So there's a theory I call gap theory. I mean it's not maybe my
theory. There's the God of the gaps theory, black box theory. The
gap theory is this that Satan operates in the gaps in our lives, and
that where there exists gaps, he's going to come in. This is particularly
true in relationships. It's particularly true in well human endeavors with one another,
parents, kids, wives, husbands, friends. It's also true in terms
of meaning that when people seek meaning outside of relationship with God, outside to
what's being communicated to them by God, what we know were created for,
then those gaps present this opportunity for Satan to get in the middle of this.
And I think this is happening to a great degree with young people across
the spectrum, but it's not just young people. I have a burden on
my heart to talk to young people because of the series of mistakes I've made.
Every time I've gone against God direction, it's been a bad idea.
Every time I've ignored his voice, it's ended in catastrophe. And I hope
that you can learn from that. Go have your own catastrophes, make up
your own. So I want to put some I guess detail to this and
look at the ways in which this is true across many spectrums of human behavior,
beginning oddly enough, in Portland, Oregon. You know, there's a
lot of gaps in Portland, and a lot of people have been handed meaning
in Portland in a way that I think Satan's playing in. We'll talk about
this with the help of Bioptimizers, makers of Mushroom break Through, part of
my new morning ritual which has allowed me, even on daylight today where candidly
I'm not feeling very well, not very well mentally, to be at peace
and after having spent time in the world, to sit down and say,
dude, you know what, despite all this, I didn't forget a stinking
thing this morning. Often that's not the case when I'm in these sort of
moods. We'll start now with the help of God Almighty, please make sure
I don't leave any gaps. Lord, I appreciate that the Todd Herman Show
is one hundred percent disapproved by big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. No from
the high mountains of Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Today is the day the Lord has made and these are the times so which
God has decided we shall live. The chat window for the live show is
open. Good morning to everybody. In fact, I just type that in
there a pro Hamas group. Oh bye boye, look at that. It's
a two coffee morning. It's a two coffee cup morning. This is actually
water, this is bone frog. There's a group of pro Hamas US rioters
who have started a local insurrection. You can see on the video screen if
you're watching the video show video dot the Todd Herman Show dot com. They
decided to go out and launch a premptive strike against against inanimate objects. See
the police in Portland were fixing to head over to Israel and kill themselves some
Palestinians. They were going to pack their cars up on barges, send them
over and come out with their Portland port and Police Department badges and they're nine
millimeters and go kill themselves some Hamas. This is a great example of a
gap, and Satan will jump into these gaps, gaps of meaning, and
young people who have been divorced from the Word of God do not have the
opportunity to understand the meaning that God gives us all, which is one,
to become holy in him, to be sanctified by him. In that process,
to become more like him. We can't be him, we can't become
gods, but become become more like Him. And in that there's just cascades
of meaning. For instance, feed the sheep, take care of the least
of these, build Christian relationships, spread the word, disciple make Those are
huge, huge missions. There's no greater bigger mission than helping people achieve eternity
with God. Find one for me. There's the mission of being fruitful,
of multiplying. If you are gifted to be married, some people are not
gifted to be married. Some people have to find a way to feel gifted
in single theom and I got to imagine that that's horribly, horribly difficult.
Just think it would be. But when meaning presents itself on a let's say,
website, super easy. Here's your meaning. You can fight right now
for people you I've never met, in a cause you do not understand,
and you don't even need to take time to understand it. You can simply
rely upon Hollywood and the people on the left to tell you how you should
feel. You could rely on your professors. They lack meaning as well,
So they've attached a meaning to bringing young people into fights like these, fights
that are not yours. If you could have your emotions assigned against another group
of human beings by a first group of human beings and you are in a
week week setting, if you were really operating with meaning and there were not
these gaps, people could look at this and say, wait a minute,
what does this mean to me? What does it mean to God? How
does God view a conflict like this? Well, you could be biblically strict
and say God's on the side of Israel because there's the Covenant, But you
can also look at this and say, any Yeah, Jesus took the word
outside of Jewish culture. He took it across the world. So God sees
us as his creation and wants us to rejoin his family. That's a huge
meaning. Now, if you've been assigned the meaning of burning down police cars,
how exactly do you get actual happiness, satisfaction, peace, joy,
charity, temperance and self control In that you don't you get a high?
