Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean
Sons of Liberty Radio, September 13, 2026
Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean Believe the Prophets and You Will Be Established Bradlee Dean opens Sons of Liberty with an extended Sunday teaching on believing the biblical prophets, moving from his own testimony as a former rock drummer to warnings about crime, September 11, Elon Musk, and America's mosque count, before taking calls from Frederick in Massachusetts and Bob in Texas. Praise, Worship, and the Prophet's Promise Bradlee Dean opens the Sunday service a little early, noting technical delays getting the stream onto Rumble, and settles into a long stretch of praise and worship while he waits for what he calls his 'church family' to arrive online. Between songs including a heavy metal arrangement of 'Holy, Holy, Holy' and a ballad called 'By and By,' he introduces the day's theme: the necessity of believing the prophets. He cites 2 Chronicles 20:20's promise that believing the prophets brings establishment, stressing that belief is an action, not mere profession. Quoting reformer Martin Luther's description of himself as 'rough, boisterous, stormy, and altogether warlike,' Dean argues the church needs bold, prophetic voices rather than the 'cessationists' who claim the gifts of prophecy ended with the apostles. He contrasts real prophets, who confront sin, with false prophets who tell people what they want to hear, citing Micah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel on preachers who cry 'peace, peace' while war is coming. Matthew 7 and the Marks of a Prophet Working verse by verse through Matthew 7, Dean lingers on Jesus's warning that the gate to life is 'strait' and the way 'narrow,' and that immediately afterward comes the command to 'beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.' He argues most American churches have removed the apostle and the prophet from their structure because congregations dislike being told to reform, and imagines John the Baptist, camel-hair girdle and all, being ostracized by modern pulpits rather than heeded. He revisits Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal and stresses that believers are not saved by 'making a decision for Jesus' or an altar call, phrases he says cannot be found in scripture. Dean also insists that what people call a 'relationship' with the Lord is better described, biblically, as a union, citing what he calls John 17's language of abiding in the vine as proof the connection goes deeper than fellowship between two separate parties. From Rock and Roll to the Pulpit Dean turns personal, recalling his years as a drummer in a rock band on the verge of a record deal, working out of a venue he calls the Iron Horse and preparing to relocate from Minneapolis to Las Vegas, before he says the Lord pulled him out 'like a lasso.' Entering church life afterward, he expected transformed lives and instead found what he calls the leaven of the Pharisees: smiling pastors who deflected scriptural questions by saying 'we just don't do things like that anymore.' A stint broadcasting on Christian radio led a station manager to move him into conservative talk, where he says he found the same pattern, political listeners who could recite talking points but had never read the founding documents. He illustrates this with a story from a South Dakota event where a sitting state senator, seated in the front row, admitted to him on the spot that she had never read the Constitution despite six years in office. Crime, Judgment, and an Unrepentant Nation Turning to what he calls the fruit of a nation that no longer fears God, Dean cites the country's roughly sixty-four-billion-dollar prison system and its high incarceration rate as evidence the justice system tolerates rather than deters crime. He recounts, without naming her, a woman he says poisoned her father, stepmother, husband, and eventually a boyfriend and a pastor across the 1980s, evading suspicion each time until she was caught, and who he says remains on death row at ninety years old roughly forty years later. He pairs this with an account of two fourteen-year-old friends, one raped for hours and later stabbed and drowned, the other forced to watch before being killed, at the hands of a man he says had already been indicted more than 130 times. Dean argues such repeat offenses are only possible because the country stopped enforcing the statutes still on its books, and calls the leniency shown to career criminals a judgment the nation is bringing upon itself. September 11, Jeremiah, and Modern Villains Noting that the broadcast falls two days after the anniversary of September 11, Dean reads Jeremiah 6:29's image of a refiner's fire and bellows failing to separate lead from silver, applying it to a nation whose judgments have produced no repentance. He names Jake Lang and Nick Fuentes as what he calls paid provocateurs stirring conflict between Christians and Muslims in New York, and cites a claim that mosques in America grew from twenty in 1966 to more than three thousand today, arguing elected officials allowed the growth through what he calls treason. He turns to Elon Musk, alleging without offering documentation that Musk and his mother practice Satanism even as Musk is publicly cast as a defender of free speech for suing Minnesota over an AI child pornography law. Dean closes the segment questioning a proposed five-thousand-dollar payment to voters, calling it a bribe with the public's own money and citing a rise in the national debt he attributes to broken promises from the current administration. Callers Frederick and Bob Close the Hour With the phone lines open, a caller named Frederick, introduced as being from Massachusetts, connects Dean's account of Jerusalem's fall in AD 70 to the principle of reaping what is sown, and asks whether the story came from the historian Josephus; Dean says he drew it instead from Foxe's Book of Martyrs. A second caller, Bob, calling from Texas, asks Dean to unpack 2 Corinthians 3:6 on the letter and the spirit, then pushes his own argument that the Declaration of Independence's opening lines, not the Bill of Rights, represent America's true covenant with God. Dean answers that citizens never lost their constitutional rights and do not need to petition for what was never taken away, while agreeing that officials swear oaths on the Bible they routinely ignore. Closing the broadcast, Dean thanks both callers, reminds listeners the ministry runs without corporate sponsors, gives the mailing address for the Sons of Liberty in Annandale, Minnesota, and mentions an upcoming appearance at the Princeton Civic Center before signing off.
