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: The Future of The Nation | Stakelbeck Tonight | May 27, 2026

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:03.193 --> 00:00:04.928
I'm erick stakelbeck.
00:00:04.928 --> 00:00:06.062
And we've got an update
00:00:06.062 --> 00:00:07.330
On a congressional race we told you about last week,
00:00:07.330 --> 00:00:10.667
Featuring an unhinged anti-semitic candidate,
00:00:10.667 --> 00:00:14.671
Maureen galindo, who was running to represent
00:00:14.671 --> 00:00:17.173
Texass 35th congressional district.
00:00:17.173 --> 00:00:19.976
Lost in last night's democrat primary.
00:00:19.976 --> 00:00:23.146
As we shared with you last week, galindo, who's been described
00:00:23.146 --> 00:00:26.349
As a progressive sex therapist, recently called
00:00:26.349 --> 00:00:30.420
For all american zionists to be thrown in prison camps.
00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:34.724
Now, by american zionist, i assume she meant
00:00:34.724 --> 00:00:37.460
Not only jews,
00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:38.695
But bible
00:00:38.695 --> 00:00:39.863
Believing christians who support the existence of israel.
00:00:39.863 --> 00:00:42.866
Thrown in prison.
00:00:43.299 --> 00:00:44.901
Folks, galindo is a dangerously fringe person,
00:00:44.901 --> 00:00:48.304
And yet
00:00:48.304 --> 00:00:49.539
She nearly became the democrat nominee for a congressional seat
00:00:49.539 --> 00:00:53.243
In texas.
00:00:53.243 --> 00:00:54.511
While galindo failed in her attempt to join fellow
00:00:54.511 --> 00:00:57.080
Democrats like aoc and ilhan omar on capitol hill.
00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:01.484
The lone star
00:01:01.484 --> 00:01:02.685
State has another race that's drawing national attention
00:01:02.685 --> 00:01:06.022
Because it features the most woke candidate
00:01:06.022 --> 00:01:08.858
To ever run for the u.s. senate.
00:01:08.858 --> 00:01:11.561
Democrat james talarico will take on ken paxton
00:01:11.561 --> 00:01:14.931
In november after paxton defeated incumbent john
00:01:14.931 --> 00:01:18.101
Cornyn in tuesday's republican primary.
00:01:18.101 --> 00:01:21.137
A few things you should know about talarico,
00:01:21.137 --> 00:01:24.007
Since you'll be hearing a lot about this senate race
00:01:24.007 --> 00:01:26.676
Over the next five months.
00:01:26.676 --> 00:01:28.478
He's a presbyterian seminarian who holds some very,
00:01:28.478 --> 00:01:32.315
Let's just say, unbiblical views.
00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:35.685
Here's a few of his greatest hits.
00:01:35.685 --> 00:01:38.454
God is both masculine and feminine
00:01:38.454 --> 00:01:42.058
And everything in between.
00:01:42.625 --> 00:01:44.961
God is non-binary.
00:01:44.961 --> 00:01:47.797
I want us all to
00:01:48.198 --> 00:01:49.265
Be aware of is that that modern science obviously
00:01:49.265 --> 00:01:52.302
Recognizes that there are many more than two biological sex.
00:01:52.302 --> 00:01:56.706
In fact, there are six.
00:01:56.706 --> 00:01:57.740
Our trans community needs abortion care to.
00:01:57.740 --> 00:02:01.211
Defending trans texans is something
00:02:01.211 --> 00:02:03.112
We have to do every day at the state capitol.
00:02:03.112 --> 00:02:06.149
For me, prophetic voices like jesus have helped me reckon
00:02:06.149 --> 00:02:09.052
With my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own certainty.
00:02:09.052 --> 00:02:14.724
So to review the democratic nominee for a u.s.
00:02:15.692 --> 00:02:18.661
Senate seat is on record saying that our heavenly father
00:02:18.661 --> 00:02:22.498
Is actually non-binary, that he created six genders,
00:02:22.498 --> 00:02:26.769
Not two male and female, that trans genders need abortions.
00:02:26.769 --> 00:02:31.307
So i guess talarico believes men can get pregnant and that he's
00:02:31.307 --> 00:02:35.311
Struggling with his own whiteness and masculinity.
00:02:35.311 --> 00:02:38.915
He's also said that our southern border
00:02:38.915 --> 00:02:40.683
Should be like a giant welcome mat.
00:02:40.683 --> 00:02:43.052
He's a big supporter of abortion, and he's running
00:02:43.052 --> 00:02:45.922
A strictly non-meat vegan campaign in texas.
00:02:45.922 --> 00:02:50.860
Good luck with that.
00:02:51.327 --> 00:02:52.762
But out of all the alarming talarico statements,
00:02:52.762 --> 00:02:55.331
This one is the most revealing about who he is
00:02:55.331 --> 00:02:59.102
And what he stands for.
00:02:59.102 --> 00:03:00.670
Watch something that you love that's not family or friends.
00:03:00.670 --> 00:03:05.675
I love and say this because it's on my mind.
00:03:06.576 --> 00:03:10.213
The trans children who showed up
00:03:10.213 --> 00:03:13.483
Yesterday at the state capitol to advocate for their humanity.
00:03:13.483 --> 00:03:17.020
They shouldn't have to.