This is how Satan does so much of this, replacing a high with satisfaction
a brother, replacing satisfaction with a high, replacing joy, which is a
state of well being outside of circumstances, with happiness, which is a state
of being regarding or responding to stimuli. I'm happy because versus I'm joyful despite.
That's one of the ways he plays. There's a comparison I often use
in these cases because I think it is one of the most profound and sad
comparisons I can think of, and that is this thing that happened on the
reservation and reservation call true. This is detailed in Ian Fraser's book on the
res There was a beautiful, beautiful word in Sioux culture, and that word
was perverted and it took on these different meanings. And I'll explain that in
just a second. Your environment can become perverted and you don't know it right.
For instance, I've talked about coming home and realizing, oh, that's
right, we have cats. Like when I'm walking in the door, Oh
that's right, I smell cats. Happened when I came home from Mexico.
When I came home from another trip recently, Yeah, there's cats in here.
So your environment can become perverted. You can head into your lake cabin.
For instance, you're going to open up. You know it's going to
be musty for the first couple of days. You know this. You know
you're going to use your RV for the first time this winter, over this
summer, and it's going to be musty. You know all of these things.
But now there's something you can do. You can get oxy leaf two.
This is basically producing the same effects in the air as after a thunderstorm.
It does this by actually manufacturing ozone, and that ozone, those ozone
molecules bond to bad smells and they destroy them at a molecular level. We
installed it in here and I could not believe how powerful it was. And
again, listen, you don't hear it. It's not an air filter.
Air ferrtials have to be replaced. You're basically renting the device. I mean,
you buy the device, but you're basically renting its usage because you have
to fill it up all the time with air filters. This is an air
cleanser. So breathe fresher air, never breathe dirty air again. Go to

of the most remarkably sad and potent stories. I know. It was a
type of happiness and it meant that you were seeing your daughter born for the
first time, you're holding her in your arms. It described that feeling or
being reunited with the loved one you'd not seen in a long time, or
proposing marriage. She said, yes, it's that sort of happiness, and
it was a very specific word. I can't speak, Sue. I've tried,
and it's just a joke show when I try it. The kids and
the res thought they were reclaiming their marriage, I mean, probably their relationship
with it with the past, and they started to use that word and they
used it wrong. It meant getting high. Of course, the elders heard
this and they were heartbroken. They lacked the ability to see the meaning in
that word. They lacked the ability then to have the feeling because they couldn't
describe it, they couldn't share it with one another. It was tragic and
potent. The young people in Portland, I think, lack the ability to
have a feeling of belonging, so they have manufactured it. That's a gap.
Satan plays in that gap, and he's playing to turn them into violent
little creeps. Sometimes there's gaps where you would never ever expect it. And
it's not just young people. This weekend there is a memorial service for one
of our pastors with one of our church plants, well not ours. I
wasn't there. I'm not in the leadership of the church. I'm just a
member. But the Lord has done amazing things through real life ministries. And
a pastor apparently took his own life. At some point there was a gap.
We don't know what that gap was, and at this point there's still
some of us who are befuddled thinking did he actually commit suicide? Gaps can
appear in the lives of anybody if you think of it this way, and
this is a metaphor for gaps. If you think of caring for a lawn
and the lawn is being attacked by weeds, there's two ways to go at
this. One is you attack the weeds. The other is you feed the
grass. If you talk to a landscape or they'll often tell you you're better
off feeding the grass, nurturing their grass, fertilizing the grass, growing it
into health, and it can of itself then take care of the weeds.
Other people simply fight the weeds. So the gaps come when there's lack of
fertilization, and those gaps sometimes meet opportunity. People can have lives that appear
to be full and complete, like these kids in Portland, like these kids
on the college campuses, like kids who are out protesting for so called trans
writes, like kids who are mutilting their bodies, and they've got tons of
meaning but no connection. And so that these gaps. There's a gap that
apparently appeared in the relationship between a pastor and his wife. Pastor John Paul
Miller Dude went through an entire sermon. He's a pretty young pastor, and
it was only at the end of the sermon that he started to say something
about his wife. There had to be gaps, gaps in caring, gaps
in listening, gaps in time, gaps in nurturing, gaps in being charitable,
gaps in not being boastful, not being proud, perhaps mental health gaps
in this man, because it's becoming clear that his wife was concerned for what
would become of her. This is the pastor. Remember this is at the
end of a sermon where he decided to say this, we're not going to
alter call today instead of Instead, I'm going to have you stand up and
I'm going to make an announcement, and after the announcement, I'm going to
ask that you believe church quietly and don't talk about the announcement. When a
pastor says something like this and then says, don't have fellowship over it,
he's creating a gap. Take what I say, walk out, do not
have fellowship, do not explore it, do not pray over it, don't
pray over me. Well, I guess he does ask to be prayed for,
but he's asked. He's created this gap that is not a godly,
godly undertaking. Don't create gaps. Yes, talk about it. Some of
the gaps that come up in people's lives that can lead to suicide like it
did apparently with this pastor apparently, or the gaps. If there's a thing
I can't say, I can't confess this, I can't ask for prayers over
it because I can't talk about it because people will hate me or people will
doubt me. And this is particularly true with pastors. I can't be doubted.
