- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:18.730 --> 00:00:20.332
- I'm erick stackelbeck.
- 00:00:20.332 --> 00:00:21.467
- And it is the biggest story in the world right now.
- 00:00:21.467 --> 00:00:24.736
- So we want to get right into it.
- 00:00:24.736 --> 00:00:27.072
- As massive protests shake iran and the regime responds
- 00:00:27.072 --> 00:00:30.676
- With bullets, blackouts and brutality.
- 00:00:30.676 --> 00:00:33.745
- Voices from inside and outside the country are warning
- 00:00:33.745 --> 00:00:37.382
- The world not to look away.
- 00:00:37.382 --> 00:00:39.518
- This is the moment of truth.
- 00:00:39.518 --> 00:00:42.020
- Younes sadaghiani was born in tehran and knows
- 00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:44.723
- This regime and its ideology firsthand.
- 00:00:44.723 --> 00:00:47.960
- After arriving in britain as a teenager,
- 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.329
- He faced intimidation from radical islamists, rejected
- 00:00:50.329 --> 00:00:54.266
- The lies of the iranian regime and became a fearless voice,
- 00:00:54.266 --> 00:00:58.203
- Exposing extremism, antisemitism and the dangerous
- 00:00:58.203 --> 00:01:02.374
- Alliances forming between the radical left and islamist.
- 00:01:02.374 --> 00:01:06.378
- He joins us now to explain
- 00:01:06.378 --> 00:01:07.579
- What's really happening in iran, why this uprising matters,
- 00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:11.650
- And what the west must learn before it is too late.
- 00:01:11.650 --> 00:01:15.721
- Yunus, great to see you.
- 00:01:15.721 --> 00:01:16.889
- Thanks so much for joining us.
- 00:01:16.889 --> 00:01:18.690
- Hey, you moved to the uk when you were 13 years old, but
- 00:01:18.690 --> 00:01:21.360
- You spent the early part of your life in iran.
- 00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:24.596
- What are you thinking right now as you watch countless numbers
- 00:01:24.596 --> 00:01:28.100
- Of iranians in the streets fighting for their freedom?
- 00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:31.837
- Well, erick, thanks for having m on your show.
- 00:01:32.771 --> 00:01:35.374
- And i'm both happy and sad at the same time.
- 00:01:35.374 --> 00:01:37.976
- I'll tell you why i'm happy and why i'm sad.
- 00:01:37.976 --> 00:01:39.611
- The first reason why i'm happy is that this is
- 00:01:39.611 --> 00:01:41.780
- The biggest demonstrations we've seen in the last 47 years,
- 00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:45.717
- And this has been going on for the last 47 years.
- 00:01:45.717 --> 00:01:49.288
- But every time iranian people protested,
- 00:01:49.288 --> 00:01:51.123
- There were shots and killed by the islamic republic
- 00:01:51.123 --> 00:01:53.792
- In the thousands.
- 00:01:53.792 --> 00:01:54.993
- This time is a bit different because donald trump
- 00:01:54.993 --> 00:01:57.763
- Came out and said, we are locked and loaded.
- 00:01:57.763 --> 00:02:00.365
- And that gave the confidence
- 00:02:00.365 --> 00:02:01.867
- To iranian people to come out in big numbers,
- 00:02:01.867 --> 00:02:04.169
- Expecting the united states and maybe israel to do something.
- 00:02:04.169 --> 00:02:07.472
- But two weeks have been, you know, have gone by now
- 00:02:07.472 --> 00:02:11.176
- And there has been no response by the international community,
- 00:02:11.176 --> 00:02:14.479
- Especially america and israel.
- 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.548
- And my worry is, is that after two weeks of protests,
- 00:02:16.548 --> 00:02:20.352
- These protesters might feel the fatigue,
- 00:02:20.352 --> 00:02:23.655
- Or they might get scared and intimidated
- 00:02:23.655 --> 00:02:26.058
- Not to protest anymore.
- 00:02:26.058 --> 00:02:27.292
- Because, according to the latest news
- 00:02:27.292 --> 00:02:29.161
- I have from inside iran, thousands
- 00:02:29.161 --> 00:02:31.997
- And thousands of people have died.
- 00:02:31.997 --> 00:02:33.632
- We don't know the exact number yet,
- 00:02:33.632 --> 00:02:34.967
- But the videos are slowly coming out.
- 00:02:34.967 --> 00:02:36.635
- Also, let's not forget we don't have internet
- 00:02:36.635 --> 00:02:38.770
- And even they're trying to jam.
- 00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:41.139
- Elon musk's starlink.
- 00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:43.742
- Yeah, so all those things together.
- 00:02:43.742 --> 00:02:45.110
- I think the moment to act is now,
- 00:02:45.110 --> 00:02:48.080
- If president donald trump stands by his promise
- 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.083
- And so does prime minister netanyahu,
- 00:02:51.083 --> 00:02:52.884
- Is beneficial for everyone.
- 00:02:52.884 --> 00:02:54.286
- It's beneficial for the united states, it's
- 00:02:54.286 --> 00:02:56.421
- Beneficial for israel, it's beneficial for the middle east,
- 00:02:56.421 --> 00:02:59.124
- And it's beneficial for the world as a whole
- 00:02:59.124 --> 00:03:01.026
- Because the islamic republic
- 00:03:01.026 --> 00:03:03.028
- Is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
- 00:03:03.028 --> 00:03:05.297
- Yeah, yeah.
- 00:03:05.297 --> 00:03:05.998
- Yunus, great points all around.
- 00:03:05.998 --> 00:03:07.099
- And clearly the ayatollahs have crossed president
- 00:03:07.099 --> 00:03:10.202
- Trump's red line with the iranian people.
- 00:03:10.202 --> 00:03:13.305
- Do you believe welcome u.s. intervention here?
- 00:03:13.305 --> 00:03:16.008
- And by the way, it wouldn't be american boots on the ground.
- 00:03:16.008 --> 00:03:18.877
- These would be surgical strikes like we saw on june
- 00:03:18.877 --> 00:03:21.780
- When the united states destroyed iran's nuclear weapons sites.
- 00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:25.651
- Yeah.
- 00:03:25.884 --> 00:03:26.852
- So, look, we don't want boots on the ground.
- 00:03:26.852 --> 00:03:28.120
- I think the boots on the ground are iranian peoples themselves.
- 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.522
- Yeah.
- 00:03:30.522 --> 00:03:31.523
- And what we need, though, is aerial strikes.
- 00:03:31.523 --> 00:03:33.225
- Exactly what happened during the 12 day war.
- 00:03:33.225 --> 00:03:35.961
- What's israeli government done?
