Starting point is 00:00:00 Folks, welcome to the Eric Mataxis show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Do you check your bucket list lately? Are you ready to take care of item number seven? Listening to the Eric Metaxe show? Well, welcome. Tune in and then move on to item number eight, skydiving with Chuck Schumer and AOC. Here now is Mr. Completed My I completed my bucket list at age 12, Eric Matt, Texas. Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been informed that it's Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Happy Wednesday. That's the kind of life I've been leading, Chris. And it's the kind of life evidently you've been leading, because you just said, it's Tuesday. Yeah, that's what... But here, the good news, you're just one day off. Yeah. What's a day in the scheme of things?
Starting point is 00:01:01 In life, we live thousands of days. You're just one day off. Yeah, I feel like I'm trapped in an hourglass. These are the days of our lives. So today, evidently, is Wednesday. If it's Wednesday, it means that an hour one, which is to say in a couple of minutes, we are going to be talking to our friend Neil Mammon. Neil Mammon is one of the folks behind my churchfinder.com or is it.
Starting point is 00:01:27 org, I forget. My churchfinder. I think it's dot com, but we'll, he'll clarify. We'll clarify. But I want to be clear with my audience. This is a big deal. I need your involvement, okay? my friend Roger Ellswick, I guess he heard me,
Starting point is 00:01:44 I think he heard me talking about this like a year and a half ago that we need to be able to tell people where to go to find a good church. And the number one thing I say when people say, well, what can I do? Everything's all screwed up. You can get out of the church you're in and go to a church that actually cares about the culture going to hell, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:02 And so how do you do that? Well, one of the ways you do that is go to letter to the Americanchurch.com where there's a list of churches doing, free screenings. You can be pretty sure those are churches you'd like to check out. But my churchfinder.com. We'll talk it to Neil Mammon about it. It's very exciting. And this gives me an opportunity to talk about a clip I saw on the internet this morning. I think I saw it. Didn't have a monkey in it because I saw that one too. Well, not technically. It was a preacher. And the preacher was very emotional, but he didn't have, there was no substance to what he said. He was basically,
Starting point is 00:02:40 saying it's the same old thing. We are voting is not our duty. It is a civic privilege or whatever the heck he said. But he's speaking out of such ignorance that it was staggering. He was absolutely staggering. Political discourse doesn't have any place in the truth. Well, yeah, yeah. And listen, there are a couple of things he said I agree with. I don't like it when a Bible comes out that has the Constitution printed in there along with the, like I get that, okay? But that doesn't need to set you off so that you tell your people that, you know, civic and political engagement doesn't matter. To say that, again, I've spoken about this at infinitum.
Starting point is 00:03:21 But the level of ignorance of many Christians and Christian leaders on this, it is stunning and horrifying. And it's why the nation is in free fall to hell because of Christians misunderstanding this, misunderstanding how you read the scripture, how that translates to where we are now. It's a horrifying thing. So this pastor's out there raving about this, and I tweeted something about it,
Starting point is 00:03:46 but it's simply ignorant. It is tremendously ignorant. I hate when people use religious cliches. Like, it's about the kingdom. Like, yeah, and what does that mean, sir? Can you break that one down for me? Does that mean I don't care about America? Does it mean God doesn't want us to get involved politically?
Starting point is 00:04:06 So if there's slavery, hey, don't worry about it. it. That's not your problem. Just go to your prayer closet. You can go to your prayer closet and you can be politically active to abolish evil. So anyway, it was just one of those clips you think. And then, of course, there are people agreeing with it on the internet. And if anybody ever says anything like not nice to me on Twitter, I block them instantly because I won't have it. But I was so amazed by that. Okay, here's an example of something you can do. If you want to know what to do. We're doing a campaign with CSI. And people say, well, it's not about the kingdom. It's about freeing slaves. It's about freeing slaves. Jesus very clearly tells us we're supposed to love our
Starting point is 00:04:52 neighbor. And if somebody is enslaved and you don't do what you can, I mean, just think about what the good Samaritan did. You think about these things that, you know, guys beat up and he takes care of him and he does all this different stuff. Jesus is praising his actions. Now, Not its theology. He's a Samaritan. So this is an opportunity for me to say we're doing a campaign with CSI where we literally get to free slaves. By the grace of God, we get to free slaves. And to not participate in this is sad. Like this is an amazing thing that CSI has done to make it possible for us, for you and me, to use the money that God has given us to free slaves. So every time, $250 you give. Now you've got to go to metaxis talk.com. I'm going to give you the phone number.