00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:18.154
But it was an inspiration to watch.
00:03:18.154 --> 00:03:21.524
Seems a talarico is a full
00:03:22.091 --> 00:03:23.826
On supporter of so-called sex changes for minors.
00:03:23.826 --> 00:03:27.864
One of the great evils of our time.
00:03:27.864 --> 00:03:30.300
Quack doctors mutilating little kids sex organs
00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:33.936
And destroying their lives.
00:03:33.936 --> 00:03:35.805
It's demonic.
00:03:35.805 --> 00:03:37.173
And talarico, a seminarian, celebrates that.
00:03:37.173 --> 00:03:41.177
Folks, we are clearly in a battle
00:03:41.177 --> 00:03:43.079
For the soul of our nation.
00:03:43.079 --> 00:03:45.481
Up next, steve deace joins us to share why america's
00:03:45.481 --> 00:03:48.518
250th birthday could determine the fate
00:03:48.518 --> 00:03:51.654
Of our nation for generations to come.
00:03:51.654 --> 00:03:54.791
And it all starts now.
00:03:54.791 --> 00:04:12.875
As america celebrates its 250th birthday,
00:04:13.776 --> 00:04:17.480
A critical question is rising to the surface.
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.717
What exactly made this nation great in the first place
00:04:20.717 --> 00:04:24.287
And cannot survive if we forget the vision of our founders?
00:04:24.287 --> 00:04:29.125
Joining us now is our good friend
00:04:29.125 --> 00:04:30.360
Steve deace, bestselling author and nationally syndicated
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.429
Host of the steve deace show on the blaze tv.
00:04:33.429 --> 00:04:36.499
His new children's book, why independence day
00:04:36.499 --> 00:04:39.869
America is great because god is good.
00:04:39.869 --> 00:04:43.139
Takes readers back to the true source of america's greatness,
00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:46.876
And lays out what it will take for this nation to endure
00:04:46.876 --> 00:04:50.880
For generations to come.
00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:52.682
Steve, always great to see you, my friend.
00:04:52.682 --> 00:04:54.317
And i think this book again geared towards children.
00:04:54.317 --> 00:04:57.420
It's kind of counterprogramming in a sense, in that
00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:00.556
In our public schools, for instance,
00:05:00.556 --> 00:05:02.592
Kids are not learning about the greatness,
00:05:02.592 --> 00:05:04.560
The exceptionalism of america, certainly not learning about
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.563
God's role in the foundation of our nation.
00:05:07.563 --> 00:05:11.100
And that's why this book, steve, i think, is so important.
00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:14.103
Talk a bit more about your thinking.
00:05:14.103 --> 00:05:15.838
It's the third in the series,
00:05:15.838 --> 00:05:16.973
By the way, of great children's books you've written.
00:05:16.973 --> 00:05:19.142
Talk a bit more about your thinking
00:05:19.142 --> 00:05:21.544
In writing this series, and in particular this book.
00:05:21.544 --> 00:05:24.781
Well, good to see you, my friend.
00:05:25.548 --> 00:05:26.849
And, you know, listen, the prophet josiah once
00:05:26.849 --> 00:05:29.218
Famously said, my people perish for a lack of knowledge.
00:05:29.218 --> 00:05:32.422
And that's that's kind of what's happening here.
00:05:32.422 --> 00:05:34.724
You know,
00:05:34.724 --> 00:05:35.892
Our 250th birthday is an event 3000 years in the making.
00:05:35.892 --> 00:05:39.662
And we go back, deuteronomy was the book
00:05:39.662 --> 00:05:42.632
That was charlie used to point out.
00:05:42.632 --> 00:05:43.966
Deuteronomy was the book
00:05:43.966 --> 00:05:44.901
That founders quoted more than any other,
00:05:44.901 --> 00:05:47.637
Any other writing that inspired them,
00:05:47.637 --> 00:05:49.705
Because that's ultimately where it began.
00:05:49.705 --> 00:05:51.541
The idea,
00:05:51.541 --> 00:05:53.009
Of the laws of nature and nature's god happened to be.
00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:56.145
And then now through christ now, we are able because,
00:05:56.145 --> 00:06:00.216
The are so
00:06:00.516 --> 00:06:01.751
Our brains have been repaired, our souls have been rebooted.
00:06:01.751 --> 00:06:05.221
The spirit of the living god now comes to live in us.
00:06:05.221 --> 00:06:07.824
The hope of glory. christ in me.
00:06:07.824 --> 00:06:09.692
And so now we can.
00:06:09.692 --> 00:06:11.027
Now live and be free as and as saint peter says.
00:06:11.027 --> 00:06:14.130
You know, we were called to be free,
00:06:14.130 --> 00:06:15.431
But not to use our freedom to indulge our sinful natures.
00:06:15.431 --> 00:06:18.334
All of these things, were great influences
00:06:18.334 --> 00:06:21.304
In the country that we now live in.
00:06:21.304 --> 00:06:23.272
And i just had an opportunity, eric, to take a heritage tour
00:06:23.272 --> 00:06:25.975
With speaker mike johnson at the capitol last week.
00:06:25.975 --> 00:06:29.145
And it was just incredible to be reminded in person to see.
