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

Today, countless mothers face their own version of that moment.
00:00:21.240
They sit in a clinic looking at an ultrasound for the first time, frightened and unsure

What is the connection between furries, pornography, transgenderism, and political violence?
00:01:09.820
We are going to dive into this today in light of revelations about the would-be assassin of
00:01:16.440
Donald Trump in 2024, and we've got a theological take on all of this that is so important for
00:01:24.940
This episode is brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers.
00:01:48.260
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.
00:01:51.660
The most important thing, of course, so many questions about the shirt that I was wearing
00:01:56.160
on Monday, and I appreciate the compliments, and I get questions about that particular blouse
00:02:02.360
quite a lot, and it is from, this is the worst answer ever.
00:02:06.420
It is from a boutique in Highlands, North Carolina.
00:02:09.200
I can't tell you where it may be available online, and that is true also of this blouse.
00:02:16.440
If you have the question, I got it from the same boutique in Highlands, North Carolina like
00:02:20.600
a year ago, but I'm sure you could find something similar somewhere online.
00:02:24.880
I'm not a fashion influencer, or else I would have a link for you, but unfortunately I don't.
00:02:31.740
So I just wanted to answer that very pressing question.
00:02:36.300
Today we're going to talk about a subject that we have talked about many times, but we're
00:02:42.020
You have heard me talk about transgenderism from every different direction for the past
00:02:49.960
And something that a lot of people don't talk about is the dark underbelly of the ideology
00:02:57.440
It was believed at one point, even by me a few years ago, that these are all people who
00:03:06.820
They look in the mirror, and it doesn't feel like them.
00:03:09.580
They feel like they're trapped in the wrong body.
00:03:11.500
And I believe that most people who felt this way were born with that, or at least they started
00:03:20.000
And I have always felt, of course, that it's wrong, that it's incongruent with reality,
00:03:24.360
and that people who have that kind of distress need a kind of therapy that helps them reconcile
00:03:32.580
And while I still believe that, I no longer believe that most people today who say that
00:03:38.580
they're the opposite sex have true gender dysphoria.
00:03:43.020
I believe that gender dysphoria exists as it is defined or was defined in the DSM-5.
00:03:48.800
That's the big manual of mental illness that describes gender dysphoria as the insistent,
00:03:57.720
persistent, and consistent belief that they were born in the wrong body or that they are
00:04:04.140
And statistically, it was a lot more prevalent in young boys.
00:04:15.080
But now, of course, what we've seen is this form of rapid onset gender dysphoria, which we
00:04:21.200
learned a lot about through Abigail Schreier's first book.
00:04:29.360
Can someone can someone look that up and remind me?
00:04:32.520
I should know because I loved it and I learned a lot from it.
00:04:36.580
But this idea that young adolescent girls, what is it called?
00:04:45.840
I'll never forget the cover of that book, which is just so iconic and sad.
00:04:50.360
But talked about the research from Brown University's Lisa Lipman that showed that these young adolescent
00:04:57.160
girls, while they were teenagers, were suddenly believing that they were boys and that this
00:05:03.120
actually was the result of something called a social contagion, much like cutting, much like
00:05:08.280
eating disorders, where young girls are seeking some kind of affirmation and validation or maybe
00:05:14.760
And so they are mutilating their body in some way as a form of control or maybe a form of
00:05:26.740
This is not something that they were born with.
00:05:31.200
It is almost a coping mechanism and a lot of young women to escape from some kind of confusion
00:05:38.680
or true oppression that they dealt with, sometimes linked to their femininity, like sexual trauma
00:05:52.040
It's not true today that most of the boys and men who identify as the opposite sex do so because they have
00:06:00.160
gender dysphoria that they were born with or that they developed as a child.
00:06:04.180
But today it is, I believe, mostly due to pornography.
00:06:09.300
It is due to a sexual fetish that they have developed over time, that there is now a very real
00:06:15.560
algorithmic pipeline via Pornhub and other porn sites that push young men to seek more and more
00:06:28.680
So the pornography changes from something that is simple to something that might be more erotic,
00:06:37.720
And it gets into not only like different kinds of sexual deviancy, in addition to just pornography,
00:06:44.240
homosexuality, but then gender bending and gender fluidity.
00:06:49.260
And we have talked about, this is very disturbing, but we have talked about a woman who has researched
00:06:55.800
this, Genevieve Gluck, who is the editor of the magazine called Redox.
00:06:59.920
And she has looked into the link between something called sissy pornography and the rise of transgenderism,
00:07:07.560
this fetish of wanting to be feminized as a man, wanting to be submissive as a man,
00:07:13.460
and how this very much has to do with this rise of transgenderism among a lot of men.
