🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Johnson announces the government shutdown should be officially over TONIGHT, then they're moving on to important legislative business 👏

MAGA Mike HELD THE LINE!

"We believe the long national nightmare will be over TONIGHT! It was completely and utterly foolish and pointless in the end."

"I just want to apologize for Americans who still have flight cancellations or delays. Those made to go hungry. Troops and federal employees wondering when their next paycheck is coming. All of that is on the Democrats."

"Just never forget, they voted 15 times between the House and the Senate to close your government. And the Republicans tried every single day of the shutdown to open it. And we voted 15 times to do that."

"They have a lot to answer for. And I just want to say that we're very optimistic about the vote tally tonight. We think this is going to happen. And we're sorry that it took this long."

"So, Republicans are going to deliver for the people. We're ready to get back to our legislative agenda. We have a very aggressive calendar for the remainder of this year."

I was fired, as a pastor, on Sunday.

(Yes, I was fired last year, on the Lord’s Day, too. Baptists are big on ‘works of necessity’ like ‘muzzling an ox in the ditch.’)

In the past five years, as a pastor, I’ve been fired from three churches, and resigned from a fourth amidst calls for my termination. In every case, I was fired for upsetting the “church ladies” (often, of both sexes). Time and again, these ladies have pressed their husbands, deacons, and elders to put me under discipline; to force me into a struggle session where I must apologize for offending them, grovel for a second chance, and agree to all kinds of restrictions on what I can say and do. Once I refuse these sinful, controlling demands, they inevitably demand my head on a platter…and the ‘church ladies’ ALWAYS get what they want.

I’m seeing a lot of solid discussion, right now, addressing the epidemic of cucked church leaders who put good men under church discipline for fake “sin,” while ignoring the real sins of women, all in an effort to keep the ‘church ladies’ happy. As a pastor, I represent the other side of this equation. What we must understand is that, at present, there is virtually NO PLACE in evangelicalism for ANY uncucked man, whether he be a pastor or a parishioner. I can just about count, on my twenty fingers and toes, the number of exceptions that I’m personally familiar with.

Regarding my most recent pastorate, which began in January. I was opposed, from week one, by one elder, and his wife. They voted for me to come, and then turned around and passive-aggressively protested me for six straight months, on account of reading some internet slander about me. They didn’t invite us into their home once in six months. We had them in our home multiple times. They treated my wife like she had leprosy, and wouldn’t even look at me while I preached. When I confronted him, he denied having any issue. When I confronted him a second time, he slandered me to the entire church and destroyed my reputation before he left. Others left with him, and he left me to preach to scowls and frowns for the past four months. He slandered me around town, too, to the point that I was even denied pulpit supply by a sister church up the street.

The remaining elder was in my corner…until I offended his wife. She had a nasty habit of rudely interrupting her husband and angrily correcting him in public. On one occasion, he and I were discussing a matter, when she barged in uninvited, and cut him off mid-sentence. Rather than redirect my attention to her, I kept my attention on my co-elder, waiting for him to finish his thoughts. I wasn’t rude about. Just principled. I showed him the due respect his own wife refused to show him. She became irate, and a week later, he demanded I apologize to his wife. Because they’re my parents’ age, I offered an explanation, and gentle correction, but no apology. I thought the matter was closed. Little did I know, it was simmering in both their hearts, for several months.

Fast forward to two weeks ago; another church lady discovered I had invited a small group of (3) men to my house, as a personal outreach, where we enjoyed some beer and cigars while talking shop (discipleship). This was not a church event. It was not promoted on the church website or Facebook page. It was something I was doing on my own time, on my own dime, and with the other elder’s permission. In fact, he expressly asked me to, “keep it separate from the church.” Which I did.

This disgruntled elder and his wife seized on this moment, calling an urgent members’ meeting where all the church ladies could come together to voice their “concerns”:

“Why were no women invited?”

“Was this an ‘anti-female’ meeting?”

“Who gave you permission to have this men’s meeting in your home?”

“You can’t have beer and cigars in the parsonage…it’s church property.”

The other elder knew I enjoyed the occasional beer and cigar, and had no issue with it. (He and his wife drink wine, routinely.) Rather than defend me and help me keep my job, this vindictive elder and his wife used this proxy issue to turn the entire church against me and get me fired.
They’ve given us 30 days to vacate the parsonage, while taking away the income we need to qualify for renting or buying a home. Not being content to take away our income and housing. They went after our marriage, as well. Days before I was fired, this elder’s wife sent my wife a long text message which slandered me and sought to convince my wife she’s in an abusive marriage and should seek help.

I don’t use the word lightly, but my wife is genuinely traumatized. She is heartbroken. She’s been battling cancer and chronic illness. The stress of being kicked to the curb again, by “church family,” has triggered a serious case of shingles in her face, neck, and head. Please pray that it doesn’t spread to her eyes, which can cause blindness.

For ten months straight, I tried everything to revitalize this declining church; neighborhood visitation, social media ads, single’s mixers, fellowship meals, branding, new signs, etc. I didn’t miss a single Sunday in the pulpit, including while my wife spent a week in the hospital for a difficult surgery. The one thing that got any traction was reaching out to men with a vision for an uncucked church. As it turns out, that was the one thing that I wasn’t allowed to do.
In just a couple of weeks of spreading the word, I had about fifteen men interested in participating in my men’s fellowship. I sold my shotgun to pay for the beer and cigars. This past Saturday, two of those men called me to say they were bringing their families to join us for Sunday worship. Sadly, I had to tell them that my church was voting to fire me on Sunday. So, instead, we all went, together, to a different church where God’s Word, and not the church ladies, reign supreme.

Naturally, there’s a lot more to this saga. I intend to give a full account of everything that transpired, but first, I’ve got to go find a place to live and start earning an income.

I have made a vow to my wife that I will never again be dependent on a pay check from a church that is controlled by the sinful passions of unruly women. By my estimate, that’s most churches. I want to issue a call to young men, today – Do not give your strength to churches ruled over by cucked men and clucking hens. They will despise you for your strength and seek to castrate you. If you refuse to play ball, they’ll come for reputation, your marriage and family.

Find a godly church with godly pastors who have proven to be unflinching in the face of feminism, and let’s change the game.

Now that Charlie is dead, ALL of these people find the “courage” to address his comments.

These people are cowards who let their feelings (emotions) shape their lives.

The Turning Point Board has unanimously elected Erika Kirk as the new CEO and Chair of the Board.

In prior discussions, Charlie expressed to multiple executives that this is what he wanted in the event of his death.

[Leone Combs @leonecombs]

It is evident you say, “ No thank you Jesus.” You reject His Word, His truth, and who He is.

"Now we got Jesus, whose NOT a very 'family values' guy in the scripture, telling us to hate our parents."

Also the last minute is wild, as this Lutheran impastor DOESN'T want people to "pick up their cross and follow Jesus" because "I hate these scriptures."
