Alex Kocman sits down with R. Davis Younts, a Christian attorney and former Air Force JAG, to talk about faith colliding with culture. Younts describes his path from law school to fighting for religious liberty in the military, warning that America’s supposed freedom of faith is eroding under secular humanism posing as neutrality. Davis argues that Christians can’t hide behind comfort or politeness—every law comes from a moral code, and believers have a duty to live and legislate like that’s true. Reacting to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Younts calls it more than politics—it’s a spiritual war, a clash between the worship of God and the worship of man. Together, they dismantle the “stay out of politics” mindset, urging Christians to see activism as mission work. They reject the idea that the gospel and public life can be separated: truth offends—but it also saves. Christians must train now to stand firm later—financially, morally, spiritually. The world doesn’t need more nice believers; it needs missionaries with the heart of activists and activists with the heart of missionaries, ready to fight darkness with conviction, not compliance.
