Welcome to the show today. I am here with Pastor Gary Hammerick at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia.

Now listen, many of you wonderful friends and listeners to this podcast live more on the West Coast because that's where I've

been from and started my ministry. So you guys all know the name Pastor Jack Kibs. But if you're not on the East Coast, then you know,

what are you doing? Why don't you know the name Pastor Gary Hammerick? He's the Jack Kibs of Virginia. You should know that.

And so for that reason, of course, the Wokey Wokes and the federal government and the Democrats really don't like Pastor Gary because he does boldly

address the issues. We're in Loudon County, however. And you guys may remember a little story last year, a little story about this place called Loudon County with a

high school boy who said he was a girl and raped two girls. And then the entire activist media infrastructure tried to make excuses for this to cover it up. And to say this is this cannot be attributed in any way,

shape or form towards the policies that allowed him in the bathroom in the first place. And then Matt Walsh and Daily Wire got involved. And this church was really mobilized to start contending for righteousness as they had already

been doing in the public square with the school board. And they have been living out what it means to be salt and light. And so I'm here today sharing tonight on Wednesday, March 22nd as this recording.

But I just wanted you to be introduced if you don't know him already. I've just a wonderful brother. And I think an example who's leading the way in these out of control, culture of death,

culture wars, and how the bride of Christ should be leading the way out of this mess. Buckle up your infertile treat. I'm Seth Gruber and this is Unaborted.

Pastor Gary, brother, thank you. Wow. Good to be here with you.

Seth, thanks. It's a joy to have you with us. And just to clarify, it's not really West Coast and East Coast. It's left coast and right coast.

Oh, you know what? That phrase is pregnant with me. We could attack that for another day.

So I've had some great brothers come here. My buddy, Pastor John, I'm a Choukou. He's just a wonderful brother. And of course, Jack is a long time friend of yours as well.

I will always call him. I passed to Rob McCoy. And we moved recently, but that was our church. God speak to every chapel.

And so just wonderful people. And it's fun how, you know, when tyranny rises, circles get smaller.

And you start to really see like who's who in the zoo? And it kind of shows. I think it kind of shows people's actually like idols and their lines.

And how far they're willing to push before they get uncomfortable, where they have to start sacrificing certain liberties and comforts they've taken for granted.

And so I'm just grateful for you for kind of leading the way in this season. But for people who aren't familiar with you, Pastor Gary, who don't know who Pastor Gary Hammer is, just give us a little teaser on where you're from, how you came to Leesburg, Virginia, and how this church got planted.

So I'll give you the short version. So I've been Pastor in Cornerstone Chapel here for 31 years. We started it with just a handful of people, 18 charter members.

I was actually a youth pastor before starting Cornerstone. And I was born in DC. I was raised in Northern Virginia. So I'm a local kid.
