00:01:29.340 Kirk is a man of faith, a husband, father, actor, producer, speaker, and an icon in the television
00:01:36.480 and film industry.

00:02:18.740 And won't you please join me as we listen to the conversation between Tanya Gah and Kirk Cameron.
00:02:24.780 Well, thank you, Heather, and welcome, everybody.
00:02:33.640 This is going to be an amazing show tonight.
00:02:36.200 I'm so happy to have Kirk Cameron here tonight.
00:02:39.940 We're going to be talking about a lot of important issues.
00:02:43.040 We're going to be talking about the libraries and reading to children.
00:02:46.360 We're going to be talking about homeschooling.
00:02:48.480 And as you know, back to school is right around the corner.
00:02:51.160 And we are campaigning for as many parents as possible to pull their kids out of school
00:02:56.560 and actually give them learning and safe spaces.
00:03:00.200 We want to talk about safe spaces.
00:03:01.740 That's the way to go.
00:03:03.120 OK, so, Kirk, welcome.
00:03:05.800 It's so good to have you on the show.
00:03:08.020 And welcome.
00:03:10.220 Thank you, Tanya.
00:03:11.480 Thank you so much.
00:03:12.240 I'm really excited to be talking with you.
00:03:13.820 So, so encouraged and inspired by all that you're doing there in Canada.
00:03:20.180 And I want to learn more.
00:03:22.960 And I'm happy to be on the program.
00:03:26.000 Great.
00:03:26.360 Well, I, you know, a little pre-show, we were talking about Action for Canada's notices of
00:03:31.300 liability and our campaign to combat this within our school boards.
00:03:35.220 Before we get into talking a little more about that, I think it's really important for people
00:03:41.180 to know more about who Kirk Cameron is and how the Lord brought you to be where you are
00:03:47.520 today and being able to speak into the hearts and minds of millions of people, not only in
00:03:53.900 the U.S. or Canada, but around the world.
00:03:56.640 And I was hoping that we could start with your conversion story.
00:03:59.880 When I'm preparing for guests to come on and creating their bio pages, I do a lot of
00:04:06.120 research and I found your conversion story heartwarming, how you got into acting, because
00:04:12.080 I understand that you had big plans to be a doctor.
00:04:15.300 And then I also really appreciated the story of how you met your wife and the adoption of
00:04:22.240 your four children and then your two additional children.
00:04:26.800 And I think that what I felt that very much aligned with Action for Canada is you have
00:04:32.900 an uncompromising spirit.
00:04:35.060 And because of that, God has just blessed you and given you a platform to speak into
00:04:40.240 the hearts and minds and the lives of so many people.
00:04:43.280 So I just want to hand the floor over to you and just let you go at it there for a minute.
00:04:47.860 Well, you've made my life sound so inspiring.
00:04:53.800 And so I hope I can fill in some of the cracks in between the things that you've mentioned.
00:05:00.680 Let's see.
00:05:01.460 So as far as my conversion, there was a real transformation that took place.
00:05:06.820 I was an atheist growing up.
00:05:08.220 I was proud of the fact that I had not succumbed to the mental delusion that there was some invisible
00:05:14.680 being hiding behind a cloud, keeping track of who has been naughty and who's been nice
00:05:19.280 sounded like a grown-up version of the Santa Claus story.
00:05:24.020 And rather than bringing coal for the bad boys and girls, you went to a place of eternal
00:05:30.120 damnation.
00:05:31.060 But you had gifts if you were on the good list.
00:05:34.880 Well, I was on the middle of a television program here, growing pain since I was 14 years
00:05:40.960 old, hosted by Alan Thicke, a proud Canadian.
00:05:45.580 And it wasn't until I was about 17 years old that I was interested in a young girl who invited
00:05:52.000 me to go to church with her.
00:05:54.360 I didn't have any interest in church, but I was interested in the girl.
00:05:59.220 And because I was an actor, I could pretend for the morning and play along in church.
00:06:04.200 And I heard the message of the gospel from a very wonderful speaker, a committed and intelligent
00:06:11.780 pastor of a church.
00:06:12.920 His name is Chuck Swindoll.
00:06:14.420 And it left me with many questions.
00:06:17.180 As I found answers to those questions and read some books, including beginning to read
00:06:22.980 the Bible, I became persuaded that I could be wrong.
00:06:28.080 And I remember praying as I sat in my sports car as a 17-year-old on the top of my career
00:06:37.360 without a care in the world, other than the fact that I knew that one day I would die.
00:06:42.660 And if I found out that what that preacher said was true, and there was a heaven and there's
00:06:46.720 a hell, I knew I wouldn't be going to heaven.
00:06:48.940 And so I prayed for the first time.
00:06:51.520 I didn't have any theology to speak of.
00:06:54.120 I couldn't have explained the resurrection or the virgin birth or how Noah got all those
00:06:59.060 animals on the ark.
00:06:59.920 But I asked God to please show me who he is, forgive me for what I've done that's been wrong
00:07:09.320 and to change me into the person he wants me to be.
00:07:12.760 And I felt humbled.
00:07:15.720 I felt obligated to not be a hypocrite and filled with gratitude as I learned more and more
00:07:22.620 about the gospel from the word of God.
00:07:25.820 And I began to follow Christ as the Lord of my life when I was about 17 years old.
00:07:31.340 And that's 35 years ago now.
00:07:33.840 So here I am, grateful, realizing that I didn't find God in Hollywood because he wasn't lost.
00:07:41.800 I was.
00:07:43.080 And he found me.
00:07:45.500 Yeah, that's beautiful.
00:07:47.200 I love that.
00:07:48.320 And, you know, oftentimes we've said, especially in this day and age right now with what we've
00:07:52.980 all been through in the last three and a half years, people need hope.
00:07:57.040 And but it's through tragedy.
00:07:58.960 It's through difficult times that we finally get on our knees.
00:08:02.180 And I would say that God uses what the enemy meant for harm for his good and his glory.
00:08:07.020 And Action for Canada, we consider ourselves with all of our chapters across the nation
00:08:12.680 that we're becoming a church without walls.
00:08:15.440 And we've become a place, you know, a refuge for many, many people with those kinds of questions.
00:08:22.100 And there is nothing that you did at 17 years old to bring about that conversion.
00:08:27.620 You had a nudge.
00:08:29.080 You were having a nudge from the Holy Spirit that something, you know, was further out there.
00:08:34.460 And you began to question that and come to that decision.
00:08:39.160 And, you know, my hope and prayer is that many people who are going through the stressful
00:08:43.660 times that they are right now and wondering what in the world is going on are beginning
00:08:48.280 to look up and rather than count on their self or live in fear.
00:08:52.440 And so that's why I wanted you to, you know, talk a little bit about this, because I think
00:08:57.820 that we need to be pointing people in a direction to understand they're not alone.
00:09:02.300 There is hope in Christ Jesus.
00:09:05.760 Fear does not abound where hope is.
00:09:09.440 And that I want to move towards that uncompromising spirit that you've had as well in the decisions
00:09:15.420 that you made.
00:09:16.820 And I think it's only during those times that we are permitted that God can use us to the
00:09:22.360 capacity that he's using you and why he's giving you a platform to reach the hearts and
00:09:27.340 minds of so many people with your movies, with your books, and with your testimony.
