WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.960 So the Southern Baptist Convention is back at it. They're debating the Nicene Creed. 2 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:11.720 We'll talk about what's in the creed and why this would be controversial. 3 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.600 I don't know, other than the Southern Baptist Convention has effectively become Satan's basic 4 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:23.079 church. Before we get to that, I'm excited to share with you an 5 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.879 experience I had at the family union. I want to be careful because I 6 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.160 don't know there's a great idea for you know, podcasters talk to your hosts 7 00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.840 to go around and saying people's names and family events. I've talked enough about 8 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.079 this. This person is very comfortable with the decision they've made and not hiding 9 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.359 anything, so I feel comfortable talking about it from that regard. But I've 10 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:48.560 been sharing with you my concern about hurting feelings at a family union because one 11 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.560 of our family members made the decision to live life as a man though she's 12 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.240 a woman, and she did this just before the age majority. Gosh. 13 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.000 I love her, and I was just I was worried, maybe even for 14 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.239 no reason. I was worried, But I can't imagine I was the only 15 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.959 one who's worried. So we'll talk about that with the help of YouTube dot 16 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.959 com slash at the Todd Herman Show, and it puts a ton of efforts 17 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.400 into taking highlights of the show and putting me in an easily consumable form. 18 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.439 We're very, very close to a magic number at YouTube. I don't want 19 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.200 to be doing business with YouTube. We have to because this is the number 20 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.480 one podcasting platform in the world. And I do have a heart to reach 21 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.040 young people with God's word, particularly on topics like this. So you can 22 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:41.719 get great free video content at YouTube dot com slash at the Todd Herman Show, 23 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.719 and you can also help us reach young people. And God, would 24 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.760 you also help make sure that we are wise as serpents and gentle as doves 25 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.680 as dealing and dealing with this monstrosity that is this Google owned company. The 26 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.560 Todd Herman's Show is one hundred percent disapproved by big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. 27 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:10.000 No from the high mountains of Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile 28 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:23.240 God her Man. Today is a day the Lord has made and vise at 29 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:30.680 the time so which God has decided we shall live. I've been not Someone 30 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.360 pointed out to me the day that I worry. And it didn't really occur 31 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.199 to me that I'm a worrier, but I guess in a way, I 32 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.400 am. And it really comes down to high stakes personal things. For me, 33 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.960 I don't worry about other world events. I'm not worried about the world. 34 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.800 I don't live in fear. God tells us to have a spirit not 35 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.719 of fear, but of love and certainty and Him and faith in Him. 36 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.680 But when it comes to high stakes personal affairs and interactions, I do worry. 37 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.159 Part of that is because this could sound very self serving, and forgive 38 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:09.639 me if it does. Because I'm a semi public person and probably in relation 39 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:15.560 to my family, a very public person. My views about all things are 40 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.039 one hundred percent known to everybody. Anybody who wants to look knows my views 41 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:24.199 on things. It's not hard to ascertain. And on the topic of gender, 42 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.280 my views on this have been known throughout the family for seven or eight 43 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:36.639 years, very very clearly. No. And so it was a lot of 44 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:42.159 trepidation and worry I had going into this family reunion because there's a young woman 45 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.840 there who she would introduce herself as a man. I'll use her first initial 46 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:54.039 P. And this is a decision she made pretty long ago to go live 47 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.560 this way. And I remember when she'd made that decision and announced it to 48 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.960 her parents. She was just before eighteen, and at a discussion with a 49 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.439 dear family member who has been gosh, he's been a blessing to me, 50 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:11.159 great older male figure, such a good man. And I've been in their 51 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:17.000 home multiple times. And so when p made this decision, I have my 52 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.240 views, you know what they are. I don't believe that men can become 53 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.399 women. I don't think women can become men. No surgery, no wrong 54 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:33.000 sex hormones, nothing can accomplish that. And I've always recognized the true painful 55 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.120 condition of actual gender dys for it, which is a real thing, and 56 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.160 it's existed for a very long time. It's been a very small number of 57 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.399 people who've experienced it, and it used to be that there were a lot 58 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:51.000 of roadblocks and gatekeepers between a surgical hormonal outcome and therapy. It was a 59 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:57.160 talk therapy thing for well fifty sixty years, and it still should be in 60 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:02.480 my judgment. So that's all changed as pharma realized that this is one hundred 61 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:08.399 billion dollar category for them, as retailers recognize this is one hundred billion dollar 62 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.759 category for them, as the Democrat Party realized that this can be a permanent 63 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.000 voting block for them, and as people who are driving the cultural revolution through 64 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.480 America's heart to burn the nation down on Rulebard's ashes, as we talked about 65 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:27.560 on Monday, As they realized the potency of this to destroy the nuclear family, 66 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.959 they embraced it and pushed it. That's changed the dynamic that a lot 67 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:38.439 of people who are expressing gender dysphoria, it's not even dysphoria. It's rebellion, 68 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:45.240 its rejection. It's denial, and it's a far different animal than someone 69 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.600 who organically comes upon these feelings. Now I could look at this and say, 70 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:55.360 this is a spiritual thing. This is the enemy dissuading you, distracting 71 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:00.160 you, depressing you, distorting things. I haven't had the talk with this 72 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.120 family member yet to hear from her point of view about this, and it's 73 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:09.120 a talk now I genuinely want to have. I want to listen. I 74 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:14.959 always want to listen to people I love listen to understand why I shouldn't say 75 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.079 I always do, but I always want to be that way. So when 76 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:25.360 we arrived, my daughter and I drove to this together. When we arrived, 77 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:32.079 the first human being I saw was p my younger cousin, and she 78 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.800 looked at me and I wave, but she didn't wave back. Now I 79 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.319 don't know that she saw me wave because it could be the reflection through the 80 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.680 truckwun shit. I don't even know if she knew it was me. But 81 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.040 something really horrible happened. I forgot her new name, the name that she's 82 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.399 taken on, and it's been a number of years since she's been using this 83 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.920 name. And I'm an old man and I forgot. But I think I 84 00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.160 was also nervous again out of a concern to not hurt. So I'll tell 85 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.480 you how this manifests, because we started to get out of the truck, 86 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.839 and I'll explain this to you. I'll also tell you, though, that 87 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:11.360 I had a great Father's Day weekend. My wife and daughter did something very 88 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:16.480 very cool for me. We reset My daughter and I performed again a song 89 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.439 we did together with no rehearsal. Way back in the day. She learned 90 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.439 a song at church or a school, I don't remember which. It was 91 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.480 a private school. Love goes round in a circle, comes around, knocking 92 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.240 on your front door and she was singing it at home and my wife had 93 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.199 said, Hey, maybe you could do a little duet, and I thought, 94 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.920 oh, yeah, I can figure out the chords. So that's sing 95 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.480 that for me, honey, and I'll put some chords to it. So 96 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.439 we did, and that's been a cherished video for many, many years. 