Hamilton: God has called us to be ambassadors even in this dark moment

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, delivering people

>> Abraham Hamilton III: out of the bondage of mainstream media and the philosophies of this world.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: God has called you and me to be his ambassadors even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And now the Hamilton Corner.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Good evening everyone.

Many of you are making your transition from part time jobs to full time jobs

Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton iii, joined by the real J. Mac. At this very moment, many of you, at this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. Or today you might be on your way to Darbone Church of Christ, where we will be at 7pm so about an hour, you have an hour between this show ending and the service beginning at Darbone Church of Christ where we will jump into the Lord's word together. If you are in the area or willing to come to the area if you happen to be an hour away, well, guess what, you have time to listen to this entire show, then hop in your car and meet us at Darbone Church of Christ in Farmerville, Louisiana. We will be there seven, p.m. this evening. So either if you're making your transition from your part time jobs to your full time jobs, or if you're heading over to the Darbone Church of Christ, I want to encourage you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family and welcoming his view to govern, guard and to guide your view. And when you, when you, when you peel the onion, so to speak, you get down to brass taxes, where the rubber meets the road, whatever other cliches and metaphors you want to employ.

Our society is the product of discipleship through affirmative indoctrination and negligence

When you get right down to it, the issue of our day is disciple making. That, that is the issue. The issue is disciple making. Who is going to do it and in which direction or in which, in which manner will the disciple making occur. Because the way that God has created us, discipleship is a constant. It's not a question of if, it's a question of who and how. Much of what is befallen. Our society, frankly, is the product of discipleship through a combination of affirmative indoctrination as well as negligence, meaning a failure to provide truth. Generationally, generationally, there is such a consistent phenomenon and you guys have experienced it. Many of you have experienced it to where you have people even, they'll say, well you know, we raised our children in the church and only to learn, yeah, was, you know, they, they turned away. And I can't tell you how heartbroken I have been and studying and learning and even hearing your stories of how voluntary familial estrangement has just wreaked, has wrought havoc in the, in lives of people all across this country. And by and large there has been an Antichrist indoctrination and discipleship that's been happening in our country. And I know it's easy to use the word Antichrist kind of a, in a broad sense, but I don't mean it just as a general catch all excuse. I really mean it with, with intended purpose. Because there has been a concerted effort advanced little by little, step by step over time. And we didn't just go to sleep and wake up one morning and bam, transgenderism. That didn't happen. It's been little by little, step by step. first let's, let's make it to be socially unacceptable and to be indicative of a lack of intellectual acuity for people to believe that God can create the entire creation in six 24 hour days and rest on the seventh day. Let's make that ah, there's no way you can believe that because the first attack, going all the way Back to Genesis 3 was attack on what? The authority and applicability of God's Word did God surely say you, you sure that's what God said? Does that really make sense to you? Not recognizing, we asserting or dare I say exalting ourselves against the truth of God's Word. And then when the authority and the applicability of God's Word is in question, then that causes doubt across the board. Not realizing that if you can challenge, effectively challenge the authority and applicability of God's Word, you can get people to reject their desperate need for a savior. And that's what we're dealing with. But if we, the people of God will understand that Jesus knew full well, our Lord knew full well what was coming, which is why he gave us a commission to go therefore and make disciplined learners, make disciples of the way of Messiah, teaching the disciples to obey everything that Christ has commanded us. And that being a matter of first priority. And we start that in our homes and we work outwardly from there. So as you're making your transition, let's do so with that being our foremost investment, a life investment with the time that God has afforded us in his world. To the word of God we go. This is going to follow, or should I say go along, coincide with what we've just been discussing.

