Holy Week, Parental Rights, Brain Chips & Crypto Chaos: A Christian View of Current Events | Daily Insurgency 4.14.25

✝️ Daily Insurgency Recap – April 14, 2025

Faith, Freedom & the Future: What Every Christian Needs to Know

Welcome to the Daily Insurgency, where faith meets the frontlines of today’s news. In this power-packed April 14th episode, co-hosts Jason Lupo and Aaron Lujan explore today’s top cultural and political topics — all viewed through a biblical lens.

🕊️ The True Meaning of Easter During Holy Week

As the world celebrates Easter with bunnies and brunch, Aaron reminds us of its true theological significance. Reflecting on Jesus’s sacrifice, he shares his plan to fast from Thursday to Sunday morning as an act of devotion. Both hosts challenge the Church to re-center Easter around the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ — not springtime distractions.

🧒 Colorado vs. Florida on Parental Rights

Jason and Aaron break down Colorado’s proposed legislation that could punish parents for “deadnaming” or “misgendering” their children. They contrast it with Florida’s SB 1288 and HB 1505, which strengthen parental rights in education and healthcare.

They argue that parental authority is under attack nationwide, and that it’s a spiritual issue — not just a political one. Christians must stand up to defend God’s design for the family before it’s dismantled by progressive policies.

🧠 Brain Implants, AI, and Revelation: Is Prophecy Unfolding?

From neural implants to AI facial recognition, the hosts compare emerging technology to the "mark of the beast" prophecy in Revelation. Referencing the 1987 film RoboCop, Aaron suggests modern tech is catching up to biblical prophecy — from tap-to-pay systems to full brain-machine interfaces.

Jason urges the Church to pay attention to the rise of globalism, digital identity systems, and a potential one-world government, saying: “It’s happening right in front of us — but no one’s watching.”

📉 $5.4 Billion Crypto Loss: Should Christians Be Concerned?

With the crypto market losing over $5 billion in a single day, Aaron calls on “Christian crypto bros” to help the Church understand this volatile space. Jason offers insight into how blockchain and crypto mirror biblical principles of honest weights and measures, but also why we may need to prepare for a return to barter.

They explore ideas like faith-based cryptocurrencies or Christian stablecoins tied to gold, food, or ammo — and how the Church can prepare for digital collapse.

🔥 Pennsylvania Governor Attacked on Passover

A shocking arson attack on Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence raises serious questions about religious protections, antisemitism, and media narratives. Jason and Aaron ask: Would it have been a “hate crime” if the target had been a Christian?

They also discuss the double standards in prosecuting hate crimes and how this affects freedom of speech and religion — especially for Bible-believing Christians.

🏛️ Meta’s Antitrust Lawsuit: Big Tech Under Fire

The federal government is going after Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) for allegedly violating antitrust laws. Aaron calls Meta a “vulture capitalist monopoly,” while Jason raises concerns about excessive government regulation of free markets.

They debate: Should the Church support the breakup of Big Tech? And what happens to free speech in a monopolized social media world?

🧱 From Minecraft to Manual Labor: Going Back to the Land

In a heartfelt moment, Aaron shares his dream of homesteading on 5.5 acres in the mountains. He believes today’s youth — glued to screens — need to return to physical skills like raising animals, chopping wood, and living off the land.

With growing instability and the risk of digital collapse, he urges believers to prepare both spiritually and practically.
