Are we willing to face the truth about what’s happening in our nation and in the Church? In this important conversation, Dean Vander Mey and Jay Fettig join us to talk honestly about the spiritual crisis unfolding in America — and the hope God is still offering.We dig into why the next generation is calling out hypocrisy, how the Church drifted into compromise, and what it really means to stand against evil in a culture that celebrates it. Dean shares the painful story of his childhood church closing due to darkness, and why believers must understand the reality of the two kingdoms at war. We also confront the uncomfortable topics no one wants to touch: the spiritual reality behind Halloween, the rise of pornography in schools, and why so many Christians remain spiritually powerless — disconnected from the Word of God. But this episode isn’t just a warning; it’s a call to hope, courage, and holiness. God is raising up a generation who refuses to bow.If you’re ready to wake up, stand firm, and start living as a true disciple in dark days, this conversation is for you.