- 00:03:35.961 --> 00:03:37.696
- And also what, president trump done with the b-2 bombers
- 00:03:37.696 --> 00:03:40.832
- Targeting nuclear sites.
- 00:03:40.832 --> 00:03:42.000
- So i think that was a great move.
- 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.603
- However, during the 12 day war, i think
- 00:03:44.603 --> 00:03:46.471
- Iranian people were in shock.
- 00:03:46.471 --> 00:03:47.839
- They didn't know what quite to expect.
- 00:03:47.839 --> 00:03:50.142
- We exposed two major things.
- 00:03:50.142 --> 00:03:51.643
- The first thing i expose
- 00:03:51.643 --> 00:03:52.778
- Is that
- 00:03:52.778 --> 00:03:54.012
- The islamic republic is not as powerful as it claims to be.
- 00:03:54.012 --> 00:03:57.149
- They just got a big slap by israel
- 00:03:57.149 --> 00:03:59.251
- And by america on the international stage.
- 00:03:59.251 --> 00:04:01.353
- So that whole facade that they had, this paper tiger
- 00:04:01.353 --> 00:04:05.023
- Was exposed.
- 00:04:05.023 --> 00:04:06.224
- But also the second thing is that it gave confidence
- 00:04:06.224 --> 00:04:08.994
- To the iranian people inside iran
- 00:04:08.994 --> 00:04:10.462
- Because they thought to themselves,
- 00:04:10.462 --> 00:04:11.630
- All these guys can do is to kill innocent iranian civilians
- 00:04:11.630 --> 00:04:15.467
- When it comes to if they don't actually do anything.
- 00:04:15.467 --> 00:04:17.502
- So that actually gave them the courage
- 00:04:17.502 --> 00:04:19.204
- To build up the courage for them
- 00:04:19.204 --> 00:04:20.539
- To come to the streets and protest.
- 00:04:20.539 --> 00:04:22.541
- But we shall not betray iranian people.
- 00:04:22.541 --> 00:04:25.677
- They have held their side of the bargain to america and israel.
- 00:04:25.677 --> 00:04:30.849
- We're waiting for iranians to protest.
- 00:04:30.849 --> 00:04:33.151
- And now they've been protesting for two weeks.
- 00:04:33.151 --> 00:04:35.020
- And unfortunately, so far we have had no response.
- 00:04:35.020 --> 00:04:37.422
- Yeah, units. well, hopefully that changes number one.
- 00:04:37.422 --> 00:04:39.391
- Number two, as you said, the iranian regime was exposed
- 00:04:39.391 --> 00:04:42.394
- As a paper tiger back in june.
- 00:04:42.394 --> 00:04:45.597
- Look, you lived the first 12, 13 years of your life in iran.
- 00:04:45.597 --> 00:04:49.534
- Tell us, number one, people may forget modern day iran.
- 00:04:49.534 --> 00:04:52.637
- That was ancient persia.
- 00:04:52.637 --> 00:04:54.172
- There is a rich and ancient great culture
- 00:04:54.172 --> 00:04:57.509
- In the nation of iran.
- 00:04:57.509 --> 00:04:58.777
- Tell us a bit about that
- 00:04:58.777 --> 00:04:59.745
- Number one and how the ayatollahs,
- 00:04:59.745 --> 00:05:01.680
- The mullahs, have tried
- 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.181
- To destroy that great heritage of the people of iran.
- 00:05:03.181 --> 00:05:08.620
- Yes. i
- 00:05:08.820 --> 00:05:09.688
- Would like to start off by saying
- 00:05:09.688 --> 00:05:10.789
- Iran is one of the richest countries in the world,
- 00:05:10.789 --> 00:05:12.624
- Is one of the most beautiful countries
- 00:05:12.624 --> 00:05:14.059
- In the world in terms of culture.
- 00:05:14.059 --> 00:05:15.293
- We have a civilization that goes back 7000 years,
- 00:05:15.293 --> 00:05:18.897
- And i think we were the first of a state
- 00:05:18.897 --> 00:05:21.533
- That was sort of institutionalized
- 00:05:21.533 --> 00:05:23.101
- During cyrus the great.
- 00:05:23.101 --> 00:05:24.102
- So we have a very rich history.
- 00:05:24.102 --> 00:05:26.972
- We're not even muslim.
- 00:05:26.972 --> 00:05:27.939
- We're the austrian,
- 00:05:27.939 --> 00:05:28.807
- Even though a majority of iranians
- 00:05:28.807 --> 00:05:30.275
- Are not even religious anymore, because the islamic republic
- 00:05:30.275 --> 00:05:32.778
- Has tried to force islam down people's throats for the last 47
- 00:05:32.778 --> 00:05:35.947
- Years, to the point now they are rejecting it.
- 00:05:35.947 --> 00:05:38.383
- But what is sad is that 47 years ago
- 00:05:38.383 --> 00:05:41.253
- We were overtaken by a bunch of islamic
- 00:05:41.253 --> 00:05:44.389
- Terrorists, islamic jihadis, based on a lie
- 00:05:44.389 --> 00:05:48.927
- That was perpetrated actually by president carter.
- 00:05:48.927 --> 00:05:52.431
- And it was all to do with the price of oil.
- 00:05:52.431 --> 00:05:54.366
- So it was the democrats that actually caused the revolution
- 00:05:54.366 --> 00:05:57.502
- With with the help of the bbc at this moment in time
- 00:05:57.502 --> 00:06:01.106
- To bring it home.
- 00:06:01.106 --> 00:06:02.107
- And guess what khomeini done?
- 00:06:02.107 --> 00:06:03.241
- He backstopped the west as soon as he got into power.
- 00:06:03.241 --> 00:06:05.844
- You took an american hostages. and that's why we had a war.
- 00:06:05.844 --> 00:06:08.380
- Iran-iraq war.
- 00:06:08.380 --> 00:06:09.815
- Yeah. so after seven years.
- 00:06:09.815 --> 00:06:12.150
- Look, i had great, fond memories of me being a child,
- 00:06:13.218 --> 00:06:16.388
- But i also have some bad memories
- 00:06:16.388 --> 00:06:17.889
- Of how the islamic republic, you know, people in the west,
- 00:06:17.889 --> 00:06:20.592
- They don't know what oppression is.
- 00:06:20.592 --> 00:06:21.893
- They don't really don't
- 00:06:21.893 --> 00:06:23.228
- They don't know what, like what it feels like
- 00:06:23.228 --> 00:06:25.230
- For the government to be involved in your life
- 00:06:25.230 --> 00:06:26.965
- Ever since you're born.
- 00:06:26.965 --> 00:06:28.467
- You know, i'm
- 00:06:28.467 --> 00:06:29.534
- Trying to instill fear in you everywhere you go,
- 00:06:29.534 --> 00:06:32.237
- From your schooling system to the streets to everything.
