How did America go from a church on every corner to a culture in free fall? Live at Fight Laugh Feast's Holy Wars conference, Gabe "Waterboy" Rench sits down with Pastor Doug Wilson for a panel and audience Q&A. They cover a church that is Christian enough to dislike what's happening but not repentant enough to say "Christ over all," where America really turned, Boomers and Zoomers, raising children who aren't "breeders for the secularists," and why AI may be the next great idol.
In this episode: 00:00 Gabe's on-stage "intervention" and why CrossPolitic started in 2016 04:31 30,000 churches in Texas. So how did we get here? 07:22 Christian enough to complain, not repentant enough to repent: Christ over all of life 08:27 A culture going bankrupt one department at a time 13:38 Where America turned: WWII, the courts, and Machen's Christianity and Liberalism 21:00 Was the Civil War the real hinge? 24:47 Boomers and younger generations: pride and bitterness 32:33 Reformation and revival: Moscow's kids, and Finney vs. Whitefield and Edwards 36:31 Audience Q&A: is there a third-generation curse? 39:16 Faithfulness vs. inaction: "Geronimo, Amen" 42:37 Trusting God for your children's salvation, and the $3.75 memory 45:53 Boomers vs. Zoomers: forgiveness and the fifth commandment 50:15 Influencer vs. influential 51:21 Is AI the next false religion in the West? 55:00 What loosened America's hold on Christianity: the "wall of separation" 56:46 Can the mainline denominations be retaken?

Fight Laugh Feast Holy Wars Panel w/ Doug Wilson

Washington State isn't a lost cause. Christians have just never taken the field. 🔥
 
On CrossPolitic 101 with the Waterboy, Gabe Rench sits down with Pastor Adam James, executive pastor of Grace City Church in Wenatchee, who recently ran for State Representative in Washington's 12th Legislative District and leads the Washington chapter of For Liberty and Justice. In 10 Washington legislative districts, conservatives lost their last competitive races by less than 4%, while more than a million self-identified Christians in the state didn't vote. Adam and Gabe talk about the church's responsibility for the decline of the culture, men's ministry and Stronger Man Nation, what For Liberty and Justice is doing to raise up godly candidates, and the big ballot issues this November: Idaho's Proposition 1, Washington's three citizen initiatives, and five Washington Supreme Court seats.

Populism, Vote-Buying, and Building Wealth for the Next Generation

JD Vance Wants To Fight Socialism With Socialism

CrossPolitic — Show Notes: The Lindsay Clancy Case, the Culture, and the Church
Gabe, Pastor Toby, and Knox take up the Lindsay Clancy trial — the Massachusetts mother who killed her three children while on a cocktail of psychiatric medications — and work through the case, the culture, and the church's responsibility. They address toxic empathy from women at the courthouse, the pharmakeia connection to CrossPolitic's latest documentary, what Genesis 9 says about moral agency regardless of mental state, why biblical justice demands the death penalty Massachusetts removed in 1947, and what it means for men — fathers, pastors, husbands — to take responsibility for a culture they helped disciple into this.
 
Timestamps
00:00 — Intro & Fight Laugh Feast conference update — October 1–3, Franklin, TN
00:00 — Sponsors — Patriot Mobile Connect and Red Balloon Recruiter
00:00 — Background on the Lindsay Clancy case — who she is, what happened, and the trial
00:00 — Toxic empathy at the courthouse — women blaming Patrick, astrology charts, and the "not guilty" crowd
00:00 — Candace Owens clip — where she's right about Big Pharma and where she's wrong about guilt
00:00 — Pharmakeia — how the case connects to CrossPolitic's documentary on pharmaceutical gods
00:00 — Genesis 9 and moral agency — even animals are held responsible; insanity is not a biblical category
00:00 — She was a labor and delivery nurse for nine years — the premeditation nobody's discussing
00:00 — Massachusetts, the death penalty, and the logic of a culture of death
00:00 — Romans 1 — every sin is a kind of temporary insanity; being deceived doesn't give you a pass
00:00 — The church's failure — no concept of God's holiness, coddling feminine sin, and the feminization of Christianity
00:00 — WNBA clip — Enes Kanter and the soccer flop as justice; whoever cries loudest wins
00:00 — Will Spencer's testimony — 20 years of new age ceremonies, and what finally changed him was guilt
00:00 — The fathers of women in that crowd — they deserve to be flogged for what they gave society
00:00 — Men taking responsibility — Christ's headship, Adam in the garden, and loving a whore bride

About CrossPolitic
CrossPolitic exists to put Jesus over Politics and reclaim the public square through bold, joyful, biblically grounded media. We confront the chaos discipling America and build the next generation of Christian media infrastructure. Our mission is simple: all of Christ for all of media for all of America.
&nbsp;
Mainstream media is collapsing. Eighty-seven percent of journalists identify as progressive, and even many conservative outlets prioritize profit over principle. Meanwhile, billions of hours of digital content are discipling the world every day. CrossPolitic stands in that gap, producing courageous, entertaining, truth-filled media for households, churches, and leaders across the nation.

CrossPolitic (Christ over politics) mixes the taboo formula of faith, culture, and politics to bring the clarity of the gospel into muddle America. We are a community of Christians who desire to see the Lordship of Christ in every corner of our culture, reigning over every politician, and changing every individual for our good and His glory. Our hosts are pastors, deacons, and filmmakers, who long to see our fallen and broken nation recognize Jesus as our redeemer. Our hosts have interviewed notable presidential candidates (such as Senator Ted Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson), written books, preach the Gospel, make films, and utilize every avenue possible to declare the gospel of our Lord to the whole world.
