From wars and rumors of war abroad, to the rise of anti-Christian, "woke" ideology here at home, it’s clear that Americans are living in perilous and unprecedented times. Some would even say that we’re witnessing biblical prophecy unfold in real time. Stakelbeck Tonight will make sense of these stunning developments through a bold and biblical lens.

Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: March 19, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | March 19, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:03.358 --> 00:00:04.793
I'm erick stakelbeck and we're seeing a new wave of domestic
00:00:04.793 --> 00:00:09.198
Terrorism in the united states over the past few weeks.
00:00:09.198 --> 00:00:13.001
Unhinged leftists have been attacking tesla cars
00:00:13.001 --> 00:00:16.772
And dealerships.
00:00:16.772 --> 00:00:18.107
This was the scene in las vegas on tuesday as five
00:00:18.107 --> 00:00:21.910
Tesla vehicles were set on fire in what police are calling
00:00:21.910 --> 00:00:25.681
A targeted attack.
00:00:25.681 --> 00:00:27.249
Folks, this is a growing pattern.
00:00:27.249 --> 00:00:29.985
We've seen tesla showrooms and charging stations targeted
00:00:29.985 --> 00:00:33.522
And we've got multiple videos of vandals keeping
00:00:33.522 --> 00:00:37.025
Tesla vehicles like cybertruck's as they're parked
00:00:37.025 --> 00:00:40.462
On residential streets or in parking lots.
00:00:40.462 --> 00:00:43.532
All of this evil, irrational behavior
00:00:43.532 --> 00:00:46.335
Because the left despises the owner of tesla, elon
00:00:46.335 --> 00:00:50.339
Musk, who dares to work for president trump.
00:00:50.339 --> 00:00:53.642
Musk's department of government efficiency or doge, is cutting
00:00:53.642 --> 00:00:57.446
The kind of wasteful spending that the left specializes in.
00:00:57.446 --> 00:01:01.116
You know, like $22 billion to provide free housing and cars
00:01:01.116 --> 00:01:06.321
For illegal aliens or countless millions
00:01:06.321 --> 00:01:09.625
To promote the lgbtq agenda in africa.
00:01:09.625 --> 00:01:13.095
The list goes on.
00:01:13.095 --> 00:01:14.463
Musk is shining light in the darkness,
00:01:14.463 --> 00:01:17.032
And he's also turned x, formerly known as twitter, into a true
00:01:17.032 --> 00:01:21.336
Forum for free speech and the free exchange of ideas.
00:01:21.336 --> 00:01:25.140
Again, this enrages the left.
00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:27.743
Their goal to cancel culture
00:01:27.743 --> 00:01:30.112
Is disappearing before their very eyes,
00:01:30.112 --> 00:01:32.814
And they blame musk and, of course, donald trump.
00:01:32.814 --> 00:01:36.418
Here's failed democrat vice presidential nominee tim walsh
00:01:36.418 --> 00:01:40.189
Rooting for the failure of tesla,
00:01:40.189 --> 00:01:42.391
One of the most important american companies,
00:01:42.391 --> 00:01:45.060
And giving a wink and nod to vandalism in the process,
00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:50.199
Saying on my phone, i don't mean.
00:01:50.199 --> 00:01:51.533
All this on the iphone.
00:01:51.533 --> 00:01:52.501
They've got that little stock app.
00:01:52.501 --> 00:01:54.036
I added tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day
00:01:54.036 --> 00:01:59.107
To 25 and dropping.
00:01:59.107 --> 00:02:01.843
So and
00:02:01.843 --> 00:02:06.949
And if you own one.
00:02:06.949 --> 00:02:08.617
If you own one, we're not blaming you.
00:02:08.617 --> 00:02:10.485
You can
00:02:10.485 --> 00:02:11.687
You can take dental floss and pull the tesla thing off,
00:02:11.687 --> 00:02:14.189
You know, and take out it just telling you.
00:02:14.189 --> 00:02:17.459
Again, that's minnesota governor tim
00:02:17.459 --> 00:02:19.261
Walz, better known for mandating that tampons
00:02:19.261 --> 00:02:22.264
Be placed in boys bathrooms in his state's public schools.
00:02:22.264 --> 00:02:25.934
Look, you have to ask yourself here
00:02:25.934 --> 00:02:27.536
With prominent democrats and various left wing commentators
00:02:27.536 --> 00:02:31.139
Basically just laughing over this tesla terror.
00:02:31.139 --> 00:02:34.409
How long before tesla owners are physically attacked
00:02:34.409 --> 00:02:38.347
And not just their cars?
00:02:38.347 --> 00:02:40.215
Here's elon musk responding to the madness.
00:02:40.215 --> 00:02:44.419
When you take away people's,
00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:47.022
You know, what the money they're receiving
00:02:47.022 --> 00:02:49.491
Fraudulently, they get very upset and they
00:02:49.491 --> 00:02:53.128
They basically want to kill me because i'm stopping their fraud
00:02:53.128 --> 00:02:57.165
And they want to hurt tesla because we're stopping this
00:02:57.165 --> 00:03:00.636
This terrible waste and corruption in the government.
00:03:00.636 --> 00:03:04.773
And well, i guess they're bad people.
