1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,839 Speaker 1: Hey, I'm gonna put my headphones on, and I didn't know. 2 00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:06,639 I wasn't really napping. I actually was reading welcome, appreciates you. 3 00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:12,560 There is a big, big change happening in culture related 4 00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:17,079 to young men leaving churches like the North American Anglican Church, 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,160 which is far more conservative than the European flavor that 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,160 which is completely lost. People leaving, of course, the Methodist Church, 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,519 half of which has gone completely anti biblical, even leaving decent, 8 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,960 fairly biblically strict Lutheran churches, and they're leaving to go 9 00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:42,039 to Orthodox Christianity. And this is where the pastors or 10 00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,960 priests were robes, where there is a homily. It feels 11 00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:48,880 much more Catholic. It's not, but it feels much more Catholic. 12 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,280 The services feature different pastors all the time. There's not 13 00:00:54,359 --> 00:00:59,200 a focus on one pastor. This is being explained as 14 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,879 young men seeking a masculine church. Okay, but I don't 15 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:08,200 think that's it. I think it's far more clear what 16 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,040 it is. And if it's written about by the secular press, 17 00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:13,799 of course they need to make it something like it's 18 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,719 more masculine. We'll talk about that. We do need to 19 00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:19,920 talk about what's going on with Ethan Haim, the whistleblowing 20 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,120 surgeon out of Texas because Joe biden so called Department 21 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,719 of Justice is making their third attempt to put him 22 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000 in prison for whistle blowing on his hospital who behind 23 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:43,359 the scenes was still carrying out surgeries and hormonal well treatments. 24 00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:48,640 They're not treatments on kids. We'll talk about this with 25 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,760 the help of our free speech platform, the Todd Herman 26 00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:54,159 Show that substack dot com and with God Almighty. 27 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: But Todd Herman's show is disapproved by big pharma technocrats 28 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:08,919 in Tyrne's everywhere from the high mountains of Free America. 29 00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:15,800 Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 30 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,879 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made and these 31 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,759 are the times, sirs, God has decided if we shall live. 32 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,240 So Ethan Haim, you know him. He's a surgeon who 33 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,400 blew the whistle on his hospital in Texas that was 34 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:39,840 continuing to carry out these wrong sex hormones and wrong 35 00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:42,840 sex surgeries. They said that they weren't going to do this, 36 00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:46,560 and they did it, and he caught them, and without 37 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:50,879 sharing the name of any patients or any families, he 38 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,919 gave that information to Christopher Rufo the journalists originally now 39 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,039 I don't know it originally, but worked out of Seattle 40 00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:00,319 for a long time. Now, of course, very famous Resident 41 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:03,919 Trump has brought him in to help clear out DEI, etc. 42 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:09,039 From the military and other federal institutions. So the Department 43 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,879 of Justice went in front of the judge in this case, 44 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,639 and they had a very serious issue to bring up 45 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,599 with this judge. It happens that Ethan Haim was on 46 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:27,960 Twitter sharing his opinion of the DOJ. He said some 47 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:35,039 mean things. He said they were incompetent. Well, they had 48 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,080 filed the brief that contains material and important spelling errors. Whoops. 49 00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:47,680 They had a prosecutor attached to the case who knew 50 00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:52,080 she had a conflict. Her family's company has major business 51 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,759 dealings with this hospital. They have helped raise funds for 52 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,680 this hospital, and yet she decided to try to destroy 53 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,800 Ethan Ham no doubt on behalf of this hospital as 54 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:09,919 launder through the Department of Justice. She has since stepped 55 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,519 off the case. Ethan Ham meanly pointed this out mean tweets. 56 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:25,279 He also had the temerity, the audacity, the daring to 57 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,000 write on Twitter the fact that the Department of Justice 58 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,879 had in one of their grand jury. They're going on 59 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:37,920 three attempts to destroy this man. One of the grand 60 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:46,439 jury presentations contained a lie. So the Department of Justice 61 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,319 so called, came back and said, oh, well, we didn't 62 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,600 know it was a lie. That was their excuse. Because 63 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,120 he's been pointing these things out. The Department of Justice says, 64 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,120 this is very, very dangerous, and it's very disturbing, and 65 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,000 it's very hurtful to the career public servants who work 66 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,360 at the DOJ. They shouldn't have criticism because if they 67 00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:17,720 get criticized, people will kill them or something. So they 68 00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:20,240 went in front of the judge, and the judge looked 69 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,240 at their gag order. They wanted Ethan Haim banned from 70 00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:30,199 certain behaviors, certain forms of communication. They weren't all that 71 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,680 clear what they were, but they just gave some examples 72 00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:38,079 in future such things. Because you can't have an American 73 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,680 citizen criticizing its government when he's on trial by that government. 74 00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:49,600 That's very dangerous. The judge did not agree to impose 75 00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:53,199 the gag order, which would appear to be good news 76 00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:00,920 right sapped. He left it open. He didn't deny it, 77 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,680 he didn't approve it. It's hanging like the proverbial sword, 78 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:16,040 the Democlean sword over the head of Ethan Ham. So 79 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,000 anytime they want to or the judge shoes is he 80 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,120 can say, yeah, you remember that gag order. He also 81 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,639 said to Ethan Haim, We're gonna be watching you make 82 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,879 sure that you don't step a foul of these guidelines. 