- 00:06:32.237 --> 00:06:35.373
- So, you know, we don't have freedom of speech in iran.
- 00:06:35.373 --> 00:06:38.109
- You know, the slightest thing,
- 00:06:38.109 --> 00:06:39.511
- The slightest thing you say
- 00:06:39.511 --> 00:06:40.479
- Online could land you in jail and hanged.
- 00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:43.682
- So imagine how much courage
- 00:06:43.682 --> 00:06:45.317
- It takes for people to come to the streets to protest when you,
- 00:06:45.317 --> 00:06:48.720
- When they know there's a chance they could get shot and killed.
- 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:52.457
- Or maybe if their video is released,
- 00:06:52.457 --> 00:06:54.626
- They could,
- 00:06:54.626 --> 00:06:55.193
- You know, be arrested
- 00:06:55.193 --> 00:06:56.428
- And then take it to prison and get hacked.
- 00:06:56.428 --> 00:06:58.964
- Yeah.
- 00:06:58.964 --> 00:06:59.598
- So the people in the west
- 00:06:59.598 --> 00:07:00.932
- Just don't know the realities of that.
- 00:07:00.932 --> 00:07:02.234
- So this is why, i mean, the iranian people have,
- 00:07:02.234 --> 00:07:04.135
- You know, they've shown great courage for the last two weeks,
- 00:07:04.135 --> 00:07:07.706
- And we shouldn't betray them.
- 00:07:07.706 --> 00:07:08.773
- The international community shouldn't betray them.
- 00:07:08.773 --> 00:07:11.409
- No doubt.
- 00:07:11.409 --> 00:07:12.477
- And the mainstream media is largely silent.
- 00:07:12.477 --> 00:07:14.980
- Shamefully so. younes.
- 00:07:14.980 --> 00:07:16.681
- Hey. about 30s left.
- 00:07:16.681 --> 00:07:19.284
- Last thought here.
- 00:07:19.284 --> 00:07:20.852
- This is a cautionary tale for the west,
- 00:07:20.852 --> 00:07:22.587
- I believe, where islam is rising.
- 00:07:22.587 --> 00:07:24.322
- Radical islamism in the west.
- 00:07:24.322 --> 00:07:26.525
- Again, this seems like a golden opportunity to push the world's
- 00:07:26.525 --> 00:07:30.629
- Number one state sponsor of islamic terrorism out the door.
- 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:34.399
- And it's an opportunity we shouldn't miss about.
- 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.735
- 30s left your final thoughts.
- 00:07:36.735 --> 00:07:38.737
- So look what happened during 1979.
- 00:07:39.471 --> 00:07:41.773
- It was an unholy marriage of marxism and islamism.
- 00:07:41.773 --> 00:07:44.976
- And that's exactly what is happening
- 00:07:44.976 --> 00:07:46.311
- Now in the west is the unholy marriage
- 00:07:46.311 --> 00:07:48.113
- Of wokeism and islamism.
- 00:07:48.113 --> 00:07:49.948
- And ironically, it's actually a lot of the funding
- 00:07:49.948 --> 00:07:52.651
- That's guitar
- 00:07:52.651 --> 00:07:53.685
- Has is actually coming from the islamic republic,
- 00:07:53.685 --> 00:07:56.054
- Because they share a gas field in the persian gulf,
- 00:07:56.054 --> 00:07:58.657
- But because iran is on the sanctions,
- 00:07:58.657 --> 00:08:00.592
- Qatar takes the money and then gives a check
- 00:08:00.592 --> 00:08:02.594
- To the islamic republic.
- 00:08:02.594 --> 00:08:03.862
- But all these destabilizing forces in the west,
- 00:08:03.862 --> 00:08:07.399
- Sponsored by qatar, is actually coming
- 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.267
- From the islamic republic.
- 00:08:09.267 --> 00:08:10.802
- So islamic republic
- 00:08:10.802 --> 00:08:12.170
- Is the head of the snake, and it's in your self-interest
- 00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:15.373
- To cut off the head of the snake. younes.
- 00:08:15.373 --> 00:08:17.442
- Well said. great points all around, my friend.
- 00:08:17.442 --> 00:08:19.344
- Keep up your great work folks.
- 00:08:19.344 --> 00:08:20.946
- Be sure to follow us on instagram x across social media
- 00:08:20.946 --> 00:08:25.283
- Younes god bless!
- 00:08:25.283 --> 00:08:26.451
- Hopefully next time we talk we will have a free iran.
- 00:08:26.451 --> 00:08:29.054
- We'll see you again soon.
- 00:08:29.054 --> 00:08:30.088
- And coming up after the break,
- 00:08:30.088 --> 00:08:31.423
- We're talking about a revival among the people of iran.
- 00:08:31.423 --> 00:08:34.893
- What about revival here in america?
- 00:08:34.893 --> 00:08:37.562
- Frank turek joins us next.
- 00:08:37.562 --> 00:08:40.131
- Stick around.
- 00:08:40.131 --> 00:08:42.996
- Stick around.
- 00:08:42.996 --> 00:08:46.237
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:08:47.005 --> 00:08:48.807
- Turning points annual and fest looked very different this year,
- 00:08:48.807 --> 00:08:52.444
- But while turning point founder charlie kirk was not there
- 00:08:52.444 --> 00:08:56.047
- Physically, his presence, his legacy and his impact
- 00:08:56.047 --> 00:08:59.851
- Were unmistakable.
- 00:08:59.851 --> 00:09:01.086
- From the thousands
- 00:09:01.086 --> 00:09:01.920
- Of young people in attendance
- 00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:03.288
- To the bold emphasis on faith, freedom and truth,
- 00:09:03.288 --> 00:09:06.791
- Charlie's lasting influence loomed large over every moment.
- 00:09:06.791 --> 00:09:10.629
- While it at first i sat down with pastor frank turek,
- 00:09:10.629 --> 00:09:13.732
- Who knew charlie
- 00:09:13.732 --> 00:09:14.766
- Well and was with him on the day he was martyred.
- 00:09:14.766 --> 00:09:17.969
- We talked about charlie's
- 00:09:17.969 --> 00:09:19.070
- Enduring legacy, the surge of young people
- 00:09:19.070 --> 00:09:21.339
- Coming to faith in the wake of his death,
- 00:09:21.339 --> 00:09:23.575
- And why the fight for the gospel and the future of this
- 00:09:23.575 --> 00:09:26.244
- Nation are connected now more than ever.
- 00:09:26.244 --> 00:09:29.414
- Take a look.
- 00:09:29.748 --> 00:09:32.317
- Pastor frank turek, always great to see you.