00:07:20.280
So it's true that these men who want to go into girls' locker rooms, who want to go into
00:07:24.900
girls' bathrooms, are not doing so because they really think that they were born in the
00:07:31.960
Those are the exact opposite kind of men that you want infiltrating women's spaces.
00:07:37.380
Of course, you don't want any man doing that, but especially not a man who is a sexual deviant
00:07:41.500
in every way and who actually gets off on humiliation, humiliation for themselves and humiliation
00:07:49.960
This kind of sissification porn actually depicts women as objects and depicts women as just things
00:08:01.680
And so I believe that that is what is motivating the majority of transgenderism among men today.
00:08:10.480
And I just want you to know that, that this is not nuanced, that this doesn't deserve more
00:08:14.660
of our empathy, that these people don't deserve to be allowed into any women's spaces at all.
00:08:22.100
But I want you to stare at it in the eyes as sexual depravity and perversion that doesn't
00:08:30.840
Like, and I'm not talking about biological sex.
00:08:32.840
I'm talking about a sexual fetish and pornography and one subset of this very dangerous and dark
00:08:40.800
It's very disturbing, but okay, like we need to understand how sin works and how this is
00:08:45.640
actually a link to a lot of the issues that we have today, including political violence.
00:08:51.760
One subset of this pornography that is also pushing these men towards sexual degeneracy and
00:08:57.140
gender fluidity, including transgenderism and non-binary identity is furry porn.
00:09:06.400
And we don't have to go into the details of what this means.
00:09:09.200
I want to try to protect our minds and hearts as much as possible.
00:09:12.440
But we also have to see that this form of pornography is actually leading to, in some ways, political
00:09:21.180
violence that has now affected the president of the United States, who had an assassination
00:09:34.700
I do not think it's a coincidence that both of these men who are suspected as the killers
00:09:40.260
of these top, you know, conservative, one politician and one activist were also allegedly addicted
00:09:47.740
to this kind of pornography and obsessed with transgenderism.
00:09:51.600
There is something going on morally and spiritually and psychologically and politically here that we
00:09:59.240
really need to understand, to shake us out of our stupor, that these are identities or interests
00:10:07.900
The people as image bearers of God may deserve our compassion and our desire for their repentance,
00:10:18.400
And for us to have courage, we have to have clarity, which means we have to have knowledge
00:10:21.840
and we have to kind of look at the belly of the beast and understand how these things
00:10:26.220
So that's what we're going to dive into today as we look at the new revelations that have
00:10:30.700
come to light about the would-be Trump assassin.
00:10:35.020
We're not going to say his name, just like we're not going to say Charlie Kirk's assassin's
00:10:38.960
name, the suspect, not because we've been perfect on this, because we haven't.
00:10:44.840
There have been times that we've done this and times that we haven't, but because I don't
00:10:47.980
want to contribute anything to this person's fame, this person's notoriety, which is exactly
00:10:55.040
So we'll get into these revelations and what they mean theologically, why we as Christians
00:11:00.580
Let me go ahead and pause, tell you about our first sponsor for the day.
00:11:08.360
I've talked to you about them so often, how they really have changed my life in some ways,
00:11:13.620
like not to be dramatic, but really my health, my immune system, my hair, skin, and nails,
00:11:19.280
just overall how I'm feeling has improved so much since I started taking all of my supplements
00:11:25.620
I started in the beginning of 2024 and everything was rocky in my blood work.
00:11:36.940
I had been taking the same supplements for a long time, but it wasn't until I switched
00:11:40.900
to WeHeart that I started actually feeling better and that my body started having the
00:11:45.220
equipment that it needed to fight off sickness.
00:11:47.620
Now there are times that I get really close to being sick.
00:11:53.120
I've got three little kids, but usually I just start getting sick and then I knock it
00:11:58.560
And one thing that I've added to my armor for my immune system is their immunity supplement.
00:12:04.480
I've started taking that at night with my other supplements, and I really think it has
00:12:11.880
They've got the Wholesome Balance supplement too that is great for your hormones.
00:12:17.580
They donate a percentage of every sale to pregnancy centers.
00:12:20.460
Jacob and Kristen, who own WeHeart Nutrition, they're awesome.
00:12:28.200
You'll get 20% off your order, no matter how many times you've ordered in the past.
00:12:34.460
So the New York Post has just reported that the 20-year-old gunman who attempted to murder
00:12:44.160
Donald Trump on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania last year was allegedly using they, them pronouns
00:12:58.600
This is a platform for user-generated art and a hub for various fetish communities where
00:13:03.400
he seemed especially drawn to scantily clad images of muscular male-looking bodies with
00:13:10.400
So right away, this should sound the alarms for you of something satanic.
00:13:16.840
The first thing I think of, and this just came to mind, and so I've got to make sure
00:13:21.220
I have the reference right on Bible Gateway before I say it to you, but I think about
00:13:28.320
Mark 5, when Jesus heals a man with a demon, and this person goes by the name of Legion,
00:13:41.600
So Mark 5 starts by saying, they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of Gerasthenes.
