Can the Church Still Win America?

Can the Church Still Win America?

November 10, 2026 · 42 min

Can the Church still win America? Pastor Doug Wilson joins Pastor Tim Hatch on The Deep End to discuss Christian nationalism, the culture war, the future of Christianity in America, and why he believes the Church should expect victory—not defeat.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Doug Wilson explains what Christian nationalism actually means, why Christians should care about the direction of their nation, and how biblical theology shapes his understanding of government, politics, and cultural change.

Following the 2026 midterm elections, Pastor Tim and Doug examine a question facing Christians across America: Are we watching Christianity lose its influence, or are we overlooking what God is accomplishing through His Church?

Their discussion goes beyond elections and political parties to explore the Great Commission, postmillennialism, the authority of Jesus Christ over nations, and the responsibility of Christians to engage with the world around them.

• What Doug Wilson believes Christian nationalism really means

• The 2026 midterm elections and America's political future

• Why Christians shouldn't assume the culture war is lost

• Postmillennialism and the biblical case for Christian victory

• Whether government can ever be morally neutral

• Abortion, legislation, and the relationship between biblical morality and public policy

• Immigration, globalization, and the future of Western civilization

• The Great Commission and what it means to disciple nations

• Why strong families, faithful churches, and raising the next generation matter

Can Christians lose political battles while still advancing Christ's Kingdom? What would it actually mean for America to become a Christian nation? And how should believers respond when the culture appears to be moving further away from biblical truth?

Whether you agree with Doug Wilson's conclusions or are exploring these questions for the first time, this conversation challenges Christians to think carefully about faith, politics, culture, and the mission of the Church.