There was an immediate plot by the Pharisees to kill Jesus

Jon, chapter 12, verses nine through 11 is where I want to go. Jon, chapter 12, verses 9 through 11. Earlier this week, we were talking about, the account in scripture where Lazarus, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. And there was an immediate plot thereafter by the Pharisees to kill Jesus. Well, what you're going to see, the scriptures show, ah, it wasn't only Jesus they were trying to kill. So in the verses that precede verse nine in Jon, chapter 12, the resurrected Lazarus was kicking it in Bethany, verses one through eight. he's there, Mary's there. Jesus is there. They're having, dinner parties, if you will. And crowds are amassing outside of the home where Jesus and Lazarus and Mary and Martha, where they all are. And the scripture tells us, which you're going to see, that they came. Many of them wanted to see Jesus. Oh, yes. Yes, you are. We want to see him. But, I don't know if they were Jamaican, but we heard there'd be a dead man raised back to life in there. That was a terrible accent. I know, but my God said, anyway, they heard that the resurrected Lazarus was in the house, so people were coming because they wanted to see it. I mean, can you envision that, man? Look down there on Fifth Street. 1735 Fifth Street. Go five blocks north, three blocks west. Go there. That's the man. He's in there right now having dinner. Raised from the dead, man. Dude was in the tomb four days. We thought when they rolled that stone away, man, the stench is coming. Old boy's in there eating dinner right now, guys. That's what was happening. That's the backdrop in context for the verses that we have here. So I'm going to read Jon, chapter 12, verses 9 through 11. This is what the scripture says. When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came not only on account of him, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death. Also because on account of him, many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus. So what you see here, as I mentioned to you already previously, the chief priests and the Pharisees had already determined, man, we got to kill this Jesus. This is before he went to the cross. These are the Pharisees saying, we got to kill him. So when you see later the, scandal of the illegal trial, the consorting with the Romans have Jesus put to death. That was really just. I won't say just, but that was really the fulfillment of a conspiracy that had already started Long before that. Long before that, many of the priests were saying, we got to put this dude to death. So it was kind of like, we want to kill him. We just need to get a justification for our murder, you know? but not only did they want to kill Jesus, because what did they seek to protect? The scripture tells us they wanted to keep people, keep Jews in particular, from converting to becoming followers of the way of Christ. So the best way to do that is kill him. Well, now you have an additional source of tangible evidence that he's no mere man. He's truly God and truly man, because the man who he raised from the dead is sitting right there next to him

>> Abraham Hamilton III: at dinner.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: So they confected the plot to kill Lazarus, too. Why did they want to kill Lazarus? Because Lazarus served as potent evidence. Exhibit A. Evidence that Jesus was exactly who he said he was. Now, it's interesting that the scriptures tell us very plainly that the. I would argue the demonically inspired antichrist scheme was not interested at all. In truth. Now, I don't want to paint overly broad. With an overly broad brush. There were many Pharisees that came to. Came to Christ. You know, Nicodemus is one. Right? Crispus is another. Sosthenes is another. There were many Pharisees that came to Christ. Paul is another. Right? But the general overarching position of the Pharisees and the high priests in particular, the chief priests in particular, was Antichrist. And so the plot to kill Jesus first and then to kill Lazarus as well is because they were not interested in whether or not Jesus could, in fact, truly be Messiah. They were not interested in, well, could this be true? We've had a lot of good teachers. I mean, Gamaliel was a beast to teach. We even had, in our nation's history, amazing prophets. But nobody who's claimed to be messiah predicted his own death and resurrection and has demonstrated the power, while claiming to be God to raise from the dead. Even if we had prophets who participated in resurrections, like Elijah, he never claimed to be God. Yet this cat is claiming to be God. And they were not interested in learning whether or not that. Whether it was true. So what you see here are evildoers who sought to advance their agenda not by reason and persuasion and logical articulation and rationality employed. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They sought to advance, their agenda by employing violence to shut up their opposition. This is why you see consistently, the advocates for things like censorship are people who recognize that they are incapable of winning the day through reason and persuasion.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: I mean,

>> Abraham Hamilton III: they want to just shut up their opposition. That's why everywhere from Mao's China to Pol Pot to, Hitler to Stalin to Mussolini, when you go down the line, these people didn't allow dissent. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. The who dissent, well, that's what the Supreme Court writers, right? No, they're not allowing countervailing opinions. They. They're going to enforce their hegemony by just that force. You see the same thing happening in our country. We experienced this during the shmovid debacle. You know, we can't allow people to have an opinion different than Anthony Fauci. So what we need to do is shut down anybody who's saying something different. Hamilton Corner is going to have Dr. Christina Parks on.

