Why Aren't More Churches Standing Up?

Can the American Church legally talk about politics from the pulpit and not lose their tax-exempt status?

I get this question during our “Patriots Anonymous” discussion when I host a Biblical Citizenship class. It amazes me how many members of the clergy nationwide don’t know the answer to this, but worse yet how many of them are pushing back against people like me when we try to bring this class to the church.

Now don’t get me wrong, the church is waking up. There’s no doubt about it. One particular organization, Liberty Pastors, offers training camps to pastors regarding the topic of biblical citizenship, and they basically tripled in size when you compare their event attendance from 2022 to 2023. So good things are happening, but for those of us on the ground fighting daily to move this ball down the field, it’s apparent that there is still plenty of work to be done.

At some point during the 8-week course, most people end up having this epiphany… that if only the American church would start sharing this information with their congregations, we could Save the Republic overnight. I say this all the time during my speaking engagements - when the church in America stands up, it’s game over for the deep state.

So what gives? What is keeping the church silent? Can a church really lose their tax-exempt status if they start talking about politics from the pulpit? Is that why so many pastors don’t want to go there?