00:13:50.860
And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs,
00:13:56.880
He lived among the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, for
00:14:01.420
he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke
00:14:09.360
Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains, he was always crying out and cutting himself
00:14:14.400
And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him, and crying out with a loud
00:14:18.380
voice, he said, what have you to do with me, Jesus, the Son of the Most High God?
00:14:25.380
For he was saying to him, come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
00:14:34.220
And he replied, my name is Legion, for we are many.
00:14:38.760
So this demon who is multiple, he's got multiple identities.
00:14:44.920
These are multiple spirits in one that has taken over the body of this person who is tormented
00:14:51.500
by violence against others and himself, who has this kind of like supernatural viciousness
00:14:56.640
and strength because he is possessed by a demon.
00:14:59.540
He, even though he is one in this body, goes by a multiple pronoun, goes by we.
00:15:07.760
Now, I'm not saying that this legion is necessarily possessing all of these people who go by they,
00:15:14.840
I am saying unapologetically that it is demonic, that you cannot be a they, that you cannot
00:15:34.660
Also, what I think about, I think about the depiction of a demon like Baphomet, for example.
00:15:48.840
And Baphomet is traditionally seen as a demonic depiction that has been around for a very
00:15:57.200
And actually, if you look at all different kinds of demonic depictions that have been
00:16:02.820
drawn since ancient times, you will see not only gender fluidity or like a hermaphrodite
00:16:10.160
And so you might see female breasts, but you might see male genitalia as well.
00:16:15.260
But you will also see this cross between a human and an animal.
00:16:20.520
So right here, we see that this person who tried to assassinate Donald Trump, that he
00:16:28.160
was into bestiality, which is forbidden, of course, in Scripture.
00:16:33.780
It was actually punishable by death in the Old Testament for a very good reason.
00:16:38.740
But also that this person is messing with gender fluidity, which again had become a sexual
00:16:45.060
fetish and that this had manifested itself in the demonic identity of being they, them.
00:16:51.180
Now, this person is clearly unwell for a lot of reasons.
00:16:56.660
He had an online footprint that included extreme rhetoric espousing political violence as far
00:17:16.280
He wrote things in 2019 like murder the Democrats.
00:17:20.760
Then he also would apparently search for things that were violent, like Kennedy's assassination.
00:17:30.400
He called Trump a racist, referring to Trump supporters as cult followers.
00:17:37.820
IMO, that means in my opinion, the only way to fight the government is with terrorism style
00:17:41.920
attacks, sneak a bomb into an essential building, set it off before anyone sees you, track down
00:17:46.880
any important people, politicians, military leaders, et cetera.
00:17:49.980
So I think it's fair to question, like, why didn't the FBI do something about this beforehand?
00:17:57.120
Because the FBI actually is able to step in when someone is making these kinds of threats
00:18:02.280
They've actually done it a lot over the past couple of months, which I'm glad about.
00:18:06.340
People have been making very real death threats through two conservative commentators, like
00:18:11.740
people like Matt Walsh, people like Seth Dillon in the past, people like Ben Shapiro, and law
00:18:19.300
So why wasn't this happening to this guy when we have so much intelligence, so many resources
00:18:31.480
The FBI has been largely quiet on the suspect's online activity.
00:18:38.860
After the assassination attempt, according to the New York Post, then FBI director Chris
00:18:43.960
Ray told Congress after July 13th, after that attack, that the Bureau had found nothing in
00:18:49.900
would-be assassins' online history that pointed to a motive or political ideology, which is
00:18:57.560
A week later, Ray's deputy, Paul Abate, not sure how to pronounce his last name, told Congress
00:19:04.960
that comments posted on one of Crook's social media accounts appear to reflect anti-Semitic
00:19:09.480
and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence that are described as extreme in nature.
00:19:17.540
It's hard for me to believe that they didn't also see all of the other things that he had
00:19:23.460
So here are some other questions that people have.
00:19:26.340
Again, according to the New York Post, whether the would-be assassin acted alone or had contact
00:19:30.780
with agents of a foreign government, why the FBI never noticed or investigated the suspect's
00:19:35.500
violent rhetoric online, whether the FBI turned over all evidence it had to congressional
00:19:40.560
investigators, did FBI investigators find all the suspect's online activity, or was some of it
00:19:48.260
And so I think those are all good questions to ask because I do believe in asking questions,
00:19:53.160
including questions of the FBI and the government and the media in law enforcement without wrongly
00:19:59.960
implicating people that we have suspicions about, that we have no evidence are involved.
00:20:08.260
There's a way to ask questions of very powerful and government-sponsored entities without bringing
00:20:14.080
people into suspicion that do not need to be suspected.