The desire to assert one's agenda by shutting up your opposition is a demonic desire

We'll just shut off his YouTube channel. What I want you to see is that it's not, because sometimes when we think about, or we use political terminology, we can often lose our tether to the fact that, no, that's real evil afoot. The desire to assert one's agenda by shutting up your opposition is a desire that comes from hell. That comes from the fumes of hell. It's a demonic desire. It's a demonic desire. And this is why you see more and more people. You know, a lot of regressives, surveys out later who they think, well, yeah, you can use violence to protect yourself from hate speech. Says what? How? What? Guys, that's becomes the. That's because that ideology comes from the fumes of hell. I also want you to know that this is why many of you are facing such strong opposition right now. It's very similar to the reason why the plot was confected to kill Lazarus. Why? Because you're tangible evidence of what Jesus says is true. So the opposition cannot overcome the evidence. M. So now we have to destroy the evidence. Tailor those tale as old as time. But we have no need to lose heart because Satan. Because Jesus has not allowed us to be ignorant to Satan's devices. We have been given the privilege and the mandate to contend for the faith that has been once and for all passed down to the saints. We've been ordained for this moment.

Ryan Bomberger is co founder of the Radiance foundation

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton iii. Here I am, delighted to be joined by my brother from another mother, but the same heavenly father, Rhyen Bomberger, co founder of the Radiance foundation, author of should have Been Aborted. protagonist, I'll say it that way, of, the should have Been Aborted documentary, which is just so powerful. I just thank God for you, the work that you and your, your wonderful wife and your one beautiful family are doing with the Radiance Foundation. thank you so much for joining me here again on the Hamilton Corner.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Hey, it's great to be here with you, man.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: So when we were talking before we start, before, we came on, I was saying you're just causing trouble all over the world.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: I don't know an agitator is going to be what an agitator be. That's, that's, that's what I am.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Well, yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry. Yeah.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Well, I was gonna say it's a good thing.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: It's a good thing because I know you and I know your commitment to Christ and your, your adherence to a biblical worldview. So that agitation is welcome. We love it. We need more of it.

Ryan, you and your wife co authored two children's books about gender

Now, what I'm talking about in particular is that you and your, your lovely wife co authored a set of books a while ago. He is he and she is she. We talked about it here in the program. Several, many of our, listeners have been made aware of what you're doing. You have it right there. If you're watching the show. Those are the two books that I'm talking about. They're children's books that are animated children's books for those who may not be aware of them. Ryan, what are those books about? He is he, and she is she. And why did you and Bethany, write and publish them?

>> Rhyen Bomberger: They are about God's biological design for us. I mean, he made us male and female as obviously as Genesis says. And so living in Loudoun County, Virginia, my wife and I decided, hey, let's take on the pronouns. So that's why we came up with he is he, and she is she. And the books to celebrate beautiful, biological her and adorable, lovable him. And it just celebrates what it means to be a girl, what it means to be a boy, and celebrates motherhood and fatherhood. That's what it is in a nutshell. Shouldn't be controversial, but it's 20, 26 people.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: man. And. And they're beautifully illustrated. For those who may not have them yet. What are you waiting for? Go to radiance foundation.org or radiance.life will take you there, to order your copies of the books. If you're watching, you can see both of the books right now, even on over Rhyen's right and left shoulders, that they're there, beautifully animated. And, they're for children. You know, it's amazing that we have to affirm this foundational, fundamental truth, because the deception of our society, is so ubiquitous now.

Do you have direct mailing access to send them to Justice Ketanji Jackson

Another question. I don't know if you can answer this one or not. Do you have direct mailing access to send them to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson? Because she might need to be reminded she could benefit.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: I mean, who knew that we would have a justice who couldn't, you know, define what a woman is? But that would be great.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: I should.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: I'm in D.C. often. I should just drop by the Supreme Court and offer to. I don't even know how that works. How do you get something to a justice? I don't. So the answer to that is I don't.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Okay. I think I can help you figure that out. I know how you can get it to her. because she. Her. I said get it to her because she clearly.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Ambiguity.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: No ambiguity at all.

A case involving a teacher in Oregon has gone to the Supreme Court

Now, I asked you to join me on the show today because, you know, I monitor the courts in our country for a little bit, and I came across this one case in the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and it had to do with a gentleman who's a teacher in the Oregon public schools. His name is Roderick E. Tice ii. No, Roddy Rod had the audacity, the audacity to allow children in the school to read your books. Would you explain a little bit about what's going on with that case for our audience here to bring them up to speed as to what's transpired in our country?