00:06:29.145 --> 00:06:32.982
And we're not just talking stuff
00:06:32.982 --> 00:06:34.350
That, you know, it's just been added
00:06:34.350 --> 00:06:35.551
Since, quote unquote, our guys won the election.
00:06:35.551 --> 00:06:38.120
This is embedded into the structures
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.823
Of america's buildings,
00:06:40.823 --> 00:06:42.825
You know, stuff that looks like, you know,
00:06:42.825 --> 00:06:44.393
Scenes from stained glass windows,
00:06:44.393 --> 00:06:46.662
The honoring of, you know, of saint paul,
00:06:46.662 --> 00:06:49.165
The honoring of moses and the receiving in the law.
00:06:49.165 --> 00:06:51.901
This is everywhere,
00:06:51.901 --> 00:06:53.135
All throughout the capitol, all throughout our
00:06:53.135 --> 00:06:55.071
Our our, you know, our
00:06:55.071 --> 00:06:56.706
Our founding documents throughout our heritage.
00:06:56.706 --> 00:06:59.141
And so it's not a surprise, you know, that the further
00:06:59.141 --> 00:07:01.978
We depart from that,
00:07:01.978 --> 00:07:03.613
The more and less or the less free
00:07:03.613 --> 00:07:05.615
And the more tyranny and government we get.
00:07:05.615 --> 00:07:07.517
And so the answer here, and this has happened before,
00:07:07.517 --> 00:07:10.119
You know, in many respects, i thought, going through those
00:07:10.119 --> 00:07:13.990
That history made me feel like the priest took
00:07:13.990 --> 00:07:16.726
One of the answers to the prophet jeremiah.
00:07:16.726 --> 00:07:18.794
And he
00:07:18.794 --> 00:07:19.996
He sparked the last great revival of old testament israel
00:07:19.996 --> 00:07:23.132
When he's cleaning out the temple and he sees, hey,
00:07:23.132 --> 00:07:25.535
There's the book of the law, and he brings it
00:07:25.535 --> 00:07:27.203
To this young king named josiah.
00:07:27.203 --> 00:07:29.272
And they realize that through all this worldly clutter.
00:07:29.272 --> 00:07:31.974
All right, still, god's word is remains.
00:07:31.974 --> 00:07:34.310
And they'll be blessed if they follow it.
00:07:34.310 --> 00:07:36.212
And and a great revival followed afterwards.
00:07:36.212 --> 00:07:38.881
And i
00:07:38.881 --> 00:07:39.282
And i think
00:07:39.282 --> 00:07:40.216
By going back to where we started from,
00:07:40.216 --> 00:07:41.717
The answers to the future
00:07:41.717 --> 00:07:42.752
Are found in the past by going back is
00:07:42.752 --> 00:07:45.321
When we'll be able to understand the road ahead.
00:07:45.321 --> 00:07:47.423
Steve, it seemed like we had a bit
00:07:47.423 --> 00:07:48.524
Of a josiah moment last weekend in dc.
00:07:48.524 --> 00:07:50.860
You mentioned speaker johnson.
00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:52.061
He was there at rededicate 250 on the national mall.
00:07:52.061 --> 00:07:55.431
It came from the top down.
00:07:55.431 --> 00:07:57.033
Our government rededicating the nation to the lord.
00:07:57.033 --> 00:08:01.003
Did you see significance in that?
00:08:01.003 --> 00:08:03.205
You bet.
00:08:03.205 --> 00:08:03.873
Because if one thing you see
00:08:03.873 --> 00:08:05.641
Throughout the founding of this country
00:08:05.641 --> 00:08:07.410
Is the kind of covenantal language
00:08:07.410 --> 00:08:09.178
That you only see in one place, and that is in the bible
00:08:09.178 --> 00:08:12.048
And in many respects, our founders were attempting to,
00:08:12.048 --> 00:08:14.917
In a civic sense.
00:08:14.917 --> 00:08:16.652
So a country
00:08:16.652 --> 00:08:17.920
Inspired by christianity, but not necessarily governed by it,
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.424
Because remember,
00:08:21.424 --> 00:08:22.124
These 13
00:08:22.124 --> 00:08:23.359
Colonies are all from different various sects of christianity.
00:08:23.359 --> 00:08:26.162
And we had just come out
00:08:26.162 --> 00:08:27.363
Of the post reformation period where there was a lot of blood
00:08:27.363 --> 00:08:30.299
Spilled over doctrinal differences
00:08:30.299 --> 00:08:32.068
On the fields of europe where our ancestors were from.
00:08:32.068 --> 00:08:34.503
And so how do we have a country
00:08:34.503 --> 00:08:35.838
That is inspired by christianity, provides
00:08:35.838 --> 00:08:38.507
The moral spiritual ethic that allows people to be free,
00:08:38.507 --> 00:08:41.544
But then also doesn't cause
00:08:41.544 --> 00:08:42.878
The sectarian violence that europe had seen?
00:08:42.878 --> 00:08:45.181
And so that is that's the paradoxical nature
00:08:45.181 --> 00:08:48.918
Of our founding.
00:08:48.918 --> 00:08:49.885
And it mirrors a lot of the paradoxical nature
00:08:49.885 --> 00:08:52.188
Of the scriptures that were in the world,
00:08:52.188 --> 00:08:54.023
But not of it, that jesus is lord of all now.
