Action4Canada - Trans Ideology God's Word Man's War With Tanya Gaw & Dr Ted Fenske, June 11, 2025

00:00:00.000 Now, I had my experience with the non-heterosexual community during the AIDS epidemic.

00:00:04.620 So that's when I cut my teeth in medicine.

00:00:06.920 And my job was caring for men mainly.

00:00:09.380 My age at the time, my 20s were coming in with all sorts of unusual infections and cancers and dying.

00:00:15.760 And they didn't die immediately like a heart attack kind of death.

00:00:18.020 They died slowly.

00:00:18.720 It offered me the opportunity to get to know them and to meet their communities, their families, their lovers, talk with them, hear their stories, walk with them through their illness.

00:00:28.160 At that point in time, there was no AZT.

00:00:30.580 There was only antiretroviral therapy.

00:00:32.260 My heart broke for them.

00:00:33.380 And they didn't agree with what they were doing, how they got there.

00:00:35.480 But I was caring for them and come alongside them in that.

00:00:39.020 And my heart broke for them.

00:00:40.280 And sadly, every single one of them died.

00:00:42.200 Not one survived.

00:00:43.400 And it was a hard thing.

00:00:44.500 I had to care for them and then pronounce them dead.

00:00:47.180 And that has never left me.

00:00:48.940 And so I find myself then on a certain level drawn to people who are confused in this fashion and concerned for them.

00:00:58.160 Well, hello, everyone, and welcome to the Empower Hour.

00:01:05.900 I'm really looking forward to the presentation tonight.

00:01:08.980 I think it's extremely important.

00:01:11.780 Action for Canada is focused on not only educating Canadians but mobilizing them.

00:01:16.320 So before we have our guest on, I'm going to share my screen.

00:01:21.000 It is the month of June.

00:01:23.120 And it is a battleground out there for our children on the school grounds and for society at large.

00:01:31.040 I mean, everything they want to say, you know, it was once upon a time Pride Day and then, of course, Pride Week and Pride Season.

00:01:37.880 But the reality is, is this is every day of the year, you know, year-round.

00:01:42.780 And for our kids, if you look at their calendars in the schools, they're inundated with all things LGBTQ.

00:01:48.680 This is a militant political system that is infiltrating with a very clear objective.

00:01:55.960 So one, I want to start with an appeal, again, to ask that you would please donate to Action for Canada to our legal fund.

00:02:05.320 This case with Tyson Cook, the drag queen that we've mentioned numerous times on the show, this has been going on.

00:02:13.420 It started two and a half years ago where we found out that he was an education assistant and that his online social media content and YouTube videos where he's killing people and chopping them up and eating them, that kind of thing, is all accessible to children.

00:02:28.820 And so we had a problem with that and we made it public and he decided in December to file a defamation case against us.

00:02:35.740 And we, a couple of weeks ago, had filed our application of response in my affidavit and it's all on this page.

00:02:45.020 It had so much incredible evidence in it that they wanted an injunction and within 24 hours they put a pause on that and had requested that the application be suspended at this time, just adjourned generally.

00:02:59.740 And so that was very, very good news, but we are going to go all the way on this case, but we can never do these kind of cases without your support.

00:03:10.240 And this is a critical case.

00:03:12.220 The drag queens are trying to win cases in the courts to set these precedents. 1.00

00:03:17.780 And when you, you know, if you want to be a drag queen, go and entertain adults.

00:03:22.760 You don't need to be entertaining children.

00:03:24.400 And if you're an education assistant, there is a code of conduct that you should follow if you're going to be around kids.

00:03:31.100 And, you know, within those parameters, I think that Action for Canada, this is a matter of public interest and this is in protection of the freedom of speech and, of course, the protection of children across the nation.

00:03:44.740 So please donate to us.

00:03:47.180 I want to thank everybody who's been supporting us.

00:03:49.780 We've spent just under $40,000 or just over $40,000 since January for these cases.

00:03:57.340 This is lawfare in the courts.

00:03:59.500 It should never be going in this direction.

00:04:02.280 The Kelowna School Board should have done their job when we had brought this up two and a half years ago and dealt with this matter.

00:04:11.260 And they didn't.

00:04:12.640 And so this is the situation that we're in and we're not going to be backing down.

00:04:15.940 So thank you for that.

00:04:16.900 And then, again, because it's Pride Month and we are mobilizing Canadians, this has been effective.

00:04:23.960 We've got a list of towns and cities and situations where the mayor's city councils, even police, have not flown the pride flag because of the letter that calls for the mayor's city councils, principals, etc.

00:04:40.040 to ban non-government and special interest flags in favor of the provincial flag and, of course, the Canadian flag.

00:04:48.000 And we also bring awareness as to who created the pride flag.

00:04:51.900 OK, this is a political activist and said that's what flags are for.

00:04:55.120 It's about proclaiming power.

00:04:56.520 Should they be doing that over our schools and over our children? 0.84

00:04:58.680 And I had a news today that here in Surrey at Fraser Wood Elementary School, the librarian's name is Anne, I think it's Anne McNamee.

00:05:11.120 She's described as an activist within the library.

00:05:14.160 And she wasn't there today, but the sub that came in was instructed to read a book to kindergartners.

00:05:19.180 And it was to kindergartners, OK, about a boy that was LGBTQ that had decided to be gay.

00:05:28.940 Is this appropriate content for kindergartners?

00:05:32.000 So with our win in Alberta, and thank goodness for Mr. Nicolaitis, Minister Nicolaitis in Alberta, taking our concerns very seriously and removing these pornographic books and doing a review of so many others.

00:05:48.140 I believe that these LGBTQ activists who have specifically gotten into these positions where they're using their positions to advance their political activist agenda, that they know their time is short.

00:06:04.460 And I'm going to hope and pray that with the success in Alberta and other provinces, we're going to have the same kind of success in B.C.

00:06:11.400 And we need to, we must do that on behalf of our children.

00:06:15.400 So please take action together across the nation.

00:06:19.280 I mean, for myself with Action for Canada, if I was one person, I would just pretty much accomplish not too much, right?

00:06:25.560 Maybe a little bit, but because we have teams across the country and Canadians are getting mobilized, they're using our resources.

00:06:32.360 We're trying to make it as easy on you as possible.

00:06:34.700 We really are having an impact.

00:06:36.760 And if you go and Google Action for Canada right now and do a search engine on it, you're seeing that there's a lot of people upset at the Federal Library Association and the Federal School Association and all the rest of it.

00:06:51.600 That's where the activists have gotten in, into all these key positions that affect our children and society at large.

00:06:58.200 So we're the majority still.

00:07:00.320 So let's act like it.

00:07:01.680 Okay.

00:07:02.240 We need your help to do that.

00:07:04.160 All right, then.

00:07:05.360 So I'm now very happy to bring on our guest.

00:07:10.100 And as an introduction, he's just such an amazing person.

00:07:14.000 It's such a privilege to welcome Dr. Ted Penske to the show.

00:07:18.600 He is a husband, father, grandfather, author of numerous books and journals, a former clinical professor with the Division of Cardiology at the University of Alberta, and staff cardiologist at the CKHU Heart Center.

00:07:30.720 He's a fellow for medicine and public Christianity at the Ezra Institute for Contemporary Christianity, a speaker for Apologetics Canada, and an elder at Fellowship Baptist Church in Edmonton.

00:07:41.840 He has spoken in numerous public forums on a broad range of topics, including the COVID crisis and jab concerns to countering abortion and doctor-assisted suicide, as well as responding to the LGBTQ plus movement and gender confusion.

00:07:57.180 I mean, these are all the hot topics you can imagine.

00:07:59.880 This is, isn't this just write-up action for Canada's alley?

00:08:02.420 So this is great.

00:08:04.080 So with over 30 years' experience in the medicine, Ted speaks to the pressing issues of the day with grace and truth, and we're so honored to have him on the show tonight.

00:08:13.640 So welcome, Dr. Penske, to the Empower Hour.

00:08:17.820 Thank you very much, Tanya.

00:08:19.360 This is a real joy and privilege for me to be able to be part of this Empower Hour.

00:08:25.100 I'm a big fan of Action for Canada and, you know, your commitment to protecting, indeed, faith, family, and freedom.

00:08:32.440 And that's exactly what we're seeing on the chopping block today in Canada, unfortunately, and it really makes my head spin.

00:08:38.320 I was born in Canada, and I've been proud to be a Canadian for many years, but less and less so.

00:08:45.720 And this issue at hand here now, with the LGBTQ agenda that's been foisted on our children and on our society, is really a center point in that disappointment and really embarrassment that I feel now as a Canadian. 1.00

00:09:05.100 Yeah.

00:09:06.340 But I am delighted to be here, and thank you.

00:09:09.060 Yeah, thank you.

00:09:10.000 And, you know, like I say, it's not that just we're having this program because it's Pride Month.

00:09:14.700 We talk about this issue throughout the year.

00:09:17.220 We have campaigns in September for fathers to bring their children to school, and we have a notice of liability, and we say, hey, serve that to the teacher and say, don't you start talking about this nonsense to my kids.

00:09:30.320 Keep it to reading, writing, and arithmetic, and we'll be okay.

00:09:32.920 But we really do need the men in this nation to step up and be, you know, the guarders of the home and of society at large.

00:09:40.980 And so that's one reason as well why I'm, you know, really happy to have you on as a man of God.

00:09:46.900 You also are gracious towards this community.

00:09:51.120 We understand, you know, part of the scenario is they've been indoctrinating children to death in the schools, planting these little seeds and these ideas.

00:10:00.700 Like in grade kindergarten, you know, they're teaching them about homosexual relationships, which is not anywhere, you know, on their radar.

00:10:09.660 And so then by the time they graduate, some call them the Marxist soldiers, are out regurgitating what it was that they've just spent 12 years learning.

00:10:19.560 And many of those kids are wrongfully, you know, identifying as LGBTQ now. 0.98

00:10:27.080 And so what we need to do, and as you say, is grace, one, we've got to stand firmly against it.

00:10:32.440 And it isn't just a matter that society has become, you know, so much less discriminatory against this group.

00:10:39.400 No, it's because there is 27% or higher of people identifying now is because they've planted the seed in their head that would have never otherwise been there.

00:10:49.420 And that's why these conversations are very important.

00:10:51.960 One, to stand up and speak the truth, but also to appeal to this community of people, you know, to understand the gravity of this and the decisions that they're making.

00:11:02.900 So I believe you're going to cover some of that in your presentation as well.