97 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.759 And my daughter and I redid that this weekend was I think my wife's idea. 98 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.160 My daughter gladly participated, she seemed glad to participate. Her boyfriend was 99 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.759 there, my mom was there. It was a really cool scene and I'll 100 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.399 cherish that for the rest of my life. I also cherished the fact that 101 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.360 my wife and daughter decided to hide the ft that her boyfriend was coming over, 102 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.160 my mom was coming over. I kind of guessed that. But for 103 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.439 Father's Day, but a great time, made better by the fact that we 104 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.360 took the Edenpure thunderstorm to devices and we brought those into the front room, 105 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.399 into the kitchen. These are the devices that destroy negative smells, and we 106 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.160 have negative smells. We have cats and litter boxes. We have a dog 107 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.480 that has the just disgusting habit. I love my white dog, but she 108 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.800 has a disgusting habit. She finds things that stink and she rolls at them 109 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.919 and she seeks them out. I see her in the backyard like, hey, 110 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.919 Luna, don't think I don't know you're looking for a stink. And 111 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.440 I'll go catch her Luna, and she'll look up. She's not in a 112 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.759 shame. She had no this is some really good stink. This is a 113 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.480 dead bird. I'm rolling in. Like, if you have pats, you 114 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.759 know how this works. They just can destroy the smell of your house, 115 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:56.200 the thunderleaf or the thunderstorm from edenperedeals dot com. It just destroys these smells 116 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.320 with ozone. It's not an air filter. Those things are expensive. I've 117 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.360 replaced the filters all the time. This is an air cleanser. You can 118 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:09.960 get this with a pet Stink guarantee. It'll wipe out the pet orders or 119 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.559 get your money back.

I think they're saying pet order guarantee. I like pet 124 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.840 stink guarantee, eatingpreod deals dot com code todd three. So when we got 125 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.279 out of the truck, my daughter and I we went up to Pee, 126 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:50.440 and I awkwardly used that wrong name, and she corrected me, and I 127 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.320 said, oh gosh, I'm so sorry, I'm so old, I'm so 128 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:58.320 decrepit. And I took her hand in both of mine, and I was 129 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:05.600 so overjoyed to see her well and to see her beautiful eyes, beautiful beautiful 130 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.279 eyes. And look, she is living as a man, short hair and 131 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.960 you know, hair, and her legs and such, and she's just Pee. 132 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:22.600 She's not a different person. She's just Pe, just who she's always 133 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:31.320 been. So my daughter and her absolutely hit it off and instantly, And 134 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.440 they did not grow up together. I mean they saw each other on a 135 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:39.799 few occasions, but instantly they're grooving together on one another's phones and talking about 136 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:45.600 life and love and what it's been like in the past four years and what 137 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.679 the journey of life's been through like. And my daughter now has tattoos, 138 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.000 and she certainly didn't have tattoos back then. And I'm not wild about that 139 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.960 tattoos, and my daughter knows that I love her. I don't love the 140 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.840 tattoos. See, I don't love that decision she made to get tattooed. 141 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:09.840 Now, that doesn't have the same implications as being chemically and surgically altered or 142 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.960 wrong sex hormones. It doesn't have the same implications. Tattoos are reversible, 143 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.559 and I'm aware. I know about the Bible's warnings against being tattooed. I 144 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.799 know about that. I don't think it's a salvation issue, and if it 145 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.080 was a salvation issue, I'd be freaked. I don't think it's a salvation 146 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.320 issue now. I do worry that denying the sex God made you is a 147 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:39.240 salvation issue. I worry about that because it's to me a lie. As 148 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.240 we went through the family reunion and he and I visited, I asked about 149 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:52.559 school and life, and I listened, and she's great with eye contact, 150 00:11:52.320 --> 00:12:01.399 very absolutely secure in who she is and herself. And I know that she 151 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.000 would have me say himself. I know that I can't. I can't do 152 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:13.200 that, and I'm sure p knows that my views are well known during this 153 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.879 time together, and I mentioned this part of the on the show the other 154 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:22.360 day, about halfway through the family reunion, we'd played a game of corn 155 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.200 hole together. By the way, P came to me and said, I 156 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.519 got an idea, you and me and your daughter my dad in a game 157 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.720 of cornhall on on. So we set up cornhole and we played P and 158 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.639 I against each other. And it doesn't matter who won. It doesn't I 159 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:41.120 mean I won well, but yeah, obviously I won, but it doesn't 160 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.360 matter who won. And I won by one shot, but I want you 161 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.039 to know I hit some of those shots straight into the hole. Oh wait, 162 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.120 maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe it does matter who won a little bit. 163 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.080 Maybe look got a bit more practice than P at the cornhole. So 164 00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.360 after that we played together, we talked together some more. I mentioned my 165 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.159 daughter's an artist and Pa is going to be an architect. I was saying, 166 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.279 wow, those things are very complimentary, but there's much more math, 167 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.039 and she shared with me some of the problems shared with calculus. It was 168 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:18.559 just this beautiful time. So food is finally served. My vegan daughter made 169 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.559 an incredible vegan potato salad and it was awesome. And there's a bunch of 170 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.279 you know, turkey and pork and stuff there and obviously I ate meat. 171 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.120 So as the food is being laid out and I had my first helping of 172 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.639 turkey, I heard the craziest sound and I thought it was a murder of 173 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:48.519 crows. And then I thought, wait, that sounds like screaming. And 174 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.759 it wasn't screaming. It was screaming. It was a young woman screaming. 