00:03:04.773 --> 00:03:09.511
Bad people will do bad things.
00:03:09.511 --> 00:03:13.448
Yes, they will.
00:03:13.448 --> 00:03:14.483
But here's the good news.
00:03:14.483 --> 00:03:15.817
Leftists can wail and gnash their teeth,
00:03:15.817 --> 00:03:18.553
But the train has left the station.
00:03:18.553 --> 00:03:21.390
A new nbc poll
00:03:21.390 --> 00:03:22.791
Just found that more americans believe our country is heading
00:03:22.791 --> 00:03:25.861
In the right direction now than at any other time since 2004.
00:03:25.861 --> 00:03:30.899
God is moving in america,
00:03:30.899 --> 00:03:32.701
And one way he's doing it is through the culture.
00:03:32.701 --> 00:03:36.071
Pastor greg laurie is here to tell us about a new hit show
00:03:36.071 --> 00:03:39.074
That's bringing the bible to life.
00:03:39.074 --> 00:03:41.643
And it all starts now.
00:03:41.643 --> 00:04:00.562
David shepherd,
00:04:00.929 --> 00:04:02.631
Warrior king, a man after god's own heart.
00:04:02.631 --> 00:04:06.735
But what can we learn from david's triumphs and failures
00:04:06.735 --> 00:04:10.672
Today?
00:04:10.672 --> 00:04:11.340
Our good friend, pastor
00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:12.574
And bestselling author greg
00:04:12.574 --> 00:04:13.675
Laurie explores these lessons in his brand new book
00:04:13.675 --> 00:04:16.878
And devotional house of david a devotional 30 days
00:04:16.878 --> 00:04:21.183
With the man after god's own heart, of course, is also
00:04:21.183 --> 00:04:24.052
Great new show on amazon prime called house of david.
00:04:24.052 --> 00:04:27.556
And pastor greg joins us now.
00:04:27.556 --> 00:04:29.558
Pastor greg, always great to see you.
00:04:29.558 --> 00:04:31.560
And what a time to write this book
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.962
And for this show to hit the air, of course.
00:04:33.962 --> 00:04:36.198
Why is david's story, the ups, the downs?
00:04:36.198 --> 00:04:39.301
Why is it so relevant for us still today?
00:04:39.301 --> 00:04:43.572
I think it's because, eric, good to be with you.
00:04:43.572 --> 00:04:45.874
Thanks for having me on your show again.
00:04:45.874 --> 00:04:48.210
I think it's because david is so accessible.
00:04:48.210 --> 00:04:52.647
You can relate to him.
00:04:52.647 --> 00:04:53.749
You know, he's
00:04:53.749 --> 00:04:54.549
One of the unique bible characters
00:04:54.549 --> 00:04:56.084
That effectively kept a diary.
00:04:56.084 --> 00:04:58.353
By a diary, i don't mean one one
00:04:58.353 --> 00:05:00.088
With a little heart shaped log on it.
00:05:00.088 --> 00:05:01.656
Like, you know, it's like he wrote down his thoughts,
00:05:01.656 --> 00:05:05.093
His innermost thoughts, his fears, his prayers.
00:05:05.093 --> 00:05:09.464
We call them the psalms.
00:05:09.464 --> 00:05:11.600
And so they're like the diary of david.
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.871
Telling this in real time what he was experiencing.
00:05:15.871 --> 00:05:19.141
And when you read what david was facing,
00:05:19.141 --> 00:05:22.110
You think, man, that's just like me.
00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:24.112
And that's why these psalms are timeless.
00:05:24.112 --> 00:05:26.381
Like, think of some 23.
00:05:26.381 --> 00:05:29.284
You know, he probably was just looking
00:05:29.284 --> 00:05:30.819
At his clock one day, eric, and thinking how
00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:34.022
Helpless they were, how weak and vulnerable they were.
00:05:34.022 --> 00:05:37.959
And then he just thought, you know, i'm their shepherd.
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.829
If a predator comes like a lion or a bear,
00:05:40.829 --> 00:05:43.832
I have to fight that predator off.
00:05:43.832 --> 00:05:46.501
And the lord is my shepherd.
00:05:46.501 --> 00:05:49.070
You know, i'm just like those helpless sheep.
00:05:49.070 --> 00:05:52.040
And so, you know, david is uniquely described
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.444
To the bible as the man after god's own heart.
00:05:55.444 --> 00:05:58.547
That is not said of any other man or woman in the bible.
00:05:58.547 --> 00:06:01.850
Why, david?
00:06:01.850 --> 00:06:02.984
It's i don't know that i have the exact answer, but
00:06:02.984 --> 00:06:06.822
I think the reason would be is because he was hopelessly human.
00:06:06.822 --> 00:06:11.593
Yet at the same time, he was not in any way
00:06:11.593 --> 00:06:14.029
Embarrassed or reluctant to call out to god
00:06:14.029 --> 00:06:17.566
To hang on to god. yes, he said.
00:06:17.566 --> 00:06:21.002
But when he said he would repent
00:06:21.002 --> 00:06:23.972
And turn back to the lord again, and you know,
00:06:23.972 --> 00:06:27.075
He was the greatest king israel ever had.
00:06:27.075 --> 00:06:29.177
Yeah. pastor greg, i think that's a key point.