I have to lead the sheep. You could be doubted as a human
being. It doesn't mean God's word is doubted. It means that you're right
now, walk might be doubted. We'll shut up because you got to see
this. As he continues hearing the building, pleasey if you can't see,
y'all can stand to your feet. Before I make announcement. I also want
to say that my request to you is that you will continue to come to
church and serve and give for the next you know a little bit, because
I don't want to have I'm taking a little bit of a break and I
don't want to have to worry about the church. My break. Maybe a
few days, a few weeks, I don't know. I got a call
late last night my wife has passed away. Yeah, and it was it
was self induced, and it was up in North Carolina. And we're gonna
have a funeral for her next Sunday here at three pm. And so it's
all I can. Yeah, I'm just kind of going on adrenaline, right
now, so y'all pray for me and my kids and everybody. And she
wasn't you'll knew that she wasn't well mentally, and then she needed medicine that
was hard to get to her. And so I'm sure there'll be more details
to come, but just keep our family in your prayers. And I'm gonna
let Pastor Randall a bishop, he can pray. I get a microphone,
I'll pray out and if you have anything you want to share as well,
I appreciate it. The preface to not discuss this, to leave silently and
to not discuss it is deeply, deeply bothersome to me because it's offering up
a gap. I don't know what happened, and I don't know that anybody
does. But Nianas followed a bit of this and says that the discussion online
is there's a lot of people doubting this pastor stories. That's to correct a
lot of people doubting this pastor's story. And here's one of the reasons why
they're doubting this pastor's story. Now, the gap here doesn't appear to be
coming from the wife. This is her nine to one one call. Rblston
County. Now one one, what's the address of your emergency? Hi?
Are you able to trace the location on my phone? For watching the video
service, you can see where she was. You don't know where you're at?
A national park? What's the phone NU where you're calling me from?
Eight? Four three six five five five two four two? Where's the park
located at in Bear Bluff? I have my location on I think on my
phone. Find my phone is on listed, my sharelo my location. Okay,
I'm showing oh you again. If you're watching the video service, you
can see where she was and sever action. Thank you or Ian Robinson County.
Yeah, lumber the Lumber River State Park, and yeah, that's where
I am. Tell me what's happened. I'm about to kill myself and I
just want my family to know where to find me. Okay, ma'am,
just listen what I'm saying. Okay, let me make sure I got the
exact location where you're at. Okay, just one minute. There are people
doubting this story, and they're doubting it because she had said many many times,
if something happens to me, it's not me. And yet there's the
phone call, the gaps, some of the gaps are in meaning Satan will
crawl into that. Some of the gaps are in our response. When somebody
is sharing with you hurt and they're sharing with you fear. If they're in
the body of Christ, it's our responsibility to hurt with them, because when
one member of the body hurts, another member is two hurts. If they're
human, it's our responsibility to jump into that gap. And if this is
a consistent theme and this person isn't able to change this theme and they're not
able to move away from the circumstance, sometimes it's our job to step in
and help them move away from the circumstance. With the increase in teen suicides
and suicide attempts, there's clearly this gap, and sometimes with teens it's the
gap of not truly being able to share or this and this is much more
modern. There's a new gap in teen lives with the increase in suicides and
psychotropic drugs. And this is the one that deeply, deeply concerns me.
It's a gap in horror, it's a gap in being shocked because of the
way that we have pathologized children. There is a gap that's being filled with
words like depression and anxiety, and add well, these are not satanic.