175 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.639 It wasn't crows. Pe walked up the hill and then ran up the hill, 176 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.639 and I realized something's going on, so I ran up the hill after 177 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.159 Pete. Now I firmly believe this was God's design. I really believe it 178 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.679 was God's design. This young woman had been up in the mountains and she 179 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.440 said she was seeking a place to sleep. I think she was seeking a 180 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.960 place to die, because as we got there, she told me, I 181 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:24.840 can't do it anymore. I can't live, I can't live. When I 182 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.960 arrived, pet was on the ground with this girl who was in a bathrobe, 183 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.279 laying in the wet street that is a dirt road by the way, 184 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:37.320 her truck running in the background, this girl's truck. And Pete looked at 185 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.039 me now and she said, I need help. I said, yeah, 186 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.799 I know, and thank you, thank you for doing this, and I 187 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.080 sent her in a mission to go get my bug out bag, and I 188 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:52.360 mentioned this Monday. It has my med kit and survival kit and has a 189 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.799 reflective blanket that we used to try to warm her up. I think God 190 00:14:54.879 --> 00:15:01.240 selected this time for pe and I to work together to try to save a 191 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:13.519 girl. You really bond in times like this. And p went to my 192 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.799 truck and got the wrong bag, and she came and she said, oh 193 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.480 wait, I found this black bag and I think it's the wrong one. 194 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.679 And I rummaged through your truck and I said, hey, but it's okay. 195 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.639 Family rummages, it's okay. It's in the back of my truck the 196 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.440 tailgate. Take the tailgate down and bring this bage bag and she did. 197 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.279 So we ended up caring for this girl together. And then my sister came. 198 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.519 And my sister's a nurse practitioner and a rape crisis counselor. And I 199 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.080 told you this on Monday, so I won't belabor this too much. We 200 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.960 did end up getting the girl some help, albeit with the police and the 201 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.840 mental health people coming. But it took two hours, but we got her 202 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:54.879 some help. It was during this time that it became clear that the family 203 00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:00.519 reunion was breaking up because the weather become untenable. Most people didn't come with 204 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.639 coats or or rain gear, and it was being really uncomfortable and people were 205 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.919 starting to leave. There were a lot of elderly people there, not good 206 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:12.399 for them to be out in weather like that. So I went down knowing 207 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.960 that it was breaking up, and I was getting some cookies and some simple 208 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.799 sugars, sodas and stuff for this girl because her blood sugar was super low 209 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.440 and she was hyperglycemic. And so you know, my sister was helping me 210 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.000 with that. Obviously I was taking orders from her, and so went down 211 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:32.559 to get her some of these simple sugars, and there was Pee standing there 212 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.080 with my daughter and my daughter's boyfriend, and a reason that, hey, 213 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:37.200 you know what, I may not see Pea again for a little while. 214 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:45.559 And God put in my heart. I'm he put in my heart to hug 215 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.679 Pee. And I don't know that she and I have ever embraced like that. 216 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.039 I don't know that we've ever had a hug like that. And I'll 217 00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.200 tell you about it. It was maybe I got more out of it than 218 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:07.519 she did, because I'm thinking of this through her point of view, and 219 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.799 I don't know this to be the case, but I know a lot of 220 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.680 people would have told her, well, your uncle's very hatefulled towards what they 221 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.240 would say are transgender people. And of course I don't believe anyone is transgender. 222 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:26.519 And then there's the challenge, right, I fully believe, fully believe 223 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:33.240 that piece discomfort with her biological sex is real. I fully believe that. 224 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.799 I don't This isn't pretense, it's not rebellion. She's not glorifying anything. 225 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:45.599 She's not. I truly believe it's real and painful. And she's an adult 226 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.400 and she can go do adult things. So maybe I got more out of 227 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:55.359 this than she did. I'll tell you this. We gather myself because it's 228 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.880 un necessarily I want to break down on camera or in audio. I'm kind 229 00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:04.799 of bothers me on this topic. I just want to be careful as I'm 230 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:10.720 thinking through this. I will tell you that this weekend, I'm pretty much 231 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:17.319 committed to doing my now sixteen hours of straight workout. This is in preparation 232 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:21.079 for a seal fit coming up in the end of September, and this is 233 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:26.279 the one where I'm going to ask my friends to design the workouts, so 234 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.079 that I mean, I'm gonna have to design some people are going to design 235 00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:30.960 sixteen hours of workouts for me, but I want to be doing things that 236 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.880 other people want me to do. Secondly, I'm going to do as much 237 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:40.799 of this during the sun light as I can because I learned in Mexico that 238 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:45.240 the heat is a huge, huge, huge energy suck. So I'm going 239 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.519 to try to start this at six o'clock in the morning and then I would 240 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.200 be finishing at four am. Is that right? Yeah? Is that right? 241 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.680 No, I'd be finishing at midnight. Right, Never do math live 242 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.880 on the show. Six and six is twelve, Yeah, midnight. So 243 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:04.640 when I do that and being the sun as much as possible, which is 244 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:10.759 good for me because I'm going to use Native Path hydrate. I experiment with 245 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:15.559 this gen from sales send it to me. They make Native Path They make 246 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.680 the curl Native Path krill, which is incredible. Gosh, I love that 247 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.640 stuff. It's just absolutely stopped me from having to take any iboprofen. Native 248 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.480 Path hydrate I said, yeah, I'll try it. There's a whole bunch 249 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.880 of hydration drinks. Is this one different? It is? First of all, 250 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:36.039 it has zero sugars none, It's electrolyte packed. It has fantastic amino 251 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:41.400 acid support. The amino acids they combined combine this supports energy and muscle health. 252 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:48.599 So fourteen vitamins and minerals nine all essential, nine amino acids, and 253 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.079 two thousand milligrams of branch chain amino acids. And this is all in one 254 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.440 scoop. Now, I would say this about the product. All of the 255 00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:02.319 flavors are fantastic that I've tried. I would also say this, they're very 256 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.039 dense. So make sure you give this a good shake. And this is 257 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.119 what I do is I actually add ice to this. It actually helps shake 258 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.960 it up the way to that. And when you drink this, you're getting 259 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:17.279 the blends that you need for heart health, digestive support, and for promoting 260 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:21.440 muscle recovery. Now, if you don't exercise, you might be saying, 261 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:22.440 well, why you're telling us about this, Like I don't go out and 262 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.279 sweat like you do. Did you know that about seventy five percent of Americans 263 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:33.720 are walking around right now chronically dehydrated. And the other end of the spectrum 264 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.759 is a lot of people drink a whole bunch of coffee during the day and 265 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.599 water, but no electrolyte replacement. Man, that can put you in trouble. 266 00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:45.039 Don't do that. So try Native Hydrate. Here's the reason to try 267 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.680 it now for a limited time, get Native Hydrate for up to forty four 268 00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:55.839 percent off by simply visiting native hydrate dot com slash todd.

