Amanda Grace of Ark of Grace Ministries issued a sobering warning about the state of the conservative movement, expressing deep embarrassment over the chaos and immaturity she says have taken root.
“We are watching right now in the conservative movement…the most horrific jabs and focusing on the most superficial nonsense when there’s actually people struggling in this nation,” she said, pointing to families who are wondering how they will keep the lights on or feed their children.

Grace highlighted the absurdity of public fights over things as trivial as “the size of a wedding ring” while some voices within the movement seek to blame Israel for “absolutely everything under the sun.” She reminded listeners that God made an unbreakable covenant with Abraham for the nation of Israel: “If people don’t like that, take it up in the court of God.”
She warned that narcissism, paganism and the spirit of Amalek have infiltrated the conservative movement, lowering its moral standard “into the muck and mire of the pig pen of the world.” Instead of setting an example for Generation Z, many conservative commentators—who often “want for nothing”—are engaging in public name-calling, filthy language and personal attacks.
Grace likened the movement to biblical King Saul, whose kingdom was torn away because of disobedience and rebellion. She warned that any commentator who continues down a path of arrogance and defiance risks losing their platform: “The kingdom… that platform will be torn away from you in this time.”
She urged believers to recognize that these public feuds serve up “slop” to both political opponents and “the kingdom of darkness,” giving them ammunition to throw back at the movement.

“The conservative movement has evicted Jesus Christ for all this other nonsense,” Grace said. “They’re talking about the very filth that grieves Him… when the Word of God says death and life are in the power of the tongue. Right now they’re speaking nothing but death.”
Her closing charge was clear: pray, armor up and remain discerning in this season. “There is an infiltration… that is destroying it all from within,” she warned. “Be in prayer right now. Keep the faith.”