00:08:54.023 --> 00:08:56.425
But we're not living in the fullness of his reign
00:08:56.425 --> 00:08:58.461
Quite yet.
00:08:58.461 --> 00:08:59.395
That that that's all that
00:08:59.395 --> 00:09:00.696
Paradoxical language in the scriptures.
00:09:00.696 --> 00:09:02.565
They were attempting to emulate it.
00:09:02.565 --> 00:09:04.133
And so in a civic sense, they wanted to create
00:09:04.133 --> 00:09:06.369
Kind of a civic covenant with the one true god that, hey,
00:09:06.369 --> 00:09:09.372
You promised the people
00:09:09.372 --> 00:09:10.740
That you called unto yourself that if they worship you,
00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:13.909
You will give them land.
00:09:13.909 --> 00:09:14.910
If they follow you, you will keep them free
00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:17.013
That you set before them blessing and cursing life
00:09:17.013 --> 00:09:19.115
And death. that they choose life they get to live in the land.
00:09:19.115 --> 00:09:21.550
Does that work for other peoples?
00:09:21.550 --> 00:09:23.252
Now that we're in a new testament world
00:09:23.252 --> 00:09:24.720
Now, and your house will be a house of prayer
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.522
To all nations, and the holy spirit now
00:09:26.522 --> 00:09:28.691
Comes to live in all believers, jewish and gentile alike.
00:09:28.691 --> 00:09:31.827
Is that now possible for another nation?
00:09:31.827 --> 00:09:34.563
And they were invoking that and attempting to stoke that.
00:09:34.563 --> 00:09:37.233
And that language is
00:09:37.233 --> 00:09:38.401
Is replete all throughout
00:09:38.401 --> 00:09:40.169
The founding of our country and our founding documents and,
00:09:40.169 --> 00:09:42.471
And our founding, you know, artifacts and relics.
00:09:42.471 --> 00:09:45.875

We talk about american values and the founders.
00:09:55.418 --> 00:09:58.320
What's islam's place in america?
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.590
Does it have a place in america?
00:10:01.590 --> 00:10:03.359

00:10:23.046 --> 00:10:27.017
Steve been writing a bunch on x over
00:10:27.017 --> 00:10:28.885
The past few weeks, in particular
00:10:28.885 --> 00:10:30.620
About the rise of islam in america, where i'm
00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:32.689
Sitting right now in texas, there are major, major issues
00:10:32.689 --> 00:10:35.692
With muslim brotherhood aligned islamists making inroads.
00:10:35.692 --> 00:10:39.529
How concerned should we be?
00:10:39.529 --> 00:10:41.331
And are you concerned
00:10:41.331 --> 00:10:42.866
That the europe model is coming to our shores?
00:10:42.866 --> 00:10:46.503
1,000,000%?
00:10:46.837 --> 00:10:48.238
I'm concerned, eric, and i think that, you know,
00:10:48.238 --> 00:10:50.841
Nature abhors a vacuum.
00:10:50.841 --> 00:10:52.109
And so what we've seen in europe
00:10:52.109 --> 00:10:53.477
In this last generation is the church abrogated?
00:10:53.477 --> 00:10:57.214
Or it became so watered down that jesus came
00:10:57.214 --> 00:10:59.983
And took his lampstand away.
00:10:59.983 --> 00:11:01.618
Like what we see in
00:11:01.618 --> 00:11:02.819
I think it's in revelation two, where he references that.
00:11:02.819 --> 00:11:05.155
And so you look at france right now, less than 2% of
00:11:05.155 --> 00:11:07.758
France is evangelical.
00:11:07.758 --> 00:11:08.859
Many of the great
00:11:08.859 --> 00:11:09.659
Catholic monasteries all throughout
00:11:09.659 --> 00:11:11.361
Europe are now either mosques, strip malls or just empty.
00:11:11.361 --> 00:11:14.564
And so that made them ripe for the picking.
00:11:14.564 --> 00:11:16.900
Someone will always rule
00:11:16.900 --> 00:11:18.135
Something will always be worshiped.
00:11:18.135 --> 00:11:20.270
And so since europe turned its back on christ,
00:11:20.270 --> 00:11:22.773
Now the the false god of islam comes and listen.
00:11:22.773 --> 00:11:26.042
Islam has had its eye on europe for for a millennia.
00:11:26.042 --> 00:11:29.346
It has tried on multiple occasions.
00:11:29.346 --> 00:11:31.615
In fact,
00:11:31.615 --> 00:11:32.582
The last great islamic incursion into europe
00:11:32.582 --> 00:11:34.417
Was during the reformation, in fact.
00:11:34.417 --> 00:11:36.219
And the pope at the time,
00:11:36.219 --> 00:11:37.854
Demanded that all catholics pray the rosary,
00:11:37.854 --> 00:11:40.924
Over the army, that he sent out to defeat islam at vienna.
00:11:40.924 --> 00:11:44.594
That was one of the great victories
00:11:44.594 --> 00:11:46.096
In the history of the church.
00:11:46.096 --> 00:11:47.831
And the pope
00:11:47.831 --> 00:11:48.832
That led that to victory, in fact, was given
00:11:48.832 --> 00:11:50.500
Was canonized as a saint because that was just
00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:52.469
Considered a miracle.
