The Will Spencer Podcast

This week, I hosted a memorial livestream following Charlie Kirk's assassination. I was joined by Cody Lawrence (Spare No Arrows), Hitler Hated Christ, journalist Mikale Olson, and Pastor Darren DePaul. In this stream, I argued that our nation experienced collective trauma from witnessing graphic violence, identifying four problematic responses: leftists celebrating the death, right-wingers calling for retaliation, conspiracy theorists blaming various actors, and high-level influencers engaging in divisive arguments. And my guests and I discussed challenges with radical ideologies infiltrating conservative Christian spaces and the need for pastoral mentorship. I concluded that the majority response has been people turning toward faith and spiritual renewal in Charlie Kirk's memory.KEY TAKEAWAYS1. Pastoral care is essential during crisis - Pastor Darren emphasized the need for churches to provide real mentorship and life-on-life discipleship rather than just Sunday services.2. Violent imagery can be traumatizing - The widespread circulation of graphic footage created shock and grief for many Americans unaccustomed to witnessing such violence.3. Multiple factions are exploiting the tragedy - Various groups are using Kirk's death to advance their own agendas rather than focusing on healing.4. Cultural Christianity lacks depth - Several of us noted that surface-level Christian identity without genuine faith leads to inconsistent behavior and eventual rebellion.5. Young men need wisdom and mentorship - Our discussion highlighted how young men's lack of discernment makes them vulnerable to extremist ideologies from various directions.6. Charlie Kirk's legacy was dialogue over force - We agreed his approach of engaging opponents through conversation rather than violence should be emulated.CONNECT WITH TPUSAhttps://tpusa.orgCONNECT WITH MY GUESTSCody LawrenceMikale OlsonHitler Hated ChristDarren Depaul

Dr. Yoram Hazony is chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation and author of The Virtue of Nationalism. In this conversation, he explains how liberal imperialism disguised as "tolerance" destroys nations from within, argues that America's founding as a Christian nation offers the only path back from cultural collapse, and warns that China represents the greatest existential threat to Western civilization while young men waste energy fighting imaginary enemies.KEY TAKEAWAYSLiberal "neutrality" creates a cultural vacuum that gets filled by neo-Marxism and chaosHitler was an imperialist, not a nationalist - nationalism means independent nations coexistingHuman obligations are inherited, not chosen through consent - loyalty bonds create nationsAmerica was legally recognized as a Christian nation until 1947's separation doctrineChina is the only real threat to America while conservatives fight phantom battlesOrthodox Jews and serious Christians are natural allies against liberal imperialismMENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST"The Dangerous Secret Young Men Are Keeping: Neo-Nazi Thought Has Entered the Church" - by Will Spencer (Christ Over All)CONNECT WITH DR.

Courtenay Turner and Carl Teichrib return to expose the hidden influence of Ken Wilber, the "Christian Joe Rogan's" philosophical inspiration who has shaped globalist movements for decades.