00:09:31.960 Tony.
00:09:34.640 Well, I feel so honored to be speaking with you, not because you have a celebrity name or
00:09:44.480 some great big platform or millions of followers on social media.
00:09:48.600 You may.
00:09:48.940 But what I am so excited about is what you're doing and your faithfulness to the Lord and
00:09:56.700 the wholeheartedness, the lack of a divided heart and the single-mindedness of being faithful
00:10:03.520 to God and putting feet to your faith in the form of action for Canada.
00:10:09.060 That's what we need here in America.
00:10:10.920 That's what we need our pastors to begin doing.
00:10:13.080 That's what we need mothers and fathers to be doing.
00:10:16.760 And, you know, it's so easy to get frustrated with apathetic, lazy people.
00:10:22.160 But I'm also learning to have compassion for apathetic and lazy people because at times I am
00:10:27.840 one.
00:10:28.100 And I also recognize that we have been fed a steady diet of apathy and laziness and inaction
00:10:36.620 within our churches from our leaders.
00:10:39.120 And many of our leaders were trained in seminaries that have been infiltrated by bad ideas and
00:10:43.680 policies.
00:10:44.160 And so we're really all in this boat together.
00:10:47.720 And so I appreciate those who sound the alarm and I appreciate the comforters and the exhorters
00:10:53.820 and those who are rushing out to the front lines.
00:10:56.680 So this is an important conversation.
00:10:59.000 Thank you for inviting me to be a part of it.
00:11:01.060 I think here in America, I've done a deep dive into the history of our country to discover
00:11:13.820 that what our children are being taught is completely false.
00:11:17.980 It is propaganda with regard to the beginnings of our nation and getting back to the root of
00:11:25.280 who we are, not just here in America, but any free people.
00:11:29.700 We have to understand that freedom defined the way that we define it.
00:11:34.560 Being free from government interference or any other tyrannical pressure to conform to
00:11:41.560 a set of values that are contrary to the freedom that God has given us to govern ourselves under
00:11:46.800 his ways.
00:11:47.620 That freedom has a root that goes so deep back into history, all the way back to the Garden
00:11:57.120 of Eden.
00:11:58.300 And here in America, we were established by biblicists, people who understood and were overwhelmed with
00:12:09.780 gratitude for a Bible that they could hold in their hands in the 1500s, that they could study
00:12:15.220 as a family and recognize that kings and prime ministers and presidents do not have this divine
00:12:23.100 right of kings so-called that allows them to become tyrants in the name of God.
00:12:27.680 They're to be ministers of God for the service and the good of the people.
00:12:31.940 Our country was built on self-governing people, on the foundation of the gospel, people who love
00:12:38.960 and fear God and want to serve their neighbors and then put their government in place as their
00:12:44.280 representatives and they are there to do the will of the people, not to control them and
00:12:50.420 plunder their property, but to protect their property.
00:12:54.560 And we've so gotten away from that and become illiterate and become ignorant of who we are
00:13:00.360 and where we came from that we've forgotten the covenants that our ancestors have made in
00:13:07.160 the presence of God with one another to uphold these principles.
00:13:10.040 And that's what I'm fighting for and trying to get back to in my own way through the American
00:13:16.420 campfire revival, through some of these other things that you've mentioned.
00:13:20.600 And boy, this is the testing of fire that we are experiencing right now.
00:13:27.140 And this is the crucible in which, you know, the boys will be separated from the men and the
00:13:33.520 women from the girls and, um, we need to be more than patriots.
00:13:39.740 We need to be Christians who don't divorce our faith in God from our responsibilities to
00:13:49.620 apply that faith in our civic duties as well.
00:13:54.040 And that's what you do so beautifully.
00:13:56.800 So, uh, I'll stop talking now because I'm sure you have other questions.
00:14:00.880 No, I, I am so in agreement.
00:14:03.460 I mean, this is the first time you and I have spoken.
00:14:05.640 We didn't get a chance, uh, you know, previously to have a conversation.
00:14:09.780 And I know when we were pre-show having a bit of conversation, you were, uh, you know,
00:14:14.020 quite excited to, uh, obviously you read in a little bit to what we're doing here with
00:14:18.600 our notices of liability and asserting our rights as, as God has, um, uh, uh, permitted
00:14:24.960 them to us.
00:14:26.160 And I just finished a two and a half week speaking tour.
00:14:29.540 It was the first one that I'd ever done.
00:14:31.660 And the major part of that speaking tour was talking about the fact that Canada is a Judeo-Christian
00:14:37.540 nation, which was inherited through our British Commonwealth.
00:14:40.100 And it's embedded in our Magna Carta forms, our laws and our values, and is a system of
00:14:45.980 governance that sets us apart from totalitarian extremists and communist regimes, giving us
00:14:51.620 the freedom to believe or not to believe without fear of persecution, oppression, or even death.
00:14:57.020 And this is so beautiful.
00:15:00.320 This needs to be shouted from every rooftop.
00:15:02.180 And, you know, it was many years ago when I, you know, I've been at this for eight years,
00:15:08.060 the, the battle, and it was many years ago when I was hearing all about love and diversity,
00:15:12.960 and they were perverting the English language.
00:15:15.780 They were perverting our biblical values and what this country was founded on.
00:15:19.700 And I was appealing, you know, to God to say, how do we fight this evil?
00:15:23.940 And God said, with truth.
00:15:26.240 And I said, then I need you to help me to be able to communicate in such a way that the
00:15:32.160 enemy cannot debate what comes out of my mouth and that it will fall sweetly on the ears of
00:15:38.840 those who hear it.
00:15:40.680 And, and so, you know, the knee-jerk reaction I say to people is to reject what we have to
00:15:46.400 say about our countries being based on biblical principles, because for decades we've been
00:15:51.860 being groomed and, uh, you know, uh, manipulated into believing we were secular nations into
00:15:59.380 multicultural nations and all the rest of it.
00:16:02.040 And if we take a look at the, uh, other nations around the world and how they're functioning,
00:16:07.380 they have a core belief system and they're living by that belief system, which is anti-God,
00:16:13.420 capital G-O-D, and they're all living under tyranny and oppression.
00:16:17.640 And so my challenge is to people, rather than your knee-jerk reaction,
00:16:21.860 if you succumb to COVID, if you succumb to the mask, if you succumb to thinking that
00:16:26.920 love is love, even when that involves man-boy love, then you need to wake up.
00:16:31.720 You need to take a step back and think maybe that you've been deceived at a deeper level.
00:16:36.780 And now it is time, you know, for a great reset, but not the one that the globalists are talking
00:16:42.080 about.
00:16:42.900 But I think that's the battle on the front lines.
00:16:45.420 This is, uh, you know, an unprecedented battle for good and evil.
00:16:48.540 And if we don't rise up, even as non-Christians and Christians and understand what, uh, godly
00:16:54.120 biblical principles gives us as far as, uh, freedom and democracy, we're lost.
00:16:58.660 And that truly is where the battle is.
00:17:01.900 That's right.
00:17:03.200 Oh, amen.
