Tucker Carlson Talking About Spiritual Warfare in Texas Republican Event
Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson recently continued his expanding embrace of Holy Spirit-related topics, and spiritual warfare in particular.
At a Mar. 19, sold-out fundraising event for the Tarrant County Republican Party in the Fort Worth Stockyards, Texas, Carlson shared his thoughts on the country’s current political climate and the role of spiritual warfare which underpins it. He emphasized that the struggle is not merely between political parties, but between good and evil. Carlson encouraged attendees to see the spiritual war behind political battles, taking direction from Ephesians 6:12 which says, “For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

The Bible has much to say about spiritual warfare, and Carlson’s speech echoed many of these themes. In Ephesians 6:10-18, believers are encouraged to put on the full armor of God. This passage reminds us as Christians that we are actively engaged in a spiritual battle and must rely on God’s strength and protection to stand firm against the enemy.
In recent years, several big-name celebrities have spoken openly about their growing faith in Jesus, further emphasizing the importance of spiritual warfare in today’s society. For example, celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D was delivered from her alcoholism and was baptized after giving her life to Jesus Christ. In addition, she rid her household of a multitude of books and resources on witchcraft. Joining Von D in a new life in Jesus, Hispanic music megastar Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez (aka, Daddy Yankee) announced that he was retiring from music to pursue the call God put on his heart to evangelize in his home country of Puerto Rico.
Carlson’s speech at the Texas Republican event highlights the growing awareness of spiritual warfare in today’s political environment. As Christians, it is essential for us to recognize the spiritual turmoil and rely on God’s wisdom and guidance against the forces of darkness. By doing so, we can make a positive impact in our communities and the world at large, fighting for truth, righteousness and hope in the name of Jesus.{eoa}
