Fight Laugh Feast Holy Wars Panel w/ Doug Wilson [CrossPolitic Show]

How did America go from a church on every corner to a culture in free fall? Live at Fight Laugh Feast's Holy Wars conference, Gabe "Waterboy" Rench sits down with Pastor Doug Wilson for a panel and audience Q&A. They cover a church that is Christian enough to dislike what's happening but not repentant enough to say "Christ over all," where America really turned, Boomers and Zoomers, raising children who aren't "breeders for the secularists," and why AI may be the next great idol.