00:17:04.820 Everybody, um, uh, go back or hit rewind and go back and listen to everything that she just
00:17:09.820 said and memorize it and tell it to your children and tell it to your friends.
00:17:14.080 It, my sister had asked me if there's one question for Kirk, because she loves your movie,
00:17:18.780 uh, monumental.
00:17:20.080 I mean, you've made so many, uh, good ones, but she said, you know, because you showed in,
00:17:25.040 uh, in a, in a tremendous way, the history of America.
00:17:29.540 And even when what I've, what I've just repeated, this is the history of Canada that they're trying
00:17:34.420 to erase, but it would be wonderful to put it into, uh, you know, the format of a movie like
00:17:39.400 you've done.
00:17:39.900 Well, I, I think so too.
00:17:44.060 And, um, that, that would be, that would be phenomenal.
00:17:48.080 I think, I think one of your listeners who, uh, has the financial means to, to get, put
00:17:53.400 some seed money down so that you can do that.
00:17:55.400 And I would be happy to help, uh, you on, you know, finding people on the production side
00:17:59.900 who could help put something like that together.
00:18:01.440 Um, I, I think that's phenomenal.
00:18:03.520 We need to be doing that.
00:18:04.760 Uh, I'd love, if you don't mind, I want to just go back to something in case someone is,
00:18:09.200 uh, coming to this, uh, fresh, like, like I was what you have done, what action for Canada
00:18:15.460 has done with these notices of liability is phenomenal.
00:18:18.700 This is brilliant.
00:18:20.160 I have not, I have not heard of anybody else doing what I see you doing.
00:18:24.660 Um, and it's just, I don't know another word.
00:18:28.960 It's brilliant.
00:18:29.460 You have, you have given a, uh, a tool and you placed it into the hands of parents to
00:18:37.000 personally combat and beat back the tyranny that is coming to their children.
00:18:43.560 Well, first of all, by doing the most important thing, which would be to exit your children
00:18:48.340 from the public education system, because the public education and your company, uh, your
00:18:52.600 country, as it sounds, uh, has happened in ours as well, has been completely hijacked and
00:18:58.240 infiltrated.
00:18:59.400 Um, it's nothing but a distribution pipeline for government propaganda to turn our children
00:19:05.140 into obedient little lemmings who will put masks on their faces, uh, injections into their
00:19:10.480 bodies and, uh, believe that boys can be girls and girls can be boys and do whatever the almighty
00:19:16.840 government says, uh, as the provider and protector and the safekeeper of, of all things from your
00:19:22.560 health to your education, to your family and everything, uh, your money and, and your freedoms.
00:19:27.240 And, um, this notice of liability for parents who are not yet able to take their kids out of
00:19:33.840 school allows them from what I understand to hand to the principal, hand to the teacher, to
00:19:39.560 the administrators, a notice that puts them on notice that if they participate in exposing
00:19:49.600 children to pornographic materials, to, to obscenity and lewdness, that there are laws on the books
00:19:56.580 that will hold them personally reliable, uh, liable, not just the school. They can't, they don't have
00:20:02.780 the excuse of, well, I'm just being, I'm just doing what I'm told and I'm being paid as a teacher to
00:20:06.520 show this stuff to the kids. No, you personally are on the hook, liable, liable for, uh, exposing
00:20:13.440 children to pornography. And there are criminal, uh, and civil penalties for that. That now gets them
00:20:20.640 where it, it means something to them. There's a personal pressure point that is now going to get
00:20:26.560 them on the side of what is good and, and lawful. And I've not heard of anybody else doing this.
00:20:33.160 That's absolutely fantastic. Yeah. So thank you for that, Kirk. We started this, uh, back in March
00:20:39.720 of 2021 to get the masks off children and it was very successful. I hate to say it this way, but for
00:20:45.960 the parents that were brave enough to use it, I mean, their children were being abused on mass
00:20:50.800 everywhere. They were not the spreaders of this virus. In fact, their strong immune systems should
00:20:56.880 have been good for grandma and grandpa. And, you know, it was about matter of a barometer to measure who
00:21:02.640 was complying, even for all of society, they're useless. Then we, uh, started notices of liability
00:21:09.760 for employees to give to employers, uh, against the unions. This is the one for the, uh, SOGI 123,
00:21:17.760 which we launched, launched in June of 2022. And we had a great success rate with the notices of
00:21:25.300 liability against the VAX. And, uh, prior to me creating the notice of liability for the sexual
00:21:31.860 orientation and gender identity, because it's holding that school board trustee, say her name is
00:21:37.520 Susie Smith. We're holding Susie Smith personally liable. And it is not her under the protection of a
00:21:45.040 school board trustee. They don't have that protection. It's the same as if a trustee were to come in and
00:21:51.280 physically abuse somebody, sexually abuse somebody. And so the notice of liability, it's not a legal
00:21:57.120 document in and of itself until we use it as evidence. So it's basically, we're serving you saying
00:22:04.060 under all of these grounds that we have set out, we're letting you know that what you're doing is
00:22:09.020 either illegal or causing harm. And in this situation, it's both because we know that children
00:22:15.140 are being harmed by this. It's leading to them being confused, uh, puberty blockers, antidepressants,
00:22:22.300 and some having their bodies mutilated. And it's illegal because you are deceiving children,
00:22:27.580 you, you know, under your care, under your trusted position of authority, and you are, uh, sexualizing
00:22:35.160 them. And we don't have a lot of good judges in Canada, but what has happened as a result of this,
00:22:42.880 this is breaking down. And across Canada now, thank God in the United States, you have 26 states
00:22:49.940 that are passing legislation to protect children. And we were in a real mess in Canada until about
00:22:56.200 two months ago when our New Brunswick government said, Hey, you know what their parents have rights
00:23:01.500 to know what's going on with their children. And then Manitoba and Saskatchewan and Toronto and Ontario
00:23:07.040 have all got on board in Saskatchewan. We recently had a huge win because they were going to bring in
00:23:14.160 the SOGI 123 secretly under the radar in September. And we started lobbying government
00:23:20.420 in an April. When we found out about this, we started advising them that there is measurable harm
00:23:25.680 in other provinces to show that this program is causing harm to children. And as a result, we were able
00:23:32.700 to advise the, uh, government of Saskatchewan, the Minister of Education, that there was measurable harm
00:23:40.860 in other provinces that have already implemented this learning resource and that they could be held
00:23:45.800 personally liable and accountable. And so as a result, uh, last week, the Minister of Education,
00:23:52.700 Dustin Duncan, ended up putting a pause on the SOGI and, uh, disallowing any other NGOs from coming in
00:24:00.860 teaching sexual health, et cetera, such as Planned Parenthood. And so this has been a really huge win.
