Dustin Faulkner Explains How COVID-19 Has Forced Christians to Rethink How We Do Church

COVID-19 has changed the lives of millions of Americans. For many of us, we had everything stripped away… our friends, family, jobs and even churches. Because of the tyrannical lockdowns imposed by authoritarian government officials, many churches stopped gathering together in person. During this episode of Conversations with Jeff, Dustin Faulkner and Jeff Dornik explain how these lockdowns have forced Christians to rethink how we do church and whether we’ve been doing it Biblically even before COVID-19.

Dustin Faulkner Explains how COVID-19 has Forced Christians to Rethink how we do Church

For many Christians and Conservatives, the past year and a half of this COVID-19 “pandemic” has been eye-opening, to say the least. If you would’ve told me that our government would have illegally commanded churches to stop gathering together for church and thousand of pastors across the country would comply, I would’ve said you’re crazy. Unfortunately, I’d be wrong.

What we’ve witnessed throughout these COVID-19 lockdowns is a willingness and even an eagerness to go along with whatever we are told on TV. If an expert who works for the government said that unless everyone opens their windows and turns their air conditioning on, the earth is going to burn because of global warming… I honestly think we’d have millions of people obeying orders.

Pastors, however, should know better. But then again, I would argue that most church leaders are not that well-versed in Scripture. Instead, they are trained in entrepreneurship, marketing, social media and being a good motivational speaker. So when the Globalist Cabal demands that churches close while liquor stores and strip clubs stay open, our churches should’ve simply ignored those requests.

Instead, we’ve not only seen pastors close their churches, often times improperly citing Romans 13, but we’ve seen them actively push the Leftist propaganda from their pulpits. As we explained in our book Church & State: How the Left Used the Church to Conquer America, the Left knows that they just have to compromise the pastors, and then they’ll push their propaganda all day long.

With this understanding, Dustin Faulkner and I took a deep dive into what church is supposed to be vs what it is today. Today, we see Evangelical Churches as nothing more than a performance on Sundays and a bunch of programs scattered throughout the week. It’s not a church family, it’s a business and we are the consumers.

Genesis Won't Use Gimmicks

If we look at the book of Acts, however, we see a much different vision for the church. The early church met in homes, had meals together… lived life together. It was a family, not a business. The modern day church has lost that focus, and we are seeing the serious ramifications play out before our eyes.

Had we been gathering together in smaller numbers, possibly even meeting in churches, we’d be a much stronger community. We’d have each others’ back. We’d be able to maneuver these waters in a more biblical fashion instead of being restricted because of our tax-exempt status.

Plus, there’s something about gathering together in person and making those personal connections. I’ve worked with Dustin for years building The GateKeepers and now Freedom First Network. However, we met in person for the first time at Matt Couch’s Faith & Freedoms Conference a couple months ago. You can build a better bond through in-person conversation than you ever can through a screen.

God seemed to know what He was talking about when He commanded the church to “let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)

He also co-authored two books with me, which you can get in our online bookstore. In the book Social Injustice: Exposing the False Gospel of the Social Justice Movement, Dustin confronted the issue of Illegal Immigration from a Biblical Perspective. In the book Church & State: How the Left Used the Church to Conquer America, he exposed the corrupt and sinister plot to use The Gospel Coalition to compromise church leaders everywhere. Or you can get both as a bundle pack to save some money. Use code JEFF for 10% off of either of these books in The GK Store.



American Patriots Uniting to Fight Tyranny from, Well, Everywhere

We’re building a new conservative news network. Based on responses from fellow patriots, we’re heading in the right direction.

It may be hard to believe based on what we’re seeing around the nation today, but there are many reasons to be hopeful. First and foremost, the false narrative that most of America hates traditional values or the foundations of our nation are finally being proven false. Despite the best efforts of globalists and Neo-Marxists, patriotic Americans are starting to unify in droves. Meanwhile, Joe Biden can barely muster a half-filled auditorium to deliver his message to the scant few watching CNN and the paid shills in the “crowd.”

The “silent majority” that drove Donald Trump to victory in 2016 and 2020 (yes, he won by a landslide but was robbed along with the American people) is finally starting to realize we cannot stay silent any longer. We used to win with our votes, but those are being stolen. We used to win with truth, but the radical left and their agents in mainstream media, Big Tech, and academia are building a post-truth society to drown out reality. Today, we are waking up to the realization that only through direct action and fearlessly spreading the truth can we overcome the nefarious forces working against us.

MyPatriotSupply Candles

We are proud to be working our way up to the tip of the conservative media spear. Our network is growing. We’re establishing strong partnerships with like-minded news outlets and courageous journalists. Even as Big Tech suppresses us, the honest messages they’re trying to quash are finding their way to the eyes and ears of patriots across the nation. With the help of new content partners like The Epoch Times and The Liberty Daily, we’re starting to see a real impact.

Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:

  • NOQ Report
  • Conservative Playlist
  • Truth. Based. Media.
  • Freedom First Network
  • Based Underground
  • Uncanceled News
  • American Conservative Movement
  • Conservative Playbook
  • Our Gold Guy

Some of our content is spread across all of these sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.

The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).

“Nations, states, and central banks are quietly but rapidly shifting their money to precious metals. With bank runs, recession, CBDCs, and worse on the horizon, it’s easy to see why. NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)

To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $2200-$7800 per month. May, 2021, for example, was amazing and we almost broke even. June, revenue was sluggish at best and we had to make up a big difference out of our pockets. But we’re not just trying to get out of the red. If and when we start getting enough contributions to expand, we will do just that. Very few get into journalism to try to get rich and we’re definitely not among those who do. Our success is driven by spreading the truth, profitable or not.

The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8

Time is short. As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.

Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