00:06:29.177 --> 00:06:31.046
I would say david was unashamed even when he danced
00:06:31.046 --> 00:06:34.683
Before the lord danced wildly.
00:06:34.683 --> 00:06:36.351
The bible says before the lord.
00:06:36.351 --> 00:06:37.986
Completely unashamed and accessible, as you said.
00:06:37.986 --> 00:06:40.388
I love that about david.
00:06:40.388 --> 00:06:41.957
Hate the book.
00:06:41.957 --> 00:06:43.525
I love the book because 30 days you're going through and you're
00:06:43.525 --> 00:06:47.028
Taking, i guess you would say, key lessons from david's life.
00:06:47.028 --> 00:06:50.832
Now, you just laid out a few for us
00:06:50.832 --> 00:06:53.068
In writing this book and researching for it.
00:06:53.068 --> 00:06:55.570
Anything in particular that jumped out at you
00:06:55.570 --> 00:06:58.373
About david that we can apply to our daily lives?
00:06:58.373 --> 00:07:02.344
Well, i loved writing the book.
00:07:02.344 --> 00:07:05.447
It's always fun to revisit his story again
00:07:05.447 --> 00:07:09.317
And then, of course, to go on the set of the series.
00:07:09.317 --> 00:07:13.154
That's on amazon right now has that.
00:07:13.154 --> 00:07:14.789
David because they recreated the palace of saul,
00:07:14.789 --> 00:07:18.994
They recreated the throne room, the the
00:07:18.994 --> 00:07:22.731
And then you go out into the beautiful scenery of greece
00:07:22.731 --> 00:07:25.934
And it's very similar to israel and the almost feel
00:07:25.934 --> 00:07:29.938
Like you're going back in time
00:07:29.938 --> 00:07:31.273
So that that's a cool thing to be able to do.
00:07:31.273 --> 00:07:35.143
They recreated the house of jesse to perfection.
00:07:35.143 --> 00:07:38.547
Jesse was the father of david,
00:07:38.547 --> 00:07:40.482
And you feel like you were walking back in time.
00:07:40.482 --> 00:07:42.584
I wish more people could visit it.
00:07:42.584 --> 00:07:44.319
But coming back to david,
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.121
Trying to walk in the sandals a little bit.
00:07:46.121 --> 00:07:48.623
You know one thing, david, you know, he had an adversary.
00:07:48.623 --> 00:07:51.693
His life was a hard life.
00:07:51.693 --> 00:07:53.895
He was rejected by his father.
00:07:53.895 --> 00:07:56.331
His father was reluctant to bring him forward.
00:07:56.331 --> 00:07:58.633
When the visiting prophet samuel came to his town of bethlehem
00:07:58.633 --> 00:08:02.704
To find the next king of israel, because god had shown samuel.
00:08:02.704 --> 00:08:06.675
The next king is from bethlehem and he's from the house
00:08:06.675 --> 00:08:10.445
Of jesse.
00:08:10.445 --> 00:08:11.279
But after jesse paraded his seven sons
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.416
Before the visiting prophet, you know, none of them
00:08:14.416 --> 00:08:17.953
Were the ones, the magnificent seven till the death.
00:08:17.953 --> 00:08:21.323
And samuel said, well, do you have any other sons in the.
00:08:21.323 --> 00:08:26.094
Jesse reluctantly admitted, yeah, one more, david.
00:08:26.094 --> 00:08:29.130
He is a shepherd. what?
00:08:29.130 --> 00:08:30.865
As a sheep, he's a musician.
00:08:30.865 --> 00:08:32.500
A little different.
00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:33.902
I'm paraphrasing, of course.
00:08:33.902 --> 00:08:35.470
Bring him in.
00:08:35.470 --> 00:08:36.404
And of course, then the lord shows samuel.
00:08:36.404 --> 00:08:38.373
This is the one, and he anoints them with oil.
00:08:38.373 --> 00:08:41.543
But. but, you know,
00:08:41.543 --> 00:08:42.711
If it was a fairy tale, he would become the king.
00:08:42.711 --> 00:08:45.847
He would meet michael, his bride,
00:08:45.847 --> 00:08:48.550
And they would live happily ever after.
00:08:48.550 --> 00:08:50.251
But this is the bible story, which means it's a true story.
00:08:50.251 --> 00:08:53.688
And you're going to find out what really happened.
00:08:53.688 --> 00:08:55.457
So david does ascended the throne many years later
00:08:55.457 --> 00:08:59.427
Because king saul, the present occupant of the throne,
00:08:59.427 --> 00:09:03.331
Was hell bent on destroying king david.
00:09:03.331 --> 00:09:06.267
So david spent a lot of time on the run,
00:09:06.267 --> 00:09:09.571
And that's when he wrote his psalms, and that's when he
00:09:09.571 --> 00:09:13.475
Called out to god.
00:09:13.475 --> 00:09:14.943
So he had that great victory with goliath defeating him.
00:09:14.943 --> 00:09:18.713
But then he had a very hard life for many years
00:09:18.713 --> 00:09:21.750
Before he actually ascended to the throne.
00:09:21.750 --> 00:09:24.419
So it's like life for us.
00:09:24.419 --> 00:09:26.254
You know, you have great days, you have bad days.