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Look, every teacher and employee in that school system. Rod Tice is a licensed clinical social worker, and he works for Intermountain. Intermountain Education Service District, which serves a number of school districts there in Oregon. So, like other teachers and other, colleagues, you know, they get to decorate their classroom, they get to decorate their offices, they get to put things in there that reflect who they are. And that's what he did. Other people put in Black Lives Matter and anti ice posters and, you know, pro Palestinian posters and LGBTQ DEI stuff, all that kind of stuff. So he. He was putting in something that simply just reinforced what is actually taught in the schools. Actually taught in their science classes. They teach binary biological gender. And so he displayed the books behind his desk. He was not reading them to students. He actually didn't read them at all. There was one teacher who complained, one colleague who complained. And what she did is she sent in two 8th graders pretending to want to read the book. And Rod hadn't read the books. It was just the offense was the covers. And he had gone through months and months of harassment, interrogation, all kinds of meetings, told that, you know, he was acting in a hostile manner, that the books had an animus toward certain parts of the community. They weren't inclusive. I mean, he went through months and months of that. So all of a sudden, these 8th graders come into his classroom, asked to read the books, and they kept pressuring. And, it was like intense pressuring. It was. He was uncomfortable. He goes, okay, I guess you can read the books. And so they read them out loud. And the teacher who. Or the colleague who filed the complaint was recording the eighth graders doing this. Then he gets fired. ADF took his case, and now, you know, went to this. The. To the ninth Circuit, and we have this insane ruling two to one, saying that expressing biological facts is not protected speech. That's where we are.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: I'm laughing not because this is funny. This is just. This is absurd. You know, before you came on the air, I was talking about Jon 12, verses 9 through 11. When, after Lazarus was resurrected, he was having dinner with Mary, Martha, and Jesus. And, you know, they're having basically, a dinner party. And crowds started to amass outside their home. Because Jesus is present. Yes, but a lot of the Jews wanted to see Lazarus, you know, and that was followed by A plot to not only kill Jesus, but to kill Lazarus too. You know, because Lazarus was evidence, exhibit A, that what Jesus claimed was actually true. And one of the points that I made is that demonic schemes often include a conspiracy to murder the evidence of truth.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Right.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And I see this is happening now. I mean, wouldn't, this come from the same crowd of people that say that we're against book bans?

>> Rhyen Bomberger: They're not against book bands. They are the book banners. In fact, there is a. I don't remember the author, but he wrote this, this extensively researched article that detailed the book banning across the country. And he found, irrefutably that the books that were banned were those of conservative and Christian artists. Those were the books that were largely being banned. When the other side talks about book banning, what they mean is they find it offensive that a parent doesn't want porn and pedophilia peddled in their elementary school, middle school, high school. That's what they're talking about. Inappropriate content that doesn't belong in a school. It's not that people can't access it. It's not that they're banned. There's not some book burning. Yeah, but these books are actually being banned. And that's the insanity of this, this whole thing, that books that are reinforcing what is being taught in the schools from a scientific perspective are somehow too controversial, that they create a hostile environment and, and aren't inclusive. The insanity about that too, is that how is a book, I mean, over 90 of Americans identify as self identify, according to Gallup, as heterosexual. How is it not inclusive when you're actually including the vast majority of Americans who identify a particular way, but somehow a book that's, that's culturally diverse, you know, there's color diversity in these books that somehow is not inclusive. that's, that's how the school approached it. And that's why they were incredibly hostile to Rod Tice prior to him being fired. And of course, what led to the firing itself.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And now, just to kind of run reiterate some of the facts you mentioned that Rod Tice just had the books in his classroom. He didn't affirmatively require anybody to read him. He didn't. He wasn't reading them to anybody. But he was approached by two eighth graders that just so happened to coincidentally request to read the books out loud while one teacher, one complaining teacher, just so happened to be recording. Now, I'm sure that that is just a mere coincidence that surely, Rod Tice's colleague didn't set him up to set the stage for his ultimate harassment and later, ultimately even termination.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Right. I mean, it was a complete setup. And, I just needed to clarify something. Rod Tice does not actually have a classroom. He has an office. Two different offices in two different schools. So it was an office. Whereas in a classroom, these teach. Same teachers are putting up all kinds of political propaganda all the time and propaganda that's actually in contradiction to what they're teaching in their English classes as far as pronouns and gender and in their science classes. So why aren't they held to that same standard?

