=== Why Christian Colonization Is Biblical (08:34) ===

[00:00:00]  And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you.
[00:00:10]  Ask what you can do for your country.
[00:00:28]  This week on American Grid, I'll talk about why Christian colonization is not only good, but biblical and necessary.
[00:00:34]  In my weekly audit, I'll explain why it's wise to not let your daughters attend nightclubs and take public transportation.
[00:00:40]  We'll also see why liberal women aren't having children.
[00:00:43]  And I'll show you that Sesame Street is trying to make your kids comfortable with foreigners.
[00:00:48]  All that and more coming up right now.
[00:01:04]  Welcome to American Grit.
[00:01:05]  This is season one on American Identity.
[00:01:08]  I'm your host, Dale Partridge.
[00:01:10]  This episode is titled A Biblical Defense for Christian Colonization and How It Settled the West.
[00:01:16]  Now, each season, I'm going to be covering an American theme with about eight episodes.
[00:01:20]  Now, in the last episode, I answered one of the nation's most urgent questions What is an American?
[00:01:26]  And over the next few weeks, I'm going to be covering topics like the pre war and the post war consensus, the Hart Cellar Act, and national suicide that's happening in the West, as well as how all of this intersects with the topic of Of Christian nationalism.
[00:01:40]  Now, today, we need to get clear on this word that every liberal hates colonization.
[00:01:46]  And by the end of this episode, I hope that you feel it's your Christian duty to colonize this nation and your nation, wherever you are, and every other nation across the world for the virtues and values of Christianity.
[00:01:59]  So let's begin.
[00:02:03]  You cannot have a love for America and hate European colonization.
[00:02:10]  Because America is the direct product of European colonization.
[00:02:14]  Now, yes, much of North America was empty, wilderness, but it was also occupied by some scattered tribes of indigenous pagans engaged in constant warfare, often practicing human sacrifice, including the ritual killing of babies and children to their sun gods and their other demons.
[00:02:34]  European settlers, primarily the British Christians, they took that raw, untamed land and systematically transformed it into.
[00:02:43]  Western Christian civilization built on biblical principles.
[00:02:46]  And out of that effort rose the strongest and most prosperous and most free nation the world has ever seen.
[00:02:54]  Now, in an article on National Geographic titled, What is Colonization? or What is Colonialism?
[00:03:01]  My bad.
[00:03:02]  How the exploitative practice shaped the world.
[00:03:07]  The author writes this Colonial powers justified their conquest by claiming they had a legal and religious obligation to control the land.
[00:03:16]  And the culture of indigenous peoples.
[00:03:18]  Conquering nation states saw themselves as civilizing barbaric or savage countries, they argued, were acting in the best interests of those they exploited.
[00:03:31]  Now, you might remember that famous scene from Disney's Pocahontas, right?
[00:03:36]  Where John Smith is there and he says, There's so much we can teach you.
[00:03:41]  We've improved the lives of savages all over the world.
[00:03:44]  Savages?
[00:03:46]  Now, the producers tried to frame that line as arrogant and evil, but historically speaking, it's true, right?
[00:03:53]  The British Empire and Western colonization in general brought literacy and medicine and infrastructure and the rule of law and the gospel, of course, to countless places that had known very little but tribal warfare, superstition, idolatry, and brutality.
[00:04:09]  Now, we literally took, I mean, if you just think about it for a second, we literally took a savage society.
[00:04:16]  A barbaric and savage society, and we turn them into decent, Christ honoring, dignified lands.
[00:04:23]  And I use the word dignified very intentionally.
[00:04:27]  Western culture is a dignified culture.
[00:04:32]  And this is something that I think we have to understand.
[00:04:36]  You know, let me bring some clarity to this.
[00:04:39]  Dignity flows from the Christian doctrine of the Imago Dei, the belief that every human being is made in the image of God.
[00:04:47]  Now, I remember a very powerful sermon.
[00:04:51]  By the late Vodie Bakum.
[00:04:52]  Still can't believe that guy has passed away.
[00:04:54]  But he was a black pastor born in America who later lived in Zambia.
[00:04:58]  And he once pointed out something that struck him as strange.
[00:05:02]  In Africa, people walk around everywhere, yet there are rarely sidewalks anywhere.
[00:05:08]  In America, people rarely walk anywhere, yet we have sidewalks everywhere.
[00:05:13]  And he realized that sidewalks are an expression of Christian dignity.
[00:05:19]  African culture, by comparison, is simply not as a dignified culture as Western Christian culture.
[00:05:26]  Now, the same principle shows up in everyday life.
[00:05:29]  I recently watched a fashion designer.
[00:05:33]  He was lamenting about the death of classy clothing.
[00:05:36]  And he noted that even factory workers used to wear tucked in collared shirts, jackets, hats.
[00:05:42]  Today, much of the population wanders around in pajamas and looks like they just rolled out of Walmart.
[00:05:48]  And again, not because they're poor.
[00:05:51]  Some of them are, but not because they're poor, but because they've literally lost any sense of their own inherent value and dignity.
[00:05:59]  It's been stripped away from them in this like, Apocalyptic, dark culture.
