Rebuilding Family Altars

Pastor Rich Butler of Hope Church in Spartanburg, South Carolina, joins Philip Cameron to deliver a timely and urgent message on rebuilding family altars in an age of cultural collapse. Rich shares how a Holy Spirit whisper during a pastoral Zoom call launched his church into a year-long pursuit of what he calls "the ancient paths" — drawn directly from Jeremiah 6, where the prophet urges God's people to "ask for the ancient paths, and where the good way is, and walk in it." Rich unpacks how Hope Church is not only teaching families to build altars at home but is literally tearing down pagan altars in Greenville, South Carolina — converting a notorious strip club into a new campus for worship. He draws on Deuteronomy 6 to show how Moses commanded Israel to apply God's culture to their hands, foreheads, doorposts, and gates — four practical areas every family can reclaim today. "If you are not bowing down at the altar of the most high God," Rich warns, "you inevitably are bowing down to an altar in your culture." This episode is essential viewing for parents, pastors, and anyone fighting for their family in a dark season. Learn more about Hope Church at hopesc.org.