So we're going to get into 272 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.559 the Southern Baptist Convention and that they've basically become Satan's basic church because they are 273 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:21.440 misleading people, they are false teachers. It's so so frustrating. But I'm 274 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.240 going to wrap up this story with Pete. So my sister and I are 275 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:30.039 heads down trying to get this girl's life saves and trying to keep them from 276 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.680 kicking her out of the park because she shouldn't be driving, and the park 277 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.440 steward wanted her drive out of the park, and we were saying, no, 278 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.240 gosh, no, she's gonna crash into somebody or kill herself. Please 279 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.599 don't make her do that. So we just said she's with us, and 280 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:47.319 he let us get away with that, very kind man. So I went 281 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:51.200 back into the shelter. I saw that people were leaving, and I walked 282 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:56.200 over and Pete was visiting with my daughter and her boyfriend. Great guy. 283 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.920 Really liked this guy, really like him a lot, and so I walked 284 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.240 up and say, hey, you got to meet each other, and my 285 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:04.680 daughter's boyfriend said, yeah, I've met the rest of the family. It's 286 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:10.240 so cool to see older male figures. And I loved hearing that, and 287 00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:11.240 then p came up to me. I said, I'm so sorry, I 288 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.839 have to go help this girl, and so she walked up to me, 289 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:22.880 and God just just led me just to reach out to hug her. I 290 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:29.200 really really wanted to embrace her, and so I gave her a hug and 291 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:36.400 I told her something I didn't even intend to say but was absolutely genuine as 292 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:41.319 I said, it is a blessing for me to see you happy and well 293 00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:47.200 and two years from being an architect. I am so incredibly proud of you. 294 00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.839 And at that point she really hugged me. It was a long hug, 295 00:22:55.440 --> 00:23:00.160 and I stepped back as I'm sorry I have to go, and she 296 00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:06.279 had tears in her eyes. I'm guessing because I haven't talked to her, 297 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:12.359 she knows unless she chooses to not know, which I think is an impossibility, 298 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.920 that she knows my view on the topic of gender. But she's just 299 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:30.839 Pee, She's just family. Here's the big poison of gender ideology is gender 300 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:37.960 ideologists will tell Pee that if your older cousin does not agree that you become 301 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:45.640 a man, he's disappearing you. I don't want pe to disappear. That 302 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:53.319 he hates you, No, that he denies people like you exist. No, 303 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.960 And if he doesn't agree, he's literally killing you. No. There 304 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:07.000 were a whole series of people at the family reunion doing things with which I 305 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.319 disagree, and I'm sure there's things they disagree I do. There were people 306 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.599 there who smoke, and the signs of a lifetime is smoking is all over 307 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:22.480 their bodies. They know that I'm not surprising them to say you're suffering. 308 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:27.759 You made the decision to use tobacco your whole life. There was my sister 309 00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:33.920 freezing in the rain because she and I are out caring for this young girl, 310 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:38.839 and my sister is shivering. My mom was scolded me, your sister's 311 00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.960 And I said, Mom, I've given her two coats, I'll give her 312 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.960 another, and I'm going to go warm her up in my truck. So 313 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.599 I said to my sister, Hey, you know what you may think, 314 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.119 my great big V eight engine is a global warming producer. But let me 315 00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:55.839 tell you it could warm you up. It really produces some heat your electric 316 00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:00.160 car can't. So let's go up the hill. And she sat in my 317 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.920 truck, and I know my sister would resh i'd had a different vehicle. 318 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.359 She sat in something with what she disagrees, and you can call her hypocrite 319 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.000 all you like. We produced the heat. We sat next to this young 320 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.480 girl to make sure that she didn't go out and try to harm herself. 321 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:22.880 My sister disagrees with that. So in the culture telling us and telling people 322 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.839 like p if your uncle or I seem like an uncle because I was so 323 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:33.720 much older, But if your cousin refuses to fly the so called translag or 324 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:38.599 refuses to use pronouns, it's only out of hatred. We disagree with people 325 00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:45.480 all the time. There are people who live have interesting marriage arrangements. Let's 326 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:52.279 say that in our family very interesting and they're dear people. And I guarantee 327 00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.039 there's people there who look at Oh, that's the radical, that's the herman 328 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:02.039 who is radical and embarrassment to the family. I know that that's the evangelical 329 00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:04.759 Christian, that's the Bible thump her. I know that, and it's okay 330 00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:12.920 because we gri in other things. That connection. That connection is something you 331 00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:18.680 either choose to kill or not, because I can tell you Jesus went around 332 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:26.319 embracing people, even people with whom we disagreed, unless unless they're abusing the 333 00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.640 temple, abusing the word of God, lying about the Word of God. 334 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:37.799 I'm so so thankful that a guy that had this experience. Now see the 335 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.759 other side of this spectrum is the false teaching. Now, I want to 336 00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:48.039 tell you I want to have this conversation with Pete. I really want to 337 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.920 talk with her about this, and I think I might reach out to say, 338 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.359 Hey, when I'm in Seattle, could I come and sit with you 339 00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:03.279 and hear from you and hear your journey and ask questions and maybe explain my 340 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.559 view. That would be the least important is explaining my view, because everyone 341 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.079 knows what well I should say this. Everyone thinks they know what it is, 342 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.480 so I may make that happen, because we've got to discuss these things. 