Dear friend,

The article below first appeared on my Christian blog, The Daily Remnant—a place where I speak more freely and more spiritually about the battles we face.

If Nation First is about fighting for faith, family, and freedom in the public square, The Daily Remnant is about going deeper—into the eternal truths that hold civilisation together. It’s where I write about God, culture, Scripture, spiritual warfare, and the moral collapse we’re living through.

And it’s free. Every article is publicly available. Those who become paid subscribers are effectively donating to the ministry. All funds go back into the work, whether via contracting top writers, or promoting the blog to the wider world. Beyond this, excess funds will be donated to persecuted Christians in need.

If you’re hungry for more than politics—if you want clarity, courage, and Christian conviction—then The Daily Remnant is for you.

We are living through a civilisational crisis.

It is not just economic or political—it is moral, spiritual, and cultural. The foundations of our society are being eroded by ideologies that mock truth, attack tradition, and hollow out the human spirit. In their place, we’re given state surveillance, sexual confusion, open borders, corporate tyranny, global technocracy, and a culture of nihilism that calls it “progress.”

This is not progress. It is collapse dressed up in buzzwords.

But there is a better way.

I call it the Way of Faith, Family, and Freedom. It is not a party platform or a think tank policy paper. It is a worldview; a vision for how individuals, communities, and nations should live and flourish. It’s grounded in history, reinforced by common sense, and vindicated by the simple fact that it works.

• Civilisation is collapsing under ideologies that mock truth, destroy culture, and enslave the human spirit through globalist control and moral decay.

• Western society must return to its Christian roots, where truth, order, and human dignity are grounded in divine reality.

• The natural family must be restored as society’s cornerstone, defending children, honouring parents, and resisting attacks on gender and parenthood.

• Freedom must be rooted in virtue, protected from both authoritarianism and moral chaos, allowing people to live according to conscience.

• Truth must be spoken boldly in an age of lies, because only truth has the power to withstand collapse and rebuild what has been lost.

Let me lay it out plainly.

1. Faith: The Soul of Civilisation

At the heart of any culture is a set of beliefs about what is true, what is good, and what is sacred.

Our civilisation — Western civilisation —was built upon the Christian faith. That doesn’t mean everyone was a churchgoer. But it does mean our laws, liberties, and institutions were shaped by a Christian moral vision: that every person has dignity, that truth is objective, that there is a natural order to life, and that evil must be resisted.

When we abandon faith, we don’t become free thinkers, we become slaves to ideology. In today’s world, that ideology is a mix of wokeism, hedonism, and technocratic control.

We must return to our spiritual roots. Not to impose a theocracy but to rekindle the light that once guided our civilisation.

2. Family: The First Institution

Before the state, before the market, before the media, there was the family.

It is the foundation of every healthy society. Strong families raise strong children. They care for the elderly. They pass on wisdom, values, and belonging. Without families, the state becomes a surrogate parent and the result is social breakdown.

Today, the family is under attack. From radical gender ideology in schools, to no-fault divorce, to economic policies that punish stay-at-home parenting and force both parents into the workforce, modern society makes it harder and harder to form and keep families together.

We must restore the family to its rightful place as the cornerstone of our communities. That means protecting children. Valuing mothers and fathers. And rejecting ideologies that undermine the basic truth that men and women are different and that’s a good thing.

3. Freedom: Ordered, Not Anarchic

Freedom is not the absence of rules. It is the space to live rightly without coercion from tyrants.

Real freedom means:

• Freedom of speech even when it offends.

• Freedom of religion, even when it defies political fashion.

• Freedom to own property, raise your children, and live in accordance with your conscience.

But freedom requires virtue. A society without moral restraint collapses into chaos, and chaos is always followed by control.

That’s why I reject both the authoritarianism of the Left and the moral decay of the libertine Right. We need a freedom rooted in virtue, one that protects the individual but upholds the common good.

4. Nation: A People with a Soul

A nation is more than a GDP figure or a flag on a pole. It is a people united by common ancestry, culture, language, faith, and memory.

Nations must be governed for their citizens, not for foreign investors, global bureaucrats, or ideologues in Geneva. That means:

• Ending mass immigration schemes that dilute national cohesion.

• Defending national borders and national industries.

• Withdrawing from globalist treaties that override national sovereignty.

• Saying no to the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, and any other unelected body that wants to rule from afar.

Globalism is not just a threat to national economies. It is a threat to national identity.

5. Truth: The First Casualty

We live in an age of lies, where biological reality is denied, speech is censored, history is rewritten, and dissent is treated as extremism.

In this environment, simply speaking the truth has become a revolutionary act.

We must have the courage to name the lies and refuse to bow. Because the truth doesn’t care about your feelings, your ideology, or your diversity quota. It simply is. And those who build on truth stand firm, while those who build on lies eventually fall.

Why This Worldview Works

This is not a theory. It’s a time-tested way of life.

Societies built on faith, family, and freedom have historically flourished. They produced great art, ordered liberty, innovation with soul, and communities with meaning. They protected children. They honoured elders. They had something to live for and something to die for.

Contrast that with what we see today: record mental illness, collapsing birth rates, gender confusion, cultural self-loathing, endless wars, and digital tyranny. The modern world is rich in data, poor in wisdom. It is technologically advanced and morally bankrupt.

The Path Forward

We don’t need to invent a new ideology. We need to recover an old one.

That means building families, not bureaucracies. It means worshipping God, not government. It means loving your nation, not apologising for it. It means speaking the truth, even if it costs you.

I don’t pretend this will be easy. But I do believe it is right and necessary.

If you’ve read this far and you feel the same stirring in your soul, then you’re not alone. Join me. Let’s rebuild what they tried to destroy. Because what we fight for — faith, family, and freedom — is not just a slogan. It’s a way of life. It’s a path to renewal. And it’s worth everything.
