00:00:34.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:42.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:41.000It feels like just a couple months ago, we were in Dallas together, and we've been very, very busy in the last couple months.
00:02:48.000For those of you that don't kind of follow what we do at Turning Point USA or the work that I do on our podcast and our radio show, my life's work is focused on the second most important thing that someone can do.
00:02:59.000So before I tell you what that is, obviously we need to agree on what the first thing is.
00:03:02.000The most important thing is winning people for Jesus Christ.
00:03:06.000It's the most important thing we can do is to win souls for Jesus Christ and to expand the kingdom.
00:03:12.000So what's the second most important thing?
00:03:14.000To make sure you could do the first thing.
00:03:16.000My day job is to make sure that churches are never closed again by government edicts and mandates while strip clubs and cannabis dispensaries remain open.
00:03:24.000My day job is to make sure that no one ever deems the church non-essential, to make sure that the Constitution is understood by the citizenry of our country, to make sure that churches and pastors are empowered and also encouraged to speak about these issues.
00:03:46.000I could spend, oh, what I have, 23 minutes and 30 seconds all about the disaster, what's happening in our country around the world.
00:03:53.000But instead, I want to kind of lead with a message of hope and optimism of what I'm seeing happen with the people of our country and also kind of challenge those pastors out there, those of you that are involved in your local church and community, to something that I think that is so needed right now in our country and our nation.
00:04:10.000The left has captured almost every single major institution of influence.
00:04:14.000They've captured Hollywood, academia, the National Basketball Association, National Football League, big tech, almost every single corporation.
00:04:22.000The one place that they haven't completely and totally captured is the American church.
00:04:28.000The American church is going to determine the future of this constitutional republic.
00:04:32.000Now, some pastors and Christians come up to me and they say, Charlie, nowhere in the Bible does it say should we care about what's happening in our nation.
00:04:40.000Well, in Jeremiah 29, 7, it says to demand the welfare of the nation that you are in, because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.
00:04:48.000Daniel fasted and prayed for his nation.
00:04:50.000Esther, Mordecai, Nehemiah, and Jeremiah were all God's people trying to influence secular government for God's purpose.
00:04:58.000All throughout the Old and New Testament, we see example after example of the idea of the Christian being the counselor to the king.
00:05:06.000Over the last couple decades, we as Christians, some have done a phenomenal job, but largely the church has grown silent and that counselor is no longer there.
00:05:14.000And the secular left-wing influences that we all see that are infiltrating our world, they are the ones that are now counseling the king and counseling the government.
00:05:22.000So we're at a moment of time right now where the church has a decision to make.
00:05:26.000Now, there are three types of churches and three types of pastors.
00:05:30.000I'm going to start with the pastors like Jack Kibbs, like Rob McCoy, so many of the pastors that you've heard through here, this amazing conference.
00:05:36.000The pastors that are speaking truth, that are courageous, that are brave, that are willing to take a stand.
00:05:42.000Pastors like John MacArthur, who led the charge on reopening the church.
00:05:45.000Pastors that are speaking about the moral issues of our time.
00:05:48.000Pastors that equip their congregation and their flock with biblical truth and also tell them what's happening in the news and what the Bible has to say about it.
00:05:57.000Unfortunately, that is a small percentage of American pastors.
00:06:00.000Unfortunately, that is an ever-minority of the American pastoral community because it comes at a cost.
00:06:06.000Now, it doesn't come at a financial cost.
00:06:08.000Ask John MacArthur, Jack Kibbs, and these other pastors, are your tithes and offerings going up?
00:06:12.000Almost every single one of them will say yes.
00:07:17.000But you see what's happening in Canada to Pastor Archer Pavlovsky, a man who opened his church multiple times and was arrested as if he was an international drug lord, how they would treat El Chapa with his face to the concrete.
00:07:29.000And most American pastors aren't even aware, let alone comment on what's happening to our neighbors to the north in the persecution of religious liberty of a country that's our number one trading ally and a country that shares a border and does a lot of commerce with us.
00:07:42.000And so these sort of pastors, I think, we have to try to shepherd.
00:07:45.000We have to encourage, we have to tell them, hey, this is a time, this is a moment where it's not just a good idea, but you are morally, we believe you are morally convicted at this moment to tell your congregation right from wrong.
00:07:57.000You see, right now, it's very easy to have the lines blurred if you do not look at things through a biblical lens.
00:08:02.000It's easy to be tempted to believe in these utopian dreams and promises and the globalist type projection that we're seeing on television.
00:08:12.000And for these types of pastors, I think one call to action for all of you, because obviously everyone in this room agrees largely with this sort of mandate, is we need to try to challenge these pastors with grace and truth and love, but also try to set the standard higher.
00:08:26.000We as Christians need to set the standard of what we expect out of pastors.