343 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:19.440 There is a danger that the Fuller Theological Seminary, and I don't know 344 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:25.000 why people are surprised by this. I've met a lot of Fuller graduates who 345 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:30.039 are full on social justice warriors and full on false teachers. But the stream 346 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:34.599 reports the stream dot org that there is a change coming at the Fuller Theological 347 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:41.160 Institute or seminary, and I a California based locate or organization. I don't 348 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.400 know why this is surprising people. It doesn't take a lot of thought power 349 00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:45.240 to see where they head about it. I'll tell you about this in a 350 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.119 second, and then we'll get into the Southern Baptist Convention and the thing that 351 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.559 they're actually debating. It's amazing to me that this is a thing of debate. 352 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.119 I guess I need to get down to the nitty gritty of what's in 353 00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.200 the Nicene Creed that can be so very very offensive to the Southern bapt This 354 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.920 convention, where of course they had the audacious, horrible thing the other day. 355 00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:10.400 I'm forcing people to say pronouns and yes, I can say that, 356 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:17.559 and maintain my utter love for my younger cousin because we have to be able 357 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.319 to mix these things. You have to have truth wrap to grace, take 358 00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:23.640 some thinking power to do that. Sometimes it really really does. If you 359 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:27.440 are someone who is, say like me, a little bit obsessive about your 360 00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:33.200 body health, your brain is part of your body, right, what are 361 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.960 you doing to proactively care for your brain? And if you're a younger person 362 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:38.759 watching and or listening to the show, you know it's not too late to 363 00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:44.799 be proactive about protecting your brain. Right. My chosen tool for this along 364 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:49.119 with learning new things and new skills. And I'm going to start working on 365 00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.759 Spanish even when I'm not in Mexico, because I really enjoyed that feeling my 366 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.160 brain work that way. In fact, it was nice to use my brain 367 00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.839 playing guitar the other day. I hadn't played my guitar in probably six years. 368 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.759 I just played CDG but at least it was nice to play. So 369 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.119 I'm using mushroom breakthrough for brain health. And this is really well studied. 370 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:12.559 Mushrooms at high concentrations have had medicinal value. The Native people knew this for 371 00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:18.279 many many years. It's been used in the Icelandic people have used this et 372 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.519 cetera, so it's not new to use mushrooms, but in this formulation it 373 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.440 is my friend's. Matt Wade to run Bioptimizers studied mushrooms for brain health and 374 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:32.880 they selected four mushrooms at the highest possible concentration. Two scoops of Mushroom Breakthrough 375 00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:37.160 is the equivalent of one point two pounds of those mushrooms, and it revitalizes 376 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.519 your brain and protects it in areas of focus, memory recall, and processing 377 00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:47.359 speed. Matt and Wade scanned their brains before they took Mushroom Breakthrough. They're 378 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:52.480 scanned them after they took Mushroom Breakthrough, and the images don't lie. Those 379 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.839 portions of their brain have gotten more vital. You can revitalize your mind, 380 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.319 get your focus, your memory, recall back.

Fuller Theological Seminary one of the world's most popular theological colleges is poised 385 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:25.920 to become the first evangelical seminary in the US to permit same sex relationships on 386 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.559 campus. Fuller says the document was created by Human Sexuality Task Force consisting of 387 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:37.799 two deans and three faculty members solely quote for reflection and debate unquote in the 388 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.599 midst of ongoing discussions. While the board could vote on it, there's no 389 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.599 specific timeframe which it's expected to do. So the stream maintain to copy the 390 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.640 Rise community sexual standards for students and learners, which if passed, will allow 391 00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:55.880 students to marry their same sex partners. Quote. While the seminary embraces the 392 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:00.079 historical Christian understanding of sexual intimacy and marriage, we acknowledge there are faithful and 393 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:04.880 thoughtful Christians and churches that have different interpretations. The draft notes, Therefore, 394 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:10.240 we expect all members of this global evangelical and ecumenical seminary, student and learner 395 00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:15.480 community to live with integrity consistent to the Christian communities to which they belong. 396 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:27.359 Okay, so the four Theological Seminary has decided to divide the Body of Christ. 397 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:42.400 They've decided to recrucify Christ by dividing the fact that some Christian faiths have 398 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:48.039 departed from what the Lord Jesus taught about marriage. That is that a man 399 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:53.200 leaves his parents and clings to his wife. He didn't say partner, he 400 00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:59.160 didn't say significant other. He said man and wife. The Lord did not 401 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:01.440 come to a race the New Testament or the Old Testament. He came to 402 00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:08.160 fulfill the law in the Old Testament. These things are non controversial until now. 403 00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:14.240 The apostle Paul may have been the one who wrote most about marriage and 404 00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:19.200 sexuality, and it is because, of course, he had been dispatched from 405 00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.240 having been someone who wanted to preach and did preach in the Jewish temples. 406 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:30.200 He'd been sent instead to preach in Rome and among the non Jewish populations. 407 00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:37.680 And in those non Jewish populations, homosexual behavior was well, not rare. 408 00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:43.960 It was happening all over the place. So Paul, being that disciple, 409 00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:49.519 had to go deal with that reality, so he was more prone to need 410 00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.759 to teach this. The consequence of that is that Paul more about this than 411 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:59.599 the other apostles. The other apostles never departed from this. There is not 412 00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:04.240 an instance in which a disciple of the Lord Jesus said, yeah, actually, 413 00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.839 same sex marriage is okay. It never happened, or this form of 414 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:15.319 m okay or adulter is okay because it never became okay. Now again, 415 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:20.359 I can say this knowing that I have another family member who same sex attracted. 