Transcript
- 0:00Hi friends Franklin Graham recently stated according to court documents
- 0:05Tyler Robinson's parents said that they asked their son why he shot and murdered Charlie Kirk to which he replied
- 0:12There's too much evil and the guy spreads too much hate and quote
- 0:17Well, the Bible tells us woe to those who call evil good and good evil Isaiah 5.20
- 0:22Jesus himself calls Satan a murderer from the beginning and the father of lies
- 0:27We live in a world that is warped by sin and so
- 0:31Lots of people are deceived. Let me be clear speaking what the Bible says is not
- 0:37Hate Charlie Kirk wasn't hating anyone when he answered question after question on campuses and he spoke the truth from the word of God
- 0:46Life altering soul-saving truth that hasn't changed since the beginning of time
- 0:52Who spewed hate the shooter all Charlie Kirk did was love his Lord Jesus Christ and love young people enough to give them the truth
- 1:00Even about hard subjects gender marriage abortion and much more
- 1:05Today's guest is today's guest is one of the pastors who discipled Charlie Kirk and he's calling true believers in Christ to take a bold
- 1:14Stand here to discuss recent events and his brand new book is pastor Jack Hibbs. That's next
- 1:23Welcome to world view matters discussing controversial issues
- 1:28discerning current events
- 1:31Defending biblical Christianity
- 1:33No topic off limits and now here's your host David Fierasow
- 1:40Well, buddy of Christ friends family. Thanks for watching listening and sharing and my producer just told me that thanks to you
- 1:47We've just broken into the top 40 Christian podcasts on Apple recently after 400 episodes
- 1:53We are so blessed to keep on going and we couldn't have done this without your prayers and support
- 1:57So thank you now pastor Jack Hibbs out in Chino, California
- 2:01And he's been all over the media talking about this why because he is one of those true men of God
- 2:07It's been speaking the truth for years and he helped to disciple Charlie Kirk pastor Jack
- 2:12Welcome back excited and congrats about your new book
- 2:16David, thank you for having me and I'm sure we'll talk about the book because I think it needs some explaining for sure
- 2:22Yeah, let's bring it up and the timing this is incredible
- 2:25You told me you wrote it like a year or eight months ago, but it's called called to take a bold stand
- 2:32Resilient and effective faith for a godless age
- 2:36So before I get into some good news headlines here about turning point USA pastor Jack
- 2:42Godless age the spiritual battle and that warfare has
- 2:47Manifested now in the natural realm. We are seeing evil. How do Christians respond your book is timely give us a brief rundown of it
- 2:55Yeah, David. Thank you so much. First of all, everybody
- 2:57You need to know that it was written eight months ago not eight minutes ago by AI
- 3:02Which I love I would love what David is saying is and and that is God has
- 3:08has preempted this truth that's in the book
- 3:11In light of the world that we're in right now David. It seems amazing to me that in the last several months
- 3:16There's been this incredible exponential explosion of violence and
- 3:22Manifestation of hate in America and so you've got this you've got this a
- 3:26Assassin I'm gonna call him for what he is an assassin who justified his actions by saying
- 3:33Charlie Kirk spews hate so I am going to take him out
- 3:38Now you think about that the only way that that would be rational to any mindset outside the the theater of war
- 3:45Would be a mind that is completely gone off the rails in believing that that person that this young man was
- 3:54The the the the judge the jury
- 3:57All of it wrapped up in one thing that he is going to execute some form of justice in his mind
- 4:04That it warrants taking out a voice
- 4:08That was not a political voice if you think about it Charlie's Charlie in his early careers a young as a young man started very political
- 4:16But over the last four years Charlie became increasingly more and more biblically rooted and grounded and he spoke more of
- 4:24The Christian faith and what the Bible has to say
- 4:27Really then politics he wanted to apply to spate the politics because why he grew up spiritually
- 4:33To the man that that he was on the day that he was shot that said
- 4:38Charlie I believe was certainly the first
- 4:42Evangelical martyr
- 4:44on American soil perhaps in our nation's history
- 4:47Hmm, and it was sobering for a lot of us
- 4:50We've been through all the emotions friends. We are recording this podcast just about a week after the assassination