83 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Which guidelines. Well, you know his wife is a mother 84 00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:44,319 and a lawyer, and she had a response to this, 85 00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:46,839 and I love this response. I'll share with this with 86 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,920 you in just a second. I was getting out of 87 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:52,040 the truck. This morning is walking in here to come 88 00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:53,519 to the city. This is a morning where I get 89 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,480 in pretty rushed because I've got my discipleship group beforehand, 90 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,560 and I thought about bringing up my bottles Bioptimized product, 91 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,480 but I realize what I have in the truck right 92 00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:05,000 now are the mass Seams product and the p thrie 93 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:07,720 O WHIM products. The mass Seams helps you put on 94 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,480 more amino acids in your body, or twelve hundred percent 95 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,000 more amino acids. P thriell M is an advanced probiotic 96 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,160 helps you digest foods more efficiently. So we've been talking 97 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:19,399 about another product that I do not have in the 98 00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:21,519 truck right now. I keep this at home. I do 99 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,720 have it in the truck during the weekdays, but I 100 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,560 ran out and it's called magnesium Breakthrough. So the reason 101 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,680 I keep that product in the truck during weekdays is 102 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,279 on a late night, like tonight will be a very 103 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,360 late night. We've got our life group meeting tonight, so 104 00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:36,160 I get home and extraordinarily late. I like to take 105 00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,399 a couple of those tablets on the way home because 106 00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:41,480 they're not sleeping pills, but they help me relax and 107 00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:44,879 get ready for sleep. There is a thing that happens 108 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,720 during the holidays where I think you might want to 109 00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:48,319 get some of these and keep them in your carga 110 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:49,720 And it doesn't put you to sleep, it helps you 111 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,959 relax and in my case, relax into sleep. Magnesium Breakthrough 112 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,680 is a way to manage stress during the holidays, along 113 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,959 with exercise and prayer and trying to level set your mind. 114 00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:03,199 Let's not seek the approval of man, but because it's 115 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:07,360 a full spectrum magnesium supplement with seven forms of organic magnesium, 116 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,519 it helps control the stress hormone cortisol. So if you 117 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,639 get stressed out during the holidays, and you know who 118 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,560 you are go to boptemizers dot com slash Todd use 119 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,079 promo code Todd to save an extra ten percent on 120 00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:24,800 magnesium breakthrough. That's baptimizers dot com slash Todd promo code Todd. 121 00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:28,920 So the judge has effectively come out and said there 122 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:32,919 may not be a gag order, but somebody been watching you, 123 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,120 and maybe I'll just put you in prison for just 124 00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:40,840 a little while because you've said some mean things. His 125 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,840 wife decided to approach this. Her name is well, her 126 00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:49,039 name is his wife. And if I could ever get 127 00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:53,360 my computer to proper with me Andrea Ham, she wrote this, 128 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,679 my husband, Ethan Haim's First Amendment rights may be under 129 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,960 attack by a de facto gag order, but mine or not. 130 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,200 On December third, the judge threatened Ethan with federal prison 131 00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:05,720 and his attorneys with sanctions if they continue to post 132 00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:09,559 so called inflammatory content on x dash Twitter about the 133 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,080 DJ's corruption. In this case, he didn't grant or deny 134 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,080 the gag order, but kept the government's motion live pending 135 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,320 trial in February. This is arguably worse and serves two purposes. 136 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:24,679 The court's instructions were to avoid similar conduct. Leaves unclear 137 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,960 what kind of speech represents a violation, presumably that which 138 00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:32,240 the DJ doesn't like see below, and what the consequences 139 00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:35,200 would be in positions of a gag order merely being 140 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:37,879 one of them. By leaving the matter undecided, the court 141 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,120 is shielded from public criticism and appellate review, where it 142 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,399 would likely be overturned as unconstitutional in the Fifth Circuit. 143 00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,240 As a result of this non gag order gag order, 144 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:50,039 the onus is on the defense to muzzle themselves. It's 145 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,000 an unconstitutional prioristraint of someone who needs free speech the most, 146 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,200 the criminal defendant, David facing a corrupt government goliath. I 147 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,399 was not planning and speaking publicly about the this case. 148 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,960 I'm a private person and I don't really use social media. 149 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,360 But Ethan's exposts have been the only way he's been 150 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,440 able to raise funds for a legal defense and expose 151 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,440 the DJs blatant corruption over the last year and a half. 152 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,120 As a wife an attorney, I can't sit by while 153 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,320 they extinguish the light he's shone on this case, particularly 154 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,080 as newly unsealed evidence proves this case was malicious all along. 155 00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:24,639 More on that later. This from the judge. If similar 156 00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:27,320 conduct continues to arise in this case. After this hearing, 157 00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:29,679 I will not hesitate to reconsider the issuing of a 158 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,799 gag order such an order, should such an order become necessary. 