- 00:09:32.317 --> 00:09:34.619
- And hey, we're here at am fest and charlie kirk, his memory.
- 00:09:34.619 --> 00:09:38.923
- He's not here.
- 00:09:38.923 --> 00:09:39.824
- Obviously in physically, but his memory.
- 00:09:39.824 --> 00:09:42.060
- His legacy.
- 00:09:42.060 --> 00:09:42.694
- Pastor frank looms large.
- 00:09:42.694 --> 00:09:45.230
- You're very close to charlie.
- 00:09:45.230 --> 00:09:46.498
- Or within the day he was martyred.
- 00:09:46.498 --> 00:09:48.633
- Talk about his legacy.
- 00:09:48.633 --> 00:09:50.001
- How we see it here at am fest.
- 00:09:50.001 --> 00:09:51.936
- Still, how his presence is still felt.
- 00:09:51.936 --> 00:09:55.106
- His presence is still felt
- 00:09:55.106 --> 00:09:56.474
- Through this amazing staff that he handpicked erica.
- 00:09:56.474 --> 00:10:00.211
- You know, he was a great judge of talent.
- 00:10:00.211 --> 00:10:04.349
- And you really got to come to am fest to experience it
- 00:10:04.349 --> 00:10:07.252
- And understand what an amazing event it is.
- 00:10:07.252 --> 00:10:11.256
- Many people
- 00:10:11.589 --> 00:10:12.657
- Probably saw online or on tv the memorial service.
- 00:10:12.657 --> 00:10:16.528
- Yeah, that memorial service was planned nine days
- 00:10:16.528 --> 00:10:19.497
- In nine days, with his whole team in mourning.
- 00:10:19.497 --> 00:10:23.368
- But they pulled that amazing event off
- 00:10:23.368 --> 00:10:25.904
- Because charlie was a great judge of character.
- 00:10:25.904 --> 00:10:29.140
- And so he knew how to pick the right people.
- 00:10:29.140 --> 00:10:32.143
- And so
- 00:10:32.143 --> 00:10:33.411
- His legacy is going to continue because he has the right people
- 00:10:33.411 --> 00:10:35.513
- In place,
- 00:10:35.513 --> 00:10:36.715
- Including his wife, erica, who many people don't know this,
- 00:10:36.715 --> 00:10:39.584
- But erica was a successful businesswoman
- 00:10:39.584 --> 00:10:41.653
- Before she ever met charlie.
- 00:10:41.653 --> 00:10:43.088
- She had two of her own businesses.
- 00:10:43.088 --> 00:10:45.123
- So she's going to be able to lead this.
- 00:10:45.123 --> 00:10:47.692
- Nobody can replace charlie, obviously,
- 00:10:47.692 --> 00:10:49.994
- But she's going to be able to lead the fantastic staff.
- 00:10:49.994 --> 00:10:52.497
- It's going to keep going.
- 00:10:52.497 --> 00:10:53.698
- We're going to continue to save souls and save the country.
- 00:10:53.698 --> 00:10:57.135
- In death, he's one of those rare cases
- 00:10:57.135 --> 00:10:58.970
- Where his legacy, he may have more impact in death
- 00:10:58.970 --> 00:11:02.240
- Than he did in life.
- 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.541
- Talk about that impact on gen z in particular, before charlie's
- 00:11:03.541 --> 00:11:07.779
- Death, bringing
- 00:11:07.779 --> 00:11:08.880
- Gen z into the fold for the lord, for conservatism.
- 00:11:08.880 --> 00:11:11.683
- But in the wake of his death, we see thousands
- 00:11:11.683 --> 00:11:13.918
- Upon thousands of young people inspired by charlie.
- 00:11:13.918 --> 00:11:16.755
- Come the turning point and coming to the lord.
- 00:11:16.755 --> 00:11:19.457
- Yeah, they are.
- 00:11:19.457 --> 00:11:20.391
- And that is the mark of a great man,
- 00:11:20.391 --> 00:11:23.828
- That you really realize his greatness after he's gone.
- 00:11:23.828 --> 00:11:27.031
- Yeah, when you think about it.
- 00:11:27.031 --> 00:11:28.533
- And god can bring good from evil
- 00:11:28.533 --> 00:11:30.368
- And is bring in good from evil, there's always a ripple effect.
- 00:11:30.368 --> 00:11:32.871
- In charlie's case, it's a tsunami
- 00:11:32.871 --> 00:11:35.006
- That there is good coming from an awful act.
- 00:11:35.006 --> 00:11:39.277
- Yeah.
- 00:11:39.277 --> 00:11:40.145
- And look, if charlie were here today
- 00:11:40.145 --> 00:11:41.379
- And we were to say to charlie, charlie, in order for 100 people
- 00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:44.783
- To come to faith, you've got to give up your life.
- 00:11:44.783 --> 00:11:47.285
- He go, sign me up.
- 00:11:47.285 --> 00:11:48.253
- I don't want to leave erica and the kids,
- 00:11:48.253 --> 00:11:49.521
- But that's what my life's about anyway.
- 00:11:49.521 --> 00:11:51.356
- Well, it's a lot more than 100.
- 00:11:51.356 --> 00:11:53.091
- There's thousands, maybe millions
- 00:11:53.091 --> 00:11:54.893
- That have come to faith because of charlie kirk.
- 00:11:54.893 --> 00:11:57.295
- Is a great harvest. yes.
- 00:11:57.295 --> 00:11:59.330
- The nation writ large.
- 00:11:59.330 --> 00:12:00.632
- Pastor frank, taking a larger view,
- 00:12:00.632 --> 00:12:03.334
- You've spoken out against the woke madness,
- 00:12:03.334 --> 00:12:05.203
- The lgbtq, a whatever madness for years.
- 00:12:05.203 --> 00:12:08.973
- Do you sense a shift here and a turning of the tide?
- 00:12:08.973 --> 00:12:11.242
- Obviously, president trump winning last year.
- 00:12:11.242 --> 00:12:13.778
- Charlie's death had the opposite effect.
- 00:12:13.778 --> 00:12:15.980
- I think of what the enemy intended.
- 00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:18.049
- Do you sense a shift here against the woke madness,
- 00:12:18.049 --> 00:12:20.718
- Especially among young people in america?
- 00:12:20.718 --> 00:12:22.654
- I think that is happening.
- 00:12:22.654 --> 00:12:24.022
- But we have to be diligent.
- 00:12:24.022 --> 00:12:25.356
- Yeah, because evil never rests. yeah.
- 00:12:25.356 --> 00:12:27.358
- You probably heard people say
- 00:12:27.358 --> 00:12:29.260
- That the only thing necessary for evil
- 00:12:29.260 --> 00:12:31.129
- To prevail is for good people to do nothing.
