When Mary said, let it be done to me according to your word, she didn't know what her future
00:00:05.640
She knew that saying yes to God's plan would come with uncertainty, risk, and sacrifice.
00:00:11.660
And yet through her simple act of courage, she brought the savior of the world into the
00:00:17.780
Today, countless mothers face their own version of that moment.
00:00:21.240

Epic City, the Islamic city in the state of Texas that was set to be built, hasn't actually
00:01:14.640
And is there anything that Texas politicians can do about that?
00:01:18.340
Also, this month marks the 10-year anniversary of an Islamic attack in France that strangely
00:01:28.040
But there's also some good news on today's episode.
00:01:30.740
Christian music is taking over and it is changing maybe how people think about God and marriage
00:01:39.360
We've got all of that and so much more on today's episode of Relatable.
00:01:42.560
It's brought to you by our friends at Kexi Cookies.
00:01:51.300
Now is the time to buy you a box of Kexi Cookies.
00:01:55.160
Give it to your co-workers or give it as a gift to people in your life or as a gift to
00:02:24.860
God's eternal plan of redemption is going off without a hitch.
00:02:28.280
No matter what is happening personally in your life, no matter what's happening politically
00:02:35.540
He's never looking down at your life or America or the world saying, oh my gosh, I did not see
00:02:46.680
He is sovereign over all of it and his eternal plan of redemption, him calling his people to
00:02:53.100
himself, him gathering his flock of sheep, all of that is proceeding forth completely and
00:03:01.200
Job 42 too reminds us that nothing can thwart the will of God.
00:03:14.020
But God's sovereign will, his desire for things to go a certain way in history cannot
00:03:22.600
be thwarted by anything we think, say, or do because he has all the power.
00:03:32.120
That means that the only thing that we are responsible to do in any given moment is not
00:03:36.980
to control the outcomes of our own lives, of our children's lives, of the political election,
00:03:44.160
It's to do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God.
00:03:48.440
That means stewarding our responsibility as a citizen well, as a mom well, as a wife well,
00:03:53.460
as an employee well, as a student well, as a friend well, as a church member well, as a
00:03:59.040
As a Christian well, that means stewarding every moment for the glory of God with the
00:04:03.540
best Holy Spirit-empowered excellence that we possibly can, having the faith that God
00:04:10.680
is going to take care of us and that the outcomes, the conclusions of all of this are totally
00:04:21.480
And we read in the book of Lamentations that God's mercies are new every morning.
00:04:28.560
He's not holding grudges against us, but his mercy through Christ is new every single day.
00:04:34.820
So no matter how you sinned yesterday, no matter how you failed yesterday, the shortcomings
00:04:39.420
that you just can't seem to get over, the obstacles that you seem to never be able to overcome,
00:04:50.000
His mercy for you to be a patient mom and a loving wife and an excellent student or employee
00:04:55.920
or obedient in whatever realm you're in, that mercy for you is abundant and it is ready
00:05:03.020
Open up your Bible, pray, seek forgiveness if you need to seek forgiveness, offer forgiveness
00:05:12.360
God's mercies are new for you and you are never too far off and you're never too far gone.
00:05:17.920
So let us start today thinking of these things, because as we get into the subjects for today,
00:05:26.520
Some of them are encouraging, actually, but we're going to start with one that is troubling.
00:05:30.640
And the reason that we talk about some troubling things is not because we want to be paranoid.
00:05:34.620
It's not because we want to be stuck down in the mud of, you know, distress or anxiety,
00:05:40.860
but we need to understand what's happening in our world.
00:05:44.000
The world and the country and the culture that our children are going to inherit, we have
00:05:49.420
to care about that and we have to know what's going on and we have to think about how do
00:05:54.080
we engage in a responsible Christian way to raise a respectful ruckus for the things that
00:06:00.440
matter, to push back against the darkness, to be salt and light in a world that is dark.
00:06:05.160
And that includes in the realm of culture and politics.
00:06:07.940
That's not too difficult or divisive for a Christian.
00:06:11.680
That is exactly one of the places where Christians need to be, because when Christians retreat from
00:06:18.380
any space or any sphere, it just gets darker and more chaotic and innocent people pay the
00:06:24.660
That is certainly true when it comes to the Islamification of the United States, which is
00:06:31.940
Like, there's so much debate on, you know, what really matters, like on the right right
00:06:36.780
You have some people that will say, no, all of our problems are actually coming from Israel.
00:06:40.960
All of our problems are coming from one group of people.
00:06:44.380
And that's not to say we can't criticize any other country.
00:06:47.740
Of course we can, or that we shouldn't put American priorities first, because of course
00:06:52.260
But that seems to be a distraction from the real problem that is happening right now.
00:06:57.480
And that is the increasing dominance and pervasiveness of Islam in all of our communities.
00:07:05.260
You'll remember when we talked about Epic City.
00:07:07.400
This was the Muslim-centered neighborhood that was planned around the East Plano area.
00:07:14.220
And if you're not familiar, I grew up in Dallas, and so I can tell you that Plano is pretty
00:07:21.200
It depends on which part of Plano you're talking about.
00:07:23.680
But it's a suburb of Dallas, of North Dallas, and Plano, like Frisco and Louisville, and a
00:07:30.400
lot of these North Dallas suburbs didn't have become extremely ethnically diverse.
00:07:36.620
They are hubs for a lot of new commerce, a lot of new businesses that are kind of importing
00:07:42.220
a lot of H-1B workers and simply a lot of immigrants into Texas to work these jobs.
00:07:52.600
So Epic City, as I said, this was a Muslim-centered neighborhood that was planned actually in
00:07:59.480
Josephine, Texas, but based on kind of coming out of something called East Plano Islamic
00:08:11.140
We talked about it at the time back in April amid a federal DOJ probe that was sparked by
00:08:18.240
And other Texas leaders that were concerned that a Muslim-exclusive neighborhood would
00:08:24.640
discriminate against Christians and Jewish people or push Sharia.
00:08:36.960
And because of the controversy, they said, okay, we're not going to do this, even though
00:08:40.780
the people who said they were going to start Epic City, that they would be welcoming to everyone.
00:08:58.200
We're just going to rename it something very seemingly innocuous and inviting called The
00:09:04.060
So this is not supposed to be a separate city, but it's supposed to just be a neighborhood
00:09:12.360
that happens to be extremely friendly to Muslims.
00:09:17.680
This would be a 402-acre community that includes over 1,000 homes, a K-12 Islamic school, a mosque,
00:09:25.500
senior and assisted living, apartments, clinics, shops, a community college, and sports fields.
00:09:33.560
You should be able to see on screen what the layout is actually supposed to look like there.
