Dr. Johnny Hunter welcomes Pastor Rusty Thomas for a candid conversation on constitutional liberty, media narratives, and the church’s response to cultural threats.
After quick headlines (Turning Point USA, court fights over redistricting), the episode dives into lessons from Ruby Ridge and Waco/Branch Davidians, contrasting the media’s story with on-the-ground accounts.
The second half examines reports of a proposed “Sharia/Epic City/The Meadows” development in Texas, broader concerns about Sharia law and Marxism as competing ideologies, and why Rusty believes they’re incompatible with America’s creed.
The show closes with a pastoral call to courage: don’t fear—trust Christ, contend for truth, and live the gospel publicly.