00:11:06.080 Yes, I hope to, yes.

00:11:09.900 Okay.

00:11:10.460 Well, with that, I'm just going to turn the show over to you and you can share screen.

00:11:15.100 And this will be about a 45-minute presentation.

00:11:18.120 There will be some time for Q&A afterwards.

00:11:20.220 If you're watching live and you want to ask questions, please come on to the Zoom, which we'll make available to you.

00:11:28.240 And there's an opportunity to put questions in the Q&A.

00:11:31.140 All right, over to you.

00:11:32.400 Thank you very much.

00:11:33.180 It's a real privilege and honor to be here.

00:11:36.800 And I have been speaking to this important topic for about a decade now in different forums.

00:11:43.720 And it's really been a topic that's been on the move.

00:11:48.300 And it's just been growing before my eyes.

00:11:50.940 And so I am very pleased to go speak to it today in the middle of our, as we find ourselves in this Pride season.

00:11:57.780 A season, not just a day or a month as in the past.

00:12:02.240 But thank you to the Liberal government that we've had, and Justin Trudeau in particular, that's been moved into, you know, a whole season that begins in June, runs right through the fall.

00:12:12.580 And it doesn't really stop at any point in the year or inundated by the, as we've heard, the buses, the flags, and the parades.

00:12:23.500 So what I'd like to focus on today is talking a little bit about how we got here, some of the historical background, just to kind of set a context for this issue in terms of the LGBT ideology and how it's become so entrenched in our society and been embraced.

00:12:41.400 And second, touch on the worldview conflict at hand.

00:12:44.540 And really, this is the attack, particularly on the Christian worldview.

00:12:50.420 And then lastly, to spend some time discussing a faithful response, a faithful response that would be, I'm hoping, helpful for the individual who's struggling in terms of our people within our circle, for example,

00:13:05.880 and people who are struggling with gender dysphoria or this confusion of our sexual identity,

00:13:11.580 but also to be able to speak to the broader agenda at hand and the ideology on a societal level in a public square.

00:13:20.800 So first, this didn't come out of nowhere.

00:13:24.020 This didn't happen overnight.

00:13:25.260 It really has its roots, this LGBT agenda within the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

00:13:32.460 It's really a logical progression of that revolution with its emphasis on personal autonomy and the original sin.

00:13:38.200 I can be my own law, I can be gone to myself, and self-expression, really, in the extreme.

00:13:44.900 And if we go back in time, though, this 1960s sexual revolution didn't come out of nowhere either.

00:13:50.760 And we can trace elements back to the early 20s with Margaret Singer, who was, as you may be aware, an activist for contraception,

00:14:00.020 and was actually the key founder of the Planned Parenthood that's developed,

00:14:07.940 and really was motivated, in part at least, in her activism for contraception by racist eugenics.

00:14:16.340 She actually considered certain people within the community, within society, as feeble-minded,

00:14:21.720 and that there should be a stopping of reckless spawning, as she called, because it carries the seas of destruction.

00:14:28.480 And so, already 100 years ago, we have set the stage, then, some of the very key backdrop to the sexual revolution.

00:14:40.980 And she wasn't alone.

00:14:42.220 It was Margaret Mead who was in her era, and she penned a book entitled Coming of Age in Samoa.

00:14:49.680 And she was an anthropologist and spent time in Samoa, supposedly researching the sexuality there,

00:15:00.160 but really spent most of her time talking with two particular young ladies and drew most of her information from there. 0.73

00:15:07.960 And so, her perspective, in so doing, suggested that our sexual ethic of North America, Canada, was repressive and caused needless suffering in young people.

00:15:21.360 And she was suggesting that there should be a movement away from the sexual norms of our society.

00:15:28.360 Now, later, it was shown that her research was very much a hoax, and it's been detailed quite nicely.

00:15:34.460 In that regard, Derek Freeman and others have shown clearly that her research had no real basis in the Samoan culture.

00:15:42.620 But nonetheless, it was almost too late.

00:15:44.900 And it was a rapid uptake of that.

00:15:47.720 It was like she said, with itching ears, we're hoping to hear.

00:15:52.080 And so, that began a loosening, then, of the sexual norm, sexual ethic.

00:15:56.880 And then, there was Alfred Kinsey.

00:16:00.160 Alfred Kinsey is considered the father of the sexual revolution in many regards, and in particular because of his so-called Kinsey Report,

00:16:08.380 where he studied and reported on a large population.

00:16:14.740 But many of them, though, from a very particular part of the population, many of them were people who were incarcerated and known homosexuals and the like.

00:16:25.440 But he came to these generalizations that all are sexual from birth to death.

00:16:31.740 And he had these fraudulent claims that there was widespread societal sexual immorality. 0.97

00:16:36.460 Now, he himself was bisexual and promiscuous. 0.97

00:16:42.300 And it's been shown that his research and work actually facilitated sexual abuse with children. 0.93

00:16:50.740 And it's being decried.

00:16:52.960 Nonetheless, his name is still held highly by the LGBT community.

00:16:58.100 And again, as I mentioned, it's considered the father of the sexual revolution.

00:17:02.720 And then, of course, there was Hugh Hefger, who considered him Kinsey's pamphleteer.

00:17:06.940 So he launched Playboy magazine in 1953 and really spread sexual liberation that way in mainstream pornography.

00:17:14.520 And this was a very early step then.

00:17:17.020 And, of course, we've come so far terribly on that topic.

00:17:20.220 But Hugh Hefger was a forerunner there of our pornography plague that we're inundated with today.

00:17:27.120 And then we have our own Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who in 1967 was Justice Minister of Canada and through his omnibus bill then resulted in the legalization of abortion in Canada, the liberalization of divorce, and the decriminalization of homosexuality.

00:17:45.520 He famously said the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.

00:17:49.520 It really set the stage in Canada, a loosening of the sexual ethic and a promotion then of the sexual revolution.

00:17:58.880 Now, things came to a bit of a head in 1969.

00:18:01.720 That was the year that there was the Stonewall Riots that you may be familiar with.

00:18:06.180 The Stonewall Riots following Judy Garland's death.

00:18:08.780 And Judy Garland was a big advocate and supporter of gay rights.

00:18:13.600 And we might remember her from Wizard of Oz as a cute little girl, but her life was quite a sad one, suffered from alcoholism and drug abuse and trouble.

00:18:25.340 And she actually died quite young in her 40s.

00:18:30.080 And her death then occurred June 27th, 1969.

00:18:33.940 And following that morning, the gay community responded in New York, there was this riot. 0.86

00:18:42.100 And the riot involved a pub that was used for a mafia-run gay bar in New York.

00:18:52.640 And instead of the people just going along with the riot, they actually pushed back.

00:18:57.400 And it was kind of thought of as the Rosa Parks moment for gay rights.

00:19:00.840 Rosa Parks, of course, was the black lady who didn't go to the back of the bus in 1955 and really sparked the civil rights movement in the States. 1.00

00:19:09.840 So this was the Rosa Parks moment for the gay rights movement in this issue.

00:19:18.160 And then we have architects such as Kate Millett in 1969, who was a Marxist feminist.

00:19:25.080 And really, in her writings, politicized sexuality and really got the ball moving in terms of the systematic dismantling of family, of monogamy, of patriarchy that we're seeing today.

00:19:40.900 And really set the stage then, this cultural revolution by promoting promiscuity, abortion, and homosexuality. 0.98

00:19:47.580 So it's no surprise then that we find ourselves in this situation today.

00:19:53.440 And really, we're living out, if you like, a logical outworking, a living out of the legacy then of this sexual revolution.

00:20:00.320 A legacy of what Kate Millett and others had promoted.

00:20:04.680 We have internet pornography, which is such a giant problem, even within the church.

00:20:09.720 We have abortion on demand in Canada.

00:20:11.580 There's no law in Canada to protect the pre-born, as you may be aware.

00:20:14.940 We have radicalized feminism, which is actually struggling because of the transgenderism that's taken the stage. 1.00

00:20:23.820 We can't even define what a female is, so it's very difficult then to be radically feminine.

00:20:28.560 But nonetheless, we still have that at stage.

00:20:32.420 In gay liberation, there's been developed a hookup culture, public nudity that we see particularly during the Pride season and the Pride parades. 0.73

00:20:39.440 And not surprisingly, with the abortions and the oral contraceptive pill use and the like, we have a baby bust.

00:20:49.320 And this has taken people actually by surprise because it wasn't long ago.

00:20:54.700 In fact, I remember 2019, before COVID, climate concerns were the number one issue of the day.

00:21:00.600 And Greta Thunberg, you may recall, was person of the year that year.

00:21:05.980 And the concern was, by the climate alarmists, was that there was an overpopulation issue.

00:21:12.060 And we needed to bring in our carbon footprint and actually reduce children.

00:21:18.120 There was no future, no child hashtags that were sent around.

00:21:21.880 And actually, there was a whole concern, unfounded, of course, of an overpopulation and loss of resource as a cause of the climate change.

00:21:31.160 Of course, we're seeing now, the stats are coming in, that by comparison to the year 1800, when there was approximately eight children per woman, now we're down to about 1.6 or so.

00:21:42.360 And this is well below the replacement rate.

00:21:46.820 And so there's real concerns now that we're going to just die out, you know.

00:21:50.760 Now, of course, God is in his heavenly temple and on his throne, and we have nothing to fear because he is in control.

00:22:01.960 But nonetheless, it is a concern.

00:22:04.080 It should be of no surprise when we've put into motion these ills that actually counter the children, anti-children elements.

00:22:15.760 In terms of the worldview conflict at hand, the sexual behavior that we're seeing on the Pride Parade and during this time is the behavior, a bit like this iceberg, and it's the tip of the iceberg.

00:22:29.340 It's a visible part that we see, but really, there's an underlying worldview.

00:22:33.760 And the underlying worldview that's underpinning the LGBT agenda is really a pagan worldview. 0.66

00:22:40.480 It's a worldview that's rooted in the fertility cult and antiquity.

00:22:44.260 It's old as can be.

00:22:48.160 And this is part of the driver here.

00:22:50.860 It's deep down, it's diametrically opposed to our Christian understanding. 0.61

00:22:55.620 And as a result, then, it's a cultural attack, and particularly an attack on Christianity.

00:23:03.000 This message from the gay community, it's online, and it says, we'll convert your children. 0.97

00:23:07.320 It happens bit by bit, quietly and subtly.

00:23:09.680 You'll barely notice it.