[00:06:07]  Now, once you see it, you're not going to be able to unsee it.
[00:06:10]  You know, why don't we build the grand architecture of the past anymore?
[00:06:15]  Because we've lost our cultural dignity.
[00:06:17]  Why have we abandoned so many of the beautiful customs and standards and manners of previous generations?
[00:06:24]  Well, because we've lost our cultural dignity.
[00:06:27]  As one theologian famously said, we are in love with the beauty of the world they built.
[00:06:35]  But we reject the worldview that produced it.
[00:06:38]  I think another person, I can't remember who said this one, but he said something like, We cannot have what they had unless we believe what they believed.
[00:06:46]  And the reality is that we don't.
[00:06:48]  We don't believe what they believed.
[00:06:49]  We don't believe what the Western European society of 150 plus years ago believed.
[00:06:56]  And what the colonizers believed is, and this is really what built the West, was that Jesus Christ is saving the world through the advancement of his kingdom.
[00:07:05]  And that wasn't just a spiritual kingdom, colonialism was.
[00:07:10]  Viewed as expanding and establishing the kingdom of God on earth.
[00:07:15]  It's why we called it Christendom, right?
[00:07:18]  Until we recover that biblical worldview, we're never again going to enjoy a truly dignified society.
[00:07:26]  We're not going to have these cathedrals again.
[00:07:28]  We're not going to have this beautiful architecture and beautiful cities that we're trying to build heaven on earth because we don't have the eschatology to support that.
[00:07:37]  We are heavily saturated in dispensational.
[00:07:42]  Premillennialism that essentially says that it's only going to get worse.
[00:07:47]  And in fact, the faster it gets worse, the faster it worsens, the better it is, because that's the sooner that Christ is coming back.
[00:07:55]  And so it's this kind of dark, dank culture that just gets worse and worse and worse under that perspective.
[00:08:04]  And Christians have bought into that.
[00:08:05]  And that is not the worldview or eschatology that previous generations had had.
[00:08:11]  I actually did a sermon series at our church.
[00:08:15]  It's like a seven part series on eschatology.
[00:08:17]  You can find it on YouTube and check it out.
[00:08:19]  But it walks us through what we call an optimistic eschatology.
[00:08:24]  Now, again, so you can't talk about colonialism without talking about one of the most idiotic phrases of our time.

=== The Myth of Stolen Land (02:33) ===

[00:08:34]  We're living on stolen land.
[00:08:37]  Now, it's a tiring argument because it's literally just so hard to keep laughing at it every time.
[00:08:43]  I mean, like your stomach starts to hurt when you laugh at it as much as you need to laugh at it because unfortunately, It's just a foolish argument.
[00:08:51]  But that being said, many people, especially liberal women and third world immigrants, they actually think it's true.
[00:08:59]  Jeff Flynn, he wrote a really great book.
[00:09:02]  He's the associate professor of global history economics at the University of Leiden.
[00:09:07]  He wrote an excellent book called Not Stolen The Truth About European Colonialism in the New World.
[00:09:14]  Now, in that book, he dispels much of the myths of European colonialism, including how we acquired the United States.
[00:09:22]  Now, he says, and I'm paraphrasing here, but roughly 40 to 41 percent of the current United States territory was acquired through legitimate purchases.
[00:09:32]  You know, from foreign powers.
[00:09:34]  The Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803, Alaska from Russia in 1867, Florida from Spain, and the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico.
[00:09:47]  I believe that was 1848.
[00:09:48]  I mean, much of the rest of the United States came through formal treaties, such as the Oregon Territory Settlement with Britain.
[00:09:58]  You had the post Revolutionary War agreements, like the Treaty of Guadalupe and Hidalgo.
[00:10:02]  That's actually in 1848.
[00:10:05]  And this ended the Mexican American War and it transferred much of the Southwest.
[00:10:12]  I mean, you're talking about California, Arizona, New Mexico, even more northern territories to the United States for about $15 million.
[00:10:22]  And as for the land involving indigenous tribes, it was transferred through hundreds of ratified treaties, outright purchases, conquest.
[00:10:32]  In other words, the United States was acquired exactly the same way.
[00:10:36]  That empires, kingdoms, and tribes have acquired and established new nations throughout all of human history.
[00:10:43]  So, to single out America as uniquely stolen, it's really just a form of historical illiteracy.
[00:10:52]  If America is stolen, then so is Uganda from Batwa, and so is Colombia from the Amusca and the other indigenous peoples who migrated and warred for territory long before the Spanish came there.

[00:11:08]  Okay, if anything, America.
[00:11:10]  For its vast size, it is actually one of the least brutal territorial acquisitions in the history of acquisitions and probably one of the most dignified settlements.

=== Great Commission and Nations (06:27) ===

[00:13:22]  It's one of those conversations that's so important, and many people are not willing to have.
[00:13:27]  I lay the case out fully, clearly, unapologetically.
[00:13:31]  And depending on when you're watching this, you can either pre order or you can order your copy now at newchristianright.com forward slash 19.
[00:13:40]  Again, that's newchristianright.com forward slash 19.
