It Was THIS Year When It All Started Falling Apart - The Mike Church Show
What happened in 1917… and why does it still matter today?

In this 6-minute clip from The Mike Church Show, Mike breaks down a shocking historical reality:
From 1789 to 1917, federal government spending hovered around 3% of GDP—steady, limited, restrained.

Then everything changed.

With the rise of the Federal Reserve, the passage of the 16th Amendment, 17th Amendment, and 19th Amendment, America entered a new era of government expansion—and the results speak for themselves.

📈 Massive spending
📉 Weakening federalism
❓ A deeper question: What do we measure as “success”?

Is truth determined by popularity?
Does something become more “true” because more people click on it?
Or does truth stand on its own—even if only 100 people hear it?

This clip challenges modern thinking about democracy, metrics, and meaning—and asks a question most won’t dare to:

👉 Can holiness—or truth—ever be measured by numbers?
