Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Dr. Paul Hall, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Pastor Ron Greer

Guests, Dr. Pamela and Scott Pyle on The Christian Church Retreat from American Politics

Friends,
We are all looking forward to having Dr. Pamela and Scott Pyle back with us this week!
As part of our RE family, they are such a blessing to everyone!

We are going to have a discussion concerning the “secret agenda of the enemy” and the “good news we can share!” Insights, encouragement and assurance will flow from hearing about God’s faithfulness and powerful presence in our lives as we hear from Dr. Pamela and Scott!

Join us and tune in with friends to listen and watch- God has encouragement and a blessing just for you!

On this episode of Raising Expectations, you'll find a profound discussion featuring guests Scott and Pamela Pyle. The conversation centers on the urgent need for the Christian Church to re-engage with American politics, governance, and holistic health to counter systemic "engines of harm" and restore the nation's foundational values.

The Conflict of Systems: Engines of Harm vs. Good
The discussion identifies a systemic "engine of harm" built over decades by specific billionaires and political actors who have weaponized the U.S. Treasury and institutions like education. Scott Pyle highlights how approximately $14 trillion in debt was pushed through this engine to redistribute tax dollars and buy out cultural institutions. Furthermore, USAID funds were allegedly perverted to pressure developing nations into adopting extreme leftist ideologies. In response, the group advocates for an "engine of good," where aligned faith organizations utilize federal and private grants to promote human flourishing and the "two hands of the Gospel"—combining compassionate acts with the spoken Word.

Historical Decline and the Church's Retreat
The participants trace the current state of the U.S. government back to the Woodrow Wilson era, specifically the 17th Amendment, which they argue weakened the states' ability to check federal power. They contend that the Church's retreat from the public square—surrendering the care of widows and orphans to the government in the mid-20th century—created a vacuum filled by secular and Marxist ideologies. Ron Grier notes that the Church has become "biblically illiterate," allowing counterfeit rhetoric to infiltrate seminaries and pulpits, leading to a generation of believers who are hesitant to vote or speak on social issues.

Leadership, Health, and National Security
Despite the critiques, the guests express optimism regarding the presence of "deeply faithful believers" within the current administration's cabinet. The conversation shifts to holistic health as a national security issue, highlighting the mission of figures like RFK Jr. (referred to as Secretary Kennedy in context) to combat chemical dependency, protect sustainable farming, and ensure food security for children. The group views these efforts as a manifestation of God’s created order, requiring the Church to support leaders who prioritize the physical and spiritual well-being of the next generation.

The Call to Awakening
Drawing parallels to The Great Awakening led by George Whitefield, Pastor Joe emphasizes that national change begins with a change of heart. The team urges Christians to move beyond "three-point Sunday sermons" and live out their faith throughout the week. They advocate for biblical voting—putting personality aside to support principles—and maintaining unity among believers to ensure that America remains a beacon of hope for the world.

The message is clear: the Church must wake up and reclaim its rightful place in the community and the state. By combining fervent prayer with active civic participation and a commitment to holistic health, believers can ensure that the "Great Awakening" continues to shape the future of America.
