WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.240 So there's a theory I call gap theory. I mean it's not maybe my 2 00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:09.119 theory. There's the God of the gaps theory, black box theory. The 3 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:14.679 gap theory is this that Satan operates in the gaps in our lives, and 4 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:18.640 that where there exists gaps, he's going to come in. This is particularly 5 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:25.199 true in relationships. It's particularly true in well human endeavors with one another, 6 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.879 parents, kids, wives, husbands, friends. It's also true in terms 7 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:37.920 of meaning that when people seek meaning outside of relationship with God, outside to 8 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.119 what's being communicated to them by God, what we know were created for, 9 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.920 then those gaps present this opportunity for Satan to get in the middle of this. 10 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.679 And I think this is happening to a great degree with young people across 11 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.679 the spectrum, but it's not just young people. I have a burden on 12 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.600 my heart to talk to young people because of the series of mistakes I've made. 13 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:00.479 Every time I've gone against God direction, it's been a bad idea. 14 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.959 Every time I've ignored his voice, it's ended in catastrophe. And I hope 15 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.640 that you can learn from that. Go have your own catastrophes, make up 16 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.920 your own. So I want to put some I guess detail to this and 17 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.480 look at the ways in which this is true across many spectrums of human behavior, 18 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.480 beginning oddly enough, in Portland, Oregon. You know, there's a 19 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.719 lot of gaps in Portland, and a lot of people have been handed meaning 20 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.799 in Portland in a way that I think Satan's playing in. We'll talk about 21 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.000 this with the help of Bioptimizers, makers of Mushroom break Through, part of 22 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.879 my new morning ritual which has allowed me, even on daylight today where candidly 23 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.319 I'm not feeling very well, not very well mentally, to be at peace 24 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.120 and after having spent time in the world, to sit down and say, 25 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.760 dude, you know what, despite all this, I didn't forget a stinking 26 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.719 thing this morning. Often that's not the case when I'm in these sort of 27 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.959 moods. We'll start now with the help of God Almighty, please make sure 28 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.840 I don't leave any gaps. Lord, I appreciate that the Todd Herman Show 29 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:17.560 is one hundred percent disapproved by big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. No from 30 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:25.080 the high mountains of Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 31 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.840 Today is the day the Lord has made and these are the times so which 32 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.439 God has decided we shall live. The chat window for the live show is 33 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.560 open. Good morning to everybody. In fact, I just type that in 34 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:51.639 there a pro Hamas group. Oh bye boye, look at that. It's 35 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.840 a two coffee morning. It's a two coffee cup morning. This is actually 36 00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:00.520 water, this is bone frog. There's a group of pro Hamas US rioters 37 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.800 who have started a local insurrection. You can see on the video screen if 38 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.199 you're watching the video show video dot the Todd Herman Show dot com. They 39 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:19.400 decided to go out and launch a premptive strike against against inanimate objects. See 40 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:24.240 the police in Portland were fixing to head over to Israel and kill themselves some 41 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:29.560 Palestinians. They were going to pack their cars up on barges, send them 42 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:35.520 over and come out with their Portland port and Police Department badges and they're nine 43 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:40.439 millimeters and go kill themselves some Hamas. This is a great example of a 44 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:47.280 gap, and Satan will jump into these gaps, gaps of meaning, and 45 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.360 young people who have been divorced from the Word of God do not have the 46 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.240 opportunity to understand the meaning that God gives us all, which is one, 47 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.000 to become holy in him, to be sanctified by him. In that process, 48 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.159 to become more like him. We can't be him, we can't become 49 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:10.960 gods, but become become more like Him. And in that there's just cascades 50 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.879 of meaning. For instance, feed the sheep, take care of the least 51 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:21.120 of these, build Christian relationships, spread the word, disciple make Those are 52 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:29.680 huge, huge missions. There's no greater bigger mission than helping people achieve eternity 53 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.360 with God. Find one for me. There's the mission of being fruitful, 54 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.759 of multiplying. If you are gifted to be married, some people are not 55 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.800 gifted to be married. Some people have to find a way to feel gifted 56 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:46.000 in single theom and I got to imagine that that's horribly, horribly difficult. 57 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.560 Just think it would be. But when meaning presents itself on a let's say, 58 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:59.279 website, super easy. Here's your meaning. You can fight right now 59 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.480 for people you I've never met, in a cause you do not understand, 60 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.160 and you don't even need to take time to understand it. You can simply 61 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.839 rely upon Hollywood and the people on the left to tell you how you should 62 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.160 feel. You could rely on your professors. They lack meaning as well, 63 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.439 So they've attached a meaning to bringing young people into fights like these, fights 64 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:23.120 that are not yours. If you could have your emotions assigned against another group 65 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.160 of human beings by a first group of human beings and you are in a 66 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.439 week week setting, if you were really operating with meaning and there were not 67 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.480 these gaps, people could look at this and say, wait a minute, 68 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:41.160 what does this mean to me? What does it mean to God? How 69 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.759 does God view a conflict like this? Well, you could be biblically strict 70 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.040 and say God's on the side of Israel because there's the Covenant, But you 71 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.199 can also look at this and say, any Yeah, Jesus took the word 72 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.720 outside of Jewish culture. He took it across the world. So God sees 73 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:01.399 us as his creation and wants us to rejoin his family. That's a huge 74 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.199 meaning. Now, if you've been assigned the meaning of burning down police cars, 75 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:14.439 how exactly do you get actual happiness, satisfaction, peace, joy, 76 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.879 charity, temperance and self control In that you don't you get a high? 77 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:26.600 This is how Satan does so much of this, replacing a high with satisfaction 78 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.279 a brother, replacing satisfaction with a high, replacing joy, which is a 79 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:38.079 state of well being outside of circumstances, with happiness, which is a state 80 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:45.120 of being regarding or responding to stimuli. I'm happy because versus I'm joyful despite. 