Episode 138: The Lie of Separation: Why Church and State Were Never Meant to Be Divorced

Today, we torch the most pervasive myth of our age: the so-called “separation of church and state.” This episode, we go to war with the lies that have muzzled the church, neutered pastors, silenced CEOs, and left a nation in moral freefall. Paul Neuberger tears down the false wall erected by culture, the courts, and the timid—and builds on the foundation of the Founders and the Word of God.

We’re talking history—real history—the words of Washington, Adams, Madison. We’re talking Scripture—God’s Word, not man’s whispers. The world will ridicule. The world will rage. But the truth remains: Jesus is still Lord—in the boardroom, in the ballot box, and in every corner of public life.

So what will you do when the next lie comes knocking? Will you cower—or will you stand?

Buckle up, brothers. This one’s raw, real, and rooted in truth.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.” (Psalm 33:12).

Key Takeaways:

01:11 - This is for the remnant. This is for the ones who are ready to draw a line in the sand. This show is for the warriors of God who are sick and tired of watching our world get flushed down the moral toilet, all while the church sits silently in the pews. And today? What about today? Oh boy. We've got a show that's going to tear down one of the most dangerous, pervasive and deceptive lies that has ever been told in the modern age. The so called separation of church and state... But here's the deal. It's a lie. A complete, fabricated, cherry picked, historically distorted, spiritually bankrupt, intellectually dishonest lie. And I'm going to prove that to you today, once and for all.

19:51 – That's not virtue. That's cowardice. Even worse, that's cultural surrender. Again, another question here for you. If the founders could time travel to 2025 and see what's become of this country, drag queen story time in libraries, the Ten Commandments banned from schools, and churches shut down during COVID while liquor stores stayed open... Do you really think they'd say, yeah, this is what we meant by separation of church and state? Heck no. I'd bet dollars to donuts they'd weep, they'd rage, and they'd fight to restore the truth. And we must do the exact same thing.

47:00 – We are ambassadors for the King of Kings. We serve the God who formed the heavens, parted the seas, walked out of the grave, and now calls us to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth, including in government. We are not called to fit in. We are called to stand out. So now that we've had this important conversation, here's the challenge. Stop waiting. Stop wishing someone else would do it. Be the one... Be the bold, unapologetic, Spirit-filled, truth-telling disciple our nation so desperately needs. Let the world tremble not at our volume, but at our clarity. Not at our anger, but at our authority. Not at our rage, but at our righteousness. Let them hear once and for all: We will not bow. We will not shut up. We will not retreat. We have crushed the paper tiger. Now let's light it on fire.
