As cultural tensions rise and accusations fly both inside and outside the church, Bishop Alan DiDio and Dr. Malachi O’Brien tackle one of the most urgent issues facing believers today — the infiltration of cancel culture and the destructive “spirit of accusation” spreading through modern Christianity. Their recent interview takes a hard look at how outrage-driven media, social pressure and spiritual compromise are silencing truth and dividing the body of Christ.

Bishop Alan DiDio sits down with Dr. Malachi O’Brien to confront cancel culture’s reach into the church and what they call a rising “spirit of accusation.” Framed by riots outside a Turning Point USA event and a wider climate of online outrage, they argue that believers must reject public shaming and reclaim a biblical path of truth, grace and restoration.

O’Brien draws on his new book, Time to Rise: Quick Wins for Overcoming Accusation and Walking in Victory, and his Southern Baptist leadership experience to outline how accusation, emotion-driven headlines and “failure porn” silence prophetic voices and fracture Christian unity.
The interview promotes a practical, biblical response to real wrongdoing: report crimes to law enforcement, pursue due process and maintain transparent church accountability while refusing trial by social media. DiDio and O’Brien emphasize the difference between being victimized and living in victimhood, contend that forgiveness is never “toxic,” and urge Christians to answer hostility with radical love. They cite Rob Schneider’s “I love you” moment as a model, warn about anti-Semitic and extremist influencers appealing to young men, and connect the rise of accusations to Revelation 12 and escalating attacks on Israel.