Starting point is 00:05:42 But every $250 that is given, because you might not be able to give that. But maybe you can give a little bit per month. That adds up to $250 at the end of the year. Whatever you can do. Some of you can do multiples of 250. Every $250 frees a slave who has been in bondage in sedan for decades. It's think, folks, think about this, what you've done to the least of these. Think about it. Think about what people are suffering. We get to do something about it. The Lord put us in this world.
Starting point is 00:06:14 So when people say it's about the kingdom, yes, you're supposed to bring kingdom values to this world, to this world. How you vote, how you spend your money, how you spend your time, what you say and do. So this is such a great opportunity. CSI, I'm going to give the phone number because some people will call right now. 888-253-3522, 888-253-3522, 8-88-253-35-22, 8-88-253-35-22. Or you can just go to Metaxistock.com. There's a banner. Now, when you click on it, now, Chris, you've seen all this.
Starting point is 00:06:53 So I'm not telling you anything. But for the audience, when you click on it, you'll see all the options. You can give monthly, like if some people say, well, you know what, $250 is a lot of money but if you give monthly over 12 months you're literally freeing a human being from slavery and
Starting point is 00:07:09 setting them up in a life of freedom it's just a beautiful thing it's such a beautiful thing and to explain it a little further for people who are sort of like wait we have slavery I mean I think a lot of people know that these days there's still a lot of you know
Starting point is 00:07:23 trafficking and things like that but Sudan did ultimately outlaw it but these are people that were affected. They did not law slavery. No, no, no. They outlawed acquiring new slaves. Right, right, right. But the ones you had, you
Starting point is 00:07:38 got to keep. Right. So there's sort of like this weird grandfather clause thing where these people are trapped in a prior situation that was upheld basically functionally. Yeah, so if you have any woke friends that claim to care about black people here, are black people literally enslaved today?
Starting point is 00:07:55 So if you want to do something about that, you can. That's the miracle. You can do something about it. You go to TaxusTalk.com and click on the banner. And back to the minister clip, I mean, the idea of being a good citizen and being a good neighbor, like, you know, the Venn diagram on that is pretty much one to one. So it's weird that, you know, you have people that say, you know, the idea of citizenry and that sort of thing has no place in the church. It's pretty synonymous with being a good neighbor.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Well, I mean, I understand you're not supposed to make an idol of politics. you're not supposed to make an idol of the United States of America. Like, yes, that's correct. And I do get annoyed at any Bible that's like, it's the Patriots Bible or the Bible. It's like, yeah, that bothers me. As a Christian, it should just be the Bible, you know? I kind of got hoodwinked a while back. I bought one and had the Mason Dixon line through the middle.
Starting point is 00:08:45 It was a special Mason Dixon line. You got the End Times Food Preppers Bible. It comes with Slim Jims. And recipes. And recipes for Gorp. All right. So please go to Eric, Sorry, metaxis talk.com, click on the banner, give what you can.
Starting point is 00:09:03 And I say this, I just throw this out there. If there's anybody that can give $15,000 tax deductible to free many, many, many slaves, I will spend an evening out of my very, very, very busy schedule to have dinner with you and whoever you choose, whatever, it would be a blessing to do that. It would be an honor to do that just to thank you in person. So that's an incentive. anybody that wants to do that, please call the number 888-253-3522.