00:09:26.254 --> 00:09:29.057
Things go really well.
00:09:29.057 --> 00:09:30.191
Things go really badly.
00:09:30.191 --> 00:09:32.160
But the ultimate thing is david always trusted in god
00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:35.997
Through thick and thin, as he said in his own psalm
00:09:35.997 --> 00:09:39.701
Here, you know,
00:09:39.701 --> 00:09:40.802
I walked through the valley of the shadow of death.
00:09:40.802 --> 00:09:43.338
I will fear no evil.
00:09:43.338 --> 00:09:45.006
For you are with me.
00:09:45.006 --> 00:09:46.141
Pastor greg, well-said, as always.
00:09:46.141 --> 00:09:47.909
And what a great point.
00:09:47.909 --> 00:09:48.843
Look, a period of waiting and refining,
00:09:48.843 --> 00:09:51.646
Intense spiritual warfare that david experienced.
00:09:51.646 --> 00:09:55.116
It's laid out in your great new book.
00:09:55.116 --> 00:09:56.551
It's laid out in the great show on amazon prime.
00:09:56.551 --> 00:09:58.753
And after the break,
00:09:58.753 --> 00:09:59.888
Another one of pastor greg's passions is real america.
00:09:59.888 --> 00:10:03.491
Where are we on the prophetic time clock?
00:10:03.491 --> 00:10:06.261
More with pastor greg larry after the break.
00:10:06.261 --> 00:10:09.264
Don't move.
00:10:09.264 --> 00:10:12.002
Don't move.
00:10:12.002 --> 00:10:15.404
Welcome back to
00:10:15.771 --> 00:10:16.772
Stakelbeck tonight, we're talking to the one
00:10:16.772 --> 00:10:17.973
And only pastor greg larry, senior pastor of harvest
00:10:17.973 --> 00:10:20.509
Christian fellowship in orange county and host,
00:10:20.509 --> 00:10:22.712
Of course, of harvest with greg larry right here on tbn.
00:10:22.712 --> 00:10:27.049
Pastor greg, you've been talking to bunch
00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:28.751
And for good reason as of late about israel,
00:10:28.751 --> 00:10:31.987
About israel's role in god's prophetic time
00:10:31.987 --> 00:10:34.623
Clock, about the times we are living in.
00:10:34.623 --> 00:10:37.126
It seems that
00:10:37.126 --> 00:10:37.993
Things have kind of gone into overdrive
00:10:37.993 --> 00:10:39.662
Since president trump took office once again.
00:10:39.662 --> 00:10:41.964
How are you seeing things
00:10:41.964 --> 00:10:43.232
As the prophetic chess pieces are moving on the board,
00:10:43.232 --> 00:10:45.835
The state of play, i guess you would say right now,
00:10:45.835 --> 00:10:48.771
Not only for israel, but for the united states?
00:10:48.771 --> 00:10:53.109
Well,
00:10:53.109 --> 00:10:54.376
We know that a large force from the north of israel will attack
00:10:54.376 --> 00:10:58.347
Her after she is regathered together in her homeland.
00:10:58.347 --> 00:11:02.251
According to a z killed 37 and 38.
00:11:02.251 --> 00:11:05.221
Many bible scholars believe that may god bless russia.
00:11:05.221 --> 00:11:09.592
I would agree with that.
00:11:09.592 --> 00:11:12.328
I think it very well may be russia.
00:11:12.328 --> 00:11:14.196
But here's one thing we do know.
00:11:14.196 --> 00:11:15.731
One of the allies
00:11:15.731 --> 00:11:16.732
That marches with magog is identified as persia.
00:11:16.732 --> 00:11:20.870
Well, iran was called persia up until 1935.
00:11:20.870 --> 00:11:25.207
So, in other words, the bible is saying
00:11:25.207 --> 00:11:27.209
There will be an alliance between persia, modern day iran,
00:11:27.209 --> 00:11:32.281
And may god, most likely russia in the end times.
00:11:32.281 --> 00:11:36.118
This is a
00:11:36.118 --> 00:11:37.186
Fairly recent development that has only started
00:11:37.186 --> 00:11:39.789
In the nineties,
00:11:39.789 --> 00:11:40.956
So you can see hundreds of years ago the prophets told us
00:11:40.956 --> 00:11:44.727
What was going to happen.
00:11:44.727 --> 00:11:45.961
We'll look at where persia, iran is that right now they are
00:11:45.961 --> 00:11:50.499
Within striking distance of developing a nuclear weapon.
00:11:50.499 --> 00:11:55.070
They've repeatedly threatened to use that weapon on israel
00:11:55.070 --> 00:11:58.808
And in their words, wipe them off the face of the map.
00:11:58.808 --> 00:12:01.544
And they have also threatened the united states.
00:12:01.544 --> 00:12:04.880
They call israel the little satan in america,
00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:07.917
The great satan.
00:12:07.917 --> 00:12:09.351
I think it's insane that we ever sent money to iran
00:12:09.351 --> 00:12:13.222
As the last administration did, because they're a nation
00:12:13.222 --> 00:12:17.760
That funds terrorism through proxy
00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:19.762
Organizations like the houthis, hezbollah and hamas.