416 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:24.039 I have the same exact love for that family member that I do pee, 417 00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:29.440 and I know that family member better, and this is something that's deeply, 418 00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.720 deeply important to him, and it's deeply important to me to be the 419 00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:36.039 family member who stands by this. And if that young man were to say 420 00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.000 to me, do you think that I'm going to Hell because of this? 421 00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:44.480 I would have to say I don't know, but I would tell you this. 422 00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:47.440 I want you to get to know Jesus, and you'll know. You 423 00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:51.680 get to know Jesus. You allow the Holy Spirit to reign within you. 424 00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.240 You allow the Holy Spirit to endwell in you. The Spirit's going to convict 425 00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:59.759 you of sin. What does the Bible say it sin? Yes? It 426 00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.680 does. Am I the judge of who gets into Heaven and Hell? I'm 427 00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:07.559 not. My worry is that right now you are divorcing yourself from God. 428 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:13.840 That is my worry for you. Right and better to get more and more 429 00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:19.320 like God, then further and further from God. And this is why I'm 430 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:23.000 calling this episode Satan's Basic Church, because as the Southern Baptist Convention is going, 431 00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:29.280 they're following and nearing and nearing culture. This is an image of a 432 00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:35.119 Pride Day event. And please don't make any mistake. This stuff is on 433 00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:39.639 purpose. They're showing you exactly who they are. They could say they're mocking 434 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:45.039 evangelical Christians and they're just funny. Satan, don't fun. On top is 435 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:50.679 an image of the rainbow flag people marching, and it says Satan loves and 436 00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.400 then if you extend the flag it would say everyone or gay people. Down 437 00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:59.559 Below is a T shirt a guy's wearing. It's an image of the Satanic 438 00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:05.159 goat with this Satanic star on its forehead and it has rainbow horns. It 439 00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:13.039 says not today Jesus. When people show you who they are, believe them. 440 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:21.039 None of my same sex attracted friends or family members would ever sponsor this, 441 00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.559 or frankly that I don't know. I don't believe any of my family 442 00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:29.440 members would sponsor. I pray to God that they wouldn't sponsor the Satan thing. 443 00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:34.480 But the Southern Baptist Church is getting closer and closer and closer to that. 444 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:40.800 You can become so inclusive that you become exclusive only of God's word. 445 00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:45.639 When you're that inclusive of the world and you are changed by the world, 446 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:51.039 you're changed by the things of this world, you are guaranteed to move yourself 447 00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:53.800 further and further from God. For instance, this comes from Twitter. It's 448 00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:59.599 a picture of a Pride event in Boston. Took the family downtown to walk 449 00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:04.199 actually emerge into Boston Pride. Both the penis and the ice cream are overpriced, 450 00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.159 so his young son, it looks like his son, he's blanked his 451 00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:13.960 face out, is carrying a an erect penis that's about half the size of 452 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:20.480 his body. Kids are not sexual beings. How do we know this because 453 00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:24.280 the repulse that the idea of sexuality when you talk about it to them at 454 00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:29.480 that age. Because their bodies are not ready for this. Their minds are 455 00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:31.000 certainly not. If their bodies are not, and if their bodies are, 456 00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:39.119 their minds are not. The Southern Baptist Convention is getting closer and closer and 457 00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:45.159 closer to embracing this because they're becoming more and more and more clownishly, clownishly 458 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:49.760 inclusive of everything of the world. We're called to be in it, not 459 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:53.480 of it. If you're becoming of the world, you are doing everything you 460 00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:59.199 can to depart what Jesus said, do not be changed or altered by the 461 00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:07.280 things of this world. The nice see in Creed is being debated by the 462 00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.719 Southern Baptist Church. Here's for those who don't know what it says. It's 463 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:14.559 been a while since I have repeated this, because we used to do this 464 00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:17.679 in the Lutheran Church. We don't do this in the Evangelical Church. But 465 00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:22.360 I don't know that. I'm unfamiliar with any evangelicals denying the nice in Creed 466 00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.880 or the importance of it. I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, 467 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:30.039 Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I 468 00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:32.199 believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Gotten Son of God, 469 00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:37.639 born of the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, 470 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.239 true God, from true God, begotten, not made co substantial with 471 00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:45.199 the Father. Through him all things were made for us men, and for 472 00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.480 us men, and for our salvation. He came down from Heaven and by 473 00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:52.480 the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man for our sake. 474 00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.800 He was crucified under conscious pilot. He suffered death and was buried, 475 00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:00.360 rose again on the third day, in accordance with the scriptures, send it 476 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:02.159 into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will 477 00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:06.440 come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom 478 00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.400 will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, 479 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:13.079 the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who 480 00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.159 with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified, who has spoken 481 00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:20.719 through the prophets. I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I 482 00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:23.719 confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look forward to the resurrection 483 00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:28.239 of the dead and the life of the world to come. Incertainly, Catholic 484 00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:35.239 is lawer case. There is not necessarily meaning the Catholic Church one church for 485 00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:38.840 the forgiveness of sins. The fuller Theological Seminary wants to divide the body of 486 00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:45.480 Christ again by saying, wherever you come from, come and practice your quote 487 00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:50.960 Christian tradition. You're no longer a theological seminary. You're becoming of the world. 