Starting point is 00:09:36 I will not do balloon sculptures at these dinners, but if you want to give me one, I will happily receive it on behalf of my team and CSI. 888-2533522, or go to metaxis talk.com. Metaxistalkis-talk. That's the website. Okay, so now we're,

Our friend Neil Mammon is on the show. Neil is the person behind no blind. faith.com. That's about apologetics, no blind faith.com. He has a new book out, daily apologetics
Starting point is 00:12:43 for kids, daily apologetics for kids. We're going to talk about that. But first, I'm really excited to talk to him about my churchfinder.org. Holy cow. Neil Menman, welcome back. Thank you. Thanks for having me back again. Good to see you again. Listen, I have been excited for many months about my churchfinder.org. For my audience, if they remember tell my audience what is my church finder.org. Folks, listen carefully. This is important. Mychurchfinder.org. Well, how many times have people asked you, well, hey, Eric, I'm moving to this area. I need to find a church. What's a good church? What can you recommend? Well, we've decided that not only should we be able to recommend good churches, but we have to be able to recommend
Starting point is 00:13:26 the churches that are active in the fight to stop the spread of what we're seeing today in America. Excuse me, Neil. That's what a good church is. I agree. I believe so. Yes. Right. In other words, the point is that there are plenty of people say, oh, my pastor is against the transgender lunacy, and my pastor is against abortion? And I think, okay, who cares? Is your pastor causing his congregation, his flock to get excited about this and to be activist against this madness? Or does he just say, well, I'm against it? Well, you're not that against it if you're not exhorting your people to do. do something about it because we live in America where we give freedom to do stuff about it. I mean, the reason I'm interrupting you is because everywhere I go, I talk about this.
Starting point is 00:14:13 I talk about my book, Letter to the American Church. I talk about my new book, Religinalist Christianity. And I talk about all the stuff that we've just said. And people always say, well, my pastor doesn't talk about this. Some of them will say, well, my pastor talks about it, but, you know, he's not exactly activist working against it. And then they say, well, what can I do? And I say, find a church.
Starting point is 00:14:38 This is where my churchfinder.org comes in. I say, you need to find a church that is in this war against evil. And so some months ago, you and our friend, I don't know if he wants to be named. Yeah, yeah, he does. Absolutely. Go ahead. Yeah, Roger Ellswick, who actually runs a number of car dealerships in Houston, man of God. said, hey, we need to find a way to get people out of these churches that are either woke.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Because a lot of churches are woke, right? They don't do. They're actually promoting homosexuality. They're promoting transgenderism. They're supporting abortion. And that's the worst church you can be at. But then there's the churches that just say, oh, we just preach the gospel. We don't do anything else. That's all we do. We preach the gospel. Well, those churches are not actually doing what God wants them to do. those pastors are not fulfilling the role of the prophet. What are they doing as close to what Eli or Samuel or Deborah or Obadiah or Jeremiah did? What part of those roles are not part of their role? So you want to passers actually going out there not only talking about it,
Starting point is 00:15:47 but not only preaching and also teaching about it, but then you've got to go one separate brother and not only teach about it, but you've got to do something about it. So what my church finder does is it categorizes. So we send out a survey to the pastor, and the pastors have to fill them out if they want to be listed. The worst thing you can get is it would not recommend. And we as up next week, we'll have about 3,000 would not recommend churches on that list.
Starting point is 00:16:15 The second worst one is, well, it's actually that is biblical. They're basically biblical. They meet the biblical requirements. They believe in the Nicene Creed. They follow all of what we consider the essentials of the faiths. That's, they get a C rating. To get a B rating, you have to now go a step further and actually talk about it. Do you preach about homosexuality?
Starting point is 00:16:37 Do you preach about abortion? You preach about transgenderism. Are you talking about what's coming up in the culture today? Are you talking about the fact that they're going to try and legalize pitophilia? Are you talking about the drag queens, drag queen events in the library? They're talking about the pornography in the schools. Are you teaching a congregation? That will get you a B rating.
Starting point is 00:16:56 To get an A rating, you have to not only do all those. those things, but then you have to be active politics. As we, as you just mentioned, Eric, what's the use of complaining about it when you're not doing anything about it? Who were the leaders of the foundation of the revolution? There were pastors, men of God. Who were the leaders in the
Starting point is 00:17:13 Old Testament who led and talked to kings? There were John the Baptist and the New Testament. John the Baptist and Jeremiah and all these prophets were out there fighting with the king saying, this is what you have to do. We want people to lead those B, C, and would not recommend churches
Starting point is 00:17:29 and go to the A-churches. So that's why my church find a dog. And I got to tell you, once again, God bless my friend, Roger Ellswick, and God bless you, Neil Mammon, because you guys, so many people say to me, I can't find a church. Where do I look?
