Summary

Is America headed down a dark path similar to that of Nazi Germany? If history has shown us anything, it's that bad things happen when Christians don't collectively speak out against evil. The German Church of the 1930's is a great example of what NOT to do in a tumultuous time of political crisis, but has the American Church fallen into the same passive trap of doing nothing while evil slowly tightens its grip on our country?

The groundbreaking book 'Letter to the American Church' hopped off bookshelves across the country and has now become a brand-new documentary film serving as the final clarion call to sleeping Christians and conservatives. This week, the author of the best-selling book that inspired the film and popular radio host, Eric Metaxas, joins Frank to talk about the movie in detail and to expose the inevitable doom that awaits America if the Church doesn't wake up now! During the episode, Frank and Eric will answer questions like:

What are some of the similarities between 1930's Germany and the West today?
What mistakes did the Church in Germany make and what should Christians in America do differently?
Are patriotic Christians guilty of Christian Nationalism?
What should you do if your church isn't concerned about politics?
Why does Eric still maintain hope for America?

From open borders to trans ideology, mass abortions and critical race theory, there's more than enough issues that the Church MUST confront head-on while we still have the chance. As you'll hear during this episode, when people are doing evil, Christians are morally obligated to stand up just like Jesus did! How can you make a difference?
