talked about a year ago, this very convention,
00:16:54.258 --> 00:16:56.394
But it's been stirring since 2019 or so, as you said.
00:16:56.394 --> 00:16:59.397
Yeah, 2021.
00:16:59.397 --> 00:17:00.331
We started telling people anything.
00:17:00.331 --> 00:17:02.500
Yeah, it's an abbey.
00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:04.368
And now look at what god has done.
00:17:04.368 --> 00:17:05.903
After the break.
00:17:05.903 --> 00:17:07.071
We're talking about
00:17:07.071 --> 00:17:08.172
The mighty move of god in america, around the world.
00:17:08.172 --> 00:17:10.975
And how does israel factor into all this?
00:17:10.975 --> 00:17:13.111
More with nick. we just after the break. don't move.
00:17:13.111 --> 00:17:19.990
More with nick. we just after the break. don't move.
00:17:19.990 --> 00:17:22.720
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:17:23.488 --> 00:17:24.889
This is a national religious broadcasters
00:17:24.889 --> 00:17:26.924
Convention, rnb, in dallas, texas.
00:17:26.924 --> 00:17:29.127
We are here with the one and only our good friend,
00:17:29.127 --> 00:17:30.928
Nick boyer, church chief brand ambassador of pro-life, fintech
00:17:30.928 --> 00:17:35.366
And much more. we've got nick's mean ministries.
00:17:35.366 --> 00:17:37.368
Got a lot to talk about in our time remaining, nick, but
00:17:37.368 --> 00:17:40.605
I guess you could call it the trump effect.
00:17:40.605 --> 00:17:43.774
I've been saying, look,
00:17:43.774 --> 00:17:44.876
There's a move of god in america right now.
00:17:44.876 --> 00:17:46.878
Stirrings of revival.
00:17:46.878 --> 00:17:48.279
I hope that it's stretching across the western world,
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.549
Quite frankly.
00:17:51.549 --> 00:17:52.917
What do you see
00:17:52.917 --> 00:17:53.784
Golden opportunity right now
00:17:53.784 --> 00:17:55.219
For the body of christ to advance the ball?
00:17:55.219 --> 00:17:57.722
The imminent effect is we got to go back to,
00:17:57.722 --> 00:18:01.225
First and foremost the verse where it says we don't put hope
00:18:01.225 --> 00:18:04.362
In chariots and men, but in the lord.
00:18:04.362 --> 00:18:07.532
And so,
00:18:07.532 --> 00:18:09.300
You know, eric, the first bad news for anyone who doesn't
00:18:09.300 --> 00:18:12.336
Realize who ali is surrounded with republican friends,
00:18:12.336 --> 00:18:18.075
We've never been so divided as a country,
00:18:18.075 --> 00:18:21.913
Seriously.
00:18:21.913 --> 00:18:24.382
And so we at nick, the ministries are trying
00:18:24.382 --> 00:18:26.984
To unite
00:18:26.984 --> 00:18:28.786
Democrat, republican,
00:18:28.786 --> 00:18:30.755
Believe is to come to ask god
00:18:30.755 --> 00:18:34.225
Help us as a nation to also understand
00:18:34.225 --> 00:18:38.563
Not only the sins of our country
00:18:38.563 --> 00:18:42.166
And to address still division
00:18:42.166 --> 00:18:44.602
And to admit that 70% of republican and 70% of democrat
00:18:44.602 --> 00:18:48.940
Politics are still corrupt, couldn't care less.
00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:52.476
That's my opinion.
00:18:52.476 --> 00:18:55.479
But the bottom line is this
00:18:55.479 --> 00:18:56.647
Because there's not one man righteous, right?
00:18:56.647 --> 00:18:59.650
But what we must understand is this we,
00:18:59.650 --> 00:19:02.753
No matter who is president, eric in dallas
00:19:02.753 --> 00:19:06.891
32,000 homeless veterans have always been there.
