Jack Hibbs : You’ve Probably NEVER Heard This Before!

The Truth You Were Never Told About Socialism, Freedom, and the Future of America

America is standing at a crossroads, and the choices being made today are leaving many stunned. Conversations that once felt distant—capitalism, socialism, atheism, and faith—now shape the direction of an entire nation. And in this moment of cultural upheaval, Pastor Jack Hibbs sits down with Dr. Erwin Lutzer, a respected voice who has spent decades studying truth, history, and the Word of God.

From the beginning, Dr. Lutzer makes something clear: socialism may promise equality, but it can never create it. True socialism takes control of production, restrains initiative, and divides wealth rather than creating it. Its foundation is not need—but greed. It spends what others have built. It divides the pie without ever learning how to bake one.

And eventually, the pie runs out.

Dr. Lutzer describes visiting the Soviet Union—factories producing shoes no one could wear, workers paid whether or not the product was useful, and shelves nearly empty. Meanwhile, people survived only through unofficial bartering because government wages couldn’t sustain a family. He saw firsthand a system that punished hard work, crushed creativity, and rewarded corruption.

Jack Hibbs shares his own experiences, witnessing the stark contrast between the rich, faith-filled history of places like St. Petersburg and the cold, lifeless buildings produced under communism. He met people who lived through decades of oppression, including a woman who cried and praised God the moment the gospel was preached again on Moscow streets after years of being told “God is dead.”

Both men agree: socialism promises fairness but produces misery. It demands equality yet creates elites who consume without producing. It silences faith, suppresses initiative, and ultimately turns government leaders into the very oppressors they claim to fight.

Drawing from the Communist Manifesto, Dr. Lutzer explains that socialism aims to eliminate private property entirely. Marx believed all owners must be removed for “true democracy” to exist—a democracy where one leader controls the vote, the economy, and the people. It has happened again and again across nations.

Jack Hibbs warns that America is drifting toward that same mindset—where entitlement replaces effort, where people want the reward without the work, where leaders justify taking from those who produce to give to those who demand. As he shares his own experience in California, heavy taxation didn’t just take finances—it drained creativity, the joy of producing, and the ability to freely give. And in a fully socialist system, even that small portion he kept would disappear.

Both pastors share a painful truth: socialism doesn’t only reshape an economy—it reshapes hearts. It replaces gratitude with envy, replaces faith with dependence on the state, and replaces freedom with control.

And yet their message is filled with hope.

They believe the gospel still has the power to awaken a nation, to stir hearts, to remind people that true freedom—spiritual, moral, and even economic—flows from God, not government. Amid the confusion of the present moment, they call listeners to discernment, courage, and a renewed commitment to truth.

Because what America decides next will determine not only its politics, but its soul.
