Glenn took to the stage with Tucker Carlson to remind the American people of who they are: children of God called to live in hope.
The political elites have finally caught on to what the American people have been feeling over the past four years now that they are "campaign worthy" talking points: desperate and jaded. Politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle are harping on the economic strains plaguing the average American, from increasing inflation to fewer available jobs.
But it's too little too late. The gaping chasm between the facts and figures touted by the elites and the actual lived experience of the average American remains as wide as ever.
The media doesn't know strain on your wallet when you go to the grocery store to fill your family's pantry with basic necessities. Politicians can't relate to the sweat on your forehead while prices at the gas pump climb higher and higher. The elites can't empathize with the trauma of witnessing your small town being overrun by illegal immigrants who are given housing and healthcare while you are trying to hold down a job.
Yet, for four years, the media and political elites' gaslighting campaign tried to convince you that none of your lived experience was actually real. They told you the economy was booming, available jobs were skyrocketing, and unhinged immigration is stimulating the economy.
But you weren't fooled.
Now that they've realized that their gaslighting campaign is no match for the lived-out experience of the American people, the elites have changed their tune. Once a defender of open immigration and importing migrants, Kamala Harris is now calling for a Trumpian border wall—all the while insisting that her "values have never changed." Once Biden's senility was no longer concealable, the mainstream media stopped defending Bidenomics and used his failed economic policies to pave his path out of the White House.
Chances are, this new-found attempt at empathy doesn't fool you either. They can't reduce your life to a mere talking point.
Can we do anything to change our country's trajectory?
Given this context, how do you find hope when you feel like you don't have a voice, when you feel like your hands are tied while you watch the elites transform your country into something unrecognizable? This is the question that Tucker Carlson posed to Glenn while in Salt Lake City during Tucker's live tour. Glenn answered the same way he always does: turn back to God and live hopefully.
Glenn told Tucker he's "not afraid because [he] already knows the ending." He knows God will have the final say in the end, no matter how mankind schemes within the halls of earthly institutions. This should be the root of our hope.
Yet living with hope doesn't stop there. Knowing how things will end doesn't mean our hands are tied in the present. As Glenn poignantly said in his prayer while on stage with Tucker, we are God's servants, "grateful to serve at this time." God can and is using us now, in our present moment, to carry out His will and purposes. As Glenn powerfully put, "The Lord will use any person, any flaws, anybody, if you just will say 'yes.'"
Glenn's 3 practical ways to live hopefully in dark times
What are the practical things we can do to live hopefully during these uncertain times? Glenn suggested three ways to Tucker. The first way is to believe that evil and corruption can be overcome. Glenn said the other side will surely win when "our side believ[es] you can't overcome massive corruption." We must believe that change is possible.
Secondly, Glenn said we can't be afraid:
When you are broken down and have nothing left, you become the most powerful person in the world. Everyone is afraid because you're not.
The elites want you to be afraid because that's how they sieze control. Living fearlessly is one of the most powerful deterrents to keep their schemes at bay.
Lastly, Glenn touched on one of most powerful tools in our political belt: vote. Glenn couldn't have put it more clearly: "Get your fat a** out of the chair and grab people and take them to the polls."
In November, we will have the choice between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Regarding the former, Glenn says, "We have a guy who is willing to die for the country. Not his fame. Not his fortune. His country." Regarding the latter, we have a radical puppet for the elites who will change any policy point to get into the Oval Office. If we stay home on election day and resign ourselves to a stolen election, we are handing her the Oval Office on a silver platter.
This fight isn't new, and this should give us hope.
Glenn said, "We are fighting the same battle as we have fought from the very beginning [...] as old as the tower of babel, as old as Satan being cast out." This shouldn't deter us, but rather give us hope. The struggles and evils plaguing America are real, and these battles graft us into the long history of the faithful who have been fighting for truth since the beginning of God's redemptive plans for mankind.
As Glenn told Tucker and the live audience in Salt Lake City, these hard times shouldn't make us cynical and fearful. We should be fearless and hopeful in the face of those who are behind these attacks. Doing so will link our arms with those who will come before us and pave the way for those who will come after us until the day when God will have the final word.