00:12:19.762 --> 00:12:23.732
We recently hit the houthis there in yemen, yemen, rather.
00:12:23.732 --> 00:12:29.104
And so, you know, things are escalating right now.
00:12:29.104 --> 00:12:32.942
And so you see how the scenario
00:12:32.942 --> 00:12:36.178
Of ezekiel 38 could literally click into gear.
00:12:36.178 --> 00:12:39.315
And i'm not saying
00:12:39.315 --> 00:12:40.382
It will necessarily, but you're seeing how it could
00:12:40.382 --> 00:12:44.153
Because we're seeing bible prophecies fulfilled
00:12:44.153 --> 00:12:46.789
Before our eyes.
00:12:46.789 --> 00:12:48.123
I appreciate the fact that president trump
00:12:48.123 --> 00:12:51.393
Is a staunch ally of israel.
00:12:51.393 --> 00:12:53.529
He's given them carte blanche to destroy
00:12:53.529 --> 00:12:57.266
Hamas, a terrorist organization to complete that task.
00:12:57.266 --> 00:13:01.203
They were getting mixed messages
00:13:01.203 --> 00:13:02.771
From the biden administration, of course, so i'm glad of that.
00:13:02.771 --> 00:13:07.176
They are a good ally.
00:13:07.176 --> 00:13:08.744
They are our friend and and we are their friend.
00:13:08.744 --> 00:13:12.381
And, you know, god says, i will bless those that
00:13:12.381 --> 00:13:15.951
Bless you and curse those that curse you.
00:13:15.951 --> 00:13:18.254
And i think one of the reasons god has blessed america
00:13:18.254 --> 00:13:21.056
Is because we have blessed israel, the homeland of the
00:13:21.056 --> 00:13:24.627
Jewish people.
00:13:24.627 --> 00:13:25.861
And speaking of the jewish people, it's
00:13:25.861 --> 00:13:27.963
Ironic that in the wake of october 7th,
00:13:27.963 --> 00:13:30.966
Which is the worst attack against israel that they've had.
00:13:30.966 --> 00:13:35.938
And then, of course, it's one of the worst losses of life
00:13:35.938 --> 00:13:39.675
That they've had since the whole accost
00:13:39.675 --> 00:13:41.944
That anti-semitism would be on the rise.
00:13:41.944 --> 00:13:44.213
You'd think it'd be the opposite.
00:13:44.213 --> 00:13:45.981
You'd think people would be
00:13:45.981 --> 00:13:47.116
Sympathetic toward the jewish people.
00:13:47.116 --> 00:13:49.318
And that's why, as christians,
00:13:49.318 --> 00:13:51.787
We need to stand up
00:13:51.787 --> 00:13:53.088
For our jewish friends, let them know they're not alone,
00:13:53.088 --> 00:13:56.392
Let them know we care about them,
00:13:56.392 --> 00:13:58.193
Defend them, and also, i believe we must stand up
00:13:58.193 --> 00:14:01.463
For the nation of israel because they are
00:14:01.463 --> 00:14:04.400
And always will be god's chosen people.
00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:07.436
God keeps his promises.
00:14:07.436 --> 00:14:09.171
He made a promise to them.
00:14:09.171 --> 00:14:10.639
He's going to keep it just as he's made promises to us
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.043
As his followers.
00:14:14.043 --> 00:14:15.344
Amen. pastor greg, well-said, as always.
00:14:15.344 --> 00:14:17.446
Hey, about a minute left.
00:14:17.446 --> 00:14:18.781
You and i have talked a bunch about revival in america.
00:14:18.781 --> 00:14:22.084
Your great film, jesus revolution.
00:14:22.084 --> 00:14:23.619
Of course,
00:14:23.619 --> 00:14:24.787
A film based on your life was out about two years ago
00:14:24.787 --> 00:14:27.056
And i think helped make major headway towards revival.
00:14:27.056 --> 00:14:30.426
Seems like a new day in america right now.
00:14:30.426 --> 00:14:32.461
Are you continuing to see
00:14:32.461 --> 00:14:33.729
Those stirrings of a collective turning back to god in america?
00:14:33.729 --> 00:14:37.533
I am.
00:14:37.533 --> 00:14:38.100
I'm seeing it
00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:39.401
And i'm really encouraged to see it happening
00:14:39.401 --> 00:14:42.604
All over the place.
00:14:42.604 --> 00:14:43.672
Simultaneously on our college campuses,
00:14:43.672 --> 00:14:47.176
We have these beautiful prayer meetings breaking out
00:14:47.176 --> 00:14:50.546
And a bunch of kids getting baptized.
00:14:50.546 --> 00:14:53.349
And and a lot of that was sort of prompted.
00:14:53.349 --> 00:14:55.951
I don't want to give the credit to the film gods at work,
00:14:55.951 --> 00:14:58.821
But the film visually is that for people, it showed them
00:14:58.821 --> 00:15:02.224
How big of a deal baptism was during the jesus movement.
00:15:02.224 --> 00:15:05.661
And we know that a lot of that is happened in the wake of this.
00:15:05.661 --> 00:15:08.197
As a matter of fact,
00:15:08.197 --> 00:15:09.498
The largest american baptism in american history
00:15:09.498 --> 00:15:13.202
Was something that we were privileged
00:15:13.202 --> 00:15:14.970
To sponsor in the wake of the film,
00:15:14.970 --> 00:15:17.373
And we baptized in one day 4500 people.
