Focus of the Meeting:
“The Battle for the Republic”
Every generation of believers faces a defining moment—a point when silence becomes betrayal and conviction demands a voice. The sixteenth century had its moment at Wittenberg, when one man’s courage broke the silence of a fearful church. We have come to that moment in our generation. The world we inhabit is different in form but not in nature. The idols have changed their faces; the heresies have traded old robes for new rhetoric; yet the spiritual war remains the same. The enemies of truth are not new—they are the old powers of pride, deception, and fear wearing modern names. It’s the oldest lie dressed up in a new suit of clothes.
America is not merely divided—it is being discipled.
Ideas once confined to the margins now shape classrooms, laws, media, and the moral imagination of a nation. Many Christians sense the shift but struggle to name it—much less respond faithfully. The Battle for the Republic reveals how biblical truth, civic responsibility, and moral courage were quietly eroded—and why this unraveling was not accidental, but strategic. Drawing from Scripture, history, and the structure of the American constitutional order, Charles Garner exposes the forces reshaping the culture while clarifying what Christian engagement is—and is not. This is not a call to rage, violence, or theocracy. It is a call to clarity, stewardship, and courage rooted in conviction. Written for pastors, leaders, and thoughtful believers, The Battle for the Republic equips the church to understand the conflict of our moment—and to stand without surrendering either faith or conscience. We are engaged in a spiritual war in which the very souls of people, the Republic, and the church are at stake. This is not a time for retreat or capitulation. It is a time to practice the disciplines of the faith, to put on the whole armor of God, and — having done all — to stand. We claim the field; we do not abandon it. The next Great Awakening will not be imported from history; it will ignite in a remnant who refuses to kneel to the spirit of this age and who bow to Christ alone.