00:23:11.160 And so it's very much an attack.

00:23:13.880 We saw this quite clearly last summer during the Paris Olympics.

00:23:17.620 And I was quite interested in the Paris Olympics myself because it was 100 years after Eric Little did his remarkable run.

00:23:24.540 If you didn't go watch the movie Chariots of Fire, you'll remember Eric Little and the remarkable Christian hero that he was.

00:23:32.340 And so I thought, oh, 100 years later, you know, it'll be kind of interesting to kind of tune into Olympics and the like.

00:23:40.020 And I was shocked to see on the opening ceremony this reality where they had a depiction then of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, The Last Supper.

00:23:52.660 And so in this image that I'm showing you, on the top is the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, and on the bottom is Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece.

00:24:02.440 And you can see there's a perversion of The Last Supper, an actual mockery of the Christian culture through that. 0.98

00:24:08.840 And a closer-up view of the Paris Olympics, we see that really it's a cultural attack that focuses on gender confusion, sexual immorality, and redefinition of the family.

00:24:21.360 Which are really core identities of Christianity, gender, sexuality, family.

00:24:28.800 These are core issues.

00:24:31.000 This gets down to the fundamental of who we are, our anthropology, as image bearers, male and female, and our calling to be fruitful and multiply.

00:24:45.360 So, by contrast, then, we have biblical sexuality, which I'd like to spend just a moment to review.

00:24:54.180 And really, we have to remember that sex is God's idea, and it's a gift from Him, a good gift, and our sexuality reflects His very nature.

00:25:04.580 In a very real way, our sexuality is part of our image bearing.

00:25:10.520 And we're told, or understand this, in terms of how it requires some protection.

00:25:16.700 We've got to take care.

00:25:17.600 A bit like this fireplace here, where you have a fire, and a fire is wonderful.

00:25:21.660 I love sitting before a fire in the winter and watching the animated flames.

00:25:25.680 But if the fire was on my living room, my carpet of my living room, it'd be a different story, and it'd be out of control and be a disaster.

00:25:33.500 And such is the case with our sexuality as well, if it's not contained within the parameters, the guidelines, the restrictions that God has set in place.

00:25:43.340 As the Song of Songs Solomon wrote,

00:25:45.440 Do not stir up or awake in love until it so pleases.

00:25:48.940 And so we have to take care of this and protect our sexuality. 0.98

00:25:53.300 And really, there are two alternative sexual expressions that God blesses in Scripture.

00:26:02.640 One, heterosexual monogamy, marriage between one man and one woman.

00:26:06.700 And chastity, with the singular view of really blessing the Church to make disciples.

00:26:12.760 So sexual behavior outside of these two expressions, then, is inappropriate for a follower of Christ.

00:26:19.260 And really, this biblical sexual ethic can be thought of in terms of, you know, at its center, there's a complementariness.

00:26:27.680 There's a covenantal companionship that is set in place.

00:26:31.660 So God created man in his own image.

00:26:33.660 The image of God, he created him male and female.

00:26:36.040 He created them as complements.

00:26:37.900 And they have separate roles and responsibilities, but the husband and wife are very complementary.

00:26:46.820 And the two of them together, then, reflect a greater, and reflect, then, God's image more vividly.

00:26:56.520 And so it's a wonderful example of the complementariness, then, of the male and female bond.

00:27:01.980 And, you know, when it comes right down to it, all the anatomy and how it all works, it's about procreation and reproduction.

00:27:19.860 And we are told in Scripture to be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it,

00:27:24.220 and emphasize that children are a gift from the Lord, a reward from Him.

00:27:28.580 This is a celebration, and where infertility, then, would be an exception and really mirror the fall that we are in

00:27:36.920 and the trouble that we experience as fallen creatures.

00:27:42.040 And the one fleshness.

00:27:44.240 So we have this functional unit within sexuality.

00:27:49.740 It's not just a physical oneness, but it's an intellectual oneness, an emotional oneness.

00:27:55.260 And, you know, for couples, we do premarital counsel.

00:27:58.620 It's a financial oneness, too.

00:28:00.220 So, you know, share a bank account.

00:28:02.160 And so it's a oneness.

00:28:03.540 There's a one person, a one functional unit that's created, then, within the biblical sexual ethic.

00:28:09.620 It's very beautiful.

00:28:11.040 And we read, as Apostle Paul said in Ephesians,

00:28:14.120 For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and two will become one flesh.

00:28:19.760 This is a profound mystery.

00:28:21.380 I'm talking about Christ and the Church.

00:28:23.060 So really, in a very real sense, the marriage covenant and the biblical sexual ethic within marriage gives witness to and reflects the mystery of exclusive love and commitment of Christ for the Church.

00:28:41.300 And we get to witness that to the culture abroad.

00:28:44.940 We get to demonstrate God in this way to the world and make him visible.

00:28:49.920 And fourthly, the biblical sexual ethic, a key element, is self-giving.

00:28:56.620 It's self-giving.

00:28:57.360 This reflects God's very nature.

00:28:58.740 It's self-giving.

00:28:59.780 Jesus dying for us, for our sins, sacrificial death, self-giving.

00:29:05.320 And Paul details that self-giving in Ephesians beautifully that we review in our premarital counsel with couples who are submitted to one another out of reverence for Christ.

00:29:15.500 And so it's a beautiful giving as part of the biblical sexual ethic.

00:29:20.100 And then lastly, it's sacred.

00:29:21.980 And we're told in Hebrews, the marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure.

00:29:26.640 So these are the kind of key elements, then, of purity, fidelity, and the light that really reflects God's very nature.

00:29:36.800 And we can celebrate that.

00:29:38.420 And when we are following this and we understand that, we see flourishing.

00:29:43.240 And we see flourishing in every way, and with children as well.

00:29:47.700 Now, the society at large and the agenda that we're talking about tonight is really promoting a non-biblical sexual ethic.

00:29:57.600 It can be thought of, quite simply, as just the polar opposite.

00:30:00.940 What God has put together, it separates.

00:30:03.680 What God says to keep separate, it puts together.

00:30:06.620 So it's like the opposite.

00:30:08.060 We're not sure.

00:30:09.080 I wonder what's going on in society today.

00:30:11.460 Just think opposite.

00:30:12.260 So instead of complementary covenantal companionship, we have androgyny.

00:30:18.960 So we have a blurring.

00:30:19.980 We no longer have a sacred distinction of male-female, but really a blurring of those distinctions and all sorts of genders.

00:30:28.820 And really, the gender ideology then treats men and women as interchangeable.

00:30:34.700 There's no distinctions.

00:30:35.580 So this sexual revolution of this age of Aquarius has really become the age of androgyny, not male or female.

00:30:45.320 And I'm sure you've seen people, but you're not sure.

00:30:47.420 I wonder if that's a male or a female.

00:30:48.480 I can't really tell.

00:30:49.480 And this is part of the whole tactic then, gender neutralizing.

00:30:55.500 And the pronouns that are used, the preferred pronouns that are used are often then, you know, they, them, are gender neutralizing as well.

00:31:02.840 Instead of reproduction, we have recreation.

00:31:06.880 There's an uncoupling, really, of the sexual act from the responsibility and commitment to marriage and parenthood.

00:31:17.380 It's for fun.

00:31:19.140 And so it's a reduction of sexuality to something that's very self-focused.

00:31:26.520 And instead of the one flesh, we have promiscuity and even an encouragement of promiscuity.

00:31:34.180 Don't knock it till you try it, we're told.

00:31:37.040 And so we have loss of fidelity.

00:31:40.200 And sex then becomes an end in itself, not a means of reflecting God's love and design.

00:31:44.920 And rather than self-giving, as the Bible outlines, it's self-gratifying.

00:31:52.920 It's a taking sort of love.

00:31:54.760 It's a lust.

00:31:56.120 It's where we get eros from, erotic.

00:31:58.660 And it's all focused around me, protecting my desires and my wants rather than giving to the other.

00:32:07.140 Rather than sacred, of course, it's profane.

00:32:09.560 And everything good and true and righteous is turned upside down and perverted.

00:32:15.920 And so there we have, then, sexual immorality in an umbrella term.

00:32:21.040 And sexual immorality, then, is this chaos that we find ourselves in, look around our society, in particular, at this time of the year.

00:32:29.220 And as we know from 1 Corinthians 6, we are to flee from sexual immorality, honor God with our bodies.

00:32:35.600 We cannot domesticate sexual sin.

00:32:38.220 It's far too dangerous.

00:32:39.560 And we must flee from it.

00:32:42.080 And that is a calling for all of us to fall on.

00:32:47.820 Now, there are consequences to this.

00:32:50.080 And the consequences are many and concerning.

00:32:52.760 I'll just outline some of them.

00:32:54.140 But at the centerpiece is that when we reject God's creational norms,

00:32:59.140 when we say no to what God has made clear in His design,

00:33:03.920 and we allow our subjective feelings, then, to override objective biological truth,

00:33:10.280 we come to this confusion.

00:33:13.120 The gender spectrum is a good example of the confusion. 0.97

00:33:16.380 We have untold numbers of genders. 0.93

00:33:19.080 We have the mnemonic 2S, two-spirited, LGBT, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, Q, queer, or questioning.

00:33:30.640 I, standing for intersex, which is actually a fairly rare hormonal and genetic abnormality,

00:33:38.680 which represents sexual developmental disorders, not identities.

00:33:41.940 But this is a group of unfortunate scenarios medically, but they're not for someone to have as their identity.

00:33:53.700 And plus, really means that there's more.

00:33:57.100 There's agender, there's bigender, there's trigender, there's polygender, intergender, gender fluid, xenogender,

00:34:05.760 you know, beyond human understanding, and the like.

00:34:08.380 And so, it just goes on and on and on, really add infinitum to absurdity.

00:34:14.560 And this is the consequence.

00:34:16.660 And, of course, people that are trapped in this kind of ideology and indoctrinated into it,

00:34:22.600 it doesn't go well for them, despite what the media may show us on TV shows and movies where everyone's happy.

00:34:34.380 And I see this in my work.

00:34:37.100 I work downtown hospital at the Royal General Hospital, and I see the folks that are struggling.

00:34:44.800 And the folks that are struggling have, really, confusion around their identity.

00:34:49.660 They don't know who they are as a result of this confusion.

00:34:54.600 Their core values that are in question, their significance, their acceptance, their security, defined by their sexuality,

00:35:01.360 is that sexuality can define those things. 0.76

00:35:05.440 And they have higher levels of depression than we see, anxiety, drug abuse, addictions.