81 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.319 That's one of the ways he plays. There's a comparison I often use 82 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.720 in these cases because I think it is one of the most profound and sad 83 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.720 comparisons I can think of, and that is this thing that happened on the 84 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.920 reservation and reservation call true. This is detailed in Ian Fraser's book on the 85 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:10.720 res There was a beautiful, beautiful word in Sioux culture, and that word 86 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.920 was perverted and it took on these different meanings. And I'll explain that in 87 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:21.639 just a second. Your environment can become perverted and you don't know it right. 88 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.720 For instance, I've talked about coming home and realizing, oh, that's 89 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.720 right, we have cats. Like when I'm walking in the door, Oh 90 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.279 that's right, I smell cats. Happened when I came home from Mexico. 91 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.879 When I came home from another trip recently, Yeah, there's cats in here. 92 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.319 So your environment can become perverted. You can head into your lake cabin. 93 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.079 For instance, you're going to open up. You know it's going to 94 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.439 be musty for the first couple of days. You know this. You know 95 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.000 you're going to use your RV for the first time this winter, over this 96 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.720 summer, and it's going to be musty. You know all of these things. 97 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.199 But now there's something you can do. You can get oxy leaf two. 98 00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:01.600 This is basically producing the same effects in the air as after a thunderstorm. 99 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.839 It does this by actually manufacturing ozone, and that ozone, those ozone 100 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.879 molecules bond to bad smells and they destroy them at a molecular level. We 101 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.560 installed it in here and I could not believe how powerful it was. And 102 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.759 again, listen, you don't hear it. It's not an air filter. 103 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.279 Air ferrtials have to be replaced. You're basically renting the device. I mean, 104 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.319 you buy the device, but you're basically renting its usage because you have 105 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.720 to fill it up all the time with air filters. This is an air 106 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:35.360 cleanser. So breathe fresher air, never breathe dirty air again.

The way this word in Sue culture was twisted is one 111 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.960 of the most remarkably sad and potent stories. I know. It was a 112 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:15.240 type of happiness and it meant that you were seeing your daughter born for the 113 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.600 first time, you're holding her in your arms. It described that feeling or 114 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.679 being reunited with the loved one you'd not seen in a long time, or 115 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.960 proposing marriage. She said, yes, it's that sort of happiness, and 116 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.879 it was a very specific word. I can't speak, Sue. I've tried, 117 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.080 and it's just a joke show when I try it. The kids and 118 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.759 the res thought they were reclaiming their marriage, I mean, probably their relationship 119 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.320 with it with the past, and they started to use that word and they 120 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.879 used it wrong. It meant getting high. Of course, the elders heard 121 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.919 this and they were heartbroken. They lacked the ability to see the meaning in 122 00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:01.639 that word. They lacked the ability then to have the feeling because they couldn't 123 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.039 describe it, they couldn't share it with one another. It was tragic and 124 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.320 potent. The young people in Portland, I think, lack the ability to 125 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:18.000 have a feeling of belonging, so they have manufactured it. That's a gap. 126 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.639 Satan plays in that gap, and he's playing to turn them into violent 127 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:31.000 little creeps. Sometimes there's gaps where you would never ever expect it. And 128 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:37.399 it's not just young people. This weekend there is a memorial service for one 129 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.799 of our pastors with one of our church plants, well not ours. I 130 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.240 wasn't there. I'm not in the leadership of the church. I'm just a 131 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.480 member. But the Lord has done amazing things through real life ministries. And 132 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:56.440 a pastor apparently took his own life. At some point there was a gap. 133 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.799 We don't know what that gap was, and at this point there's still 134 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:05.200 some of us who are befuddled thinking did he actually commit suicide? Gaps can 135 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.480 appear in the lives of anybody if you think of it this way, and 136 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.639 this is a metaphor for gaps. If you think of caring for a lawn 137 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.320 and the lawn is being attacked by weeds, there's two ways to go at 138 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:24.000 this. One is you attack the weeds. The other is you feed the 139 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.519 grass. If you talk to a landscape or they'll often tell you you're better 140 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.559 off feeding the grass, nurturing their grass, fertilizing the grass, growing it 141 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.240 into health, and it can of itself then take care of the weeds. 