CrossPolitic — Show Notes: The Lindsay Clancy Case, the Culture, and the Church

Gabe, Pastor Toby, and Knox take up the Lindsay Clancy trial — the Massachusetts mother who killed her three children while on a cocktail of psychiatric medications — and work through the case, the culture, and the church's responsibility. They address toxic empathy from women at the courthouse, the pharmakeia connection to CrossPolitic's latest documentary, what Genesis 9 says about moral agency regardless of mental state, why biblical justice demands the death penalty Massachusetts removed in 1947, and what it means for men — fathers, pastors, husbands — to take responsibility for a culture they helped disciple into this.

Timestamps

00:00 — Intro & Fight Laugh Feast conference update — October 1–3, Franklin, TN

00:00 — Sponsors — Patriot Mobile Connect and Red Balloon Recruiter

00:00 — Background on the Lindsay Clancy case — who she is, what happened, and the trial

00:00 — Toxic empathy at the courthouse — women blaming Patrick, astrology charts, and the "not guilty" crowd

00:00 — Candace Owens clip — where she's right about Big Pharma and where she's wrong about guilt

00:00 — Pharmakeia — how the case connects to CrossPolitic's documentary on pharmaceutical gods

00:00 — Genesis 9 and moral agency — even animals are held responsible; insanity is not a biblical category

00:00 — She was a labor and delivery nurse for nine years — the premeditation nobody's discussing

00:00 — Massachusetts, the death penalty, and the logic of a culture of death

00:00 — Romans 1 — every sin is a kind of temporary insanity; being deceived doesn't give you a pass

00:00 — The church's failure — no concept of God's holiness, coddling feminine sin, and the feminization of Christianity

00:00 — WNBA clip — Enes Kanter and the soccer flop as justice; whoever cries loudest wins

00:00 — Will Spencer's testimony — 20 years of new age ceremonies, and what finally changed him was guilt

00:00 — The fathers of women in that crowd — they deserve to be flogged for what they gave society

00:00 — Men taking responsibility — Christ's headship, Adam in the garden, and loving a whore bride

Pharmakeia — Show Notes: Fight Laugh Feast Documentary

In this Fight Laugh Feast documentary, CrossPolitic traces a single Greek word — pharmakeia — from Homer's Odyssey through the book of Revelation to argue that the ancient world never separated medicine from sorcery, and that the modern West's attempt to draw that line may be its most consequential mistake. The film follows materialism's promise from the Big Bang to the therapy couch, tracks the ladder from prescription pharmaceuticals to ayahuasca retreats in Peru, and asks why the men who most loudly deny the existence of demons are increasingly found in dark rooms communing with named spirit entities. Along the way it draws on C.S. Lewis, Aldous Huxley, Peter Hitchens, and the testimony of a man who sat in fifteen ayahuasca ceremonies — and what finally set him free. The answer is not another ceremony. It is guilt, repentance, and the One who drank the cup fully awake so we wouldn't have to.

Timestamps

0:24 — What is a woman? What is a human being? — and why getting the answer wrong collapses everything

1:04 — The materialist answer: evolved apes, accidental universe, cosmic soup — and why it can't hold

2:06 — Materialism as a religion — no God, no soul, just chemicals and atoms colliding

2:39 — The swept house: materialism cleared out demons and filled the room with diagnoses and serotonin levels

3:36 — Ayahuasca retreats, psilocybin therapy, and $7,000–$20,000 luxury ceremonies in Jamaica and Peru

4:00 — Pharmakeia — one Greek word from Homer to Revelation meaning both medicine and sorcery

4:40 — The ladder: prescription → marijuana → ecstasy → mushrooms → the dark room in Peru

7:52 — Huxley's 1962 Berkeley lecture: the controlling oligarchy will get people to love their servitude

8:43 — Peter Hitchens and the Uvalde shooter — the marijuana detail that disappeared from the New York Times

11:12 — Attacker Smoked Cannabis — the man with a laptop building the file the national press unpublished

12:08 — Orwell's jack boots vs. Huxley's chains — drugs and sex as the state's soft bribe

13:20 — Dominion Wealth Strategies — sponsor read

14:41 — CS Lewis: the materialist magician — science and magic as twins, one that worked better

16:39 — Lewis's nightmare: magic returning in a lab coat, using the language of forces and energies

17:31 — The swept house revisited — Jesus's words and the seven demons worse than the first

18:06 — Henry's Demons — marijuana at 11, madness at 14, and the father who named it correctly

20:26 — Pharmakeia in Homer, Exodus, Galatians, and Revelation — nations deceived by one word

22:38 — The seam we drew — medicine on one side, sorcery on the other, and the line beginning to blur

24:00 — PhDs communing with Mama Ayahuasca — named entities, published journals, and credit cards accepted

25:57 — Demons allowed in as aliens — keeping God out while keeping the master narrative intact

27:29 — Lewis in Screwtape: the greatest evil is conceived in carpeted offices by quiet men with smooth cheeks

28:51 — Deuteronomy 18 — the law against consulters with familiar spirits, and the modern retreat that crosses every line