00:08:30.000Now, I'm not saying pastors need to say who to vote for or whatever, but very simply and plainly, these pastors need to be saying, you know what?
00:08:42.000Well, that's being taught at almost every major university across the country that men can become pregnant.
00:08:47.000It's hate speech to say that on most university campuses that I visit at Apple, that all of us have Apple devices, almost every single person, they now have a pregnant man emoji that we can all use.
00:08:57.000When the church goes silent, then lies will triumph.
00:09:02.000So we need to encourage those pastors to speak boldly and plainly.
00:09:07.000If five, six, seven, or a hundred people get up and walk out during the sermon, that means you're doing your job.
00:09:14.000That means that if a couple people say, well, you know, I don't like hearing this, well, look, take it from somebody when I visit a college campus, I have to come with armed guards, dogs, and sometimes helicopter support.
00:09:24.000It means nothing if you lose five, ten, a hundred, or two hundred people or the angry emails.
00:09:29.000The only thing that matters is, are you proclaiming truth every time you take the pulpit?
00:09:50.000I will give you the mute button to mute me so I won't interrupt you.
00:09:53.000Please explain to me why you think critical race theory, wokeism, open borders, and a globalist agenda is consistent and harmonic with the gospel.
00:10:00.000I invite anyone to please tell me where the biblical scripture that justifies redistributive socialism, Marxism.
00:10:07.000Of course, it's a the silence is overwhelming at times.
00:10:12.000We need to lovingly ask, hey, why is it that you believe America is systemically racist?
00:10:16.000We're the least racist country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:10:19.000Why is it your church did a BLM march in the last summer?
00:10:22.000What is it exactly that motivated you to do that?
00:10:24.000Yet March for Life, you say that our church doesn't get involved in politics.
00:10:27.000You know, on Sanctity of Life Sunday, you're completely and totally silent.
00:10:31.000Yet I've never heard once from your church where you say that marriage is between a man and a woman, or you talk about moral standards.
00:10:37.000It's up to us to not do this angrily, but instead challenge in a way that will try to raise the standard.
00:10:44.000We're starting to see this tension happen within the church, and most people do not know.
00:10:48.000The very same forces that are behind the great reset, and I'll talk about that in just a second, are the ones that are trying to infiltrate the American church.
00:10:55.000There are many organizations that are funded by people that are not Christians, such as George Soros, that are getting into the church themselves, that are trying to corrupt the gospel, try to train future pastors, and try to dilute the word of God.
00:11:06.000Many youth pastors intentionally, unintentionally, get exposed to this sort of social relativism.
00:11:12.000Now, this is very simple, and I think we'll all agree with this, which is people say, Charlie, why are there such bad politics in the church?
00:11:18.000I believe when you have bad theology, you get bad politics.
00:11:22.000I believe if you think the Bible is just a bunch of suggestions or metaphors, then who's to say that it's not the irrefutable, perfect word of God?
00:11:30.000Some pastors will come out recently and they say, the Bible is just ancient documents.
00:11:34.000It doesn't determine or dictate what we as Christians believe.
00:11:38.000A major pastor that all of you would know came out and said this yesterday on Twitter.
00:11:41.000He said, the Bible, look, Christianity isn't really about the Bible.
00:12:16.000And to say that we just have this myopic, kind of one centered on just one kind of one narrative is so unbelievably dangerous.
00:12:24.000And that's where you get bad politics.
00:12:26.000And then all of a sudden, if you open that Pandora's box, that kind of social relativism, then how are you supposed to?
00:12:32.000Because if you tell your congregation Leviticus does not matter, Deuteronomy does not matter, Exodus doesn't matter, Genesis doesn't matter, then you will just start to get into all sorts of other wacky ideas that are not rooted in truth, but instead rooted in lies.
00:12:44.000So those are the three types of pastors in churches.
00:12:46.000So we need to support the good pastors.
00:12:49.000And even if it's $5 a year, go find pastors that are doing the right thing.
00:12:58.000We're doing a lot of work with these types of pastors and trying to encourage them and support them any way we can.
00:13:04.000If you see them, just say, keep it up.
00:13:06.000That gives them the sort of inspiration, gives them the encouragement they need.
00:13:10.000But we also have to understand those pastors are under supernatural spiritual attack right now.
00:13:15.000Because Satan does not want the American church to rise up for natural rights and for liberty.
00:13:21.000He would love the American church to be endlessly compliant.
00:13:24.000He wants the American church to just kind of be part of the social norms.
00:13:29.000He wants the American church to be a rock concert with a TED Talk with new tennis shoes every Sunday, saying a swear word every once in a while to be cool to try to win new people over, but never actually proclaiming the truth because they don't want to be divisive.
