The speaker expresses excitement about being part of a movement and discusses the need to channel the energy. They mention a shortage of leadership and question the absence of organized groups addressing current issues. They highlight the importance of churches discussing political matters and urge people to demand change. Another speaker references a historical event where a pastor and his church stood up against British soldiers. The first speaker agrees and emphasizes the need for action instead of retreat. They express frustration at the lack of organization and leadership.

The speaker asserts that the main issue for any religion is that Jesus Christ is the true King. They believe that anyone who doesn't believe in Christ should not have any influence in America, including in media, technology, politics, farming, medicine, and prisons. When asked about the treatment of Jews, the speaker suggests that Jews should not be in charge of everything and should work for Christians instead. They express a willingness to hire a Jewish person if they can ensure they are not a spy.

A partnership between Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Friends of Zion Museum led to an unprecedented visit, marking the first time Israel officially partnered with 1,000 strategic pastors to commission them as ambassadors to combat antisemitism and reach the youth of their generation. Dr. Mike Evans states that Israel's fight is not just on the battlefield, and that there is currently an ideological war that Israel's losing, so they need the evangelicals and the Zionists to fight an ideological war. One of the gathering's goals is to strengthen Christian support during a time of growing global antisemitism, with the message that the pulpit must speak louder than the propaganda. A speaker emphasizes that pastors should go to their pulpits to speak with clarity and boldness, pushing back on the antisemitism and bigotry directed toward Jewish people and toward the people of Israel. Another speaker notes that the pulpit has become quiet about these issues, and that cultural voices have spoken louder than pastors on these topics, making it motivating to return to the message of who Israel is to the Lord and to reaffirm Christians’ role in supporting and praying for Israel. There is a concern about a growing cancer within the evangelical movement in America, where people think Israel doesn’t matter and that nothing biblical supports the relationship to Israel, which is described as very dangerous. Ambassador Huckabee, a former pastor, warns of rising danger in the church, arguing that the idea that God will break His covenant or has broken His covenant with the Jewish people borders on blasphemy, because if God will break His covenant with the Jewish people, he questions what would prevent Him from breaking His covenant with Christians as well.

The segment discusses a recent effort in which Israel hosted about 1,000 American Christian pastors who were invited to sign forms pledging to be ambassadors for Israel within their congregations, including receiving plaques and certificates. A crowdsourced list of these pastors, compiled by a popular X user known as Gen X Girl, shows a concentration in the American Southwest (California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado) with denominations including evangelicals, Baptists, Methodists, and many nondenominational churches. The participants’ willingness to pledge allegiance to a world government is emphasized as a point of concern, with the claim that “their allegiance belongs to God and no foreign government.” Pastor Jay Chase Davis of The Well Church in Colorado (not on the list) comments that the event is “pretty wild” and offers two understandings. First, he suggests understanding Israel’s political instincts and the biblical reality of how Christians should think about nation-states, citizenship on earth, and citizenship in heaven. He notes that Americans naturally favor an “American first” attitude, but asserts that the political entities of Israel relate to America because America is the global superpower, and that evangelicals have been fed a “twisted” scriptural interpretation about Israel and God’s redemptive plan. He posits that Israel is courting evangelical support because evangelicals form a large voting block, and that these pastors are being brought over to become ambassadors who will defend Israel in various capacities. He asserts that some dispensationalist teachings have led to views that could imply salvation apart from Jesus, which he labels as heretical, and argues this makes evangelicals vulnerable to manipulation. Speaker 0 asks why Orthodox and Catholic pastors aren’t on the list and what doctrinal reasons would exclude participation, while Speaker 1 explains that the trip likely targeted a specific demographic (evangelicals) due to their historical theological training (often influenced by dispensationalism) and political leverage. He describes the goal as a tour with credentialing to defend Israel and align evangelical leaders with Israeli interests, noting susceptibility due to confusion about Israel’s modern political actions and salvation doctrines. Philip’s question raises concern about evangelizing Israelis during such visits, suggesting it would not be well received; Speaker 1 confirms mixed reception and expresses suspicion that the mission may be more about indoctrination and political outreach than evangelism. For viewers concerned about their church’s alignment, Speaker 1 advises asking questions, emailing pastors, and potentially seeking a different church if the church’s stance becomes incompatible with one’s beliefs. He recommends consulting historic confessions (e.g., Westminster Confession of Faith, London Baptist Confession 1689) and engaging with educational resources such as his podcast Full Proof Theology and his work with the Center for Baptist Leadership.