00:35:10.820 And there's issues of sexual abuse, of course, and infections that can come with that, homelessness, prostitution, and even suicide.

00:35:21.700 It's a terrible scenario.

00:35:23.960 And, of course, if we put the bar that high in terms of our sexuality,

00:35:29.240 this is not surprising, because sexuality can't meet our core needs.

00:35:35.660 Then we have this indoctrination that Tanya was talking about already.

00:35:39.220 And it's a systematic indoctrination in the public school system curricula.

00:35:43.800 And, you know, to the point that parents aren't able to even opt out,

00:35:47.140 or haven't been until more recently in this province of Alberta.

00:35:50.940 It's a normalization, then, of homosexuality, gay marriage, transgenderism. 0.97

00:35:55.240 This is thought of as normal.

00:35:57.700 And what's happened in the medical community is there's been an emergence then of what's called a rapid-onset gender dysphoria.

00:36:05.160 It's this, like, mass hysteria, really capturing, in particular, the minds of teenage girls.

00:36:12.960 It's akin to the anorexia bulimia that we saw in the 80s when I started in medicine,

00:36:18.980 and in some of the issues that occurred in the 90s with false memory syndrome,

00:36:31.320 where people were, women in particular, young girls, were accusing others of sexual abuse

00:36:36.520 when actually it hadn't happened, pretty sadly.

00:36:38.820 And then we have the whole area of women's sports, and the mockery that's occurred there. 0.95

00:36:48.160 We have full-grown men competing against women and against girls,

00:36:52.380 because they identify as a woman.

00:36:54.780 This is a picture of William Thomas, who goes by the name of Leah.

00:37:00.680 And he's dominated the pools in the States from the University of Pennsylvania in the past.

00:37:05.500 He tied Raleigh Gaines, who is an all-time American swimmer,

00:37:11.080 and really has created the no-safe space for women and girls,

00:37:15.840 and really has been part and parcel of displacing feminism. 1.00

00:37:19.900 And this is where transgenderism ideology has really taken over.

00:37:23.800 So we can't even define, then, what a woman is, according to this ideology. 0.99

00:37:30.080 And then we have a deconstruction of family, of marriage, and parenthood.

00:37:35.500 The family's been redefined.

00:37:37.780 And in Canada, we have multi-parent families.

00:37:40.660 Believe it or not, four, a child's birth certificate could have four separate parents on it today in Canada.

00:37:48.120 And so it's a confusion for everyone, in particular the child growing up in that kind of confused environment.

00:37:57.040 Polyamory, we're told it's called.

00:38:01.260 And then lastly, I wanted to present was the deplorable area of what's been termed transgender medicine. 1.00

00:38:10.520 And transgender medicine includes hormonal interventions and surgical interventions

00:38:15.120 that are geared to try to change one's sexuality to the opposite sex.

00:38:26.140 And interestingly, just last month, the Department of Human Health Services

00:38:30.380 has published a large systematic review of this,

00:38:33.880 and looking at the treatment of pediatric gender dysphoria review of the evidence and best practices.

00:38:40.200 And they found very poor quality medical support for such practices

00:38:47.440 and make the conclusion that it's clearly ideologically driven practice.

00:38:54.620 And they call it irresponsible that we should proceed with such radical treatment for minors

00:39:01.060 and really that it's misguided for minors as well.

00:39:06.800 And so there's recent robust evidence, medical evidence, to support this.

00:39:12.080 It's not just that it counters the biblical sexual ethic, which it certainly does.

00:39:16.120 Just to detail that just a little bit more, in terms of the hormonal interventions,

00:39:22.620 we're talking about medications that are termed or dubbed puberty blockers,

00:39:28.180 hormones that help to delay puberty, used even for children as young as nine years of age.

00:39:33.600 And these medicines have, we actually don't know, to be honest with you,

00:39:38.120 we don't know what they're going to do in the long term.

00:39:40.520 And we haven't been using them long enough in this kind of scenario.

00:39:43.020 You know, and we know that there's issues with them in other scenarios.

00:39:46.580 But here, this is a brand new area.

00:39:49.580 And it's a bit like the COVID vaccine, you know.

00:39:51.420 We don't know how it's going to go, but let's just mandate that everyone has to take it.

00:39:55.740 You know, it's confusing that, you know, when we don't know something,

00:39:59.640 we'd have such broad sweeping mandates.

00:40:02.900 And, you know, a child has a feeling, has a feeling that they have a sexual discordance.

00:40:13.060 And then we act on it with medications that really have serious long-term health troubles.

00:40:19.780 And then there's the cross-sex hormones that are used to help spur on the secondary sex characteristics of the optic sex.

00:40:25.860 And both of these medications then have issues.

00:40:30.260 And the issues are, you know, even include heart issues, cardiovascular and long-term cancer risks.

00:40:37.040 But there are, you know, troubles with bone density and cognitive function

00:40:45.800 and a whole horde of concerns that can happen with these medications, you know, metabolic disorders and the like.

00:40:56.520 So the hormonal interventions then are being used broadly and a real concern for us.

00:41:01.640 And secondly, and I show these next slides with some reservation because they're graphic and quite disturbing.

00:41:10.300 But in terms of the surgery for sexual reconstruction, they talk about the tops surgery, the upper body surgery, and the bottoms surgery.

00:41:22.140 And so it's spoken of within the medical community.

00:41:24.500 And in terms of the top surgeries, the upper body surgeries, there are feminizing surgeries, and there are masculinizing surgeries.

00:41:33.220 And here are some images.

00:41:34.740 And the feminizing top surgeries then involve, you know, to create, to feminize a man, a man's anatomy, to feminize it, make it look more feminine, more female-like.

00:41:46.580 There's breast implantation, and there's the tracheal shave, so we don't have the Adam's apple anymore, the dead giveaway that you're talking to a male.

00:41:55.300 You don't want that.

00:41:56.480 And actually, there's some facial feminization that can happen as well to make the face look more female than male. 0.89

00:42:03.540 And there's the equivalent on the other side in terms of masculinizing top surgery to create the, at least from a distance, the impression of more male than female anatomy.

00:42:18.760 And that includes the mastectomy with chest masculinization and how they position the nipples, for example, after the mastectomy to make it look more male than female.

00:42:29.660 And here's images of the tracheal shave on top and the mastectomy with the chest masculinization on the bottom.

00:42:36.860 And very sad.

00:42:37.880 You know, and once this happens, you don't go back.

00:42:41.200 You know, it's not a backward opportunity here.

00:42:45.480 It's a one-way street, and it's being done earlier and earlier in folks, and it's just a tragedy.

00:42:54.160 And that's the upper, that's the most common.

00:42:55.700 That's the top surgeries and the most common surgeries that are done when they're done.

00:42:59.660 But then, thankfully, less common, and then the celebrities don't usually go down this road, we have the bottom surgery. 0.64

00:43:06.980 And the bottom surgery, there's the feminizing bottom surgery. 1.00

00:43:11.040 And this is to help make the male look more female. 0.99

00:43:16.240 And here we have the penectomy, which is the removal of the penis. 0.99

00:43:19.380 Orchiectomy removal of the testicles. 0.97

00:43:23.700 And what's been termed a vaginoplasty, which is a surgical creation of some mimicking of the vagina. 1.00

00:43:31.700 None of this works, of course.

00:43:33.580 But there's some visuals.

00:43:36.680 And, again, I'm reluctant to show you a visual.

00:43:39.580 It's quite disturbing, but I will.

00:43:41.340 So if you'd like to avert your eyes, you go ahead. 0.99

00:43:44.440 But it's a sad thing when a man has his penis removed because he wishes to, and it doesn't grow back. 1.00

00:43:53.260 It's a one-way thing, and the vagina does not work. 1.00

00:43:57.320 And so it's a non-functioning sexual presentation that they're left with. 0.82

00:44:02.340 And very, it's short of, not anything short of mutilation then.

00:44:09.700 That's how I would view it, as a mutilation from God's design and function.

00:44:15.880 Now, the masculizing bottom surgery is no better, of course.

00:44:20.620 And so to try to create the masculine anatomy, we have surgeries that are typically done. 0.72

00:44:31.200 We'll include the hysterectomy, the removal of the uterus and the ovaries.

00:44:36.680 And that helps to reduce the risk of certain cancers, of course.

00:44:40.120 But then the phalloplasty and the scrotoplasty.

00:44:43.840 And when we use the term plasty in medicine, that's used often to fix.

00:44:48.660 We talk in cardiology, we talk about angioplasty, to fix the blood vessel.

00:44:52.700 It's not really a fix, but we use that term plasty, plasty fix.

00:44:57.040 And here, if I try to apply it to these procedures, I would apply it to fixing more like you fix

00:45:02.460 a dog, you know, sterilization.

00:45:05.000 The result is infertility.

00:45:07.400 And then this is the heartbreak here.

00:45:09.100 And so it's a one-way street, infertility, sterility.

00:45:13.060 And the phalloplasty that's created is typically taken from the person's own body.

00:45:21.920 And there's tissue, a large swath of tissue, typically that's used from the torso, from

00:45:27.380 the arm or from the leg. 0.95

00:45:29.080 And they fashion it into, so it looks a bit like a penis. 0.98

00:45:34.120 By in scrotoplasty, they adjust the labia. 0.99

00:45:39.060 And they have testicular implants that create the visual from a certain distance of testicles.

00:45:45.200 And then the image, again, I'll show it to you briefly here, but it's quite disturbing.

00:45:50.520 And if you want to avert your eyes, you do that.

00:45:52.440 But this is the kind of results that they're getting.

00:45:55.980 What they're showing is the harvest, then, of the tissue that's used for the phalloplasty, 0.97

00:45:59.880 for the penis. 1.00

00:46:01.580 And this organ that the person is left with has some semblance to a natural penis, but 1.00

00:46:09.800 it doesn't work. 0.96

00:46:11.060 It doesn't work, folks.

00:46:11.940 And so that's going to be a big disappointment.

00:46:15.420 And what I've seen in these cases, I've been involved with a number of patients, because

00:46:19.240 they have heart issues, too, and diabetes and the like.

00:46:22.720 And so I get involved with their cases from that side of things, not from the surgical.

00:46:27.580 And there's no short of troubles and infections upon infections and difficulties and disappointment

00:46:36.280 and regret.

00:46:37.360 And it's a sad, sad, sad scenario.

00:46:41.000 And it breaks my heart to grief every time I come into contact with someone in this way.

