        <![CDATA[<p>In this throwback edition of the America Held Hostage podcast, Jon is joined by his late Uncle Merle (aka Uncle FreightTrain) to talk about heresy in our churches that allows men to be passive and controlling women to take the lead. Cultural Chaos then ensues when MEN inside and outside the church abdicate their Biblical, God-given roles - which leads to strife, oppression, dissension, and ruin begins to pour out into our streets because before politics and culture comes the family. And when families stop honoring GOD and protecting the Imago Dei, a culture unravels from within!!</p><p>From the Stally Brand digital studios - Be Challenged, Be Encouraged, and Become Engaged to "stand Boldly without wavering upon the Hope that we confess." - Heb. 10:23</p>]]>

And is it time to criminalize the slaughter of the innocent inside the womb especially if women are transing their kids, pushing pronoun paganism in classrooms across the country, and shouting their abortions as Jezebel Karens who follow demonic lies &amp; show they desperately need Jesus?! </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>The parallels to today are striking in this America Held Hostage throwback podcast. We take you back to the Summer of 2020 as Riots broke out across the country and we found out how organized Antifa was before ICE. Uncle Merle Hinton (aka Uncle Freighttrain) and Mark Hinton cry out for justice and plead for the US government to punish wickedness across the country. All 3 Hinton men emplore the Church to take a bold and righteous stand regardless of the outcome against wickedness run amok, doing so with eternity in Mind. The podcast in retrospect sounds like prophecy, listen as a warning to prepare for what's already here and coming again soon.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this Bonus throwback episode of the America Held Hostage podcast, Jon is joined by his Father, Mark and his now late Uncle Merle (aka Uncle FreightTrain) for a discussion that turned out to be truly prophetic then &amp; now. All 3 Hinton men discuss how cowardice inside churches brings judgment upon nations, how weak leadership leads nations into chaos and ruin, that demonic attacks are allowed in a culture by God to sift His sheep from goats, and spur on courage in the people of God who discern what time it is (aka that we are "made for such a time as this"). Then Jon finishes the podcast with his eulogy to his Late Uncle that includes the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Enjoy this timeless, lively, and fun discussion that is sure to spur others on toward Love and Good Deeds.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>As we finalize our technological difficulties occurring in other parts of the country, we continue with AHH throwback podcasts that are still relevant today as much as they were 6 yrs ago. In this episode, we take you back to Jon's interview with Radio Commentator and Conservative Activist Shannon Joy of Western NY. They discuss the godless left's physical intimidation tactics and violent threats during covid, the lack of principled manhood in America who for the most part did nothing to stop what was happening all around them, and the utter cowardice of most pastors/parishioners who rather than Stand Boldly upon the Gospel bowed to a spirit of fear and hopelessness in the day of trouble. Jon then finishes with a fire commentary on the way moving forward inspired by Dr. Voddie Baucham that still applies to this day. </p>]]>

Join Jon and Kyle as they revisit the BLM riots of George Floyd in Minneapolis and how the spirit of age showed its woke hypocrisy then as it still does today. They also talk about how the Babylon Bee put their Christian faith into action to help those in need during Wu-Flu lockdowns. Finally, both men discuss how to navigate these trying times in a Post-Christian America that resembles Babylon more than it does a promised land of freedom &amp; liberty. It's a relevant discussion to ponder that rings more true now than it did 6 yrs ago.</p>]]>

Dr. Everett Piper, the fmr. President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, joined the show to discuss with Jon why the American Church had become so scroteless in an age of lockdowns, how America's education system has failed an entire generation, why church discipline and rebuking/correcting the flock is sorely needed for those who walk with BLM (wokeness), how the Western Church in large has been taken captive by unbiblical/deceptive philosophies, and what real men/leaders need to do now in churches across America.</p>]]>
