Summary
In a speech that nearly didn't happen due to ANTIFA terrorists who wanted to hold the city of Seattle hostage in an effort to keep him out, Charlie joins pastor Alec Rowlands at Westgate Church in Edmonton to lay the groundwork for the next Great Awakening and explain why it is crucial, now more than ever, for the American Church to be involved in American life—namely politics & community-level decision making.

| 0:50.8 | here. And now I'd like us to get to our guest, the real reason that you're here tonight. |
