Send us a textA cultural shockwave overnight forced us to shelve a planned travel story and wrestle with a harder truth: when a nation sweeps God out of public life, it does not become neutral—it becomes vacant. And vacant houses don’t stay empty. Drawing from Isaiah’s piercing warnings and Jesus’ “empty house” teaching in Matthew 12, we trace how institutions without a rooted moral center get occupied by harsher spirits—call it culture if you want, but the fruit shows the source. The result is an upside-down moral map where bitter is sold as sweet and confusion masquerades as compassion.We don’t chase labels or turn this into a religious blame game. Instead, we ask the only question that matters: is the spirit behind our laws, leaders, and daily choices heavenly or demonic? That simple test reframes politics, reframes outrage, and reframes our own hearts. After time in Turkey, watching unapologetic public devotion, we felt convicted about our habit of hiding faith. Private belief can’t steady public life. Presence matters. Witness matters. Community matters.So here’s our practical path forward: seven actions that don’t require storming beaches, just steady courage. Repent. Accept Jesus. Go to church and be known. Read Scripture daily. Support kingdom builders who serve on the front lines. Live in community that corrects and carries. Worship out loud to retrain desire toward what is true and good. We believe this is how households regain peace, churches regain clarity, and cities regain light. If you’re tired of the cultural whiplash and ready for a braver, kinder, more anchored way, this conversation is your starting line.Subscribe for future episodes, share this with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review with the one action you’ll take this week.
