I watched the Advent Media Connect podcast entitled Responding to Tucker Carlson on American Apostate Protestantism.
It was a pretty bad show based more upon the preconceived Adventist view that all Protestants are Apostate except Adventists. So when Tucker Carlson says that Protestantism is apostate they become very excited. So excited they don't even hear the lies that Tucker Carlson makes. As I commented on the Advent Media Connect comment section:
"This is very sad. Do you not see how you are being manipulated? Tucker lied to you and you accept it, even when you played the Franklin Graham Prayer you could have seen Tucker's lie. Tucker said: "4:57 But if you're a Christian clergyman or call yourself one, and you're giving spiritual counsel to a head of state, it really matters. And there's no reference whatsoever to Jesus. You're not preaching the gospel. You're not speaking actual truth to actual power. You're doing something else. Now, why is there no mention of Jesus?" You mean that Jesus that Graham used in his Prayer "22:13 Father, we thank you for your son Jesus Christ who came to this earth to take our sins. That he died and shed his blood on a cross for our sins. That he was buried. He took our sins to the grave, but you raised him to life."
Tucker Carlson has lost the plot and much of his speech is not very accurate anymore. But since Advent Media Connect actually used the Franklin Graham video in his show it is remarkable that he did not even see that Tucker Carlson was lying.
But this photo was used and it really bothered me, Because as you can see from the picture the person on the far right (the picture the podcast used was cropped the two outside people are seen in the picture below but not in the picture that Advent Media Connect used) is Michael Tait, the former singer for the Newsboys after Peter Furler left, leaving the Newsboys a poor imitation of the original Newsboys. Michael Tait left the Newsboys after his admission to several forms of sexual abuse. So it was peculiar that he would be at the 2026 National Prayer Breakfast with President Trump.
This is What he says during the above picture:
"Now let's talk about these claims. These are some very serious and solid claim.11:48 American Protestants Christianity has become spiritually corrupt. I will have to agree this is corruption. Now there's nothing wrong with praying for the president. No. As a matter of fact, we should do that. The Bible says we are to do that. But there's something wrong with uniting with the president for the purpose of using political expediency to enforce religious dogmas. That's not Bible. There's also something wrong with this. comparing President Trump to Jesus Christ and his assassination attempt to the very resurrection of Jesus Christ during Easter's week. There's something wrong with that."
Then he plays the Paula White prayer video clip at the recent National Prayer Breakfast. He is trying to make us think that the picture from the King Jesus International Ministry on January 03, 2020 in Miami, Florida. happened at the National Prayer Breakfast. I don't find too much fault with her prayer except to say comparing anyone to Jesus Christ will usually get somebody upset. But remember he is trying to show us how corrupt Evangelicals are, Apostate Protestantism, Tucker Carlson said so and after all who cannot believe what a tepid lapsed Episcopalian says.
But the picture manipulation did not end there. I first thought the above picture was AI created because there is no way that Michael Tait would have been at the 2026 National Prayer Breakfast, of course the press would have had a field day if a sexual abuser was praying over Donald Trump. So I had to find the picture that Advent Media Connect was using. And then I noticed the rather incredible AI image he used
This is pretty funny. Notice there is a fire already burning on the altar, One guy is holding a bowl of what appears to be blood and apparently the priest in the center is holding Harry Potters magic wand. It is like Advent Media Connect has not the vaguest idea of what an Ancient Israel sacrifice was like.
If you want to see the original image click here. This is what that image says: "Photorealistic scene of ancient Israelites gathered at the Tabernacle entrance in Sinai wilderness, priests offering a spotless lamb, its blood poured onto the altar, people of various backgrounds (including sojourners) waiting reverently, with dust-covered earth, strong sunlight, and mountains in the distance. No anachronisms; focus on ritual purity, communal unity, and awe before God.
- The person offering the animal (or a small family/group) would bring it to the Tabernacle.
- Priests (kohanim) handled the actual ritual actions at the altar.
- Most Israelites were not gathered as spectators around the entrance during routine offerings.
- The Tabernacle courtyard had controlled access, and ritual activity was orderly and structured, not a large public spectacle.
- Larger gatherings did happen during major events or festivals (like Passover later at the Temple), but even then, participation was more organized than “everyone watching one sacrifice.”
So for accuracy, your scene should feel:
- Focused and intentional, not crowded
- Quiet, reverent, and structured
- Centered on priests and the individual offerer, with others at a respectful distance
