Politics in the Pulpit · Let's Ask the Mamas!

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We got a question in for our American mamas. Dear mamas,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: should preachers get involved in politics or stay separate from
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the pulpit? Well, let's ask our American mamas. And joining
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: us now, our American mama, Terry Nenerville. So there's a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: pastor that he shows up on my feeds all the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: time out of Dallas, Josh Howerton. He has been talking
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: about how, look, at this point, you really do have
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to get involved with politics, that you can't not get
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: involved with politics from the pulpit because there's one party
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that just does things that's completely opposite of what the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Bible's teaching, right?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That same preacher that you're talking about, Josh. Yeah,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: he said, if godly people do not step forward to
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: influence the trajectory of the nation, godless people will, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: they are.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I think these midterms are without a doubt the most
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: important of our lifetime. I do not usually get serious
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: when it comes to things like this, but I think
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: that we are in some sort of spiritual warfare right
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying it's Democrat versus Republican. I'm saying
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: this is it is Christianity against communism.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: We have got to go back to the word of God,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to the Bible. And allow that to be our voice.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Allow that to be what makes us. You can be
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: a conservative Christian or a Christian conservative, but whatever comes
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: above the other is the most important. So if you're
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: a Christian conservative and maybe this doesn't align with you,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I don't think he's, he doesn't have
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the greatest personality. But if the Christian values align, you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: have to vote for that candidate. Because we are, right now,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: if you look at Houston, they have, did you see that?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: They have people who not only are Muslim and they
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: believe in communism, but they believe in Sharia law. And
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that community has taken over the East. It's taken over
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: most of Europe. They are coming to America. And if
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you think that they are not planning on taking us
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: over and us going along with Sharia law, Remember that
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: 25 years ago, the Twin Towers were taken out by
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: that group, and now the mayor of that city is Muslim.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: You do have several communities. Dearborn, Michigan, we're at a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: city hall meeting. A Muslim member of the city council
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was telling people who were Jewish they're not welcome in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the city. You've got various jurisdictions throughout Texas where they're
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: dealing with trying to set up Sharia law in their communities,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and they're having to fight back against that. Dallas is
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: one of them.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: There's a thing that you actually are the one who
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: told me about this. These candidates that are of the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood, they say they're not.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: El-Sayed, yeah, he said he was not of the Muslim Brotherhood.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: His sister says they've got family connections to the Muslim
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Brotherhood and that their mother served in the Muslim Brotherhood
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: in Egypt.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: But what you said is that they have a thing
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: called taqiyya.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Where they are allowed to lie to the constituents to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: further their cause.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Let's say that you ask this candidate who is, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: he's for communism, socialism, and he hates, you know, he
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: hates the right. He hates conservatives. Right. And you say,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I want you to denounce this. I want you to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: say that you are against this lifestyle.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And they do it. They say, I denounce that. That
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: is not what I believe. In their faith, that is Takiyah.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: They do believe that because time and time again... They
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: get into office and all the things that they promised
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: that they would never do, they vote for, they push.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: It is very scary. I don't know what's happening right now,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: but I listen to, there are a lot of podcasts
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: that I listen to throughout the day. A lot of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: black men, strong black men, a lot of black preachers
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: now are coming out and they are imploring us. imploring
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: us to be brave, be courageous, and not fall for
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: this time and time again.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: One of the things that we get lost when we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: don't understand American history is the Great Awakening. There's a film,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's coming out later on this year, or
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: maybe it's already come out, but it's about this. But
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it was in the 1740s. So we had the American
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Revolution in the 1770s, right? In the 1740s, there was
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a religious revival within the colonies that led by George Whitefield,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: who ended up being a friend of Benjamin Franklin. But
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it was promoting Christianity. It was promoting a revival of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: getting back to the spirit for the colonists. And that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: laid the foundation of the revolution itself, of the founding
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of our country. The people who were signing the Declaration
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of Independence had either heard George Whitefield speak or had
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: read his sermons. And he was a pastor. That was
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: influencing the politics that created the country.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And that was back in the 1700s.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: That was back in the 1740s.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And you're a Bible scholar, so is it true that
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Abraham had Isaac and Ishmael, that those brothers who were
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: like this? Now, in today's time, you've got this crew.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: The Muslims claim heritage of Ishmael. There's no historical evidence
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to prove it's true, but they claim it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if that's true or not.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: And then Christianity, the Christians claim that Isaac.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Christians and Jews go from Isaac. Okay, interesting. Well, if
