Charlie Kirk Warns American Church: We're Raising a Generation to Curse Their Parents and Abandon Faith
[Audio Only] Charlie Kirk delivers a stirring warning to Christian leaders about the infiltration of wokism, post-modernism, and deconstructionism into American churches. Speaking at a gathering of ministry leaders in Colorado Springs, Kirk connects the breakdown of the parent-child bond to the Ten Commandments, argues that the American church founded the nation through courageous pastors like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitfield, and calls for the complete excommunication of heretical ideologies from Christianity. He challenges pastors to stop being afraid of the Bible, reveals the FBI's targeting of pastors who pray outside abortion clinics, and shares why he believes America stands on the verge of another Great Awakening. Kirk also explains how Turning Point USA has witnessed thousands of young people, many who have never heard the gospel, giving their lives to Christ at political conferences, proving that politics can be a gateway to evangelism rather than a barrier to faith.
The Crisis of Honor: A Generation Taught to Curse Their Parents
Charlie Kirk opens his presentation by connecting the current cultural crisis to one of the Ten Commandments that directly involves our country and includes a promise. He emphasizes that honoring your father and mother is the only commandment that says "you may live long in the land of which you are in." According to Kirk, an entire generation has been raised not just to dishonor their parents, but to curse them.
Kirk explains that incentive structures now exist that encourage young people to deconstruct and push back against their parents' beliefs. He notes that in the original Hebrew, to honor your parents actually shares the same root as the word meaning "to treat heavily" or "to treat seriously," while to curse them shares the root meaning "lightly." The contrast is striking: heavy versus light, honor versus curse.
Kirk frequently encounters left-wing students who tell him their parents don't understand what they've just learned at university. His response? "It's probably a good thing they don't know what you just learned at University." He argues that totalitarians and Lucifer himself know they can destroy America by wrecking the bond between parent and child.
Does the Bible Call Us to Care About Our Nation?
Some pastors have told Kirk that nowhere in the Bible does it say Christians should care about their nation. Kirk challenges this assertion directly, pointing to Jeremiah 29:7, which commands believers to "demand the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is directly tied to your nation's welfare."
He highlights biblical figures like Daniel, Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Esther, and Mordecai who all fought for God's purpose in secular government, serving as counselors to kings. Kirk asks pointedly: Is the American Church currently the counselor to the king? His answer is a resounding no. Instead, there exists a divide where many Christians claim it doesn't matter what happens to America.
Kirk presents a sobering reality: 80% of all money that funds ministries worldwide comes from America. If America falls, there will be a vacuum filled with chaos, evil, and discord the likes of which we've never seen. He calls out the ingratitude of those who say they don't care about the nation's fate.
A Call to Action: No More Silent Pastors and Ministries
Kirk addresses what he sees as a powerful room of ministry leaders and donors, issuing a direct challenge: "We're not going to put up with another Pastor or Ministry that doesn't speak out against this stuff. I don't care how nice they are."
He acknowledges that many people excuse certain pastors or ministries by saying they do good work in particular areas. But Kirk insists the question must be: Are they speaking out on the issues that matter right now, or are they pandering to a broken culture and broken world?
Kirk believes that if the room of ministry leaders, funders, and board members gathered and organized, it could change the landscape overnight. The strategy would involve lifting up leaders like Dr. James Dobson who have been boldly speaking truth for decades, while understanding that boldness comes with slings and arrows.
The "Jesus Is Coming Soon" Excuse
Kirk addresses an argument he increasingly encounters: people who claim Jesus is coming soon (perhaps next Thursday), therefore they don't have to engage in cultural or political battles. While Kirk jokes that his eschatology is "pan-trib"—it's all going to pan out in the end—he actually believes Jesus might be coming soon. But rather than being a reason to retreat, Kirk argues this should motivate believers to do more.
"What do you want to be caught doing when Jesus returns?" Kirk asks. "You want to be twiddling your thumbs?" He emphasizes the need to lean in and be salt and light. As Barry McGuire says, salt and light are the two things that change the environment they encounter—they don't pander to those environments. Light makes dark lighter, and salt literally changes the environment it comes in contact with.