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Man, you know, it makes me think. And I forgot the professor's name, but he was a professor at a university in, San Antonio, Texas, and he was teaching biology, and he was literally teaching the biological chromosomal makeup of humankind. And the university fired him. They fired him for teaching that. And it's like, this is literally a science class. This was not just in another class, in the same class that he taught there for, like, well over a decade, but they fired him for it. Because the reality is, though, the science confirms the truth. Everything else, the social network, the social system of the school, is contradicting that.

Nine Circuit Court of Appeals rules that reading children's books is protected speech

Which is why, they fired Rod Tice. Now, you mentioned, before, that the rationale of the court in this. Because, man, I'm sick and tired of the insanity coming from the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. but for the court to say, that. Wait a minute. Having these books and these children read them of their own request, that's another thing. In his office is not protected speech by the First Amendment. This is crazy.

Tanner Cross says teachers First Amendment rights extend to choosing curriculum

Would you share a little bit about the lunacy and the ruling, as best as you can, concerning what the ninth Circuit ruled in this case?

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Sure thing. Actually, I want to read one sentence from the ruling. again, it was a 2:1 decision. But it says here no court has found that teachers First Amendment rights extend to choosing their own curriculum or classroom management techniques in contravention of school policy or dictates here. and this is one of the things they held against him, that he was actually providing a different curriculum. How is he providing a curriculum by having images? I mean, he. The teacher who filed the complaint. By the way, I'm holding this book up. Again, who filed the complaint? Never actually read the book. She was. Or he. Actually, I'm not sure if it's a she or he. Maybe that person's not even aware whether he said he or she. Anyway, that wouldn't be surprising. But he is he. This Is what offended. And this is my, my son justice, by the way. he's not offensive at all. but didn't read the content of the book. But here you have this, this, this statement made. He what actually and they were saying that he was doing this in, in contradiction to the curriculum that was decided. Actually he was reinforcing the curriculum that was decided in these schools. So there again, one of many false assertions in this ruling that is deeply troubling. But it go. It goes deeper. I like if you have, if you're a teacher or you're, you're a public education specialist in these schools, you. What this court is saying is everything that comes out of your mouth is government speech. M that's not true. I m mean, if a student asks you a question, for instance, about your faith, you, you're muzzled. You're not allowed to answer the question. It's. I know it's a different thing to actually bring up the subject, but if a student asks you everything that comes out of your mouth is government speech. Everything that these other teachers are adorning their, their offices in classrooms with, that's good government speech. When they say government, the same government that's gives us in the First Amendment, our free speech does not say, oh, only certain government employees. No, this is the problem. And this is why I, I believe strongly that appealing to the Supreme Court, this. I know they've had difficulty in trying to figure this out. Oh, the other thing that the distortion was the Kennedy case, the coach who prayed during Coach Joe after the games.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: They distorted that whole decision from the Supreme Court saying that that was not public. That was a private and personal sort of thing. That's. It was not private and personal. Yes, it was. Yes. In front of everyone. It was still during the course of his duties.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yes.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: So they, they distorted that too, saying that no, it wasn't. This was private and personal. It wasn't in the, in the, carrying out his duties. It was exactly in the carrying out of his duties. And so if the Supreme Court actually accepts this, hopefully they can reverse this. The problem is this covers a. People don't realize the 9th Circuit in these circuit courts, they cover wide areas. You', got, you know, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Hawaii. I don't think I've missed any.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: No, you.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: That's who it covers.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: The largest circuit in the appellate system in our country.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: And yeah, I mean, if that's not going to strike fear in other teachers, I mean, you already have a lack of Courage. I'm just going to say this because I, I witnessed this in Loudoun County, Virginia, a lack of teachers, Christian teachers standing up for their fellow teachers. When Tanner Cross stood up against the, the school here for policy 80, 40, which was a pro transgender, anti parent policy, he stood with maybe three other teachers. I mean that was it. But if this, this ruling have such a chilling effect on free speech and on the ability to actually, be someone who, who has the First Amendment afforded to them because government employees don't lose their constitutional rights when they step onto taxpayer funded property.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Man. I want to come back to Tanner Cross in a moment, but I think it's important to point out that this is the same 9th Circuit that got the Coach Joe Kennedy case wrong when the case came to them originally before the Supreme Court reversed them previously. So it doesn't, it doesn't surprise me that they, pervert the Supreme Court's ruling in the Coach Kennedy case because they're the ones who ruled in the wrong way previously when the case was before them.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Right, exactly, exactly. So they were, they must have been going off of their initial ruling like yours is invalid. Yours doesn't hold any weight.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And I know our friends at adf, for those who don't know it's Alliance Defending Freedom who are representing, Rod Tice, thank God for them, for taking this up. I'm pretty sure they're going to be all over the fact that they may very well be attempting the, the two, two judges of the three judge panel attempting to kind of force into this case their wrong rationale concerning the Coach Joe Kennedy case that the Supreme Court's ultimately reversed, which would likely may very well likely lead to the Supreme Court reversing them again in this case. Well, that's the disrespectful music. I paused because I had to sneeze. I'm sorry, the disrespectful music here. I want to revisit the Tanner Cross case that was right in your own backyard when we come back on the other side of the break. And then to move the conversation forward to discuss the necessity to have the courage to live the truth and proclaim the truth in our society. You're listening to and or watching the Hamilton Corner. My guest is co founder of the Radiance foundation and God ordained agitator Rhyen Bromberger. Stick with us. We'll be right back after this break.