159 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,360 Any violation by an attorney may result in sanctions and 160 00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:39,600 or a formal written order of sanctions from this Court. Furthermore, 161 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,240 any violation of this order by the defendant himself could 162 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,120 lead to the revocation of his bond and immediate custody 163 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:49,799 sending to the Federal Jailhouse, the Federal Detention Center. Just 164 00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:53,360 pause for a second. If you say mean things on Twitter, 165 00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:56,519 We're going to put you in a federal prison. This 166 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,960 judge is not a judge. This judge is a tyrant. 167 00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:05,919 Period as background, she continues, Ethan is the whistleblower who 168 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,080 exposed in a report with real Chris Rufo that Texas 169 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,279 Children's Hospital was lying to the public about the existence 170 00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:15,519 of it so called transgender program for children. They were 171 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,080 implanting puberty blockers on kids as young as eleven and 172 00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:21,759 hiding it from the public. He's currently facing four felony 173 00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:25,559 charges on made up baseless hip, a theory. The DJ's 174 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,360 case is falling apart for both legal and non legal reasons. 175 00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:32,559 Everyone should read this excellent artor from Tom Bartlett's at 176 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,960 the Free Press. It is a good article. Those reporting 177 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,279 reallycaptures what this case is about and what has been 178 00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:40,600 like to live with. Since January twenty twenty four, Ethan 179 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,159 has been vocal on X about the corruption we've experienced 180 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:44,759 since the government first showed up at her home in 181 00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:47,960 twenty twenty three. Remember this, as I recalled, they rolled 182 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,480 heavy to his house, you know, armed agents and such, 183 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,399 because he might pop out of that house and start 184 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,360 performing surgery on them, because he's a very, very dangerous surgeon. 185 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,879 Most recently, she writes, he's been posting about the prosecutor's 186 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:06,240 failure failures, using screenshots of public motions and transcripts, including 187 00:12:06,279 --> 00:12:09,759 emotion to dismiss hearing where they really embarrassed themselves. He 188 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,639 posted about serious financial and personal conflicts held by the 189 00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:16,720 former lead prosecutor, Tina I'm sorry. His lawyers at Burke 190 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:19,279 Law Group have been vigorously defending his First Amendment rights 191 00:12:19,399 --> 00:12:21,120 and their opposition to the gag order. They called it 192 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,879 the culmination of an abusive and incompetent prosecution and a 193 00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:27,120 bad faith attempt to shield the prosecutors from mounting criticism 194 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,679 and not the bee represented by P and J. Bahn 195 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,600 or panajem is It also law firm also sought to 196 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,960 intervene in this case, recognizing the serious first emission issues 197 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,519 at stake, but the judge denied their motions. So what 198 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,000 this is really all about is that the government cannot 199 00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:49,039 have people questioning their power the orthodoxy of the so 200 00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:54,120 called transgender treatments. Again, so called treatments. Ethan Haym didn't 201 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:56,519 share the names of any patients. He didn't share the 202 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,120 names of any families at no time that roof will 203 00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:04,120 have access to this. They simply proved that Texas Children's Hospital, 204 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,639 like every other it seems children's hospital in this country 205 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,600 is completely bought and paid for. In tomorrow's sub stack 206 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,360 you can get the Todd Herman show of that substack 207 00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:18,120 dot com. I'm going to explain why you and I 208 00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:23,200 need to remember something in the American medical system, the 209 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:28,720 American pharmacy system, pharmaceutical system, the American surgical system. We 210 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,039 are not patients. We are products. They're getting in the 211 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,679 way of productizing teen depression and teen anxiety. Ethan Haim 212 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,279 is getting in the way of a massive vertical they're 213 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,759 building of kids who become adults and are one hundred 214 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,080 percent reliant on pharma for the rest of their lives 215 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:59,120 to maintain the illusion of a fake identity. They're also 216 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:06,879 adults a massive vertical who've been convinced that pharma is 217 00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:10,399 how they become their unique selves. That's how they live 218 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,159 their true lives. We must understand something and be wide eyed, 219 00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:18,720 and we must be clearheaded. I'm a big fan of 220 00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,600 what Elon Musk is doing with cutting government spending and abuse. 221 00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:26,320 I'm a big fan of the Department of Government efficiency. 222 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,480 But let's please be wide eyed about something. Please understand. 223 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,360 Elon Musk says he lost his son to what he 224 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:39,399 calls the transcult. That's a phrase I endorse. And he 225 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:47,279 also wants computer chips in your brain. He's started by 226 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:50,600 installing computer chips in the brains of people who need 227 00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:54,679 them to be able to move to overcome paralysis. That 228 00:14:54,759 --> 00:15:01,200 can be miraculous. Watch as that metastasizes. Watch as an 229 00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:07,080 entire vertical created by pharma and academia and the Mockingbird media. 230 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:13,519 An entire vertical of people whose illusion of self is 231 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:18,840 made possible through pharma are offered the opportunity to be 232 00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:23,399 further augmented with computer ships in their brains, they could 233 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,879 just instantly have access to languages, math knowledge. You no 234 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,320 longer need to go to your phone to ask a 235 00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:36,080 question how to concern? How do I convert pints to pounds? 236 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,200 Be wide eyed. The enemy is going to use any 237 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,960 means necessary to get into our bodies. You know why, right, 238 00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:53,799 He needs to separate us from God in any means 239 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,840 he can. Pornography in the minds of young men is 240 00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:02,000 a mental virus. It is a spirit virus. It puts 241 00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:07,000 into their minds beliefs and pleasure pathways in regard to 242 00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:12,000 sexual activity that stands adverse to God. And it is addictive. 