We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
This weekend, a much smaller group of Promise Keepers gathered in Tulsa at a very different moment for evangelicals — with less decisive answers to those questions. Headed by a new young CEO, the group is leaning into partisan politics where it once eschewed them, and equipping men to do battle not only with their own spiritual weaknesses but also with a secular culture that speakers portrayed as uniquely hostile.
“They want American men to be weak, put into corners, afraid of your own shadow,” right-wing activist Charlie Kirk said at the two-day conference, which drew about 2,000 men. “If men, and Christian men, start to recommit to the truths of the promises of the Bible, this country can and will be saved.”
Kirk launched TPUSA Faith to influence pastors and other Christians to “counter falsehoods and illuminate the inextricable link between faith and God-given liberty,” according to its website. Several speakers who were at the conference are associated with TPUSA Faith, including John K. Amanchukwu, a pastor and activist who told the crowd that Democrats were “a bunch of punks and perverts.”
“If you’re not planning to vote, repent,” said another speaker, Allen Jackson, a pastor in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, stopping short of instructing the men how to vote. Other speakers included Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma and the state’s governor, Kevin Stitt, who both spoke on a panel about Christians and political engagement.

TULSA, Okla. — With his back to the U.S. Capitol, Randy Phillips faced a sea of evangelical men who had traveled from all over the country to pray, sing and recommit themselves to their families. It was an autumn Saturday in 1997, and Promise Keepers, a fast-growing conservative Christian men’s...