142 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:41.240 Other people simply fight the weeds. So the gaps come when there's lack of 143 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:48.000 fertilization, and those gaps sometimes meet opportunity. People can have lives that appear 144 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.879 to be full and complete, like these kids in Portland, like these kids 145 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.159 on the college campuses, like kids who are out protesting for so called trans 146 00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:00.960 writes, like kids who are mutilting their bodies, and they've got tons of 147 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:07.000 meaning but no connection. And so that these gaps. There's a gap that 148 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:13.080 apparently appeared in the relationship between a pastor and his wife. Pastor John Paul 149 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:20.639 Miller Dude went through an entire sermon. He's a pretty young pastor, and 150 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.440 it was only at the end of the sermon that he started to say something 151 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:31.279 about his wife. There had to be gaps, gaps in caring, gaps 152 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.799 in listening, gaps in time, gaps in nurturing, gaps in being charitable, 153 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.519 gaps in not being boastful, not being proud, perhaps mental health gaps 154 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:48.120 in this man, because it's becoming clear that his wife was concerned for what 155 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.840 would become of her. This is the pastor. Remember this is at the 156 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.200 end of a sermon where he decided to say this, we're not going to 157 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.279 alter call today instead of Instead, I'm going to have you stand up and 158 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.440 I'm going to make an announcement, and after the announcement, I'm going to 159 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:11.480 ask that you believe church quietly and don't talk about the announcement. When a 160 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.039 pastor says something like this and then says, don't have fellowship over it, 161 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.320 he's creating a gap. Take what I say, walk out, do not 162 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.679 have fellowship, do not explore it, do not pray over it, don't 163 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.440 pray over me. Well, I guess he does ask to be prayed for, 164 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.840 but he's asked. He's created this gap that is not a godly, 165 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.720 godly undertaking. Don't create gaps. Yes, talk about it. Some of 166 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.799 the gaps that come up in people's lives that can lead to suicide like it 167 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.600 did apparently with this pastor apparently, or the gaps. If there's a thing 168 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:56.240 I can't say, I can't confess this, I can't ask for prayers over 169 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.279 it because I can't talk about it because people will hate me or people will 170 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.679 doubt me. And this is particularly true with pastors. I can't be doubted. 171 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.799 I have to lead the sheep. You could be doubted as a human 172 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.759 being. It doesn't mean God's word is doubted. It means that you're right 173 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.320 now, walk might be doubted. We'll shut up because you got to see 174 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.720 this. As he continues hearing the building, pleasey if you can't see, 175 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:24.440 y'all can stand to your feet. Before I make announcement. I also want 176 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.120 to say that my request to you is that you will continue to come to 177 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.919 church and serve and give for the next you know a little bit, because 178 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.879 I don't want to have I'm taking a little bit of a break and I 179 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.279 don't want to have to worry about the church. My break. Maybe a 180 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.399 few days, a few weeks, I don't know. I got a call 181 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.679 late last night my wife has passed away. Yeah, and it was it 182 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.039 was self induced, and it was up in North Carolina. And we're gonna 183 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.960 have a funeral for her next Sunday here at three pm. And so it's 184 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.000 all I can. Yeah, I'm just kind of going on adrenaline, right 185 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.120 now, so y'all pray for me and my kids and everybody. And she 186 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.639 wasn't you'll knew that she wasn't well mentally, and then she needed medicine that 187 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.360 was hard to get to her. And so I'm sure there'll be more details 188 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.360 to come, but just keep our family in your prayers. And I'm gonna 189 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.799 let Pastor Randall a bishop, he can pray. I get a microphone, 190 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.879 I'll pray out and if you have anything you want to share as well, 191 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:24.600 I appreciate it. The preface to not discuss this, to leave silently and 192 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:30.440 to not discuss it is deeply, deeply bothersome to me because it's offering up 193 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:35.039 a gap. I don't know what happened, and I don't know that anybody 194 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.039 does. But Nianas followed a bit of this and says that the discussion online 195 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.919 is there's a lot of people doubting this pastor stories. That's to correct a 196 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.039 lot of people doubting this pastor's story. And here's one of the reasons why 197 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:52.200 they're doubting this pastor's story. Now, the gap here doesn't appear to be 198 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.200 coming from the wife. This is her nine to one one call. Rblston 199 00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.000 County. Now one one, what's the address of your emergency? Hi? 200 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:06.159 Are you able to trace the location on my phone? For watching the video 201 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.840 service, you can see where she was. You don't know where you're at? 202 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:15.919 A national park? What's the phone NU where you're calling me from? 203 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:26.039 Eight? Four three six five five five two four two? Where's the park 204 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:33.960 located at in Bear Bluff? I have my location on I think on my 205 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:42.480 phone. Find my phone is on listed, my sharelo my location. Okay, 206 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:47.639 I'm showing oh you again. If you're watching the video service, you 207 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.960 can see where she was and sever action. Thank you or Ian Robinson County. 208 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.799 Yeah, lumber the Lumber River State Park, and yeah, that's where 209 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:11.759 I am. Tell me what's happened. I'm about to kill myself and I 210 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:19.880 just want my family to know where to find me. Okay, ma'am, 211 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:25.559 just listen what I'm saying. Okay, let me make sure I got the 212 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:33.319 exact location where you're at. Okay, just one minute. There are people 213 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:40.160 doubting this story, and they're doubting it because she had said many many times, 214 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.519 if something happens to me, it's not me. And yet there's the 215 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:51.079 phone call, the gaps, some of the gaps are in meaning Satan will 216 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:56.839 crawl into that. Some of the gaps are in our response. When somebody 217 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:03.640 is sharing with you hurt and they're sharing with you fear. If they're in 218 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.960 the body of Christ, it's our responsibility to hurt with them, because when 219 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.799 one member of the body hurts, another member is two hurts. If they're 220 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:18.880 human, it's our responsibility to jump into that gap. And if this is 221 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.519 a consistent theme and this person isn't able to change this theme and they're not 222 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.799 able to move away from the circumstance, sometimes it's our job to step in 223 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:32.240 and help them move away from the circumstance. With the increase in teen suicides 224 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:37.039 and suicide attempts, there's clearly this gap, and sometimes with teens it's the 225 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:40.440 gap of not truly being able to share or this and this is much more 226 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.359 modern. There's a new gap in teen lives with the increase in suicides and 227 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.960 psychotropic drugs. And this is the one that deeply, deeply concerns me. 228 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:59.720 It's a gap in horror, it's a gap in being shocked because of the 229 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:06.319 way that we have pathologized children. There is a gap that's being filled with 230 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:14.200 words like depression and anxiety, and add well, these are not satanic. 