My post about Chip and Joanna Gaines is still climbing so I need to say this while the conversation is open.
Paul already told you this was coming.
2 Timothy 4:3 says "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears."
Read that slowly.
It does not say the teachers go bad first. It says the people go looking.
Heap to themselves teachers. That word HEAP means they go shopping for voices that confirm what their flesh already wants to believe. And when a celebrity with millions of followers and a wholesome brand starts to bend, the crowd follows because they were already looking for permission.
That's the mechanism nobody wants to name.
The church did not get blindsided by Jen Hatmaker. A Christ-professing audience went looking for people who would tell them what their flesh already wanted to hear. The church did not get blindsided by the Gaines family either. The celebrities just delivered what the audience was already shopping for.
And it runs the same cycle every time.
First a Christian public figure builds trust through wholesome content and clean living with Scripture woven through everything they do. The audience feels safe around them. Then slowly the Scripture disappears and the content shifts to inspiration and positivity and generic spirituality where the cross gets replaced with good vibes. Then a cultural pressure point arrives, whether it's gay marriage or transgenderism or whatever issue where the Bible draws a hard line and the culture demands you erase it. The celebrity either stays silent or makes a carefully worded statement that sounds compassionate but contradicts Scripture. And the audience that was already looking for permission takes that statement and runs. "See? Even Chip and Joanna think so." Then anyone who pushes back gets labeled legalistic, judgmental, unloving.
And it will happen again next year with a different name and a different face.
Because the problem was never the celebrity. The problem is a church that has been trained to follow personalities instead of Scripture.
Jeremiah 17:5 says "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD."
You were never supposed to build your faith on a television personality. You were never supposed to look to a home renovation show for theological direction. You were never supposed to need a famous Christian to give you permission to believe what the Bible already said.
The Bible is sufficient. It has always been sufficient.
The man who reads his KJV and believes what it says and does not need a celebrity to validate it will never be shaken by these moments. But the one who heaps to themselves teachers with itching ears will be carried away every single time.
Paul wrote that to Timothy two thousand years ago and it describes your timeline today.
Open your Bible. Stay in your Bible.
If Graham Platner committed rape five years ago in Maine, why is no one demanding he be charged with rape? The statute of limitations is, crazily, twenty years in Maine. The alleged rape was five years ago. Yet no one is demanding charges. Or even an investigation. Why is that?
Laotian national Tou Lue Vang was convicted of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota.
He was set to be deported until @GovTimWalz issued him a pardon.
Then, I revoked his legal status. @ICEgov has removed him from the U.S. and he will never endanger another American.
If we want America’s sovereignty to endure for another 250 years and beyond, it is critical that we pass the SAVE America Act and end birthright citizenship.
We stopped the world’s economy for a virus 99.9% of people survive and we printed $7 trillion in unbacked currency while we did it.
This is how it is now. That toothpaste doesn’t go back in the tube. Sorry. Some of us tried to stop it.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Jesus looked down from the cross and saw every sin you would ever commit. And chose to die anyway. That is not religion. That is love that has no limit.
The communist always must destroy your history. History is what attaches you to something. Memories make a home. The communist attacks your history to unmoor you from your home, so you won’t fight him when he demolishes it and renovates it in his image.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights."
Words that revolutionized the world. The product of great men who chose patriotism and courage in the face of impossible odds.
250 years later, we stand on the shoulders of the giants who created the greatest nation ever known to mankind. 🇺🇸
The temperature in New York City on July 3rd, 1966 was 103 degrees.
The temperature in New York City on July 3rd, 2026 is 97 degrees.
At what point is our country finally going to have a serious conversation about global cooling?
🚨 BOOM! SPENCER PRATT JUST DROPPED THIS LINE ON MAYOR MAMDANI:
"The communist doesn’t think to increase the quality of the grid. The communist demands that you decrease the quality of your life. They make you ration the things that every other American gets to enjoy. Every single time."
💯💯
He's right. Mamdani wants everyone to suffer and raise their thermostats so the elites have the power they need.
Communism will LOSE nationwide 🇺🇸 @spencerpratt
Help me out here, Kathy. You’re saying the electric grid can’t handle ACs in the summer, but you also want everyone to replace their gasoline cars with electric vehicles. How does that work?