00:24:06.560 We haven't had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for lawyers. Uh, we didn't have to go
00:24:11.480 before corrupt judges to get this decision. And, uh, we are a hundred percent committed to keep going
00:24:18.340 at this until this is eradicated from our school system. And, uh, so anyways, and as I see down in
00:24:25.140 the States, you guys are having some very good success in there. And, uh, that has been, um, inspirational
00:24:31.540 and motivational for us in Canada. Hmm. I have a pastor friend, Gary Hamrick in Virginia, who just
00:24:40.460 started a brand new school and they had the greatest enrollment rate in the state of Virginia at this
00:24:48.820 school. I think in the history of first days, uh, of enrollment and because parents were not just
00:24:54.680 walking their children to this school, but running their children to this school because it was a school
00:25:00.760 that's going to partner together with parents as the primary teachers and assist them in teaching
00:25:06.940 their children a biblical worldview. Um, education is, is enormous. Uh, we, we understand that. Um,
00:25:13.680 we have a founding father here in the U S, uh, Noah Webster, who gave us Webster's dictionary. He was a
00:25:18.020 founding father and also, uh, known as the father of American education. And he said that every civil
00:25:24.260 government is founded on some religion or, uh, philosophy of life and the education of that
00:25:31.600 nation will propagate the religion of that nation here in America, that religion is Christianity.
00:25:36.460 And he said that it was sewn into the hearts of people for two centuries through the home and
00:25:43.420 through private and public schooling and through the church and our success and our liberty is the
00:25:51.900 result of that biblical way of life. And the continuation of our prosperity and our freedoms depends on
00:26:01.340 the continuation of teaching our children, the principles of Christianity. So, um, this is, as you said,
00:26:10.180 it's baked into the Magna Carta. This is baked into our documents of Liberty, uh, that are connected
00:26:16.280 all the way back to the scriptures themselves. Uh, they're baked into our founding documents.
00:26:22.080 And I think it is just, it is brilliant that you have gotten ahold of these things and you've
00:26:28.520 repurposed what the enemy has meant for evil and used it for good. I even heard you just mentioned a
00:26:33.980 phrase of safe spaces. Hey, what a great idea. You're right. You're right, folks. We need safe spaces
00:26:39.880 for our children so that they are not being abused with this. So G one, two, three stuff. Uh, we need
00:26:49.080 to let, you know, because we're Christians that we care about you. If I were in your position,
00:26:53.860 I wouldn't want to be blindsided by a lawsuit holding me personally, uh, liable for damaging and
00:27:00.700 harming children physically and emotionally. And, um, mentally I would want to know. And so I'm giving
00:27:07.500 you this notice of liability because I care about you and about our children. Exactly. Yeah. And when
00:27:14.480 I say measurable harm, I have moms who are in touch with me and some of the most sad stories. One is a
00:27:20.520 young woman that at 14 years old, trans people were invited into the school without parental knowledge,
00:27:27.020 which is what they're doing everywhere, giving their testimony of how they transformed from a girl
00:27:33.880 into a boy and how their life is so much more fulfilling, which is a complete and utter lie. And now these
00:27:39.820 kids are hearing, if you happen to feel this way, if you, you're gender dysphoric, if you're not
00:27:44.700 comfortable, you know, in your body and what a reckless thing to say to young women and young men who are
00:27:51.260 developing. And as a result with this one lady, her 14 year old daughter, not only began down the path of
00:27:58.040 being lesbian, then bi, etc. It seems to morph and evolve for them. And it's very confusing state. She also got into
00:28:05.840 the group who were doing drugs. And ultimately, at the age of 20, she had a fentanyl overdose, but not before she
00:28:13.580 had realized that she'd been deceived. And she'd, she'd, unfortunately, she's passed away. Her mother is
00:28:19.260 devastated. But this is directly related to what the school has taught them. And then Sarah is another gal that I've had on my
00:28:27.240 school on my show. Exact same story at the age of 14. Trans activists came into the school, gave their stories.
00:28:35.280 They're now going in teaching this to grade 11 year old olds as well. And Sarah at the age of 20 realized something was
00:28:42.220 wrong. And she got off the antidepressants. Because if your kids are on antidepressants, that's because they're trying to
00:28:47.920 numb them and dumb them down from being able to think and process through this. Then they get them on the puberty blockers and
00:28:54.420 fast track many of them to the surgeries, which is what happened to Sarah. And at the age of 21, she ended up at church
00:29:02.500 with her mom and dad. And the pastor was teaching on biblical sexuality. And she realized that she'd been
00:29:08.400 deceived. And she is detransitioning. And she has turned her life back to the Lord, but not without first having
00:29:15.280 her breasts removed and facial hair and now having to undo the damage that began in the school systems.
00:29:23.360 And so action is coming. And so the trustees better figure out what side of this war they want to be on,
00:29:31.160 because they're going to be held accountable at one point. And who knows which one of them it's going
00:29:37.560 to be. But we're coming for them. That's for sure. Wonderful. This is this is actually this is so
00:29:45.300 encouraging. You know, so many of us watch the news, we turn on the television, in hopes that we
00:29:52.440 might hear something of that gives us hope, we want to be aware of what's happening, so that we're ready
00:29:59.120 for, for for some disaster. And we usually end up turning off the television with a sense of feeling
00:30:07.660 numb, and feeling a low grade fear that just interrupts our sleep, and inches us closer and
00:30:17.620 closer to the cliff of despair. And what we want to hear is the kind of things that you're saying right
00:30:23.200 now. We want to see action that has measurable improvements. And the other thing that I'm learning
00:30:30.580 just by this conversation is that, you know, we can actually learn from the enemy, because their
00:30:37.160 techniques work. And what's interesting, for example, a trans activist can come into a school
00:30:43.560 and as a result of their testimony, can change the worldview of a young person. Doesn't that sound
00:30:50.980 familiar? Isn't that what we hope happens when a Christian goes into a school or a youth group and
00:31:00.160 shares their testimony? It could change a godless atheist and to to adopt a biblical worldview and
00:31:08.340 transform their life. So you see, I see the enemy is really just picking up our biblical playbook
00:31:15.480 of sharing our personal testimony in order to transform people, only they're taking them from
00:31:23.000 light to darkness. Why don't we bring out the scriptures again and apply all the principles of
00:31:30.580 God, all the tactics and strategies of love, joy, peace, kindness, gentleness, speaking the truth in
00:31:37.000 love, being compassionate, caring one another's burdens, rescuing those from the fire while there's
00:31:43.620 still time. If we would do that, I believe that we would have the blessing of God behind that,
00:31:53.080 you know, rather than the favor of the devil that may seem to win some here and there and more and
00:31:59.620 more, we would have the favor of God and the power that raised Christ from the dead behind a movement
00:32:06.800 leading people back to truth and goodness and beauty. There's great reasons for hope.