[00:13:44]  So go grab yourself a shirt, pre order the book, help us build something that actually pushes back.
[00:13:50]  All right, let's get back into it.
[00:13:51]  I mean, we gave the Indian tribes reservations.
[00:13:56]  I mean, who conquers a land?
[00:13:59]  And instead of like Eliminating them, especially when they're like an inferior people in the sense of they had no power and no strength.
[00:14:08]  I mean, we literally showed up on boats with guns and, you know, horses and technology, and they're sitting there in huts.
[00:14:15]  Who gives people like that, an inferior enemy, sovereign land, citizenship, and then trillions of dollars in aid?
[00:14:27]  European colonialist Christians do.
[00:14:29]  Okay.
[00:14:30]  So even in war, And conquest.
[00:14:36]  We are restrained by conscience, law, and the belief that every soul has dignity before God.
[00:14:45]  And so colonialism is not opposed to Christianity.
[00:14:51]  No, I actually think that colonialism or colonization is the proper outworking of Christianity.
[00:14:57]  Now, you might be wondering how could I root this argument in Scripture?
[00:15:01]  Well, Jesus says in Matthew 28 18 through 20, He says, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
[00:15:09]  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
[00:15:18]  And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age.
[00:15:22]  Now, that command, many, you know, it's the Great Commission, and it says, Make disciples of all nations.
[00:15:31]  And that has driven much of Western expansion for centuries.
[00:15:37]  Now, you might be wondering, But Dale, right?
[00:15:40]  It doesn't say disciple nations.
[00:15:43]  It says make disciples of the nations, right?
[00:15:46]  Shouldn't we be evangelizing people in these nations, not colonizing these people?
[00:15:52]  I've heard this argument, all right?
[00:15:53]  Well, first, colonization is a form of discipleship.
[00:15:59]  But this is where people get it wrong.
[00:16:02]  In the original Greek, it actually does say disciple the nations.
[00:16:07]  In fact, the Geneva Bible, Whose first edition is published in 1560.
[00:16:11]  In fact, right over here in my office, I have a first edition of the 1560 Geneva Bible hanging on my wall.
[00:16:20]  Not the whole Bible, but a few pages from it.
[00:16:24]  And this is the same Bible that came over on the Mayflower, and it translates the Greek more accurately.
[00:16:31]  It reads Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
[00:16:42]  Now, when you diagram the sentence in the Greek, you quickly realize that the object of the pronoun them in the phrase baptizing them is actually the word nations.
[00:16:54]  There's no other noun for it to refer to.
[00:16:57]  And so, what that means is that scripture says that we are to teach all the nations and baptize all the nations, not just individuals, but nations.
[00:17:09]  And again, this really is supportive of the Christian nationalistic framework when you look at it through the lens of the Great Commission.
[00:17:15]  Now, why is this important?
[00:17:17]  Well, because Christian explorers, settlers, missionaries, they believed that they were obeying Christ by colonizing nations through evangelism, but also through establishing Christian law, through education, Christian liberty in lands that had never known such Christian virtues.
[00:17:34]  In fact, the Great Commission marked what is called the Age of Discovery.
[00:17:40]  In fact, the 15th century Catholic popes laid out a religious justification for colonization, they issued a series of papal bulls.
[00:17:49]  Now known as the doctrine of discovery.
[00:17:52]  And so when we look at men like Columbus, right, his motivation went far beyond trade and fame and getting spices from the Indies.
[00:18:06]  He wrote repeatedly that his mission was to spread the gospel of Christ to unknown peoples and to prepare the world for Christ's return.
[00:18:16]  Dr. George Grant wrote an excellent book called The Last Crusader The Untold Story of Christopher Columbus.
[00:18:23]  In that book, he demonstrates the immense connection that Columbus had with his Christian faith.
[00:18:32]  Columbus once said, It was the Lord who put into my mind the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies.
[00:18:42]  All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me.
[00:18:48]  There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit because he comforted me with rays of marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures.
[00:18:58]  Now, later he said that he viewed his expedition as fulfilling Matthew 24 14, which says, And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
[00:19:16]  In his later writings, he saw really the flow of remaining history in three parts.
[00:19:23]  He saw first that the gospel must reach the whole world, second, the Holy Land must be reclaimed by the church, not by the Jews.
[00:19:32]  Third, Christ would then come back in glory.
[00:19:37]  And he also said that the funds earned from the discovery of the New World would be partly invested to reclaim Jerusalem and overthrow Muslim power in the East.

=== Bringing Faith Into Physical World (15:12) ===

[00:19:50]  And so this is just one example of the many, you know, correlated with this Great Commission focus of colonization.
[00:20:00]  Another example, You know, was the Spanish conquistadors.
[00:20:04]  They were required by royal decree to read aloud a formal document that in English would be called the requirement to these indigenous people upon first contact with them.
[00:20:19]  And this proclamation declared that the Pope had essentially granted the King and the Queen of Spain dominion over the New World, and it demanded that the natives immediately submit to the Spanish rule and allow Christian missionaries to preach the gospel or Face a just war, essentially conquest, slavery, and the seizure of their lands.