The Left's Big Bet: Taking Over America by Silencing the Church
Kirk reveals what he sees as the left's strategy, explaining that George Soros and the World Economic Forum are pumping money into a specific bet: they can take over America because they believe they can get the American church not to care. He notes they say this out loud, which is why they try to accuse believers of being "Christian Nationalists."
Kirk presents two possible futures. One path involves doing nothing, sitting on our hands, accepting that it's not clear which way to go, accepting FBI raids on pastors' homes as normal, and just doing our own thing. The alternative is a different course of action: doing what the American church has always done.
The Church Founded America
Kirk emphasizes that we don't talk enough about how the American Church founded America. From Jonathan Mayhew to Jonathan Edwards to George Whitfield, it was courageous pastors who founded America and gave the founding fathers the courage and theological and moral clarity to write the Declaration of Independence and fight the Revolutionary War.
The Black Robe Regiment gave over 50,000 sermons across the Eastern Seaboard that laid an amazing framework for the Founders to declare that our rights come from God, not from King George. Every Great Awakening, every time America has been falling or slipping, it has been pastor after pastor, awakening after awakening, that rises up and steps up.
Kirk believes we are on the verge of another Great Awakening and Revival, and this generation desperately needs it. But he warns it's going to be different than any other awakening. It won't be about skinny jeans or pastors cursing from stage to seem cool. It will be about bold truth, preaching word for word from the Bible, going verse by verse and chapter by chapter.
Pastors Must Stop Being Afraid of the Bible
Kirk makes a bold statement: "Our pastors have to stop being afraid of the Bible." He recounts seeing a sermon where a pastor said they don't really talk about Leviticus and Deuteronomy at their church, preferring to focus on the New Testament. Kirk expresses disbelief at this selective approach, asking how such pastors can fail to understand the harmony of scriptures and how God created a beautiful story for all mankind to resonate with.
He points out that the founding fathers weren't afraid of the Old Testament—they put Leviticus on the Liberty Bell with the inscription "Proclaim Liberty throughout the land." John Adams spoke fluent Hebrew, and 55 out of 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Bible-believing, church-attending Christians.
For apathetic Christians, Kirk poses a challenging question: Why do you get to receive something that Christians sacrificed for but you think you don't have to do anything? That's not being a good steward—that's being ungrateful and just casting aside the greatest political document ever created and the American family that kept the country alive and strong.
If Not the Church, Then What?
Kirk asks realistically: If it's not for the American Church, what else is going to turn this country around? He acknowledges that many people have anxiety about the nation right now, but warns that if the church sits idly by long term, the opposition will run over believers, and we know how that ends.
But Kirk also notes that the other side can do math. They know that if the church rises up, things get out of control for them. If evangelical Christians alone start actually getting their congregations to vote and spreading this message, the people pushing unspeakably evil issues won't know what to do. That's precisely why they must do everything possible to keep believers complacent and silent.
A Generation Yearning for Truth
Reflecting on his years working on college campuses, Kirk describes a generation that is yearning for truth—things that are clearly stated and do not change. He distinguishes between two types of knowledge: practical knowledge (things that change) and eternal knowledge or wisdom (things that never change). Christians don't just have a good story to tell; they have the only story to tell.
Kirk makes a controversial statement: "I don't think you're allowed to be afraid as a Christian." He also doesn't think Christians are allowed to be apathetic or cynical. While acknowledging he might be "woefully optimistic," Kirk argues that if you truly believe Jesus is your Lord and Savior, how could you be apathetic, cynical, or afraid? True boldness of faith means having conviction and being willing to fight for liberty—which is not man's idea but God's idea—and that can spread like wildfire.
The Pastor Summit and the Goal to Abolish Wokism
Kirk describes a recent Pastor Summit where 400 pastors and wives from across America gathered to discuss these critical issues. When asked what success looks like for him in the church space, Kirk provides clear parameters.
He draws a comparison to chapters of heresy in American Christianity, such as the 1820s when John C. Calhoun wrote extensively saying the Bible supported slavery—a heresy that was wrong and evil. Throughout American history, pastors eventually got a spine and rose up against such heresies, excommunicating these lies from the church and Christianity.
Kirk's goal is simple: "We want to make wokism, post-modernism, deconstructionism, and the pushing back of the inerrancy of scripture an unconscionable heretical belief." If any pastor, board member, or donor promotes these ideas, they should be put into the fringes of American Christianity. The mission is to abolish wokism in the American church.