- 00:12:31.129 --> 00:12:34.399
- Well, people out there who are christians,
- 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.969
- You need to get engaged.
- 00:12:37.969 --> 00:12:39.737
- You need to get engaged
- 00:12:39.737 --> 00:12:40.705
- In every area of life, including politics.
- 00:12:40.705 --> 00:12:43.007
- Yeah, because politics affect
- 00:12:43.007 --> 00:12:44.442
- Your ability to preach and live the gospel.
- 00:12:44.442 --> 00:12:46.578
- Yeah.
- 00:12:46.578 --> 00:12:47.212
- And i always tell people,
- 00:12:47.212 --> 00:12:48.279
- If you
- 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:49.013
- If you say
- 00:12:49.013 --> 00:12:49.948
- All i do is preach the gospel, i say to them,
- 00:12:49.948 --> 00:12:51.416
- I guess you don't think
- 00:12:51.416 --> 00:12:52.250
- The gospel is very important then,
- 00:12:52.250 --> 00:12:54.052
- Because if you go to
- 00:12:54.052 --> 00:12:55.720
- Some of the countries i've been to, i've been to iran,
- 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.856
- I've been to saudi arabia, i've been to china.
- 00:12:57.856 --> 00:12:59.490
- I just got back from egypt.
- 00:12:59.490 --> 00:13:01.659
- You can't preach the gospel or live as a christian
- 00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:04.729
- As freely in those countries as you can.
- 00:13:04.729 --> 00:13:07.265
- You know, there's no first baptist church of riyadh.
- 00:13:07.265 --> 00:13:10.134
- There's no calvary chapel of tehran. why?
- 00:13:10.134 --> 00:13:12.737
- Because politically they've ruled it out.
- 00:13:12.737 --> 00:13:15.473
- And yet these people who are trying to say
- 00:13:15.473 --> 00:13:18.009
- We ought not get involved in politics
- 00:13:18.009 --> 00:13:19.677
- And say, i'm just preaching the gospel,
- 00:13:19.677 --> 00:13:21.212
- They don't realize how important
- 00:13:21.212 --> 00:13:23.181
- The politics are to the gospel.
- 00:13:23.181 --> 00:13:25.016
- In fact, charlie used to say this all the time, erick.
- 00:13:25.016 --> 00:13:26.918
- He used to say,
- 00:13:26.918 --> 00:13:28.586
- Politics is not our most important duty,
- 00:13:28.586 --> 00:13:30.989
- But it helps us do our most important duty.
- 00:13:30.989 --> 00:13:33.558
- Amen. right.
- 00:13:33.558 --> 00:13:35.226
- And so he was very wise to say aye, ma'am,
- 00:13:35.226 --> 00:13:38.096
- If i'm going to save souls.
- 00:13:38.096 --> 00:13:39.664
- I also got to save the nation.
- 00:13:39.664 --> 00:13:41.532
- That gives me the freedom to save souls. yeah.
- 00:13:41.532 --> 00:13:43.768
- And we talk about saudi arabia, egypt, china.
- 00:13:43.768 --> 00:13:45.837
- But pastor frank, i look at the uk right now,
- 00:13:45.837 --> 00:13:48.706
- Australia cracking down on people preaching
- 00:13:48.706 --> 00:13:51.309
- The gospel, hate speech codes, supposed islamophobia laws.
- 00:13:51.309 --> 00:13:55.413
- How concerned are you about what
- 00:13:55.413 --> 00:13:56.748
- We're seeing across the western world?
- 00:13:56.748 --> 00:13:58.449
- Which look was the base for the gospel?
- 00:13:58.449 --> 00:14:00.418
- The gospel went out from the west for years.
- 00:14:00.418 --> 00:14:02.587
- How concerned are you about the state of judeo
- 00:14:02.587 --> 00:14:05.023
- Christian western civilization?
- 00:14:05.023 --> 00:14:07.058
- Very concerned.
- 00:14:07.058 --> 00:14:08.293
- So concerned that i agree with an atheist like richard dawkins
- 00:14:08.293 --> 00:14:11.362
- Who said i'm a cultural christian.
- 00:14:11.362 --> 00:14:13.431
- He doesn't want islam to take over.
- 00:14:13.431 --> 00:14:15.667
- If islam takes over, he loses his own rights.
- 00:14:15.667 --> 00:14:18.336
- Yeah, he realizes that christianity
- 00:14:18.336 --> 00:14:20.538
- Is the right worldview.
- 00:14:20.538 --> 00:14:21.806
- And christianity, even though he doesn't believe it's true.
- 00:14:21.806 --> 00:14:23.975
- He knows it's it's it's, it's effective and helpful for him.
- 00:14:23.975 --> 00:14:28.479
- Right?
- 00:14:28.479 --> 00:14:29.314
- Christianity is the only worldview
- 00:14:29.314 --> 00:14:30.515
- That's going to protect human rights.
- 00:14:30.515 --> 00:14:31.683
- You're not going to get them from islam
- 00:14:31.683 --> 00:14:32.917
- If you're not a muslim, you're second class citizen.
- 00:14:32.917 --> 00:14:34.819
- If you're a woman, you're already a second class citizen.
- 00:14:34.819 --> 00:14:37.221
- You're not going to get her from hinduism.
- 00:14:37.221 --> 00:14:38.756
- Hinduism is a caste system.
- 00:14:38.756 --> 00:14:40.325
- You're not going to get it from atheists
- 00:14:40.325 --> 00:14:41.759
- Because there is no objective morality grounded in atheism,
- 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.763
- Because there is no god.
- 00:14:45.763 --> 00:14:46.998
- You're only going to get it from christianity.
- 00:14:46.998 --> 00:14:49.534
- And once people realize this,
- 00:14:49.534 --> 00:14:51.602
- It should cause them to want to support christianity,
- 00:14:51.602 --> 00:14:54.105
- Even if they're not christians.
- 00:14:54.105 --> 00:14:56.541
- Coming up, young americans
- 00:14:57.108 --> 00:14:58.643
- Are rejecting woke ideology and embracing biblical truth.
- 00:14:58.643 --> 00:15:03.281
- After the break, pastor lucas miles on why the cultural tide
- 00:15:03.281 --> 00:15:06.651
- May finally be turning and why this moment is critical.
- 00:15:06.651 --> 00:15:10.989
- Stay with us.
- 00:15:11.356 --> 00:15:13.989
- Stay with us.
- 00:15:13.989 --> 00:15:16.462
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:15:17.229 --> 00:15:19.098
- A powerful spiritual
- 00:15:19.098 --> 00:15:20.899
- Awakening is taking place among young americans.
