Summary
CrossPolitic — Show Notes: America's 250th Birthday Special On this Fourth of July special, Gabe, Pastor Toby, Knox, and Steve Deace gather to mark America's 250th birthday — not with blind celebration, but with honest reckoning and confident hope. Gabe walks through 15 ways America has been conquered not by guns but by cultural war, from forgetting its Christian founding to pastors who preached niceness over faithfulness. Steve calls for revival-or-bust thinking and eulogizes Charlie Kirk's missional courage. Knox opens Nehemiah and calls for four months of mourning, fasting, and repentance before the wall gets built. And Toby reminds us that the same God who marched slaves out of Egypt with Pharaoh's chariots sinking behind them is still Lord of armies — and he doesn't need our numbers.
