Should Christians stay out of politics, or does faith demand civic responsibility? Pastor Rob McCoy, former mayor of Thousand Oaks, California, and co-founder of TPUSA Faith, joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to discuss the erosion of Judeo-Christian values and what it will take to preserve Western civilization. From his friendship with Charlie Kirk and the Ten Commandments' influence on America's founding principles to political apathy, religious freedom in South Korea, and the rise of antisemitism, McCoy explains why he believes the church must reclaim its role as society's moral conscience. With the midterms approaching, are Christians doing enough to defend the principles that made America free?