Jesus Christ never once said you delusion defines you. Christ in fact peeled the scale away from Paul's eyes

>> Todd Herman: Jesus Christ never once said you delusion defines you. Keep it up. Christ in fact peeled the scale away from Paul's eyes. Paul identified as a judge and jury theologically to go out and kill Christians. And then Jesus struck him blind on the road, introduced himself, I'm Christ, who you're crucifying. Peeled the scales back, and Paul never returned to that life of sin.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Hear Todd Herman on a Disciples view,

Ryan Bomberger: Many public schools across the country are instituting gender policies

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton iii. Here my guest is Rhyen Bomberger and we're discussing, really just this egregious ruling out of the, out of the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals concerning, Rod Tice ii. I like saying that. You know, I like that Roger Tice ii, who's. Who is a licensed clinical social worker. he just had the. He is he and she and she books on display in his office was basically set up by a colleague, who dispatched two eighth graders to read the books. Out loud. I'm sure. I mean that's what 12 and 13 year olds do. Can I, can I. Mr. Tice, can I see that book? And then, and I turned the page and there, he was.

>> Dr. Jameson Taylor: He.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: I'm sure that's what the children do all the time. Right. And it just so happened to be recorded by the one teacher who complained that Mr. Tice had the books on his shelf. It's just, it's frankly disgusting. And as we were talking about that, you mentioned the case right in your own backyard with Tanner Cross. That happens a little while back in Loudoun county. And some may not remember that case. but I certainly do. And I think it's appropriate to bring it up as we're discussing Rod Tice's case currently, before the Ninth Circuit, which I'm almost positive, I'm almost 100 certain that alliance of any freedom will appeal this to the Supreme Court.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Well, the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has to answer the question. just they, they created the problem, when they decided that the Civil Rights act, when it referred to sex, it was, Bostic case.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yep.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Yes. He's the one who sided with, with those who said that, yeah, sex included gender identity, sexual orientation, gender identity. That's for me, what started so much of this. So you got the public schools that are deep, you know, way in over their heads, as far as swimming in the pools of LGBTQ plus. And when it comes to gender confusion in Loudoun county, they have a policy 80, 40 that basically says if a girl wants to be called a boy, teacher must call him a boy or vice versa. If the, you know, boy wants to be called a girl, they have to abide by that. Tanner Cross, who has now become a friend of mine, dared to actually speak at a school board meeting in Loudoun county and said, look, I love my students too much to call a boy a girl and a girl a boy. I just can't do this. It's lying to them and it's, it's a sin because I, I just can't do that. And so he was relieved. He was put on administrative leave the very next day. Well, it took several courts and then it got to the Virginia Supreme Court and they reinstated his job. I mean, the fact that you have to be reinstated for a physic physical education teacher, that's his role. He studied biology, he knows this stuff. for him to have to get his job back by the, by a supreme court in the state is just insane. Unfortunately, Loudoun M County public schools and many public schools all across the country not only are instituting these gender confusion, gender attacking policies and also, you know, parent severing the child, parent severing policies. they are ignoring the recent Supreme Court ruling on Title 9. The Supreme Court. Ah, ah, they, they left, they, they used the wrong word. Where they said schools may create these policies. They should have said schools, shall, because they have to abide. How do you get it, you know, a taxpayer funded entity to abide by the law. You don't say, well you can create this or you may create this. No, you shall. That's where the Supreme Court aired. But of course Loudoun County, Fairfax county and several other counties in our state are ignoring it and many others, from coast to coast. And it's creating this kind of problem. Tanner Cross was, you know, part of that, you know, that collateral damage because he was one of the few teachers who was courageous enough to stand up.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And that, that deficiency or deficit in courage is something that is not limited to, the educational arena. But we really, we're seeing it all around, across the board in our society, which again, going back to Jon 12, that that's the whole purpose of this kind of censorious or totalitarian disposition to where you not only want to stop the immediate provocateur, but you also want to send kind of a, a chilling effect on any others who might be willing to, to step up and to say something that would contravene the prevailing notions that seek to be established as standard.