Speaker 0 asks what bible verse the other person posted that led to criminal prosecution. Speaker 1 responds: it was from Romans chapter 1, verses 24 to 27. Speaker 0 asks why that passage was chosen. Speaker 1 explains that the apostle Paul teaches in these verses about marriage and same-sex relationships, and he defines them as sinful and shameful. Speaker 0 asks what message they were trying to convey. Speaker 1 says they wanted to make it clear that if the leadership of the church is supporting the pride event, it is in contradiction with the Bible. Speaker 0 notes that after posting the verse, the person was charged under Finland's war crimes and crimes against humanity law. Speaker 1 confirms that there is a law in that section about agitation against minorities. Speaker 0, speaking as a pastor with thirty-seven years of experience, expresses deep concern that someone can be criminally charged for posting a Bible verse in an EU and NATO country. The person notes the panel’s prior statements and offers a blessing to the speaker, expressing a prayer that it causes people to wake up to threats against the right to free expression.

Speaker 0 urges people to study and discover where things came from. Speaker 1 asks what happens when that discovery occurs, especially for those whose entire life has been built around the Bible. Speaker 0 replies by proposing a real-world example: in Russia today, what is it like when you find out that you’ve been hoodwinked, that your government was not the most powerful and most wonderful government on earth, and now it has totally collapsed? And then asks what you will do, since you trusted, raised your children, and went along to get along. You may have wasted your entire life, and now your world is collapsing around you. The cause, Speaker 0 asserts, is that you didn’t do your homework and you didn’t stand up for what was right when you could have. The consequence of going along to get along is a very uncomfortable present. Speaker 0 further clarifies the broader case: the notion that nothing on earth is permanent, and the discomfort that comes with facing uncomfortable facts. He expresses a desire for a spiritual revolution in this country in which people will simply say no—no to organized religion, no to organized government, no to tyranny, and no to forms of bigotry, ignorance, and ill-informed stupidity, regardless of color or place. The core message is that people should resist coercive structures and rigid dogmas. The overarching point emphasized by Speaker 0 is that, above all, people must do their homework. He ties the argument to the need for critical examination and personal responsibility in evaluating beliefs, authorities, and systems, using the Russian example to illustrate the potential personal and societal costs of remaining complacent or ignorant.

Charlie was murdered for boldly using his voice to stand up for the truth, for the bible, and for God. And silence from the pulpit is just not acceptable. The season of lukewarm Christianity is over. My church called it what it is, demonic and evil, and that's called leadership. I'm hoping that we see churches so flooded with people tomorrow like we've never before. But if your pastor is too afraid to even acknowledge what happened tomorrow or worse, too politically correct to take a stand, then I'm telling you, it's time to find a new church. This is not business as usual. This is spiritual warfare.

