You’ve probably seen the clips. Maybe it was a fiery segment on Rumble or a snippet shared in a family group chat where someone is talking about "spiritual warfare" and the future of America. If you follow faith-based media at all, you’ve run into Victory Channel FlashPoint. It isn't your typical evening news broadcast. Far from it.
The show doesn’t just report the news; it interprets it through a lens of prophecy and biblical "spirit of faith." Since its debut in 2020, it has grown from a niche segment into a massive cultural phenomenon for a specific subset of Americans. We are talking about a community that feels the mainstream media has checked out on them completely.
Honestly, it’s kinda fascinating how quickly it scaled. What started as a response to the chaos of a pandemic and an election year has turned into a permanent fixture of the Christian right. Host Gene Bailey is the guy at the center of it all. He isn't just a talking head. He's an executive director at Kenneth Copeland Ministries and a pastor at Eagle Mountain International Church.
What exactly is the FlashPoint Army?
You’ll hear this term a lot: the "FlashPoint Army." It’s not a literal military, obviously. It’s the name for the dedicated fanbase that tunes in every Tuesday and Thursday (and now Mondays and Fridays too). These viewers aren't just passive consumers. They see themselves as part of a movement.
The show operates on a few core pillars:

- Prophetic Perspective: The guests believe God reveals what’s coming next through modern-day prophets.
- Conservative Values: It’s unabashedly right-wing. No "both sides" fluff here.
- Actionable Faith: They want people to "occupy" and get involved in local government and school boards.
There is a raw energy to the live broadcasts. They’ve even taken the show on the road with "FlashPoint LIVE" events that feel part political rally and part revival tent meeting. Thousands of people show up in cities across the country to hear the same panel of experts they see on the screen.
The Faces of Victory Channel FlashPoint
If you’re new to the show, the rotating panel can feel a bit overwhelming. But there are some "regulars" who define the vibe of the program.
Gene Bailey is the anchor. He’s the one who keeps the conversation moving and usually steers things back to the spiritual significance of whatever political headline is breaking that day. Then you have Lance Wallnau. He’s arguably the most famous guest. Wallnau is the guy who popularized the "Seven Mountain Mandate," which is basically the idea that Christians should have influence in seven key areas of society: family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government.
Then there is Hank Kunneman, a pastor from Omaha who is known for his prophetic words, and Mario Murillo, who often brings a very direct, sometimes confrontational "boots on the ground" evangelistic perspective. You’ll also see Dutch Sheets, who focuses heavily on prayer and the historical-spiritual roots of the United States.

Recently, the show has even pulled in big-name political figures. We’re talking about people like Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and Michael Flynn. For these politicians, Victory Channel FlashPoint is a direct line to a high-turnout, highly motivated voting bloc.
Why the mainstream is so confused by it
If you look up the show on secular news sites, you’ll see words like "Christian Nationalism" or "conspiracy theories" thrown around a lot. To the critics, the show is a dangerous mix of religion and politics. They worry about the "spiritual war" rhetoric and how it might radicalize people.
But if you talk to a regular viewer, they see it totally differently. To them, the mainstream media is the one spreading "disinformation." They feel like the world is going crazy and Victory Channel FlashPoint is the only place giving them hope. It’s a classic case of two different Americas looking at the same screen and seeing two completely different things.
How to watch and get involved
One of the reasons the show is so hard to "cancel" or ignore is that they’ve built their own infrastructure. They aren't just relying on YouTube. They have their own dedicated apps and are a cornerstone of the VICTORY Channel, which is available on Dish (Channel 265), Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV.

The schedule has actually expanded recently.
- Monday nights: A newer addition to the lineup.
- Tuesday and Thursday: The "classic" live nights at 8 p.m. ET.
- Friday: Often a wrap-up or special focus episode.
They also have a massive presence on Rumble. Because Rumble has fewer restrictions on "medical misinformation" or "election integrity" talk compared to YouTube, the FlashPoint crew can speak more freely there. That’s where a lot of the more controversial segments live.
The 2026 Shift: Going Independent
As of 2025, FlashPoint actually filed for its own 501(c)(3) status. This was a huge move. It means they are technically independent now, though still closely tied to the Kenneth Copeland ecosystem. This gives them more flexibility with their branding and how they handle their "FlashPoint Army" outreach.
They’ve also launched a new online store. You can buy "FlashPoint Army" shirts, hats, and even Gene Bailey’s book, Killing America. It’s a full-on brand now, not just a show.
Actionable Steps for the Curious
If you want to understand this movement or just see what the buzz is about, here is how you can actually engage with it without getting lost in the weeds.
- Watch a Full Replay: Don't just watch the 30-second clips on X (formerly Twitter). Go to the VICTORY Channel website or Rumble and watch a full two-hour broadcast. You’ll get a much better sense of the flow—it’s not all fire and brimstone; there’s a lot of teaching and prayer mixed in.
- Check the Guest List: If you’re interested in the political side, look for episodes featuring Rick Green (the "Constitution Coach") or David Barton. They focus more on the historical and legal aspects of the "Christian nation" argument.
- Understand the "Prophetic" Language: When they say someone has a "word," they mean they believe God gave them a specific insight. You don't have to believe it to understand that they believe it, which helps explain why the audience reacts the way they do.
- Look for Local Events: If you really want to see the "Army" in action, look up their "FlashPoint LIVE" tour dates. These events are where the online community becomes a physical community.
The reality is that Victory Channel FlashPoint isn't going anywhere. Whether you see it as a prophetic lighthouse or a political powerhouse, its influence on the 2024 and 2026 election cycles is undeniable. It has fundamentally changed how a large portion of the American church interacts with the evening news.