00:46:47.220 In terms of detransitioning, it's very difficult.

00:46:49.700 It's very difficult for people to go back.

00:46:52.700 And it's a one-way street, really.

00:46:54.640 And they don't have support from the medical community, typically.

00:46:57.880 They certainly do not have support from the LGBT community.

00:47:00.540 They're regarded, really, as the enemy.

00:47:02.240 Happiness is a one-way street.

00:47:03.560 And they're going against the narrative.

00:47:05.280 And so they're often then abandoned.

00:47:07.720 And there's a zero tolerance in the LGBT lobby for detransitioners. 1.00

00:47:13.080 And so they try and silence the very large group of people who are wanting to detransition.

00:47:20.800 And the data has come out very clearly that actually, rather than solving problems, it actually

00:47:25.880 creates problems.

00:47:26.860 And one of the narratives that's put out is that, well, we have to do this, otherwise

00:47:32.740 they're going to kill themselves.

00:47:34.220 You know, we're trying to save lives here.

00:47:35.960 And so I know it's crazy, but, you know, we have to go down this path of gender reassignment 1.00

00:47:40.820 to prevent suicide.

00:47:42.500 And actually, the opposite is quite true.

00:47:44.320 Yes, the LGBT community is at higher risk of suicide.

00:47:47.840 Yes, it is.

00:47:48.420 And, you know, who wouldn't be if you put your whole value on sexuality?

00:47:53.980 But the reality is that post-surgery, post-bottom surgery in particular, the suicide risk goes

00:48:03.140 up.

00:48:04.220 So there's higher suicides after the surgery.

00:48:06.800 And this is seen quite clearly in a large study in 2011, 15 times higher after the surgery.

00:48:15.320 And in the U.S., just this year, there's been published a large review which showed the

00:48:20.700 same kind of data.

00:48:22.140 And interestingly, the researchers for the United States study concluded by saying, what

00:48:29.160 we need is actually better post-operative support for these people, rather than saying, we shouldn't

00:48:34.720 do this surgery.

00:48:35.560 It's actually causing more trouble.

00:48:37.520 They say, we just need more supports, so more money.

00:48:40.020 We need more money so we can carry on.

00:48:42.500 And again, it's very, very frustrating.

00:48:44.340 It just shows that really worldview plays so much to bear in terms of conclusions.

00:48:50.000 It's not just a matter of following the science.

00:48:52.300 It's a matter of listening to the scientist and comparing what he says against reality

00:48:57.780 of God's Word.

00:49:00.320 And then we have examples of detransition that have occurred and do occur, thankfully.

00:49:04.340 But I want a good example is Walt Hare, who was actually lived as a female for about a decade

00:49:10.700 and then came to the senses and said, hormones and sex change, general surgery couldn't solve 0.98

00:49:17.680 the underlying issues driving my gender dysphoria.

00:49:21.480 He came to that realization, unfortunately, after he'd already gone down the path.

00:49:26.120 But nonetheless, he's written a book, Trading My Sorrows.

00:49:29.660 He's got a website.

00:49:31.660 He's biblically married and a speaker.

00:49:35.140 As is, there are others as well.

00:49:37.320 Laura Perry comes to my mind.

00:49:39.140 And she wrote a very good book entitled Transgender is Transformed.

00:49:43.400 And she also talks about her regret and the difficulty of that detransition.

00:49:49.840 So there are these consequences then.

00:49:51.460 We've got this culture war at hand.

00:49:53.060 We've got this identity crisis at hand.

00:49:55.380 And, you know, what do we do?

00:49:57.320 What's a faithful response to this?

00:49:58.900 And how should we respond?

00:50:01.080 Now, I would say that our response then has to be this tension, this balance between grace and truth.

00:50:06.840 A bit like a bow and arrow where you pull it and you feel that tension on it.

00:50:10.320 It's only going to work if there's tension, if there's a slack bow, you know, good luck trying to hit the target.

00:50:15.420 And if we want to be effective, then we have to maintain this tension between the exclusive claims of Christ, the truth.

00:50:22.960 We cannot compromise truth, but also the inclusive compassion in Christ.

00:50:27.820 We have to be able to reach out with care and concern for individual people.

00:50:32.400 And so if we capitulate on the truth of the gospel, then we forfeit the gospel.

00:50:38.020 We don't have it.

00:50:38.560 We don't have the redeeming power of it.

00:50:40.640 But at the same time, if we fail to reach out with care and compassion, then we don't have a relationship to be able to share the gospel message and witness to the truth.

00:50:48.620 And so it is that tension then that's so critical.

00:50:51.940 I try to break this down into two different groups, two different conversations.

00:50:56.620 The same worldview that drives our conversation with two different groups.

00:51:00.440 One is the confused individual where we have to be able to reach out with care and compassion.

00:51:05.640 And the other is the LGBT movement.

00:51:07.460 We really have to stand for truth.

00:51:09.200 And so there is this tension in both of the conversations, but that's how it kind of plays out.

00:51:17.340 And when we respond to the confused individual in terms of grace and reach out and care and compassion, we do so from a platform of truth.

00:51:26.060 We don't compromise truth.

00:51:27.260 So trying to love the lost without truth is really a false kindness, and we do them no favor.

00:51:34.220 Now, I had my experience with the non-heterosexual community back in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic.

00:51:40.880 So that's when I cut my teeth in medicine, and my job was caring for men mainly.

00:51:46.760 My age at the time, my 20s, were coming in with all sorts of unusual infections and cancers and dying.

00:51:52.980 And they didn't die immediately, like in a heart attack kind of death.

00:51:56.500 They died slowly.

00:51:57.640 And so it offered me the opportunity to get to know them and to meet their communities, their families, their lovers, talk with them, hear their stories, walk with them through their illness, for which we had no remedy.

00:52:13.740 There was no remedy at that point in time.

00:52:15.560 There was no AZT.

00:52:16.840 There was only antiretroviral therapy.

00:52:18.400 And so as I got to know these people, my heart broke for them.

00:52:22.720 I didn't agree with their lifestyle.

00:52:24.140 I didn't agree with what they were doing, how they got there, but I was caring for them.

00:52:28.320 I was trying to comfort them and come alongside them in that.

00:52:36.060 And my heart broke for them.

00:52:37.860 And sadly, every single one of them died.

00:52:40.200 Not one survived.

00:52:41.480 And it was a hard thing.

00:52:42.580 I had to care for them and then pronounce them dead.

00:52:45.180 And that has never left me.

00:52:47.020 And so I find myself then on a certain level drawn to people who are confused in this fashion and concerned for them.

00:52:56.880 Now, part and parcel of their community is this, what I would call the gay script, and how they define themselves by sexuality. 0.96

00:53:05.420 And the gay script then really is, you know, these three elements, that same-sex attraction is natural. 0.78

00:53:11.480 It's a natural thing, even God-given, some people will say in the Christian community, that our feelings indicate our core identity.

00:53:18.260 Not biology, it's all about feelings.

00:53:20.540 And the sexual behavior is how we get from fulfilling it.

00:53:23.200 This is how we're fulfilled.

00:53:24.920 We have to have sex with someone of the same gender, for example, and that's how we're fulfilled. 1.00

00:53:31.060 This is the sexual script, and it's really the lies of the devil. 0.76

00:53:35.040 It's not true on any of those points.

00:53:37.380 And our identity has to be formed first and foremost in Christ.

00:53:40.840 If it's not, and I see this all the time, you know, people who have their identities elsewhere, in their work, or elsewhere, in their sport, what have you, in the Oilers.

00:53:51.900 And, you know, you're going to be disappointed, you know, not if they win or lose the cup, but in terms of meeting the needs of our identity.

00:54:00.180 And so, we're talking to an individual that's struggling this way, there is a gospel opportunity.

00:54:06.680 And I think the key thing, then, if we have people in our circle that are confused in this fashion with gender dysphoria, or identify as gay, or transgender, or whatever, what have you,

00:54:18.240 the key thing, then, is to try to maintain the relationship on some level, before it's not sacrificing truth.

00:54:24.180 We have to know where we're coming from.

00:54:25.480 We've got to be real.

00:54:26.680 But at the same time, we have to maintain that relationship, because if we don't have the relationship, then we don't have the opportunity to be able to have godly confrontation.

00:54:37.660 And godly confrontation is, you know, listening primarily.

00:54:40.620 Listening to them, listening to their story, and trying to understand, you know, what was it that was driving this.

00:54:47.540 And in that process of relationship, then, there's opportunity to witness to the saving faith of our identity in Christ.

00:54:55.880 So, there's gospel opportunity here, and it can be wonderful, and there's some good examples.

00:55:02.420 Rosaria Butterfield is one of the best ones I can think of, and all of her books are spectacular.

00:55:07.460 But she said, as a former lesbian, and now pastor's wife with children, she says, we need to seek truth, pray to God of truth, and teach the truth, and we cannot compromise on the truth.

00:55:20.320 And so, that is the key, in terms of how we go forward.

00:55:24.420 And of course, that may not fly, you know, with people, and they may decide to leave the relationship.

00:55:33.340 And, you know, we can't force things, but at the same time, we can't compromise the gospel.

00:55:41.160 We don't add to the confusion.

00:55:42.840 So, the whole area of using pronouns, should I use them or not, or whatever.

00:55:45.900 And God is not a God of confusion, but a God of peace.

00:55:49.360 And so, I will not use those pronouns.

00:55:51.760 I will not do that, play that game.

00:55:54.660 And this is, as I said, really a gender-neutralizing tactic, and not to be something that we should do.

00:56:03.600 It's really perpetuating a lie.

00:56:05.920 And so, I won't do that.

00:56:08.440 I will use, and I have used, a patient's preferred name.

00:56:11.920 You know, if a fellow wants to be called Nancy, I can do that, and I find when I do do that,

00:56:17.260 really the anxiety levels come down, and I have more opportunity for interaction.

00:56:21.340 But I won't go down the pronoun game path, nor attend a gay wedding. 0.99

00:56:27.300 The marriage was an institute by God, and the wedding ceremony really is a worship service from beginning to end.

00:56:33.900 And the Bible is bookended by marriage, with Adam and Eve, and then the Lamb of God at the end.

00:56:40.400 And so, what fellowship does light have with darkness?

00:56:45.400 We won't attend a gay wedding, and we have to sin no more. 0.95

00:56:52.980 Our prayer for this couple would be, not that they'd have a happy marriage,

00:56:58.880 but rather they would come to their senses and annul that vow they've made, and break up.