Sometimes people have these conditions, but Satan is playing in a gap where we
are unable to be shocked. And so I'll tell you what I mean by
this. As we talk about this gap theory, the gap in the ability
to be shocked. Anybody who heard this lady say, hey, if I
am killed, it's not me. If I show up dead, I didn't
do it and didn't jump into action, has been maybe desensitized to the need
for action. This is particularly true among young people. The pathologizing of young
people taking something, for instance, of a going through sadness, going through
depression, struggling with attention issues to is to place meaning on it. You
are depressed, you are anxious, you have an eating disorder. You're not
going through one, you have one. And as kids are pathologized, of
course lurking in the background, as are dear dear friends at Farmer, ready
to jump in and cure them. But it assigns meaning. And I can't
tell you how bizarre the nature of this is, but it is true.
If you go into any treatment facility with young people, they have contests about
who has the most comorbid conditions. Who has the seriousness or the most serious
condition. This is the true fact in eating disorder clinics. The people who
get tubed are heroic. If you want to be the top echelon of sick,
you get yourself tubed. You refuse to eat That way, you show
you are rock solid in terms of your eating disorder. This makes it impossible
for teens to be shocked. Oh my gosh, my friend said she's gonna
kill herself. Oh you two who isn't killing their self? In fact,
I think the schedule for killing selves is full this weekend. Could you move
it back? It's like showing up at prom with the same dress. We
can't have that. The gap is the emotional response that another human being is
considering this, and Satan has jumped into the gap where we would say to
somebody, you're experiencing troubles. Jesus warned us, do not be surprised when
fear, when you experience trouble in this land, in this life, do
not be experienced. Do not be surprised by that, because it's going to
happen. It doesn't mean I'm not walking with you. And understand this.
Jesus faced trials too, clearly some of the worst trials that anyone could ever
face. When we don't have that language, that's a massive gap. When
kids don't have that, it's a massive gap. So Satan jumps in and
instead of it being trouble something you're going through, it's a condition. This
defines you. It's just like same sex attraction. It's not something you feel,
it's something you are that assigns you meaning, It assigns you identity.
That's a massive, massive gap. We weren't designed for that to be our
meaning. Our meaning was designed to be people who tend the garden on behalf
of God, stewards of creation. We were given dominion over the plants and
the animals, and that dominion extends because it's power delegated to us by the
King, by God himself. That's huge meaning that's stolen from you. You
get sub meanings, and young people end up saying, how is it that
I could have meaning? And there's people who do things like I do.
Sometimes people take on meanings saying, well, look, all I do is
I'm a jock. All I do is I'm a music guy. All I
do is I'm a YouTuber. Praise God, I don't my meaning into I
do a little CrossFit here and there. Young people do not just with CrossFit,
but with other areas of gaps. I allowed a massive gap in my
daughter's life. Huge mistake when my daughter began to tell me that she would
not be happy until she weighed a very specific weight. I'll never forget the
conversation. I can picture it to this moment. I can even remember the
spell of the room because we didn't have the oxy leaf too. I can
remember my daughter saying, Dad, I won't be happy until I weigh eighty
pounds. Stupidly, I said, honey, you know you're never going to
weigh eighty pounds again, stupid idiot. I opened a massive gap instead of
stepping into the gap and saying, wow, that's an interesting number. Tell
me about that. Why eighty? Why not eighty four? And this is
this you believe? Make your happy? Can you and I do something together?
Could we pull up on God's word and see what he says about happiness
and satisfaction? In fact, let's go look at what God says about love,
because it doesn't sound like you're loving yourself. Can we find that in
the Bible together? That was a massive gap. So I relied on my
own intelligence, just telling her bluntly, well that's never gonna happen. And
you're beautiful now, and you're great now, and you're perfect now, and
plus you're athletic. I mean, you've got more muscle mass than other girls
because you're a speed skin What an idiot, an absolute buffoon. Hey,
you've got more muscle mass. Girl confroned about your gross weight gap. I
had a gap in my head. Relying on my own wisdom. I made
my daughter more sad rather than trying to you know, I was trying to
help massive, massive gap. Yeah, I've taken that to the cross.