How the Enemy Infiltrates Churches
Kirk explains the playbook: The enemy knows what he's doing with diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology. They start to infiltrate big churches, and soon there are conversations questioning whether the Bible is really true. It happens fast. Questions arise like: Did Noah's Ark really happen? Maybe we don't have to teach that part. Or perhaps Jesus was actually a Marxist revolutionary and we've been reading the Bible through the wrong lens—a white colonialist lens.
The same framework that wants people to deconstruct their patriotism and country goes straight after the truth itself. But Kirk emphasizes that truth corrects error, and truth sets people free. This is what makes the current moment so exciting—it's the greatest opportunity for evangelism in the last 50 to 100 years.
Politics as a Gateway to the Gospel
Kirk shares an amazing testimony from Turning Point USA's work. The organization hosts students from all backgrounds—many Christians and many who are not Christians. At their massive conferences featuring speakers like Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, and Laura Ingraham, they hold an optional worship service on Sunday morning at 7 AM (after many attendees were likely making "interesting decisions" the night before).
Thousands of young people show up to these optional worship services, and hundreds give their lives to the Lord who have never heard the gospel before. Kirk emphasizes: "Only politics got them in the room." Christians have been told repeatedly that politics turns people off, but Kirk calls this "rubbish."
He points out that 75 million people voted for Donald Trump. How many of them have a ticket to heaven? How many have given their life to the Lord? Those 75 million people don't believe men can become pregnant, they believe America is a great country, and they believe in natural law. Kirk argues this is a great starting point—an interesting ministry opportunity with people already in alignment with natural law and God's commands who can then be set free from the nonsense happening in our country.
The Beauty of Creation and the Religion of Atheism
Every time Kirk comes to Colorado Springs, he says he loses more respect for atheists. Looking at the beauty of the area and claiming it was just "the roll of the dice" seems absurd to him. Kirk debates atheists frequently and considers atheism itself a religion—the fastest-growing religion in America. In certain cities, there are now more atheists than Christians, and atheists are often more committed to evangelism than most Christians on college campuses.
Kirk recounts a recent debate with an atheist in Kansas City. The conversation demonstrated in real time what happens when Christians stay silent. The atheist claimed there is no God but all that matters is leading a good life. When Kirk asked how the atheist knows what's "good," the response involved Darwinism. Kirk then asked: If you believe in survival of the fittest, why shouldn't we just get rid of Down syndrome babies in the womb like they do in Iceland? The atheist responded that it's probably a good idea.
This exchange reveals what happens when you remove morality, Christianity, and the center. Often, we take for granted that certain customs and morals are universally agreed upon. But remove Christianity and the Christian Church from society, and you see a preview of what's happening right now. The globalists understand this dynamic.
The Global Game and the Great Reset
Kirk references his conversations with Pastor Jack Hibbs about the Great Reset. There is a global game underway to destroy American sovereignty, deteriorate the currency, and implement various destructive policies. The key to this strategy is corrupting the American Church, making it weak and complacent so they can take over.
Why Politics Actually Matters
Kirk addresses Christians who claim it doesn't matter who wins elections or that politics is irrelevant. He finds this perspective privileged and entitled, noting that the FBI is literally raiding pastors every weekend because they pray outside abortion clinics. He urges people to get educated on what the FBI has been doing recently.
Kirk reflects on those "snobbish smug Christians" who in 2016 said they wouldn't vote for Donald Trump because he was the worst option—someone with a colorful life who might be braggadocious, narcissistic, and egotistical. Regardless of personal feelings about Trump, Kirk states a fact: he was used as an instrument of the Lord to repeal Roe v. Wade. Neither previous Republican presidents accomplished this. It took an imperfect vessel, much like Samson in the Bible.
Kirk points out that the Samson story is remarkable—God came to Samson while he was in a prostitute's bed, Samson took the jaw of a donkey and killed a thousand Philistines, and he ends up in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews. Why? Because Samson was willing to fight when others weren't.
The belief that politics don't matter is a uniquely modern American Christian perspective. What people are really saying when they claim politics is irrelevant is that morals don't matter. But if believers want a fighting chance at preventing churches from being labeled "non-essential" again, stopping pornography in local schools, or preventing medical mutilation of children, then unfortunately politics is the only vessel to communicate much of this.