00:09:53.000
But it is centered on wanting to create a neighborhood, wanting to create a large community
00:10:00.960
Legally, they wouldn't be able to tell someone who is Jewish or who is Christian, hey, get
00:10:11.660
A Community Capital Partners is the name of the company behind the project.
00:10:18.140
Collin County Judge Chris Hill informed residents via Facebook post on November 8th that Community
00:10:25.280
Capital Partners is preparing to submit their plans to the county for review.
00:10:31.320
Now, no PLAT, that's a detailed map of what the neighborhood would be, has actually been
00:10:37.580
But reports suggest CCP, not to be confused with the Chinese Communist Party, again, that's
00:10:42.840
Community Capital Partners, who's planning to build this neighborhood, has either filed
00:10:46.640
plans or plans to file soon with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to establish
00:10:52.520
a municipal utility district that handles water sewer drainage for the meadow.
00:10:57.400
OK, so it does seem like the plans are moving forward, but we don't know exactly when or what
00:11:06.480
And look, you could say one argument is that, look, people are allowed to do what they want
00:11:11.560
If Jewish people wanted to do this, if Christians wanted to do this, they could, which I'm sure
00:11:17.300
I think it would be much more controversial in the mainstream if Christians said, hey,
00:11:21.740
we are going to establish this community and we're going to name it after a church.
00:11:28.400
And this is where Christians are going to live.
00:11:31.460
It's going to be centered around this particular church.
00:11:34.480
There's going to be a Christian school, Christian bank, all that.
00:11:39.640
Um, but there would be a lot of controversy if any other religion besides Islam or besides
00:11:46.740
one of those Eastern religions, um, uh, was doing this.
00:11:51.520
And the reason why people are upset about it, um, at least people on the right, Christian
00:11:57.560
conservatives is simply because of the cultural change that it causes simply because when you
00:12:04.680
have a high concentration of Islamists in one area, there is a concern about how that changes
00:12:16.780
We don't believe that all faiths and all worldviews are the same.
00:12:19.820
It is extremely fair for people who have lived in a predominantly Christian country, um, that
00:12:28.800
That was first when it was founded primarily for Christians to say, how is this going to
00:12:41.300
When you have a people who believe entirely in Sharia, who have an entirely different view
00:12:48.080
of women and human worth and rights and right and wrong, it is totally fair to ask, is that
00:12:55.300
congruent with the constitution is that congruent with the American community that we have created?
00:13:03.940
The problem, Charlie Kirk talked about this a lot is not individual Muslims.
00:13:08.660
It's Islam as an ideology, Islam as a collective belief system.
00:13:14.060
And when you look throughout the world at the fruit of Islamic collectivism, the result has
00:13:20.040
been chaos and violence and the degradation of the human person and human dignity.
00:13:26.660
When you look at migrant crime trends throughout the world, especially in Europe, you see that
00:13:33.380
migrants from Muslim majority countries are disproportionately responsible for crimes, including and especially
00:13:43.440
So I don't want to hear anything, well, this is just like a Christian community, or this is
00:13:48.400
just like a Jewish community, or this is just like any other community.
00:13:51.620
It's not, because not all belief systems are the same.
00:13:59.260
So totally justified for people to be concerned about this.
00:14:02.800
And we'll talk about some of the legality behind like, okay, what can you actually do when
00:14:10.040
But I just want to say, if you're concerned and you don't know how to put words to why you're
00:14:18.720
When you know that about 99% of all worldwide designated terrorist groups are Islamic, you
00:14:28.520
have good reason to say, huh, do we want a high concentration of people who buy into that
00:14:33.760
ideology to have their own basically independent system here in the United States or in the
00:14:42.920
By the way, this is not just a trend that's happening in Texas, in the red state of Texas,
00:14:50.460
Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor for the day.
00:14:56.900
Seven Weeks Coffee is America's pro-life coffee company.
00:14:59.940
They're on a mission to fund the pro-life movement by supplying you with really great tasting,

Coffee goes to a pro-life pregnancy center across the country.
00:15:18.680
They have donated over $1 million to these pregnancy centers.
00:15:22.660
That has translated into saving thousands of lives.
00:15:25.940
So just by you allowing your coffee to serve a higher purpose, you have served moms, dads,
00:15:33.480
You have enabled these women to then hear the gospel at these Christian pregnancy centers,
00:15:38.280
all because you are buying coffee from Seven Weeks Coffee.
00:15:41.220
They're called Seven Weeks Coffee because it's Seven Weeks Gestation.

00:15:58.600
Plus, when you use my code ALI at checkout, you save 10% on your order.
00:16:08.280
Okay, let me just tell you that I am going to have to put the rest of our ads kind of
00:16:15.480
closer together because I waited 15 minutes to do the first one, which is a little too
00:16:22.640
Okay, let's talk a little bit more about the Islamification specifically of Texas.
00:16:27.780
Texas actually has one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States, estimated
00:16:36.700
I would guess that it's probably more than that.
00:16:39.240
Texas had 224 mosques in 2020, and over the past five years, that's just grown, but that
00:16:49.060
As of October 15th, 2025, so here's that exact number, there were 330 mosques listed in Texas.
00:16:56.680
So continued growth there, of course, that's still smaller than the number of churches,
00:17:06.660
But anytime you see this kind of significant growth, it's worth looking at.
00:17:11.660
At a Josephine City Council meeting, remember, this is where that epic city was going to be,
00:17:16.780
an Armenian-American resident of Collin County took the microphone to share a chilling personal
00:17:21.920
warning drawn from his family's persecution at the hands of the Ottomans who practiced Sharia.
00:17:28.300
He warned the Muslims will be civil until they become the majority.
00:17:32.460
That should sound familiar to you if you watched my episode with Raymond Ibrahim.
00:17:39.800
Once they get to a certain point in a culture, they start to ravage it from within.
00:17:45.720
Understanding what their whole intent is, it's not the typical Muslim that you come across.
00:17:55.120
But when they get to a certain point where they have to do a certain thing, they're going
00:18:00.380
to be forced into it, whether they like it or not.
00:18:03.860
And the problem that we see in society is they don't speak up against it.
00:18:10.020
Of course, you can see that in Muslim-majority countries, and you can see that in places in
00:18:16.320
And again, go listen to my episode or watch my episode with Raymond Ibrahim.
00:18:21.280
He is a scholar and historian who has wrote several books on the history of Islam and what
00:18:29.880
And this is the difference between Medina and Mecca.
00:18:32.580
When Muslims are in the minority, they will take on many of the values and the kind of disposition
00:18:37.700
of the majority culture at the time until they become the majority.
00:18:42.860
And again, this isn't necessarily about individual people.