It was not empathy, it was convincing. It was trying to take my
will and substitute it for her lack of will. How could she have will
as a kid at that level? And of course there are media entities ready
to jump into this and provide meeting. This is simply a news report from
PBS. But look at the way the news report is cast. If you're
watching the video service, look at the little text over behind the kind anchor
lady's head. A federal appeals court issued to groundbreaking ruling last night ensuring that
gender affirming surgery is covered by state run health insurance programs. Stephanie Saie has
that report. It says behind her trans in America, fake meaning of a
fake condition, describing fake care, and a whole bunch of people behind this
and this is now their meaning. I defend so called trans people OMNA.
This decision centered around two lawsuits with trans people in West Virginia and North Carolina
suing to secure insurance coverage for gender or firming care such as hormone therapy,
and the Federal Appellate Court in Richmond, split eight to six, ordered that
the state healthcare plans quote reinstate coverage for medically necessary services for the treatment of
gender dysphoria. The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics wrote briefs
in support of the trans plaintiffs. It is a win for the trans community,
but it may not be the final word on the issue. For more
on all of this, I'm joined by NPR Selena Simmons Duffin, who covers
health policy for NPR. Selena, it's good to see you on that.
I bet she's going to come in and say, here's what the opponents say,
this is what the people who created the bill to stop these things.
Here's what they say. I bet she's going to provide that point of view.
Use our So as you know, there are numerous court cases around the
country about transgender rights and access to gender affirm and care. How significant was
this ruling and what are the big takeaways to you? How significant is the
ruling? The discussion is cast to say how big a victory is this for
these people who have their meaning in this. Satan jumps into the gap.
The media jumps with Satan. Here's the meaning of this. You are trans.
You're not a kid, you're not going through pain, you're not questioning
your gender. You are trans. Congratulations, there's your meaning. That gap
is filled. What does this mean, Well, it means a great victory
for justice. Boom, your meaning? Your gap is filled. Hey,
I've burned a bunch of police cars in Portland. It was a preemptive strike
because they were getting ready to kill Palestinians. Boom, You've got your meaning,
But you have those satisfaction you have nothing that can last. You have
no joy, you have dopamine hits, or in this case, you have
a false sense of self. These gaps multiply sometimes in those interpersonal relationships,
the inability to be shocked what. I have a friend who says they're going
to try to kill themselves because it's become passe, it's become something people here
every day. There's a book called The Alpha Female's Guide to Men and Marriage.
Joy Pullman is the executive editor of The Federalists. You described herself as
a happy wife and the mother of six children, and by the way,
also an executive editor. So she's clearly not a woman who says that women
shouldn't work. She is working. But she gives this book to her friends,
her female friends in particular, And I want you to hear why,
because it contains meaning, as she sees it, meaning important for others.
The conversation with my wife and mother, well she's not my mother, but
she's my daughter's mother. Obviously my wife. She started to use my native
path krill, and this thrills me, absolutely thrills me. She's also recommending
it to her mom. We have a lot of relatives in our lives who
are smacking down ibiprofen. Ask around. In fact, you know what,
this just occurred to me. I was at a track meet a couple weeks
ago. And it was talking to some young guys. I know some of
these young men and were just now just I seem as men because I matured
to such a level. And I overheard a conversation between two teen athletes I'm
guessing they were seniors and what is the sertuskips? Could doude you got any
ivy? They god? Oh, no, a drug deal. I don't
want to hear this. And it was iberprofen. Hey hold on, And
I asked one of the kids. I know, one of the young men.
I said, Hey, how much hyberprofen did people take? He goes,
Oh, people take iboprophone all the time. Everybody's got some. Sounds
like a van handshung. Everybody's got some or everybody wants some. Yeah,
I want some too, David the Roth. So these kids seventeen and eighteen
are snacking on iberprofen. I don't know about you. I never took that
stuff on us. I had a fever, although recently in the past few
years have been eating four iberprofen every single night almost not that's not quite true,
but often maybe three four days a week when I worked out hard because
I was so sore. Then I learned that iyberprofen actually causes inflammation. It
masks the symptoms and it causes more inflammation. That's a neat tre Farmers really
good at what they do. It destroys your gut lining. When that happens,
there are things that should they get into your body, particulates that shouldn't
be there, and that causes inflammation. And I take it omega threes before.
I mean, I work out all the time. I'm kind of a
health nut. Of course I've taken them, but it never had krill.