Kirk also warns that blue states will likely try to outlaw homeschooling in the next five years, using France and Germany as blueprints. When people say courts will overturn such laws, Kirk asks: Who put the judges there who will make those decisions?
Three Types of People in This Fight
Kirk dedicates his life to this mission, traveling 330 days across America last year, doing three hours of radio every day, two podcasts daily, and giving campus lectures from Kansas City to Tallahassee. He acknowledges the work comes at a price—death threats and family put in danger—but says it's part of the game.
He identifies three types of people: those who do nothing, the fighters, and those who help the fighters. If you can't be one of the fighters on the front lines, Kirk says, then be the person who can help the fighters—be the John Hancock who supplies the munitions and resources necessary for people to fight on the front lines. The prayers and notes of support don't fall on deaf ears or end up void, because the work does wear down those on the front lines.
Kirk notes that every major media company is trying to destroy the work at Turning Point USA, yet the organization is on pace to have 1,000 high school chapters by the end of the year. He thanks supporters for making this possible and for getting in the arena alongside them to make an American awakening happen.
Churchill's Lesson: Once the Americans Awaken, Everything Changes
Kirk closes with a story about Winston Churchill, whom he calls the greatest man who lived in the 20th century. The morning after Pearl Harbor, Churchill was the only man smiling. While devastating news surrounded everyone else, Churchill walked into the war cabinet room with whiskey and a cigar, chipper and cheerful.
He proclaimed to his distraught War Cabinet: "We have won the war." Everyone thought he had lost his mind. They were losing 2,000 Royal Air Force members every day, barely got troops out of Dunkirk, faced a planned amphibious invasion, and couldn't field a suitable military to retake lost European lands.
Churchill took a puff of his cigar and a sip of whiskey at eight o'clock in the morning and explained: "I've studied the Americans for a couple decades, fought alongside them, and they're tricky people—often late to the party. But let me tell you this: once the Americans have awoken, everything changes."
Kirk applies this lesson to today: "I tell you right now, once we awaken and we get an Awakening going in America, we're going to win and they're going to lose."

and having an outspoken conservative
voice Charlie and his wife Erica are the
parents of a beautiful young daughter
well let's jump right back into Charlie
Kirk's presentation right now here on a
special edition of Dr James Dobson's
family talk
I have to say one of the reasons why I
love Dr Dobson's work and all of this I
got to say is
we think back to the Ten Commandments
the only one of the Ten Commandments
that involves your country and A promise
is honor your mother and father
it's the only one of the Ten
Commandments that says on your mother
and father say you may live long in the
land of which you are in and we have
raised an entire generation to not just
dishonor their parents but to curse
their parents
there is now incentive structures and to
say that my parents beliefs I must
deconstruct them I must push back
against them you go back to the actual
Hebrew to honor your parents actually
the same root of the word is to treat
your parents heavily to treat them very
seriously
the word curse actually is the same
Hebrew word of lightly
you think about the root of the word
light and curse it's the same thing
heavy and honor is the same thing now it
doesn't say you have to love your
parents it does later in the New
Testament but not in the Ten
Commandments and I hear all the time
from students left-wing students my
parents don't know what I just learned
at University
I say yeah it's probably a good thing
they don't know what you just learned at
University
but that's exactly what the
totalitarians want Lucifer knows he
could destroy America the enemy knows he
could destroy America by Wrecking the
bond between a parent and a child I hear
sometimes from pastors they say Charlie
nowhere in the Bible does it say that I
should care about my nation
and I said oh you must be like those
guys that only talk about Matthew and
Mark right because in Jeremiah it says
demand the welfare of the nation that
you are in because your welfare is
directly tied to your nation's welfare
Jeremiah 29 7. Daniel Nehemiah Jeremiah
Esther Mordecai all fought for God's
purpose and secular government to be the
proper role which is counselor to the
king is the American Church currently
the counselor to the king no
in fact there's this big divide where
they say you know it doesn't matter what
happens to America how are you going to
fund your Ministries 80 of all the money
that funds Ministries Worldwide comes
from America America Falls there will be
a vacuum what will fill that vacuum is
Chaos evil Discord the likes of which
we've never seen and by the way just how
ungrateful have we become as a people to
say I don't care
we are so much better than that aren't
we so what can this room do this is a
very powerful room I'm so touched by