00:32:14.020 Well, and I, you know, you may not realize this, but you have been an inspiration of hope for
00:32:19.420 everyone as well. Like even, especially with Action for Canada, when you wrote your book,
00:32:24.860 As You Grow, and started going into those libraries, we were going, wahoo! And, you know,
00:32:30.220 celebrating this because of the onslaught of drag queens that were rising up, you know, within our
00:32:36.900 public libraries, being invited into schools. And here you were with this amazing book to speak
00:32:42.980 life into children, to nurture their goodness. And, and that was an easy journey for you at times as
00:32:50.680 well. Let's talk a little bit about that. There's the book. We're hoping that people can get their
00:32:55.220 hands on that. Now, can you clarify something for me, Kirk? My understanding is, is that your book
00:33:01.280 cannot yet be shipped into Canada. Is that correct? I understand that through Amazon, you can get
00:33:08.920 shipments into Canada. So you can go to the website at bravebooks.com. That's bravebooks.com to learn all
00:33:18.260 about that and many other books, which are all, they share the same characters that live in, in the
00:33:24.440 universe, uh, that we call Freedom Island. And, uh, interestingly, Freedom Island is shaped, uh, in
00:33:30.400 the form of the original 13 colonies of the United States of America. And, uh, the idea is for all of
00:33:36.600 these characters, uh, to be, be teaching the next generation of freedom fighters, the heroes to protect
00:33:44.060 the freedom on Freedom Island. And that's what we need to be doing in Canada as well. So, uh, my book is
00:33:49.660 called, as you grow, it teaches children, uh, how to grow the sweet fruit of the spirit, uh, through the
00:33:55.160 seasons of life, love, joy, peace, kindness, gentleness, self-control, faithfulness. And then I
00:34:00.160 wrote a second book, uh, that is called pride comes before the fall. And that's a book, uh, that teaches
00:34:08.020 children the valuable lesson of humility. And, uh, with our pride months, so-called this last June,
00:34:15.680 we released this book on June 1st and we, uh, debuted it in Seattle, Washington, where, uh,
00:34:23.020 there, there was quite a bit of protesting going on, uh, because they assumed this was a book that
00:34:28.040 was anti LGBT. Actually, it's not. Um, it's, uh, based on Proverbs 16, 18, I believe it is that
00:34:34.880 pride comes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. And that it's better to be humble
00:34:41.080 than to share plunder with the proud. So, uh, this caused a bit of controversy, but it's, uh,
00:34:48.080 the good kind of controversy because it's bringing parents to that place that you've been bringing
00:34:52.680 them, uh, to be awake, to be alarmed, and then to be activated. And that's what we've got to do.
00:35:00.580 There's too many of us who have just been lulled to sleep with, um, promises from the government
00:35:06.420 with, uh, a lazy, um, luxurious lifestyle, uh, or whatever the excuse is, but we've been entrusted
00:35:14.220 with the sacred, uh, treasure of the hearts and minds and souls of our children. And we have got
00:35:20.360 to take care of them. This, this is our sacred duty. We do. We have to invest in them. Uh, what is
00:35:26.960 it good? Marxist tyrants have always known that the, uh, future of a country relies on the hearts and
00:35:32.780 minds of the children of the children. And, uh, they've worked, uh, Hitler had the Hitler youth,
00:35:38.160 uh, today is the radical trans, uh, youth, the Marxist youth. Uh, they're using our schools as
00:35:44.420 petri dishes of indoctrination, uh, marching out Marxist soldiers. And if we don't like the looks of
00:35:50.660 this, then we need to do something about them. I really want to encourage our viewers that you would
00:35:55.880 go on to brave books and then go to your local libraries and either buy the books and bring them
00:36:03.220 in and encourage them to carry books that positively influence the hearts and minds of
00:36:08.680 children. And, and so that was exciting when I was looking the other day and I saw the new book about
00:36:13.480 pride comes before a fall. And isn't it just so, uh, through television, media, music, uh, we're in a
00:36:19.820 fast food credit card generation where, uh, you know, our young people don't understand the art of
00:36:28.080 working for something and having the right kind of pride in working and earning. They can easily go
00:36:35.220 into debt. And I think all the way around what you are doing Kirk and investing into our children is
00:36:43.520 essential if we're going to have, uh, positive, great leaders for the future. And, and I think
00:36:50.440 that's something that we really need to focus on. Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, uh, I'm one of
00:36:58.000 those who feel like I'm late to the game. I'm 53 years old and I'm late to the, the realization
00:37:04.280 that all these things that my grandparents told me, the things that I was, uh, made to, to read and
00:37:12.260 learn about in school when, when I was in school are so much more important than I realized as a young
00:37:18.080 man. And it wasn't until I had children. And I realized now that these things really matter.
00:37:24.820 And I just thank God that, that you and I and others who are listening here have an opportunity
00:37:33.040 to repent, to turn back to God and say, Oh God, we've been so foolish. All of this tyranny
00:37:40.220 at least I can say this, all of this tyranny that I see in my generation has happened on
00:37:49.860 our watch. We, we have roots and a foundation and a legacy that was purchased with blood and sacrifice
00:38:00.720 that has given us unprecedented freedom in the world. But that freedom has been used for license,
00:38:09.800 to sin and abuse people. And we have allowed the, the, um, the, the governmental and the family
00:38:20.040 and the church structure to be infested with termites. And we've not done the hard work of
00:38:26.020 evangelism and, uh, honest to goodness discipleship to keep the integrity and the foundation strong
00:38:35.060 in the family, the church and in civil government. And I, for one, want to be a part of, uh, of that
00:38:41.460 committed group of people who can do my, I can do my part, whatever that is, uh, that, that God allows
00:38:49.200 to head us back in the right direction.
00:38:52.380 Well, I think what you're saying as well as is dead right on. I mean, there's that saying that goes
00:38:57.340 something like freedom is not free. It's not just naturally handed down to the next generation.
00:39:01.560 We have to fight for it. And, uh, we've been a generation, my mom and dad both came through the
00:39:06.380 war. My dad was from England. My mom was from the Netherlands. Their houses were bombed. They,
00:39:11.300 they went through poverty and they were some of those white Europeans that came to Canada
00:39:17.260 with nothing. And my dad had a grade six education and really had to work very hard. And so did my mom
00:39:25.560 to, uh, uh, uh, provide for us and to provide a home, but they bestowed upon us values and character
00:39:34.100 and, uh, you know, that the discipline that was healthy and needed. And, uh, I think that when
00:39:41.560 we're looking at what's being taught, uh, the reason I point out white Europeans is because of course,
00:39:46.840 the government is trying to come down with critical race theory and all of these other things,
00:39:52.380 but it's the, the bottom line is to destroy our founding fathers. It's to undermine the work that
00:39:58.520 they've done. And at the bottom of that is to under undermine Christianity. And I've always said,
00:40:04.720 my God doesn't know the color of your skin. He cares about the condition of your heart and mind.
00:40:09.940 So this has nothing to do with white privilege. This has nothing to do with any of that because my mom
00:40:17.400 and dad are, are individuals, like I say, who are evidence that there was no white privilege there.
00:40:23.960 And if we're, you know, handing money over to our youth and giving them things for nothing,
00:40:30.420 which is what they did on mass through, uh, these government lockdowns, it was to buy votes.
00:40:36.000 Uh, mass immigration is to buy votes to keep these tyrants in office forever and ever.
00:40:41.240 And, and so there's so many different ways that we're needing to, uh, protect the walls of our
00:40:46.980 countries. And, and God says that we have a right to protect our territory and we have a duty to do
00:40:52.560 that. We have a duty not to allow false gods, gods to come in and take over our nation. We have a duty
00:40:58.880 to speak out against abortion and, uh, putting our children on the altar of Baal and Malik and having
00:41:05.620 them, uh, destroyed in society. And we have a duty and a responsibility at this point to get on
00:41:11.220 our knees and to repent and ask God to forgive us for our complacency and, uh, to rise up and do
00:41:19.120 something about that. And it comes with the promise in second Chronicles that he will heal our land.