231 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.759 Sometimes people have these conditions, but Satan is playing in a gap where we 232 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.440 are unable to be shocked. And so I'll tell you what I mean by 233 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:29.240 this. As we talk about this gap theory, the gap in the ability 234 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.839 to be shocked. Anybody who heard this lady say, hey, if I 235 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.000 am killed, it's not me. If I show up dead, I didn't 236 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.680 do it and didn't jump into action, has been maybe desensitized to the need 237 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:48.359 for action. This is particularly true among young people. The pathologizing of young 238 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:53.400 people taking something, for instance, of a going through sadness, going through 239 00:19:53.440 --> 00:20:03.559 depression, struggling with attention issues to is to place meaning on it. You 240 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.519 are depressed, you are anxious, you have an eating disorder. You're not 241 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:14.559 going through one, you have one. And as kids are pathologized, of 242 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:17.960 course lurking in the background, as are dear dear friends at Farmer, ready 243 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:23.119 to jump in and cure them. But it assigns meaning. And I can't 244 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:26.200 tell you how bizarre the nature of this is, but it is true. 245 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:32.359 If you go into any treatment facility with young people, they have contests about 246 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:37.240 who has the most comorbid conditions. Who has the seriousness or the most serious 247 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:42.359 condition. This is the true fact in eating disorder clinics. The people who 248 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:48.200 get tubed are heroic. If you want to be the top echelon of sick, 249 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.440 you get yourself tubed. You refuse to eat That way, you show 250 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:59.319 you are rock solid in terms of your eating disorder. This makes it impossible 251 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.400 for teens to be shocked. Oh my gosh, my friend said she's gonna 252 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.160 kill herself. Oh you two who isn't killing their self? In fact, 253 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.200 I think the schedule for killing selves is full this weekend. Could you move 254 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:11.680 it back? It's like showing up at prom with the same dress. We 255 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:19.480 can't have that. The gap is the emotional response that another human being is 256 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:27.359 considering this, and Satan has jumped into the gap where we would say to 257 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:37.240 somebody, you're experiencing troubles. Jesus warned us, do not be surprised when 258 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.559 fear, when you experience trouble in this land, in this life, do 259 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:42.960 not be experienced. Do not be surprised by that, because it's going to 260 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:48.759 happen. It doesn't mean I'm not walking with you. And understand this. 261 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:53.000 Jesus faced trials too, clearly some of the worst trials that anyone could ever 262 00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:57.960 face. When we don't have that language, that's a massive gap. When 263 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.640 kids don't have that, it's a massive gap. So Satan jumps in and 264 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:07.000 instead of it being trouble something you're going through, it's a condition. This 265 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.559 defines you. It's just like same sex attraction. It's not something you feel, 266 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.799 it's something you are that assigns you meaning, It assigns you identity. 267 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.160 That's a massive, massive gap. We weren't designed for that to be our 268 00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.359 meaning. Our meaning was designed to be people who tend the garden on behalf 269 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:32.440 of God, stewards of creation. We were given dominion over the plants and 270 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:37.440 the animals, and that dominion extends because it's power delegated to us by the 271 00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:42.640 King, by God himself. That's huge meaning that's stolen from you. You 272 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:47.359 get sub meanings, and young people end up saying, how is it that 273 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:48.720 I could have meaning? And there's people who do things like I do. 274 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:53.279 Sometimes people take on meanings saying, well, look, all I do is 275 00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.599 I'm a jock. All I do is I'm a music guy. All I 276 00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.440 do is I'm a YouTuber. Praise God, I don't my meaning into I 277 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:07.279 do a little CrossFit here and there. Young people do not just with CrossFit, 278 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:14.440 but with other areas of gaps. I allowed a massive gap in my 279 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:22.039 daughter's life. Huge mistake when my daughter began to tell me that she would 280 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.160 not be happy until she weighed a very specific weight. I'll never forget the 281 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:29.720 conversation. I can picture it to this moment. I can even remember the 282 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.680 spell of the room because we didn't have the oxy leaf too. I can 283 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.599 remember my daughter saying, Dad, I won't be happy until I weigh eighty 284 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:41.480 pounds. Stupidly, I said, honey, you know you're never going to 285 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:49.119 weigh eighty pounds again, stupid idiot. I opened a massive gap instead of 286 00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.200 stepping into the gap and saying, wow, that's an interesting number. Tell 287 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:59.160 me about that. Why eighty? Why not eighty four? And this is 288 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.559 this you believe? Make your happy? Can you and I do something together? 