243 00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:20,039 If every I don't know, night, morning, day, you use pornography, 244 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,799 and you know what I mean by using it, you 245 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,080 are giving yourself endorphin hits. When those endorphint hits are 246 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:33,240 suddenly gone, that's pretty traumatic. And all you need to 247 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,440 go back to the endorphins is to go back to 248 00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:41,360 the source that separates you from God. So does this 249 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,440 fake image. I wasn't made in God's image. I was 250 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,080 made in the image of myself. I'm all powerful and 251 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,360 a computer ship in your brain. The fear of the 252 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:55,240 Lord is the beginning of wisdom. We're to put the 253 00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:58,080 word of God on our minds, on our foreheads, to 254 00:16:58,159 --> 00:16:59,679 teach it to our kids, to live it on a 255 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,879 daily basis. When there's a computer ship in your brain, 256 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,240 your brain made by God. The people who make these 257 00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:11,759 computer ships, do you really think they won't try to 258 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,759 insert their personalities into it. Think of the money, after all, 259 00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,920 we are products, not patients in this corrupt medical system, 260 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,680 and the money's intense. It is if you look at 261 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,319 the money that we spend on healthcare and how the 262 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:29,559 performance has gone down, I think that is only maybe 263 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,039 maybe second place to the world's greatest economy with the 264 00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:39,440 biggish engine of commerce and innovation. Being a nation that 265 00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:44,680 is a debtor nation, we are absolutely, absolutely structurally bankrupt. 266 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,519 We are officially thirty trillion in debt. It's more than 267 00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:49,839 three hundred and thirty trillion. When people get this, we 268 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,799 see the interest rates going up. One of the reasons 269 00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:54,000 a lot of people voted for President Trump was he's 270 00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:55,839 going to write size the economy and he'll do what 271 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,559 he can. Part of that is the Department of Government Efficiency. 272 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,200 And I just talked about the downside of Elon Musk 273 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,279 there's an upside. Part of it is President Trump's true 274 00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:08,039 understanding of what business needs. They need to be able 275 00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:11,359 to come home and invest in producing products here right 276 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,039 now because of what Biden's done. Again, he's been caused 277 00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:16,440 to do that doesn't work. I think President Trump will 278 00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:19,920 change that on day one. It's unfortunate that he has 279 00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:24,240 a Labor Secretary nominee who hates small businesses and hates 280 00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:28,079 the work of the freedom of workers. So that's got 281 00:18:28,079 --> 00:18:30,559 a little bit murky. But it's going to be a 282 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:33,519 wild ride. So if you're at a buy and hold 283 00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:36,839 position with your retirement, how do you take that wild ride? 284 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,480 I guess you stand back and watch others and you 285 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:43,359 hope that buy and hold works. Except buy and hold 286 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,200 and my judgment has become a fool's Erron my friend, 287 00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:52,039 Zach Gabraham Bowick Capital Management actively manages every single portfolio, 288 00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:56,279 which can reduce risk and volatility. So what's his goal. Well, 289 00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:59,559 obviously to have you have a successful retirement, which Zach 290 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,559 defied as knowing exactly how much money you'll have every 291 00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:04,720 month for the rest of your life. That's how he 292 00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:09,680 defines it. He does that through a maniacal focus on 293 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,880 risk management, which again goes back to actively managing every 294 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,759 portfolio because he believes, as do I, that that can 295 00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:18,559 reduce risk and volatility. 296 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:19,279 Speaker 2: So do this. 297 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,799 Speaker 1: Just get in touch with him and ask for a 298 00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:24,680 free consultation.

The enemy 308 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,839 does need to get into our bodies. He hates our 309 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,079 bodies because he doesn't have He hates our bodies because 310 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,839 God said we were made in His image, Which brings 311 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:10,480 us around to a spiritual culture shift. The New York 312 00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:16,519 Post has written about a study on Orthodox Christian churches. 313 00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:21,279 Here's kind of an example what orthodox means much more 314 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,559 choir music, sometimes even chanting instead of worship bands with 315 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:31,960 popular Christian music. It means less of a focus on 316 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000 the personality of pastors. In fact, no focus on the 317 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,960 personality of pastors. Pastors are really doing homilies, reading straight 318 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,119 from the Bible, with a little bit of an observation 319 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,359 maybe about common life, but far less focus on what 320 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,200 we would say at my church is real life, talking 321 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,400 about the news of the day to some degree, and 322 00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:53,960 how we all face the news of the day. And 323 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,519 it is far more than traditional. The services are an 324 00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:03,640 establish fish length, they're an established time frame, they have 325 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,559 an established survey of communion. It's all very, very predictable. 