During a public gathering, Speaker 0 voices strong disapproval over what they describe as an interruption during a Christian worship service. They state, "This is unacceptable. It's shameful. It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship." They acknowledge that some people are present, but affirm their responsibility to “take care of my flock” and emphasize the importance of the First Amendment, mentioning “there's a constitution in the first amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.” They insist, however, that the group’s purpose at that moment is worship. Speaker 0 reiterates, “We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities. That's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ.” They request respect and caution that others should not push them. They emphasize their intent to worship and describe their group’s goal as being about worship and love. When asked about engaging with others, Speaker 0 asserts a willingness to talk, stating, “Try to talk to them as a Christian? Willing to talk.” Yet they again anchor their priority in church duties: “I have to take care of my church and my family,” and therefore request that those present would also leave the building—“I ask that you actually would also leave this building. You don't want us to Unless here worship.” There is a back-and-forth about the nature of the gathering; at one point, Speaker 0 reiterates, “We're here we're here to worship Jesus,” and “We're here to worship.” They insist on the ongoing worship as the central activity. The exchange ends with Speaker 0 affirming their position and thanking the audience, “Okay. Thank you very much.” Throughout the interaction, the speakers stress the primacy of worship, the right to gather, and their commitment to caring for their church and family while inviting or expecting others to respect the worship environment. The dialogue highlights a tension between public protest and religious worship, framed by a pledge to maintain love and the Christian message as the guiding purpose of the gathering.

Speaker 0: So there's a couple references, at least a couple references in the New Testament to Satan being the ruler of the earth. Yes. What does that mean? Speaker 1: It means that in this realm, he, in many ways, has his way. In other words, he has access to be able to influence people and point them away from the one true hope that there is, which is God. And so he prowls about, as the Bible says, as a lion hoping to tear people apart spiritually. Speaker 0: I mean, if that's not true, then explain the first world war. Speaker 0: there is just no there's no explanation even now over a hundred years later Yeah. For why that war started. Oh, you know, where Stuttgart got shot dead in Sarajevo. Really? Okay. That's not a real explanation, actually. Why didn't Christian Europe commit suicide? Yeah.

The discussion centers on the way lawmakers reference religion in foreign policy and whether that approach is effective. Speaker 0 asks the audience how many think a respected lawmaker like Ted Cruz uses the Bible to justify aid to Israel, even if he doesn’t know the verse, and whether that is the best approach. Speaker 1 responds by referencing Ted Cruz’s Genesis twelve three, and notes that many find that off-putting when contrasted with the New Testament, specifically Paul’s writings about the new flesh not being the same as the people in the old covenant. Speaker 1 asks, “Yes. Romans nine?” and agrees with the sentiment. Speaker 0 then asks Speaker 1 if they are Catholic, to which Speaker 1 replies that they are converting Catholic from Judaism, revealing that they are ethnically Jewish. The exchange confirms Speaker 1’s Jewish ethnicity. Speaker 0 brings up concerns about APAC, asking if Speaker 1 has concerns about APAC. Speaker 1 confirms that they do. Speaker 0 notes that some people tell them that criticizing APAC equates to being anti-Semitic, asking whether this is true. Speaker 1 calls that notion ridiculous and says it’s great to have concern for one’s country. The conversation shifts to APAC’s influence. Speaker 0 presents a characterization (as a possible summary of Speaker 1’s view) that APAC represents a form of prioritization that cuts in line, away from the American people. Speaker 0 asks whether this is a fair summary. Speaker 1 answers affirmatively, “100%.” Finally, they articulate the core idea: the public votes and are citizens, but a separate group is described as receiving higher priority for whatever reasons. Speaker 1’s agreement underscores a shared concern that APAC’s influence creates a prioritization that bypasses the ordinary American electorate.

This election is about whether the U.S. is a secular nation or one nation under God. The country is close to losing its republic. The Department of Justice is allegedly being used to persecute political opponents, like in Russia, China, or a Banana Republic. A presidential candidate allegedly said "you're in the wrong crowd" when someone said "Jesus Christ is Lord." According to Matthew 12:34, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Maybe she's the one who doesn't belong.