00:13:41.000Well, news flash, the gospel can actually be kind of divisive.
00:13:44.000When you're talking about eternity, then you're actually going to be divisive.
00:13:49.000When you talk about how some people are going to go to heaven and some people will not, by definition, you're going to have to make truth claims.
00:13:56.000Now, that doesn't mean your message has to be given in a way that's going to try to turn people off.
00:14:15.000But if you just view success by budgets and buildings and getting more seats out there and more people in there, then I would challenge that.
00:14:22.000It's the pastors that stand with integrity, stand for truth, and stand with courage at this time.
00:15:23.000He sits on the Turning Point USA Advisory Board.
00:15:26.000Go to mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.
00:15:32.000The other thing that I want to kind of challenge all of us here is you go back to your church.
00:15:36.000If your pastor is not openly talking about the Great Reset and the implications behind it, then they are not properly shepherding their flock.
00:15:45.000We did a whole conversation with Jack Kibbs last week that has now been seen millions of times in just one week, podcast and YouTube, explaining what is the Great Reset.
00:15:55.000Just by background, there is an organization, an international organization, called the World Economic Forum.
00:16:00.000They are outwardly secular, and they have eight specific goals of how they want the world to look like by 2030.
00:16:12.000The World Economic Forum is run by these group of people of celebrities, world leaders, financiers that do not want a strong America.
00:16:20.000They do not believe in Christian values.
00:16:21.000They don't believe in Christianity at all.
00:16:22.000They want a deteriorated border, and they want all these sorts of different things.
00:16:26.000If you look at the World Economic Forum run by Klaus Schwab, it is the tension point and the collision point with everything that we as Christians believe.
00:16:33.000Let me read some of their out there, stated goals.
00:16:35.000By the way, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, Gavin Newsom are all graduates of the World Economic Forum Young Leaders Graduate Program.
00:16:43.000Most Christians have no idea this is going on.
00:16:45.000Most Christians don't even consider this to be the threat, that there are international forces that are trying to crush our civilization and our way of life.
00:16:52.000Number one of the Great Reset, they say, you will own nothing by 2030 and you will be happy.
00:16:58.000So let's just focus on that for a second.
00:17:00.000Not only will you own nothing, but you'll be happy.
00:17:04.000They're going to tell us that we're going to enjoy owning nothing.
00:17:07.000Private property ownership is linked to liberty and freedom.
00:17:12.000The first real estate deal that we ever saw in humankind was Abraham going down to Hebron and buying what is now the Hall of the Patriarchs.
00:17:27.000And to believe that we can live in some sort of a society or some sort of cultural civilization where everyone owns anything, no one will own anything except the World Economic Forum, except the Bill Gates and the Jeff Bezos of the world.
00:17:40.000Number two, the Great Reset World Economic Forum says by 2030, the United States will no longer be the world's superpower.
00:17:51.000If America no longer exists as the greatest nation in the history of the world, or the greatest nation in the world, which we are on pace for right now through the intentional and deliberate destruction of our republic, unfortunately, who's going to take the place?
00:18:03.000The most powerful atheist country ever to exist in the history of the world, China?
00:18:07.000So Christians say, that's not my game.
00:18:21.000Yeah, most American churches remain silent on this.
00:18:24.000Number three, on the Great Reset, they say you won't die waiting for an organ donor because we'll be able to create organs out of machines.
00:18:33.000There's a verse in 2 Timothy that actually prophesies this, that in the end days, people will stop eating the things of the land and instead will go do all these sorts of abstract things.
00:19:10.000Is that if all of a sudden it's this kind of androgynous sort of posture that you're putting forward and blurring the lines between male and female, then that's a direct insult to the God that created us and made those distinct differences between men and women and women and men.
00:19:25.000But eating less meat is directly tied.
00:19:27.000That's a different topic for a different time.
00:19:34.000Number seven, the Great Reset says by 2030 that you in the West, it says, quote, Western values will be at a breaking point, that Western values will be destroyed.
00:20:14.000Consent to the governed, separation of powers, that we are all image-bearers, that we deserve natural rights, the right to due process, the right to privacy, the right to speech, the right to self-defense.
00:20:25.000To them, Western values are a stumbling block.
00:20:54.000You see, what's so amazing about America and Western civilization is that we are much harder to bring down than the elites realized.
00:21:02.000Despite their best efforts of spending money we don't have and inflating our currency and calling you all domestic terrorists, despite their best efforts to infiltrate our groups, America has a lot more fight left in us than they ever thought.
00:21:13.000So they have to go to more dramatic means through a currency reset, through almost a moral existential dilemma happening in the West where things are so bad that we will raise our hands up and say, save us, Leonard DiCaprio, save us, Greta Thunberg, save us, Justin Trudeau, because things are so bad.