- 4:56And I want to just bring up your website before we forget bold stand dot org jack hyb is dot com
- 5:03Of course, that's the one you're seeing now, but the book has its own site bold stand dot org
- 5:09So past to jack I want to talk to you about the discipleship of Charlie Kirk in a minute and
- 5:14Frank Turek was going to be on with me today and we had to reschedule him and he's got a story
- 5:19He put that out on cross-examined and he's got an amazing
- 5:23He was there standing just close to Charlie when he was assassinated, but good news already now
- 5:29This is probably surpassed five million, but they've already raised five million dollars for the family Charlie Kirk's family
- 5:36Following the assassination now this was like last last week
- 5:40So turning point USA and here's even better news and we're seeing God move friends
- 5:45We didn't have this in sight, but God knew
- 5:48Well over 55,000 requests for new chapters in high school and college from students across the country over
- 5:5855,000 turning point USA chapter requests and then I've got a little bit more info here that
- 6:05Let's see chapter requests also
- 6:08They're going to increase turning point USA's presence on campus by over 20 fold and that's going to I believe even increase even more
- 6:16They surged 455% following Erica Kirk's first public remarks Jack your thought on this move and God doing something that
- 6:27We couldn't do with mandates impossible, but with God all things are possible. Go ahead
- 6:33Yeah, David perfectly perfectly said quickly immediately after Charlie's assassination
- 6:39Those of us who knew Charlie
- 6:41Realized quickly that what was unfolding and what continues to unfold is beyond Charlie
- 6:47It's it's beyond him. This is not the success of TP USA
- 6:51This is not the success of Charlie Kirk
- 6:53This is now unexplainable and I love what Dr. Warren Wearsby says
- 6:58He says if you can describe and define what's going on in your church or in your life as a believer then God's not the one doing it
- 7:06In other words, if God is moving you're not going to be able to figure this out and right now all around the world David
- 7:14How you can't explain this when people go on their
- 7:17Telegram or their Instagram or TikTok account and they say hey, I heard about this guy in America his name's Charlie
- 7:23He got shot and I looked at what he said I heard about it
- 7:27I wouldn't bought a Bible and I'm going to go to church next Sunday
- 7:31Folks that makes no sense it makes no sense white God is doing something that is bigger
- 7:37Look, we we knew Charlie well. I knew he was famous, but I had no idea
- 7:42That he had a global impact and the reality is this Charlie didn't have a global impact
- 7:48It's the message that Charlie proclaimed. Yes, that has a global impact
- 7:53Charlie doesn't have the power. He didn't have the power
- 7:55It's the power of the word of God the Holy Spirit has taken as it were a little
- 8:01Loves of bread and a little bit of fish and has just absolutely turbocharged
- 8:07This effect and we could very well see David
- 8:12What may very well be I hope and pray is a revival among God's people yes
- 8:18And an awakening among the lost that's very important. We remember that a
- 8:23Revival is the church being revived back to life and an awakening is when the lost get saved
- 8:31And so let's pray that that happens. Amen. I we're seeing that we you know
- 8:35We've been praying some of us for revival for a long time being skeptical. I'm being honest
- 8:40And then I'm seeing what's happening after the movie about Chuck Smith and you know
- 8:45Yeah, I'm with a baptizing of in the ocean out there and then I'm then this happened with Charlie Kirk
- 8:50And you're going well God. I didn't think it was going to happen this way
- 8:53So let's just watch and pray friends and be active and this is interesting Jack
- 8:57I know you didn't plan this, but I'm going to read a description from your book
- 9:01And in light of Charlie Kirk friends listen to this it says
- 9:05This book called to take a bold stand is for anyone who knows in their spirit that now is the time to stand
- 9:13Not with arrogance or anger, but with confidence clarity and the courage that only comes from knowing who you are in Christ
- 9:20And what he is called you to do
- 9:24Jack hybbs excellent timing. It's God's timing right tell us more
- 9:28Yeah, it's 100% God's timing and this is kind of fun David because I didn't plan on this, but
- 9:35The previous book was was tighter living in the days of deception
- 9:40And that God blessed that book and it did very well and so people you know
- 9:44Okay, so you're telling me that we're living in the days of deception now. What do I do?