[00:20:39]  So, the question today isn't whether colonization is good.
[00:20:46]  It's how Christians can embrace the work of colonization, or in our case, in the West, the work of recolonization.
[00:20:55]  So, here's the truth everybody colonizes, right?
[00:21:02]  Islam is actively attempting to colonize Europe and the United States.
[00:21:09]  Hindus are actively.
[00:21:12]  Trying to colonize Texas.
[00:21:13]  I was reading stories about there was a variety of moms that were talking about towns just outside of Texas, out of Dallas, Texas, that eight out of 10 children there are now Hindu.
[00:21:28]  There was the gentleman that was in a Christian church around the Dallas area, and he made a statement something like, I want my kids to grow up in America, I don't want them to grow up in India.
[00:21:39]  And his pastors got all upset because, you know, we're supposed to be all about multiculturalism.
[00:21:44]  And that was a big deal.
[00:21:45]  I think that was maybe six months ago or a year ago.
[00:21:48]  And so it's happening in a variety of places all across the United States.
[00:21:54]  We saw the gays and the trannies try to colonize the United States between 2016 and 2023, probably right around there.
[00:22:06]  And I mean, do you remember like the gay rainbow on the White House and they were having the rainbow flag?
[00:22:15]  At the FBI headquarters, and we had Pride Months that were like going all over the United States, and companies were buying in.
[00:22:23]  And that is truly a form of colonization.
[00:22:27]  It was homosexual colonization.
[00:22:30]  And so you either colonize or you'll be colonized, you either govern or you will be governed, you lead or you submit.
[00:22:42]  Those are the options.
[00:22:43]  I often say, If you reject Christian nationalism, you will have Islamic nationalism.
[00:22:51]  It's not whether you're going to live in some colonized religious nation, but who is going to colonize it and for what religion.
[00:23:02]  The myth of secular neutrality is, I think, finally going away.
[00:23:09]  The idea of a tolerant and diverse and multicultural society where everyone can coexist is a sham.
[00:23:17]  I think what we're realizing right now is that.
[00:23:22]  Multiculturalism is essentially a synonym for civil war.
[00:23:28]  Have you ever wondered why, over thousands of years of recorded history, there's never been a multicultural nation?
[00:23:38]  Because they don't work.
[00:23:40]  They just don't work.
[00:23:41]  It's one of these things that, as a pastor, I want to often go back into time.
[00:23:46]  I want to look and I want to find out what the reformers think about this particular.
[00:23:50]  You know, basis, right?
[00:23:53]  These particular issues that we're fighting today.
[00:23:55]  The problem is, I can't.
[00:23:57]  I can't go back to Luther or to Calvin or Aquinas or the early church or Chrysostom.
[00:24:03]  I can't go back there and find out what they think about multicultural nations because multicultural nations don't exist at that time.
[00:24:10]  It's like trying to figure out what they thought about transgenderism or mass homosexuality or, you know, feminism.
[00:24:18]  I don't know.
[00:24:18]  Like, they don't exist.
[00:24:20]  These are modern problems.
[00:24:23]  And as a result, we are the first generation having to bring to bear good theology on this matter.
[00:24:32]  I'm actually working on a book on this topic.
[00:24:39]  And really, it's called God's Design for Nations.
[00:24:42]  And I'm going to give a biblical argument and interpretation about ethnicity and culture and American Christian nationalism.
[00:24:51]  It probably won't come out for maybe another six months or so.
[00:24:55]  But this work needs to get done.
[00:24:57]  I mean, Stephen Wolfe did a great book, The Case for Christian Nationalism, where he talks about this.
[00:25:04]  But we need like 40 more books on the topic to get out into the hands of many people so that we can have discussions around this particular issue.
[00:25:12]  So, how do we recolonize?
[00:25:16]  Well, first, at the root, I think all of our motives have to begin with Christ.
[00:25:23]  I often post on X on Sunday mornings we can't save America unless America is saved, right?
[00:25:30]  Go to church.
[00:25:32]  In other words, all colonization is ultimately religious.
[00:25:36]  And if you Are not deeply settled in Christian theology.
[00:25:42]  Your efforts to shape culture or build a society will be driven by something else, right?
[00:25:47]  Philosophy or politics or personal ambition.
[00:25:50]  And we have to be a people so saturated in the gospel that our desire to influence or to even dominate a land flows from the cross.
[00:26:07]  From power, nostalgia, but from a burning desire to see Christ honored in every sphere of life.
[00:26:17]  That needs to be the motivation for the root at our recolonizational efforts, if that's a word.
[00:26:26]  Second, we cannot be Gnostics.
[00:26:30]  Gnosticism reduces Christianity to a purely spiritual, Inward religion that has no real impact on the physical world.
[00:26:43]  Okay, it creates what I call like quiet Christianity.
[00:26:47]  It treats the body, the culture, the government, the material life as unimportant or out of focus for the kind of redeemable aspect of the gospel.
[00:27:01]  And so this is why modern churches often feel really focused on emotion.
[00:27:10]  Than action.
[00:27:11]  When emotional experiences become the primary measure of spiritual maturity, then women naturally thrive in that environment.