meeting so many of you here's the call
to action we're not going to put up with
another Pastor or Ministry that doesn't
speak out against this stuff I don't
care how nice they are
that's the call to action because I
guarantee you if we put together
everyone in this room of all the
different Ministries and they say well
you know this person does so good with
this topic and all this you got to say
are they speaking out on the issues that
matter right now or are they pandering
to kind of a broken culture and a broken
world if this room got together and
gathered and organized it could change
overnight from the funding side the
influence side the board member side and
then lift up people like Dr Dobson and
say he's been doing this for decades and
yes you're going to get slings and
arrows and people are going to say
things towards you but aren't we called
at a time like this to be bold and
courageous now sometimes this is an
argument I'm getting more and more
um where people say Charlie Jesus is
coming next Thursday uh therefore I
don't have to do any of this stuff and
so look people ask me about my
eschatology all the time my pre-trib and
my post trip I'm pan trip it's all going
to pan out in the end okay so it's not
it's not my it's not my shtick but I
actually think Jesus might be coming
soon that's a reason to do more it's not
a reason to retreat in fact what do you
want to be caught doing when Jesus
returns you want to be twiddingly your
thumbs right you want to be like well
you know I was just kind of talking all
the same people or I retreated oh you
got to lean in and try to be Salt and
Light and as Barry McGuire always says
Salt and Light are the two things that
change the environment of which they
encounter they don't Pander those
environments they change it light makes
dark lighter and salt literally changes
the environment comes in contact with
and so this room can change America
um but I could tell you from the
political side right now the left knows
exactly what they're doing
the big bed of the left and this is why
Soros is pumping money and that's why
the world economic forum is doing this
and I don't know even if everyone in
this room is aware of this their big bet
is they take over America because they
think they can get the American church
not to care
they say it out loud that's why they try
to accuse you of being a Christian
Nationalist and all this other stuff and
so I'm here just trying to warn you guys
right now
one of two things happened we do nothing
and we just kind of sit in our hands
like well it's not really clear about
the way to go and you know it's okay if
pastors homes are rated by the FBI and
you know it's okay we're just going to
kind of do our thing or we can have a
different course of action and do what
the American church has always done
which is first the American Church
founded America
we don't talk enough about this from
Jonathan Mayhew to Jonathan Edwards to
George Whitfield it was courageous
pastors that founded America and gave
the founding fathers the courage and the
theological and moral Clarity to write
the Declaration of Independence and
fight the Revolutionary War the black
robe regimen gave over 50 000 sermons
across the Eastern Seaboard that laid
this amazing framework for our Founders
to be able to say you know what our
rights from come from God not from King
George from every Great Awakening every
time America has been falling every time
America has been slipping it's been
Pastor after Pastor Awakening after
Awakening that rises up and steps up and
yes we are on the verge of another Great
Awakening on the verge of a Revival in
this country boy does this generation
need it but guess what it's going to be
different than any other Awakening and
Revival it's not going to be skinny
jeans it's not going to be pandering and
saying curse words from stage like
you're some sort of cool Pastor it's
going to be bold truth it's going to be
preaching word for word from the Bible
it's going to be going verse by verse
and chapter by chapter and by the way
our pastors have to stop being afraid of
the Bible I'm going to say that again
they got to stop being afraid of the
Bible they are they're like well you
know there's some part I I saw this
sermon the other day someone sent it to
me it's woke pastors you guys got to
follow it it's great great social media
account where they literally clip up all
these this one guy says yeah you know we
don't really talk about Leviticus and
Deuteronomy around here we just kind of
focus on the New Testament wow you don't
understand the harmony of the scriptures
you don't understand
how God created this beautiful story For
All Mankind to resonate with who are you
now to micromanage and saying well you
know maybe there's some parts we don't
focus on you know how we know the
founding fathers were awesome they put
Leviticus on the Liberty Bell okay
not Psalms not John Leviticus okay
Proclaim Liberty throughout the land of
which you are in
John Adams spoke fluent Hebrew
55 out of 56 of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence we're
bible-believing Church attending
Christians
and so for any of the apathetic
Christians out there I don't think
there's many in this room but they're
out there the question should also be