Starting point is 00:17:45 Where do I look? Ladies and gentlemen, I say this in every speech. I was just in Michigan twice. I said at both places. I say it wherever I go, if you're going to a church that is not in this war against evil,
Starting point is 00:17:56 you are complicit with evil. Now, people don't want to hear that. I don't care if people want to hear it. I'm telling you what I think God is saying, right? You're complicit with evil because, look, German, I mean, what I write about in both my books, German pastors and German Christians who seemed to love God were complicit with evil. They were fooled into thinking they could be silent in the face of evil. they were fooled into thinking that they had this religious carve out.
Starting point is 00:18:29 We're just going to do church. We're just going to preach the gospel. Shame on you, because that's not what the Bible says. The Bible says we're supposed to love our neighbors. How do you love your neighbor? You stick out your neck. What does the Good Samaritan do? The Good Samaritan sticks out his neck.
Starting point is 00:18:46 He sacrifices. You know, Jesus didn't praise his theology. Jesus praised his actions. Praise his works, right? because your works show what you really believe. If you really believe in the God of the Bible, you're going to act like it. You're going to stick your neck out. And so people say, where can I go?
Starting point is 00:19:06 So here we are. It's called my churchfinder.org. Write it down, folks. Mychurchfinder.org. Get involved. This is so key. And you know, Neil, when you talk about like the C rating churches that are biblical, right, I would even say technically they're biblical, but they're not really biblical because if you're
Starting point is 00:19:28 biblical, you're going to live out your faith. The scripture doesn't say, believe this. It says you've got to live this. You've got to do this. Otherwise, you don't actually believe it. So, you know, it's the classic case where we say that, you know, you honor me with your lips, but your hearts are far from me. There are a lot of pastors and churches that they honor God with their lips, but they're not living it out. And so the hour could not be more late, ladies and gentlemen. This is why I want to tell you, if you're going to a church like that, you're giving your tithe money. That's God's money to a church that is basically saying, you know, what, we're going to take a pass. They're no different.
Starting point is 00:20:06 And again, it's in my book, a letter to the American church and in my new book, Religionless Christianity, these churches are complicit with evil. And if you go to that church, you're being complicit with evil. Now, that's okay if you repent and get out. But if you don't, you can't say you didn't hear you weren't warned. I'm warning you. I'm begging you to take this seriously that the hour is this late. So right now, I hope you'll go to my churchfinder.org.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And Neil, how many churches have signed up on this now? How many churches have taken the survey? Started in February. Sorry, in September. And so far we have about 250 churches, but here's what's more telling. We have about 500 churches that started to fill out the survey and then bailed on it. That's telling. These are the guys that started looking at the cute questions and said,
Starting point is 00:21:02 I'm not going to make this. And they decided to bail on it, which is very, very telling. And I think if you're on that list, you need to ask your pastor, why is he not on the list? By the way, you can go to the website and there's an email your pastor. You can click on it and we will send in your pastor's email, send him an email. and actually what will happen is, and this is coming up soon, eventually when the church shows up, it'll show up saying this church was emailed, the question of it, but has not responded yet, which is also very telling, too, that somebody's asked the church to respond, and they've not yet.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Because we got tired of the churches that were coming on board and there's bailing thinking they will avoid scrutiny that. I want to say to people listening right now, look, the hour couldn't be later. I'm not exaggerating. Lord, you know, strike me dead if I'm exaggerating. This is absolutely crucial, crucial. And I mean it that we need to get serious. If you can hear my voice right now, folks, I'm asking you, go to mychurchfinder.org, take this seriously, send it to your pastor. I also want to say, before we go to a break, another way to find good churches, and every one of these churches that I'm going to mention needs to fill out this survey. If you go to letter to the American
Starting point is 00:22:24 Church.com, if you go to letter to the American church.com and you look at all the churches that are doing free screenings of the film, the documentary film, Letter to the American Church, those churches, almost always are going to be brave, heroic churches that are in the fight. So I really need people to take this seriously. I need you to be a part of this. So please go to my churchfinder.org, but also, no kidding, go to letter to the American church.com. Look at those churches. Those are going to be good churches. Get those churches to fill out the survey. If you're part of those churches or whatever, we need everybody to help. We really need your help, folks. We really
Starting point is 00:23:08 do. We'll be right back talking to Neil Mammann. Hey, this is Eric Metaxus.