[00:27:22]  And this shift has been one of the biggest reasons so many men have been absent from the church for decades, right?
[00:27:30]  Again, so if you have spiritual, if everything's spiritual, well, the closest way to manifest spiritual maturity is like emotion.
[00:27:41]  And if everything's emotion, and emotion is like, The way primarily that you demonstrate your maturity, well, again, which group of people thrive at that?
[00:27:50]  What's women?
[00:27:51]  And so, if your whole church service becomes an environment where maturity was measured and demonstrated by acting emotional or relational or sensitive, essentially acting like a woman, the men leave, right?
[00:28:08]  And that's what we've grown up in.
[00:28:10]  That's what we've grown up in.
[00:28:12]  And we don't really know another Christianity.
[00:28:17]  I wrote my book, The Manliness of Christ, to really help combat that idea that Jesus is like some gentle and lowly, only soft Jesus.
[00:28:33]  I wanted to give a more robust understanding of who Christ is, that ultimately Jesus is the most masculine man that has ever walked the earth.
[00:28:46]  He's the most bold, the most brave, the most courageous, the most intense.
[00:28:50]  But nobody ever teaches on those aspects of Christ.
[00:28:53]  And so, yeah, so my book, The Manliness of Christ, I went into that.
[00:28:56]  And it's a very important book, I think, for this generation of men.
[00:29:01]  But yes, effeminate Christianity is not historic Christianity.
[00:29:04]  Historic Christianity was strong, masculine, and conquering.
[00:29:08]  So, Gnosticism, what it does is it leaves the real world wide open for other religions and ideologies that understand.
[00:29:19]  That the spiritual must shape the physical, that your theology is going to come out of your fingertips.
[00:29:25]  And Muslims, for example, they apply Sharia law because they believe their faith should govern every area of life.
[00:29:33]  Yet, as Christians, we confess that Christ is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, he's sovereign over heaven and earth.
[00:29:43]  He's the Lord of the government and education and finance.
[00:29:46]  And we like to think these things, but we don't ever push those things into the real world.
[00:29:53]  Truly, as Abraham Kuyper famously declared, there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry, mine.
[00:30:10]  So, this is what is meant by living out the truth of this concept of all of Christ for all of life.
[00:30:21]  And so, we need to bring our Christianity into the physical world.
[00:30:27]  Okay, we need to bring it out of the spiritual and into the physical.
[00:30:31]  Now, we don't want to just become a physical because it's a spiritual reality.
[00:30:34]  So you can have two ditches in the road where it's like now you're talking about politics only and you're preaching out of the newspaper, and everything you talk about on the pulpit on Sunday is about politics.
[00:30:49]  And it's just you've forgotten the reality of the spiritual nature of the gospel.
[00:30:55]  And then you have the side that we're in currently, which is everything spiritual.
[00:31:00]  The church has really nothing to say to the state.
[00:31:03]  We should kind of keep quiet.
[00:31:06]  Faith is a private thing.
[00:31:08]  Those are the two ditches.
[00:31:09]  No, we need to embrace both.
[00:31:11]  We need to embrace the spiritual, we need to embrace the physical, and we need to do them balanced and well.
[00:31:18]  All right, third, colonization requires covenantal, multi generational commitment.
[00:31:27]  Now, just think about the great cathedrals of Europe.
[00:31:31]  Okay, many took centuries to build with generations of workers.
[00:31:37]  Uh, they're laboring on these structures that they would never see completed.
[00:31:44]  I mean, just think about that for a minute.
[00:31:46]  I mean, you're going to start the foundation of this thing, and it's going to take you 60 years to build the exterior walls of the first floor.
[00:31:55]  I don't know.
[00:31:57]  I mean, you're talking three, four, five.
[00:31:59]  I know the Cologne Cathedral took, I think, 600 years.
[00:32:03]  You know how many generations?
[00:32:06]  Never saw it fully completed, that worked on that.
[00:32:10]  Again, in contrast, today's radical individualism and dispensationalism, kind of the rapture fever, everybody's waiting to leave, right?
[00:32:22]  Instead of working, they're waiting, right?
[00:32:24]  It's produced a really short term mindset, and we have become a transient people, always ready to leave, always ready to move on.
[00:32:36]  Now we got cars and airplanes.
[00:32:39]  Instagram shows us a really beautiful place, and we're going to move from one place to another.
[00:32:42]  We're always, again, ready to leave.
[00:32:44]  We're rarely willing to plant deep roots anywhere because there's another opportunity and another thing.
[00:32:49]  And we essentially act like globalists, we don't act like localists.
[00:32:55]  And as a result, we struggle to build anything of lasting substance because we're constantly moving on.
[00:33:01]  While we look at Europe and while we look at the old world and we go, wow, how beautiful it was.
[00:33:08]  I wish we could have that.
[00:33:09]  And you're like, well, you can't have that if you move every four years.
[00:33:12]  You've got to plant roots, and then you've got to have your kids plant roots, and you've got to have your grandkids plant roots.
[00:33:19]  I always tell people wherever you move, you're moving your grandkids, you're moving your great grandkids, you're moving your ancestors wherever you move.