326 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,640 Some people would say it's boring. This is from the 327 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,599 New York Post. A survey of Orthodox churches around the 328 00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:17,799 country found that parish has saw a seventy percent increase 329 00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:20,480 in converts in twenty twenty two compared with the pre 330 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,559 so called pandemic levels of twenty nineteen, and while historically 331 00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:27,559 men and women converted in equal numbers, vastly more men 332 00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:31,799 have joined the church since twenty twenty. Father Josiah Tenham 333 00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:34,200 and you'll hear from him in a second has led 334 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,839 Saint Andrew's Orthodox Church in Riverside, California, for nearly three decades, 335 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,240 and he's noticed a swift jump in interest. The last 336 00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:45,000 four to five years been a massive uptick. It's showing 337 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,480 no sign of tapering off. If anything, it's increasing still. 338 00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:50,319 It's happening massively and untold numbers all over the country. 339 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,279 Chartum's church has one thousand active participants, and although recent 340 00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:58,039 converts in his congregation have been split roughly evenly between 341 00:21:58,079 --> 00:22:01,079 men and women, he agrees that both ordo churches around 342 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,640 the country are gaining far more men. The feminization of 343 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,279 non orthodox forms of Christianity in America has been in 344 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,759 high gear for decades. Trynam explained, that's his opinion feminization interesting. 345 00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:14,680 He points to the fact that the vast majority of 346 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,240 attendees at most Christian churches are female. Many services are 347 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,640 accordally dominated by emotional songs, swaying, uplifted hands, eyes closed 348 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,119 in ecstasy. Men are much less comfortable in those settings, 349 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,880 and they've voted with their feet, which is why their 350 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,480 minorities in these forms of worship. He said, our worship 351 00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:35,759 forms are very traditional and very masculine. Now, incidentally, when 352 00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:38,000 you get a look at this pasture, you might understand 353 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,920 something of a view of his masculine view of masculinity. 354 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:47,160 But is that really why? Here's the saying that's worth considering. 355 00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:50,720 What good is the church if it's like the world? 356 00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:56,640 Why go to church? Our friend Gianna Jensen, famous for 357 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,400 having survived an abortion, a great Christian woman with great 358 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,880 opinions and all things. Jenna Jesson creates some coffee mugs. 359 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,359 One of them says, how can you change a world 360 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,400 you resemble? So if you walk into a church and 361 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,279 it's just like the world, why walk in the culture? 362 00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:16,839 It looks to a mall. Why not just go to 363 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,440 the mall. Malls are more fun. You can go whenever 364 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,480 you want, Plus there's ice cream. In the case of 365 00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:25,440 an Orthodox church, they don't look a thing like the world. 366 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:33,400 They look very different. There's also this they're the same theologically. 367 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,160 Now you would take, for instance, some evangelical churches, and 368 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,160 I can only speak from the experience of mind versus 369 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,079 our Lutheran church. The Lutheran Church in Seattle, we were 370 00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:48,279 members of for years, was in fact biblically strict for 371 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,720 a while, and then the cracks began to appear. We 372 00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:57,039 had one pastor who couldn't stop having every single sermon 373 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,359 be about the environment. At first it was recycling, and 374 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,359 then it was a carbon tax, and then it was 375 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,119 global warming, and then it was a un approach to 376 00:24:09,279 --> 00:24:13,200 capping carbon output. And very soon I started to really 377 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,480 track his sermons. They went from ninety percent the word, 378 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,640 ten percent observation to ninety percent environmentalism with a little 379 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,519 bit of Jesus sprinkled on top. We had another pastor 380 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,839 who lost his faith. He stepped away and went back 381 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,839 to being a college professor. And he's a good one, 382 00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:36,400 he's a dear man. We were victimized then by a 383 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,480 pastor sent in with half his salary paid. I knew 384 00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:42,440 what was up. My wife knew what was up. Is 385 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,880 a sorrows plant. We did everything we could to try 386 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,440 to stop this, but church went the other way. They 387 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,359 brought this guy in in half or at least three 388 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,319 quarters of his salary was paid by a leftist group. 389 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,880 His sermons were mostly about South Park. Well I'm not kidding, 390 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,799 quoted a show that mocks the Lord Jesus in nearly 391 00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:06,960 every one of his sermons. And then the questions began, 392 00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:13,799 why aren't we bringing people in to perform same sex unions? 393 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,640 Where in the Bible did Jesus ever talk about gay. 394 00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:27,799 Jesus addressed marriage, adultery, fornication, and he chose twelve men, 395 00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:31,480 eleven of whom became apostles. And then of course Luke 396 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,039 and Saul, who became Paul, came along and they taught. 397 00:25:36,319 --> 00:25:40,200 They taught about marriage, what it means, human sexuality, and 398 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,119 how and how not to practice it. Jesus also said, 399 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,000 I did not come to tear down the law, but 400 00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:48,519 to fulfill it. And yes, there were some specific instances 401 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,960 where Jesus changed things, which he gets to do because 402 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,599 he's God, because he'd been fulfilled to the law, dietary restrictions, 403 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,359 et cetera. Jesus changed those because they'd been fulfilled and 404 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,480 he was about to fulfill the entire law. So our 405 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:09,559 church changed with the times. Orthodox Christian churches are not 406 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,799 changing with the times. They're not even having worship bands 407 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,599 or coffee in the lobbies. Is it masculinity or is 408 00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:23,039 it something else there's drawing men there? Incidentally, Evan developed churches, 409 00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:25,640 at least ours has always had more women than men, 410 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,319 and part of that has to do with women living 411 00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:31,319 