Native pathkrill is fifty percent more absorbable than fish based omega threes. In the
case of native pathcrill, it is from the waters of the Antarctic, the
cleanest waters in the ocean, and that means it doesn't have things like mercury,
heavy metals, et cetera. In this it's not just inflammation. This
helps fight It's six thousand times more powerful than vitamin C, one hundred times
more powerful than vitamin E, five times more powerful than beta keroteene, and
it's eight times more bioavailable in your body and fifty percent more absorbable. Here's
what's happened. I don't need iboprofen doesn't matter how much I work out.
Be it one of my big twelve hour days next weekend, by the way,
sixteen, or if it's a really really difficult one or two hour workout,
or maybe just a CrossFit blast thirty minute blowout, you don't need it
either. Go to nativepathcrill dot com slash todd. That's nativepathcrill dot com slash
todd and replace the iberprofen in your life. And by the way, ask
your friends if they're snacking an iberprofen and you've got kids in track, I
think they're snacking an ibprophone. In fact, I know they are nativepathcrill dot
com slash todd. Joypullman gives her female friends a book called The Alpha Female's
Guide to Men in Marriage, and this is what she writes in The Federalist
about the book. Her overwhelming theme is simple, be happy. Women have
to do just about the opposite of what secularized Western culture tells them. This
theme builds on other how to books like Suzanna's written, including The Alpha Female's
Guide to Me in Marriage, which I buy for friends and their wedding showers.
One of our most controversial and internal viral stances or primary Internet viral stances
has been to explain why daycare damage is children, something about which most millennial
and Gen Z women know nothing. They've been told daycares good for babies and
toddlers, that it helps them get ready for school and to socialize and to
give mom a break. They haven't been told that daycare is just about the
worst childcare environment possible because it's chaotic and overstimulating, prompting promoting, prompting chronic
corticol stress surges that can tend small children towards anxious, moody and being sick
for the rest of their lives. When Mama needs a break in few hours
at home with a babysitter, even better if it's a dad or another family
member, are far better. Now there are people who have to do daycare.
I know this. I've talked to young friends who are great parents and
they love their kids, and their kids seem well, and they use daycare
sometimes is a last resort, and every time they talk to me about it,
that go, dude, I hate dropping my kid off. There were
really trying not to do it. Thank God that people are revealing this and
yes there is this research researchers. She writes, are looking at tons of
things to pinpoint causes of skyrocketing youth anxiety and depression, from social media to
COVID nineteen to sexual orientation, to puberty and peer pressure. What hardly anyone
has done is investigate further the research indicated link between long term nonparent care and
lifelong chronic anxiety and agitation. What does it mean to swim against the cultural
Curren Suzanne says. She lays it out in her chapter titles Live and Examined
Life. Prioritize marriage and family of her career, unleash your feminine power,
date with purpose, don't have babies who are not stay home with them just
because you're in debt, Change your definition of work, life balance, Learn
the truth about daycare that no one ever told you. And love your life,
not theirs. This meaning for moms and parents, there's sometimes a gap.
Was talking to a young woman the other day, she's gonna have her
first child. God bless them. They don't know the Lord. They are
fantastic people. They are smart, and they are caring, and they do
great work in people's lives. And I simply said, man, what's that
going to be like? To stay home and raise a baby, she doesn't
have to work. She goes, Oh, that's never happening. Ever,
Oh no, I'm gonna say flat out that my job is to go back
to work as soon as possible, and my kids and I are going to
have an understanding. There's mom time and then there's me time. I don't
have permission to speak into this lady's life. I don't have that sort of
emotional permission. This is someone I barely know. It's a professional relationship,
period. Am I worried? Yeah? I mean I guess I can give
a baby shower gift. Right. The meaning of parents is, yes,
prioritize your marriage because it is the environment in which your kids swim. It
is their oxygen, it is their emotional oxygen. It is what God tells
us to prioritize first. And then the meaning of parents is sometimes to sacrifice.
And it's that meaning, it's that mission, it's that gap that if
you don't fill, other people will fill. And in this environment, it's
not just PBS, it's not just Netflix that's gonna feel this. There are
people who are targeting kids whose parents are not making the sacrifice. I'm not
talking about groomers and pedophiles, although they too. I am talking about people
who have gaps in their lives, like this counselor at Lakes Middle School in
Curling, Idaho, who apparently goes around trans and kids. That's her meaning.