00:20:18.200
Um, let's look a little bit more since we are talking specifically about how these sexual
00:20:23.500
fetishes can be a part of violence, including political violence.
00:20:27.500
Let's look a little bit more about these dark obsessions.
00:20:31.440
Um, this is deviant art says that they are the, this website where this assassin had a footprint.
00:20:38.460
It's the world's largest online social community for artists and art enthusiasts to share, promote
00:20:45.500
But again, by the name, you can see that it's supposed to be deviant.
00:20:49.960
So this suspect that tried to assassinate Trump had the username Epic Microwave listed the
00:20:57.340
Um, we don't really know how they personally identified out in the world, but that's the,
00:21:03.800
We're not going to put the pictures up of the art that this person was making, but clearly
00:21:10.380
obsessed with the idea of gender fluidity, clearly obsessed with this idea of being some
00:21:16.460
He also posted artwork that revealed an obsession, um, with gore.
00:21:22.360
It looks like it's like a trans flag background.
00:21:26.980
Um, and then you've got one figure that is shooting the other figure in the head.
00:21:33.200
And we've got a few other very violent, um, depictions like that, that this guy seemed to be obsessed
00:21:42.580
Um, and I think I might've made a mistake earlier when I was talking about the kind of art that
00:21:49.440
I think I might've said something about it, having like an animal, like animal head, like
00:21:55.760
And while it is true that there is like furry porn that has that, and it is demonic.
00:22:01.280
He was more into the gender bending stuff, but the connection to furry, which we're about
00:22:06.860
to get into with Charlie Kirk's assassin is this.
00:22:09.380
According to Miranda Devine, the New York post, he, this assassin, uh, suspect, he described
00:22:15.820
himself with the pronouns, they, them on the platform, do you in art.
00:22:18.380
And it's one of the biggest online hubs for furry art and furry community.
00:22:22.480
A furry is someone who has an interest in anthropomorphized animal characters, so often as a sexual fetish.
00:22:30.780
So let's unpack these traits and how they are also connected to other assassins against
00:22:36.860
conservative advocates and what it actually means.
00:22:41.380
So this is according to time magazine, also according to the New York post transgender and
00:22:47.020
furry ideology seems to link several high profile shootings in the last several years, including
00:22:52.120
Charlie Kirk's, um, assassin, again, not going to say his name.
00:22:55.960
Uh, the suspect's live-in boyfriend was documenting a gender transition, a man who was trying to
00:23:06.440
According to the Daily Mail, they played, um, this person, I guess, uh, guy played pornographic
00:23:12.660
furry games online, follows artists that draw cartoons depicting horrible things like pedophilia.
00:23:18.700
And then friends also, uh, of the couple of these two guys talked about like some of the
00:23:27.100
And we'll get into more of that in just a second.
00:23:32.300
This is another pro-life, pro-woman company that you need to support.
00:23:36.840
Unfortunately, a lot of diaper companies out there, a lot of baby companies, a lot of women's
00:23:42.160
health companies support abortion and support the values and causes that we don't believe
00:23:49.120
And so you want to try to vote with your dollar as much as possible.
00:23:52.200
It is a way to change the culture and change the country for the better.
00:23:58.020
We use Every Life diapers exclusively in our home.
00:24:02.440
We love their baby products, but we also love their women's health products.
00:24:05.460
They've got a whole period care line and postpartum care line that is really high quality.
00:24:10.000
And again, it's coming from people who can define what a woman is and supports life inside
00:24:15.420
It's so important to partner with companies like that.
00:24:17.700
And all of their stuff is just really effective and it works really well and really high quality.
00:24:23.020

Jack Posobiec, who works for Turning Point and of course was a close friend of Charlie
00:24:57.060
Kirk, he pointed out that both Charlie Kirk's assassin and the would-be Trump assassin had
00:25:02.120
this connection of an obsession with gender fluidity and also anthropomorphized sexual fetish
00:25:12.300
Dr. Chloe Carmichael wrote in, and we're going to have her on the show later on talking about
00:25:20.680
Brooks' fixation on hybrid male-female body art and Robinson's trans obsessions both suggest
00:25:31.060
It's no surprise that they're both interested in furries.
00:25:33.960
It's just a further derailment of their concept of humanity.
00:25:37.060
This dovetails with treating the special human gift of language as dangerous, believing that
00:25:42.020
those who express disagreement threaten their existence.
00:25:44.500
The entire mentality erodes respect for human life, creates irrational fear of ideological
00:25:50.820
opponents, and leaves them unwilling or unable to use words to navigate differences.
00:25:59.160
Yep, this actually reminds me of a tweet that I put out on this, and this was in response
00:26:07.180
to the news that the Trump gunman, that he used these pronouns and he was obsessed with
00:26:19.440
And I said transgenderism, and of course all sexual deviancy, but especially transgenderism,
00:26:28.220
One, there's nothing more detached from reality than thinking you're the opposite sex.