why do you get to receive something that
Christians sacrificed for but you think
you don't have to do anything
that's not being a good Steward that's
being ungrateful
just casting it aside there's never been
a country like America period it's the
freest most amazing place ever to exist
in the history of the world because a
courageous sacrifices of generations
before the greatest political document
ever the American Family kept our
country alive and strong despite many
attempts of the enemy to destabilize it
and let's just kind of look
realistically if it's not for the
American Church what else is going to
turn this around because I know a lot of
you have anxiety about the nation right
now but long term
if the church kind of sits idly by
they're going to run us over and what we
know how that ends up right but here's
the thing
they actually can do math the other side
and they know that if the church Rises
up this thing gets out of control for
them
if Evangelical Christians alone start
actually getting their congregation to
vote and getting this message out
you're going to all of a sudden see the
bad guys the people that are pushing for
these issues that are just so
unspeakably evil they're not going to
know what to do that's why they have to
do everything they possibly can to try
to keep us complacent and keep us silent
and so you know I think of
a couple things
as I reflect back on the few years I've
been doing this on college campuses and
it is a generation that is yearning for
truth it is
and it's a generation that wants to hear
things that are clearly stated and
things that do not change there's two
types of knowledge there's practical
knowledge things that change and eternal
knowledge or wisdom things that never
change and we have not just a good story
to tell we have the only story to tell
and this is what I always laugh at when
Christians they say Charlie I'm so
afraid
and I'm going to say something rather
controversial I don't think you're
allowed to be afraid as a Christian
I also don't think you're allowed to be
apathetic or cynical
now call me like woefully optimistic but
if you truly believe that Jesus is your
lord and savior that how could you be
apathetic cynical or afraid
now I'm not trying to accuse anyone of
not having faith but that doesn't seem
like boldness of Faith instead I look at
when you see someone that really
believes what they believe
and is willing to lean in and do
something about it
then all of a sudden you realize that
that conviction that fight for liberty
which is not man's idea but it's God's
idea
that can spread like wildfire
and so it's it's a call to action very
clearly we just had an amazing Pastor
Summit we had 400 pastors and wives from
across America that were gathering all
around these issues and someone asked me
they said Charlie what does success look
like for you in the church space because
trust me I would be happy to just have
been right with my prediction I thought
the church loved Liberty I was wrong
here's it's very simple I will retire
from all things in the American church
if we could do the following and I'll
give you some backstory
in American Christianity there have been
chapters of heresy in the 1820s there
was a man by the name of John C Calhoun
who wrote extensively saying the Bible
supported slavery
it's a it's a heresy it was wrong it was
evil
there were other heresies throughout
American history and then pastors
started to get a spine and rise up
against it and say we must excommunicate
these heresies and these lies from the
church and from a Christianity our goal
is very simple we want to make wokism
post-modernism deconstructionism and the
pushing back of the inerrancy of
scripture a unconscionable heretical
belief where that if any Pastor if any
board member if any donor says that
stuff that they are put into the fringes
of American Christianity we want to
abolish wokism in the American church
that is my goal and it's not going to
happen overnight you have to rebuke the
evil where it rears its its head and the
enemy knows what he's doing this is how
it plays out I'm telling you this
diversity Equity inclusion garbage all
this stuff it's very simple they start
to infiltrate these big churches and
then soon there will be conversations of
well is the bible really true
it happens that fast
it's like well who's to say that you
know Noah's Ark really happened like we
don't have to talk we don't have to
teach that part
or maybe Jesus was actually a Marxist
revolutionary and we've been reading it
through the wrong lens
because we're reading it through a white
colonialist lens it goes straight after
the faith overnight
that same framework that wants you to
deconstruct your patriotism and your
country goes straight after the truth
itself
truth corrects error but truth sets
people free and this is what's so
exciting about what we can do is that
this is the greatest moment ever for
evangelism I think in the last 50 years
and last hundred years and the
opportunity is right there but it's
going to be a different Revival I think
as I said previously it's a Galatians 3
where the law is a school teacher to
Christ you know at Turning Point USA we
have students from all backgrounds we
have a lot of Christians we have a lot
of kids that are not Christians but you
