Sovereign Nations
Welcome to The Causes of Things, a podcast from Sovereign Nations. The 1st century BC poet Virgil stated, “Blessed is he who understands the hidden causes of things.” This statement is as brilliant today as it was 2,000 years ago.
Primarily narrated by Michael O'Fallon, The Causes of Things is didactic in nature featuring a collection of teaching series & lectures, some of which are recorded specifically for this podcast, and some that are from public lectures. The show will offer discussion and information concerning a variety of complex ideas: The philosophical presuppositions behind the ideas that are aggressively shaping our world, the answers to those challenging ideas, and the necessary historical, hierarchical structure of the world as represented through the lens of Judeo Christian belief.

The Strategic Deconstruction of Evangelical Christianity | Michael O’Fallon | CPAC 2019
At CPAC 2019, Sovereign Nations gathered speakers from various positions and backgrounds to address issues surrounding the postmodern deconstruction of the greater evangelical church.
First, Sovereign Nations’ Founder Michael O'Fallon addressed the “top-down, bottom-up, and inside-out” strategies used by those wanting to create civilizational and societal change. Mr. O’Fallon explained the “top-down” strategies as being legislative and enforceable, the “bottom-up” being reflexive movements created through fertile fallacies, and the middle being the “glue” that holds our society together: national pastimes, patriotism, culture, and uniquely within America - the Christian Faith.

We Hold These Truths | Alan Keyes | CPAC 2019
At CPAC 2019, Sovereign Nations gathered speakers from various positions and backgrounds to address issues surrounding the postmodern deconstruction of the greater evangelical church.
Ambassador Alan Keyes focused on the understanding that the entirety of the grievance movement, intersectionality, and social justice violated the essential understanding of the Imago Dei and the Declaration. As Dr. Keyes so eloquently put it: “I basically learned to love America because of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence is premised on that we are all created and that that means that I am NOT in my identity the result of my own passion, the result of my own choice, the result of an oppressors choice to brutalize my family or my ancestors or myself. What I am is the result of the will and power and loving intention of Almighty God: He told me what that intention is on the very first page practically of his word. That He made me to be in the image and likeness of God to reflect the power that is beyond all powers and the will that can constrain all wills producing the future that can encompass every hope and every dream and every possibility of that humanity that he made me to be in to achieve which one of their powers and their verbiage and their nonsense can be the equal of this identity that I bear. In spite of them, in spite of the world, in spite of every indignity that has been or could ever be done to me for I stand above it all basking in the glow of the image of God that shines forth upon me and that shines from within me because of His will there is no substitute for this there is no way they can overpower us when the source of who we are has nothing to do with their power and everything to do with the power they can never touch…”

Progressive Ideological Challenges to Biblical Christianity | Thomas Ascol | CPAC 2019
At CPAC 2019, Sovereign Nations gathered speakers from various positions and backgrounds to address issues surrounding the postmodern deconstruction of the greater evangelical church.
Dr. Tom Ascol, President of the Founders Ministries, brought a message addressing the influence of progressive schemes by stating that those within the church have “effectively enticed many churches to welcome godless ideologies into their environs and he's done it through the Trojan horse of what is commonly called social justice in the name of racial reconciliation.”

White Privilege: The New Original Sin | Dr. Thomas Ascol
The concept of “white privilege” has embedded itself within nearly every stratum of our culture in the United States, championed by progressives and those that are seeking to deconstruct our current narratives and historical hierarchies. As the church has become the purposed focus of those seeking to balkanize the church, it should not be a surprise that this pernicious concept has been used as a divisive tool to divide the church. Listen as Dr. Thomas Ascol of Founders Ministries examines the origins and effects of the foreign importation of “white privilege” in the body of Christ.