00:19:06.891 --> 00:19:11.529
The trajectory of the suicide of veterans
00:19:11.529 --> 00:19:16.901
Has never changed.
00:19:16.901 --> 00:19:18.469
Foster care waiting list never changed.
00:19:18.469 --> 00:19:22.006
Can i?
00:19:22.006 --> 00:19:22.640
I don't want to go on. so.
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:24.141
So who changed that?
00:19:24.141 --> 00:19:25.543
Is that important?
00:19:25.543 --> 00:19:26.410
Is that less important than policy?
00:19:26.410 --> 00:19:28.045
Is that less important than corruption?
00:19:28.045 --> 00:19:31.549
The church can't do much about the corruption
00:19:31.549 --> 00:19:33.584
That we're finding out that the last party did.
00:19:33.584 --> 00:19:36.354
And i'm very happy that trump saying, sure,
00:19:36.354 --> 00:19:39.457
But what about what's god, what's god's barometer?
00:19:39.457 --> 00:19:44.328
Yeah, and it's it's us, the church.
00:19:44.328 --> 00:19:47.265
We're divided
00:19:47.265 --> 00:19:49.066
And we're seeing more faith leaders
00:19:49.066 --> 00:19:52.570
Come out with terrible laundry.
00:19:52.570 --> 00:19:55.373
Yeah, i think what we need in the church is accountability
00:19:55.373 --> 00:19:59.043
For faith leaders.
00:19:59.043 --> 00:20:00.244
And we need a repentance, starting with the faith leaders.
00:20:00.244 --> 00:20:03.214
Can you can you
00:20:03.214 --> 00:20:04.215
If you have an addiction, can you just start
00:20:04.215 --> 00:20:06.050
Like confessing it before we find out about it, please?
00:20:06.050 --> 00:20:08.552
Yeah. and and let's actually engage
00:20:08.552 --> 00:20:11.055
The youth pastors, not as babies.
00:20:11.055 --> 00:20:12.823
It is for the next generation. they're not the next generation.
00:20:12.823 --> 00:20:15.426
The the now generation,
00:20:15.426 --> 00:20:16.560
The most biblically illiterate generation.
00:20:16.560 --> 00:20:19.563
This is my problem. this is our cancer,
00:20:19.563 --> 00:20:22.633
Eric.
00:20:22.633 --> 00:20:23.467
We're dying on a ventilator of cancer,
00:20:23.467 --> 00:20:25.836
But it's only warm and fuzzy because trump said,
00:20:25.836 --> 00:20:29.507
Listen, if we don't repent of our sins,
00:20:29.507 --> 00:20:31.642
Eric, we are going to get jack hammered by god himself.
00:20:31.642 --> 00:20:36.514
Watch.
00:20:36.514 --> 00:20:38.282
If we actually don't get the homeless at home
00:20:38.282 --> 00:20:42.219
And we don't tell our neighbor about jesus,
00:20:42.219 --> 00:20:44.722
Whether they come to church or not.
00:20:44.722 --> 00:20:46.223
If your pastor has not shared with you
00:20:46.223 --> 00:20:49.026
How important it is
00:20:49.026 --> 00:20:49.994
To share your testimony with your neighbor,
00:20:49.994 --> 00:20:52.596
Whether they come to church or not, your church has failed you,
00:20:52.596 --> 00:20:56.300
And your church is only thinking of church growth
00:20:56.300 --> 00:20:59.036
Instead of just opposite growth.
00:20:59.036 --> 00:21:01.539
This is my concern.
00:21:01.539 --> 00:21:02.907
This is now my warning.
00:21:02.907 --> 00:21:04.141
And eric, next year we're going to talk about big, big time
00:21:04.141 --> 00:21:08.212
America repent and america returns 2026
00:21:08.212 --> 00:21:12.316
Event we're going to have in washington, dc
00:21:12.316 --> 00:21:14.785
A million people there.
