A profound spiritual awakening is sweeping across America in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Churches nationwide report their second-highest attendance of the year (surpassed only by Easter), as people who previously dismissed faith now actively seek answers and meaning. This catalytic moment feels reminiscent of Pearl Harbor – an event that transformed American isolationism into unified purpose and resolve.
The WallBuilders team explores this cultural shift with Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, who has introduced the "Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act" to codify biological definitions of sex in Title IX legislation. This bill aims to protect women's sports and spaces by establishing clear legal definitions that can't be manipulated through ideological reinterpretation. Miller expects unanimous Republican support, describing it as a "90-10 issue" with the American public despite media narratives suggesting otherwise.
At the heart of our current cultural confusion lies a fundamental spiritual problem – the removal of God from society has created what the late pastor Adrian Rogers described as "chaos," similar to removing instinct from a beehive. We've told generations of young Americans "they came from nowhere, they're here for no purpose, that they can define good and evil, they're heading to nothingness." Such nihilism inevitably produces the mental health crisis and social disorientation we now witness.
Yet hope abounds as Americans increasingly reject this empty worldview. Even individuals previously hostile to traditional values are reconsidering their positions. The Wall Builders hosts emphasize that churches addressing these cultural moments head-on are seeing growth and engagement, while those remaining silent risk irrelevance. This parallels patterns observed during COVID, where courageous leadership distinguished thriving faith communities from declining ones.
This pivotal cultural moment invites every American to find their voice. Whether with family, coworkers, church, or broader audiences, now is the time to speak truth and participate in spiritual and cultural renewal. As Miller powerfully states, "Instead of woke, we're awake" – and that awakening may prove to be the turning point America so desperately needs.