- 9:49Well, you stand now having a bold faith. That's what you do
- 9:53And so it's kind of like a partner type book or a series
- 9:57Where deception is everywhere
- 10:00So how do I make sure that I'm not deceived well, you got to know the word of God
- 10:04That's your insurance against deception and now that I know the word of God David
- 10:08You know this well that once you take in the word of God
- 10:12It percolates within you. It's it's it's not it's not passive
- 10:17It's not neutral. It's active and the Bible begins to percolate within you until it begins to come out of you
- 10:24And what happens when it comes out of you
- 10:26You begin to engage the culture and that's where the truth that you know
- 10:31Is empowered by the Holy Spirit who gave it to use you as an instrument exactly like he did with Charlie
- 10:38Charlie was wonderfully yielded
- 10:41To whatever God wanted him to do and he enjoyed every minute of it. Amen
- 10:47Let's honor him
- 10:48Now, you know
- 10:49Some might say in fact I've heard this Jack someone says well, you're idolizing this man
- 10:54Okay, he was an example of Christ not perfect like you and I but he was an example and he did think I
- 11:01Honestly did not have that kind of patience or respect like the Bible encourages to always be ready to give an answer
- 11:08But do it with kindness and respect to those who ask you a reason to give a reason for the hope that's in you
- 11:13I'm learning and I think a lot of young people a lot of young Christians can learn from Charlie's example
- 11:19Pastor Jack, I want to talk about the red brick
- 11:22That we see in our media and maybe some leftist leaders maybe the education system. We're very disappointed in the media
- 11:31Very disappointed and this is the culture now. I don't see much accountability
- 11:36I don't know that it's going to change they say oh yeah, there's this this red brick on both sides
- 11:42And I'm tired of that, but I want to ask you about the Southern Poverty Law Center
- 11:47I know turning point USA was on there. They have a hate map
- 11:50um
- 11:51Family research center had a gunman going in there almost 10 years ago to shoot that I mean this is
- 11:56Irresponsible who's going to hold people accountable. There's the map right there. Are do you happen to be on their list as well, Pastor Jack?
- 12:05Yeah, I'm honored to be on their list. I am a I am a danger apparently to the culture and to the nation
- 12:12So look if you can get your name on the Southern Poverty Law Center hate list that they've created
- 12:17As and you know in their mind they're doing good by saying hey these people don't agree with us
- 12:23And so you must hate them. I mean these guys should be held liable for what they put out
- 12:27But you know you rightly thank you david by the way most people only remember
- 12:32That after the influence of
- 12:35The Southern Poverty Law Center on the Family Research Council
- 12:40That individual went and disguised himself as one who's bringing in a food delivery from Chick-fil-A
- 12:47And it was proved in the court of law that he was going to assassinate Tony Perkins General Jerry Boykin
- 12:53and the entire staff and
- 12:56I happen to know the man that he did shoot
- 12:59Thank God he recovered
- 13:01But it's remarkable where the the extreme leftist
- 13:06They get to do violence, but they've justified it in their mind as some sort of instrument of justice in their mind
- 13:15where
- 13:17Charlie Kirk for example all around the world throughout the United States certainly
- 13:23How many how many cars david how many police cars caught fire after Charlie was assassinated how many cities burned down
- 13:31How many people were were bricks were thrown at their faces and
- 13:36You know what I'm you know what I'm saying there was nothing but prayer vigils and worship services
- 13:42It's a world view different world view all right different reaction different world view
- 13:47yeah
- 13:49From now this is a question I had planned to ask you and it's in light of the assassination of very interesting
- 13:55So pastor jack regarding your book from your vantage point what are the most pressing cultural or moral threats
- 14:03Facing society and how does biblical boldness counteract them
- 14:08Well, the number one thing is what Charlie always said and it's of course, it's a biblical argument and that is we need to talk to people
- 14:16We need to get people to consider their position to find out is their position viable is it true
- 14:23What comes out of their world view
- 14:25So if you are if you have a world view that
- 14:28Ascribes to the culture of death
- 14:31Then there's no hope and instead of beating somebody up like that. We don't do that
- 14:35But what we do is we need to ask them we can you follow this through in your logic and your thinking how does this plain land
- 14:43That said we also need to realize this david for decades
- 14:48We have set kids down in the public school system
- 14:51And we've told them that they're evolutionary byproducts of gigantic series of accidents
- 14:56Yes, and they they have evolved and they're nothing more than an animal
- 15:00They're just the exact same thing as a whale or as a monkey or as a dog
- 15:05And you just happen to be at the top of the apex of that food chain
- 15:10And then when they go out and kill people we get all upset and and wonder why they're not acting like angels
- 15:16Because we've told them for decades you are an evolutionary byproduct and you are accountable to nobody
- 15:24And so when they go act like it
- 15:27We have the audacity to just say how could this happen
- 15:30How could this possibly be happening in America? Are you kidding me?
- 15:34For 60 years we've been telling
- 15:36Kids
- 15:37That you're nothing more than an animal so go eat drink and be merry for who knows tomorrow you could die
- 15:43So live it up because uh, it's the survival of the fittest
- 15:47Listen knowingly or unknowingly
- 15:49It's a world view and it sinks in and it sets a foundation for a series of actions
- 15:55Exactly like we saw in the life of this assassin just recently
- 15:59It is a world to them this life as all there is
- 16:02I mean how hopeless is that how random they think this life is random, but I want to quote Charlie Kirk
- 16:08Who said when people stop talking you get violence?