There was some gap in her life. She sees a girl who's deeply
depressed, who has probably a whole host of mental issues, that girl herself
having been adopted, which for many many people is deeply painful if it's not
dealt with properly. She sees that and jumps in and says, hey,
I'm going to give you meaning. You're a boy. I'm going to jump
into that gap. Satan's behind all of this. Hey, look, you're
a boy. That's why you're sad. Forget your depression and your anxiety.
Forget the fact that you are now going through puberty, which whacks everybody out.
Forget all that you're a boy. There's your meaning. Now fight for
that. Then get into this fight with your mom. Your meaning is to
fight with your mom. Those people lurk and wait for parents who leave gaps
in kids' lives to jump in, just like Johnny Pervert waits at the mall
to see, Hey, which kids don't have friends, which girl doesn't feel
good about the way she looks. This is the way pimps operates. Who's
the teen girl who doesn't like the way she looks? I'll go cozy up
to her. I think you're beautiful. I don't know if people can't see
this by the way, you're wise beyond your years. It's the oldest game
in pimptum, and now medical professionals and counselors are playing this because there's been
a gap left in their lives, so they pathologize. It's all the things
we're talking about. Kids hurt, young people hurt because of gaps. I
beg you to jump into the gaps in people's lives, your kids first and
foremost, your marriage first and foremost. Where there's gaps in your marriage,
time together, respect for one another, you've probably changed. I'm gonna guess
if you got married at the age of twenty one and you're forty, I'm
gonna bet you've changed. Have you guys checked in with each other to see,
Hey, how have we changed? How are we different people? How
do we need to be nurtured in ways that we didn't need to be nurtured
before. What are the things that interest us that didn't before. What are
needs that we have that we didn't have before? Have you checked in on
that or are you letting a gap run that stuff? Because if gaps run
at good luck, you're gonna end up with a sick marriage. And yeah,
there are people looking out there who want to jump into those gaps too,
grooming like you bet there are. There's a massive, massive gap in
meaning and this affects young people globally, and just as I just described with
this family circumstance and these not I don't think they're well meaning. I'm sure
this lady thinks she's an angel of light. I don't think she is.
I think she's operating on behalf of the fake angel of light and she doesn't
know that. Globally there's a mass lack of meaning and there are organizations who
jump into this. One of the greatest indicators of lack of meaning in history
was mask copying, when you saw people suddenly turn in mask cops. Up
to and including there's a case in Seattle at a hardware store where a hardware
store employee beat a guy with a pipe because with a big metal pipe because
dude wasn't wearing a mask. He beat him. He's I'm not saying minimum
wage is bad. Everybody starts somewhere, but a minimum wage employee says,
you're not coming into this hardware store. I'm gonna beat you with a pipe.
You're not wearing a mask. It was a massive assignation of meaning.
There's a priest who reminds us. There's a priest reminds us about how meaning
can be taken from us under Angel of light metaphors. I want to share
that with you in a second. Man, I am getting more and more
jazz about this trip to Mexico. We've got a bunch of people now signed
up. We have a room for fifteen couples or thirty individuals. Here's why
the woman it is not to be elitist. It's really not. This is
a wellction, and it starts with the decision to use renew Wealthcare or renew
Health to do things like this. If you have chronic lower lumbar pain and
people saying you gotta get surgery, please, I beg you go to renew
location dot com and contact them, let them see your mriz. Their medical
professionals. The two doctors I work with are Harvard certified back when Harvard meant
something. By the way, let them look at that. They may be
able to address this with ethically harvested stem cells from placentas and umbilical cords,
not the other kinds. Okay, these are not exposed to the modified RNA
injections. Those cells have no purpose assigned to them. They assign themselves a
purpose when they get into your body. And in my case, it was
a Harvard certified surgeon who put forty two million of those cells into my shoulder
capsule, and my shoulder has recovered absolutely brutly twenty maybe even one hundred times
better than the other one. If you have arthritis, same thing. Tell
them about your condition. If you have just generalized muscle pain, tell them
about that. If you're facing soldier surgery or recovering from surgery, tell them
about that. They can speed the recovery. They did it for me.
They've even worked with radically difficults neurological conditions, like a woman who was hemispherically
paralyzed. She came in on a wheelchair. The doctors had told her,
get ready to change your house because you're never gonna walk again. So by
a one story house. She said, no, I'm going to Renew Healthcare.
So go to renew wecation dot com. Start that process. You're gonna
have a meeting with one of their doctors. They're going to tell you if
they can help the wellcation. The cation part of this June seventh through eleventh.
