In a recent appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room, Lance Wallnau made a bold declaration: “America is the land of revivals,” he said, referencing the First and Second Great Awakenings. But this time, Wallnau claims, “We are now having a Reformation.”
Wallnau’s distinction between a revival and a reformation is crucial to his message. “Reformation is different than simply a religious Renaissance,” he explained. “It’s the recapturing of Institutions.” For Wallnau, this isn’t just about a spiritual revival—it’s about reclaiming the very fabric of American society. “It’s the recapturing of Education, of media, of business, of government,” he emphasized, noting that these institutions need to be infused with “the ideas of Western Civilization, which is the ideas of Christian civilization.”

According to Wallnau, this movement is already visible in public life. “You look at the press conference that she’s [Karoline Leavitt] wearing a cross like Mike Lindell now, and I’m looking up at her, I’m saying, ‘My God, it’s cool, it’s okay to be a Christian again.’” This resurgence, he suggests, is a direct pushback against years of discrimination and media attacks. “The moment you’re outed at the Christmas party because you’re a ‘holy roller,’ you kind of get pushed to the side,” he said, describing the challenges Christians face in corporate environments.
Wallnau also pointed to the absence of Christian voices in academia. “There’s no Christian presence in academia,” he asserted. He criticized the lack of opportunities for professors with evangelical backgrounds or strong pro-life views, arguing that they are “deprived opportunities to get on campuses to talk to students.”
But Wallnau is optimistic. He cited Paula White’s role as a foothold in expanding Christian influence, though he stressed that the movement must go further. “The expansion of that has got to be the underrepresented Christian population, which is over half the United States, in all sectors of what we call the high places of culture or the mountain tops of culture.”