The speaker argues that “Christians evangelists here in America, which almost all of them are Republicans, they probably all gonna vote for Trump” and that they are “very poor Israel.” He says, without Christianity, the U.S. has little to do with Israel, noting “The only things they are helping us is because of religion reason.” He contends they’re “not doing it for us. They are doing it only for themselves.” He warns, “Make no mistake. They all believe that once we will go back to the holy land and JC Penny will show up to redeem the world, he will put us all to be burned in hell,” because “we've never accepted him, and we won't accept him.” He questions why “a lot of the people who made Aliyah, it's Christian money,” adding “They get hundreds of millions of dollars donation from them.” He says “the Messiah would come,” but “They just have the wrong identity of the Messiah. That's it. They believe that it's actually JC.” “They would dump all the Christian symbols you know well because it would be so obvious that it's all fake. Mhmm. Rabbi Thay”

Speaker describes a moment of divine presence and honors Charlie Kirk as a Christian evangelist. He recalls "two thousand years ago in Jerusalem" when Jesus tells the truth about power; "they hate it," and voices say, "we must make him stop talking" and, "Why don't we just kill him?"—"It doesn't work that way." He adds, "Everything is inverted, and the beatitudes tell it." He notes "Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted." Charlie’s message was to bring the gospel to the country and call for repentance: "the only real solution is Jesus." He contrasts "Politics at its core is a process of critiquing other people and getting them to change" with "Christianity... begins with repentance." The Lord's prayer idea: "forgive us our sins" and "change begins the only change that matters when we repent of our sins." Charlie was fearless: "There was no hate in his heart" and said of opponents, "That's a sad person. That's a broken person. That's a person who needs help. That's a person who needs Jesus." "This is the way."

The speaker argues that Pope Leo the Fourteenth, born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, used a Twitter account under the handle at d r Prevost (doctor Prevost), which was deleted the day after he was elected pope on May 8. The account had repeatedly reshared articles that attacked the Trump administration’s immigration policies and JD Vance’s Roman Catholic theology, including headlines such as “JD Vance is wrong. Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others,” among other politically left-leaning pieces. Trump later found these posts, reshared them on True Social, and commented “not good.” In the following seventy-two hours, he criticized the pope as weak on crime, terrible for foreign policy, and claimed the pope had been chosen as an American specifically to handle Donald Trump. The pope responded with a statement delivered in Algiers, which the speaker describes as not genuine. The pope had recently met privately with Barack Obama’s former political strategist, David Axelrod, at the Vatican just days before claiming he is not political. Axelrod’s involvement is highlighted to suggest political motivation or alignment with Democrats. The speaker notes the timing: days after the Axelrod meeting, the pope publicly criticized Trump and Iran policy, which the speaker implies is connected to efforts to sway Catholic voters away from Trump toward Axelrod’s Democratic circle. The speaker emphasizes that this confrontation sits within a larger frame: while the pope denies political aims, the speaker contends that the gospel itself is radically political. The example given is that publicly declaring Jesus Christ is Lord was historically a radical political statement in the Greco-Roman world, where people could worship various gods but would not declare any lord over them. Throughout, the speaker presents the clash as a battle between a high-profile religious figure and the American president, framed by alleged public endorsements of anti-Trump and anti-America-first rhetoric from the pope’s past social media activity. The pope’s “ancient walls” are invoked as a counter-argument against the pope’s current preaching, suggesting a tension between historical Catholic authority and contemporary political positions. The narrative promises to explain not only how the pope entered this fight but why the pope’s ancient walls serve as the strongest argument against his current stance.

