Show Notes
America's pastors have retreated from politics — and the wolves walked right in. In this monologue, Jeremy Boreing makes the case that the collapse of the American church, from the seeker-sensitive movement to the silence on porn, gambling, and feminine sin, is why the culture is coming apart.

Young men chant for Andrew Tate outside a jail. Four hundred women in pink rally for a mother who strangled her three children. Charlie Kirk stood in the public square doing the watchman's work in a country with a church on every corner — and was killed doing it. What were the pastors doing?
Jeremy traces the rot back to its source: George Whitefield and the Great Awakening, Bill Hybels and Willow Creek's "unchurched Harry," the 2007 REVEAL study that proved the model failed, and the audience capture that turned pulpits into comment sections. Then he takes on the other error — Christian nationalism, integralism, Adrian Vermeule, Stephen Wolfe, and "measured theocratic Caesarism" — and argues the Constitution didn't fail us. We failed it.
The alternative is neither retreat nor theocracy: a church courageous enough to make Christians, Christians courageous enough to govern themselves, and citizens courageous enough to govern their country.
