#118 - The Church Is SLEEPING Through A Revolution

The Church Is Sleeping Through a Revolution — a phrase that cuts to the heart of a growing crisis in American Christianity. Eric Metaxas, reflecting from the hallowed grounds of Lexington and Concord, draws a stark parallel between the moral urgency of 1776 and today’s battle for truth, liberty, and faith. He argues that the modern church has become complacent, failing to recognize the existential threat posed by Marxist ideology infiltrating education, media, and government — not through overt violence, but through cultural erosion and the normalization of moral relativism. His guest, Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riagno, president of Cornerstone University, confirms this alarm: a generation of Christians is asleep at the wheel, misled by the lie that politics is separate from the gospel. The real danger, they warn, is not just policy but the collapse of truth itself — a collapse that threatens not only faith but the very fabric of free society. Metaxas calls for a spiritual awakening: Christians must stop funding churches that remain silent on evil, stop retreating into tribalism, and become warriors for truth, just as the Founders did. This is not a political crusade, but a moral and spiritual imperative — a call to remember that liberty is a gift from God, and that defending it is part of our Christian duty. The episode is a clarion call to action, rooted in history, faith, and urgency. Metaxas doesn’t just lament the state of the church — he demands transformation. He exposes the hypocrisy of churches that preach the Bible while ignoring the war for America’s soul. He highlights how legislation targeting religious institutions, such as LGBTQ+ mandates for state funding, are not abstract policy debates but existential threats. The message is clear: neutrality is complicity. The time to act is now — not for political gain, but for the survival of truth, freedom, and the soul of the nation. This is not just about a book or a retreat; it’s about a revolution that’s already underway, and the Church must wake up before it’s too late.