[00:33:26]  And you have to teach that multi generationally because you can't take over towns for Christ if you keep moving.
[00:33:33]  That's what we're doing here in Prescott, Arizona.
[00:33:35]  We're trying to take over this town for Christ.
[00:33:40]  And it's not going to happen in 10 years.
[00:33:42]  It's going to take.
[00:33:43]  100, maybe 150.
[00:33:45]  But that's why we're building schools and we're planting a church and we're working on a publisher and we're doing all the things that we're trying to do.
[00:33:53]  Colonization requires long term commitment.
[00:33:59]  Now, one of the major reasons for this lack of long term commitment is national instability.
[00:34:08]  When the political and cultural climate feels like it could collapse at any moment, people naturally hesitate to invest deeply in a place.
[00:34:17]  You know, mass immigration has significantly destabilized communities across the country.
[00:34:23]  We saw this clearly during COVID, right?
[00:34:26]  With kind of the great migration.
[00:34:28]  Millions relocated in search of, you know, political stability.
[00:34:35]  They were like political refugees.
[00:34:37]  And many conservatives now feel like, you know, like they are, like they're political refugees constantly moving between, you know, red areas and more red areas in hopes of finding.
[00:34:52]  Some sort of safety, long term safety.
[00:34:54]  And this is again why strategic Christian colonies, or some people call them Christian boroughs, are so important.

=== Building Strategic Christian Momentum (06:43) ===

[00:35:02]  We have to intentionally gather around strong, momentum filled local churches.
[00:35:11]  We are willing to, I see people all the time, they're willing to move for jobs or for weather, but why aren't they willing to move for coalition with a great church community?
[00:35:26]  Come on.
[00:35:27]  I mean, this is another thing I want to talk about.
[00:35:31]  We need to learn that fighting in isolated fragments is a weak way to win battles.
[00:35:42]  We cannot win this generation or the next if we are scattered.
[00:35:48]  I mean, there's a form of what's called strategic retreat.
[00:35:55]  Where you would move from one place to join another group of Christians that have a better shot of building or winning that particular area or that battle of the war.
[00:36:07]  And together, you know, we can fight, we can build, we can eventually take ground in a specific state or region.
[00:36:13]  So I just encourage people you should move.
[00:36:16]  You should move to a place where there's essentially Christian colonies Prescott, Arizona, Ogden, Utah, you know, Moscow, Idaho, Georgetown, Texas.
[00:36:30]  There are others that are around that have some strong, some strong.
[00:36:36]  Momentum of coalition building already, and we need more of them.
[00:36:40]  We need a lot more of them that are surrounded by a Christian church and have good Christian schools and have long term post millennial optimistic eschatology, long term mindsets that are filled with Christian patriots that are not Gnostics.
[00:36:52]  We need more of that.
[00:36:54]  That is a very important aspect of this.
[00:36:57]  Now, we are already seeing again this happen in different places around the country.
[00:37:04]  There's a good book that.
[00:37:06]  Joel Webbin wrote called Fight by Flight.
[00:37:10]  And it essentially argues that the most loving thing you can do sometimes is leave.
[00:37:15]  So I think the subtitle is Why Leaving Godless Places is Loving Godless Places.
[00:37:21]  And I think it's a clever way to talk about strategic retreat.
[00:37:24]  It's his story about leaving California and moving back home to Texas and the rationale behind that.
[00:37:33]  And I think it helps people understand why they might leave a blue state to come to a red state to build coalition.
[00:37:40]  That we might have momentum to take over a particular territory.
[00:37:44]  And if the country balkanizes, right, if it shrinks into a smaller nation at some point, we're going to need those strategic colonies at that point.
[00:37:56]  Okay, so fourth is political involvement.
[00:38:03]  In a healthy Christian society without mass immigration and multiculturalism, you could reasonably expect that those in politics.
[00:38:14]  Would naturally represent your values.
[00:38:18]  But we don't live in that world right now, right?
[00:38:21]  In today's reality, immigrants and foreign interest groups are actively fighting for governmental power and working to outlaw your rights and your values.
[00:38:32]  And in such a time, it's essential that committed Christians run for office and take leadership.
[00:38:38]  In fact, a lot of people recently have been asking me if there's a chance that I would run for office.
[00:38:43]  And yes, there is a chance that I would run for office.
[00:38:44]  I don't know.
[00:38:46]  What office and when?
[00:38:48]  I'd have to see people willing to support me in that capacity and have God's kind of sovereign providence prove that that's something He wants me to do.
[00:38:57]  But yeah, if you're interested in supporting me to run for some sort of political office, maybe Senate or U.S. Congress or something like that, man, there's a chance that I would be interested in doing that.
[00:39:09]  I know they're expensive to run for those things.
[00:39:11]  You need people behind you, you need momentum, you need donors, you need supporters.
[00:39:17]  But we need political.
[00:39:18]  Power from the Christians because this is what multiculturalism is.
[00:39:22]  It's essentially groups of different ethnicities, cultures, values, religions who are all fighting for governmental power.
[00:39:31]  And that's why it doesn't work.