- 16:11That's when civil war happens because you start to think that the other side is so evil
- 16:16And they lose their humanity and that's what they've been trying to do to the right for a long time dehumanize
- 16:21Target the the object and the Christian are conservative trump
- 16:25They've been doing that if you hear fascist and Christian nationalist and and you know, you know
- 16:31Tyrant or tyranny and all these other things authoritarian for year after year after the media
- 16:36They're beating that drum
- 16:37Well, there are some who are gonna take those words and get angry and then they're gonna have to do something about it thinking they're doing
- 16:44A greater good for the country, right?
- 16:47Oh, so right david and you know listen words concepts ideas spoken
- 16:53They have consequences good better ugly they have consequences
- 16:57And so when people are saying things like and look at the fallout of you know since Charlie's assassination
- 17:03There are there are students on university campuses. I'm gonna call them children on university campuses
- 17:09That are actually reenacting Charlie Kirk's assassination and they're laughing about it
- 17:13So how did we get there because I in some ways in some ways to the to the point I made earlier about
- 17:20The fact that we're just animals is that we have learned to view our world around us kind of like you and I
- 17:26God forbid david you and I going on vacation and we view our our two-week vacation through the the camera of the of the video
- 17:35Right and we're gonna capture our vacation and then you realize flying back home. Where did we go?
- 17:41What did we do? I didn't see that happen because you viewed the whole thing through a lens
- 17:46And you didn't get the peace you didn't get the rest
- 17:49We have people today that are viewing life
- 17:52Through the what I what I put what I say is the the the synthetic effect
- 17:57They're looking at people on a on a public transportation in Charlotte
- 18:01Yeah, and a woman has stabbed the death in the neck
- 18:04And they have their their phones and they're viewing reality through a synthetic screen which communicates to their mind
- 18:10This is no different than the video game. I just played and there is this profound disconnect
- 18:16That if we don't change
- 18:18This
- 18:19You cannot interpret it any other way then the judgment of God upon a Christ rejecting nation
- 18:26This is indicative of that and we need to take some responsibilities and we got to turn around
- 18:32But you know the moment I offer up the cure david
- 18:35I'm going to be shouted down and my life is going to be threatened, but the cure is
- 18:39Jesus Christ his gospel. He'll love you. He loves you. He'll forgive you come to him
- 18:45Bring your life to him and tell him I've sinned. I've had lustful thoughts or angry thoughts or murderous thoughts
- 18:51And I don't want to live like this and I want you to change my heart God and he'll do it
- 18:57But you see the moment I say that david to a reprobate culture
- 19:01To a culture that is now given over to it's
- 19:04What I would say doctrines of demons and evil spirit influence is that
- 19:09I'm the one that's bad
- 19:11They're the one that's good and so I must be silenced because I'm speaking truth
- 19:17And yet they have no stomach for truth. God has given them over to a reprobate mind romance chapter one says
- 19:23Truth is hate to those who hate the truth and Jesus is the truth
- 19:27He is the way the truth in the life no one comes to the father except through him
- 19:30So how do we respond Nancy Pelosi said she cannot we
- 19:34Meaning those on the left that are saying that we are a threat to democracy. Charlie Kirk
- 19:39Omega Trump you me
- 19:41We cannot take responsibility for saying something that leads to something dangerous
- 19:47This so there's my point about the rhetoric pastor jack. How do we respond to that knowing that the media will probably continue to use this language
- 19:54I'm guessing maybe they took a break for a week
- 19:57But they'll be right back at it on the communist news network and
- 20:00MSNBC and all the others and New York Times they just despicable
- 20:05So they're not going to take responsibility apparently what's the solution to that what can we do
- 20:10Well, first of all we need to conduct ourselves with some discernment and wisdom
- 20:14I heard I heard that same state by Nancy Pelosi
- 20:18Nancy Pelosi
- 20:20We could go on all day about the corruption of her life both public and private
- 20:25Nancy Pelosi has spouted it off as so many others
- 20:29About Joe Biden included somebody needs to put a target on Trump Joe Biden said that
- 20:37Why is any in trouble for this?