We're talking to our friend Neil Mammon, who is behind noblindfaith.com, and he's with my churchfinder.org. Neil, I want to talk about your book. You've got a lot of books, but the new one is called Daily Apologetics for Kids. What made you write an apologetics book for kids? Well, I'd grown my ministry by teaching junior hires in high schools. And then I realized that the problem is not junior highs and high school is because if you send your kids to Sunday school
Starting point is 00:26:00 and send them to youths, you know, the Bible studies and all that on the weeks, you, the church only has 17% influence on your kids. Whatever, I mean, you send it every time they're open, the past a youth pastor, the pastor only has about 17% influence of kids. their schools and their peers have 23% of influence in the kids. So every time we're losing, what, 75% of our kids, when they go out to the world or they go to college, they lead the faith. There are only two people who can change that statistic around. And you know who that is. It's mom and dad. Mom and dad has all the influence at home.
Starting point is 00:26:35 But that means that mom and dad have to be teaching their kids apologetics. That means they have to become experts in apologetics. They have to be the ones teaching. And I say, you need to develop. up with culture of apologetics in your point. That means you need. And the way I look at it is, look, if mom and dad, if your kid had a disease and 75% of those kids who had their disease died, would you send them off to the hospital and say,
Starting point is 00:26:59 okay, doctors, I trust you, take care of it? No, you would become the expert in the cures. You'd become the expert in the disease. You'd understand everything about it. You'd be going there, going on the internet, studying about it, going to seminars, going to conferences, becoming such the expert on it that you would be telling the teacher. about it, I mean, the doctors about it. And that's what we want to do for parents.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Parents, your child has a disease, when are you going to become an accident? And so that's why we release the book, Daily Apologetics for Kids, and that's where you as a parent go through with the kids on a daily basis. We release the first volume, which is the first month, and the falling lines will come afterwards. You can get them on Amazon.com. Daily Apologetics for Kids by Neil Mom. And I've written it with my 9-year-old and my 12-year-old.
Starting point is 00:27:41 They actually, we started it when they were six and, and, and, uh, nine, basically. And what we do is, it's very interesting how we do it. Most of the time, most of the apologetic stuff you find, they'll read something and then I ask questions to the kids. So what the kids do, they just regurgitate what they just heard in that section. We do it the opposite way. We start with a story that leaves them with a dilemma.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And then we ask questions. They're like five or six questions, and they have to come up with the answer. Like, for instance, one of the questions is, is it enough? to be a Christian just because mom and dad are Christians. Now, we haven't told them the answer. So most kids will say, well, yeah, I guess so. Or we'll say it's just having a strong faith enough to be a Christian. Is that make Christianity true? And we'll ask questions like that. And the kids have to wrestle on the answers. They're actually teaching them to think. Absolutely. And by the way, ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:28:39 that is biblical. That is the Lord's will that we think. The Lord has created us in his image and he's given us evidence everywhere we look for himself. And if we will think logically, it will lead us toward him. If we just regurgitate propaganda or talking points or things, you know, that that will not carry you so far. So actually teaching kids to think for themselves because I think in the past, you know, Neil, it's interesting. A lot of people say like, this stuff was shoved down my throat, but then I went to college and I, you know, I, the bottom line, is that you have to teach kids to think, because if they're actually thinking critically, it doesn't mean we're going to have all our questions answered. I've got a million questions,
Starting point is 00:29:24 but the basics are clear. There is a God. The Bible is true. It's verifiable. There is so much. I mean, my book is Atheism Dead is apologetics. And I say to adults, if you dare to read this, I will challenge you to not to believe that there's a God. In other words, you're going to be, it's not going to be possible for you if you read my book is atheism dead, because you're going to say, look, the evidence is overwhelming. It is so overwhelming. I'm embarrassed at how timid my faith was before. Once you know this stuff, it just changes everything. And so the truth is the truth.