00:18:52.400
If we ask ourselves, well, if they like Sharia, which is Islamic law, which is totally incongruent
00:18:59.100
with American law, and if they want this kind of culture, if they want an entire city and
00:19:03.900
community where there is a majority of Muslims and everything is basically run by Sharia,
00:19:16.900
It is not about, you know, it's not necessarily about evangelism like Christianity is.
00:19:23.500
And it's not even about having their own enclaves for their own enjoyment and protection.
00:19:35.960
That's not just a particular iteration of Islam.
00:19:46.180
So Sharia law is kind of like saying law, law, but I think it's fine to say Sharia law
00:19:52.440
It's a legal and ethical framework that is derived from Islamic teachings, primarily the
00:19:57.020
Quran, very harsh punishments, hand amputation for theft, stoning for adultery, death or leaving
00:20:04.140
Islam, amputation or crucifixion for robbery, insulting Islam leads to death.
00:20:10.980
This is, of course, why you've seen in places like England and France, people who have insulted
00:20:17.300
their prophet Muhammad have been murdered by Muslims who feel like it is their religious
00:20:23.860
The gender rules and roles, women need to be fully covered.
00:20:27.220
Of course, in some countries, this is stricter.
00:20:32.700
They're completely covered head to toe starting from a very young age.
00:20:37.460
Um, and then in other countries, it's just that the hair and the head and most of the
00:20:45.480
Uh, women need a male guardian, um, in their permission to travel or to drive in many Muslim
00:20:51.280
majority countries, education for young girls stops at sixth grade, even if it's, or if it's
00:20:57.560
allowed at all, uh, women's court testimony counts as half of a man's, um, men can have up
00:21:03.240
to four wives in their marriage rules in Sharia.
00:21:06.680
Women cannot have multiple husbands, child marriage in Muslim majority countries is, um,
00:21:16.500
And that is, of course, because the prophet Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years
00:21:22.480
old and supposedly they did not consummate the marriage until she was nine.
00:21:27.380
And so, and of course they revere the prophet Muhammad is basically perfect.
00:21:32.140
And so they wouldn't be able to denounce pedophilia or denounce child marriage without denouncing
00:21:38.640
their own prophet, which of course is punishable by death.
00:21:41.880
And so that alone should give people pause when they say, oh, you know, um, we're just a
00:21:49.460
The more the merrier, the more diverse we are, the more we can learn.
00:22:00.100
And it is actually because of our Christian ethical framework here in America that we have
00:22:05.340
a natural and righteous revulsion to something like child marriage or pedophilia.
00:22:10.500
Because fundamental in the Christian belief is that marriage is for procreation.
00:22:16.540
What do we read in the very first chapters of Genesis?
00:22:19.620
That God made man and woman, not boy and girl, not man and girl, but man and woman, and told
00:22:29.660
So while we don't have the exact ages of Adam and Eve, we see from the very beginning that
00:22:35.260
God created marriage, not only to reflect the marriage between Christ and his bride, the
00:22:43.220
And that is only possible between a man and a woman, again, not a man and a child.
00:22:49.740
So fundamental in Christianity is the idea that sexual relations are exclusive to marriage
00:23:03.360
Um, here is Yasir Qadhi, the imam behind Epic City, explaining some crimes and their respective
00:23:13.320
This is a part of our religion to stone the adulterer and to chop the head off of the, uh,
00:23:20.140
so many sorcerer and so many other, you know, things and to kill, by the way, the homosexual.
00:23:26.020
The fiqh rule in Qasmini, the homosexual, that he be killed.
00:23:31.100
I don't know about this one, but, uh, I have heard this, but I haven't studied this in
00:23:34.860
detail, but I know that his punishment is death.
00:23:40.360
No, we're not allowed to do this in America, you know, but I'm saying if we had an Islamic
00:23:47.720
Now, I will say some of those things were also punishable by death in the Old Testament.
00:23:52.160
However, we are not abiding by, in America today, nor are we responsible to abide by
00:24:01.680
Um, ancient Israel, God's chosen people, abided by the laws that were passed down to them
00:24:09.400
And while the moral laws Christians are still bound to keep today, because Jesus not only
00:24:14.980
fulfills them, but double down, uh, doubles down on those moral laws, the cleansing laws,
00:24:20.760
the legal laws, the procedural laws, we are not bound to today, nor are Christians called
00:24:26.620
to create that kind of theocracy by imposing Israeli law on America today or on any country
00:24:35.380
We believe in infusing light and goodness and truth in God's ways into every sphere
00:24:44.180
That is very different than what you just heard there from that imam.
00:24:49.500
The truth is, is that Sharia courts are already, um, operating in Texas.
00:24:55.920
America's first Islamic tribunal was founded in Irving, Texas in 2015, according to CBS.
00:25:01.760
According to its official website, this institution will serve an important niche in our society
00:25:07.340
because we as Muslims in the United States need to unite on our common belief and creed.
00:25:12.400
I mean, you have to give it to them that they're just, they're asking forgiveness, not permission.
00:25:16.560
They're just proceeding with creating their Islamic state and community and laws and procedures
00:25:23.420
And they are basically bidding people to stop them.
00:25:26.580
And they are very cohesive as a people in a way that Christians simply aren't.
00:25:31.560
Now, I'm not even saying that positively because, of course, their punishment for blasphemy
00:25:37.000
or for disagreeing with each other is very harsh in a way that it's not for Christianity.
00:25:43.100
But, I mean, you got to hand it to their persistence and just the audacity to do something like this.
00:25:49.140
And I think they understand that the fear of coming across as Islamophobic is so great and
00:25:55.320
the toxic empathy is so high toward a purported victim that most people aren't going to say
00:26:10.540
This is another Christian-founded, family-owned company.
00:26:13.840
They are creating high-end, hand-crafted cosmetic and skincare products.
00:26:22.440
I just love knowing that what I am putting on my skin is actually good for my skin.
00:26:27.260
That I don't have to worry about it being toxic or an endocrine disruptor.
00:26:31.260
The kind of toxic ingredients that you find in most products today.
00:26:35.980
So, when I'm not in studio, I'm wearing my Adele Natural Cosmetics makeup.
00:26:39.860
I am using their oil-based essential cleanser every night.
00:26:42.520
I also love that they have Christmas-themed products.
00:26:48.780
And they've got a Bible verse on every single one of their packages because they are the
00:26:53.700
They're unapologetically Christian, unapologetically pro-life.
00:26:57.100
Arlene and her family are just genuine and awesome people.
00:27:00.500
This is the kind of company that you want to support.
00:27:02.620
You'll be glad you did because your skin will thank you.