The transcript centers on a chaotic, on-the-ground interview set around a political event described as America First, with strong pro- and anti-Israel sentiments and tensions about free speech and enforcement. - Inside the event, Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss being kicked out and the mystery of why someone was trespassed. They question why they were removed, claiming they were curious about the treatment of the other person and asserting, “There’s no reason you’re getting kicked out.” - The speakers insist on the idea of free speech in America, contrasting it with what they see as limits on criticizing Israel. They reference Candace Owens’ planned appearance and note that Turning Point disavowed her views, stating the organization “does not sponsor her views” and that she’s “not an employee,” implying a hypocrisy in defending free speech while limiting critique of Israel. - There is a recurring theme that Israel is being criticized as a global issue, with claims that “Israel’s leadership be kissing our wall” and assertions that Israel is prosecuting a genocide in Gaza. They state numbers and condemnations, including claims that “they’ve killed 30,000 women and children,” and accuse Israel of using U.S. money and bombs. - The conversation shifts to Christian concerns, arguing that Christians are harmed by Israeli policy—citing that Israel vandalizes Christian churches, bomb Christians in Gaza, and bans the gospel. They argue that if Israel is the “holy land for Christians,” its actions contradict that claim, labeling the land “the devil’s land in Israel” and asserting that “they hate Jesus.” - The speakers discuss anti-Semitism laws, noting that Republicans in multiple states have backed anti-Semitism measures and that there are efforts in Congress and the Department of Education. They claim the definition of anti-Semitism has been broadened to prohibit statements like, for example, saying that Jews killed Jesus, referencing what they describe as the Passion narratives. - Personal beliefs and identity come into play, including an exchange about who should lead, with Speaker 0 saying Christians should be central, and Speaker 1 emphasizing that the country should be Christian and that “Christ is the king of the world,” advocating for Christian leadership in America. - The group comments on the ease of entry and exit from the event, noting that security is visible and that protesters are across the street in a designated protest area. They mention plans to possibly debate Charlie Kirk on the issue, and discuss the internal dynamics of the movement, criticizing figures like Brooke Rollins and JD Vance as part of a broader critique that “America First” has been undermined by insiders. - The conversation ends with plans to leave the scene, take photos, and reconnect with their driver, signaling a departure from the event after a brief appearance and confrontation. They reference future actions, including potential debates and continued protests, and acknowledge the frustration of the current situation.

Speaker 0 argues that America’s economy is war-based and that those who plan it rely on Christians for support. Christian Zionists, by whatever name, are described as the primary enablers of serial wars, sanctions, and occupations of Islamic states. The question posed is why Christians support war when Jesus demanded peace, with the claim that they have been conditioned to see Islam as a threat. Christian Zionist leaders are accused of using themselves as propagandists against Islamic governments, including Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Somalia, Bosnia, Iran, and Sudan. The speaker’s purpose is to explain how this has been done and what can be changed, asserting that wars are an official economic policy of the U.S. government and that Christian Zionists are the only major faction supporting wars in places like Iraq. Responsibility for economic and social disasters, rising energy and food costs, is attributed largely to Christian Zionists, who are described as influential in presidential politics and as among our friends and relatives, requiring a constructive approach rather than ridicule. Speaker 0 states that Christian Zionism is a promoted religion that makes little sense on its own and is not believed for its logic. The claim is that endless wars erode morality and currency, citing Great Britain as an historical example. Christian Zionists are said to be swayed to support war as long as they believe Muslims are on the receiving end and Israel benefits. The speaker emphasizes not excusing Jewish war-making but asserts that for every Jewish Zionist, there are 10 or 20 Christian Zionists doing their work. Christian Zionists are accused of turning away from Jesus’ words, “blessed are the peacemakers,” and love of enemies, and the speaker asserts that followers who fail to stand for justice will be questioned. Speaker 1 adds that the Christian Bible demands peace, with “Blessed are the peacemakers” cited as a central, uncompromising message. They challenge pastors and religious leaders to find any line in the Bible permitting war or killing, concluding there is none. Speaker 0 notes that political change requires understanding the roots of Christian Zionism, mentioning that many who “Israel first” do not identify as Christian Zionists and may deny the label. Media figures at the apex of Christian Zionism—John Hagee, Ron Parsley, Pat Robertson, the late Jerry Falwell—are named as having expressed views that war against Islamic states is necessary, including war against Iran, and some advocate preemptive military action against Iran. Speaker 1 asserts that Christian Zionism is the only religion with war as a core principle, contrasting it with mainstream Christianity of 2,000 years. They question how to identify a Christian Zionist with a litmus test: whether they believe modern Israel fulfills biblical prophecy. Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss biblical interpretation, arguing that God’s promise to Abram did not grant land to present-day Israel forever, and that Scofield’s notes in The Scofield Reference Bible (fundamental to Christian Zionism) distort scripture. They criticize Oxford University Press for promoting Scofield’s notes, suggesting that Scofield’s footnotes insert unbiblical interpretations, such as an unconditional blessing of Israel and a perpetual land grant, and claim that these notes misrepresent the promise and connect blessings and curses to contemporary politics. Historical commentary includes: the Balfour Declaration, World War I involvement, and the role of Zionist influence through Scofield and Oxford University Press in shaping American evangelical support for Israel. Philip Morrow (Gospel of the Kingdom) and Doctor F. Furman Curley are cited as early critics who warned against dispensationalism and Christian Zionism, linking Armageddon predictions to support for war. The transcript includes firsthand testimony from Gaza: Shireen, a Palestinian from Gaza, describing nightly missile raids and occupation, and the film’s purpose to document the consequences of Christian Zionist policy. The concluding appeal urges sharing the film with mainline pastors and encouraging recovery of America for God, rejecting the notion of a divinely ordained Israeli state. The film is dedicated to Shireen and others affected by the conflict.

