218: Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer: Faith | Politics | Power

In this episode, I had a deep and honest conversation with Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer that pushes beyond comfort, challenges assumptions, and invites every listener to explore what they truly believe. Jackson is a member of the White House Faith Council, founder of Pastors for Trump, and one of the most outspoken voices at the intersection of faith, politics, and national leadership. I chose to have this episode because I believe real growth happens when we are willing to sit with perspectives that stretch us, activate us, or help us clarify our own truth. Whether you agree, disagree, or sit somewhere in between, this episode asks you to listen with curiosity, self-reflection, and grounded awareness. In This Episode, We Dive Into . . . — Faith in the Oval Office:  Jackson shares how he became part of the White House Faith Council and his role in uncovering what he believes to be systemic anti-Christian bias — Christian Nationalism Explained: We unpack the controversial label "white Christian nationalist," and the real tension behind religion's role in modern American politics — Church vs. State (and the Real History Behind It): Jackson breaks down the origins of "separation of church and state" — Immigration, Justice, and Compassion: We engage in an intense, honest conversation about ICE, illegal immigration, law enforcement tactics, and what it means to view these issues through the lens of Christ vs. the lens of government — Abortion, Morality, and the Value of Life: Jackson shares his unwavering stance on abortion… creating one of the rawest exchanges in this episode — Fear of God vs. Relationship With God:  We explore reverence, spiritual hierarchy, and how different understandings of God shape our behavior, compassion, and political worldview. This whole episode is not simple, neat, or one-sided. But it is REAL. It is ALIVE. And if you're listening, I trust it's because something in your spirit is ready for a deeper look at faith, politics, identity, and personal conviction.