00:27:06.540
Use code Allie for 25% off your first-time purchase.
00:27:18.900
A 2011 report by the Center for Security Policy claimed that 146 U.S. court cases reference
00:27:25.320
Sharia, with 20% fully deferring to it over American law, often harming Muslim women and
00:27:33.980
I don't even know how that's possible and we don't have time to dive into the details
00:27:43.180
And so I can imagine that it's only gotten worse since then.
00:27:46.600
Now, Greg Abbott, he knows that this is an issue that a lot of people are concerned about.
00:27:57.000
He signed a law a few weeks ago on the outlaws compounds like Epic City, so Muslim compounds.
00:28:06.100
So, you know, a Muslim community can't say, hey, you can't come in here if you're a Christian
00:28:12.440
It prevents selling land to only Muslims, requires disputes to be brought under Texas laws
00:28:21.340
Kudos to the Texas legislature and to Greg Abbott for taking this seriously.
00:28:27.040
He said this, one of the issues at stake is the freedom of religion.
00:28:30.140
Another issue at stake is what's called the right to contract.
00:28:32.780
The fact is religious freedom is a central part of the Texas Constitution.
00:28:35.640
Bad actors like Epic City tried to use religion as a form of segregation.
00:28:40.920
HB 4211 targets the unusual setup the Meadow planned where buyers wouldn't own the land or
00:28:46.820
home directly, but would buy a share in a company that owns everything and grants them
00:28:53.580
Not everyone is content with this move, though.
00:28:57.360
There are people in Texas who think that more needs to happen.
00:29:02.340
Governor Abbott signed HB 4711 a couple months ago, which only prevents the forcing of somebody
00:29:09.660
It doesn't stop them from doing it voluntarily.
00:29:13.040
And as we know, in Islamic culture, it's okay to lie if it advances their cause.
00:29:18.160
This bill did not address that Sharia law and our Constitution are not compatible, and it
00:29:23.240
did not ban Sharia law, despite suggestions otherwise.
00:29:31.840
They want even more action by the state of Texas.
00:29:40.340
But we need people to come to the table with real solutions.
00:29:45.080
And obviously, we are under the Texas Constitution for good reason.
00:29:53.040
And I think it's up to the people down in Austin to make sure that they are coming up
00:30:00.740
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton believes the individuals behind the meadow have broken
00:30:09.780
For example, he said, after a thorough investigation, it has become clear that the developers behind
00:30:14.480
Epic City flagrantly and undeniably violated the law.
00:30:19.700
It must be held accountable for ignoring state and federal regulations.
00:30:23.360
He says, in order to sue and hold the parties behind Epic City accountable, the Office of the
00:30:27.320
Attorney General must receive a referral from the Texas State Securities Board.
00:30:37.740
Wally Kinney to examine the initial findings and corresponding evidence that demonstrates
00:30:43.540
the Epic City Development Project violated the law and subsequently refer the matter back
00:30:47.160
to the Attorney General's office for further legal action if the TSSB agrees with the office's
00:30:55.460
Brent Money is a Republican from Greenville, Texas.
00:30:58.640
He said, stopping the Islamization of Texas is a top priority, but, and this is the general
00:31:04.000
sentiment for a lot of people, I don't know what to do about that.
00:31:08.180
He said, you need to look and see what the Muslim radicals in Texas are saying that their
00:31:13.660
He added, it is not compatible with the Christian nation, which we are.
00:31:19.540
It seems like we're kind of in limbo figuring out, like, what is the political solution for
00:31:24.580
Because, again, for all of the reasons that we listed, constitutional reasons, cultural
00:31:29.000
reasons, moral reasons, like, people have a good justification for feeling uneasy about
00:31:36.820
And by the way, like, you are just allowed to care about the culture and the feeling of
00:31:45.480
You're allowed to notice that the demographics have changed.
00:31:48.820
You're allowed to notice how that impacts your kids, how that impacts, um, uh, how that impacts
00:31:57.820
You're allowed to notice that you're allowed to care about that.
00:32:00.860
You're allowed to want most of your neighbors to celebrate Christmas.
00:32:05.260
Like, you're allowed to want those kind of shared values with your neighborhood because
00:32:10.300
the more different you are, the more difficult it is to have the commonalities that are needed
00:32:18.280
We have to actually trust our neighbors and share some kind of basic understanding of
00:32:24.220
morality and decency with our neighbors in order for us to live in a cohesive society.
00:32:30.560
And there's this book by Robert Putnam called Bowling Alone, where he talks about the, actually
00:32:35.320
the increased diversity in all of our neighborhoods has contributed to a lack of trust that has contributed
00:32:41.820
to isolation and loneliness and kids playing outside less.
00:32:45.960
And I'm not even laying that at the feet of any one type of people.
00:32:52.960
And you can call that bigotry if you want to, but this has been true for all of human
00:32:58.080
And actually the Muslims realize that that's why they are creating neighborhoods that are
00:33:02.200
based on their ideology so that they can be surrounded by people who look like them and
00:33:08.560
But when people who are not Muslims say, well, I kind of want that myself, well, then that's
00:33:15.220
supposedly some kind of supremacy or racism or bigotry.
00:33:20.060
You're allowed to want Christian culture to be preserved in a nation who can attribute all
00:33:26.160
of the good things that we have to Christian ideology and to the Christian worldview.
00:33:34.660
Let's just talk about Islam a little bit theologically.
00:33:36.940
Islam explicitly denies the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the sonship of Christ, and salvation
00:33:43.860
You hear people say, oh, well, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, we all worship the same God.
00:33:48.480
And I even hear people say, well, Islam at least honors Jesus as a prophet.
00:33:53.880
I've even heard people say that Muslims love Jesus.
00:33:56.440
No, they don't believe in the Jesus that we believe in.
00:34:00.700
And of course, Jewish people don't believe that Jesus is God either.
00:34:05.520
Yes, we are all in Abrahamic religions, you could say, but we don't worship the same God
00:34:10.440
because Christians and Christians alone believe in the triune God.
00:34:13.660
We believe that Jesus is God, that the Holy Spirit is God.
00:34:20.120
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?
00:34:26.660
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either.
00:34:31.680
So John 5, 23, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.
00:34:37.060
Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
00:34:41.540
And I also just want to say, and this is very different, but this is why Christianity is distinct.
00:34:49.660
If there is anyone who denies that Jesus is God, that person is not a Christian.
00:34:54.380
Okay, it's not enough to say Jesus was a prophet or Jesus was a teacher or Jesus was a rabbi or Jesus was a son of God or a child of God.
00:35:09.040
This directly contradicts the central message of salvation in Christianity.