My granddad was a Baptist preacher, and now I'm studying to become a minister. Christian nationalism is a cancer on our religion, betraying Jesus' teachings. The early church focused on radical love and sharing, but Constantine turned it into a weaponized religion. Today, Christian nationalists prioritize divisive issues over caring for the poor and sick. A truly Christian nation would prioritize forgiveness, healthcare, and love for all. Jesus wouldn't support a Christian theocracy; true heaven is a diverse democracy where power is shared among all people.

Speaker describes a gathering with God's presence, hoping for direction because God is here. He recalls Charlie Kirk as a Christian evangelist who loved groups and spoke truth about those in power, recalling Jerusalem and the impulse to silence truth, including 'Why don't we just kill him?' He notes 'Everything is inverted' and 'Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.' Charlie's message brought the gospel to the country, calling for repentance; politics cannot be the final answer because the only real solution is Jesus. 'Politics at its core is a process of critiquing other people and getting them to change.' Christianity begins with repentance; 'forgive us our sins' precedes forgiving others. He was fearless, with no hate in his heart, and he said, 'That's a sad person, that's a broken person, that's a person who needs help, That's a person who needs Jesus.' This is the way.

The speaker argues that white Christians should be held accountable for America's history of racism and imperialism. They believe that society is currently dominated by white Christians and that even if they have educational points to make, the political system will ignore them and continue to promote Christianity. They also criticize the military-industrial complex and the worship of weapons by white Christians. The speaker calls for the separation of weapons and worship and wants to repent for America's sins. They ask the judge to vote for them to send a message to political leaders and condemn Christianity in politics. The other speaker focuses on rejecting Christian militarism and asks the judge to decide which side does a better job of rejecting it.

We in the National Union for Social Justice believe in Christ's principle of loving your neighbor. I challenge every Jew to say they don't believe in it. We don't need to communize everything under a new God of hatred. When people are so arrogant to think they can change God's law, it's time for citizens to use ballots, not bullets, to push them into the past.

An LGBTQ pastor is confronted about the gospel. The pastor quotes Matthew 19:4, stating marriage is between one man and one woman. When asked about the culture of the time, the pastor references Romans and asks if the other person believes in a moral code. The other person responds by saying the pastor is lost. The pastor states the basic principle of the gospel is to repent, turn to Jesus, and know him. The other person claims the basic foundation of the gospel is love. The pastor believes they are being saved from sin and death, and that the other person is leading people astray into hell.