00:11:52.469 --> 00:11:53.503
They were totally outnumbered by the ottomans.
00:11:53.503 --> 00:11:55.172
There was no other explanation other than god for how they won.
00:11:55.172 --> 00:11:57.941
This is this is all history that's been lost. i've.
00:11:57.941 --> 00:12:00.744
I've wanted to ask ron paul for years.
00:12:00.744 --> 00:12:03.713
You ever read the first few chapters of revelation?
00:12:03.713 --> 00:12:06.183
What happened to all those churches
00:12:06.183 --> 00:12:07.584
In this place called asia minor?
00:12:07.584 --> 00:12:08.885
Did they have a referendum there?
00:12:08.885 --> 00:12:10.654
In modern day turkey and
00:12:10.654 --> 00:12:12.022
And just decided they didn't want to be christian anymore.
00:12:12.022 --> 00:12:14.090
Where'd they go?
00:12:14.090 --> 00:12:14.925
Where the where the christian enclaves
00:12:14.925 --> 00:12:16.760
In the earliest areas of the church,
00:12:16.760 --> 00:12:18.829
In lebanon and egypt and syria.
00:12:18.829 --> 00:12:20.730
Where did they all go?
00:12:20.730 --> 00:12:22.098
Did they all just again, we just lost an election
00:12:22.098 --> 00:12:24.301
To the muslims or did something else happened?
00:12:24.301 --> 00:12:26.203
What was that history?
00:12:26.203 --> 00:12:27.504
And eric,
00:12:27.504 --> 00:12:28.738
You've heard me point this out many times for almost 1400 years
00:12:28.738 --> 00:12:31.942
We had islam and christianity with no nation on israel,
00:12:31.942 --> 00:12:34.878
No nation called israel on the earth.
00:12:34.878 --> 00:12:36.680
Well, how did islam treat
00:12:36.680 --> 00:12:38.081
Christianity in the west during that time?
00:12:38.081 --> 00:12:39.783
I'm sure because we weren't,
00:12:39.783 --> 00:12:41.451
You know, close cousins to israel and therefore,
00:12:41.451 --> 00:12:44.688
Angering the arab street.
00:12:44.688 --> 00:12:45.922
I'm sure they were nice to us
00:12:45.922 --> 00:12:47.524
During that millennia and a half. no, they weren't.
00:12:47.524 --> 00:12:49.326
The history says the exact opposite.
00:12:49.326 --> 00:12:51.561
So i'm 10,000,000% concerned about this.
00:12:51.561 --> 00:12:53.997
And i think everybody watching within the sound of our voices
00:12:53.997 --> 00:12:56.700
Should be very concerned as well.
00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:58.068
Yeah. wave after wave of jihad came to europe. sure.
00:12:58.068 --> 00:13:00.904
As you talk a bit more about that
00:13:00.904 --> 00:13:02.739
Unholy alliance, we've called it between the left and islamist.
00:13:02.739 --> 00:13:06.209
And you've said,
00:13:06.209 --> 00:13:07.410
Look, we're in a pagan, pretty much a pagan era right now.
00:13:07.410 --> 00:13:11.081
It's not.
00:13:11.081 --> 00:13:12.148
It's a post-christian culture in many respects.
00:13:12.148 --> 00:13:14.184
And how that factors into this.
00:13:14.184 --> 00:13:15.518
Like you said, nature abhors a vacuum.
00:13:15.518 --> 00:13:17.354
And it's being filled by islamists.
00:13:17.354 --> 00:13:20.123
Well, the good news is, if
00:13:20.690 --> 00:13:21.791
You're in a post-christian culture, that also means
00:13:21.791 --> 00:13:23.927
You're in a pre-christian culture,
00:13:23.927 --> 00:13:25.362
Because not even the gates of hell will prevail. right?
00:13:25.362 --> 00:13:27.664
And so if it feels like the culture
00:13:27.664 --> 00:13:29.399
Is that good friday right now, that means that eventually
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.835
Resurrection sunday is coming.
00:13:31.835 --> 00:13:33.503
All right.
00:13:33.503 --> 00:13:34.738
And so, but the time and the and the and the places and space
00:13:34.738 --> 00:13:37.741
It will take to get there will not be comfortable.
00:13:37.741 --> 00:13:39.776
It will require us,
00:13:39.776 --> 00:13:41.611
Recovering a word, an ancient word, erica, of immense power.
00:13:41.611 --> 00:13:45.148
And i'm sure everyone
00:13:45.148 --> 00:13:46.283
Within the sound of my voice can say it with me now.
00:13:46.283 --> 00:13:49.052
No, we're going to have to learn the word.
00:13:49.052 --> 00:13:51.321
No, no, we're not going to do that.
00:13:51.321 --> 00:13:52.722
No, we're not going to become, you know, the harbor point
00:13:52.722 --> 00:13:55.859
For foreigners and worldviews that hate us.
00:13:55.859 --> 00:13:58.161
No, you don't get to take over our schools.
00:13:58.161 --> 00:13:59.996
No, you don't get to have our daughters locker rooms.
00:13:59.996 --> 00:14:02.232
No, you don't get this. no, you don't get that.
00:14:02.232 --> 00:14:04.434
We're going to have to relearn the word no,
00:14:04.434 --> 00:14:07.370
We have not used it very often
00:14:07.370 --> 00:14:09.439
In this last generation of america.