00:35:14.300
Western civilization was built on biblical ethics, honest courts, due process, covenant marriage between one man and one woman, monotheism, equal dignity, the rule of law, religious systems denying the true God, fundamentally opposed this salvation.
00:35:43.180
2 Corinthians 6, 14 through 16, do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
00:35:47.320
For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?
00:35:55.080
Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?
00:35:57.440
What agreement has the temple of God with idols?
00:36:04.400
Whenever God's people, this is the fourth point, whenever God's people embraced or tolerated false religions, destruction followed, chaos followed.
00:36:11.860
Psalm 9, 17, the wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.
00:36:18.280
Now, we do have a First Amendment in this country that allows freedom of religious expression.
00:36:26.400
But we should be concerned about the insidious nature of an ideology that is based upon the submission of every individual, every infidel, and every culture, and every country but its own.
00:36:43.080
Because that doesn't allow us to have the freedom of religion that is guaranteed to us in the First Amendment.
00:36:50.360
Number five, Islam claims that Muhammad is the final prophet, but Christianity cannot accept another prophet after Christ.
00:37:05.060
Western civilization's moral structure, law, justice, dignity, came from Scripture.
00:37:29.200
Islamic law, Sharia, derives from a different God, a different moral code, and a different foundation.
00:37:35.460
A society built on another God's law is not compatible with biblical justice.
00:37:42.560
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king, he will save us.
00:37:49.140
So, when a servant of God in the government is not following God, and therefore he does not define right and wrong the way that God defines right and wrong, you get a lot of trouble.
00:38:13.140
We've seen that over and over again in the United States and elsewhere.
00:38:16.180
The Jewish people and the Christian people share one half of Scripture, and so there's a lot of commonality there, a lot of shared foundation there.
00:38:29.340
But when you have someone that denies that, that denies the fundamentals of that biblical worldview, that is going to be incompatible, especially when it's taken to a large scale.
00:38:42.940
Biblical peace is grounded in reconciliation with God through Christ.
00:38:47.220
Islam explicitly rejects this reconciliation and historically spreads by coercion.
00:38:54.400
Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
00:39:00.480
I would also read Psalm 37, and just a reminder of God's promise to us and Christ as his people versus those who are enemies of God.
00:39:10.300
But it's also, I'm just going to, I've just got one more short thing to say about Islam, and then we're going to move on to our next subjects.
00:39:19.660
Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor for the day, and that is Good Ranchers.
00:39:27.920
This is a family-owned company, and you want to support them because they are supporting such an important industry that has been so unfairly treated in the United States,
00:39:39.540
Every bit of Good Ranchers, whether it's seafood, bacon, steak, all cuts of beef, their chicken, all of it comes from an American farm or ranch.
00:39:53.380
It's what we rely on in the Stucky Home and have for years,
00:39:56.400
and especially when we are celebrating this very American holiday of Thanksgiving,
00:40:01.620
your table should be filled with American products.
00:40:11.520
You get that box of meat sent to your front door every month,
00:40:14.460
and right now, when you use my code Allie, you can save $100 off your first three orders.
00:40:24.500
And the third order, you save $30, totaling in $100 of savings.
00:40:40.560
I did not remember this at all, but this is what tends to happen when Islam starts to dominate
00:40:47.900
and they get the political power and the power in numbers.
00:40:52.140
November 13th, so just the other day, marked the 10th year anniversary of the Bataclan,
00:40:57.960
I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing that, massacre in which Islamic State jihadist gunmen and suicide bombers
00:41:03.160
killed 132 people and injured more than 600 people at six locations in Paris, France,
00:41:10.240
including the Bataclan Theater in the country's deadliest peacetime attack.
00:41:23.720
So I would have been paying attention to what was going on in the world 10 years ago.
00:41:28.360
And I mean, maybe I did know about it and I just and I just forgot.
00:41:33.220
But George Fanac, the lawmaker leading a parliamentary investigation into the attacks back in 2016,
00:41:42.180
expressed frustration to the commission that information about the victim mutilations was
00:41:50.380
Testimony said that some of the eyes of certain people in these attacks have been removed.
00:41:54.480
Victims endured eyes gouged out, rape, genital mutilation beyond the initial gunfire.
00:42:00.120
A police witness explained that bodies had not been shown to the families because they
00:42:07.820
Amy Mack of the Rare Foundation is among the voices that argue that the level of violence
00:42:12.580
was not suppressed to protect the privacy of the victims, but to protect the country from
00:42:21.560
some kind of revolt against the French government or against the policies that have allowed these
00:42:29.740
migrants from Muslim-majority countries to come here and to create this kind of violence.
00:42:34.100
I mean, hundreds of French people were disemboweled and raped and tortured and murdered in attacks
00:42:42.420
in Paris by all Muslim men, and you might not even know about it.
00:42:47.880
Just 10 years ago, the attackers were young men primarily of North African origin, recruited
00:42:54.280
in Belgium and France, trained in Islamic State territory in the Middle East, and then returned
00:42:59.080
to Europe, concealed among large migrant flows.
00:43:04.740
Remember this when you hear all of the stories about people being deported and ice raids, and
00:43:11.020
they're trying to evoke that empathy that makes you only focus on those purported victims and
00:43:16.980
forget about the victims in places like France and elsewhere, even here in the United States.