[00:39:35]  As I said even in the last episode, and I say it all the time nationalism creates wars with other nations, but multiculturalism creates wars within nations.
[00:39:45]  And that's why it doesn't work.
[00:39:46]  It does not work.
[00:39:47]  We are going to see, I'm telling you, people.
[00:39:50]  I will be vindicated in five to ten years.
[00:39:52]  Everybody that thinks that I'm a crazy racist just because I am against multiculturalism and the vast majority of immigration, you are going to say, Dale, you know what?
[00:40:04]  You were right, but it's going to be in five or 10 years from now.
[00:40:08]  Now, I've personally wrestled with the idea of where's the greatest impact right now?
[00:40:16]  Is it in the pulpit or is it in public office, right?
[00:40:19]  And that is a question that far more Christian men need to seriously consider.
[00:40:22]  There's a lot of good pastors that are stepping in to office.
[00:40:28]  Dusty Devers is one of them.
[00:40:30]  And because, like, where are the good Christian pastors?
[00:40:35]  Political leaders.
[00:40:36]  They're basically like what I call skin suit Christians.
[00:40:40]  You know, we get like Ted Cruz, you know, who doesn't know anything about theology.
[00:40:45]  Those are like our Christian leaders.
[00:40:47]  We need solid Christian men, like the founders, like the people that were in office in the first hundred years of our nation.
[00:40:56]  Their writings sound like they're seminary students, and they're not pastors.
[00:41:02]  They just have such a rich political, theological, Convictions and positions.
[00:41:08]  And so, if we have to remember that if we refuse to run, someone else will, often a woman from India or Somalia or another foreign culture, and she's going to work to colonize your community and steal your children's inheritance for the glory of their pagan God.
[00:41:29]  Okay, ultimately, you know, and as we wrap up this section here, we would do well to recover the Bold confidence of our forefathers.
[00:41:41]  We don't have to cross oceans to colonize.

=== Recovering Bold Forefather Confidence (08:13) ===

[00:41:45]  We simply have to cross town.
[00:41:48]  Yet, right now, while Muslims and Hindus are literally crossing oceans to claim ground, we are literally too lazy to take a trip across town to fight for our own land, and we're quietly being replaced.
[00:42:03]  Your forefathers were far more intense than we are.
[00:42:08]  You know, ladies, don't be quick to resent your husband for working long hours right now.
[00:42:14]  Okay, we need men who are willing to make massive sacrifices to save our households, to save our nation, to save our lands.
[00:42:22]  For some, that's going to mean earning serious money to fund churches and political campaigns.
[00:42:29]  For others, it's going to mean running for office while still holding down a job and you're working 80 hours a week.
[00:42:39]  But rest and a balanced life, these are privileges of a victorious society.
[00:42:48]  And that is not the society that we live in right now.
[00:42:51]  So let's go to the weekly audit.
[00:42:59]  So, I want to talk about a few things here.
[00:43:01]  We have a few stories to discuss here.
[00:43:05]  This first one is Millie, I think her last name's Taplin.
[00:43:09]  She's from the UK.
[00:43:10]  She was drugged at a nightclub.
[00:43:13]  And she took a drink of something, someone handed her something.
[00:43:18]  It doesn't say who handed it to her.
[00:43:20]  I'm just going to guess that it's a foreigner because this sounds like it's got foreign stuff all over it, right?
[00:43:25]  And it's this idea that she's drinking this thing, and within minutes, she's.
[00:43:33]  Twisting and turning and totally paralyzed.
[00:43:36]  And I just was thinking, like, what kind of dad, one, lets your daughters go to college away from town?
[00:43:45]  Like, I'm not saying that you can't have a daughter that goes to college, but I'm saying is the idea of like, hey, let's send our daughters to some pagan, you know, government university where they're going to turn into prostitutes and dress like, you know, slutty skanks and have sex with a bunch of people and become feminists.
[00:44:05]  Like, What's happening?
[00:44:07]  Like, why are you sending your daughters to these places?
[00:44:09]  And then they go to nightclubs, right?
[00:44:11]  Because they're not at home.
[00:44:13]  And so your 20 year old single daughter is out at nightclubs and she's taking public transportation.
[00:44:19]  You know, you got an Irina situation, you know, where you're sitting, you're putting your daughter in Uber cabs.
[00:44:26]  And I just go, please God, let your daughters stay home.
[00:44:31]  Provide for them.
[00:44:32]  I watched some stupid video not that long ago.
[00:44:35]  It was like this dad is like, You know, next year you're going to have to start paying rent to his 18 year old daughter.
[00:44:41]  I'm like, no, no.
[00:44:43]  My daughters will stay home until they are married and I will provide everything for them.
[00:44:50]  Does that mean that if she wants to get a part time job doing gardening somewhere, I don't care.
[00:44:59]  What I do care about is making sure that she has a loving protector and spiritual head over her.
[00:45:08]  And so, yeah, she's not gonna buy her own car.
[00:45:11]  She's not gonna buy her own clothes.
[00:45:15]  No.
[00:45:17]  I'm gonna transfer that headship and that commitment to care for her needs to her husband, who will do that as well.