00:14:09.439 --> 00:14:11.341
And that's why we've said yes
00:14:11.341 --> 00:14:12.642
To every godless thing you can possibly imagine.
00:14:12.642 --> 00:14:14.811
When god first announces himself the first of his law,
00:14:14.811 --> 00:14:18.348
That he writes with his own hand,
00:14:18.348 --> 00:14:19.716
There are a series of no statements
00:14:19.716 --> 00:14:21.651
Don't do this, don't do that.
00:14:21.651 --> 00:14:22.886
That's not a god that don't do that.
00:14:22.886 --> 00:14:24.955
I mean, there are a series of nos.
00:14:24.955 --> 00:14:26.523
In the last era, the church said stupid stuff
00:14:26.523 --> 00:14:28.558
Like, well, i don't want the world to know
00:14:28.558 --> 00:14:30.527
What we're against, just what we're for.
00:14:30.527 --> 00:14:32.362
I don't know, god makes it pretty clear what he's against.
00:14:32.362 --> 00:14:34.731
Pretty clear.
00:14:34.731 --> 00:14:35.432
All right.
00:14:35.432 --> 00:14:35.899
So, yeah,
00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:37.067
Time to time to make what we're against a great again,
00:14:37.067 --> 00:14:39.269
All throughout the fruited plain, in fact.
00:14:39.269 --> 00:14:41.438
And if we're not, then islam will make it very,
00:14:41.438 --> 00:14:43.873
Very clear that it is against us.
00:14:43.873 --> 00:14:45.709
Yeah. steve, about a minute left. revival.
00:14:45.709 --> 00:14:48.111
You mentioned revival earlier.
00:14:48.111 --> 00:14:49.546
Prospects of that.
00:14:49.546 --> 00:14:50.447
There was a lot of optimism
00:14:50.447 --> 00:14:51.481
After charlie was murdered back in september.
00:14:51.481 --> 00:14:53.516
That revival was spurring, especially among generation z.
00:14:53.516 --> 00:14:57.354
What's the latest there?
00:14:57.354 --> 00:14:58.521
Do you see the encouraging signs on that front?
00:14:58.521 --> 00:15:01.458
You see embers.
00:15:01.458 --> 00:15:02.759
You know, it's a little bit
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:03.860
Like the final challenge in survivor
00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:06.496
When they're doing the fire making
00:15:06.496 --> 00:15:07.731
And they're both trying to make it work.
00:15:07.731 --> 00:15:08.932
And it comes in, it goes out, it comes and it goes out.
00:15:08.932 --> 00:15:11.201
You see embers. eric.
00:15:11.201 --> 00:15:13.103
And so it it's there and i think we're waiting to see
00:15:13.103 --> 00:15:16.306
I think the holy
00:15:16.306 --> 00:15:17.307
Spirit is waiting to see how serious we are
00:15:17.307 --> 00:15:19.342
If we're going to reform our worship
00:15:19.342 --> 00:15:20.844
And go back to worshiping god in the way he intends.
00:15:20.844 --> 00:15:23.146
And then i think if we do that, if we show a heart for that,
00:15:23.146 --> 00:15:25.648
And i think you will see the holy spirit,
00:15:25.648 --> 00:15:27.083
Because ultimately that's
00:15:27.083 --> 00:15:27.984
Where revival comes from, is from him.
00:15:27.984 --> 00:15:30.053
But you do see embers of it for sure.
00:15:30.053 --> 00:15:31.955
Amen, steve.
00:15:31.955 --> 00:15:32.822
Well, so as always, my friend, folks,
00:15:32.822 --> 00:15:34.024

The break. stick around.
00:15:56.004 --> 00:15:58.783
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:15:59.550 --> 00:16:01.619
Israel remains locked in a multi-front war
00:16:01.619 --> 00:16:04.755
Against hamas, hezbollah and the iranian regime,
00:16:04.755 --> 00:16:08.826
All while anti-semitism is surging across the globe,
00:16:08.826 --> 00:16:12.463
From violent attacks in europe to pro hamas
00:16:12.463 --> 00:16:15.733
Demonstrations on college campuses right here in america,
00:16:15.733 --> 00:16:19.403
The world is witnessing a deadly rise of jew hatred.
00:16:19.403 --> 00:16:23.140
Joel turn off has spent decades standing in the gap as he
00:16:23.140 --> 00:16:26.644
Spiritual, humanitarian and geopolitical battles rage.
00:16:26.644 --> 00:16:30.681
He serves as general secretary
00:16:30.681 --> 00:16:32.183
And ceo of the messianic jewish alliance of america,
00:16:32.183 --> 00:16:35.486
And is founder
00:16:35.486 --> 00:16:36.554
Of a great organization called the joseph project,
00:16:36.554 --> 00:16:39.356
Which has delivered more than $35 million in
00:16:39.356 --> 00:16:43.160
Humanitarian aid to israel since october 7th alone.
00:16:43.160 --> 00:16:47.531
Joel, great to have you with us, my friend.
00:16:47.531 --> 00:16:49.333
Hey, 100.
00:16:49.333 --> 00:16:50.267
Yes, 180 million overall to israel in aid
00:16:50.267 --> 00:16:54.138
Since joseph project launched.