00:43:22.320
You're only focusing on the people that the media wants you to think is the victim, and you forget
00:43:26.440
about the people on the other side of the moral equation. That is when your empathy has become
00:43:30.120
toxic, and it gets you to support policies that are destructive, that are really bad for everyone,
00:43:35.440
that are really bad for innocent people. So through toxic empathy, all of these European
00:43:40.100
countries opened up their borders, and they allowed the infiltration of people like this who killed
00:43:44.960
and raped and tortured innocent women, men, and children. Middle East expert Gilles Capel explains
00:43:54.760
that intelligence services have become highly effective at monitoring online radicalization,
00:44:00.120
but obviously this wasn't enough to stop this. The danger is particularly concerning because it
00:44:05.500
involves younger individuals and is easily influenced by global events such as the conflict in Gaza and
00:44:11.340
Israel. And then agitators exploit this to fuel anger and radicalization. In 2025, French authorities
00:44:17.900
thwarted six planned Islamic extremist attacks involving suspects between the ages of 17 and 22. Huh, I think like
00:44:25.100
at some point, like maybe we made, maybe we made a bad choice. And, you know, as Raymond Ibrahim
00:44:32.720
explained, when people talk about, you know, the wars between Christians and Muslims, and they paint
00:44:40.060
Christians as these agitators and these aggressors who victimized all of these innocent Muslims, that's
00:44:47.040
not really what was going on. It was through agape love for their own innocent people, for their wives,
00:44:53.280
for their children, that these Christian men laid down their lives to try to push back against
00:44:58.820
the darkness of Islam. It was for their, not only their own sake, but the sake of innocent victims that
00:45:07.220
they tried to push back against the scimitar with the sword. I mean, one of the first wars in the United
00:45:13.080
States was against Islamists, the first Barbary war. And this is a way to love your neighbor. It is a way to
00:45:22.640
love your neighbor to push back against, through a peaceful and legal means, the Islamification of
00:45:30.080
the United States. We can look at a place like France. We can look at an event like that to see
00:45:36.880
why this is so incredibly necessary. Nehemiah 2, 17 through 18. Then I said to them, you see the
00:45:46.040
trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of
00:45:51.560
Jerusalem that we may no longer suffer derision. And they said, let us rise up and build. So they
00:45:56.780
strengthened their hands for the good work. The book of Nehemiah speaks to the importance of a
00:46:04.560
barrier around a city or a barrier around a country. I'm not saying that the book of Nehemiah tells us
00:46:10.580
that we have to do this, that we have to have walls, but God does not condemn strong borders. In fact,
00:46:16.560
we see throughout scripture that strong borders are a symbol of control and protection and provision
00:46:23.820
and wisdom. In fact, we read in Proverbs 25, 28, that a man without self-control is like a city broken
00:46:30.580
into and left without walls. And so the comparison there is that a man without self-control, he's going
00:46:37.360
to bring himself and other people to ruin, just like a city that doesn't have any walls, that doesn't have
00:46:43.060
any protections. It is the height of foolishness and irresponsibility, a total abdication of the
00:46:49.960
responsibility to protect your neighbors and to protect your own citizens, to allow the basically
00:46:56.400
unhindered migration of military-aged men from these war-torn countries, from these Muslim-majority
00:47:04.720
countries. It is the opposite of loving your neighbor. It is hatred of your neighbor. It is a way to
00:47:10.360
selfishly virtue signal to make yourself seem compassionate when really you're just outsourcing
00:47:15.520
your compassion to the government and hoping that the bad products of those policies and the bad
00:47:21.860
outcomes of those policies don't affect you. It is so incredibly selfish, and it might be well-intentioned,
00:47:29.000
but you know what they say about the road to hell. It's paved with those. So I think one of the best
00:47:35.000
things we can do is not only restrict illegal immigration, but legal immigration. We should
00:47:41.760
restrict the immigration from certain countries. I wouldn't be mad about an entire moratorium on
00:47:47.380
immigration for the time being until we get our act together and until we figure out how to root out
00:47:53.360
these terror cells. That's most important. And also to make sure that the collective power
00:48:00.040
in Sharia is not subverting our rights and our safety as American citizens. And we got to get
00:48:07.880
serious about that. That is something that people loved about Donald Trump when he first ran. Legal
00:48:13.620
immigration is a really big problem, both in Europe and in the United States. And it's hard for people
00:48:20.260
who are moral relativists to see that. But again, what have we said about three or four times? Not every
00:48:26.280
worldview is the same. Some create chaos. Some create good fruit. And we have to be very discerning
00:48:34.300
about which one is which. And we got to love our neighbors and our families enough to be very,
00:48:39.980
very clear and bold on that. Remember, you have walls. You have a fence. You have a lock on your
00:48:45.580
door. It's not because you hate the people around you. It's not because you hate your neighbors. It's
00:48:49.640
because you love the people inside. Nations are like families. It is our government's responsibility to
00:48:54.640
lock our doors to protect us, to keep us safe. All right. We're going to switch gears in just a
00:48:59.700
second, talk about something a little bit happier and more optimistic and exciting for Christians
00:49:05.280
because, gosh, the dichotomy between light and darkness is so stark. But let me tell you about our
00:49:09.720
next sponsor, and that is Preborn. Y'all, I love Preborn. I'm so grateful for what they do. I'm so grateful
00:49:17.780
for how they serve moms and babies and they're saving lives. They are supplying these pregnancy
00:49:24.060
centers with the supplies they need to help women make the life-affirming choice. For example,
00:49:29.380
sonogram equipment. We know when a woman sees and hears that baby inside the womb,
00:49:33.260
she sees that this is a real human being, not just a clump of cells, like Planned Parenthood tells her
00:49:37.720
that she is so much more likely to choose life. And then these pregnancy centers are supplying
00:49:42.520
these moms with what they need to parent, with what they need to maybe seek out adoptive parents.
00:49:51.260
And so partner with Preborn, especially this holiday season. There's a lot of women who are
00:49:55.360

00:49:59.800
alone. And your contribution, your donation helps make that happen. So go to preborn.com slash Allie,
00:50:05.800

00:50:09.520
but whatever you can donate will help. Go to preborn.com slash Allie.
00:50:19.360
Okay. So in the midst of all of that kind of scariness, what did we say at the beginning?
00:50:23.540
God's eternal plan of redemption is going off without a hitch. And I loved this Wall Street
00:50:27.160
Journal headline. Christian music is everywhere, whether you realize it or not. And this article,
00:50:33.060
this is actually from November 8th, highlighted the growing popularity of Christian music this year.
00:50:37.060
Thanks to artists like Forrest Frank and Brandon Lake, who have marketed their God-honoring music
00:50:42.180
on social media. And we've talked about Forrest Frank quite a few times over the last few months.
