In this urgent episode of The Faithful Citizen Podcast, we revisit one of our most pressing themes—what happens when the Church refuses to speak, when faith is traded for influence, and when the radical middle collapses under the weight of spectacle and silence.

With Prime Minister Mark Carney now leading Canada, Pierre Poilievre left without a seat, and Christian nationalist voices like Sean Feucht drawing crowds on Canadian soil, it’s time to confront the myth that “it can’t happen here.”

From the complicity of Canadian pulpits to the fractures within the Conservative Party’s religious base, we explore why the Church risks losing far more than elections—we’re losing credibility, integrity, and our ability to hold space for grace and truth in the public square.

Episode Highlights:

- Why Christian nationalism isn’t just an American problem anymore

- The danger of a Church that refuses to name the moment

- Disillusionment within the Conservative Party’s faith base

- What Mark Carney’s win reveals—and demands—from the Church

- Reclaiming faithfulness in Canada’s disappearing middle
