The People’s Revival

Every broken thing in this country has a preacher’s fingerprint on it.

Don’t look to Washington for the rot—it started in the sanctuaries.

While men in suits prayed for profit, the poor starved under their steeples.

While the working class cried for justice, pastors preached patience and called it faith.

You want to know why America’s burning?

Blame the damn pulpits.

The sickness in this nation didn’t fall from the sky—it was preached from microphones.

Pastors who should’ve stood with the people stood instead with their biggest donors.

They replaced repentance with branding, courage with comfort, prophecy with politics.

They baptized empire in holy water and called it revival.

Every time a pastor refused to speak against injustice because it might offend the tithers—

every time they wrapped a flag around the cross—

every time they preached heaven to the hungry but never broke bread with them— a piece of America’s soul died.

Blame the damn pulpits.

The nation didn’t lose its way in Congress. It lost it in the churches.

The people were told to “trust authority” when authority was corrupt.

They were told to “submit to leaders” who sold their birthright for book sales.

They were told to “honor the system” even as that system devoured their children.

The modern pulpit has become the most cowardly place in America.

It could’ve been a weapon of truth, a furnace of courage— instead, it became a stage for cowards in designer sneakers, selling God like a product to a dying world.

And when you ask who let fascism crawl back into the daylight, who wrapped Christ in camouflage and called it patriotism— you already know.

Blame the damn pulpits.

If the pulpit won’t speak truth, the streets will.

If the churches won’t bear witness, the people will.

Let the working class preach now—the laborers, the healers, the ones who’ve seen the system chew them up.

Let the holy fire move from cathedral to alleyway, from marble floors to union halls, from pulpits to park benches.

This is the People’s Revival.

We will not wait for permission.

We will not beg for platforms.

We will build altars out of broken tables and call the poor blessed again.

We will preach Christ with calloused hands, not corporate ties.

And when they ask why we’ve turned our backs on the religious machine- tell them we didn’t turn our backs.

We’re just cleaning up the mess they made.

Blame the damn pulpits.