00:50:47.220
And I just want to say that Charlie Kirk and I were ahead on talking about this because we did a
00:50:52.840
segment on Fox and Friends when Charlie was co-hosting Fox and Friends a few months ago. I believe it was
00:50:58.440
in August where we talked about this rise in Christian music. And I talked about
00:51:02.740
Forrest Frank and how he is doing such a good job of creating like pop music that is really catchy,
00:51:09.140
that a lot of people want to listen to, that regularly goes viral, but that is totally glorifying
00:51:13.980
to the Lord. The article says, as Christian artists embrace a wider variety of sounds and market songs
00:51:19.800
and market songs savvily on social media, they're rapidly widening their reach. Faith-based music can go
00:51:25.020
viral just like rapper pop songs, and it gains an additional boost from its close relationship with
00:51:29.720
country, which currently dominates the charts. Okay, that's so true. I was just thinking about
00:51:33.980
this, that country music is also having a moment right now. And this is good. Like if I want genres
00:51:40.400
of music to have a moment, it's definitely Christian and country music and not rap music. You can say what
00:51:47.780
you want about that, but it's better. I'm not saying all country music is glorifying to God because
00:51:52.300
that's not true, but it's not as degenerate as rap music. Can we just be honest about that? It's just
00:51:57.100
true. Uh, Brandon Lake has amassed 2.5 billion streams across the platforms. He sang at Charlie's
00:52:02.860
Memorial. It was amazing. Dusty Bibles singer, Josiah Queen. That's one of his songs. I love that
00:52:08.800
song. Uh, he's only 22. He has racked up 515 million career streams. Of course, Forrest Frank,
00:52:15.620
millions and millions as well. Uh, in the first half of 2025, Christian releases outpaced new tracks from
00:52:23.680
every genre except country and streaming growth. That is incredible. Even though Christian music
00:52:29.280
still holds a small slice of the total U.S. listening pie, its portion has grown from 1.7%
00:52:34.580
at the close of 2023 to a solid 2% by mid 2025. That might seem smaller. That might seem small,
00:52:41.680
but it's actually not. This is, uh, edging close to dance and electronic 3.3% share. When artists who
00:52:48.780
most people see as secular come and do these Christian songs, they reach such a larger
00:52:53.300
audience. I've seen so many videos on TikTok where it's like, I'm not religious, but low key
00:52:57.980
Christian music slaps now, uh, which is true. So I'm excited about that. And obviously I think a lot
00:53:04.820
of people have a healthy skepticism when anything that was not mainstream becomes mainstream. You worry
00:53:09.900
about an artist selling out or compromising. Um, I certainly haven't seen that from someone like,
00:53:15.180
uh, for us, Frank. So I think we need to pray for them because we know Satan hates this.
00:53:19.340
Satan hates the gospel going out. Satan hates the name of Christ being glorified in a mainstream way.
00:53:24.340
And he wants these singers to compromise. He wants these singers to love money and fame more than
00:53:29.420
they love glorifying God. And that's not something that's exclusive or special to these people. That
00:53:34.840
is true of every single one of us. Like he will give us, like Satan is content to give us our,
00:53:41.340
like, um, our pride in our theology or our belief that God's favor is tied to money or success as
00:53:49.640
long as we are not giving the Lord our full heart. So pray for those that have platforms,
00:53:54.620
whether it's a podcast or whether it's a singer, pray for protection over them, that God would keep
00:54:01.200
their hearts humble and keep their minds focused on them. But we should be a part of this. Like,
00:54:06.180
even if you listen to any of these artists and you're like, that's not my cup of tea,
00:54:09.300
we should be excited about this and we should be spreading the word because like, we want more
00:54:13.740
people listening to edifying music. It's good for their heart. It's good for their mind. It's good
00:54:17.940
for their lives. And God's word doesn't return void when they hear God's word, when it seeps into
00:54:22.800
their heart, God uses that as a seed planted that he will give growth to at some point, how he sees fit
00:54:28.540
and all of us just play a part in that. And so these people are giving the Lord the praise they deserve
00:54:35.140
and people are listening to that. And that is really exciting. Now, speaking of music,
00:54:40.300
I wanted to talk about this song from Kelsey Ballerini, who is a country music artist, but
00:54:46.860
like a lot of country music, it's like hard to tell between country and pop these days.
00:54:51.400
And she's got this, um, she's got this song that is, uh, very relevant and relatable to a lot of
00:55:00.400
people right now. And I've listened to it a few times. It's really good. It doesn't relate to me,
00:55:04.760
but I can see how this vulnerability is speaking to what a lot of people feel. This is certainly not
00:55:11.120
Christian, but it's kind of reflecting this trend that we're seeing among a lot of young people,
00:55:17.440
especially young men actually, and wanting to go back to tradition, wanting to go back to church,
00:55:22.700
wanting to go back to marriage, wanting to actually have children. This is a positive trend
00:55:27.640
that we're seeing among young men, a negative trend among young women. We are seeing a lot of young
00:55:32.300
women say they don't want to get married. In fact, there was this, uh, Pew research, um, Pew research
00:55:39.540
study that I just saw circulating. I think this is full screen 31. It says girls are now less likely
00:55:46.180
than boys to say they want to get married. This is a percent of 12th graders saying they're most
00:55:51.880
likely to choose to get married in the long run. Only 61% of girls say that 74% of boys say that
00:55:59.660
that's actually not that different from 1993. So this is from 1993 to 2023 and 1993, 83% of girls said,
00:56:08.080
yeah, I'm probably going to get married one day. 76% of boys said that 2023, 30 years later,
00:56:14.880
61%, that's a 22% drop among girls, whereas it's only a 2% drop among boys. And this kind of correlates
00:56:22.800
with the trend that we've seen of young men, boys going back to church and girls just becoming
00:56:27.480
increasingly progressive, increasingly secular. Anyway, back to Kelsey Ballerini. She wrote this
00:56:35.040
song called I Sit in Parks and she's a woman in her thirties and she's reflecting, hang on,
00:56:41.700
I'm sitting in parks and I'm watching these adults, this couple, this married couple,
00:56:48.120
the same age as me with kids and they seem happy. Did I miss it? Here's thought seven.
00:56:51.800
Did I miss it? By now, is it a lucid dream? Is it my fault for chasing things? A body clock
00:57:02.300
doesn't wait for, I did the damn tour. It's what I wanted, what I got. I spun around and then I
00:57:21.200
So she's talking about how she's watching this couple and their kids and she does the tour. She
00:57:26.900
became successful. It's what she wanted, but did she make the right choice? This is a really sad verse
00:57:32.940
and good for her for being this vulnerable, but it's, I mean, it's bleak. It just is. So I sit in
00:57:40.060
parks, sunglasses, dark, and I hit the vape, hallucinate a nursery with Noah's Ark. They lay
00:57:45.700
on a blanket and I can't say that word. Uh, he loves her. I wonder if she wants my freedom. Like
00:57:53.240
I want to be a mother, but Rolling Stone says I'm on the right road. So I refill my Lexapro and
00:57:59.500
Lexapro is of course a medication for depression. And then the last line she says, so I sit in parks,
00:58:07.380
check in benchmarks. Taryn's due in June. The album's due in March. And Taryn is probably,
00:58:13.460
um, a friend. And I just wonder, we see all these statistics of these women saying, you know, I
00:58:21.000
don't, I don't need no man. I don't want to get married. I don't know if I want to have kids.
