The American church has stayed quiet for too long, and Pastor Allen Jackson believes the country is paying the price. In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with Pastor Jackson for a blunt conversation about churches avoiding so-called “political” issues, backing away from culture, and why biblical truth has been treated like something too dangerous to say from the pulpit. Pastor Jackson goes straight at marriage, biological sex, education, public morality, faith in government, and the role Christians should play in their own communities. His message is simple: the church was never called to hide, play it safe, or surrender the culture without a fight. Key Topics: – Why “political issues” are often biblical issues – How silence weakened the church’s influence – Why pastors are afraid to speak clearly – The culture war inside schools and communities – Faith, freedom, Israel, and the future of America – Why Christians need to stop sitting on the sidelines This is not a polite conversation about staying “in the middle.” It is a challenge to the church to find its backbone again.