00:41:24.040 And, uh, I can hear that you're doing that in the United States. We're doing that in Canada.
00:41:29.100 And because of that, you know what, that faith of a mustard seed is moving mountains and God hears us.
00:41:34.860 That's right. That's right. And Tanya, um, I, I was reminded by my mentor, uh, Dr. Marshall,
00:41:41.220 Foster, who recently went on to be with the Lord. There's a, there's a hole in my heart,
00:41:44.720 the size of a meteor crater. Uh, I, I, I miss him so much, but he said, Kirk,
00:41:50.300 he said, remember, he said throughout history, revivals have always come during times of moral
00:42:03.380 decline, spiritual apathy, and economic collapse. This is when people wake up and they turn back
00:42:11.160 to God and we're about due for another one right now. They, they, they, they, they tend to come in,
00:42:18.240 in waves, maybe 50 years apart and we are there. And so I'm hoping and praying that, uh, people will
00:42:28.880 thank God for COVID, that they will thank God for the masks, thank God for, uh, the trans movement,
00:42:36.460 not because they are intrinsically good. No, these things were evil, but God is the blessed controller
00:42:43.580 of all things. And what others mean for evil can be used for a good to, if, if it will wake us up
00:42:51.760 and, and, and rend our hearts and turn us back to the father, um, and use this as, as our wake up call
00:43:01.260 to perhaps see the church's finest, finest hour in Canada and in the United States and around the
00:43:11.300 world. And what you're doing, Tanya is, uh, it's spectacular. Yeah. Well, it's awesome. You know,
00:43:18.560 we have an amazing team at our national office. And, uh, when we look at what we're doing with
00:43:25.600 Action for Canada nationwide with all of our chapters, we have vetted our chapter leaders
00:43:31.040 and that's, that's a look, we are growing. We're committed to be in every single town and community,
00:43:36.760 wherever there's a mayor and city council, a township, wherever there are school board trustees,
00:43:41.560 we are focused on getting in there, reaching out to churches and raising up elected officials to,
00:43:47.740 uh, take back every level of government. And in the last election last year, we got a number of
00:43:54.700 our chapter leaders elected into these positions and we are doing this on a shoestring budget.
00:44:00.540 This is grassroots. And the reason it's successful is because all of our people understand that we are
00:44:07.240 at war and it is the kind of war where we don't see the bombs dropping around us, but there are mass
00:44:13.460 casualties in Canada, the United States and around the world. And until people realize, yes, you know
00:44:21.020 what, you've just come through summer, but until people realize that this battle is not over, they're
00:44:26.700 already talking about masks. They're already talking about a ridiculous other variant of COVID and they
00:44:32.720 understand what their God-given rights are and they're willing to assert those rights and that
00:44:38.020 they have a right to do that. Uh, we will continue, you know, to, to fall into tyranny. But I believe
00:44:45.200 that we are at the cusp. We are at a crossroads right now of having the ability to turn this around.
00:44:52.780 And for any of you who are watching and listening to Kirk and I, yes, we are devoted Christians.
00:44:58.400 You know why? Because we know the way, the truth and the life. And the only way is through
00:45:02.380 Christ Jesus. The only way out of this battle is through God. And if you look back on history,
00:45:08.640 it is when nations turn their back on God, that God does turn his back on his people for a period
00:45:14.540 of time. He does allow bad leaders. And you may be saying, well, I was a good person. You know what?
00:45:20.360 I, I didn't bring this on. It's bad governments, but you didn't care about who you were electing into
00:45:25.600 office. And this has been a personal attack against citizens in Western, um, countries around the world
00:45:32.940 because they were relying on our virtues as a nation and use them against us of love, of, of being
00:45:41.540 compassionate, of being caring and giving. And so they manipulated and they used in a psychological
00:45:48.380 military style warfare to attack us. So also give yourself a break. You know, there's grace in the
00:45:55.660 middle of this, but get on board and join us in this battle. We need all hands on deck.
00:46:02.180 That's right. You're talking about the psyops that are used to control people, not physically,
00:46:08.480 but next generation warfare is, uh, to move people and control them by capturing the control center,
00:46:18.800 which is their mind, and then get them to do what you want them to do voluntarily.
00:46:23.820 And you're right. Christians have, uh, we, we've, we succumb to this idea that if we're all about love
00:46:30.900 and they'll even quote Bible verses, you know, um, uh, love your neighbor as yourself. And if you were a
00:46:36.700 real Christian and you really cared about people, you wouldn't be spreading that virus around the
00:46:40.580 way that you are without a mask. And, uh, and, and, and it's, it's, it's sneaky and crafty on their
00:46:48.300 part, but it just speaks to our, our gullibility. It speaks to some of the biblical illiteracy that we
00:46:55.540 don't, if, if we're not understanding that these are being ripped out of context and manipulated to
00:46:59.580 be used against us, but thank God for action for Canada. Thank God for all of those people out there
00:47:05.360 and people here who are recognizing it, who are praying, who are turning their hearts back to God
00:47:10.820 on a personal level. And they are rising up and standing against this and providing positive
00:47:15.240 alternatives, uh, like you're doing. Well, and, and again, I'm going to turn that back to you as
00:47:21.280 well, Kirk, because, uh, when I was doing my research, which I love doing when we have guests on,
00:47:26.580 I had no idea that it wasn't just a matter that you've written two books as you grow and pride comes
00:47:32.440 before a fall, but you have written many books, I believe with Ray Comfort. And is that correct? I
00:47:40.020 saw a full list and of books giving instruction. And, uh, maybe you could tell us a bit about that.
00:47:48.980 Yeah. So Ray Comfort and I are pals from way back. Uh, he's a Kiwi from New Zealand. Uh, he likes to say
00:47:55.660 that, uh, Australia is a tiny little Island off the coast of New Zealand. And, and, uh, we became
00:48:02.400 friends when I saw him open air preaching in New York city in a video. And I was just, uh, amazed at
00:48:08.920 his, um, ability to remind me of the apostle Paul speaking to the pagans of his day. And we got to be
00:48:18.020 friends. I wanted to learn his evangelism methods and we wrote a few books together and we did a
00:48:22.980 television program called the way of the master. So we've got a couple of books. Uh, one of my
00:48:28.240 favorites is called, um, uh, the school of biblical evangelism. And it's a big thick book with 101
00:48:36.380 lessons on biblical evangelism, essentially, uh, sharing the gospel the way that Jesus did,
00:48:43.360 which is not just, um, giving a person a hug and saying, God loves you and has a wonderful plan for
00:48:48.460 your life. But, uh, using the moral law of God, like a doctor uses a cat scan or an MRI to show the
00:48:58.100 patient that there is serious disease going on and they can see it with their own eyes. Uh, they
00:49:03.740 perceive the problem and then they, they, uh, appreciate the fact that the doctor has a cure
00:49:09.880 and they're willing to appropriate it, uh, because they know that it can save their life. This is, uh,
00:49:16.340 the concept of law before grace or biblical evangelism or the way of the master, the way that
00:49:22.600 we like to say it. That's beautiful. And I also want to cover a couple of your movies before we let
00:49:29.600 you go because, uh, they have had such an impact and one of them was fireproof. Uh, you played the
00:49:36.000 role of a fireman. You were married in a relationship that was struggling and there was a process for
00:49:42.820 couples who are going through these kinds of hardships on, on the brink of separation and
00:49:48.320 divorce on, on how to recover. And, and so I think this is a really good opportunity as we're talking
00:49:54.660 about our children, what the best possible gift you can give your child is a healthy, strong marriage.
