About this listen

In this sobering episode of Wake Up Look Up, Zach Weihrauch reflects on the tragic story of Thomas Crooks—the would-be assassin who attempted to kill President Trump—and asks a haunting question: Could the church have made a difference? Drawing from an in-depth profile in the New York Times, Zach explores the isolation, mental health struggles, and radicalization that shaped Crooks' path—and how the presence of a faithful Christian community might have changed the outcome. This isn’t about politics or security—it’s about evangelism, neighbor love, and the urgent call for the church to reach those on the margins. If you're tempted to look away, don’t. This episode challenges us to see, to act, and to love—because eternity could depend on it.