00:21:14.785 --> 00:21:16.520
I know we've had some events,
00:21:16.520 --> 00:21:18.689
But let's see what the church is going to do different
00:21:18.689 --> 00:21:21.392
Between now and then.
00:21:21.392 --> 00:21:22.493
And every pulpit in america every sunday.
00:21:22.493 --> 00:21:24.829
Nick should be talking about these issues
00:21:24.829 --> 00:21:26.931
That we're talking about right now.
00:21:26.931 --> 00:21:28.432
We cannot remain silent.
00:21:28.432 --> 00:21:30.201
You never do, my friend.
00:21:30.201 --> 00:21:31.402
We time and as we close out,
00:21:31.402 --> 00:21:33.437
Can you take us out here on our be with a prayer?
00:21:33.437 --> 00:21:36.974
I just want you know, israel is most important
00:21:36.974 --> 00:21:39.276
To keep you prayer, keep them in prayer.
00:21:39.276 --> 00:21:41.145
Lord, we thank you for israel, lord.
00:21:41.145 --> 00:21:42.880
We thank you for eric.
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:43.881
We thank you for his family.
00:21:43.881 --> 00:21:46.016
We thank you for his beautiful family.
00:21:46.016 --> 00:21:48.652
Thank you for this beautiful ministry.
00:21:48.652 --> 00:21:51.255
Bless tbn.
00:21:51.255 --> 00:21:52.523
Thank you for their teams.
00:21:52.523 --> 00:21:54.158
Father, we thank you for all the people watching
00:21:54.158 --> 00:21:57.995
God. we could do an event about repenting,
00:21:57.995 --> 00:22:00.598
But lord, would you just convict us of our same
00:22:00.598 --> 00:22:04.535
Pornographic addiction, drug addiction,
00:22:04.535 --> 00:22:08.906
Whatever is going on in our life?
00:22:08.906 --> 00:22:12.510
Some of the men watching who have an affair
00:22:12.510 --> 00:22:15.045
That their wife don't know
00:22:15.045 --> 00:22:16.180
About emotional affair or real affair, but you know
00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:20.885
You know it well, god, get the poison out of our brain
00:22:20.885 --> 00:22:25.823
And help us to get back to the reality that
00:22:25.823 --> 00:22:27.958
When we see a soul walking by,
00:22:27.958 --> 00:22:31.262
There's a really good chance they have broken,
00:22:31.262 --> 00:22:33.164
There's a really good chance they're going to hell.
00:22:33.164 --> 00:22:36.167
But it is ultimately divine
00:22:36.167 --> 00:22:38.235
That we are in front of those people
00:22:38.235 --> 00:22:40.604
And you're waiting for us to move.
00:22:40.604 --> 00:22:42.640
You're waiting for us to talk. you're waiting for us to pray.
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.443
You're waiting for us to be your hands and feet.
00:22:45.443 --> 00:22:48.112
And god, if you can use a man with that
00:22:48.112 --> 00:22:49.747
Arms, legs to be your hands and feet
00:22:49.747 --> 00:22:51.949
And you can use all of us, god, bring america
00:22:51.949 --> 00:22:56.287
To our knees in full repentance.
00:22:56.287 --> 00:22:59.123
Bye bye bye, your holy spirit,
00:22:59.123 --> 00:23:01.525
And not by force, by a terrorist attack or anything else.
00:23:01.525 --> 00:23:05.362
God, we pray that you would cause us to posture and repent.
00:23:05.362 --> 00:23:09.166
Now, in jesus name,
00:23:09.166 --> 00:23:10.901
Bless israel, bless america and bless our interview.
00:23:10.901 --> 00:23:13.537
Amen. amen. nick, great stuff, as always, my friend.
00:23:13.537 --> 00:23:16.173
Pro-life, intact. check it out.
00:23:16.173 --> 00:23:18.709

00:23:27.718 --> 00:23:27.718
