How would you feel to find out that Talmudic Jews were spending millions influencing your church, having oversight over your Bible curriculum, and paying to have editorial oversight over your Sunday School literature?
Dear Insight for Incite readers, tonight’s column is not what you might have expected. Instead, I’m pulling back the curtain to share why I’m holding off on publication—and to whet your appetite for what’s coming. For months, I’ve been deep in the weeds, chasing a story that’s bigger, murkier, and more explosive than I anticipated: the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its extensive, yet largely unreported, influence in American evangelicalism.
This isn’t just about political lobbying—AIPAC’s bread and butter—but a covert campaign to shape the theology, curricula, and Sunday sermons of churches, seminaries, and even Reformed institutions across the U.S. Yes, Reformed—those stalwarts of Covenant Theology who, by all accounts, shouldn’t touch Zionism with a ten-foot pole. The evidence I’m uncovering is staggering, and it’s not ready for primetime just yet. But when it drops, it’ll shake the foundations of how we view the intersection of faith, politics, and foreign influence in America’s churches.
Hang tight, paid subscribers, and free readers—consider this your invitation to join the inner circle, because you won’t want to miss what’s coming.
AIPAC’S POLITICAL JUGGERNAUT: THE KNOWN STORY
AIPAC’s influence in American politics is no secret. It’s the largest political action committee in U.S. history, with a war chest that dwarfs most competitors. In 2024, AIPAC’s PAC and affiliated groups funneled over $53 million to 361 congressional candidates, ensuring pro-Israel voices dominate Capitol Hill. Representatives like Thomas Massie have called it out, with Massie recently noting on X that AIPAC’s pressure tactics—offering campaign funds or threatening to back opponents—create a “uniparty” dynamic where dissenters are silenced.
Tucker Carlson echoed this on his show, accusing AIPAC of wielding “outsized influence” over U.S. foreign policy, particularly on Israel-Palestine issues. Their criticisms, amplified by posts on X, point to a machine that doesn’t just lobby—it strong-arms. This political clout is well-documented. AIPAC’s annual policy conferences draw thousands, including senators, governors, and White House officials, all schmoozed with high-gloss presentations and trips to Israel funded by AIPAC’s charitable arm, the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF).
AIEF’s 2020 financials reported $60.7 million in revenue, much of it bankrolling congressional junkets and “educational programs” that shape policy narratives. The result? Unwavering U.S. support for Israel, from $3.8 billion in annual military aid to vetoes at the UN. But while everyone’s talking about AIPAC’s grip on politicians, a far less visible—and far more scandalous—story is unfolding in America’s pews.
THE UNREPORTED SCANDAL: AIPAC’S EVANGELICAL PLAYBOOK
Here’s where the plot thickens. AIPAC, through AIEF, isn’t just buying influence in Washington; it’s infiltrating the heart of American evangelicalism—churches, seminaries, and even small group Bible studies. The Israeli lobby, backed by billions in funding, is pouring money into evangelical institutions to promote Christian Zionism, the belief that Israel’s modern state fulfills biblical prophecy and demands unwavering Christian support.
This isn’t just about moral alignment—it’s about foreign money shaping what’s taught in Sunday school, preached from pulpits, and studied in seminaries. And it’s happening across denominations, from the 14-million-strong Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) to, shockingly, Reformed institutions that traditionally reject Zionism’s dispensationalist roots in favor of Covenant Theology.
The SBC, with its 2018 resolution affirming Israel’s right to exist, is an obvious target. Megachurch pastors—think Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist (45,000 members) or Ed Young of Second Baptist Houston (70,000 members)—attend AIPAC’s “Friends in Faith” sessions at its annual conferences, where they’re armed with pro-Israel talking points and materials. These pastors, with their massive platforms, return to their congregations and weave Zionist narratives into sermons and curricula, framing Israel as God’s chosen nation. AIEF funds “educational materials”—booklets, videos, Bible study guides—that land in church libraries and small group discussions, subtly (or not so subtly) pushing congregants to see Israel’s geopolitical battles as spiritual imperatives.
But the real jaw-dropper is the Reformed world. Covenant Theology, which dominates Reformed churches and seminaries like Westminster Theological Seminary or Reformed Theological Seminary, teaches that the church, not modern Israel, inherits God’s promises to Abraham. Zionism, with its focus on a literal Jewish return to the land, is anathema to this view. Yet, I’m uncovering evidence that AIPAC’s money is reaching Reformed influencers—pastors, theologians, even podcasters—who are quietly incorporating pro-Israel messaging into their teaching. This is a scandal of seismic proportions: a foreign lobby influencing the theology of churches that should, by their own doctrine, reject it.
Israel is funding the Sunday school lessons your kids are learning, the small group studies your neighbor attends, and the sermons shaping evangelical politics. And no one’s talking about it.
WHY THIS MATTERS, AND I NEED MORE TIME
This story is bigger than a single column can contain. I’m digging through financial trails, conference agendas, and insider accounts to name names—prominent evangelical influencers, SBC megachurch pastors, and yes, even Reformed figures—who are taking AIPAC’s money to push pro-Zionist beliefs.
These aren’t just obscure preachers; they’re household names in evangelical circles, with platforms reaching millions. The evidence points to AIEF grants funding “educational programs” that include Bible study guides, seminary lectures, and advocacy training, all designed to align evangelical theology with Israel’s geopolitical agenda. Posts on X hint at this, with users alleging Zionist funding of evangelical curricula, but I’m going beyond whispers to hard facts.
This is dangerous work. Uncovering foreign influence in America’s churches isn’t just controversial—it’s a lightning rod. The Israeli lobby doesn’t take kindly to scrutiny, and the evangelical machine has its own sacred cows. I’m navigating a minefield of legal, cultural, and spiritual sensitivities, which is why I’m not publishing tonight. I need time to ensure this exposé is airtight, naming specific pastors, theologians, and institutions—SBC, Reformed, and beyond—while protecting my sources and myself.