00:57:07.720 So, we can't go to the wedding to celebrate it, the ceremony rather than to celebrate it.

00:57:13.200 In terms of responding to the LGBT movement, this is more complicated in a certain way, a little bit more scary.

00:57:20.620 And I can understand that there's been different responses that have been disappointing.

00:57:26.220 There's been, you know, from antagonism, you know, where we have a nasty response, you know, a really a petty rash response,

00:57:34.260 to silence, you know, where we have a nothing kind of response, we don't want to talk about it,

00:57:37.600 we don't want to be inflammatory, and we're a coward.

00:57:42.180 Or we have an affirmation response, and we just want to be nice, and we want to be so-called loving,

00:57:48.540 and we have a confused response, especially from a church perspective.

00:57:53.660 And none of these responses, then, is the faithful response that I would suggest.

00:57:57.460 I was involved in this about 10 years ago, during the David Eggins NDP era in Alberta,

00:58:05.840 and they had published the gender diversity best practices guidelines for our schools,

00:58:12.300 and were foisting on our children, really, an indoctrination.

00:58:16.580 Myself and a colleague wrote a detailed medical letter, not using Christian speak,

00:58:22.800 but using medical data, using citations from papers that we had researched and read and put together,

00:58:31.840 and outlined our concerns, that they were medical concerns, and in part parental concerns,

00:58:36.960 but really, we're focused on the medical side.

00:58:39.700 And, not surprisingly, it didn't go well.

00:58:43.720 And the, but I still felt, you know, we both felt really compelled to do this,

00:58:48.080 and the letter went viral at the time, and we were actually castigated and brought before the University of Alberta.

00:58:56.520 All four years of the medical students were present, and there was a petition that was signed

00:59:02.280 that we should lose our credentials at the University, which, you know, take a bit of doing to get, you know,

00:59:08.220 and so it was a distressing time.

00:59:12.000 But as things played out, the students that knew us, that would come to our homes,

00:59:17.200 I would host Christian students, medical students, dental students at my house,

00:59:21.040 and they actually stood up for us and defended us, and we were exonerated and just given a slap on the hand,

00:59:28.960 don't do that again, that kind of thing.

00:59:31.100 But we were able to maintain our credentials to continue our practice.

00:59:36.000 So it's a difficult area to be in the public sphere,

00:59:39.680 and yet today, the pendulum seems to be turning at least south of the border,

00:59:44.120 and we're seeing this tide turning, and there's been a number of remarkable heroes.

00:59:51.160 I mentioned Riley Gaines, who swam against Will Thomas, and she wrote a book,

00:59:56.500 Swimming Against the Current.

00:59:58.100 Billboard Chris, he's a Canadian, a father, and really a campaigner, an internet sensation,

01:00:05.900 who's countering the whole LGBT ideology.

01:00:11.460 Abigail Schreier, who wrote her very important, Irreversible Damage,

01:00:17.600 and she was actually removed from, she was cancelled, 0.90

01:00:22.320 and Target, I know, took her off the list of authors.

01:00:26.260 Then we have Ryan Anderson, who wrote,

01:00:28.720 When Harry Became Sally, and he also was cancelled.

01:00:32.680 And they, all four of these people, really were in hot water for a time.

01:00:38.400 But now, in our current era, have been exonerated, and are having their voice,

01:00:45.740 and people are listening.

01:00:46.960 And so there is a reignition, then a public debate on these issues.

01:00:53.260 And it's wonderful.

01:00:55.460 We have, on the financial side, what I refer to as the Mulvaney moment,

01:01:01.740 where Dylan Mulvaney was actually, he was a TikTok personality, transgender,

01:01:05.240 and was used by Bud Light to advertise their beer.

01:01:09.640 It resulted in a remarkable loss, over a billion dollars for Anwiser Bush in sales.

01:01:16.020 As people, their target audience, did not like that very much.

01:01:20.440 And it was the go woke or go broke.

01:01:22.800 And Walt Disney has felt the same thing.

01:01:26.840 And so they've lost millions of dollars to the box office with their ideologically bent animated films for children.

01:01:36.900 For example, the Win or Lose series, they actually rewrote,

01:01:41.060 and they pulled the transgender storyline altogether because of that concern over the bottom line.

01:01:45.520 And then there's been, in the automotive industries, a movement away from the whole DEI,

01:01:51.200 the diversity, equality, and inclusiveness.

01:01:57.620 And no longer, then, the DEI hiring or LGBT training is required.

01:02:03.540 And then we've seen, south of the border, of course, the executive orders proclaiming only two biological sexes

01:02:08.420 and halting DEI programs.

01:02:11.300 There's been a ban on transgender surgery in the States by executive order.

01:02:18.280 There's been protection of women's sports as well by executive order.

01:02:22.820 And that was a happy day for Riley Gaines, who's there in the picture.

01:02:27.500 And then in the UK, there's a remarkable Supreme Court ruling

01:02:31.740 to find a woman by biological sex under the equalities law.

01:02:37.480 It's a giant win again for sanity in the UK.

01:02:44.460 We have a defiling of abortions.

01:02:46.700 Planned Parenthood is being defunded in the States.

01:02:49.540 And regardless of how you might feel about our election we had in Canada and the outcome,

01:02:54.340 we now have 42 pro-life members in Parliament.

01:02:57.920 And this is an increase by number of six.

01:03:00.640 And so there is a certain movement, even in Canada,

01:03:03.300 even in this liberalized country that we're seeing.

01:03:06.880 And so the narrative that's often put out there that's inevitable,

01:03:14.540 there's nothing we can do, is wrong.

01:03:16.900 And it's false.

01:03:17.580 And we can push against that.

01:03:19.700 And in the province of Alberta, where I am, Premier Daniel Smith has done remarkable work

01:03:24.280 in terms of banning transgender surgery and puberty blockers,

01:03:27.940 men competing in women's sports, parental opt-out for sex ed,

01:03:31.920 and parental notification regarding pronoun and gender ID change.

01:03:36.600 So this has been a tremendous advance in our province, Alberta.

01:03:39.240 I hope that we carry widely to support these people.

01:03:42.800 And there's been some good work done for a Pride pushback across the nation.

01:03:48.000 We see the National Pride Flag Walkout Day.

01:03:51.640 We see a ban on Pride or porn books, you know, school of porn books that focus on LGBT, 0.96

01:03:58.760 as mentioned earlier by Tanya.

01:04:00.900 And companies are dropping sponsorship.

01:04:02.420 We saw that this now with the Toronto Pride, that there is a Home Depot, Google, Adidas, Nissan,

01:04:09.860 they're all pulling out.

01:04:10.760 They're not supporting the Pride parade in Toronto.

01:04:13.620 It's just gone too far.

01:04:17.040 And so our job then, our call, is to stand firm.

01:04:21.340 We stand firm.

01:04:22.100 And I think that, you know, the key thing is that we hold on to the gospel message.

01:04:25.160 We encourage its full council proclamation, and we stand behind that.

01:04:30.600 And this is, as Charles Spurgeon said, the proclamation of the living gospel of Christ,

01:04:38.260 the whole of it will meet the whole of the ills of our society.

01:04:41.620 And so I think Charles Spurgeon's notes then was really what he said in his day, you know,

01:04:47.560 meets our current era today.

01:04:49.900 And we need to teach Christian worldview to our children.

01:04:53.360 We need to equip them and prepare them to identify these lies and be able to say,

01:04:57.840 not so, and to be able to have objective biblical truths to be able to stand on,

01:05:03.780 and to be able to understand how they can frame these complex ideas and understand them,

01:05:10.800 so they can have meaningful conversations with people and not be duped and trapped by such ideologies,

01:05:19.220 and to help others who are duped and trapped by those ideologies.

01:05:22.840 And third and lastly, then, we promote church community and communities in general.

01:05:29.260 And in the States, at Princeton University, Dr. Robert George is promoting what they're calling the Fidelity Month

01:05:35.680 and celebrating really our commitment to God, our spouses, families, and communities.

01:05:42.160 And I would say, that's good.

01:05:44.040 That's a positive spin on the whole Pride season.

01:05:47.660 You know, rather than just saying, no, no, no, we say, how about yes, but yes to fidelity?

01:05:53.320 And it's a beautiful idea, and I love that.

01:05:55.960 But in all of this, then, we need to stand firm.

01:05:58.700 And Jesus said, I'm sending you out like sheep among wolves, therefore be shrewd as snakes, innocent as doves. 1.00

01:06:04.800 Not nasty as serpents and stupid as pigeons, as Preston Manning would say, 1.00

01:06:09.840 but we need to be shrewd and innocent. 0.99

01:06:13.160 And Martin Luther said, the loyalty to soldiers is proved when the battle rages, and the battle's raging here.

01:06:22.080 And so, there's opportunity.

01:06:24.780 And I think what Action for Canada is doing, and has done, and is doing presently,

01:06:30.140 we need to get behind that and support them with our monetary help and with our active involvement.

01:06:37.780 So, with that, I'll just leave with my resource list here, and I'd be happy to share any, or speak to any questions or comments or concerns.

01:08:54.260 Well, thank you so much, Dr. Fenske.

01:08:56.620 This has been just an amazing presentation.

01:08:59.140 Looking at the chat, people were commenting on how you have gone through and articulated it so well

01:09:05.580 and said churches should be talking about this.

01:09:10.080 And just for our viewers as well, because some of them, you know, may be attending a church and say,

01:09:15.500 oh, my goodness, I think this would be wonderful if our church would have you on and speak to their congregation.

01:09:22.600 Is there a link anybody can get in touch with you to do this?

01:09:27.100 Yeah, quite easily.

01:09:28.480 I mean, I speak with Apologize Canada, for example, and the information there, that's a common link.

01:09:35.580 And I'm at the Ezra Institute.

01:09:38.480 They're, you know, based through the UK, Canada, and the States.

01:09:42.280 And I can be contacted there.

01:09:45.140 Maybe easier through Apologize Canada, though.

01:09:47.660 I also, I'm an elder at the Fellowship Baptist Church in Edmondson, and I can be contacted directly there through the office as well.

01:09:55.200 So Fellowship Baptist Church, Apologize Canada, would maybe be the easiest routes for connection. 1.00

01:10:00.500 But I'd be delighted to speak to these issues and in those settings.

01:10:05.500 Well, I think it's so important how I came to know about you is one of our key chapter leaders in Alberta had come to an event,

01:10:16.360 and her life has been impacted personally within her family of one of her children being taken in, you know, by this ideology.