[00:45:25]  So she's not gonna have to provide for herself at all.
[00:45:28]  And so, again, I just go situations like this or situations like Irena, we can stop them by just keeping your daughter's home and providing for them.
[00:45:39]  Providing them the best possible life you could as a father.
[00:45:45]  All right, next story.
[00:45:45]  All right, it says the fertility rate of the U.S. liberal white women aged 25 to 35 is 0.51 children.
[00:45:58]  White, it says, it goes on, it says, white liberalism is now a death cult whose value proposition is, quote, amuse yourself to death.
[00:46:10]  Now, pay attention to this last line, right?
[00:46:11]  I think this last line is.
[00:46:12]  One of the best lines I've heard in a long time.
[00:46:16]  It says, Optimize for harm reduction long enough, and you end up optimizing for non existence, the only state without pain.
[00:46:27]  Okay, so that's essentially what feminism is, right?
[00:46:30]  Feminism is this desire to eliminate as much fear as possible.
[00:46:39]  So feminism is really built on fear.
[00:46:42]  And it's the idea that.
[00:46:44]  I fear submission.
[00:46:45]  I fear responsibility.
[00:46:46]  I fear accountability.
[00:46:47]  I fear authority.
[00:46:49]  And so, what do they do?
[00:46:50]  They go get a job so they can control their income.
[00:46:53]  They don't get married so they can control their lifestyle.
[00:46:57]  They have abortions so that they can control their bodies.
[00:47:03]  All of this is a fear of authority and control.
[00:47:07]  And so it's driven by this idea.
[00:47:10]  And what happens is they isolate, isolate, and it ends up being single, depressed, alone, and childless.
[00:47:18]  And as a result, it's like they eliminate themselves.
[00:47:23]  Again, what it says right here optimize for harm reduction long enough.
[00:47:27]  And you end up optimizing for non existence.
[00:47:31]  It's like feminism is an ideological sterilization.
[00:47:35]  It takes a person and makes their genetic ancestry be eliminated.
[00:47:45]  It's like it's a form of genetic suicide.
[00:47:47]  It's an idea where you just go if you take it to its final conclusion, you're going to end up alone, you're going to end up with no children, and you're going to end up having no genetic.
[00:47:59]  Descendants.
[00:48:00]  And that's exactly what Satan wants.
[00:48:02]  So, for the feminists, I actually care about the feminists and I want to say stop it.
[00:48:07]  Turn around.
[00:48:08]  Understand that loving biblical patriarchy is great.
[00:48:11]  You get to rest in your femininity.
[00:48:13]  I always tell women be free to be feminine.
[00:48:16]  And that's a good thing.
[00:48:17]  And so, have some babies.
[00:48:19]  And even the conservative ladies, I mean, they're only having like almost two kids, but it's not enough.
[00:48:22]  We need to have way more children.
[00:48:25]  Children are a good and godly blessing.
[00:48:27]  All right, next story.
[00:48:31]  All right, the word of the day is Habib.
[00:48:37]  I think that's what it is.
[00:48:39]  Happy Arab American Heritage Month from Rami Youssef Elmo and all of your friends on Sesame Street.
[00:48:50]  All right, here we go.
[00:48:51]  We got Sesame Street trying to, again, make your children comfortable with this idea of multiculturalism.
[00:49:02]  They want you comfortable.
[00:49:03]  They want your kids comfortable with foreigners.
[00:49:06]  They don't want you thinking about this at this sort of dimension.
[00:49:11]  And so I would just say, just to be clear, as we talked about in our last episode, there is no such thing as a hyphenated American.
[00:49:19]  There's no such thing as an Arab American.
[00:49:22]  You're either Arab or you're American.
[00:49:23]  If you come here, you have sacrificed your ethnicity because your job is to assimilate.
[00:49:32]  Lose yourself in the American ethnicity, in its culture, essentially even marrying in and genetically eliminating your Arab heritage over a few generations.
[00:49:44]  And that's why, again, moving to different nations of ethnicities, especially making huge shifts, it's a form of transnationalism, which is a very important thing to consider if you're going to immigrate somewhere.

=== Wrap Up And Next Week (00:53) ===

[00:49:59]  And again, I talked about in the last episode all the exceptions and missionaries and You know, two kingdoms maybe coming together for an agreement.
[00:50:06]  Like, there's all types of stuff there.
[00:50:07]  So, just don't take me out of context when I say that.
[00:50:09]  But the reality is, when you look at this, the goal is to make your kids comfortable with the idea of foreigners and pagans in your own land.
[00:50:25]  So, that's a wrap for this episode.
[00:50:27]  You can follow me on social media on X, Instagram, YouTube.
[00:50:32]  You can find any of my books on Amazon.
[00:50:35]  I'd love to have your support there.
[00:50:36]  But next week, I'm going to be talking about the pre war consensus.
[00:50:39]  We're going to be laying some groundwork about what the world was like before World War I and World War II.
[00:50:46]  On that note, my name is Dale Partridge.
[00:50:48]  Thank you for watching or listening to American Grit.
[00:50:51]  I'll see you guys next week.