00:15:17.373 --> 00:15:20.976
And there's no question,
00:15:20.976 --> 00:15:22.211
As we interviewed people before we baptized them
00:15:22.211 --> 00:15:24.680
And they were there because they saw the film.
00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:26.715
So, you know, it said that life imitates art.
00:15:26.715 --> 00:15:30.452
Well, in this case,
00:15:30.452 --> 00:15:32.855
Art was well, life imitates excuse.
00:15:32.855 --> 00:15:35.090
The art imitates life. that's what i should say.
00:15:35.090 --> 00:15:37.893
So we have art imitating life in the jesus revolution
00:15:37.893 --> 00:15:40.529
Film, but then in a baptism inspired by the film,
00:15:40.529 --> 00:15:43.766
Now we have life imitating art that was imitating life.
00:15:43.766 --> 00:15:47.136
So it's kind of a cool thing.
00:15:47.136 --> 00:15:48.470
Yeah.
00:15:48.470 --> 00:15:48.771
So yes,
00:15:48.771 --> 00:15:49.805
And i think also the amazing things
00:15:49.805 --> 00:15:53.242
Like the chosen runaway success of the house of david
00:15:53.242 --> 00:15:57.446
On the amazon platform
00:15:57.446 --> 00:15:58.847
Being in the number two position of all of their content,
00:15:58.847 --> 00:16:02.418
The rise of bible sales in america up i think, 25%.
00:16:02.418 --> 00:16:06.822
These are promising signs. eric they are.
00:16:06.822 --> 00:16:09.491
And don't forget the house of david,
00:16:09.491 --> 00:16:11.093
30 day devotional by our good friend pastor greg larry.
00:16:11.093 --> 00:16:14.263
Pastor greg, great breakdown as always.
00:16:14.263 --> 00:16:16.799
God bless.
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:17.466
We're watching house of david.
00:16:17.466 --> 00:16:18.500
We're looking for the book.
00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:19.468
Pastor greg, we'll see you again soon.
00:16:19.468 --> 00:16:21.437
And coming up after the break.
00:16:21.437 --> 00:16:22.905
Country music superstar john rich is here
00:16:22.905 --> 00:16:27.009
To share more about his take on that american turnaround.
00:16:27.009 --> 00:16:30.712
That's coming up next. stick around.
00:16:30.712 --> 00:16:34.999
That's coming up next. stick around.
00:16:34.999 --> 00:16:38.053
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
00:16:38.821 --> 00:16:40.589
He's a man who doesn't just sing about american values.
00:16:40.589 --> 00:16:43.959
He embodies them.
00:16:43.959 --> 00:16:45.360
John rich is a country music
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:46.895
Superstar, entrepreneur and unapologetic patriot.
00:16:46.895 --> 00:16:50.699
Whether it's standing up for faith and freedom
00:16:50.699 --> 00:16:53.168
Or taking on woke culture, john does not mince words.
00:16:53.168 --> 00:16:57.206
And he joins us now.
00:16:57.206 --> 00:16:58.640
John, always great to see you.
00:16:58.640 --> 00:17:00.008
Hey, i know you're very excited
00:17:00.008 --> 00:17:02.144
About this new team at the top of the fbi,
00:17:02.144 --> 00:17:05.447
Cash patel, dan bongino, a dynamic duo.
00:17:05.447 --> 00:17:09.151
John, tell us why you're so excited
00:17:09.151 --> 00:17:11.453
That they will now be leading the fbi.
00:17:11.453 --> 00:17:14.356
Well, let's let's think about what
00:17:14.356 --> 00:17:16.024
Trump has done here with these agencies.
00:17:16.024 --> 00:17:18.460
So you're going to take people
00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:20.562
Who were targeted by the agencies
00:17:20.562 --> 00:17:23.866
And allow those people to then run the agency.
00:17:23.866 --> 00:17:27.069
So if you look at the fbi,
00:17:27.069 --> 00:17:28.437
The fbi was all all over kash patel, the fbi
00:17:28.437 --> 00:17:34.510
Hated dan bongino.
00:17:34.510 --> 00:17:35.811
I mean, dan was calling him out every single day.
00:17:35.811 --> 00:17:38.147
So trump has put people in places now over these agencies
00:17:38.147 --> 00:17:41.850
That i think literally want to just show us the entire
00:17:41.850 --> 00:17:45.220
True story.
00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:45.888
I don't think you can fix them
00:17:45.888 --> 00:17:47.089
Until you tell everybody what's actually going on.
00:17:47.089 --> 00:17:49.258
Rfk jr is another great example.
00:17:49.258 --> 00:17:51.827
I mean, you're going to put a guy in charge
00:17:51.827 --> 00:17:55.430
Of our health and welfare and medicine,
00:17:55.430 --> 00:17:58.066
A guy who was targeted, banned, censored, shut down,
00:17:58.066 --> 00:18:01.637
Wrote an entire book on anthony foushee
00:18:01.637 --> 00:18:03.739
Called the raelians and pouce.
00:18:03.739 --> 00:18:05.207
You're going to let that guy run hhs.