289 00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.640 Could we pull up on God's word and see what he says about happiness 290 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:10.119 and satisfaction? In fact, let's go look at what God says about love, 291 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:11.880 because it doesn't sound like you're loving yourself. Can we find that in 292 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.480 the Bible together? That was a massive gap. So I relied on my 293 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.480 own intelligence, just telling her bluntly, well that's never gonna happen. And 294 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.319 you're beautiful now, and you're great now, and you're perfect now, and 295 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.640 plus you're athletic. I mean, you've got more muscle mass than other girls 296 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:29.839 because you're a speed skin What an idiot, an absolute buffoon. Hey, 297 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.720 you've got more muscle mass. Girl confroned about your gross weight gap. I 298 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:38.279 had a gap in my head. Relying on my own wisdom. I made 299 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.240 my daughter more sad rather than trying to you know, I was trying to 300 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.599 help massive, massive gap. Yeah, I've taken that to the cross. 301 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:56.839 It was not empathy, it was convincing. It was trying to take my 302 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.599 will and substitute it for her lack of will. How could she have will 303 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:07.160 as a kid at that level? And of course there are media entities ready 304 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.400 to jump into this and provide meeting. This is simply a news report from 305 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.359 PBS. But look at the way the news report is cast. If you're 306 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.720 watching the video service, look at the little text over behind the kind anchor 307 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:23.920 lady's head. A federal appeals court issued to groundbreaking ruling last night ensuring that 308 00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:30.920 gender affirming surgery is covered by state run health insurance programs. Stephanie Saie has 309 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:36.079 that report. It says behind her trans in America, fake meaning of a 310 00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:41.720 fake condition, describing fake care, and a whole bunch of people behind this 311 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:47.920 and this is now their meaning. I defend so called trans people OMNA. 312 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.880 This decision centered around two lawsuits with trans people in West Virginia and North Carolina 313 00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:59.519 suing to secure insurance coverage for gender or firming care such as hormone therapy, 314 00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:04.119 and the Federal Appellate Court in Richmond, split eight to six, ordered that 315 00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:11.599 the state healthcare plans quote reinstate coverage for medically necessary services for the treatment of 316 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:18.599 gender dysphoria. The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics wrote briefs 317 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.039 in support of the trans plaintiffs. It is a win for the trans community, 318 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.640 but it may not be the final word on the issue. For more 319 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.400 on all of this, I'm joined by NPR Selena Simmons Duffin, who covers 320 00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.359 health policy for NPR. Selena, it's good to see you on that. 321 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.200 I bet she's going to come in and say, here's what the opponents say, 322 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.200 this is what the people who created the bill to stop these things. 323 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.160 Here's what they say. I bet she's going to provide that point of view. 324 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.799 Use our So as you know, there are numerous court cases around the 325 00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:52.279 country about transgender rights and access to gender affirm and care. How significant was 326 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.680 this ruling and what are the big takeaways to you? How significant is the 327 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:03.640 ruling? The discussion is cast to say how big a victory is this for 328 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:10.920 these people who have their meaning in this. Satan jumps into the gap. 329 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.559 The media jumps with Satan. Here's the meaning of this. You are trans. 330 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:19.000 You're not a kid, you're not going through pain, you're not questioning 331 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:23.119 your gender. You are trans. Congratulations, there's your meaning. That gap 332 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:29.200 is filled. What does this mean, Well, it means a great victory 333 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:32.640 for justice. Boom, your meaning? Your gap is filled. Hey, 334 00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:34.279 I've burned a bunch of police cars in Portland. It was a preemptive strike 335 00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:38.000 because they were getting ready to kill Palestinians. Boom, You've got your meaning, 336 00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:41.880 But you have those satisfaction you have nothing that can last. You have 337 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.559 no joy, you have dopamine hits, or in this case, you have 338 00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:51.799 a false sense of self. These gaps multiply sometimes in those interpersonal relationships, 339 00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.720 the inability to be shocked what. I have a friend who says they're going 340 00:27:53.759 --> 00:28:00.680 to try to kill themselves because it's become passe, it's become something people here 341 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:04.799 every day. There's a book called The Alpha Female's Guide to Men and Marriage. 342 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:10.039 Joy Pullman is the executive editor of The Federalists. You described herself as 343 00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.799 a happy wife and the mother of six children, and by the way, 344 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.160 also an executive editor. So she's clearly not a woman who says that women 345 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:21.880 shouldn't work. She is working. But she gives this book to her friends, 346 00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.799 her female friends in particular, And I want you to hear why, 347 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:30.160 because it contains meaning, as she sees it, meaning important for others. 348 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.440 The conversation with my wife and mother, well she's not my mother, but 349 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:38.119 she's my daughter's mother. Obviously my wife. She started to use my native 350 00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:44.880 path krill, and this thrills me, absolutely thrills me. She's also recommending 351 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.799 it to her mom. We have a lot of relatives in our lives who 352 00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.559 are smacking down ibiprofen. Ask around. In fact, you know what, 353 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.119 this just occurred to me. I was at a track meet a couple weeks 354 00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.480 ago. And it was talking to some young guys. I know some of 355 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:02.880 these young men and were just now just I seem as men because I matured 356 00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:07.240 to such a level. And I overheard a conversation between two teen athletes I'm 357 00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:12.000 guessing they were seniors and what is the sertuskips? Could doude you got any 358 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.680 ivy? They god? Oh, no, a drug deal. I don't 359 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.759 want to hear this. And it was iberprofen. Hey hold on, And 360 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.880 I asked one of the kids. I know, one of the young men. 361 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:23.599 I said, Hey, how much hyberprofen did people take? He goes, 362 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:27.720 Oh, people take iboprophone all the time. Everybody's got some. Sounds 363 00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.799 