00:26:33.440
Once you've entered a total fantasy land, anything is possible and permissible.
00:26:38.200
Number two, it's attached to extreme porn, which is mentally destabilizing.
00:26:42.920
Number three, the cross-sex pharmaceuticals involved are bad for your mind and body.
00:26:47.440
There's a reason why a man naturally doesn't have that level of estrogen.
00:26:51.880
There's a reason why a woman doesn't naturally have that level of testosterone.
00:26:55.960
Every single cell in our body requires a very fragile makeup of certain hormones.
00:27:02.300
Every cell in our body is gendered, except for a few cells for a man for the purpose of procreating
00:27:10.080
But every cell in our body requires masculine and male hormones or female hormones.
00:27:19.360
So puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are really bad for every part of your body,
00:27:29.020
Number four, it has joined, this transgender identity has joined the communist coalition,
00:27:34.480
which has always been full of sexual degenerates.
00:27:41.680
It worships the god of self, the god of convenience, the god of selfishness.
00:27:46.560
I mean, it is an ideology that is built on covetousness and wanting what someone else has and then
00:27:53.900
taking what someone else has, which is what communism and socialism are, are so bad that
00:27:59.040
God actually forbade both of those things in the Ten Commandments, the Ten Big Ones.
00:28:04.240
He forbids us from stealing, and he forbids us even from wanting what someone else has.
00:28:08.920
And so when you have an entire ideology that is based on violating at least two of the Ten
00:28:15.940
Commandments, of course, it's going to create chaos.
00:28:18.600
I mean, you could actually argue that it violates all of them, that it puts gods before the one
00:28:24.460
god, that it breaks apart the family, which makes you violate the command to honor your father
00:28:31.180
and mother, which is actually the first commandment with a promise, so that it may go well with
00:28:37.420
So obviously, when you have ideologies that are subverting everything that we read, even
00:28:43.340
going back to the very beginning of Genesis 1 and God's creation of male and female, it's
00:28:53.400
And that, of course, is my number five, one of the reasons why transgenderism is inherently
00:29:02.800
Again, going back all the way to the Garden of Eden, first, we give in to the temptation
00:29:09.500
of Satan that, did God really say that if you eat this, you'll die?
00:29:15.820
Satan twists God's words, and Eve decides not to trust God.
00:29:24.160
And then after she gives in to that temptation, she takes the bite of the fruit.
00:29:33.640
And so we see that sin begets sin, that delusion begets delusion.
00:29:39.680
A Utah governor, Spencer Cox, of course, he's the governor of the state where Charlie Kirk
00:29:44.980
He reported that the suspect's friends told investigators that he was involved in very dark
00:29:51.160
interests, that his interests were taking him to very dark places.
00:29:55.980
Friend, this is what I was saying a few minutes ago.
00:29:58.380
Friends of the 22-year-old suspect said that the suspect, who allegedly left a sex-related
00:30:02.460
gaming message on a bullet casing used to kill Charlie Kirk, used the account name Crafton247
00:30:09.840
on multiple gaming and online platforms where he engaged in the fringe furry culture.
00:30:18.980
He has another account that he had a dating simulator called Furry Shades of Gay, describes
00:30:25.840
itself as a game of love, queer relationships, gay sex, all kinds of terrible stuff, according
00:30:33.900
This idea of dressing up as a stuffed animal, and usually it's very childlike.
00:30:43.000
It's literally, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's literally a costume that
00:30:47.680
these people put on that looks like a wolf or looks like a dog.
00:30:55.640
It's very, like, anime-like, and it's very childlike.
00:31:00.240
Like, it looks like something, it looks like a stuffed animal that a child would have, and
00:31:10.580
It's a furry parade, but there's a whole conference that is centered on this, and, okay, so I don't
00:31:16.120
have this in my notes, but I just remember this from a few years ago.
00:31:21.860
These adults dressed up like childlike animals, okay, in Florida a few years ago.
00:31:29.100
This was reported by the Rolling Stone, and the organizers of FurryCon were very angry
00:31:34.800
at Ron DeSantis for his, the law that had just been passed, and I'm forgetting the exact
00:31:41.420
details of it, but we can look it up, and y'all can look it up, basically saying that children
00:31:48.560
And these people at FurryCon were afraid that that was going to impact them in some way.
00:31:57.900
Now, they will try to gaslight you and say, oh, our furry obsession has nothing to do with
00:32:13.020
But this is according to a study, a 2019 study by Northwestern University of 334 male furries.
00:32:20.360
They found that 99% reported, quote, some degree of sexual motivation for being furry.
00:32:26.600
So this is bestiality, and it is no coincidence, this is no coincidence that this has significant
00:32:35.780
It's no coincidence that this has significant crossover with transgenderism.
