On the Brian Maples Podcast (September 23, 2025), Brian Maples addresses a nation on edge and a church confused about how to respond. Triggered by the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk and escalating political violence, this episode confronts what Brian describes as a decade-long pattern of deception from the left and examines the spiritual, moral, and practical consequences for believers and the country.

Brian lays out specific examples he sees as consistent lies—everything from Russian-collusion narratives and the Hunter Biden laptop response to skewed job and crime statistics—and connects those patterns to broader cultural and political movements, including Antifa and prior unrest. He argues these falsehoods have real-world costs, contributing to violence, corruption, and social decay.

Framing the conversation in Scripture, Brian walks through passages (Romans 12:9, Matthew 23, John 8) to explain how Christians can simultaneously love people while rejecting and exposing evil. He challenges common church responses that, in his view, enable harmful ideologies by confusing compassion with permissiveness, and he calls out false teaching that demands unconditional tolerance of destructive behavior.

The episode tackles hot-button issues like immigration, church hypocrisy, and political unity, offering practical guidance: love the person, reject the ideology; educate congregations; discern false teachers; and consider mission-focused outreach rather than uncritical acceptance. Brian issues a call for repentance and clarity—inviting those who renounce violent or deceptive leftist ideology to come to Christ, while urging believers to stand firm in truth and to protect the nation’s moral purpose.

Closing with a mixture of warning and hope, Brian prays for national revival, accountability for evil, and a renewed commitment by Christians to expand the kingdom of God in truth and love—arguing that America still has a God-given role to hold back darkness and spread the gospel.
