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.

Eric Metaxas is an author, speaker, and host of The Eric Metaxas Show. He believes America cannot move forward unless we remember where we came from.
In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with Eric to talk about the American Revolution, the Christian foundation of our country, the courage of our Founding Fathers, and why the story of America is not just for history books, it’s vital knowledge for every American.
So why does it seem the core of our history has been rewritten?
Eric breaks down why the views of the current political landscape are not what this country was founded on, why virtue and faith were essential to the founding, and why this moment in America requires courage, conviction, and a willingness to fight for what is true.

Veteran Recon Marine Cody Cohen’s story is built on service, pressure, and purpose.
Cody shares what it took to step into one of the most demanding communities in the Marine Corps, the mindset that was forged through training and combat, and how those lessons carried into every chapter of his life that followed.
After his time in the Marines, Cody continued serving through law enforcement before eventually coming to a crossroads that had him taking a stand for freedom amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. He then stepped into his role with Genesis Arms, where he now helps bring the GEN-12 platform to military, law enforcement, and home defense users.
This conversation goes beyond weapons and gear.
It’s about discipline, resilience, responsibility, and the kind of men who are willing to make hard decisions when others won’t.