00:50:02.580 And so I would encourage our viewers to watch this movie fireproof to share it with others who,
00:50:08.720 you know, are possibly, uh, in, in a broken relationship and how they can move and recover.
00:50:15.020 So, uh, yeah, thank you. That movie was absolutely amazing.
00:50:19.940 Oh, thank you for mentioning that. What an honor to be a part of that. Uh, the Kendrick brothers have
00:50:25.720 made so many good movies like that from the subject of marriage with fireproof to parenting with
00:50:31.580 courageous and, and, uh, reminding us that war, uh, prayer is a powerful weapon in their movie called
00:50:38.120 war room. Um, I had a chance to make another movie with them recently after 10 years, uh, of, uh, of,
00:50:46.660 of doing our own thing. We made a movie called life Mark and life Mark came out this last summer in
00:50:51.320 movie theaters based on a true story about an 18 year old girl who changed her mind on the abortion
00:50:57.380 table and decided to give life to her child. Um, 19 years later, she was contacted by this young man
00:51:07.140 who says that he wants to meet up with her and she thinks he probably hates her for abandoning him
00:51:11.800 as an infant. And instead the opposite is true. He wanted to thank her for the choice that she made
00:51:17.360 to give him life because he loves his life. He loves his family and she is his hero. And, uh,
00:51:24.920 I got to play the adoptive father in that movie, which I know a little something about because
00:51:29.240 my wife and I have six children, four of whom are adopted.
00:51:34.840 Yeah, I was reading that as well. And I was so excited because I recently saw life Mark and, uh,
00:51:40.920 it moved me to tears and it was, it's a movie that I just wish, uh, everybody would see. And that's
00:51:47.660 why I wanted to promote it today on the show. I really encourage people to watch, uh, fireproof
00:51:53.100 life Mark. I want people to see your homeschool awakening and as well, the left behind video
00:52:00.300 series. Uh, because I think, you know, many people feel like, Oh man, it feels like we're in the end
00:52:06.820 times. And you have, uh, some people have just this, again, this window of opportunity. You may be,
00:52:13.120 uh, having this conversation with yourself, like, is there a heaven and is there a hell? I see a whole
00:52:18.020 lot of evil going on in the world. And if you're willing to, uh, you know, admit there's evil,
00:52:23.380 there's gotta be good. And only God is good. And I think that, uh, left behind is a movie that
00:52:30.340 compels people to take a deeper look at that, uh, you know, in order to make a decision.
00:52:37.420 Yes. I, I, I've, I've, I've heard that, that that movie has had that effect. I think it had that
00:52:42.320 effect on my, my sister, Candace. Um, and you know, I, I think regardless of your, your eschatological
00:52:50.900 views and the timing of the second coming, uh, I won't go into it too, too much, but, uh, theologically
00:52:57.400 I, I, uh, I, I, I think I left left behind behind and I've, uh, my views have evolved with regard to
00:53:06.260 end times and all of that. However, um, the reality is that, um, we've been given the blessing
00:53:16.580 of living here on this earth for a certain number of days that only the Lord knows. And in the time
00:53:22.260 that we have, let's make the most of it. Let's honor God with all of our hearts, with an undivided
00:53:28.240 heart. Let's love our neighbors. Let's raise our children. Let's grow the city, advance the kingdom,
00:53:34.700 slay the giants, impact the culture. Let's go. Uh, time, time is a wasting. And, um, this is a
00:53:43.520 great blessing we have to be alive, uh, for, for God to have passed over our, our, our sins because of
00:53:50.040 the, the blood of Christ and the opportunity to make inroads for the kingdom of God.
00:53:56.520 So the homeschool awakening is a documentary that I made just this last year, and it documents
00:54:02.940 how during COVID, the number of families in the United States that homeschooled their kids
00:54:09.500 doubled. And many of those families decided not to send their children back to public school.
00:54:17.260 Once the lockdowns were, were, were, uh, put away and the schools opened back up because they realized
00:54:24.740 and were horrified at how the schools had broken the parents' trust and were teaching their children
00:54:30.760 abhorrent, lewd, and obscene, and un-American ideas. So this documentary answers many of the
00:54:39.460 common questions about homeschooling. How do you do it? How do you get started? Will kids get a good
00:54:43.340 education? What do colleges think of homeschool students? What sort of jobs can they get? Uh,
00:54:48.180 how in the world do I bring an entire school system into my home? Do I have to be a math teacher
00:54:52.280 and a music teacher and a science teacher? Uh, we follow 17 families who go into the journey of
00:54:59.200 homeschooling and we watch how they do it. And they're all different. Some of them are interracial
00:55:03.660 families. Some of them are, um, um, business owners. Some of them are inner city families,
00:55:09.480 rural families, and we watch and see how they process everything, how their kids are learning through
00:55:15.900 different styles of education and how they're turning out. So if you have questions about homeschooling,
00:55:20.920 wondering if this is even a biblical idea, uh, if you have what it takes to do it,
00:55:26.740 I would strongly recommend you watch this documentary. It's an hour long,
00:55:30.880 the homeschool awakening, uh, millions of parents are discovering the blessing
00:55:35.140 of taking back their children's education. Okay, great. I had included the trailer when I released
00:55:43.180 the action the other day, so it will be in the description as well. We'll provide, uh, many of the
00:55:48.280 links that Kirk and I have spoken about today. And I'm just really, I'm going to have Alex Newman on
00:55:54.020 next week. And they put together public school exits. I've had him on a few times. I met him many
00:56:00.420 years ago. He came to Canada and we spoke at the same conference and we've, uh, grown this, uh,
00:56:05.500 friendship and, uh, they were part of public school exit. And my understanding is that at least
00:56:10.300 two million children have been removed from the public school system to alternative homeschool or
00:56:16.820 like you say, churches that are opening up schools, et cetera. And in Canada, uh, with Action for Canada,
00:56:22.620 we have homeschool revolution where we are just encouraging parents. If you need help,
00:56:28.040 please go to Action for Canada's page homeschool revolution. We've got a homeschool association
00:56:33.420 directory there, and we have vetted amazing homeschool associations in every single province across the
00:56:39.680 country to make this as easy as possible. And Doris is our homeschooling lead. You can email her at
00:56:45.380 homeschooling at action for Canada.ca. We provide you parent webinars, et cetera, to help get you going.
00:56:51.780 It's much easier than you think. You can teach your kids more in two hours than they'll learn
00:56:56.580 in five hours at school without the risk of being, being indoctrinated. So we highly encourage you
00:57:02.700 to do what is never, uh, whatever is necessary to make that happen. And we encourage grandparents
00:57:08.320 and the family to get involved in raising our children and make this happen. And, uh, so Kirk,
00:57:14.520 thank you so much for joining us on the show. Is there anything that you'd like to add in closing?