longer than men. That's a number that's not disclosed in 412 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,319 this Many of the single women who attend evangelical churches 413 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,000 are single, not through choice, but through the death of 414 00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:41,160 their husbands. Women are living a lot longer than men, 415 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,519 and that number continues to expand. But there's something else, 416 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:47,400 and I'm sure you've already connected the dots on this. 417 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,160 This isn't in the New York post piece, but it 418 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:55,200 should be. It's the lack of wisdom of these leftist churches, because, 419 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,799 of course, the fear of the Lord is the beginning 420 00:26:56,839 --> 00:26:59,519 of wisdom. They don't fear the Lord. They apparently hate 421 00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:02,319 the Lord. And the Lord has provided for us not 422 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,599 just wisdom, but ways in fact to use his wisdom 423 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,759 to help with our bodily health. I'm holding a bottle 424 00:27:09,799 --> 00:27:13,480 of a product called wisdom. It's a biblical herbal blend. 425 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,400 And the idea for this came into the mind of 426 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,440 a doctor named Patrick gen Tempo. And he was in 427 00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:23,480 the Holy Land walking where Jesus walked, simply experiencing the tour. 428 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,200 But as he walked and he read through the mind 429 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,799 of a doctor, he couldn't help but think of all 430 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,519 the times sacred herbs are mentioned in the Bible, sometimes 431 00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:37,519 for prayer, sometimes for other forms of ceremony, sometimes for healing, 432 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,240 and as he was in the Holy land walking about, 433 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,720 he received some inspiration to create this product called Wisdom. 434 00:27:46,279 --> 00:27:50,359 So it is an oil based herbal blend. And here's 435 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,839 what I get from it. First of all, a healthy 436 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,920 response to inflammation if you harness inflammation even after intense 437 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,440 forms of exercise. If you harness it, it can be 438 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:05,079 your friend. An improved immune response, relaxation, joint health. All 439 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,039 of this from this product. He went to some extraordinary 440 00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:10,400 links to maintain the potency of this which you will taste. 441 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,799 And so this is an enormously good tasting product. I 442 00:28:12,839 --> 00:28:14,839 take it straight. I've done this on the show. My 443 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,440 daughter puts it in her coffee. She gets all the 444 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,319 benefits from coffee, the lift, but not the jagged edge. 445 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,039 I need the jagged edge. I love the jagged edge. 446 00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:26,119 Bring me the jagged edge. And when I take it straight, 447 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,119 I'm always impressed by how good it tastes. One of 448 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,920 the reasons why is because it is cold brood. It 449 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,319 is made in incredibly small batches. It's infused with light 450 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,079 waves and sound waves to lock in the potency. So 451 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,279 get what I get, Biblical wisdom in an herbal blend. 452 00:28:43,559 --> 00:28:47,160 Go to try wisdomnow dot com slash todd.

Is it really feminization of these churches that's 459 00:29:07,759 --> 00:29:09,920 driving men towards the Orthodox churches? I don't think so. 460 00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:14,480 I think it's predictability. We all have in our hearts 461 00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:17,359 a need to be led by God. I would suggest 462 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,519 that men who are called to be the spiritual leaders 463 00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:24,680 of their homes need a solid leader. Solid leaders don't 464 00:29:24,759 --> 00:29:27,400 change with the times. Yes, we can adapt on a 465 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,160 battlefield basis, but the Bible doesn't give us the opportunity 466 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,880 to adapt because the ultimate leader and the only true 467 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,880 leader is Jesus, and he's not changing. He can't and 468 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,200 won't because his word is in errant. It's complete and 469 00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:45,400 an errant, and it is useful for teaching and rebuke 470 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,799 at all times. The further you move away from it, 471 00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:49,480 the further it's going to drive in the men's hearts 472 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,640 that I don't feel like this is a leadership place. 473 00:29:51,839 --> 00:29:58,079 But then there's this liberal leading churches are absolutely plummeting 474 00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:03,359 terms the number of attendees and the more aligned they 475 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,680 are to so called progressive views. The more distinct this 476 00:30:06,799 --> 00:30:11,359 drop is. If you look at the key Anglican churches 477 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,960 of Canada. Now, the churches of Canada are far more liberal. 478 00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:18,000 The angorgan Church in North America and the United States 479 00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:21,880 is a little bit conservative. They're far more liberal in Canada. 480 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,920 Look at this twenty nineteen number of total number on 481 00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:28,640 parish rolls thirty three thousand, A department three undred and 482 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,200 thirty three thousand, eight hundred ninety four twenty twenty two 483 00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:34,240 two udor ninety four thousand, nine hundred and thirty one 484 00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:38,200 to twelve percent decline twenty six percent decline in average 485 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:44,000 Sunday attendants regular identifiable givers as seventeen percent decline, Easter 486 00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:48,480 attendance forty five percent, decline Pentecost attendants thirty seven percent, 487 00:30:48,519 --> 00:30:53,559 decline forty seven percent, decline in Christmas attendants twenty five percent, 488 00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:57,960 decline in baptisms confirmations thirteen percent decline ten percent decline 489 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:03,599 in marriages funerals zero percent decline angagan churches. If Canada 490 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,559 introduced a pastoral blessing for men who think they're women 491 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:16,400 and parishioners who don't believe there are any biological sex whatsoever. 492 00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:24,279 If your church looks like the world, what is the 493 00:31:24,319 --> 00:31:29,720 need for your church? When you're walking through a mall, 494 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,839 you expect to see signs of the world. You expect 495 00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:37,960 to see pride flags, so called trans flags. You expect 496 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,519 to see coffee shops and yuck yak in. And we 497 00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:45,119 have a coffee shop in our church. We have a lobby. 