00:21:30.000Understand that when you see the Great Reset list, this is the prism.
00:21:35.000These are the glasses you need to look through when you watch the news.
00:21:40.000He doesn't want the Keystone XL pipeline because they want to try to get rid of carbon emissions.
00:21:44.000They want to inflate the currency because they don't want to have U.S. be the world's superpower.
00:21:48.000Yes, what I'm getting at is that chaos, the destruction, the uneasiness that you're seeing on a night-to-night basis is intentional.
00:21:56.000What we are seeing on a night-to-night basis, what we're seeing happen in real time, which quite honestly, I'll be very blunt.
00:22:03.000It's one of the most frustrating things I've ever had to live through in my life to see a beautiful country that so many people sacrificed for with the greatest political document ever written intentionally abused and destroyed on a day-to-day basis.
00:23:01.000Understand the biblical prophecy behind it.
00:23:03.000But also, we have to fight back against it.
00:23:06.000You know, I had somebody come up to my booth the other day and they said, Charlie, the Great Reset, I loved your conversation with Jack Hibbs.
00:24:10.000What happened in February, March, and April of last year was something historic and unprecedented.
00:24:16.000The people that run the great reset, the Klaus Schwabs, the Emmanuel Macrons, the Justin Trudeau's, the Kamala Harris's, the people that are all part of that kind of organization, they thought they could deliver a metaphorical death blow to the West.
00:24:30.000They thought by calling you all domestic terrorists, by keeping you locked down, by forcing vaccines upon you, by keeping you forcibly masked, that you would raise your hands up and say, enough.
00:24:39.000I don't believe in what I actually thought I believed in.
00:24:43.000But something unusual happened in March and April of last year.
00:24:46.000Despite their attempt to culturally blitzkrieg you, despite their attempt to try to suffocate you, despite their attempt to try to metaphorically have you sue for peace, the exact opposite happened.
00:24:57.000All of a sudden we saw the American person reject the idea of being a serf or a subject and reassert themselves as a citizen.
00:25:05.000In June and July and August of last year, we started to see moms and dads show up at school board meetings across the country.
00:25:13.000The homeschooling population quadrupled in the last two years.
00:25:18.000And the great reset crowd, the Anthony Fauci's, the people that are in charge, they say, wait a second, I don't get these Christian folks in America.
00:25:26.000Something doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
00:25:28.000The more we name-call them, the harder they fight.
00:25:32.000The more that we try to persecute them, the more pastors are starting to rise up.
00:25:36.000And then, of course, in August of last year, in early September, the Department of Justice of the United States, alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Secret Service, they decided to issue a letter at the prompting of the National School Board Association of America that said that any parent that shows up to school board meetings might be deemed as a domestic terrorist.
00:25:57.000Domestic terrorism is now complaining about curriculum.
00:26:00.000Domestic terrorism is showing up at your local school board meeting.
00:26:03.000This regime believes the Iranian mullahs are good partners, and moms and dads that complain about textbooks are domestic terrorists.
00:26:10.000But what's so fascinating for me is after that letter was issued saying that we are going to use the Department of Justice, the Patriot Act, and you might be guilty of treason because that you complain about curriculum, more parents started to show up at school board meetings after that letter was issued.
00:26:29.000And that's what we are seeing happen in real time.
00:26:31.000And this is a moment where only the American church can bring this to a point where we can execute a once-in-a-generation metaphorical extinction event against these globalists and their ambitions and the woke left.
00:26:46.000It's that you are starting to see the citizen rise.
00:26:50.000You are starting to see everyday people, the police officer, the plumber, the electrician, the welder, start to take ownership for their country.
00:26:56.000I know a lot of people here have been coming to this conference for hope.
00:27:00.000You've done everything that has been asked of you.
00:28:37.000Jonathan Edwards, George Whitfield, and Jonathan Mayhew founded this country with the Black Robe Regiment.
00:28:41.000In the 1820s, when America was morally slipping, the American church rose up.
00:28:45.000The American church led the fight against the moral stain of slavery.
00:28:48.000In the 1950s, when communism was on the march, it was Billy Graham who traveled the country before he did his very famous open-air revivals and gave a sermon 300 times that most Christians have never heard of, saying that communism is the religion of Satan.
00:29:03.000And as long as I have breath in my lungs, I will communicate and educate to the people of Western civilization why we must eradicate the satanic influence of socialism in America.
00:29:14.000If Billy Graham can say that, every single American pastor can say it today.
00:29:20.000So it is a question, and this is being organized on a supernatural level.
00:29:25.000The citizen is rising right now, and the regime is paranoid.
00:29:47.000And right now is the moment where the church can be the catalyst and the amplifier to save this gift from the Lord, which is Western civilization and the United States of America.