- 20:39Because listen
- 20:41It's what they set up as their standards is their worldview and they get to say it
- 20:47But what we say about truth
- 20:49That is absolutely to be resisted
- 20:52We've got a massive collision of two worldviews one is about life one is about death one is about lies
- 20:59The other one is about truth and I would say do all of your viewers you've got to make a choice
- 21:05You've got to pick aside. Yes, you cannot be neutral. You cannot be neutral. You cannot
- 21:10You cannot act like this is not happening
- 21:13It's happening
- 21:14And you know by the way Nancy Nancy Pelosi will never listen carefully judge me on this judge me on this
- 21:21Nancy Pelosi will only say the word democracy
- 21:26She will never say the word republic. We do not live in a democracy
- 21:30We live in a republic
- 21:33But the Democrat party and the woke leftist they keep hammering down on the word democracy because it serves those
- 21:39It's a vegetarian plan where a few will rule the many
- 21:45But a republic is simply put we the people and a rep
- 21:50Ben Franklin when asked what kind of government have you given us Ben Franklin said a republic if you can keep it David
- 21:58We if we have failed thus far to keep it
- 22:02So let me follow up on something you said then to believers that
- 22:06You have it we have a choice to make and I was talking I think to Chris one of your assistants there
- 22:11Maybe before the podcast but the emotion since the assassination of Charlie Kirk
- 22:16grief anger sadness heaviness resolve then I felt like my faith is united and I want to be about God's business a sense of urgency
- 22:24And that's kind of where it's at right now. So we're not going to back down
- 22:27But there are some who are saying well
- 22:30taking a bold stand pastor jack is gonna
- 22:33Possibly bring more persecution. What do you say to someone who would mention that?
- 22:39Yes, it is
- 22:41It is going to
- 22:43Because here's the bottom line didn't Jesus say that was going to happen
- 22:46Jesus said don't be alarmed yeah, don't be alarmed if the world hates you because they hated me first if they hated me
- 22:52They're going to hate you. So here's the thing
- 22:55Charlie Kirk, please please everyone
- 22:58Charlie Kirk like many have gone before him
- 23:01Think of those by the way of Normandy Omaha Beach Utah Beach World War two
- 23:08War war one
- 23:09Think about Afghanistan Iraq all those think about all this think about our police officers
- 23:15That go into the streets every day
- 23:17They're willing to lay down their lives because they believe something is bigger than them something's more important than them
- 23:23Charlie got up that day
- 23:25And he flew to
- 23:28Orham Utah Provo
- 23:30He was so excited and so delighted
- 23:33In fact when he got out of the airplane he said this is going to be a great day
- 23:39Charlie goes and does exactly what Charlie loved it to do he was serving God and in doing so speaking truth
- 23:46It cost him his life, but wait a minute. Did it? Did it actually cost him his life?
- 23:51Charlie Kirk is more alive today than he ever has been
- 23:54Praise God. Everything is this Charlie Kirk
- 23:57He couldn't have picked a better way to go from this world into the next doing exactly what he was called to do
- 24:04Listen, we should all be so blessed
- 24:08Every single one of us the Bible tells us has been given a day or a year is by which we live given to us by God
- 24:15And only God knows the day that you and I will die
- 24:18You're not going to die an hour too soon. You're not going to die an hour too late
- 24:22That was the day that God had prescribed for Charlie
- 24:25I'm just so grateful to God that Charlie went into glory that way
- 24:31He could have died in secrecy. He could have died
- 24:35Connected to a cancer unit. He could have died
- 24:40Mud right in Phoenix in the middle of the night. No on the entire world
- 24:47And the young people of the world saw Charlie Kirk die for what he believed when he preached what he did when he said
- 24:55All the way to the end he died for that and young people are looking at that and they're saying wait a minute
- 25:01There's purpose in this you mean I can have something in my life that's worth my life
- 25:06That's what I want to do. I want to live for a cause greater than me and that's what Jesus offers
- 25:12A life that is not only worth living now, but Jesus said if you die believing in me
- 25:18Yet shall you live?
- 25:20Think about that Charlie Kirk never sees he never stopped living
- 25:24He just went from this world of consciousness into the consciousness of Jesus Christ. It's called heaven
- 25:30And the God wants you to be there with him. That's why Jesus is the way the truth in the life
- 25:34He goes to the cross for our sins
- 25:36Rose again from the dead to guarantee you and I a seat in heaven if
- 25:42If you'll accept his free offer of eternal life by giving him your sins
- 25:47He will give you his righteousness best deal going David. Amen anyone will ever find yeah friends read first Corinthians 15 again when you get a chance
- 25:57And just that's a good point pastor jack absent from the body present with the Lord
- 26:03I hope well
- 26:05He's got a plan for each one of us now. What are we going to do? So in the last minute and a half here
- 26:10What does the average Christian? What does this look like for the average Christian that doesn't want to be apathetic doesn't want to be neutral
- 26:17That really wants to take a bold stand is it getting equipped? Is it finding a new or better church?
- 26:23I know you could spend 10 minutes on that, but go ahead
- 26:26Yes, maybe all of the above