like a van handshung. Everybody's got some or everybody wants some. Yeah, 364 00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:36.720 I want some too, David the Roth. So these kids seventeen and eighteen 365 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:38.559 are snacking on iberprofen. I don't know about you. I never took that 366 00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.839 stuff on us. I had a fever, although recently in the past few 367 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:48.119 years have been eating four iberprofen every single night almost not that's not quite true, 368 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.680 but often maybe three four days a week when I worked out hard because 369 00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:56.880 I was so sore. Then I learned that iyberprofen actually causes inflammation. It 370 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.759 masks the symptoms and it causes more inflammation. That's a neat tre Farmers really 371 00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.680 good at what they do. It destroys your gut lining. When that happens, 372 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.799 there are things that should they get into your body, particulates that shouldn't 373 00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.200 be there, and that causes inflammation. And I take it omega threes before. 374 00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.319 I mean, I work out all the time. I'm kind of a 375 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:18.119 health nut. Of course I've taken them, but it never had krill. 376 00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:26.079 Native pathkrill is fifty percent more absorbable than fish based omega threes. In the 377 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.319 case of native pathcrill, it is from the waters of the Antarctic, the 378 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.279 cleanest waters in the ocean, and that means it doesn't have things like mercury, 379 00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:38.440 heavy metals, et cetera. In this it's not just inflammation. This 380 00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:44.839 helps fight It's six thousand times more powerful than vitamin C, one hundred times 381 00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.759 more powerful than vitamin E, five times more powerful than beta keroteene, and 382 00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:55.880 it's eight times more bioavailable in your body and fifty percent more absorbable. Here's 383 00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:02.279 what's happened. I don't need iboprofen doesn't matter how much I work out. 384 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:03.880 Be it one of my big twelve hour days next weekend, by the way, 385 00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:08.559 sixteen, or if it's a really really difficult one or two hour workout, 386 00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:14.559 or maybe just a CrossFit blast thirty minute blowout, you don't need it 387 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:21.480 either. Go to nativepathcrill dot com slash todd. That's nativepathcrill dot com slash 388 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:25.240 todd and replace the iberprofen in your life. And by the way, ask 389 00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:30.640 your friends if they're snacking an iberprofen and you've got kids in track, I 390 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.160 think they're snacking an ibprophone. In fact, I know they are nativepathcrill dot 391 00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:41.119 com slash todd. Joypullman gives her female friends a book called The Alpha Female's 392 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.839 Guide to Men in Marriage, and this is what she writes in The Federalist 393 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:49.839 about the book. Her overwhelming theme is simple, be happy. Women have 394 00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:55.319 to do just about the opposite of what secularized Western culture tells them. This 395 00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:59.119 theme builds on other how to books like Suzanna's written, including The Alpha Female's 396 00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.240 Guide to Me in Marriage, which I buy for friends and their wedding showers. 397 00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:08.000 One of our most controversial and internal viral stances or primary Internet viral stances 398 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:14.440 has been to explain why daycare damage is children, something about which most millennial 399 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:19.039 and Gen Z women know nothing. They've been told daycares good for babies and 400 00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.440 toddlers, that it helps them get ready for school and to socialize and to 401 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.559 give mom a break. They haven't been told that daycare is just about the 402 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:34.279 worst childcare environment possible because it's chaotic and overstimulating, prompting promoting, prompting chronic 403 00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:39.319 corticol stress surges that can tend small children towards anxious, moody and being sick 404 00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:43.039 for the rest of their lives. When Mama needs a break in few hours 405 00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.519 at home with a babysitter, even better if it's a dad or another family 406 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:51.039 member, are far better. Now there are people who have to do daycare. 407 00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:54.720 I know this. I've talked to young friends who are great parents and 408 00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:59.400 they love their kids, and their kids seem well, and they use daycare 409 00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:01.640 sometimes is a last resort, and every time they talk to me about it, 410 00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:06.000 that go, dude, I hate dropping my kid off. There were 411 00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:08.400 really trying not to do it. Thank God that people are revealing this and 412 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:14.480 yes there is this research researchers. She writes, are looking at tons of 413 00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:19.079 things to pinpoint causes of skyrocketing youth anxiety and depression, from social media to 414 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.359 COVID nineteen to sexual orientation, to puberty and peer pressure. What hardly anyone 415 00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:28.200 has done is investigate further the research indicated link between long term nonparent care and 416 00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:32.200 lifelong chronic anxiety and agitation. What does it mean to swim against the cultural 417 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:37.599 Curren Suzanne says. She lays it out in her chapter titles Live and Examined 418 00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:42.759 Life. Prioritize marriage and family of her career, unleash your feminine power, 419 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.319 date with purpose, don't have babies who are not stay home with them just 420 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.839 because you're in debt, Change your definition of work, life balance, Learn 421 00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:52.119 the truth about daycare that no one ever told you. And love your life, 422 00:33:52.160 --> 00:34:00.799 not theirs. This meaning for moms and parents, there's sometimes a gap. 423 00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:05.559 Was talking to a young woman the other day, she's gonna have her 424 00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.480 first child. God bless them. They don't know the Lord. They are 425 00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:15.400 fantastic people. They are smart, and they are caring, and they do 426 00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:21.519 great work in people's lives. And I simply said, man, what's that 427 00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:23.679 going to be like? To stay home and raise a baby, she doesn't 428 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:28.800 have to work. She goes, Oh, that's never happening. Ever, 429 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:37.599 Oh no, I'm gonna say flat out that my job is to go back 430 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.760 to work as soon as possible, and my kids and I are going to 431 00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:47.599 have an understanding. There's mom time and then there's me time. I don't 432 00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:52.960 have permission to speak into this lady's life. I don't have that sort of 433 00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:59.280 emotional permission. This is someone I barely know. It's a professional relationship, 434 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:04.639 period. Am I worried? Yeah? I mean I guess I can give 435 00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:09.920 a baby shower gift. Right. The meaning of parents is, yes, 436 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.679 prioritize your marriage because it is the environment in which your kids swim. It 437 00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:22.599 is their oxygen, it is their emotional oxygen. It is what God tells 438 00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:29.679 us to prioritize first. And then the meaning of parents is sometimes to sacrifice. 