Countering America’s Establishment Revolution with the Gospel
As our nation increasingly crumbles all around us, CapMin remains steadfast on launching more ministries to governmental leaders across the nation.
“Victor Davis Hanson has appropriately titled and codified that what we are experiencing in America is not like the ‘60’s Hippy Revolution of sorts—a bottom-up kind of revolt. Instead, America finds itself entrenched in an all-out ‘Establishment Revolution,’ wherein the leaders of five of the seven Hills of Influence are forcing their wokeness on the vast majority of the population who are not woke, but biblical in their morality and worldview,” said Ralph Drollinger, President and Founder of Capitol Ministries.
“I believe Hanson’s analysis and titling are right-on. And the only way to combat the aberrant lifestyles and ideologies being forced upon the opposing majority is with the Gospel. The only way to combat this top-down evil influence is to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ right to them individually!”
That’s what CapMin does—and the jury is not out as it relates to one of the seven Hills of Influence—Civil Government. The Hills of Media, Education, Entertainment, Sports, and now most recently, Commerce are increasingly well baked. All of them increasingly display anti-Christian values, mock biblical principles, and attempt to drive the believers out of them.
But one of the Hills of Influence is still up for grabs—and it is the most influential of them all: Civil Government Leaders.
“It follows that evangelizing and discipling political leaders in Christ, imparting to them a Christian worldview at every level of their career path—is of the utmost and critical importance!” Ralph said.
“I strongly believe that if this Hill too is lost, our nation will be irreparably damaged and apart from a revival, it will not be capable of resuscitation. If we lose Civil Government to top-down woke secularism the cultural battle will be over.
“The minority that is pushing the woke agenda will have won the Establishment Revolution. The biblically-based majority population will have lost.”
In response, CapMin staff are participating in 40 pastor conferences throughout the country this year to recruit pastors to start Local Government Ministries. In fact, CapMin will be the lead sponsor at the 19 Pastor Appreciation Days that media giant and close friend, Salem Media Group produces in conjunction with its Christian preaching format radio stations in America’s largest media markets. That in itself will put us in front of 10,000 Evangelical, gospel-preaching pastors of whom we seek to recruit to multiply the establishment of ongoing Local Government Ministries.
In addition, CapMin will also participate in numerous upcoming Southern Baptist and Independent Baptist Conventions, both state and national meetings.
“We have the honor of presenting the Capitol Ministries mission to 20,000 pastors in-person,” said Dr. Dan DeShong, CapMin’s Director of LGM.
“CapMin local and state leaders are participating in these events to share our mission, biblical mandate, and methodology in order to recruit pastors and qualified laymen to start evangelism and discipleship ministries to their local political leaders.
“We’re asking, who in your church, if not you, would make a good disciple maker across the street in city hall?”
“Church leaders have been so happy to learn that all of this is offered to them at no cost. All CapMin is asking is that they raise up Bible teachers from their congregations. We provide the curriculum—hundreds of in-depth Bible studies that have been specifically written for public servants—we provide training, ongoing mentorship, and certification.”
Ralph casts the vision at the beginning of the pastor appreciation events. In a brief video, Ralph talks about the CapMin mission, the biblical mandate, and the methodology to recruit Bible teachers to establish weekly Bible studies and disciple city and county leaders to maturity in the faith through teaching God’s Word. See video here.
Ralph explains that local government is where most state and national leaders begin their careers. As they move to the next level of government, these public servants may attend Bible studies that CapMin has established in 43 states and in Washington, D.C. or they may sponsor a ministry in states that do not already have one.
“Our mission is to reach public servants every week at every level in their career paths,” he said. “Building an infrastructure to continually make disciples of Jesus Christ in the political arena is the only way to turn our country around. It is the only way to effectively combat the huge momentum of the now-entrenched Establishment Revolution. We need to make sure strong in-Christ elected leaders continue to wield their biblically based influence in this most influential institution. This is the way to do it.”
“The Hills of the Church and State, if they persevere in their Christian worldview can effectively combat and quell the evil forces being promulgated by the other five.”
Capitol Ministries is requesting prayers for God’s leading and that relationships are built, and partnerships are forged at these first upcoming events:
Detroit, Michigan, May 9
Los Angeles, California, May 10
New York City, New York, May 11
Columbus, Ohio, May 23
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 25
Please pray, too, that much fruit would result from meetings CapMin men had with pastors and church leaders at the Pastor Appreciation Day that was held last week on April 18 in Cleveland, Ohio.
At this time, 40 new LGM leaders have been approved across America and more than around 200 more men are in the process of being trained and credentialed.
“Our objective is to establish ongoing, strong Bible-study based ministries to the 500,000 city and county public servants in the 40,000 incorporated cities and counties across the United States,” Ralph said.
As our long-held Christian values are under increasing attack and our nation continues to rapidly deteriorate, the stakes for the United States are high, said Dr. Dan. “Please pray for the growth and significant logistics of this great mission to help turn the tide of our country by discipling elected officials so they may lead our country through the lens of Scripture.”
