Why Pastors Must Rise Again

In this 32-minute video, Peter Demos sits down with pastor, author, and former Oklahoma state legislator Dan Fisher to uncover the forgotten legacy of the Black Robed Regiment: a band of revolutionary-era pastors who didn’t just preach truth, but literally fought for it.

Fisher challenges today’s church with hard truths: why most pastors won’t speak out, how we’ve misunderstood Romans 13, and why the separation of church and state was never biblical. From abortion to government tyranny, he pulls no punches — and calls every spiritual leader to return to his or her prophetic role before it’s too late. This isn’t just history; it’s a wake-up call for every Christian who believes in truth, liberty, and the power of biblical courage.
