Today we're joined by frontman of the band Skillet, John Cooper, to discuss his book, "Wimpy, Weak & Woke: How Truth Can Save America from Utopian Destruction," the bogeyman of "Christian nationalism" that the Left continues to perpetuate, and how we as believers should approach the war against true Christianity and the West. We start off with a look at the Christian leaders who led people astray during COVID lockdowns and BLM and the destruction that critical theory has wrought on Christianity as a whole. We talk about the anti-Christian and anti-Western movement and discuss why progressive Christians who claim to have the right intentions but disregard outcomes aren't actually being loving at all. Then, we look at the upcoming documentary on Christian nationalism featuring Russell Moore and David French and why the implications the film seems to make about conservative Christians are not only misguided but dangerous. We also talk about how the progressive view of "Utopia" is actually the opposite of the kingdom of heaven.