00:58:25.940
I'm going to just, you know, my, I'm just going to look to the government to take care of me and to
00:58:32.300
take care of other people. That's how I'm going to channel my motherhood instincts. We've talked a
00:58:37.820
lot about this misplaced mothering, how this motherhood instincts that we all have when we're
00:58:43.020
little girls, it doesn't go away. We take care of our pets. We take care of our dolls. We take care
00:58:47.800
of our flowers because that is the instinct that God has given us in general as women. And that's
00:58:54.720
supposed to be channeled towards children, whether or not you get married. If you don't get married,
00:59:00.140
then that is channeled towards children in some kind of ministry or volunteer capacity or teaching
00:59:04.500
capacity. And if you do get married and you do have children, it's supposed to be channeled towards
00:59:09.420
children. But that motherhood instinct is supposed to be channeled towards people, not your profession,
00:59:15.460
not your pet, not your plant and not politics. I read a line last night. I'm reading A Tree Grows in
00:59:21.540
Brooklyn. Um, this is one of these books that I've been reading off and on for months now,
00:59:26.020
and I wish I had the line in front of me. It was such a good line that described the teachers in
00:59:31.400
the early 1900s. This is a fictional book, but it was talking, it basically, I'm going to butcher it,
00:59:37.980
but it was basically like they had been starved of their motherhood instincts. So they had become
00:59:43.660
neurotic and trying to find a different channel for those instincts. And I'm not saying this is true
00:59:49.080
of all women who aren't mothers. I'm not saying that I'm just talking in principle and in general
00:59:54.140
and statistically, I do think that the starvation of those natural motherhood instincts does lead
01:00:01.300
to a neuroticism and a sadness that we actually see manifest through progressive values and democratic
01:00:06.860
politics and toxic empathy. We've got more on this in just a second. Let me tell you about our
01:00:12.340
last sponsor for the day. The American Revolution did not begin in 1776. It began in the hearts and
01:00:19.780
minds of people who were in America generations earlier. Those were ordinary men and women who
01:00:25.500
crossed the ocean, not for comfort, but for the chance to live according to faith and reason free
01:00:30.880
from tyranny. And that story is not just history. It is still true today. Hillsdale College's new
01:00:37.940
Colonial America miniseries takes you back to that beginning, exploring how faith, liberty, and virtue
01:00:43.340
built the groundwork for a nation unlike any other. In six beautifully produced lessons,
01:00:48.120
Hillsdale professors walk through the political, religious, and cultural ideas that made revolution
01:00:53.780
possible and show why those same ideas are still worth defending today. Hillsdale has more than 40
01:01:00.400
online courses from the Constitution to C.S. Lewis to the stories of Genesis that are totally free to
01:01:06.740
you. That is amazing. You will be smarter. You will be wiser when you sign up for Hillsdale's courses.
01:01:11.720
Go to hillsdale.edu slash relatable to enroll. No cost. Easy to get started. That's hillsdale.edu
01:01:17.040
slash relatable. Okay, so if we look at some of the priorities that young women do have, we're
01:01:32.960
looking at NBC News, for example. If we see male voted for Trump, number one, one of the top priorities
01:01:41.400
that they have is having children, the number one priority they have. Female voted for Trump,
01:01:47.800
achieving financial independence. So already, like we see such a difference there. A male voted for
01:01:54.780
Harris, having a job or a career you find fulfilling. Female voted for Harris, having a job or career you
01:02:00.860
find fulfilling. But the men that voted for Trump, they are prioritizing having children, being married.
01:02:07.960
Yes, they want to achieve financial independence. I think it's very telling that one of the highest
01:02:15.080
priorities for the females that voted for Trump, for everyone else, this is like low, but having
01:02:20.820
emotional stability. That's what they want. And that means that they don't really have it because
01:02:26.460
they're refilling their vape and their Lexapro. And I think they're sad about how their life is. And again,
01:02:32.220
I'm not denigrating all groups of people. This is just statistically like what is going on. And there
01:02:40.180
is a huge gender gap, but it's not just a gender gap and it's not just a political gap. It really
01:02:46.100
is a marriage gap. Like when you break it down even further, the priorities of women who are married
01:02:52.380
versus unmarried are very, very different. The politics of women who are married versus unmarried
01:02:58.660
are very, very different. I know that we as women, we don't like to talk about this, but the truth is,
01:03:03.840
is that women are very influenced by our husbands. That's a good thing. That's a good thing, by the
01:03:10.160
way, like God made us that way. I don't care. Like you can talk to whatever girl boss, feminist that
01:03:15.400
you want. Girls want to be, women want to be led. Like we want to be led by someone who is strong,
01:03:21.380
by someone who is decisive, by someone who is smart. It's not about wanting to be micromanaged
01:03:27.420
or being incapable or being, you know, like intellectually weak. It's not about that,
01:03:33.620
but women want to be led by a strong man, by a husband. And that is why some of these strongest
01:03:42.060
women I know, their politics and their ideas have changed after getting married because they love and
01:03:48.740
respect their husband and their husband. Yeah. Might have been like, babe, we can't vote for Joe
01:03:55.040
Biden. Like, did you think about this? And it might take that for them to be like, oh yeah. Again,
01:04:00.740
not speaking about all single women. I know single women who are very conservative, strong Christians,
01:04:05.300
all of that. But I also know a lot of women who would probably be liberal if they didn't get married.
01:04:12.100
And I just wonder if progressives know that. And that's why they try to subvert marriage so much.
01:04:17.520
But marriage is such a stabilizing force. It's a stabilizing force for men and men's nature.
01:04:24.880
It's a stabilizing force for women and women's nature. Men who want to seek conquest that has to
01:04:31.400
be channeled in the right and moral way. And women who are typically driven very often by our emotions
01:04:38.920
that has to be harnessed for good. Children who need that physical and emotional protection
01:04:43.920
and nurturing. All of that is found in the family. The marriage between a man and a woman who bring
01:04:51.280
two very good things to the table that is necessary, not only in the lives of children,
01:04:57.040
but in the life of the community and of a country. And when we miss that, we're missing a lot. And you
01:05:04.180
just see a lot of misguided women. And I'm sure a lot of disappointed men because of that.
01:05:09.300
So those of us who have little kids, like, let's raise up our children in the way they should go
01:05:15.580
to make sure that they desire not only to follow the Lord, although that's first and foremost,
01:05:21.720
but also healthy marriages and to have children and to raise children and the Lord, that we're
01:05:27.720
raising girls who value that, that we're raising men who know how to cherish and seek a godly woman.
01:05:33.880
Um, and I would feel really good if I, if I knew, which I do know that there are many parents who
01:05:41.580
are doing that for their children, but if all of us can just commit together, those of us who have
01:05:46.540
these, are they gen alpha? I don't even know what generation our, uh, kids are. If we are committing
01:05:51.440
to raising them in that way and protecting them from the predation of technology and progressive
01:05:56.320
politics and entertainment and all of that, then that would be a good thing. Um, all right,
01:06:01.860
that's all we have time for today. Remember the Lord is in all of this and he is using us to infuse
01:06:06.860
light in every single sphere that we occupy. All right. We'll be back here on Wednesday.