31:04 — 2020: churches closed, pot shops open, abortion clinics essential — and how few said no

33:03 — Nepho — morally alert: Peter's word before warning that the devil prowls looking for someone to devour

34:29 — Red Balloon Recruiter — sponsor read

35:09 — Thomas Szasz and therapy culture — the inversion of personal responsibility

36:13 — Trauma culture in the church — the failure of biblical counseling and the endless loop of buried pain

37:47 — The man who sat in fifteen ceremonies: what finally changed him was guilt

38:25 — You are not evolved slime — made in the image of God, body and soul, homesick and lost

39:34 — Circe's cup and Odysseus's men — forgetting home, waiting to be turned into pigs

40:09 — The trade runs backwards: when Jesus showed up, the demons went into the swine

40:32 — One more cup — Christ at Golgotha refusing the narcotic, drinking the wrath fully awake

42:02 — The cure: a renewed mind, a household, a book, the discovery that responsibility is the greatest pleasure

43:39 — The real hero's journey — available for free, already paid for by another

The conversation covers Pastor Ezra Jin's miraculous July 4th release from prison (and the eight still behind bars), the latest crackdown on Pastor Wang Yi's church network, how Christians should think about doing business with China, and what the American church can learn from brothers and sisters who are forced to make hard decisions for their faith every single day.

CrossPolitic — Show Notes: America's 250th Birthday Special

On this Fourth of July special, Gabe, Pastor Toby, Knox, and Steve Deace gather to mark America's 250th birthday — not with blind celebration, but with honest reckoning and confident hope. Gabe walks through 15 ways America has been conquered not by guns but by cultural war, from forgetting its Christian founding to pastors who preached niceness over faithfulness. Steve calls for revival-or-bust thinking and eulogizes Charlie Kirk's missional courage. Knox opens Nehemiah and calls for four months of mourning, fasting, and repentance before the wall gets built. And Toby reminds us that the same God who marched slaves out of Egypt with Pharaoh's chariots sinking behind them is still Lord of armies — and he doesn't need our numbers.

Timestamps

00:00 — Intro — America's 250th birthday and the CrossPolitic crew

02:47 — Gabe's 15-point thread: how America was conquered by cultural war, not guns

03:20 — Starting point: forgetting the Christian founding and pretending all religions are equal

05:25 — Majoring in the minors — bald eagle eggs, 60 million babies, and government fraud

07:57 — Pastors who preached faith out of politics and handed government the church's job

09:56 — The 11th commandment — thou shalt be nice — and the feminization of Christianity

13:44 — Steve responds: two things can be true at once — and we're in revival-or-bust territory

16:06 — The window is closing: worldview steel cage match, and the check coming due

18:08 — Knox: we are subsidizing our own destruction — the church and Christian schools teaching socialism

21:13 — Toby on the Matt Chandler church-closure clip: worship skipped for construction

23:43 — Stonewall Jackson writing from the battlefield about the Confederacy running mail on the Sabbath

29:03 — Gabe preaching through Judges: 3,000 men of Judah handing Samson to the Philistines

33:34 — Sponsors — Patriot Mobile and Dominion Wealth Strategies

35:57 — Steve: repentance + reformation = revival — and being worthy of the bullet Charlie Kirk took

40:11 — Christian donors, media, and why the other side outspends us on missions they believe in

44:01 — The church has zapped masculine ambition — where are the parable-of-the-talents sermons?

48:48 — Knox: you can't outsource to the church what the home isn't doing — father hunger and the three governments

52:51 — Toby: family, church, and state — and how the magisterial Reformation recovered each government's lane

57:44 — Steve's close: dominion without permission — act on behalf of the Father regardless of consequences

1:00:05 — Knox: they don't matter — stop acting like false-god worshipers determine what God's people do

1:00:18 — Knox's three things: mourn for God's name, fast and pray, repent — the Nehemiah math

1:06:09 — Gabe: 300 men repenting — Gideon's army and what a small faithful remnant can do

1:07:20 — Knox: COVID was a grace — trouble wakes people up when comfort puts them to sleep

1:10:21 — Toby: the arc of history is every knee bowing — God will do what it takes to glorify his name

1:13:05 — The colonial army had no business winning — ragtag Presbyterians with psalters for musket wadding

1:16:15 — Conference announcement: Fight Laugh Feast 2026, Holy Wars — early bird extended

1:19:06 — Toby on Exodus: Israel is called the armies of the Lord — Pharaoh just has chariots

CrossPolitic 1v1 — Show Notes: Andrew Crapuchette, CEO of Red Balloon

On this episode of CrossPolitic 101, the Waterboy sits down with Andrew Crapuchette, CEO of Red Balloon, to talk about what happens when merit replaces DEI in hiring — inside corporations, inside the military, and now inside the U.S. Department of State. Andrew breaks down Red Balloon's acquisition of MilitaryHire.com, their new contract as the official recruiting arm for Foreign Service Officers, and why getting 500 to 1,000 cleared patriots into the State Department could have a generational impact on America and the world. Plus: why you should consider taking the Foreign Service Officer Test — and how classical education might be exactly the preparation you need.