Starting point is 00:30:08 And a lot of people are kind of existing in these shadows. where they kind of know a little bit or they have this sort of faith. But ladies and gentlemen, you know, if somebody says to you, is one plus one really equal to is the earth flat, you're not really going to be like, well, here's my opinion, you know. And that's kind of a lot of what our faith is, where we kind of have my opinions, but some of this stuff is open and shut. And we have to get our kids, you know, whether God exists,
Starting point is 00:30:37 you need to laugh at that in the same way that you'd laugh at somebody says, I think the earth is flat. It's like, all right, let me tell you privately, no, it's not flat. Here's an experiment you can do to prove the earth is not flat, right? Well, that's the point. Now, if people go to noblindfaith.com, can they find their way to this book? Yeah, they can. But the best place just to go is to Amazon and just look up daily apologetics for kids.
Starting point is 00:31:04 By the way, I just want to say, I was honored to be one of the references in your book on atheism, is atheism. dead. I don't remember which related to what. Who's agent X? Who's agent X? Proving God exists without using the Bible. So you, I was in the bibliography. That's right. We actually did a show on that. And then
Starting point is 00:31:25 but the other thing about the book is that so we ask things like, why should you be a Christian? Why should you believe in the Bible? How do you know the Bible is true? And kids are just like puzzled. And sometimes they'll answer the wrong question in that Q&A part, which is great. Because you learn when you, when you
Starting point is 00:31:41 learn when you're corrected, you learn just as much as when you get it right. And so, and then we go through the story and the answers are in the rest of the story. And then we ask the same questions again. And the beauty about this is you can look, we ask parents to write down their first answers to the question without revealing the truth. And then they write down their final answers to questions. And you can see how they've grown open. Actually teaching kids to think, daily apologetics for kids. You can go to no blind faith.com. No blind faith. We'll be right back. Three-star general Michael J. Flynn,
Starting point is 00:32:15 head of the Pentagon Intelligence Agency, knew all the government's dirty secrets. He was one of the most respected generals in the military. Flynn knew what the intel world had been up to. He understood its funding. He ordered the first audit of the use of contractors. This set off alarm bells. The explosive new documentary, Flynn,
Starting point is 00:32:35 deliver the truth, whatever the cost, and covers the facts behind this scandal. Flynn told the truth. He was the most dangerous person for Donald Trump to hire. I find out the worst enemy that I'm going to face in my life is right here in America. They took my assessment and they wanted me to change it. I was like, I'm not changing it. They had to get rid of Flint.
Starting point is 00:32:55 With in-depth interviews, archival footage, and never-before-seen personal record to the man behind the headlines. I just felt like I was drowning. Flynn, deliver the truth, whatever the cost. Available now. Watch it today. Go to SalemNow.com. Tatum now.com.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Folks, welcome back. We're talking to our friend Neil Mammon, M-A-M-M-M-E-N. He's behind no-blind faith.com. The book is Daily Apologetics for Kids. And we were talking about my churchfinder.org. Folks, I beg you, we need you to get involved. We need you to get involved. We need you to get your pastor to sign up.
Starting point is 00:33:45 We need you to go to letter to the American Church.com. All those church. churches should be signed up at my churchfinder.org. If you go to one of those churches or you know how to get in touch with one of those churches at letter to the American church.com, they're doing all the free screenings. There's hundreds. They need to be signed up at my churchfinder.org. And if you go to a good church that's in this fight, make sure that your pastor signs up at my church finder.org. This is a public service announcement, folks. You guys. got to get in this. You got to help spread the word everywhere I go, Neil, everywhere I go.
Starting point is 00:34:25 I was just at two prayer breakfast in Michigan. People say, I don't know where to go. I don't know how to find a good church. Ladies and gentlemen, my churchfinder.org. If you're going to a good church or know of a good church, get them to sign up at my church finder.org. It's exciting, Neil. I got to tell you, I still can't believe that Roger Ellswick and you have pulled this together. Well, it really is a labor of love because I think, you know, he realizes the importance of the churches. And you know, you're obviously clear. I mean, if we, you know, the 12,000 churches in Germany that didn't do anything that sat on the sideline, they're just as a complicit, you know, as the famous quotes as what is to be, you know, to speak is not to speak. Not to speak is to speak, right?