00:57:20.600 Thank you. You are exemplary in these principles that you're teaching and the way in which you're
00:57:25.560 communicating them. And I want to just encourage everybody who's watching right now. Um, if, if,
00:57:32.180 if you are feeling, uh, that Holy spirit fire within you and it, and, and, and it's almost as
00:57:38.800 though God is, is speaking to you saying, get involved in what's going on here. You know, you
00:57:43.860 don't want to, uh, to have regrets later. You want your life to count for something every hour that you
00:57:50.220 have, get involved with action for Canada. Um, just looking at that map of, of all the different
00:57:55.680 chapters across the different provinces, uh, get involved in one. If there's not one near you
00:58:00.000 start one. Um, I want to start action for Canada here in the United States. I'm thinking to myself,
00:58:05.880 wait a minute. I don't know if that's allowed, but I want to stay friends with you. I want to
00:58:10.780 continue to learn from you and what you're doing. And, uh, I want to partner with you in things.
00:58:16.640 So I would love that. And everyone listening, please, please, uh, this, this is the wake up call.
00:58:24.420 Answer the clue phone, join in with both feet, get on this and, uh, and participate.
00:58:30.560 Right. Thank you so much, Kirk. And I want to encourage everybody again, all of Kirk's links
00:58:34.780 will be in the description below when we, uh, launch this on rumble. I'm going to give a special
00:58:41.420 shout out right now to my friend, Danielle Pistilli. You and I had some challenges getting you on the show
00:58:46.440 today, and I'm so glad that it worked out. And my friend Danielle was, uh, critical and helping to
00:58:52.260 reach out to Aaron and get this to happen. And, and I can see for greater reasons, you know, why it is
00:58:57.920 Kirk that you and I have met. And I look forward to working together with you and having some
00:59:02.520 conversations of, uh, how we can to get this, uh, get action for Canada moded, whether it's
00:59:08.420 action, you know, for America, however, we're going to work it out. But I think we've got a good plan
00:59:13.600 and I think it can be implemented in the United States as well.
00:59:16.540 Well, I want to make sure you have all the support that you need for this, because this
00:59:20.340 is just, uh, exemplary, exemplary and phenomenal. So those of you out there, um, whatever your
00:59:28.040 opportunities, influences, and resources are, help Tanya and Action for Canada.
00:59:32.380 Kirk, would you actually close us in prayer today?
00:59:35.260 I would love to. That would be an honor.
00:59:37.160 Our father in heaven, it is such a privilege to be able to, uh, to be alive, to not be a pile of
00:59:48.820 cinders, uh, because of our sin, but to be, um, the recipients of your grace and your mercy,
00:59:56.920 your kindness, your love, and your patience. Lord, uh, I'm so thankful that you are the God of the
01:00:03.400 same, the same sky and the same heaven, uh, that Tanya looks up to and that I look up to.
01:00:08.860 And then everyone across the whole globe looks up to. Lord, we're all breathing the same air.
01:00:14.260 Uh, we're drinking the same water. Uh, we're, we're, we're really living on the same land. It's all
01:00:18.860 what you've made. This is your world. And father, I just ask that, uh, you would remember that prayer
01:00:26.160 that your son gave, uh, when he said, may your kingdom come father and may your will be done
01:00:34.720 on earth just as it is in heaven. So father, please export your life-giving transformational
01:00:46.260 principles from the heavenly places to us here on earth. Thank you for your word. Thank you,
01:00:52.140 Holy spirit for illuminating your word and animating us as ambassadors from heaven. Lord,
01:00:59.460 reconcile this world to yourself fully and completely in the family, in the church and
01:01:04.420 in civil government, please protect moms and dads and grandparents help families Lord to get it right.
01:01:11.860 We love you. We thank you for the ministries you've given us. Help us Lord to serve you
01:01:17.840 with our whole hearts. And we ask this in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you.
01:01:27.420 God bless you, sister. God bless you. Thank you, Kirk.
01:01:30.560 Wow. What an amazing time with Kirk Cameron. He is just such a man of integrity. He, like I said at
01:01:49.380 the beginning is, uh, touching the lives and hearts and minds of millions of people. And he's just been
01:01:55.900 given such a blessing and an opportunity. And, uh, I, uh, I honor that. I love his uncompromising spirit.
01:02:02.620 That's what action for Canada is about. And, uh, we just want to continue moving forward. And, uh, of course
01:02:09.700 tonight and what we'll be talking about next week and, uh, September is going to be about our kids. And so
01:02:17.380 next week, Alex Newman will be joining us and he'll be talking about the public school exit. He'll be
01:02:22.760 talking about homeschooling. I believe he has five children and they're homeschooling them all as
01:02:27.700 well. And he's amazing. He's been on the show a few times. And so, uh, Trendu as well. Can we, uh,
01:02:34.020 go to the Bible verse, please? All right. Proverbs 22, six, it says, train up a child in the way he should
01:02:43.520 go. And when he is old, he will not depart from it. And this is something that is so important in this
01:02:50.140 day and age, as we're facing such darkness, as we're facing all of this corruption and deviancy
01:02:55.240 in the school, you can see why it's so important to raise a child in the way they should go. That
01:02:59.280 means to impact their minds and their thoughts, to put good thoughts in there and to educate them
01:03:04.440 well, because when they grow up and become, uh, adults and citizens, they participate in the world.
01:03:10.940 And it's just, how will they be participating in the world? Will, will they be participating
01:03:15.820 as Antifa style individuals? Will they be rude and not respect their elders? Or will these be,
01:03:23.460 uh, minds that have been shaped and molded for goodness? And so we have a choice to make, right?
01:03:28.660 Like I said, we're, we're at a crossroads right now. And I believe that, uh, the tides are turning
01:03:34.020 and I believe that together we are having an impact and, and that we can hit a home run and that we can
01:03:41.960 really turn this around. Uh, but as we said before, we need all hands on deck. And for those of you who
01:03:48.060 are able to give and support Action for Canada, we request that we've got amazing fall programs
01:03:53.560 coming up for our youth program. And for the parent webinar, Phil Lease will, and his team will be coming
01:03:59.640 on, uh, to teach biblical sexuality, to teach a healthy view of sexuality to our youth, to counter
01:04:06.440 what the world is teaching them. And as well for parents, how do I talk to my kids about this stuff,
01:04:11.200 right? And so we think it's really, really important to invest in Canadians. And so we hope
01:04:16.740 that you will, uh, you know, find the value in that and invest in Action for Canada as well.
01:04:21.640 So we look forward to seeing you next week. I hope you have a wonderful week and a great weekend.
01:04:26.000 God bless you and God bless Canada.
01:04:41.200 I'm going to thank God and God alone for the ground that I'm standing on.
01:04:53.480 I'm going to thank our founding fathers for giving their lives and sacrificing so much for our freedom.
01:05:02.120 And I'm calling on you today. Don't put them to shame. Don't waste what they did. We have guaranteed rights in this country.
01:05:16.260 We are putting chapters across the nation. We are going to be in every town and every city and we are going to build communities within these communities of life-minded people who are actually going to care for one another again and love on each other and give each other the help when they're down.