01:10:27.440 And I remember her saying that she had come to one of your presentations at a church, and that afterwards she spoke to you, and she was filled with emotion.

01:10:37.400 And she said that you are so compassionate, so understanding, the fact that you'd listened.

01:10:42.760 I mean, there's a lot of people that are going to view this who are in that situation because of the level of mass social contagion due to what's being taught in the school,

01:10:52.440 and how many parents and families are being torn apart right now as they navigate through this.

01:10:57.900 So is there anything specific that you would say to those parents, any advice that you could give them?

01:11:06.780 Yeah, well, you know, they're not alone. It's tragic. I remember that interaction.

01:11:12.340 Yeah, we wept together, as I recall. But I found a very good resource.

01:11:21.800 The top there on my list was Rosaria Butterfield's book, Five Lies, Our Antichristian Age.

01:11:27.780 And she wrote that book in particular for the parent who's struggling here.

01:11:32.280 I mean, it could be used, and many people would benefit from the book, but she wrote it, and she says this,

01:11:38.760 And so in the introduction, this is for you parents who are struggling with your children who have been duped and brought into this false ideology, this trans ideology.

01:11:49.380 And the emphasis that she makes, which I would wholeheartedly agree with, and this is my own experience as well, is that we have to maintain a relationship.

01:11:58.540 And it's not easy, you know, because sometimes, you know, unless you do this, then I'm walking out, mom and dad, or what have you.

01:12:08.400 It can be very difficult to maintain a relationship, and we don't want to compromise.

01:12:12.560 But at the same time, if we don't have some level of relationship, then, and, you know, I've talked to many parents who don't have any relationship anymore,

01:12:22.560 and they've tried, they've even wanted to, they've written letters, and they can't contact them, and it's a real tragedy.

01:12:31.080 Of course, we have prayer in those cases, you know, and we know the power of prayer.

01:12:36.180 But if we do have relationship, then there is some wiggle room, because it won't go well for them.

01:12:43.780 It's not a happy ever and happy ever after ending.

01:12:46.680 Well, I think as well, if we're going to look to Scripture as well, we think about the prodigal son.

01:12:51.500 I mean, we don't know all the reasons of why he rebelliously left his father and ended up sleeping with the pigs.

01:12:58.260 And, you know, he came back with a repentant heart, but that father was looking down the road every day, waiting for his son to return, and many, many parents.

01:13:09.020 And it's not just on this issue, it's on other issues where they have an absent child who's closed that door.

01:13:14.900 And I believe that that continuous prayer for that child, that God would just be a comforter, that he would convict them in their spirit as well, and bring them home again.

01:13:26.160 And that there's no use if you're in that situation thinking to blame yourself as well, that you somehow are to blame that your child closed that door.

01:13:34.600 They've been heavily indoctrinated.

01:13:36.120 And what I'm going to do shortly is I'm going to go back to our web page.

01:13:41.320 I'm going to provide some immediate resources for parents that, you know, all of a sudden I've said previously that their 14-year-old daughter, 12-year-old daughter is coming home and trying to, you know, say that she's now a boy and provide her parent a new name.

01:13:57.340 And their parent's going, what?

01:13:59.020 How did this happen?

01:13:59.900 You know, I've been working two jobs or however, and they didn't see this coming.

01:14:04.320 So we've got a resource at the top of our political LGBTQ page, which shows K-6, the indoctrination of your child in the school system, based on their resources that they're providing to teachers of how they plant these seeds in a child's mind. 0.94

01:14:20.780 And then the activist in the next grade, they come and water it.

01:14:24.960 And then it continues to do that until they're in grade six or seven, join the Gay Straight Alliance clubs at school.

01:14:30.740 And they have groomed them to do these allyships between the friends and the parents become the enemies very quickly at the time when that child makes that decision.

01:14:40.780 And so for parents, what you should be doing is being on guard for your children.

01:14:46.300 You should be interacting with them.

01:14:47.980 And I made a mistake earlier when I was talking about this book in kindergarten that the teacher, sorry, that the librarian had read.

01:14:56.260 It was called Jack.

01:14:57.700 And it was a little girl coming home.

01:15:00.060 Her name was Jackie.

01:15:01.060 And now she identifies as Jack.

01:15:03.360 And this is kindergarten.

01:15:04.600 So you can see this is happening in that school.

01:15:07.720 And I can bet you that 99.99% of those parents have no idea their children were exposed to that.

01:15:14.900 And it's happening en masse, countrywide, on a regular basis.

01:15:18.980 Next week, we're going to be doing a program on homeschooling again.

01:15:22.460 We have all those resources on our web page.

01:15:25.020 It's a 911 call to get kids out of the school system.

01:15:28.880 And if you can't, then you have to engage them in regular conversation.

01:15:32.920 How was your day?

01:15:33.720 What happened?

01:15:34.660 And if they're exposed to this, you go to the principal.

01:15:37.540 And you start making complaints until there's change within your school.

01:15:40.840 And you start notifying other parents.

01:15:43.440 Yeah.

01:15:43.820 Yeah.

01:15:44.240 I know during the NDP time here in Alberta, they said the mantra was every child, every class, every day.

01:15:51.480 Yes.

01:15:51.880 This is just an unrelenting, systematic indoctrination that was the forerunner of this.

01:15:58.560 And so, you know, I mean, my boys went through the school system years ago.

01:16:03.720 But, you know, today, I wouldn't put them in that.

01:16:07.740 You know, currently, the tide's changing here in Alberta.

01:16:10.620 But still, I'd be very, very concerned.

01:16:13.080 And still, you know, we know that feet around the table time, the time with family, like the mealtime, the bedtime routine.

01:16:21.000 This is critical.

01:16:22.420 This was the key times when my wife and I were able to instill Christian value and speak into these issues in gentle, winsome ways.

01:16:32.340 Yeah.

01:16:32.960 And as parents, be active.

01:16:34.900 I remember my kids are 29 and 31.

01:16:37.540 And when my son was in kindergarten, I believe, they were coming out with the one dad, two dads, three moms, blue moms, or it was some weird name.

01:16:46.840 And there was three of these books and the activists were at it trying to push them.

01:16:49.920 And at that time, I wasn't, I don't consider myself an activist.

01:16:54.480 I'm advocating for our kids and to uphold and lobby government to uphold our constitution and charter and keep this out of the school.

01:17:01.980 So I would consider back then as well, I got actively involved in saying, no, you know, this is not appropriate to bring this in the school.

01:17:09.500 And at the time, we won.

01:17:10.960 And it was overturned.

01:17:12.040 But, you know, this group do not give up.

01:17:15.320 And so they've got a lot to lose right now.

01:17:17.040 They're losing a lot of ground in Canada.

01:17:19.240 And I just want to encourage parents, I mean, you know, don't worry about what anybody else thinks.

01:17:25.400 You are the guard and the protector of your children.

01:17:29.720 And if you don't like what's going on, you need to verbalize that.

01:17:32.880 And you'll be amazed at how many parents actually agree with you.

01:17:35.680 So be bold and courageous is one of the things that I would add as well.

01:17:39.540 Yeah.

01:17:39.960 Yeah.

01:17:40.180 So very much, this is a sacred cow.

01:17:42.480 And it is a sacred cow because it comes out of this long history of the sexual revolution.

01:17:47.740 It's got deep, deep roots.

01:17:49.580 And it's not just a new, I mean, it's exponentially developed that we're seeing before our eyes.

01:17:54.880 And it's taken us aback.

01:17:56.440 But it very much, if this is another area, the medical community would have been the first or whatever.

01:18:03.180 You know, there would have been a pushback right away.

01:18:05.140 But sexuality, sexual immorality, you know, this is something that we just can't, you know, 0.97

01:18:10.420 we can't talk to that.

01:18:11.840 And we cancel that.

01:18:13.220 We coerce there.

01:18:14.460 And it's the trouble.

01:18:15.380 It's been really insidious.

01:18:16.660 And I mentioned many times on the show about my old uncle, Ed.

01:18:20.620 He passed away last year.

01:18:21.760 And he would always say a lighthouse on shore is a beacon of hope to the sailors at sea.

01:18:26.300 And by us proclaiming truth for those kids that have been groomed and lured and indoctrinated into this ideology that we keep, you know,

01:18:36.920 they're taught and trained, you know, to oppose, you know, the government and those that are opposing them.

01:18:43.260 Well, not our government, but you know what I mean.

01:18:45.060 They oppose the man and those that are objecting to what they've been indoctrinated with.

01:18:49.440 And yet over time, it's those truths and being that beacon that they're going to look to that is steady and unchanging,

01:18:57.080 speaking that same truth until they come to a point, you know, where they can receive that.

01:19:02.460 And we've had Sarah previously on the show who is indoctrinated at the age of 14 with a trans person that came and said,

01:19:10.320 if you're uncomfortable in your body, you're, you know, you're struggling with gender ideology.

01:19:14.900 And so if they fast-tracked her on a human hormone blockers, cut off her breasts that was paid for by our tax dollars at the BC government. 1.00

01:19:23.920 And from there on, and it was when she was in her twenties that she realized how deeply she'd been deceived and that she wasn't gay or lesbian or anything at all.

01:19:33.520 And that she was actually attracted to boys.

01:19:37.660 And so seriously, parents, people, friends, citizens, this is 9-1-1.

01:19:43.460 And your images that you showed, I'm grateful that you did that.

01:19:48.980 People need to have a reality check.

01:19:50.440 They need to be upset seeing those images because this is mutilation.

01:19:54.920 This is going to affect these individuals' lives.

01:19:57.880 And there are long-term effects.

01:20:00.900 This is not a comfortable procedure even afterwards, what they have to go through to maintain these surgeries, even if they can.

01:20:08.200 And, you know, this generation is going to have a lot to answer for.

01:20:11.860 And as far as women, you know what? 1.00

01:20:14.440 Trans, drag queens, I mean, we should be outraged by this as women. 1.00

01:20:19.460 They're trying to eliminate what a woman is. 1.00

01:20:22.080 And it'll never happen because we are God's incredible design.

01:20:25.620 We're the ones with the womb.

01:20:27.940 And the devil hates that.

01:20:29.280 He hates reproduction.

01:20:30.820 He hates God's design.

01:20:32.580 And as well with men, not to be emasculated, you need to stand on the front line for your children and your families.

01:20:40.260 So in, oh, there was one other thing as you were going through, a lot of this is like sort of in response to your presentation.