00:18:05.207 --> 00:18:08.610
I mean, i think what trump has done is absolutely brilliant.
00:18:08.610 --> 00:18:11.446
He is putting people into positions of power
00:18:11.446 --> 00:18:14.383
Who know the system better than anybody
00:18:14.383 --> 00:18:16.652
Because they've been victimized by that system.
00:18:16.652 --> 00:18:19.788
So, yeah, when i see patel and bongino teaming up,
00:18:19.788 --> 00:18:22.991
I mean, to me, that's like
00:18:22.991 --> 00:18:24.493
That's like superman and batman got together
00:18:24.493 --> 00:18:26.662
And they're taking on the bad guys.
00:18:26.662 --> 00:18:28.063
Today is a very bad day to be a bad guy in america.
00:18:28.063 --> 00:18:31.200
Amen.
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:31.900
And what you just laid out, too,
00:18:31.900 --> 00:18:33.001
I just keep thinking of the word justice.
00:18:33.001 --> 00:18:35.637
Speaking of which, we've got unhinged leftists now
00:18:35.637 --> 00:18:38.907
Attacking tesla showrooms and keeping tesla cars.
00:18:38.907 --> 00:18:44.112
What have you made of this?
00:18:44.112 --> 00:18:45.247
I mean, the left now, we knew it was going to come.
00:18:45.247 --> 00:18:47.816
The great successes of donald trump and elon musk
00:18:47.816 --> 00:18:50.319
In helping to turn the country around.
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:51.687
The left doesn't like that
00:18:51.687 --> 00:18:52.721
Because they don't like america very much.
00:18:52.721 --> 00:18:54.289
What have you made of that?
00:18:54.289 --> 00:18:55.524
But we've seen in the past few weeks the targeting of tesla.
00:18:55.524 --> 00:18:58.293
Well, it's terrorism.
00:18:58.293 --> 00:19:00.095
I mean, by definition, if you take a molotov cocktail,
00:19:00.095 --> 00:19:04.900
So meaning a glass jar full of gasoline and you throw that
00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:10.572
At anybody or
00:19:10.572 --> 00:19:11.607
Anything in public, that's terrorism.
00:19:11.607 --> 00:19:15.577
Absolutely.
00:19:15.577 --> 00:19:16.245
It's also it's also
00:19:16.245 --> 00:19:17.980
Attempted murder, depending on if there's people nearby,
00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:20.782
Just like the swatting that's going on right now
00:19:20.782 --> 00:19:22.851
All across the united states, people calling in swat teams
00:19:22.851 --> 00:19:25.787
On conservatives all around this country
00:19:25.787 --> 00:19:27.656
Trying to get the cops and the person
00:19:27.656 --> 00:19:29.925
That they called them on killed in their own homes.
00:19:29.925 --> 00:19:32.628
So this tesla stuff is is absolute terrorism.
00:19:32.628 --> 00:19:35.564
And again, back to cash patel.
00:19:35.564 --> 00:19:38.867
He said, listen, this is this is domestic terrorism.
00:19:38.867 --> 00:19:41.937
It's interesting how the left was calling
00:19:41.937 --> 00:19:45.307
Old ladies, praying outside of abortion clinics,
00:19:45.307 --> 00:19:48.443
Domestic terrorists, white christian nationalists
00:19:48.443 --> 00:19:51.680
And all these other words that they used just for praying
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.716
For peacefully standing out there and praying.
00:19:54.716 --> 00:19:56.385
But but now the left is celebrating the fact
00:19:56.385 --> 00:19:59.187
That total whackos are running a round with molotov cocktails,
00:19:59.187 --> 00:20:04.259
Throwing them through windows and at vehicles.
00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:07.029
I mean, the longer this goes on, the more exposure happens
00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:11.466
On the left.
00:20:11.466 --> 00:20:12.501
I mean, think about where they're at right now.
00:20:12.501 --> 00:20:14.670
Their best.
00:20:14.670 --> 00:20:15.937
And i would say most levelheaded
00:20:15.937 --> 00:20:18.440
Politician on the democrat side is a guy who wears gym shorts
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.311
And sweats sweatshirts to the senate floor
00:20:22.311 --> 00:20:25.480
And honestly would fit right in with the addams family
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:28.483
If they remade that show.
00:20:28.483 --> 00:20:29.918
I mean, that is their number one.
00:20:29.918 --> 00:20:32.187
That's their most level
00:20:32.187 --> 00:20:33.355
Headed democrat out there is john fetterman.
00:20:33.355 --> 00:20:37.192
I mean, this is where they are.
00:20:37.192 --> 00:20:38.860
So i say, you know what, keep on with it, guys.
00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:41.997
We love it because 20, 26 and 2028 and on and on and on,
00:20:41.997 --> 00:20:46.535
You guys are in big, big trouble.
00:20:46.535 --> 00:20:48.236
America is through with their nonsense.
00:20:48.236 --> 00:20:51.006
And they're doubling down on the madness, john, like you said.
00:20:51.006 --> 00:20:53.542
Hey, last question. we've got about a minute left.