I'm going down. A bunch of people are going down. We're going
to hang out together and get to know each other. You're gonna get four
nights at an all inclusive accommodations. This is on the beach in Port of
Art to Mexico. I have stayed there. These are stunning rooms. It
includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, drinks and snacks. That's all included.
By the way, those meals are not Chinci. They are first class,
big time restaurant type meals. You get round trip VIP airport transfers.
There's a welcome dinner at Renew. We're all going to hang out together so
we get to know each other, play games together. Going the beach.
You're invited to my three day a day or three time a day workouts if
you want to go. Sunrise church service more important or not said more exactly.
I'm gonna be giving a sermon and you're invited to join in. We're
going to make that a prayer thing, a sunset cruise on one hundred foot
yacht, and a farewell dinner on the beach, all of this while you're
getting healthcare taken care of. Single occupancy is only one thousand, five hundred
and eighty eight bucks, double occupancy one thousand and four and eighty eight per
person. It's that simple. Go to renew location dot com June seventh through
the eleventh. I've got my tickets. I cannot wait to meet you.
Renew location dot com. Slash todd Is that right? No, No slash
todd. Renew location dot com. Renew location dot com. Bishop Baron describes
something in the way of perloined, meaning it is the dictatorship of something,
and it's something that the pulp perhaps the last Christian Pope, our Catholic pope,
said, although I trust that the Catholic Church, the Lord will write
it, I trust that there will one day be another Christian Pope. One
of the most conspicuous consequences of the collapse of institutional religion is what Joseph Ratzinger
Pope been in at the sixteenth called famously the dictatorship of relativism, or the
conviction that there's no objective ground for morality and certainly no summum bonum which would
serve to regulate human thought and activity. Instead of imitating and incorporating the great
objective values, I now create them out of the sovereignty of my own will.
Again, that lockey in overtones the nature of the will that isn't lured
by the good outside of itself, but terminates in its own activity, triminates
in its own activity, the creation of meaning from our own will. Except
it's not meaning. He's talking about the dictatorship of realgelativism as meaning. Relativism
has no meaning because all things are relative. It's just like postmodernists who say,
here's a fact, nothing is true. You can't have meaning in that
when your meaning is your feelings. I am same sex attracted, No,
you're gay. Your feelings ebb and flow, So therefore your meaning ebbs and
flows. When you're assigned an identity like oh, you're confused about your gender.
No, no, no, no, you're trans boom stops there.
As you age and you mature, what does that meaning do? It rots?
In so many people? It rots because as they inexorably face God's maturation
process. They look back and say, wait a minute, this was never
me. That's right, because it was never your meaning. It's in these
gaps at Satan place. And I beg anybody listening to this to make sure
that you leap both feet into the gaps first of all, at home with
your marriage, with your kids. Leap into this with other people's kids,
because get this, they're going to be the people with whom your kids interact.
And with young people raising kids. I get it. Sometimes daycare is
necessary. But as we're hearing now in the chat room, Dee Craigs,
I would ask anyone considering having kids, why have them if you're not willing
to raise them. My wife and I made the decision for her to quit
her job to follow God's plan for our family. Richly blessed us. John
Caldwell is same with wife left work force to focus on the family. My
wife stayed home and raised our daughter and quit being a teacher. So there
are people who do that. There are also people who, sometimes to circumstances
that arise after marriage, are going to have to drop kids into daycare.
Let's not let's not jump into that. As are meaning to it now if
it's a convenience thing like this other lady I was talking about, Oh yeah,
there's mom time and there's me time. Though there's not. That's an
absence of meaning. It's a gap. There are young people right now in
your town and in your church, and there's massive gaps. Their parents don't
have time for them, they don't have concern about them. They're not going
to show up for their sporting events because they're busy, they're not emotionally available.
I'm not saying they're bad people. I'm saying these are circumstances. If
you want to save America, jump into the gaps. Saving America is a
consolation prize. I think if you do this on a Christian basis, you
can also let God work through you to save souls. And that's our ultimate
meaning. Don't let the gaps become eternal, because the worst gap ever is
an eternal gap between you and God or your children. God. Don't let
that gap happen because after a time, it will be an eternal choice.
This is the Todd Herman Show. Please go, be well, be strong,
be kind, and make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