01:20:47.900 But the one thing I wanted to address as well is as they put Bill C-4 in place, conversion therapy ban, you can't bring your child to a counselor or to a pastor or a psychiatrist, you know, to find out what the root of this is.

01:21:02.280 They don't want you finding out the root ever of sexual types of abuse, or it could be physical or emotional abuse that a child, sometimes sort of childhood trauma that has led a lot of kids generally to be either identifying as gay and lesbian.

01:21:17.820 Now it's fast-tracked because of the schools.

01:21:21.140 We can identify that.

01:21:22.980 But this is, there's an abuse going on of our kids.

01:21:26.760 They're abusing their innocence.

01:21:29.600 And then this is, as an outcome, is protecting the abuser.

01:21:35.820 If you wrap your head around that, they don't want you to know who's sexually abusing, indoctrinating, or, you know, harming your children.

01:21:44.860 They're going to protect these activists at every level they possibly can.

01:21:49.260 And they're going to fail, and we're not going to stop until that happens.

01:21:53.040 Right.

01:21:53.460 And so it is a whole agenda and movement that is not static.

01:21:58.140 It's dynamic and moving forward.

01:22:00.500 And so we're seeing this in the whole realm of pedophilia.

01:22:03.840 And, you know, this is remarkably disturbing because it's marching forward, and it's like the pornography play.

01:22:11.840 It's not just Playboy magazine or a certain kind of screen thing.

01:22:17.080 It's just moving forward and taking people to such depth of depravity.

01:22:22.480 And so it really does require our pushback, and as you're saying, with urgency.

01:22:29.040 Mm-hmm.

01:22:29.460 And we're winning the world over.

01:22:31.000 I'm glad that you had those good news reports as well at the end of the presentation.

01:22:34.120 Yeah, no, it is exciting.

01:22:35.720 We have to hear those to know it's effective.

01:22:38.100 You know, we're not victims to this.

01:22:39.700 We're going to be overcomers, and we need to stay on track.

01:22:43.360 So we're going to wrap up the show now.

01:22:45.520 Is there any closing words that you would like to say to our viewers?

01:22:50.440 Well, I mean, you know, take heart.

01:22:51.900 And this Sunday is Father's Day, and so we need to get behind our fathers as well.

01:23:00.580 They've really been demoted. 1.00

01:23:02.500 You know, in our pop culture, you know, the father is the idiot. 1.00

01:23:07.020 And so very much, they have a very negative view. 1.00

01:23:13.340 And this comes out of, again, this whole ideology, this anti-patriarch ideology.

01:23:19.600 And so we should support him and encourage him to be a man after God's heart.

01:23:25.440 Absolutely. Amen to that.

01:23:28.540 Well, thank you so much for coming on the show.

01:23:30.960 Now that I know about you and that you have multiple topics you talk on, we'd love to have you come back on as a guest again.

01:23:36.920 I'd love to. That'd be wonderful. Thank you.

01:23:38.720 Yeah, and just thank you for the work that you're doing.

01:23:40.860 May God continue to bless you and your service.

01:23:43.900 All right. Thank you.

01:23:46.360 All right. Well, thank you, everyone, for joining us.

01:23:48.460 As promised, I'm just going to share my screen again for a moment because I really don't want you to miss out on some of these resources.

01:23:56.000 But first of all, at the top of our political LGBTQ page, you'll see this click here to find hope and inspiration.

01:24:03.040 If you're from the LGBTQ community and you're really struggling and you've got a war and a battle going on,

01:24:09.420 maybe you came on tonight just to criticize and you're afraid and whatever is driving you has brought you here to watch this.

01:24:19.140 Maybe after we posted on Rumble, I encourage you to come in into this page and listen.

01:24:25.440 Listen to some of the videos that we've provided.

01:24:28.060 This lady here gives her personal testimony of how she, as it says here, how Jesus redeemed her gender confusion.

01:24:36.160 And I think it's really, really important to know that you can have healing and recovery from this.

01:24:41.240 We're not out here to get you.

01:24:42.980 We're not out here against you.

01:24:44.880 We're actually very much on your side.

01:24:47.040 You just don't realize it yet.

01:24:48.400 As for those of you who are needing resources, this is at the very top of the page.

01:24:53.820 The resource I was telling about, the SOGI toolkit, teaching resource, which completely 100% shows you from K to grade 6,

01:25:01.380 how they are indoctrinated, grooming and sexualizing your children.

01:25:04.140 If you go down to page, there's so many great resources here.

01:25:08.820 I want to bring to your attention as well, this video with Sarah.

01:25:11.980 She's the detransitioner I was telling you about. 1.00

01:25:14.720 Amazing testimony.

01:25:16.360 If a parent calls me up and is, you know, going through this and trying to navigate it,

01:25:21.320 I say, before you even have a conversation, just watch the SOGI toolkit video and this,

01:25:27.120 and you'll understand what they've done to your child.

01:25:29.400 And then we can try to figure out how to proceed from here.

01:25:32.740 If you go down, you will see other resources on different types of stats that if kids are just left on their own,

01:25:38.960 normally as far as questioning if they're gay and lesbian, 80 to 95% of children with GD will accept the reality of their biological sex.

01:25:47.780 And that there's a 20 times higher, greater rate of committing suicide.

01:25:51.960 Once people get sex reassignment surgery, you can understand that because now they're realizing their bodies have been mutilated.

01:25:57.960 It isn't quite the, you know, what they thought the dream was going to be.

01:26:04.400 There's a lot of side effects from the surgeries and the drugs, and it's very, very difficult for these people to navigate.

01:26:12.640 In 2018, there was a 4,500% increase in girls seeking to transition to the opposite sex, which is like impossible to do.

01:26:20.640 You can only imagine what that is now in 2025 after 10 years of this being in our school systems in Canada.

01:26:30.360 It's really, really crazy.

01:26:31.880 If you go all the way down to the very bottom, you will be able to scroll and see amazing guests that we have had on and other important information.

01:26:40.200 Dr. Ann Gillies has been on.

01:26:42.500 Alex Newman has just been amazing in covering this and the history of it, as has Audrey Warner.

01:26:47.280 So please use that resource page.

01:26:50.100 And then in closing, next week, I mentioned that we're going to be discussing homeschooling.

01:26:55.000 June is the time that parents are really starting to think about and consider, especially as we're being hit with so much of the LGBTQ agenda during the month of June. 0.90

01:27:05.080 And we just want to encourage you and see if we can help facilitate you in making that decision to really do what's in the best interest of your kids in pulling them out of the school system and trying to help you navigate how could you possibly juggle that and make it work.

01:27:20.080 We're calling out to grandparents.

01:27:21.940 This is the time to come around your kids and your grandkids and support them.

01:27:25.340 Their minds are so formative during this time and fragile, and once their innocence is lost, it is really lost for good.

01:27:34.080 It can't be recovered in the way that we would hope or like.

01:27:37.700 Not to be that they can't be restored, but we have to protect their innocence because it really changes their mindset and is extremely damaging.

01:27:47.500 That's why pornography is one of the major things they're pushing in the schools because it really damages the minds, sometimes very, very permanently for specific kids.

01:27:57.440 The scripture for the day is it would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

01:28:07.500 And that's from Luke 17.2.

01:28:09.420 These individuals that are pushing these agendas, it's not going to bode well for them, and we're not calling for murder or anything of the like.

01:28:16.480 We're trying to give you a comparison that God takes it extremely serious, that when you harm children, that the consequences will be severe.

01:28:26.020 That's his judgment, not mine.

01:28:28.860 I'm the messenger.

01:28:30.240 I love Hans.

01:28:31.260 He does such amazing images for Action for Canada when we're having special guests on.

01:28:36.800 And as you can see, these people have decided that they're letting go of all things LGBTQ.

01:28:42.040 They're going into the church and you can be, you can recover, you can be redeemed.

01:28:47.860 And then the path, the other path chosen is definite ruination.

01:28:52.240 And you can put two and two together on that one.

01:28:55.840 The final scriptures from 1 John 1.9.

01:28:59.520 If we can confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

01:29:07.940 And so I just want to encourage you and, yeah, what more can we say?

01:29:13.740 Please share this video with others and knowledge is power.

01:29:18.940 Parents, it's no way, there's really no way that parents in Canada can ignore this any longer.

01:29:25.520 You would have to be pretty much living under a rock or you are completely uninvolved in your children's education if you don't see what's going on with all of this activism.

01:29:35.540 So please, please take the responsibility very seriously to protect your children's hearts and minds.

01:29:41.620 All right.

01:29:42.400 Thank you so much.

01:29:43.320 I look forward to seeing you on the show next week.

01:29:45.760 God bless you and God bless Canada.

01:29:47.620 God bless you.

01:29:54.540 That's what I've got to say.

01:29:55.820 Look at this crowd.

01:30:00.320 I'm going to thank God and God alone for the ground that I'm standing on.

01:30:07.460 I'm going to thank our founding fathers for giving their lives and sacrificing so much

01:30:18.880 for our freedom.

01:30:22.820 And I'm calling on you today.

01:30:26.200 Don't put them to shame.

01:30:28.240 Don't waste what they did.

01:30:30.280 We have guaranteed rights in this country.

01:30:37.460 We are putting chapters across the nation.

01:30:44.640 We are going to be in every town and every city.

01:30:48.180 And we are going to build communities within these communities of like-minded people who

01:30:53.440 are actually going to care for one another again and love on each other and give each

01:30:57.860 other the help when they're down.

01:31:00.040 We are going to use the teams and the people that built within chapters to support our businesses.

01:31:07.460 The government's actions are completely, 100% unlawful.

01:31:14.180 Judgment will again be found on justice and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.

01:31:21.680 You have a virtuous heart if you are here today pursuing freedom and righteousness.

01:31:29.900 And then verse 23 comes along with a promise.

01:31:34.780 God says he will turn the sins of evil people back on them.

01:31:40.320 He will destroy them for their sins.

01:31:44.320 I take great comfort in that because I serve a mighty living God who has allowed us to go

01:31:55.160 through this season of discomfort because we as a nation have turned our backs on him and

01:32:02.040 we need to get right.

01:32:03.580 So I am just going to thank you so much.

01:32:08.180 I'm going to say God bless you and God bless Canada.

01:32:11.980 God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless You and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and Him and God bless you and God bless You and God bless you and God grace you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and City Hall of

01:32:41.980 Thank you.

01:33:11.980 Thank you.