00:20:53.542 --> 00:20:55.510
Last time you and i spoke back
00:20:55.510 --> 00:20:56.778
In october, right before the election,
00:20:56.778 --> 00:20:58.914
And we talked about, look, the targeting of judeo-christian
00:20:58.914 --> 00:21:02.351
Civilization, i mean, biblical values of christians.
00:21:02.351 --> 00:21:05.687
Now it seems like we've got to turn around here.
00:21:05.687 --> 00:21:07.889
Do you see perhaps some stirrings of revival
00:21:07.889 --> 00:21:11.026
In our country?
00:21:11.026 --> 00:21:12.594
I actually saw some video
00:21:12.594 --> 00:21:14.029
Recently of some college campuses
00:21:14.029 --> 00:21:16.031
Where there was just mass outbreak of church services
00:21:16.031 --> 00:21:19.835
And revivals in the parking lots.
00:21:19.835 --> 00:21:21.570
I actually saw one where they had pickup trucks
00:21:21.570 --> 00:21:24.306
That they had put tarps down
00:21:24.306 --> 00:21:25.774
In the bed of the truck, filled it up with water.
00:21:25.774 --> 00:21:28.043
They were baptizing people out in the parking
00:21:28.043 --> 00:21:31.012
Lots of major universities.
00:21:31.012 --> 00:21:32.647
I haven't seen anything like that.
00:21:32.647 --> 00:21:34.116
I wasn't i don't think i was even around when that happened.
00:21:34.116 --> 00:21:36.952
What they call the jesus movement
00:21:36.952 --> 00:21:38.320
Back in the sixties and early seventies.
00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:40.489
But that's happening again.
00:21:40.489 --> 00:21:41.590
So, yeah, i do think there's a resurgence.
00:21:41.590 --> 00:21:43.725
I think that for years that we spent
00:21:43.725 --> 00:21:45.861
Being targeted and persecuted like that, woke
00:21:45.861 --> 00:21:48.029
A lot of people up, made them understand
00:21:48.029 --> 00:21:49.898
How important their relationship to god really is.
00:21:49.898 --> 00:21:52.367
You cannot trust the government.
00:21:52.367 --> 00:21:53.735
You can only trust the boss.
00:21:53.735 --> 00:21:55.404
Amen, john. well said, as always.
00:21:55.404 --> 00:21:57.339
And you were one voice during those four years
00:21:57.339 --> 00:21:59.074
That did not remain silent.
00:21:59.074 --> 00:22:00.475
The one and only john rich folks
00:22:00.475 --> 00:22:02.144
Following on across social media pick up.
00:22:02.144 --> 00:22:04.279
All is great music online.
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:05.947
John, great to see you, my friend. as always, god bless.
00:22:05.947 --> 00:22:08.350
Keep up the great work
00:22:08.350 --> 00:22:09.451
And coming up next, my final thoughts on revival.
00:22:09.451 --> 00:22:13.355
Is this the time and why it's really,
00:22:13.355 --> 00:22:15.490
At the end of the day, revival or bust for america.
00:22:15.490 --> 00:22:19.928
That's next. stick around.
00:22:19.928 --> 00:22:23.001
That's next. stick around.
00:22:23.001 --> 00:22:25.835
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
00:22:26.736 --> 00:22:28.371
As we wrap up here, a quick reminder,
00:22:28.371 --> 00:22:30.206
We've got some great stakelbeck tonightt merch.
00:22:30.206 --> 00:22:32.275
You can find that
00:22:32.275 --> 00:22:33.309
Shop, dartboard, hats, hoodies, mugs, t shirts
00:22:33.309 --> 00:22:37.113
For such a time as this.
00:22:37.113 --> 00:22:38.314
Show your support for the show.
00:22:38.314 --> 00:22:39.949
In the meantime, we talk about revival in america.
00:22:39.949 --> 00:22:43.152
I think a lot of
00:22:43.152 --> 00:22:44.387
Americans were praying psalm 80 verse 19 prior to the election
00:22:44.387 --> 00:22:47.924
And since then, restore us, lord god almighty,
00:22:47.924 --> 00:22:51.294
Make your faith shine on us that we may be saved.
00:22:51.294 --> 00:22:55.498
Folks, that's the only way
00:22:55.498 --> 00:22:57.099
Crying out to god i think we're seeing right now
00:22:57.099 --> 00:22:59.802
Is john rich and greg.
00:22:59.802 --> 00:23:01.003
Larry and i just discussed tonight the seeds of revival.
00:23:01.003 --> 00:23:04.040
It's growing and spreading, but we've got to keep the foot
00:23:04.040 --> 00:23:07.143
On the gas, continue to turn our faces to the lord.
00:23:07.143 --> 00:23:10.379
Your god.
00:23:10.379 --> 00:23:11.280
And hey, tomorrow,
00:23:11.280 --> 00:23:13.015
Jim hansen is here, great middle east security analyst
00:23:13.015 --> 00:23:15.718
And our good friend, joel rosenberg.
00:23:15.718 --> 00:23:17.753
Busy week in the middle east. a lot happening.
00:23:17.753 --> 00:23:19.956
They're going to break it down for us tomorrow night.
00:23:19.956 --> 00:23:22.258
Until then, god bless you.
00:23:22.258 --> 00:23:24.794
We'll see you soon.
00:23:24.794 --> 00:23:24.794