- 00:15:20.899 --> 00:15:24.069
- And pastor lucas miles is at the center of it.
- 00:15:24.069 --> 00:15:27.139
- He's pastor of influence church and leads turning point usa
- 00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:30.743
- Faith, where he's helping shape the next generation for christ.
- 00:15:30.743 --> 00:15:35.214
- Take a look.
- 00:15:35.547 --> 00:15:37.816
- Tell us about the incredible emphasis on faith.
- 00:15:37.816 --> 00:15:40.419
- And first, i think of yourself, greg laurie speaking,
- 00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:43.522
- Frank turek, pretty amazing line up for the gospel.
- 00:15:43.522 --> 00:15:46.692
- Yes, i've already been on stage once, this weekend.
- 00:15:46.692 --> 00:15:49.895
- And some of our other faith speakers who have as well.
- 00:15:49.895 --> 00:15:51.864
- But tonight, our faith team has taken over the stage.
- 00:15:51.864 --> 00:15:54.500
- So for about three hours of content, we have worship.
- 00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:57.536
- I'm going to be
- 00:15:57.903 --> 00:15:59.004
- Kicking off the night after that, hoping to frame,
- 00:15:59.004 --> 00:16:01.373
- Our thinking as we move into, you know, really
- 00:16:01.373 --> 00:16:04.576
- The new phase of the conservative movement.
- 00:16:04.576 --> 00:16:06.545
- Yeah.
- 00:16:06.545 --> 00:16:07.579
- Post charlie kirk and, you know, team usa faith.
- 00:16:07.579 --> 00:16:10.382
- We are dedicated
- 00:16:10.382 --> 00:16:12.017
- To seeing faith continue to be in the conversation
- 00:16:12.017 --> 00:16:15.287
- And really making sure
- 00:16:15.287 --> 00:16:16.522
- That the revival that happened after charlie's assassination
- 00:16:16.522 --> 00:16:19.258
- And martyrdom continues for a long time to come.
- 00:16:19.258 --> 00:16:21.460
- It's interesting to watch
- 00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:22.461
- Keep us puzzled trajectory over the years.
- 00:16:22.461 --> 00:16:26.365
- Maybe you didn't start with a major, major
- 00:16:26.365 --> 00:16:28.200
- Faith in this great conservative organization,
- 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.469
- But now to see faith front and center
- 00:16:30.469 --> 00:16:32.438
- Did that kind of mirror charlie's journey.
- 00:16:32.438 --> 00:16:34.106
- Over the past 100%?
- 00:16:34.106 --> 00:16:35.607
- I mean, i think charlie had an evolution
- 00:16:35.607 --> 00:16:37.309
- In his relationship with the lord.
- 00:16:37.309 --> 00:16:38.744
- I mean, he's he was a believer his whole life.
- 00:16:38.744 --> 00:16:40.546
- But i think that over the last
- 00:16:40.546 --> 00:16:42.247
- Five years, we really saw that become
- 00:16:42.247 --> 00:16:44.216
- Increasingly important to him.
- 00:16:44.216 --> 00:16:45.417
- And i think as he dove into the founding principles
- 00:16:45.417 --> 00:16:48.520
- Of our of our, you know, society and nation,
- 00:16:48.520 --> 00:16:51.857
- That that took him deeper and deeper.
- 00:16:51.857 --> 00:16:53.158
- I think his marriage with erica
- 00:16:53.158 --> 00:16:54.259
- Took him deeper and deeper in that.
- 00:16:54.259 --> 00:16:56.195
- You know, and now with erica's ceo of tp, usa,
- 00:16:56.195 --> 00:16:59.264
- You know, we're a great hands.
- 00:16:59.264 --> 00:17:00.265
- And she's committed,
- 00:17:00.265 --> 00:17:01.233
- You know, more than ever to really keeping
- 00:17:01.233 --> 00:17:02.501
- That faith legacy and, making jesus famous,
- 00:17:02.501 --> 00:17:05.304
- You know, as we move forward and.
- 00:17:05.304 --> 00:17:06.538
- Such a key point, america is founded by godly men, no doubt.
- 00:17:06.538 --> 00:17:09.942
- Talk about the transition.
- 00:17:09.942 --> 00:17:11.043
- Look, erica, at the helm now, obviously,
- 00:17:11.043 --> 00:17:13.212
- Mighty woman of god, i would say no doubt.
- 00:17:13.212 --> 00:17:15.380
- Talk about the transition.
- 00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:16.515
- Obviously difficult
- 00:17:16.515 --> 00:17:17.783
- On many levels to not have charlie here
- 00:17:17.783 --> 00:17:20.052
- At am fest, but lucas, talk about that.
- 00:17:20.052 --> 00:17:21.687
- How has it been?
- 00:17:21.687 --> 00:17:22.321
- You've had some great people
- 00:17:22.321 --> 00:17:23.489
- Helping kind of shepherd the leadership
- 00:17:23.489 --> 00:17:25.190
- Through a guy like a greg, larry like yourself
- 00:17:25.190 --> 00:17:27.559
- Talk about the difficulties with transition,
- 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.962
- But the promising things that lie ahead.
- 00:17:29.962 --> 00:17:32.564
- You know, when erica was named ceo,
- 00:17:32.564 --> 00:17:34.366
- There was a sigh of relief among the staff.
- 00:17:34.366 --> 00:17:36.335
- I mean, there's
- 00:17:36.335 --> 00:17:37.436
- A completely unified position with her in that role.
- 00:17:37.436 --> 00:17:40.172
- She has charlie's, you know, heartbeat, dna.
- 00:17:40.172 --> 00:17:43.642
- You know, that that kind of just imprints on her life.
- 00:17:43.642 --> 00:17:46.211
- She knows the vision.
- 00:17:46.211 --> 00:17:47.412
- She understands where we're going from here.
- 00:17:47.412 --> 00:17:49.481
- And, and she's so supportive.
- 00:17:49.481 --> 00:17:51.216
- Erica has been a for. i know, charlie since 2020.
- 00:17:51.216 --> 00:17:53.619
- I've been here at tpusa, faith now for, 18 months or so.
- 00:17:53.619 --> 00:17:57.856
- Working with him, he had personally recruited
- 00:17:57.856 --> 00:17:59.825
- Me and, you know, got to know erica during that time period.
- 00:17:59.825 --> 00:18:02.995
- And she is tremendous.
- 00:18:02.995 --> 00:18:04.363
- Everything that you see from her on the stage,
- 00:18:04.363 --> 00:18:06.031
- She's the real deal.
- 00:18:06.031 --> 00:18:07.065
- She loves the lord. she loves this work.
- 00:18:07.065 --> 00:18:09.234
- She loves the mission.