00:32:46.940
But it's no coincidence that there seems to be a very high percentage of pedophiles in communities
00:32:59.360
They're obsessed with, like, self-infantilization that has to do with that humiliation fetish, okay?
00:33:09.320
They want to involve people that they view as weak in their sexual fetishes, and they
00:33:16.240
So when you're obsessed with that kind of submission and humiliation, it does very dark things to
00:33:29.840
So this is not something just to be, like, accepted or to be treated with kid gloves.
00:33:34.780
This is the problem with live and let live, right?
00:33:38.220
Because eventually, you letting live allows these people to infiltrate the spaces and infiltrate
00:33:45.640
the safety and privacy of innocent people, okay?
00:33:54.480
So The Guardian tells us a little bit more about the background of this.
00:33:57.940
Furries are a community of people who embody stylized animal characters.
00:34:03.220
The roots of furry culture go back to underground comics in the 1970s and 80s, with a big influence
00:34:08.380
from animated cartoons, especially the 1973 Disney movie, Robin Hood.
00:34:14.320
There's probably some details there that you could look into for why that is.
00:34:20.240
Furries realize that via the computer, you could connect with people.
00:34:23.220
You could share companionship, at least in a virtual sense.
00:34:29.380
Actually, what we really need is we need these people to have no way to find each other.
00:34:44.740
These people probably have underlying conditions of some kind of, like, if you want to call
00:34:50.680
it, like, neurodiversity or atypical, like, neuro makeup, whether I think a lot of them
00:34:57.400
probably already have autism or Asperger's or some of them have some kind of mental condition
00:35:08.040
They finally found something that they are a part of that makes them feel good and powerful
00:35:18.420
Feeling accepted and loved and wanted is so powerful.
00:35:21.920
And so they find that and then they just get darker and darker.
00:35:24.920
And I think a lot of these people, like the Trump would be assassin, and then the Charlie
00:35:30.940
They become so deluded into thinking that they are some kind of hero in these chat rooms
00:35:40.640
Like, it's so underneath the surface, but something that needs to happen is to break up
00:35:45.620
these chat rooms, to make it impossible for these people to find each other, for them to
00:35:49.940
become radicalized through this social contagion.
00:35:54.240
We don't want them to be able to have conferences.
00:35:56.020
We don't want them to be able to have communities like this.
00:35:58.040
We don't want them to be able to have group chats and chat rooms and ways to, like, make
00:36:03.380
this art because that is radicalizing and it's destabilizing.
00:36:08.620
And it ends up having an effect on real people in the real world.
00:36:20.300
Also, like, we just need to bring back shame and we need to bring back stigma.
00:36:25.940
Like, we have gone through, we've, you know, it's the same thing with, like, body positivity
00:36:33.140
Like, maybe there was a time where we need to say, you know, less stigma for XYZ, less
00:36:37.720
shame for XYZ and more body positivity for the woman who's, like, a size 10 but is generally
00:36:45.460
But then it swung all the way in the other direction, right, to where you are telling
00:36:50.160
women that obesity is perfectly beautiful and healthy when it's obviously not and telling
00:36:55.360
people that having any kind of sexual deviancy is acceptable and beautiful when it's not.
00:37:01.560
It's actually very harmful to them and it's harmful to everyone else too.
00:37:06.920
So we need to swing back the other direction and realize that stigma is something that has
00:37:12.940
been passed down to us by wiser generations that have gone before us to give us an indication
00:37:18.560
of not what is not acceptable but what is not healthy and what is not going to lead to the
00:37:28.820
Like, there is a reason for stigma and we should suss out whether or not it's justified, but in this
00:37:36.140
Like, there is a reason for stigma toward any other form of sexuality except for the union
00:37:42.160
between a man and a woman because it is inherently sterilizing and destabilizing for society.
00:37:58.260
It's like you are a person in the world and that has to matter too.
00:38:03.560
And you have a responsibility as a human being to your neighbor, to your community, and to
00:38:16.340
A 2022 study in the Archives of Sexual Behavior aimed to create and test new self-report and
00:38:22.460
picture-based tools to measure sexual interest in animals and to explore what patterns are linked
00:38:27.580
They found that people who identify as zoophilic, so basically bestiality, 35% identified as
00:38:37.320
furry, 72% as zoophilic, 67% were men, 23% were women among the participants' sexual interest.
00:38:46.000
Oh, gosh, I don't even know if I can say all of this.
00:38:49.300
Basically, these people are sexually interested in animals.
00:38:54.480
And it's also been found in an article from Religion News Service in 2022 that the vast
00:39:09.000
And, you know, people made fun of us, made fun of Christians back in the day when gay
00:39:14.700
marriage came mainstream and then, of course, was legalized.