know what's amazing to see we have these
massive conferences where we have Tucker
Carlson we have Donald Trump we have
Laura Ingram the biggest names you could
imagine and then we have an optional
worship service on Sunday morning at 7
A.M after many of them were probably
making let's just say interesting
decisions the night before
and when we have that worship morning
optional we have thousands of kids
showing up hundreds giving their life to
the Lord that have never heard the
gospel before never and and here's the
amazing thing
only politics got them in the room
how many times have we been told the
opposite oh politics turns people off
rubbish
there's 75 million people that voted for
Donald Trump how many of them have a
ticket to heaven
how many of people have given their life
to the Lord of that 75 million people
here's a good start those 75 million
people don't believe men can become
pregnant
they believe America is a great country
and they believe in the natural law
isn't that a great place to start I know
it's not for everybody but it sure is an
interesting Ministry opportunity when
you think about it
of people that might be in alignment
with the natural law and God's commands
to then set them free of all this
nonsense that's happening here in our
country and so I'll kind of close with a
couple thoughts I'm doing a pastor's
close so it's going to be multiple
closes so um
I do want to say every time I come to
Colorado Springs I lose more and more
respect for atheists when you look at
the beauty around here and just to say
that this was the role of the dice you
go so down in the book for those and by
the way I debate atheists all the time
and that's another interesting thing you
got to ask your pastor how often are you
actually debating an atheist because in
some ways I believe atheism is a
religion it's the fastest growing
religion in America in certain cities
there are more atheists than Christians
um and atheists by the way are more
committed to evangelism than most
Christians are on college campuses but
that's a separate issue
um and I always have fun with the
atheist
but we must understand that if you
reduce atheism down I just had a whole
debate against one in Kansas City the
other night we've been kind of
ping-ponging around America this week
and it's you could see in real time in
my conversation with this atheist what
ends up happening if Christians stay
silent because this atheist says well
look Charlie there is no God but all
that matters is leading a good life
and I say well how do you know it's good
and he kind of had some sort of rubbish
about Darwinism or something and so I
asked him I said well so you believe in
the survival of the fittest you say of
course so then why shouldn't we just get
rid of down syndrome babies in the womb
like they do in Iceland he said that's
probably a good idea
like that that's what happens when you
remove morality you remove Christianity
you remove the center and so often we
take it for granted don't we we're like
oh yeah these are agreed upon customs
and morals that everyone has no it's not
you remove that Christianity you remove
the Christian Church from all of that
you start to see kind of the preview of
what we're seeing right now and the
globalists know this and some of you
have kind of seen what we've talked
about with the great reset and kind of
our our conversation with Jack Hibbs on
that there is a global game going on
here
to destroy American sovereignty to
deteriorate our currency to do all these
different things and they know that if
they can try to corrupt the American
Church make it weak and complacent they
could take it all over one final note
here on the election and now some people
out you guys might be out there like oh
Charlie I don't care about politics it
doesn't matter who wins
I hear it all the time from Christians
by the way all the time I get emails
they say it doesn't matter and I say and
I hope those people that know that do
know the FBI is literally rating pastors
every weekend because they pray outside
of abortion clinics and you guys don't
know about that please get educated on
what the FBI has been doing recently
um but
I think to myself I say you know what
how privileged and entitled one must be
to have said that in 2016. those
snobbish smug Christians that said I'm
not going to vote for that guy he's the
worst Donald Trump that guy who's
obviously a lot of colorful life who you
might think is braggadocious and
narcissistic and egotistical and I've
heard all of your one-liners those of
you that believe those things fine he
was used as an instrument of the Lord to
repeal Roe versus way
that is that is a fact
and guess what
Bush didn't do that either Bush and and
I'm told they're Christians that's great
terrific it took an imperfect vessel and
boy aren't we all like Samson if you
read the Samson story correctly let's
just say um you can't exactly explain
that to a child
um God came to him while he's in a
prostitute's bed took a jaw of a donkey
and killed what a thousand Philistines
and he ends up in the Hall of faith in
Hebrews
you know why because Samson was willing
to fight when others weren't
and I I think of when people say
politics don't matter
and it's a uniquely American belief Now
in America modern American Christianity