498 00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:49,440 There's a reason for that. Number One, it gives people 499 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,319 an opportunity to sit and have fellowship. Number two, our 500 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,359 churches opened about twelve hours a day because there's always 501 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,480 something going on. We always want the church building to 502 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,359 be in use. We never want the real estate to 503 00:32:03,359 --> 00:32:06,519 go cold. Why do that? Why stewart God's money in 504 00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:09,200 such an inappropriate way. But there's some things that are 505 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,119 not going to change in our church. There's not going 506 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,000 to be a pride flag. There's not going to be 507 00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:15,720 a so called trans flag. And as much as our 508 00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:20,359 pastors take heat for this, there's very little discussion of 509 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,279 political personalities. Our point of view in the church is, 510 00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:26,000 if we're in the Bible, you don't need us to 511 00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:29,319 tell you how to vote. If we're speaking biblical truth, 512 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,079 you already know how to vote. On the topic of 513 00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:35,559 things like so called transgenderism. If you consult Genesis and 514 00:32:35,599 --> 00:32:39,359 go threat the Bible on male female relationships, you understand 515 00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:43,359 that is not biblical. Same thing with marriage, same thing 516 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,640 with thieving, same thing with coveting. If you apply coveting 517 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,480 to things like reparations, you already have your answer. Reparations 518 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,599 are driven from hatred, or not to hate our neighbor, 519 00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:55,960 but to love them. Reparations are a form of refusing 520 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,039 to forgive. They're a form of coveting. If you're in 521 00:32:59,119 --> 00:33:01,519 the Bible, you know that. Or to forgive our enemies, 522 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,240 or to love our enemies, or to pray for them, 523 00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:07,920 or not to covet either their neighbors, wives, or their houses, 524 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,960 or their cars or their fur one ks, or to forgive. 525 00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:17,200 Our point of view on this is the opposite of 526 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,279 these heretical churches, and in Christian Orthodox churches, most of 527 00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:26,759 them are out speaking about politics. They're going straight from 528 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,759 the Word of God and sometimes even fire and brimstone. 529 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,559 Sometimes they talk about hell and the reality of the 530 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:44,559 choice you face. I'm always fascinated, literally fascinated by obsessions 531 00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:48,160 people have about the longevity of life. And I guess 532 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,240 I'm at this age I'm fifty seven, where a lot 533 00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:53,039 of my friends are saying things I can ask. You know, hey, 534 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,400 tell me about your day. Well, I'm still above ground. 535 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,680 That's a good thing. Why Why, Well, I guess it 536 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:07,000 beats the alternative. Why Well, I mean, I'm living. I'm emulatory. Cool. 537 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,239 Why is that better than eternity with God? Well, I 538 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,480 guess I'm just not ready for that yet. Okay, fair enough, 539 00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:19,840 I am a little different. My point is this, people 540 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:26,000 who fret about every last day. I have this goal. 541 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,239 I want to live to be one hundred and one 542 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,920 years old. I want to be one hundred and fifteen. 543 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,159 I want that. I want to see my great great grandkids. Cool. 544 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:41,599 What is that compared to one hundred trillion years? You're 545 00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:45,559 one hundred year lifespan compared to one hundred trillion years? 546 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,360 What is it? It's like spitting out of your mouth 547 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:55,840 the word trillion compared to repeating the word trillion for 548 00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:02,199 the next one hundred trillion seconds. So focus on your longevity. 549 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,920 If that's where you're at, focus on holding onto this 550 00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:07,679 life and scrapping for every last second, then maybe you should. 551 00:35:08,559 --> 00:35:12,039 After all, it's God's choice when it's time for us 552 00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:16,639 to go. But if you're not moniacally focused on your future, 553 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,239 you think that ninety or eighty or even one hundred 554 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,679 and fifteen years is going to matter when you failed 555 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:30,239 to plan for your eternity. There's a number of pastors 556 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,960 who are with these churches that are Orthodox Christian and 557 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,719 they become kind of YouTube celebrities, and this is one 558 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,679 of the reasons that young men are reaching out to them. 559 00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:41,000 I'm going to show you some of their work here 560 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,119 in a second.

So some of these pastors, one of 587 00:37:01,599 --> 00:37:03,400 them was mentioned in the article in The New York 588 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,239 Post and quoted in his opinion of the church becoming 589 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,440 more and more well feminine. We'll get to him. Let's 590 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,800 start first of all with a guy named Father Moses McPherson, 591 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,159 Holy Mother of God, Orthodox Church in Georgetown, Texas. And 592 00:37:18,159 --> 00:37:20,119 by the way, Father Moses, if you're on the video 593 00:37:20,119 --> 00:37:23,840 service watching this, he is as yoked as he looks. 594 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,159 The dude is probably around a four hundred pound maybe 595 00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:32,199 four und and fifty pound bench presser and very orthodox in. 596 00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 3: The name of the Father and of the Son and 597 00:37:33,519 --> 00:37:36,280 of the Holy Spirit. When I was in my mid twenties, 598 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,119 I had a mentor who posed a question to me 599 00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:42,880 at the time that set me on a trajectory of 600 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,840 looking at life circumstances in a different light. And if 601 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,159 you ask yourself this question, I believe that many times 602 00:37:49,159 --> 00:37:52,199 you're going to know what the right answer is. And 603 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,000 he would ask me after I told him some dilemma 604 00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:57,400 that I had run into, some problem that I was facing, 605 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,360 he would say, do you want to do what ninety 606 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,280 nine percent of Christians would do? Or do you want 607 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,719 to do what one percent would do? Essentially, what he 608 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,599 was saying was, what do you think the Saints would 