00:39:18.380
So people said, oh, if we redefine marriage, if we redefine acceptable sexuality as anything
00:39:25.700
other between a man and a woman, that opens the door to everything else.
00:39:29.580
Because if you redefine it beyond this, what actually biologically and reproductively works,
00:39:38.140
If we no longer care about how biology tells us to function and how biology defines male
00:39:44.640
and female, then why do we care about how biology defines human or defines any form of acceptable
00:39:53.540
The slippery slope when it comes to the sexual revolution is totally undefeated.
00:40:00.340
It is a true principle because, again, sin begets sin and it creates more and more delusion.
00:40:07.960
And, of course, this has also become a problem among children.
00:40:11.960
The furry problem has been showing up in K through 12 public schools across the United States with
00:40:16.320
reports of furry-like student groups emerging in school districts in Arizona, California, Colorado,
00:40:23.560
There was a big problem in Utah, actually, at a middle school there, where students who
00:40:29.500
identified as furries have been seen wearing animal costumes and disrupting class and really
00:40:44.320
But, I mean, gosh, these kids need real discipline and mentorship and to be steered in the right
00:40:50.320
This is also the product of overly permissive parenting and parents not realizing that they
00:40:56.540
are the authority in their kid's life for good reason.
00:41:01.560
Let me pause, tell you about our next sponsor for the day, and that is Good Ranchers.
00:41:09.240
We've been relying on them for all-American meat, bacon, seed oil-free chicken nuggets, which
00:41:14.240
is impossible to find anywhere else, seafood, chicken, all cuts of meat are ground beef for
00:41:22.880
This is a great way to support American farms and ranches.
00:41:25.940
When you go to the grocery store, you might not know this, but 85% of the beef that you
00:41:30.080
see there is imported from abroad, even when it says made in the USA.
00:41:35.400
They changed the regulation a few years ago where you can put made in the USA on a package
00:41:43.880
So it could be from Nicaragua, it could be from China or wherever, but as long as they
00:41:47.580
put it in plastic in the US, they can say made in the US.
00:41:52.120
If you want to know for sure where your meat is coming from, that you're actually supporting
00:41:55.960
American farmers and ranchers, then get your meat from Good Ranchers.
00:42:07.080
You're supporting a Christian family-owned company as well as the entirety of the industry of
00:42:14.360
It's a great time to do this just in time for Thanksgiving, which is the quintessential
00:42:26.600
Okay, so here is the report of that happening at a middle school.
00:42:44.600
Okay, so just disturbing there that you have people that are children who are dressing up
00:42:51.420
And we're not just talking about, oh, like it's Halloween, like it's fun.
00:42:54.240
We've got little kids who are dressed up as animals.
00:43:00.240
But kids who are apparently, allegedly, according to reports from this middle school and elsewhere,
00:43:07.100
actually identifying as these things, that's obviously a problem.
00:43:13.920
According to the American Enterprise Institute, Democrats, you know, they've decried book banning
00:43:20.240
in school libraries, but they've failed to acknowledge that books being removed were
00:43:24.920
According to the Heritage Foundation, 75% of supposedly banned titles and books are still
00:43:31.460
available elsewhere, but they've been removed from school libraries because they're sexually
00:43:38.120
And you've got a lot of Democrats who are very upset about this.
00:43:42.180
Remember, again, going back to Florida, when Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law that simply
00:43:50.560
said, look, kindergarten through third grade, like you can't talk to kids about transgenderism.
00:44:00.800
Okay, so like five to nine-year-olds and people freaked out.
00:44:06.820
They were so mad that you couldn't show porn and talk about transgenderism to five to nine-year-olds
00:44:15.960
I think it was, there was a publisher that sued the state of Florida.
00:44:20.140
You had the American Library Association saying things like, public education needs to be a
00:44:30.400
Um, so of course, Marxists always use sexual deviancy to recruit their people.
00:44:37.860
And that includes, um, that includes during, uh, during school and because they know that
00:44:44.340
kids' brains are so malleable and that's how they get them early.
00:44:49.620
Uh, when we look specifically at pornography and it's linked to violence and it's linked to
00:44:56.720
sexual aggression, this has been well-documented for many years.
00:45:00.560
For example, a 2018 paper published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence reported that
00:45:05.640
88% of scenes in popular pornographic videos depict physical aggression.
00:45:15.500
48% show verbal aggression and 94% of aggressive acts targeted women.
00:45:21.500
So obviously there is something very evil going on here.
00:45:25.800
And people freaked out the other day when I talked about something that Charlie talked
00:45:31.980
about a lot is the damage of pornography on men, but also it's victimization of women
00:45:37.820
and children because a huge part of pornography is degradation and humiliation and objectification.
00:45:44.800
It doesn't matter if the people involved are consenting.
00:45:47.420
It still has an effect on objectifying the entirety of the population, but especially women.