to be able to say such a thing and
really what they're saying is morals
don't matter but boy if you even want a
fighting shot of not having your church
be non-essential again or not having
pornography in local schools are not
having medical mutilation then
unfortunately politics is the only
vessel to be able to communicate a lot
of that stuff how about this they're
going to Outlaw homeschooling in almost
every blue state in the next five years
don't believe me look at France and
Germany they're using it as a blueprint
I was like I'm gonna homeschool my kids
how are you gonna do that in California
in five years when they try to Outlaw it
like oh a court will overturn it who put
the judge then that will overturn it
then pal
and that's what we have to continue to
challenge our pastors to stand boldly
courageously and clearly I'll close with
this which is kind of people ask me all
the time I know I keep saying I'm
closing but again past this close
they say Charlie I've done everything
you've asked of me
I watched Tucker Carlson
every night I bought the pillow and
promo code Kirk by the way and get those
Giza dream seats they're really the
slippers are great
mypillow.com they're really special
I have tons of relief factor I bought
the gold I have the chair that goes up
the stairs I reverse mortgage my home I
called the Medicare helpline I don't
know what else I could do Charlie I've
done everything that's been asked of me
and it's going to require more
than that you've got to be in the arena
folks and here's my call to action look
I've dedicated my short life to this
praise God and thank you for all of that
has supported us Mike Ingram Barry
Victor I look around the room so many
generous people thank you for making it
possible last year we traveled 330 days
Across America I do three hours of radio
every single day two podcasts a day uh
just this week alone I've been in like
six different states giving campus
lectures from Kansas City to Tallahassee
you name it I've been there and doing
radio and all that stuff in between we
love what we get to do not complaining
it's awesome and thank you for that but
yes it does come at a price death
threats you know family put in danger
all that stuff whatever it's part of the
game all I'm asking you guys there's
three different types of people the
people that there's one category of the
people that do nothing then there's the
people that are the fighters but if you
can't be one of the fighters that's okay
then just be one of the people that can
help the fighters
and be the person that is the John
Hancock that can supply the Munitions
and Supply the things necessary
for people to be able to fight on the
front lines I can't tell you how
critically important that is and for the
prayers of support that you guys give us
for the notes that you write to us it
does not fall on deaf ears or end up
being void because you know what it does
wear us down we're on the front lines
it's just a Non-Stop barrage campaign of
every major media organ Mike Ingram and
I was talking about this every media
company trying to reach out and destroy
the work we're doing at Turning Point
USA do you know where on Pace to have 1
000 High School Chapters at Turning
Point USA by the end of this year I mean
they're doing everything they possibly
can to try to destabilize our work and
so I want to thank you guys for
supporting us and for praying for us but
also getting the arena alongside of us
and we have to try to make an American
awakening happen when the greatest man
who lived in the 20th century Winston
Churchill woke up the morning after
Pearl Harbor he was the only man smiling
and I wish we taught our kids more about
Churchill Churchill is the greatest man
in many different ways
Pearl Harbor was devastating and
Churchill was smiling and walked into
the war cabinet room with a thing of
whiskey and a cigar and his whole War
cabinet was distraught and despondent
and he was chipper and cheerful and he
walks in and he proclaims to his fellow
War board we have won the war
and everyone's like what
he says it again we've won the war
and a brave soul decides to speak up and
says sir have you lost your bloody mind
we are losing 2 000 Royal Air Force
members every day we barely got our
troops out of Dunkirk they're planning
an amphibious Invasion via Brighton to
our aisle there is a call for your
resignation we can't field a suitable
military to be able to take back the
lands that were lost in Europe what do
you mean we have won the war
and Churchill took a puff of his cigar
and a sip of whiskey at eight o'clock in
the morning
and he said ah I've studied the
Americans for a couple decades fought
alongside of them and they were tricky
people often late to the party but let
me tell you this once the Americans have
awoken
everything changes and I tell you right
now what happened in Pearl Harbor those
Americans they are awake and the Nazis
will be defeated and the war is over
everybody we awaken and we get an
Awakening going in America we're going
to win and they're gonna lose God bless
you guys thank you so much
thank you
in Proverbs 22 6 we read a very familiar
verse train up a child in the way he
should go and even when he is old he
will not depart from it these biblical
words ring true and are so profound I'm