00:16:54.138 --> 00:16:55.739
But joel 35 million since october 7th alone.
00:16:55.739 --> 00:16:59.110
Tell us a bit more about the need on the ground in israel.
00:16:59.110 --> 00:17:02.880
Well, of course, i mean, even before the war,
00:17:02.880 --> 00:17:06.350
Poverty is number one domestic
00:17:06.350 --> 00:17:09.453
Issue or challenge facing facing the state of israel.
00:17:09.453 --> 00:17:12.723
People don't actually know that and know that, eric.
00:17:12.723 --> 00:17:15.059
But but a third of the children living below the poverty line,
00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:19.797
25% of the adults
00:17:20.231 --> 00:17:22.766
Below the poverty line before the war.
00:17:22.766 --> 00:17:26.704
The war has just exacerbated it and made it worse.
00:17:26.704 --> 00:17:30.207
A lot of the workforce is serving in the army is fighting.
00:17:30.207 --> 00:17:34.645
It's a tough shame, mainly because security costs so much.
00:17:34.645 --> 00:17:40.151
The price of everything is high in israel.
00:17:40.151 --> 00:17:42.419
The standard of living, the cost of living is high.
00:17:42.419 --> 00:17:45.789
Security is high.
00:17:45.789 --> 00:17:47.658
And so social services keeps getting cut,
00:17:47.658 --> 00:17:51.028
You know, just to meet budget.
00:17:51.028 --> 00:17:53.230
People don't see that.
00:17:53.230 --> 00:17:54.732
But it's a huge issue in israel.
00:17:54.732 --> 00:17:56.934
So obviously the needs are huge in this, in this war.
00:17:56.934 --> 00:18:01.572
Yeah, joel, i would say it's really israel's
00:18:01.572 --> 00:18:03.507
Time of greatest
00:18:03.507 --> 00:18:04.708
Need since 1948, since the miraculous rebirth of israel.
00:18:04.708 --> 00:18:08.212
One of the things i love about the joseph project is you're
00:18:08.212 --> 00:18:10.181
Serving jewish communities throughout the land of israel,
00:18:10.181 --> 00:18:12.283
But also arabs, everyone in israel.
00:18:12.283 --> 00:18:14.718
You're serving and you're blessing them.
00:18:14.718 --> 00:18:16.287
Tell us more about what you do. we do.
00:18:16.287 --> 00:18:17.821
We serve every segment of the jewish, world, from,
00:18:17.821 --> 00:18:22.092
The orthodox to the conservative secular to the idf, you name
00:18:22.092 --> 00:18:27.264
It, we are serving there, but also the arabs, too.
00:18:27.264 --> 00:18:32.203
You're acting really as the hands and feet of yeshua.
00:18:32.203 --> 00:18:35.005
You're ambassadors for christ, for yeshua.
00:18:35.005 --> 00:18:37.675
At the end of the day, on the ground
00:18:37.675 --> 00:18:38.776
With the joseph project.
00:18:38.776 --> 00:18:40.177
So we'll talk a bit more about the morale
00:18:40.177 --> 00:18:42.880
Of the people of israel. obviously,
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.682
Heavy blows since october 7th and it's ongoing now.
00:18:44.682 --> 00:18:48.352
You've seen this on the ground.
00:18:48.352 --> 00:18:49.620
On the ground with the joseph project, you and your great team
00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:52.923
Talk about the spirit of the people of israel,
00:18:52.923 --> 00:18:54.992
The morale, the psyche. right now.
00:18:54.992 --> 00:18:56.961
It's been tremendous, tremendous trauma that's been unleashed.
00:18:56.961 --> 00:19:00.431
Well, israel is such an incredible place
00:19:00.431 --> 00:19:03.834
And the and the scenario, eric, is so incredibly prophetic.
00:19:03.834 --> 00:19:08.606
On the one hand, god is standing with the armies of israel,
00:19:08.606 --> 00:19:12.710
And they are having incredible success.
00:19:12.710 --> 00:19:15.045
Really ridiculous, miraculous success.
00:19:15.045 --> 00:19:19.450
With with
00:19:19.750 --> 00:19:20.951
United states also, thank god, stand with, stand with israel.
00:19:20.951 --> 00:19:24.488
Yeah, but the people of israel are really
00:19:24.488 --> 00:19:27.825
Under tremendous pressure.
00:19:27.825 --> 00:19:29.793
Yes. the trauma
00:19:29.793 --> 00:19:31.528
Of having to run to the bunkers all of the time.
00:19:31.528 --> 00:19:35.599
Middle of the night.
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:37.067
Education is disrupted.
00:19:37.067 --> 00:19:39.003
The children feel it.
00:19:39.003 --> 00:19:41.238
They have to keep running, and and and they're.
00:19:41.238 --> 00:19:44.375
And they're in the bunkers. no toys.
00:19:44.375 --> 00:19:46.010
I mean, it's crazy pressure. pressure there.
00:19:46.010 --> 00:19:48.712
So i mean, the needs are great.
00:19:48.712 --> 00:19:50.347
Now spiritually, eric,
00:19:50.347 --> 00:19:52.182
Spiritually, i find it interesting watching
00:19:52.182 --> 00:19:54.818
Because our people need to find the messiah, need
00:19:54.818 --> 00:19:59.790
To find that personal fellowship with the lord.
