Pastor Jack Hibbs says America has invited demonic darkness into its culture, and children are paying with their lives.
In a video addressing Lindsay Clancy and the deaths of her children, Hibbs delivered an accusation that reached beyond one household to the spiritual condition of an entire nation.
“I know why Lindsay Clancy killed her babies,” he said. “It’s because Satan was allowed to have his way.”
Hibbs directly attributed the killings to demonic influence, connecting them to what he described as the collapse of Christian influence in America. He urged viewers to look past political labels and confront the conflict he believes is driving the destruction.
“Don’t look at a Republican or a Democrat,” he said. “Don’t look at a conservative or a liberal or progressive.”
Then he named the opposing powers.
“God and Satan. God and Satan.”
Hibbs argued that the killing of children exposes something far more dangerous than a culture losing its moral bearings.
“When we kill our babies, it’s evidence that we live in a post-Christian nation that is literally demonically energized and under demonic sway,” he said.
He traced his argument through the history of child sacrifice, describing the spread of biblical faith as a force that confronted practices once accepted by surrounding societies.
“Children have always been sacrificed by their parents from the beginning of time,” Hibbs said.

He pointed to Rome and Papua New Guinea as examples of places where he said Christianity helped end the killing of children.
“Why is it a fact that wherever Christianity is proclaimed and embraced, human life is honored and protected?” he asked. “What’s the change?”
Hibbs argued that America is moving in the opposite direction. He condemned abortion protections and the celebration surrounding them, connecting that acceptance of death to his broader warning about the nation.
“When there’s a void of Christianity, why does death become almost cool and celebrated?” he asked.
Hibbs explicitly rejected postpartum depression as the explanation for Clancy’s actions. He also acknowledged that the condition is real and that women experiencing it need care.
“So, I’m not discrediting postpartum depression,” he said. “It’s a real deal.”
“Women need to be loved through that, women need to be nurtured through that,” he added.
He called on families to support struggling mothers and said people experiencing mental illness, depression or brain injuries need love and protection.
“They need to be taken care of,” Hibbs said.
His indictment of the culture soon became a rebuke of the church.
Hibbs challenged declarations of revival built around crowds, music and baptisms when the preaching leaves out repentance.
“You can’t have a savior without repentance,” he said.
He accused pastors of retreating from difficult subjects out of concern for their reputations.
“People fear social media more than they fear God,” Hibbs said.
He argued that Christians’ failure to act has consequences beyond the church doors.
“Satan is running loose because we’ve allowed it,” he said. “Because we have not been the salt and the light that God called us to be.”
Hibbs even questioned whether the America established at the nation’s founding had survived to its 250th anniversary.
He closed by urging Christians to act while they still can.
“May God have mercy on America,” Hibbs said. “May we do the right thing even if we’ve run out of time.”
