Episode 159 — The Great Awakening And The Battle For The Soul Of America w/ J.D. Hall

Is Christian Zionism approaching its breaking point? In Episode 159 of The Backlash, Dave sits down with returning guest J.D. Hall for a wide-ranging examination of dispensationalism, the Israel lobby’s influence within American Christianity, and the growing revolt against unconditional support for the modern State of Israel.

J.D. recounts his recent appearance with Tucker Carlson, reflects on his fiery debate with Dinesh D’Souza, and explains why he believes dispensational Zionism has reached a theological and historical dead end. The conversation explores how pro-Israel organizations have cultivated influence across Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox institutions—and how accusations of “antisemitism” are used to silence Christians who challenge that influence.

Dave also details the organized harassment, doxxing, and political retaliation directed at The Backlash and its supporters in North Idaho. Is this merely political warfare, or does the obsessive campaign against dissent point toward something deeper and more spiritual?

Finally, Dave and J.D. discuss collapsing evangelical support for Israel, the power of independent media to break establishment narratives, the future of Christian cooperation across denominational lines, and why the truth—once released—cannot be forced back into containment.