- 00:18:09.234 --> 00:18:10.435
- And, we're good hands moving forward.
- 00:18:10.435 --> 00:18:12.371
- Yeah.
- 00:18:12.371 --> 00:18:12.905
- You've written a lot
- 00:18:12.905 --> 00:18:13.872
- About the plague of wokeness in our society.
- 00:18:13.872 --> 00:18:15.607
- I see young people here. many who.
- 00:18:15.607 --> 00:18:17.442
- Thousands who have rejected wokeness.
- 00:18:17.442 --> 00:18:20.245
- Do you see that in saying the gender ideology?
- 00:18:20.245 --> 00:18:22.447
- All of that madness?
- 00:18:22.447 --> 00:18:23.382
- Lucas, do you see that on the decline now?
- 00:18:23.382 --> 00:18:25.951
- Is it a new day?
- 00:18:25.951 --> 00:18:26.985
- It's been proven counterfeit and bankrupt.
- 00:18:26.985 --> 00:18:29.021
- And you see young people rejecting it in large numbers.
- 00:18:29.021 --> 00:18:31.823
- I think it's and we think about where do we go from here.
- 00:18:31.823 --> 00:18:34.860
- You know,
- 00:18:34.860 --> 00:18:35.928
- I think that that ministry and and the gospel and,
- 00:18:35.928 --> 00:18:38.564
- And even the tides of nation, it's a lot like sailing.
- 00:18:38.564 --> 00:18:41.500
- You have to see where the wind's coming from. right.
- 00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:43.335
- And there's been this crosswind of wokeism for a long time.
- 00:18:43.335 --> 00:18:46.338
- It's evolving. it's changing.
- 00:18:46.338 --> 00:18:48.173
- I think that we have, thwarted a lot of the efforts
- 00:18:48.173 --> 00:18:51.243
- That are there.
- 00:18:51.243 --> 00:18:52.110
- I think people are waking up to that.
- 00:18:52.110 --> 00:18:53.512
- But, look, we're not unaware of the enemy's schemes.
- 00:18:53.512 --> 00:18:55.447
- There's something else.
- 00:18:55.447 --> 00:18:56.181
- There's been some other new,
- 00:18:56.181 --> 00:18:57.316
- You know, derivative that's going to come.
- 00:18:57.316 --> 00:18:58.817
- And so we have to be aware of that.
- 00:18:58.817 --> 00:19:00.018
- We have to always be on guard.
- 00:19:00.018 --> 00:19:01.687
- And i think that, you know, it takes a faith that
- 00:19:01.687 --> 00:19:03.522
- When i first came on the team, the first,
- 00:19:03.522 --> 00:19:05.824
- As i got to, you know, i'm a lifelong pastor
- 00:19:05.824 --> 00:19:07.960
- Of and pastor of the same church for 21 years.
- 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.795
- When i first saw this team,
- 00:19:09.795 --> 00:19:11.363
- The first emotion that i had was actually shame.
- 00:19:11.363 --> 00:19:14.933
- And when i saw these young people
- 00:19:14.933 --> 00:19:16.468
- Who weren't part of a church directly in their work
- 00:19:16.468 --> 00:19:20.038
- That were outworking most pastors in churches
- 00:19:20.038 --> 00:19:22.341
- In america for their passion for the gospel, i was like, man,
- 00:19:22.341 --> 00:19:25.777
- The church in america has to get to
- 00:19:25.777 --> 00:19:27.512
- We gotta get to some more serious business here,
- 00:19:27.512 --> 00:19:29.648
- And we're keeping that hustle going.
- 00:19:29.648 --> 00:19:31.283
- Now we have 9500 pastors who have joined with us across
- 00:19:31.283 --> 00:19:35.153
- This country.
- 00:19:35.153 --> 00:19:36.321
- We'll probably be at 10,000 here very soon.
- 00:19:36.321 --> 00:19:39.191
- That are committed to preaching the gospel,
- 00:19:39.191 --> 00:19:41.893
- The full council of the word of god
- 00:19:41.893 --> 00:19:43.295
- On cultural issues,
- 00:19:43.295 --> 00:19:44.630
- Making sure
- 00:19:44.630 --> 00:19:45.797
- That the people can think biblically when it comes to,
- 00:19:45.797 --> 00:19:48.166
- The boardroom, the bedroom at the ballot box as we move.
- 00:19:48.166 --> 00:19:51.003
- Forward, no doubt.
- 00:19:51.003 --> 00:19:52.104
- And we want to keep this momentum going.
- 00:19:52.104 --> 00:19:53.739
- Of course, charlie's death revival sparked,
- 00:19:53.739 --> 00:19:57.042
- And we want to make heaven crowded.
- 00:19:57.042 --> 00:19:59.111
- Yeah.
- 00:19:59.111 --> 00:20:00.178
- And that's the title of an incredible new series
- 00:20:00.178 --> 00:20:01.880
- You'll have in 2026, will be traveling around the country.
- 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.149
- Tell us more about that.
- 00:20:04.149 --> 00:20:04.983
- Yeah, we originally we're planning
- 00:20:04.983 --> 00:20:06.318
- A large, single event in 2026.
- 00:20:06.318 --> 00:20:09.354
- And after the memorial,
- 00:20:09.354 --> 00:20:11.390
- As we started talking to go with the team
- 00:20:11.390 --> 00:20:13.225
- And with erica's leadership,
- 00:20:13.225 --> 00:20:14.893
- We came up with this, this tour to really grab
- 00:20:14.893 --> 00:20:17.696
- A hold of kind of that mantra of make heaven crowded.
- 00:20:17.696 --> 00:20:20.499
- We're going
- 00:20:20.499 --> 00:20:21.500
- Be going about 30 cities across the country,
- 00:20:21.500 --> 00:20:23.168
- Major churches, a lot of these venues.
- 00:20:23.168 --> 00:20:25.137
- You're going to see the anywhere from 2500 people to,
- 00:20:25.137 --> 00:20:27.439
- You know, 6000 or more people.
- 00:20:27.439 --> 00:20:29.374
- Our first one is going to be a pastor
- 00:20:29.374 --> 00:20:30.776
- Greg laurie's church on january 21st.
- 00:20:30.776 --> 00:20:32.778
- We have a great lineup.
- 00:20:32.778 --> 00:20:34.012
- Not ready to announce all the names there,
- 00:20:34.012 --> 00:20:35.714
- But i have a good feeling you're going to see erica there.
- 00:20:35.714 --> 00:20:37.416
- You're going to see me there.
- 00:20:37.416 --> 00:20:38.617
- Very good worship. you know, this could be part of that.
