Summary
Is the greatest danger to Western civilization the hostility of the world, or the forgetfulness of the Church? Many Christians don't realize that the same evils that haunted our Christian forefathers still exist today--abortion and sexual sin. Seth Gruber, founder of The White Rose Resistance, is a leading voice in the pro-life movement and joins Frank to expose the chilling realities of America’s obsession with its false idols, while urging the Church to rise and lead the charge on the front lines of our cultural war through his new project, 'The Last Stand'.
Join Seth and Frank as they ignite the airwaves with their "blowtorch of truth" and answer questions like:
- Why does Seth say that this is a "Last Stand" moment for the West?
- When and why did the term "Christendom" turn into "Western Civilization"?
- What behavior lead to civilizational suicide 100% of the time in 86 countries that were studied over the course of 5000 years?
- What two things does a civilization need in order to thrive long-term?
- What four things happened in 1973 to make it a major turning point for America's moral decline?
- What famous church father gave infants and babies legal protection for the first time in history?
- What are some of the accomplishments that Christians have been able to do culturally and politically?
- What is the biblical significance of Seth's advice to "remember the signs"?
- How is abortion "the demonic parody of the Eucharist?"
- Is the West standing on the precipice of destruction? What are Christians supposed to do now?
Our Christian forefathers did not surrender or negotiate with darkness, they exposed it, confronted it, and drove it back with truth. Now it is our time.

| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, about a century ago, an Oxford anthropologist by the name of J.D. Unwin |
| 0:10.4 | did research on 86 civilizations and found that one thing consistently led to their downfall. |
| 0:22.0 | And we're going to talk about that today and what we can do about it with my guest, |
| 0:27.2 | the great Seth Gruber, who is coming to us right now from an unknown location that he can't tell us about. |
| 0:42.2 | Seth, from the White Rose Resistance, |
| 0:46.0 | you are in an undisclosed location right now, and you have some tremendous insights to share with us |
| 0:49.8 | because you have a new movie coming out, |
| 0:54.0 | and you have a conference that's going to happen in Denver in a couple of weeks. |
| 0:58.7 | And we want to tell everybody about all those things, including what the anthropologist J.D. Unwin found. |
| 1:06.3 | Let's start right there. |
| 1:08.0 | I know you can't disclose where you are. |
| 1:10.5 | But tell us what the anthropologist |
| 1:14.1 | J.D. Unwin discovered about a century ago, about civilizations. Yeah, amen. We're in a season of the |
| 1:22.3 | last stand, Frank, and what I mean is for the West. Okay. Now, listen, regardless of your eschatology, we as brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to |
| 1:30.7 | be able to stay together. |
| 1:31.6 | Christ is on the throne. |
| 1:33.1 | He's ruling and reigning right now. |
| 1:35.0 | He's putting his enemies under his feet right now. |
| 1:37.8 | And we're welcomed into what, Frank, extending his dominion, his authority to all of the shadow lands. Yes, that's a |
| 1:45.9 | reference to the Lion King, the best Disney movie ever. And if you disagree, you're not a Christian. |
| 1:50.1 | Just kidding. But we should be able to say that as Christians, regardless of our theological |
| 1:54.7 | disputes. Okay. Amen. He wins. We all win. Okay. But for the sake of my children, for the sake of the babies, for the sake of the family, I think it's a good thing to try to save Western civilization, which, by the way, Frank, let me say this. |