609 00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:14,039 do in this situation? What goes against every inclination that 610 00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:18,880 you have what grinds against your self love and absolutely 611 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,239 puts you to death. What decision is going to be 612 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,360 the hardest to make? And so it was as I 613 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,119 went through circumstances and I would talk with him, he 614 00:38:28,159 --> 00:38:31,559 would repeat this question again and again, and every time 615 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,440 I knew the answer, and not only that, but just 616 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,719 the question itself would kind of hype me up to 617 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,440 accept the answer because I would immediately feelin that competitiveness, 618 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,360 that inclination of like, I don't want to be like 619 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,000 everybody else. I want to push myself farther. I want 620 00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:53,679 to brace what's more difficult. I want to feel the 621 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,079 sting of actually having to live out my faith in 622 00:38:57,119 --> 00:39:00,280 a way that is not going to be comfortable. And 623 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,360 so today's video is all about that. What does the 624 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,679 ninety nine percent of people do? Just in general in 625 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,039 our culture. These are all your pop culture icons, your 626 00:39:10,039 --> 00:39:14,159 movie stars or Andrew Tates, your Mannosphere, all these people 627 00:39:14,159 --> 00:39:18,880 who are looking for a certain set of circumstances and 628 00:39:19,119 --> 00:39:24,360 status and success as they present it to everyone, versus 629 00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:28,119 what is the one percent path? The path of the saints, 630 00:39:28,519 --> 00:39:30,280 those who emulate Christ. 631 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 1: And He's presenting in front of a whiteboard, looking at 632 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,800 the temporal versus the eternal in other words, permanence in 633 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,559 other words, predictability, in other words, solidity, in other words, 634 00:39:43,639 --> 00:39:46,800 building your house upon the rock of the Word of God. 635 00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:52,239 Compare that to these churches that have to just go 636 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,599 out with the current thing. How many leftist churches suddenly 637 00:39:55,679 --> 00:39:58,400 identified Ukraine as the most important country in the world, 638 00:39:58,639 --> 00:40:03,159 the country where Jesus was born. Fact, this is far 639 00:40:03,199 --> 00:40:06,519 more to me a driver of these trends of young 640 00:40:06,559 --> 00:40:11,360 men adopting Orthodox Christianity than is the idea that Evangelical 641 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,599 churches or Lutheran churches have become feminized. They're not necessarily 642 00:40:14,639 --> 00:40:16,480 become feminized. It's just become like the world. There's no 643 00:40:16,519 --> 00:40:20,840 reason to be there, there's no predictability. Strong men need 644 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,360 strong messages. This next gentleman was quoted in The New 645 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,679 York Times in the post article. He's the guy who 646 00:40:27,679 --> 00:40:30,679 said that the churches have become feminized. His name is 647 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:35,280 Father Josiah Trenham, and he leads Saint Andrew's Orthodox Church 648 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,800 in Riverside, California, has done that for quite a while. 649 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,480 He also has a YouTube channel. This gets a lot 650 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,400 of hits. He was talking about Instagram and young girls 651 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,320 and what's happened to them? And it's a video called 652 00:40:47,599 --> 00:40:49,880 Ugly Girls question Mark. 653 00:40:50,199 --> 00:40:52,519 Speaker 4: It's had a tremendous impact, and most of it has 654 00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:56,920 been horrifically negative. Let me read you just a few 655 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:02,039 of the major areas that are deeply troubling. A focus 656 00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:10,639 on dissatisfaction with bodily image, what's sometimes called appearance anxiety, 657 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:17,440 has spiked amongst women. The altered kind of best presentation 658 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:24,960 digital presentation that women make has raised a perfection bar 659 00:41:26,159 --> 00:41:31,320 that has led to self condemnation in so many women's lives, 660 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:37,559 dissatisfaction and has produced a spike in eating disorders, depression 661 00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:46,480 and anxiety, suicidal tendencies and thoughts idiation, self comparison, an 662 00:41:46,679 --> 00:41:54,599 intense fixation on comparison, and internalized rather perverse concept of 663 00:41:54,639 --> 00:42:01,480 the ideal being exceedingly thin, and has promoted a radical 664 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:08,920 increase in cosmetic surgery, altering in order physically altering through 665 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:14,280 surgery one's presentation. This is not news to anybody who's 666 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,639 been watching and thinking about these matters for some time. 667 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,800 In the male sphere, of course, this also leads to 668 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:28,119 many many temptations for men to objectify women worse than 669 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:35,440 we already do, and to develop standards and expectations that 670 00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:41,840 are completely fantasy and unreal, and to miss well, to 671 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:48,800 miss authentic life and the real glory of male female relationships, 672 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,880 especially the significance from God of developing a love interest 673 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:58,480 and cultivating a partner that you can marry and build 674 00:42:58,519 --> 00:43:01,559 a life with. Before the face of God. 675 00:43:02,039 --> 00:43:06,280 Speaker 1: There are very few fathers dads who are having that 676 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:11,480 form of conversation with kids these days, as is evidenced 677 00:43:11,519 --> 00:43:14,320 by the use of social media. So one other factor 678 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,079 driving this is a lot of young men who had 679 00:43:18,199 --> 00:43:23,159 either absent fathers or part time fathers, or fathers who 680 00:43:23,199 --> 00:43:24,800 do not know how to lead in the godly sense. 681 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,639 You're looking at one of them. I was a young father. 682 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,239 I didn't know how to lead in the godly sense, 683 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,639 and it cost my daughter a great deal, cost our 684 00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:39,800 family a great deal. Some men need fathers, they need 685 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,159 the solid rock of Christ in all of us. There's 686 00:43:43,159 --> 00:43:46,880 a need for God's leadership. And I believe that God 687 00:43:47,079 --> 00:43:50,599 is the reason this is happening. I believe that God 688 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,519 has communicated to young men that's not my face look 689 00:43:55,559 --> 00:43:58,119 over here. I don't think it needs to be in 690 00:43:58,159 --> 00:44:01,159 an Orthodox Christian Church. But I think that trend is 691 00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:04,440 far more explainable as an act of God than the 692 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,599 feminization of the churches. This is the Todd Hermannshaw. Please go, 693 00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:13,440 be well, be strong, be kind, and do everything you 694 00:44:13,519 --> 00:44:16,239 can to follow Christ, which by the way includes being 695 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,519 a member of a church community. He did, in fact, 696 00:44:18,519 --> 00:44:19,360 invent the churches.