Speaker 0 foregrounds grace, forgiveness, and integrity in leadership. "I loved what Erica Kirk did on the microphone at the memorial for Charlie Kirk, and when she stated that she forgives the killer of Charlie Kirk, and that was true Christianity," and "not even to want him to get capital punishment because you don't wanna take away that chance that that person can repent and come to the lord Jesus Christ." "It's not about being good... It's about the ultimate good deed that was done by Jesus Christ... by dying on that cross and rising again to take away all of our sins, meaning that his grace covers a multitude of sins." "Jesus Christ is available to you." Speaker 1: "it's one of the most historical, accurately historical records there is." "Our actions speak louder than words." "the first order of any government is to protect its citizens" and there have been "multiple failures over many decades." "it's not about left and right anymore... it's about doing the right thing." "candidates will be fielded." "not looking for career politicians" "people that understand what life is all about." Speaker 0: "Absolutely. ... We've had enough of career politicians... people are looking for something real now, some something true, something with integrity." "This is why the people love Tommy Robinson. ... millions of people at his call came onto the streets," "he is a man of integrity. He's a man of honesty. He's a working class man that speaks the truth."

I'm here in Chicago at Lincoln United Methodist Church, which I believe is a communist organization aiding illegal immigration at the expense of American citizens. This church is the origin of the sanctuary movement and is run by Emma Lozano who is directly involved with what I consider the invasion of America. This isn't an exception; it's happening in major cities across America. It's liberation theology and communism, not God. These places, along with the UN, are aiding the invasion of our country by spreading social justice, transgender ideology and communism. It's not about preaching the word of God. They pretend to be Christian. How many illegals are you harboring? These aren't churches, they are synagogues of Satan.

"Christians need to step up." "As someone who's Jewish, you know, Jews are point o 2% of the world." "We're 2% of America." "We're not trying to take over anything." "I would love to see Christians return back to the church." "I would love to see Christians get back to Jesus." "So Charlie Kirk was a Christian." "Don't get it twisted, but he honored both books, the Old Testament, which are the five books of of Moses, and the New Testament, the teachings of Jesus." "So it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive." "There's no better role model for young men than Charlie Kirk."

I attended a TPUSA faith event expecting to learn about politics from a biblical perspective, but the experience did not meet those expectations. The speaker began by calling out Candace Owens as evil and antisemitic, stating that “what she's doing is evil,” which made me want to leave immediately. I stayed only because, upon entering, security checked me five times and armed men were stationed in front of me, with one armed man on stage. Inside the church, the speaker spoke repeatedly about Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, framing them as evil and antisemitic. He indirectly urged support for Israel by saying “Jesus was a Jew” and that “we wouldn’t have Christianity without Judaism,” among other claims. I disagree with the framing that Christians should support “this evil doing because these people are Jewish,” which I found to be wrong. The speaker also seemed to echo comments about Camille Owens and Charlie Cook, noting that Cook had started to question Israel in the weeks before his passing, and that Camille Owens was his best friend. The preaching itself did not feel like preaching; it was characterized by name-calling and a focus on the left, with terms like “left idiots” and “freaks.” I questioned whether this approach aligned with biblical teaching, recalling that Jesus “ate with sinners” and “prostitutes,” and worried that spreading hate through the stage and by the audience—especially teenagers—was shaping a future generation of Christians toward division. The event left me uneasy about the message being delivered, as it centered on denigrating those with political disagreements rather than focusing on shared faith. The speaker labeled the left as inferior and spent the majority of the time criticizing liberals, rather than addressing important Christian issues. By the end, I felt I hadn’t learned anything substantive. The discussion emphasized partisan conflict and broad generalizations about the left, rather than focusing on constructive biblical or political principles. In addition to the ideological focus, I noted the security environment with armed guards and an armed figure on stage, which contributed to an overall sense of unease. The speaker’s emphasis on opposing the left and on contentious topics like men in women’s sports and bathrooms framed as political talking points, rather than pressing concerns central to Christian discourse.
