When the ground moves under your feet, what do you hold onto? We sit down with Pastor Alan Jackson at the Pro Family Legislators Conference to tackle a hard but hopeful thesis: the church is meant to shape culture, not drift behind it. With candor and care, we revisit how faith retreated from boardrooms, classrooms, and civic life—and why that retreat let rival worldviews set the terms. This isn’t a partisan rant; it’s a call to bring a clear, biblical worldview back into public conversations about marriage, family, authority, and moral courage.

We trace the inflection points that changed the landscape. COVID didn’t just close buildings; it exposed foundations and cracked our trust in institutions that asked for deference while shifting standards. Hebrews 12 reframes the moment as a shaking—painful, yes, but purifying—so what cannot be shaken remains. Jesus’ image of birth pains adds urgency: intensity and frequency rise as delivery nears. That perspective moves us away from escapism and toward readiness, training believers to run through the tape with steady conviction.

Pastor Jackson presses into practical steps. Tell the truth even when it’s unpopular. Equip congregations to apply Scripture to current life, not just ancient history. Support leaders who carry a biblical worldview into policy without treating politics as a savior. Confront moral fog with moral clarity, from pandemic policies to the horrors of October 7. Our heritage shows that Christian ideas once shaped law, liberty, and civic virtue; recovering that influence requires humility, courage, and collaborative action across churches and statehouses.