439 00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.480 And it's that meaning, it's that mission, it's that gap that if 440 00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:38.679 you don't fill, other people will fill. And in this environment, it's 441 00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:45.440 not just PBS, it's not just Netflix that's gonna feel this. There are 442 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:51.480 people who are targeting kids whose parents are not making the sacrifice. I'm not 443 00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:57.639 talking about groomers and pedophiles, although they too. I am talking about people 444 00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:01.679 who have gaps in their lives, like this counselor at Lakes Middle School in 445 00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:07.960 Curling, Idaho, who apparently goes around trans and kids. That's her meaning. 446 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:12.800 There was some gap in her life. She sees a girl who's deeply 447 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:16.559 depressed, who has probably a whole host of mental issues, that girl herself 448 00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:21.480 having been adopted, which for many many people is deeply painful if it's not 449 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:24.000 dealt with properly. She sees that and jumps in and says, hey, 450 00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:28.039 I'm going to give you meaning. You're a boy. I'm going to jump 451 00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:30.639 into that gap. Satan's behind all of this. Hey, look, you're 452 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:32.639 a boy. That's why you're sad. Forget your depression and your anxiety. 453 00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:37.440 Forget the fact that you are now going through puberty, which whacks everybody out. 454 00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.000 Forget all that you're a boy. There's your meaning. Now fight for 455 00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:43.320 that. Then get into this fight with your mom. Your meaning is to 456 00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:47.960 fight with your mom. Those people lurk and wait for parents who leave gaps 457 00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:52.039 in kids' lives to jump in, just like Johnny Pervert waits at the mall 458 00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:55.880 to see, Hey, which kids don't have friends, which girl doesn't feel 459 00:36:55.880 --> 00:37:00.559 good about the way she looks. This is the way pimps operates. Who's 460 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.840 the teen girl who doesn't like the way she looks? I'll go cozy up 461 00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:06.199 to her. I think you're beautiful. I don't know if people can't see 462 00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:08.559 this by the way, you're wise beyond your years. It's the oldest game 463 00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:15.760 in pimptum, and now medical professionals and counselors are playing this because there's been 464 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:20.079 a gap left in their lives, so they pathologize. It's all the things 465 00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:28.679 we're talking about. Kids hurt, young people hurt because of gaps. I 466 00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:35.840 beg you to jump into the gaps in people's lives, your kids first and 467 00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.800 foremost, your marriage first and foremost. Where there's gaps in your marriage, 468 00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:44.400 time together, respect for one another, you've probably changed. I'm gonna guess 469 00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:49.000 if you got married at the age of twenty one and you're forty, I'm 470 00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:51.679 gonna bet you've changed. Have you guys checked in with each other to see, 471 00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:54.320 Hey, how have we changed? How are we different people? How 472 00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:57.880 do we need to be nurtured in ways that we didn't need to be nurtured 473 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.440 before. What are the things that interest us that didn't before. What are 474 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.519 needs that we have that we didn't have before? Have you checked in on 475 00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:08.079 that or are you letting a gap run that stuff? Because if gaps run 476 00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:13.440 at good luck, you're gonna end up with a sick marriage. And yeah, 477 00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:15.840 there are people looking out there who want to jump into those gaps too, 478 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:23.039 grooming like you bet there are. There's a massive, massive gap in 479 00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:30.960 meaning and this affects young people globally, and just as I just described with 480 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:35.639 this family circumstance and these not I don't think they're well meaning. I'm sure 481 00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.199 this lady thinks she's an angel of light. I don't think she is. 482 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:40.239 I think she's operating on behalf of the fake angel of light and she doesn't 483 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:47.760 know that. Globally there's a mass lack of meaning and there are organizations who 484 00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:53.880 jump into this. One of the greatest indicators of lack of meaning in history 485 00:38:54.400 --> 00:39:00.199 was mask copying, when you saw people suddenly turn in mask cops. Up 486 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:05.679 to and including there's a case in Seattle at a hardware store where a hardware 487 00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:12.119 store employee beat a guy with a pipe because with a big metal pipe because 488 00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:15.960 dude wasn't wearing a mask. He beat him. He's I'm not saying minimum 489 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.639 wage is bad. Everybody starts somewhere, but a minimum wage employee says, 490 00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.400 you're not coming into this hardware store. I'm gonna beat you with a pipe. 491 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.880 You're not wearing a mask. It was a massive assignation of meaning. 