Many Christians not even move to protect young children, Ryan says

but what does The Lord require of us who profess to be his children, who are armed with his word and are indwelled by his spirit.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: He expects us to speak the truth. He expects us to. I mean, we're supposed to go into all the world and preach the gospel. What is the gospel? It is truth. It is truth about the entire human condition. And if we're not willing to speak up, speak the truth into areas of God given design. I mean that when we talk about identity, that's everything. Who, how God designed us and why he designed us, how he designed us and how that's to be carried out. and also the fact that we're not even moving, many Christians not even move to protect young children. We're talking about irreversible damage being done to these young children because, not just because of, you know, the puberty blockers and, and the body mutilating surgeries which now are being pushed on these young children, but because of the mindset, because first and foremost, their spirit. Yeah, we are to, especially as a parent, I'm to guard my, my children. Not just physically, most important spiritually. And so many Christians have abdicated their responsibility and their role in this. They give it up to the school, they give it up to media, they give it up to sports. They give it up to. It's like when Jesus said, rendered to Caesar's. What is Caesar's? what is what belongs to Caesar? Our children don't belong to Caesar.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Amen.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Our children's spiritual lives don't belong to Caesar's. Our children's bodies certainly don't belong to Caesar. And yet so many Christian parents are willing to do that either by their direct action or by their, their complicit nature, their apathy. It's, it's heartbreaking. That's why when I talk about being an agitator, I, I mean I'm, I'm m agitating because I do it out of love. You know, we are, we're motivated love. Love rejoices in the truth. And that's why I, I agitate. That's why there are many others that I work with who are, who are agitators, who are factivists like I am because they, they understand what our calling in, what our calling is. We are to preach the gospel. Yes, we are to save souls. And in that process, we also have to, I mean, Proverbs 31, 8, 8 through 9 comes to mind. I mean, we're the voice for the voiceless, ensuring justice for those being crushed. Yeah, literally being crushed.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah. And, you know, the Great Commission is. Is to, you know, make disciples. And that deficiency and courage, man, it's rife, you know, it's rife all over our country. And there were many. And I, see this case as one of the examples to show that that is not true. There are many were saying, well, you know, quote unquote, woke is done and all that's over with. And I'm just like, whoa, when you say those kind of things, it shows that there's potentially an ignorance as to the nature of evil. Like, it doesn't stop. It doesn't just say, oh, well, lost that one. Guess I'll go and go. Go hiking. You know, that. That's not, that's not how it works. it doesn't at all. Because the reality is discipleship is a constant. There's. There's a lot. You mentioned that complicity often is a result of apathy. You know, that what we allow is reflective of what we also embrace and believe. Not only what we are affirmatively representing, but what we passively, and I would argue negligently allow speaks to that as well. But in. In terms of the idea that, you know, the era of woke is over, what would you say to somebody would say, oh, Rhyen, why are you making a big deal out all of this stuff? You know, Trump was elected and those things are passe. What would you say to a person who would say that to you?