Starting point is 00:35:12 And if we aren't out there, and we are, as you said, giving money to a church that is one of those 12,000 churches, we're perpetuating the event. We're just allowing to continue. And how dare we think that God is not going to punish America for the same things that he punished Israel for? I mean, look through all the things that he punished Israel. It follows them out for what, violating people's rights, killing the innocent, sacrificing babies to mourn. Eminem domain. Remember when Ahab takes Navors land? It goes through all these civil issues and then all these moral issues. And here's what I think most pastors don't realize
Starting point is 00:35:54 is if you go back 100 years or 200 years, slavery was a moral issue. If you go back 40 years, homosexuality was a moral issue. If you go back 20 years, marriage was a moral issue. If you go back 10 years, transgenderism was a moral issue. Do you understand what's happening is they're taking all these moral issues and they're making them political issues? And the past is, well, I don't want to get involved politically. And I just want to preach the gospel. And so as I say in my book, I remember the book that we did the first time we met was Jesus is involved in politics.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Why aren't you? Why isn't my church? In that book, I note that, you know what, you can't say I just don't call to preach the gospel. here's why. Because the gospel was preached for 200 years in two of the most Christian nations in the entire world. That's the United States and Britain. And slavery still continued. It wasn't until a group of people in England, Thomas Clarkson, William Wolverford, under the tutelage of John Newton, you know, the pastor who wrote Amazing Grace, that they decided we've got to stop it. And it took them 40 years to stop it. And then that movement comes to America and it's still not happening. And so the American Christians form a new party
Starting point is 00:37:10 for the Republican Party to stop slavery. Now, we just sat around and said, well, you know, if God wants slavery to stop, he'll stop it. If God runs Jericho to fault, he'll make it fault. We don't need to march it around it. Our job is to do what he told us to do, and that's the take back to touch him.
Starting point is 00:37:28 And churches are the leaders of that. If they're not doing that, it's even. Amen, amen, amen. And again, you know, I speak all over the country and people come up to me in the book line and they say, well, I gave your book letter to the American church to my pastor. And I say, well, has he changed his tune? Well, no. Well, you know, we're working on him, whatever. I'm telling you, if your pastor is not in the fight, you're guilty.
Starting point is 00:38:03 You're guilty. if you're going to a church like that, if you're supporting that church, and people say, I don't know where to go. Well, first of all, you can go to mychurchfinder.org. You can check it out. You can go to letter to the American church.com. Letter to the Americanchurch.com. There's a list of churches doing free screenings.
Starting point is 00:38:22 95% of those are super solid churches, probably all of them. You need to get them to sign up at my churchfinder.org. But the idea that you're going to support some church, where they're going along with DEI garbage. A good friend of mine was just talking about, he goes to a church where, well, they preach the gospel, but they have like this new racial reconciliation class, which it's just the DEI cultural Marxist garbage in a church,
Starting point is 00:38:52 coming from a church. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm telling you, God is a judge. When people say to me, how did it happen in Germany? How did that happen? It happened exactly as it's happening now because of you, Christian, brother and sister, because you're not in the fight. This is serious. And listen, there's nothing more beautiful than answering God's call.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I don't know if we have to have house churches, but I'm telling you, you know, there's a lot of good stuff you can watch online and you can meet in a house church. But to go to a church and support a church, quote unquote church that is not in this, this is for all the most. marbles, and most people are still not awake, and they wonder how did it happen in Germany? It happened because of Christians like you and me, not stepping up in time. So, you know, honestly, Neil, it's just so, I'm so excited that you guys are doing my churchfinder. org. I'm thrilled. I want to add a couple more things that we're doing in Idaho.