492 00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:31.280 There's a priest who reminds us. There's a priest reminds us about how meaning 493 00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:36.880 can be taken from us under Angel of light metaphors. I want to share 494 00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.880 that with you in a second. Man, I am getting more and more 495 00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:44.360 jazz about this trip to Mexico. We've got a bunch of people now signed 496 00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:50.440 up. We have a room for fifteen couples or thirty individuals. Here's why 497 00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:53.000 the woman it is not to be elitist. It's really not. This is 498 00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:59.480 a wellction, and it starts with the decision to use renew Wealthcare or renew 499 00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:05.400 Health to do things like this. If you have chronic lower lumbar pain and 500 00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.920 people saying you gotta get surgery, please, I beg you go to renew 501 00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:15.159 location dot com and contact them, let them see your mriz. Their medical 502 00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.800 professionals. The two doctors I work with are Harvard certified back when Harvard meant 503 00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.239 something. By the way, let them look at that. They may be 504 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:30.199 able to address this with ethically harvested stem cells from placentas and umbilical cords, 505 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:34.880 not the other kinds. Okay, these are not exposed to the modified RNA 506 00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:42.039 injections. Those cells have no purpose assigned to them. They assign themselves a 507 00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:45.079 purpose when they get into your body. And in my case, it was 508 00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.800 a Harvard certified surgeon who put forty two million of those cells into my shoulder 509 00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:53.239 capsule, and my shoulder has recovered absolutely brutly twenty maybe even one hundred times 510 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:58.199 better than the other one. If you have arthritis, same thing. Tell 511 00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:01.679 them about your condition. If you have just generalized muscle pain, tell them 512 00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:06.559 about that. If you're facing soldier surgery or recovering from surgery, tell them 513 00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:08.599 about that. They can speed the recovery. They did it for me. 514 00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:16.079 They've even worked with radically difficults neurological conditions, like a woman who was hemispherically 515 00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:21.800 paralyzed. She came in on a wheelchair. The doctors had told her, 516 00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:24.679 get ready to change your house because you're never gonna walk again. So by 517 00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:30.199 a one story house. She said, no, I'm going to Renew Healthcare. 518 00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:34.599 So go to renew wecation dot com. Start that process.

Renew location dot com. Bishop Baron describes 541 00:42:53.960 --> 00:43:01.079 something in the way of perloined, meaning it is the dictatorship of something, 542 00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:07.719 and it's something that the pulp perhaps the last Christian Pope, our Catholic pope, 543 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:09.559 said, although I trust that the Catholic Church, the Lord will write 544 00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:13.599 it, I trust that there will one day be another Christian Pope. One 545 00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:17.360 of the most conspicuous consequences of the collapse of institutional religion is what Joseph Ratzinger 546 00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:22.639 Pope been in at the sixteenth called famously the dictatorship of relativism, or the 547 00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:29.719 conviction that there's no objective ground for morality and certainly no summum bonum which would 548 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:35.159 serve to regulate human thought and activity. Instead of imitating and incorporating the great 549 00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:38.440 objective values, I now create them out of the sovereignty of my own will. 550 00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:44.480 Again, that lockey in overtones the nature of the will that isn't lured 551 00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:50.199 by the good outside of itself, but terminates in its own activity, triminates 552 00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:54.920 in its own activity, the creation of meaning from our own will. Except 553 00:43:54.960 --> 00:44:05.000 it's not meaning. He's talking about the dictatorship of realgelativism as meaning. Relativism 554 00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:10.840 has no meaning because all things are relative. It's just like postmodernists who say, 555 00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:16.199 here's a fact, nothing is true. You can't have meaning in that 556 00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:22.039 when your meaning is your feelings. I am same sex attracted, No, 557 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:28.639 you're gay. Your feelings ebb and flow, So therefore your meaning ebbs and 558 00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:34.360 flows. When you're assigned an identity like oh, you're confused about your gender. 559 00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:36.679 No, no, no, no, you're trans boom stops there. 560 00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:42.320 As you age and you mature, what does that meaning do? It rots? 561 00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:49.039 In so many people? It rots because as they inexorably face God's maturation 562 00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:51.800 process. They look back and say, wait a minute, this was never 563 00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.440 me. That's right, because it was never your meaning. It's in these 564 00:44:54.480 --> 00:45:01.000 gaps at Satan place. And I beg anybody listening to this to make sure 565 00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:07.960 that you leap both feet into the gaps first of all, at home with 566 00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:12.119 your marriage, with your kids. Leap into this with other people's kids, 567 00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:17.320 because get this, they're going to be the people with whom your kids interact. 568 00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:23.159 And with young people raising kids. I get it. Sometimes daycare is 569 00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:28.679 necessary. But as we're hearing now in the chat room, Dee Craigs, 570 00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:31.199 I would ask anyone considering having kids, why have them if you're not willing 571 00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:34.920 to raise them. My wife and I made the decision for her to quit 572 00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:38.079 her job to follow God's plan for our family. Richly blessed us. John 573 00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:42.519 Caldwell is same with wife left work force to focus on the family. My 574 00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:49.480 wife stayed home and raised our daughter and quit being a teacher. So there 575 00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:52.840 are people who do that. There are also people who, sometimes to circumstances 576 00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:55.639 that arise after marriage, are going to have to drop kids into daycare. 577 00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:00.800 Let's not let's not jump into that. As are meaning to it now if 578 00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:04.679 it's a convenience thing like this other lady I was talking about, Oh yeah, 579 00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:07.000 there's mom time and there's me time. Though there's not. That's an 580 00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:13.239 absence of meaning. It's a gap. There are young people right now in 581 00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:17.199 your town and in your church, and there's massive gaps. Their parents don't 582 00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:22.840 have time for them, they don't have concern about them. They're not going 583 00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:28.079 to show up for their sporting events because they're busy, they're not emotionally available. 584 00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:31.519 I'm not saying they're bad people. I'm saying these are circumstances. If 585 00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:37.320 you want to save America, jump into the gaps. Saving America is a 586 00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:42.239 consolation prize. I think if you do this on a Christian basis, you 587 00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:46.119 can also let God work through you to save souls. And that's our ultimate 588 00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:53.599 meaning. Don't let the gaps become eternal, because the worst gap ever is 589 00:46:53.719 --> 00:47:00.320 an eternal gap between you and God or your children. God. Don't let 590 00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:06.440 that gap happen because after a time, it will be an eternal choice. 591 00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:09.039 This is the Todd Herman Show. Please go, be well, be strong, 592 00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:13.000 be kind, and make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