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Okay, well, Trump is not Jesus, no matter the AI renderings that are released, he is not our savior, only Christ is our savior. And you're right, evil doesn't. I mean, evil is relentless. It never sleeps. Thankfully, God and his goodness are even more powerful. But we, we have to be forever vigilant. I mean, for people to say, you know, woke is dead, and, and all these, you know, corporate America, they've. They've now separated from. They just change the names and they just wait. That's what evil likes to do. Just like this is lay low for a little bit. And then all of a sudden we'll re. Emerge and we'll call it something on social, emotional learning. Yeah, that's what they call it in elementary schools. Yeah, it's the same garbage. It's the same critical race theory, which. Critical race theory isn't the beginning of evil has existed in all kinds of forms and separation and trying to pretend that, you know, the word of God isn't the answer. And the remedy for humankind's ale. Ales. I mean, critical race theory is Nothing new. It's just. It's a rebrand of evil from, way back when. And so it really frustrates me because it allows Christians the false sense of confidence that they've done it, we've done our job. And like you said, with discipleship, my kids are 21, 18, 17, and 15. The discipleship never ends. It may take on different forms and different tactics, but it never ends. Because Satan is constantly seeking to devour. He does not take time off. And we as Christians can't take time off either.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Amen. I mean, it is not our place to be perpetually on defense. We have got to assert affirmatively what it is we're seeking to pursue. You know, I've been talking a lot recently about with, the ascendancy of things like the Democratic Socialists of America and all of the things that are happening because there has been a chasm that's created that has allowed the messages of the DSA to be attractive to a segment of our society. And I've said it's not enough for us to highlight the historical evidences that the facts are. Marxism, wherever it's been embraced, has bred death, poverty and destruction every single time.

DSA is gaining popularity, but lack of understanding of history is problem

Absolutely right. But it's not enough for us to say that without offering a clear affirmative vision for what we should pursue, not merely what we are resisting and opposed to, but what are we affirmatively pursuing. And that needs to be, even the more fervently and passionately communicated. What do you say in light of that? Especially with the example like the dsa, gaining more and more popularity, the Democrat nominee for the US Senate seat in Michigan, just this week, is a close fellow and close friend and fellow with Hasan Piker and all of the DSA people. While he's saying, I'm not a Marxist, but all my friends just happen to be Marxist Islamists. But I'm not one M. Right, sure.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Sure you're not. so they depend on, on ignorance. And what better way to be able to dupe a population than to dumb them down in our public schools? Because that's what keeps happening. That's why these, these scores that keep falling. This is not, this is not unintentional. I mean, there is, there is a reason why. And not having a grasp of history allows people like the, the, the Democratic Socialists of America, the, the Communists of America to pretend that history doesn't matter and they can just make up stuff. Like when you heard AOC talking about the Senate was created by Jim Crow. Well, the Senate was formed. I Think I believe in 1789. Yes. Jim Crow laws and black coats, all this. 1877 is when that emerged. So no, the Senate was not created by Jim Crow. But when you have no understanding of history and you're, you're prone to just reacting to, oh, well, it's racism. Jim Crow. That's horrible. Well, of course you brought us Jim Crow. You can thank the Democratic Party. Of, course you wouldn't know that from the black Smithsonian, the African American Museum of History and Culture. I just went to that a few days ago. And you would never know. It was almost like there weren't two parties involved in the abolition of slavery. But dsa, they, they depend on the total ignorance of, of the past so that they rewrite the present. And for people who want to give up on capitalism, as, as an economic theory, it's, it's absolutely insane. But it's because we have abandoned like what I have on my shirt. We have abandoned basic truths. We've abandoned basic truths about ourselves. And it's so much. If you can confuse people and get them to just disregard who we're created to be, everything else is easy. And that's why they, they've had such a stranglehold. Because we have, we have a spiritual crisis going on in this country, Y. An education crisis. But more importantly, we have a spiritual crisis which is allowing these, these openings and for people to embrace such destructive lies. I can't even believe, I cannot believe we're facing this in 2026. And I'll tell you what, the conservatives who are laughing this off, I hope AOC runs and I yo, let the DSA run. You guys are ignorant. You don't even see that evil is right at the gate and, and the gate's been blown down.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Man.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: I'm an optimist, though. I am an optimist because I do believe that Christians can turn this around. And it is only Christians that will be able to turn this around to influence those in power, including Trump, to be making better decisions, including our other elected leaders. So I am hopeful. I'm not a doom and gloom. But my word. Wake up, people. Wake up.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: What is the core of your hope? You say you're not, you're optimistic and you have hope. What's the core of that?

>> Rhyen Bomberger: Jesus. I mean, that's the only. That's. He is the reason for hope. He is the reason for, for the confidence that we can shift culture, that we, as a praying nation. I mean, my people, called by my name, will humble themselves and pray oh, my word. Pray. That's the only. I do that as a father. I'm praying every day for my wife and for my kiddos. That is the battleground. Jesus is the core. Jesus is the hope. And that's my only hope.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Amen.

>> Rhyen Bomberger: I have nothing without him.