488 00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:54.440 You open the door to dividing the body of Christ, and you're next, 489 00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:59.960 you're going to have adultery. Why would you not? On the theological 490 00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:06.480 companies have thropples and people who engage adultery are open relationships. Why exactly what 491 00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:10.239 would be the reason? Why not? I'll tell you because not enough false 492 00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:15.480 teachers are teaching that. That's why the nice seeing creed is an encapsulation of 493 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:20.719 what we believe in the Christian faith. It's a neat and tidy encapsulation of 494 00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:24.199 it. Is it all the detail? It's not, But it's a quick 495 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:29.880 way to tell people here's what we believe. We have to have quick ways 496 00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:34.519 to do this because the world is so corrupt. Here's a quick way to 497 00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:39.760 look at how corupt the world is. What exactly is the unemployment rate in 498 00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:44.199 America? What is it? No? You could go look it up right 499 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.599 now and the number is not going to tell you the truth. Why Because 500 00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:51.159 once you've been unemployed for six months or I think it's is it six months 501 00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:53.320 or a year, you're no longer unemployed. Do you know that you're no 502 00:39:53.360 --> 00:40:00.920 longer employed if you get fired or your company you know this continuing you had 503 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:05.039 a good, high paying salary job at let's say one hundred grand a year, 504 00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:07.800 and you get fired and you're looking for something, so you take side 505 00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:13.679 jobs. If you have three side jobs earning maybe seventy grand a year, 506 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:16.639 you have three more jobs. You have two more jobs than you did before. 507 00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:23.599 You've increased your employment. That's how the numbers work. Our financial system 508 00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:30.039 is built on these illusions. But there's something you can no longer ignore, 509 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:34.599 and that is the role of inflation in this world. It is the silent 510 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:38.480 killer of retirement portfolios. This is the second time in two weeks that Zach 511 00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:43.960 Abraham has felt called to do a free live webinar about inflation and how it 512 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:49.760 kills retirement portfolios. I've never seen Zach do two workshops back to back like 513 00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.840 this before, because the last one was just utterly sold out. Zach's going 514 00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:58.719 to answer questions, so'll talk about how Bulwark uses active management of portfolios to 515 00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:02.880 manage through the risk of this high high inflation. I don't know how anything 516 00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:07.480 other than active management and risk management gets you through this.

So the niceen creed being debated at 524 00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:45.079 the Southern Baptist Conference. And here's what doctor James Merritt posted on Twitter. 525 00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:49.639 We have no need for a creed. We have the Bible. How can 526 00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:52.119 you improve on that? Any? Quotes Adrian Rodgers of having said that. 527 00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:57.639 Okay, So with due respect to doctor James Merritt, I agree you can't 528 00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:02.920 improve on the Bible. So why say the ten command? Why when we 529 00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:08.400 take communion? Why speak of the elements? I mean, We've we've got 530 00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:15.039 the Bible. Why focus down on a verse in a sermon? I mean 531 00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:20.960 we've got the Bible. And with all due respect to doctor Merritt, because 532 00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:24.760 people are going to ask us, what do Christians believe? I think the 533 00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:30.440 reason they don't want this at the Southern Baptist Convention is because the Nicene Creed 534 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:36.239 states what Christians believe that there are people who are asking that it be debated 535 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:39.599 and confirmed. T Andrews. Brown wants it confirmed. Good morning, mister 536 00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:44.159 President of My name is Andy Brown and I'm a messenger of First Baptist Church 537 00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:47.920 of Starbold, Mississippi. I move that the messengers of this annual meeting of 538 00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:54.280 the Southern Baptist Convention affirmed the Nicean Creed. The creed states, we believe 539 00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:58.519 in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of 540 00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:02.039 all things visible and business. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, 541 00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:06.679 the only begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages, 542 00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:09.400 God from God, the Light from Light, true God, from true God, 543 00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:15.199 Begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father. By 544 00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:19.960 Him all things were made for us and for our salvation. He descended from 545 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:22.440 heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was 546 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:28.119 made man. He was crucified for us under conscious pilot. He suffered death 547 00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.599 and was buried. On the third day, he rose again in accordance with 548 00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:35.159 the scriptures, and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the 549 00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:38.280 Father. He shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, 550 00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:43.960 and his kingdom shall have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, 551 00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.559 the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and 552 00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:51.920 the Son, and who with the Father and the Son together is worship and 553 00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:57.039 glorified. He spoke through the prophets, and in one Holy, Universal and 554 00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:00.719 Apostolic Church, we acknowledge, one Baptist the remission of sins, and we 555 00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:05.719 look forward to the resurrection of the dead in the life of the world. 556 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:12.039 To common comment, second, thank you please, and give a comedy of 557 00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:15.360 your emotion to the pain. So it's an encapsulation to what the Christian faith 558 00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:20.280 contains. And I think this is why it's controversy at the Southern Baptist Convention, 559 00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:24.880 because when you can neatly explain what Christians believe, it's harder and harder 560 00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:29.000 and harder for false teachers. Yeah, I'm a little careful, a little 561 00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:34.079 skittish about too much ecumenism, and I think the nicee in creed, while 562 00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:38.920 generally is a very good creed and has certainly been accepted by many traditions, 563 00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:45.880 there are still a couple of issues of wording in that Creed that could be 564 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:53.239 interpreted to foment or to produce doctrines or concepts of doctrines that we as Baptists 565 00:44:53.280 --> 00:45:07.840 would reject. What exactly is objectionable to a spot on encapsulation of what Christians 566 00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:14.360 believe. We'll spend some time in that this week. The Southern Baptist Convention 567 00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:20.119 pretending that God did not create male and female, pretending that God did not 568 00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:25.599 intend for marriatuld be between a man and a woman, is now pretending that 569 00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:32.519 it's controversial to encapsulate what we as Christians believe. I