- 00:20:38.617 --> 00:20:40.752
- And a lot of your favorite faith speakers from across
- 00:20:40.752 --> 00:20:42.754
- The country are joining onto these tours,
- 00:20:42.754 --> 00:20:44.556
- And it'll be different speakers in every stop that we do.
- 00:20:44.556 --> 00:20:47.159
- And it's going to be incredible time.
- 00:20:47.159 --> 00:20:48.860
- And we're hoping to really continue and steward
- 00:20:48.860 --> 00:20:50.562
- Well that spirit of revival across the nation.
- 00:20:50.562 --> 00:20:52.364
- Yeah. amazing.
- 00:20:52.364 --> 00:20:53.498
- And you feel i think the spiritual warfare
- 00:20:53.498 --> 00:20:56.201
- Right now is palpable.
- 00:20:56.201 --> 00:20:57.502
- Do you feel that, lucas i mean, is swirling around
- 00:20:57.502 --> 00:20:59.938
- Trying to take turning point down and cause division?
- 00:20:59.938 --> 00:21:02.107
- Do you feel that spiritual warfare intensified.
- 00:21:02.107 --> 00:21:04.710
- After that memorial that evening?
- 00:21:04.710 --> 00:21:06.411
- I have a staff about 40 on the faith team
- 00:21:06.411 --> 00:21:08.680
- Here, at turning point and we met for kind of a
- 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.616
- Almost like a week dinner, you know, it was
- 00:21:11.616 --> 00:21:13.452
- We all got together and just laugh, cried, talked, visited.
- 00:21:13.452 --> 00:21:16.922
- We're all over the country and so we don't
- 00:21:16.922 --> 00:21:18.824
- Get to be in the same place very often.
- 00:21:18.824 --> 00:21:20.792
- And i shared with him that night.
- 00:21:20.792 --> 00:21:22.194
- I said it was just really on my heart
- 00:21:22.194 --> 00:21:23.595
- That i said, look, as much as we feel unity right
- 00:21:23.595 --> 00:21:25.831
- Now, this might be the most
- 00:21:25.831 --> 00:21:26.798
- Unified the church in the world has ever been.
- 00:21:26.798 --> 00:21:29.568
- And certainly the most people have ever heard
- 00:21:29.568 --> 00:21:30.969
- The gospel at one time was a charlie's memorial,
- 00:21:30.969 --> 00:21:33.138
- You know, have upwards of,
- 00:21:33.138 --> 00:21:34.539
- You know, they're saying close to a billion
- 00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:35.807
- People have watched that memorial service.
- 00:21:35.807 --> 00:21:37.442
- Now, and i heard the gospel and heard the gospel.
- 00:21:37.442 --> 00:21:40.345
- From members of the trump administration.
- 00:21:40.345 --> 00:21:41.847
- And you people like don junior and marco rubio preach it more.
- 00:21:41.847 --> 00:21:44.850
- You know,
- 00:21:44.850 --> 00:21:46.084
- You know, stronger messages that most pastors are very morning.
- 00:21:46.084 --> 00:21:48.954
- And, it was absolutely incredible.
- 00:21:48.954 --> 00:21:50.455
- And but i told him, i said, look, it's amazing.
- 00:21:50.455 --> 00:21:52.090
- This is we're not unaware of what the enemy wants to do.
- 00:21:52.090 --> 00:21:54.459
- But you know what? we've got more resolved than ever.
- 00:21:54.459 --> 00:21:56.828
- And i think that as a believer, especially when you die
- 00:21:56.828 --> 00:21:58.964
- To yourself, you recognize
- 00:21:58.964 --> 00:22:00.332
- I've already been crucified with christ.
- 00:22:00.332 --> 00:22:01.733
- The worst they could do is kill me.
- 00:22:01.733 --> 00:22:03.268
- And that ain't so bad. i get to go be with jesus.
- 00:22:03.268 --> 00:22:05.370
- And so we're going to keep this thing going,
- 00:22:05.370 --> 00:22:06.838
- And we're just asking for people around the nation.
- 00:22:06.838 --> 00:22:08.740
- Join with us in prayer, you know, continue this spirit.
- 00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:11.042
- It's what charlie worked hard for.
- 00:22:11.042 --> 00:22:12.577
- And we're picking up the baton,
- 00:22:12.577 --> 00:22:13.912
- And we're gonna work harder than ever.
- 00:22:13.912 --> 00:22:16.281
- Coming up.
- 00:22:16.581 --> 00:22:17.416
- We're talking revival in america.
- 00:22:17.416 --> 00:22:19.084
- But what could revival do for iran?
- 00:22:19.084 --> 00:22:22.421
- My final thoughts on that next.
- 00:22:22.421 --> 00:22:25.998
- My final thoughts on that next.
- 00:22:25.998 --> 00:22:29.629
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:30.496 --> 00:22:32.231
- As we wrap up, i'm
- 00:22:32.231 --> 00:22:33.299
- Thinking about the situation right now in iran.
- 00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:35.501
- And i think of psalms chapter 33, verse 12.
- 00:22:35.501 --> 00:22:38.371
- Blessed is a nation whose god is the lord,
- 00:22:38.371 --> 00:22:41.641
- The people he chose for his inheritance.
- 00:22:41.641 --> 00:22:44.510
- Now the nation of iran has a mighty inheritance.
- 00:22:44.510 --> 00:22:47.980
- It is a bible land, modern day iran.
- 00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:50.349
- We've talked about a bunch here in the show.
- 00:22:50.349 --> 00:22:52.084
- That was ancient persia.
- 00:22:52.084 --> 00:22:53.319
- We're talking esther, mordecai, cyrus, darius, ezra, nehemiah,
- 00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:57.290
- All of those stories from your bible
- 00:22:57.290 --> 00:22:59.058
- Went down in ancient persia again.
- 00:22:59.058 --> 00:23:01.661
- That's modern day iran.
- 00:23:01.661 --> 00:23:03.062
- And the church
- 00:23:03.062 --> 00:23:04.096
- There is growing by leaps and bounds underground.
- 00:23:04.096 --> 00:23:07.133
- But they are growing by leaps and bounds.
- 00:23:07.133 --> 00:23:09.101
- So god, i believe, is not done with iran.
- 00:23:09.101 --> 00:23:12.371
- He has an inheritance for that land.
- 00:23:12.371 --> 00:23:14.006
- So keep iran in your prayers right now.
- 00:23:14.006 --> 00:23:16.542
- Hey, tomorrow night some great israel talk and breakdowns.
- 00:23:16.542 --> 00:23:19.111
- Brook goldstein. rabbi pesach will look here with us.
- 00:23:19.111 --> 00:23:21.781
- Until then, god bless you.
- 00:23:21.781 --> 00:23:24.584
- We'll see you soon.
- 00:23:24.584 --> 00:23:24.584