00:19:59.790 --> 00:20:02.660
We are prophetic people and this is the time
00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:06.063
Of the restoration of israel,
00:20:06.063 --> 00:20:07.331
Not just physically, but spiritually also.
00:20:07.331 --> 00:20:11.402
This is the time god promises he's going to sprinkle clean
00:20:11.402 --> 00:20:14.571
Water upon us and change our our, hearts to soft hearts.
00:20:14.571 --> 00:20:21.078
And that's what i see happening in the midst
00:20:21.078 --> 00:20:24.148
Of all this trauma, our people, and watching the anti-semitism.
00:20:24.148 --> 00:20:27.718
You see it.
00:20:27.718 --> 00:20:28.419
Don't you see europe.
00:20:28.419 --> 00:20:31.855
In our. background here?
00:20:31.855 --> 00:20:33.857
And they see god in israel, and that's got an impact as well.
00:20:33.857 --> 00:20:37.461
It hurts him.
00:20:37.461 --> 00:20:39.029
So it causes our people to think and to say, you know,
00:20:39.029 --> 00:20:43.000
The armies of israel, good, but we're not that good.
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.502
I mean,
00:20:45.502 --> 00:20:46.737
I mean, you're talking about a billion muslims, 350 hostile,
00:20:46.737 --> 00:20:50.808
Million
00:20:51.041 --> 00:20:51.975
Arabs on the on the borders and europe.
00:20:51.975 --> 00:20:55.379
It's a rough situation.
00:20:55.379 --> 00:20:57.281
And our people feel it.
00:20:57.281 --> 00:20:59.016
They they can feel god's presence.
00:20:59.016 --> 00:21:01.518
But at the same time, they're asking questions.
00:21:01.518 --> 00:21:04.421
God is,
00:21:04.421 --> 00:21:05.622
I think, softening the ground spiritually of our people.
00:21:05.622 --> 00:21:08.692
We need a revival.
00:21:08.692 --> 00:21:11.595
I guess, on the soil of israel, everywhere else in the world.
00:21:11.595 --> 00:21:15.733
God has been touching us.
00:21:15.733 --> 00:21:17.267
But in israel we need an outbreak of the rock.
00:21:17.267 --> 00:21:21.071
The spirit of god. and it's building up to that.
00:21:21.071 --> 00:21:23.841
It is.
00:21:23.841 --> 00:21:24.708
There's an opening now, an openness,
00:21:24.708 --> 00:21:26.143
I should say, to the gospel like we haven't seen before.
00:21:26.143 --> 00:21:28.645
Tremendous.
00:21:28.645 --> 00:21:29.513
And the joseph project international,
00:21:29.513 --> 00:21:32.116
I have always said, is said this.
00:21:32.116 --> 00:21:34.151
This is this is compassion from the messiah
00:21:34.151 --> 00:21:38.956
Through us, jew and gentile, working together, messianic jew
00:21:38.956 --> 00:21:42.893
And, christian through countless
00:21:42.893 --> 00:21:46.330
Acts of kindness in his name.
00:21:46.330 --> 00:21:49.967
That's what softens our our people's hearts.
00:21:49.967 --> 00:21:53.504
Despite centuries of persecution coming from
00:21:53.504 --> 00:21:56.707
People who say that they follow, follow jesus.
00:21:56.707 --> 00:21:59.843
But this is the real deal.
00:21:59.843 --> 00:22:01.812
And our people are feeling that at the same time of feeling
00:22:01.812 --> 00:22:06.250
A sense of hopelessness, where do we turn to god
00:22:06.250 --> 00:22:09.153
Or are you there?
00:22:09.153 --> 00:22:10.254
What is going on?
00:22:10.254 --> 00:22:11.688
Yeah, that's the good part, is that we're searching for him.
00:22:11.688 --> 00:22:16.493
Amen.
00:22:16.727 --> 00:22:17.694
We haven't smelled the spirit in 1700 years.
00:22:17.694 --> 00:22:20.564
We're getting there.
00:22:20.564 --> 00:22:21.465
We are for such a time as this.
00:22:21.465 --> 00:22:23.567
Such a time. this great stuff, my friend.
00:22:23.567 --> 00:22:25.068

00:22:25.068 --> 00:22:27.304

Coming up, my final thoughts stick around.
00:22:33.444 --> 00:22:40.009
Coming up, my final thoughts stick around.
00:22:40.009 --> 00:22:42.296
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks, as we wrap up

And a great conversation between joel
00:22:47.534 --> 00:22:49.002
And i off camera, he pointed out isaiah 5417,
00:22:49.002 --> 00:22:53.073
In relation to modern israel and the rise in anti-semitism
00:22:53.073 --> 00:22:56.109
That we're seeing around the world,
00:22:56.109 --> 00:22:57.277
It says no weapon formed against you shall prosper,
00:22:57.277 --> 00:23:01.081
And every tongue
00:23:01.081 --> 00:23:02.182
Which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.
00:23:02.182 --> 00:23:06.053
Amen. god is still in the throne.
00:23:06.053 --> 00:23:08.222
He has an incredible plan for israel and the jewish people,
00:23:08.222 --> 00:23:11.892
And no anti-semite will thwart that.
00:23:11.892 --> 00:23:14.695