don't stand with that 570 00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:38.320 there is an awakening happening, and I want to make sure that this awakening 571 00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:45.280 comes with truth wrapped in grace. Someone posted something on LinkedIn a post about 572 00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:49.920 inclusiveness of pronouns, and again, I can say these things and have love 573 00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.199 for my cousin p It is not impossible. In fact, we disagree with 574 00:45:54.280 --> 00:46:00.559 people all the time about the way they live. Let's not make this case 575 00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:04.119 where we can't have a relationship because I won't use a pronoun with which I 576 00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:10.800 disagree. And let us be absolutely absolutely desirous of the Holy spirit running our 577 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:15.480 relationship with people who have those views. Let God handle this, Let God 578 00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:20.119 work to us in those circumstances. This person wrote, as an ally, 579 00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:23.119 I choose to create safe and brave spaces. I think it's safe to say 580 00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:27.599 it did not go the way she thought it would. She wrote, why 581 00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:30.519 don't use my pronouns and probably you might too, pronouns for something I learned 582 00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:36.400 in school, understood the relevance of it in a non binary context much later. 583 00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:38.880 Including my pronoun and as part of my name brings together my whole self. 584 00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:43.000 It is being an ally by creating a safe space for others to bring 585 00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:45.159 together their whole selves. As an ally, I choose to create a safe 586 00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:50.199 and brave space for more people to feel comfortable sharing their stories of pride. 587 00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:53.280 Happy Pride Month I help. Pride is a positive and continuing protest for the 588 00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:58.719 need to be all things equal. Share below how you were celebrating pride and 589 00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:00.920 read the article if you think as communicators we should be more inclusive in the 590 00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:07.719 languine use, I will note again one emotion among many that God deplores in 591 00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:13.920 human beings is pride. Human pride. He deplores it. As a gay 592 00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.880 man These are some of the responses to this LinkedIn post, and by the 593 00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:23.119 way, the woman who posts it is named well Mamuta Mamuta das ROI okay, 594 00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:28.519 interesting man James Roberts replies, as a gay man, when I hear 595 00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:31.199 someone announce their pronouns, it makes me shutter because it indicates they believe in 596 00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:35.719 an ideology that says a child can be born in the wrong body. Sharing 597 00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:37.840 pronouns says this is how you must think of me, even when I'm not 598 00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:42.320 around. I get that you want to be a good quote sis ally, 599 00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:45.159 but there are many gay man, lesbians, and even trans identifying people who 600 00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:51.000 had rather you didn't go along with the pronouns stating virtue signaling a leaf of 601 00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:55.480 Shakers rights. This is a sincere but misguided sentiment. The ritual of signaling 602 00:47:55.519 --> 00:48:00.880 pronouns professes a belief that we hold a gendered soul and compels a to participate 603 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:04.960 in that ritual. You might as well list your star sign pronouns is a 604 00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:07.880 signature in the signature is always a concern. It's unclear if you're dealing with 605 00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:12.800 a frightened sheep, a bubble headed rainbow tag along, or a gender zelot. 606 00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:17.920 Pronouns in the biosignal that you believe in regressive sexual sexist stereotypes and that 607 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:22.039 people can be born in the wrong body. Pronouns in the biosignal signal that 608 00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:27.199 you support the inclusion of men who identifies women in a female prisons, estate 609 00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:31.039 refuges, and women in sporting events. Pronouns in the bio indicate a support 610 00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:37.800 for the medicalization and sterilization of same sex attracted neurodiversion, or abused simply confused 611 00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:43.400 kids. I've grown very disenchanted with the slopism of female bourgeois nine binaries of 612 00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:46.039 the world. By all means defy sexis tropes. But when you deny sex 613 00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:51.079 itself, you betray the most vulnerable women amongst us and the protection that must 614 00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:54.519 be afforded to them on the basis of sex. And one more from Mary 615 00:48:54.559 --> 00:49:00.119 Taylor. I appreciate your intent was to be inclusive. It might help to 616 00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:02.800 understand just how offensive the pronoun issue is to many of us. It was 617 00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:07.960 started by transactivism, and many of us are simply done with transactivism, with 618 00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.000 the language that evolve from it and the harm we see it as caused to 619 00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:15.599 women's rights. To the ratire of gain lesbian identities, to the irreversible damage 620 00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:20.519 done through the continued push to medicalize vulnerable LGB autistic or troubled youth suffering from 621 00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:23.320 genderness. For you, these aren't little harms. I see them as crimes 622 00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:29.519 against humanity. The backlash it will inevitably be severe as the world wakes up. 623 00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:31.599 So many of us are hitting back against woke ideology, and we're hitting 624 00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:37.199 hard. There is, of course, in this the embedded belief that being 625 00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:42.760 same sex attracted is different. Well, it is because you don't end up 626 00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:47.400 chemically and surgically altering your body. And it is also, in my judgment, 627 00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:57.320 a confusion. It has been embraced and pushed, affirmed and made preferable 628 00:49:57.400 --> 00:50:05.159 to being same sex attracted. And I can love anybody who is same sex 629 00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.960 attracted because I disagree all the time with people, even on things they find 630 00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:16.440 very very important. Let us not give in to Satan's huge desire that we 631 00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:23.320 forget. Lord Jesus said the most important commandments, love the Lord, your 632 00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:28.519 God with your entire heart, soul, and mind. And the second is 633 00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:32.920 like it, love your neighbor as yourselves. On these two commands, all 634 00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:38.280 the other commandments and the law hangs. Let us not forget that. Lord, 635 00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:44.559 Thank you for the opportunity to embrace a family member, to feel true, 636 00:50:44.840 --> 00:50:52.360 complete, unconfused joy at the progress of peace life, the intellect you 637 00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:58.559 gave Pee, the loving nature, the willingness to rescue another. Thank you 638 00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:01.599 for letting me to experience that in a beloved family member. This is the 639 00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:05.320 Todd Hermann Shaw. Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, 640 00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:09.719 and please make every effort to love. Bye neighbor.