Starting point is 00:39:52 So I had to escape to Idaho after I got blacklisted in Silicon Valley. And so we started something there called Place Pastas Legislative Advisory Council. And this, if you are to go there, if you hear this during the campaign season in Idaho, and you are to drive around the Treasure Valley area, you will see signs that say 70% of our elected Republicans vote like liberals. You need to know the difference. And that says Biblevoter.org. And it says approved by passers. 16 pastors are working with us to put out a voter guy to check on whether our legislators are really.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Republican, are really conservatives, are really biblical, or are they just lying and pretending to be Democrats in a red state? You can't win as a Democrat, so they run as Republicans. And these churches, these 16 churches are saying, we're going to distribute this voter guide, we're going to take back our nation, our capital, we're going to take back our county. And they are going to the pastor, to the legislators and saying, you know what, we're the moral authorities here, not you, we're the moral authorities. I love it. I love it. Folks, go to my churchfinder.org. get in this, get in the game, my churchfinder.org.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Neil Mammon, God bless you. The book is daily apologetics for kids and the website, no blind faith.com. Thank you. Before we go to our two, I want to remind you about a couple things. First of all, got to remind you again about CSI. We every day find out how many people have participated in this. And every one of you who has participated, I want to say, God bless you. Thank you very much. And thank you. Because we are literally freeing slaves. They're in the Sudan. It's hard to believe we can do this. I want to help you understand this is a very big deal that we get to do this. You know, usually when you spend money, you're not sure. What was the point of that? The point of this couldn't be more dramatic and clear. You're freeing slaves. If you go to our website, it's metaxis talk.com.
Starting point is 00:42:12 You'll see the banner. It's really vital that you participate. We need your help. They come to us because they know we have an audience that cares about this. If everybody would just do the smallest part, it really doesn't matter, but participation of any kind, please go to metaxis talk.com. We're going to keep hitting this because there's just nothing more and no more glorious an opportunity to do something beautiful. I want to remind you also of our friends at Americans for Prosperity. They bought the Bidonomics.com website. I just want to cue like a horse left.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Yeah, was that for sale? Bidonomics.com. So if you go to Bidinomics.com, you'll find out, oh, here's what Cookey Joe said. And it turns out that it's not true. It turns out that the Biden claims of the economy. Now, this is probably the only thing they've ever lied about. I want to be clear. But their economic claims are phony.
Starting point is 00:43:15 And if you want the truth, you go to bidanomics.com. It's pretty cool. If you go there, there's a really well-designed. It's kind of a visual snapshot of all the categories that, you know, are suffering in the economy. And it lays it out in a very sort of user-friendly, easy-to-digest way. So it's, they did a good job with that. And they're doing a thing this summer called Prosperity as Possible,
Starting point is 00:43:38 so they've got buses and vans covering the country that talk about prosperity as possible. I look, I think most Americans understand things are a mess, and Bidonomics.com will show you specifically how much of a mess. Also, I want to remind you, our friend Jason Jones has a book out called The Great Campaign Against the Great Reset, Available Everywhere. it lays out the campaign really of the globalist maniacs who are trying to destroy the world. And I actually believe that the Biden, you know, when we're talking about Bidenomics, that they are in part trying to drive us to socialism.
Starting point is 00:44:18 So they kind of know that they're hurting our economy, but they just talk this good game like pretending like, you know, we're not supposed to notice. But most Americans notice. And it's part of the Great Reset, the so-called, called Great Reset, really to destroy the Western powers and to create this globalist secular caliphate. That's pretty much what it is. So Jason Jones has written a book called The Great Campaign Against the Great Reset. And he talks about the details of what is the Great
Starting point is 00:44:49 Reset because it's evil, but you need to know specifically what it is. And then what we can do about it, the Great Campaign Against the Great Reset. Okay, before we go to our break, got to mention, we're doing Socrates in Oxford this July 9th through 12th. Actually, I am very excited. I don't get excited about much. I'm excited about this. I'm very excited about this. If you want to go to Oxford, England, it's gorgeous, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:45:16 I've got so many guests. We haven't finalized the whole list. But at the website, if you go to Socrates in the city, you can already see who we've booked. But we're working on others. There's going to be a tour of C.S. Lewis's home. A tour of the Ashmolean. museum. We're doing it at the Randolph Hotel. I mean, it's heavenly. You go to the website, Socrates in the city, and you can check it out. And I should say next week, we have a Socrates event right here
Starting point is 00:45:41 in New York City. If you can come, come. If you can't come, you can watch it live. But you have to be a member of Socrates Plus. So go to Socratesin the city.com. Sign up. All right. We'll be right back.