00:45:53.120
And again, I think that is the link here that people who are obsessed with transgenderism,
00:45:59.300
cissification, um, bestiality, things like that.
00:46:03.200
It is about the humility or, uh, it is about the humiliation rather.
00:46:07.380
And it is about the, um, the submission aspect to it.
00:46:12.620
These people trying to feel powerful or wanting to be humiliated themselves.
00:46:16.340
And you could see how that leads to a form of, um, uh, a form of aggression and violence.
00:46:25.060
Um, also we can see that pornography, according to a study in the Journal of Early Adolescence,
00:46:31.980
leads to less, um, uh, lower aptitude in schools, lower academic outcomes.
00:46:40.480
There are links to poor mental health, that heavy porn use is related to higher depression,
00:46:48.280
anxiety, lower relationship satisfaction in men.
00:46:56.740
This is according to a 2023 study in the Journal of Behavioral Addictions.
00:47:02.560
Uh, we can also read in a 2025 study from the University of Texas published in the Journal of
00:47:08.500
Sexual Medicine that examined the mental health outcomes in over 107,000 adults with so-called
00:47:16.300
Um, and they found that, that, uh, rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation,
00:47:23.060
substance abuse disorders were significantly higher among, uh, transgender people who underwent
00:47:29.060
surgery and were, um, assessed two years later.
00:47:33.420
And the link here that I'm trying to say is that there's actually so much crossover.
00:47:38.500
And the symptoms of people who are addicted to pornography and the symptoms of people who
00:47:43.640
identify as the opposite sex, even those who go through surgery, I actually think that
00:47:50.140
the connection there or that the commonality is there because what is persistent through
00:47:55.100
the transition is an addiction to pornography is this kind of depraved fantasy land that they
00:48:03.200
And that is not actually fixed through surgery.
00:48:05.680
I think it would be fixed through, of course, repentance and like the grace of God, but just
00:48:12.000
I think if pornography went away forever, then rates of transgenderism among men would absolutely
00:48:20.560
Men, according to this study, uh, with surgery had depression rates of 25% compared to man, uh,
00:48:26.460
males who identifies the opposite sex without surgery at 11.5%.
00:48:30.200
Anxiety rates among that group were 12.8% compared to 2.6%.
00:48:36.700
And then the same thing among females, high rates of depression who underwent surgery, anxiety
00:48:44.760
Surgeries that aimed to feminize individuals showed particularly high rates of depression
00:48:50.340
and substance abuse after two years of the procedures.
00:48:54.400
This study found according to UCLA, more than 40% of transgender adults in the U S have attempted
00:49:02.320
And again, this is not due to people not affirming them.
00:49:06.520
Um, this is because they are in distress with their body due to what I think is actually
00:49:12.060
sexual depravity, not believing that they are born in the wrong body.
00:49:15.920
All of this distress, the pornography addiction, the sexual deviancy, the retreating to bestiality
00:49:23.980
and other forms of very dark depravity, I think is what is contributing to their violence.
00:49:30.160
There is a reason why, um, we look at school shootings like the Minneapolis Catholic school
00:49:35.920
shooting this year, Iowa school shooting in 2024, Nashville Christian school shooting in 2023,
00:49:41.500
Colorado Springs gay bar shooting 2022, Highlands Ranch, Colorado school shooting 2019,
00:49:47.140
Aberdeen, Maryland warehouse shooting 2018, that all of these people, all of these suspects
00:49:55.400
Now, if this is such a small portion of the population, it's like really weird and coincidental,
00:50:03.280
That all of that, they seem to be responsible for so much, uh, violence.
00:50:09.560
I think also, if I remember correctly, the person who tried to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh,
00:50:15.340
it was just found out if maybe we could fact check this, that it was just found out that this
00:50:25.040
So the fact that we have someone like representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, um, tweeting this, that
00:50:31.600
the transgender, this transgender awareness week, we celebrate the resilience, courage, and beauty
00:50:37.580
Your lives matter, your stories matter, and your right to thrive and exist authentically
00:50:46.100
I'm going to play this, um, this video that I found of Haley Bieber, who I thought was
00:50:53.660
like, I thought that she was a Christian saying this about transgenderism.
00:51:03.840
As if being like trans is a diss or like some of the most beautiful women in the world and
00:51:12.360
Like, why are we treating this as if this is normal and not actually like a very big deal
00:51:19.920
Am I saying that everyone who identifies as transgender is violent?
00:51:27.160
And we should be thinking a little more critically.
00:51:29.240
If we love our neighbors, if we love our neighbor who identifies as transgender, if we love our
00:51:34.080
neighbor who is possibly a victim of this violence, then we should be speaking very clearly about
00:51:38.220
And by the way, if you're a Christian, like forget all of these statistics, just go to
00:51:44.220
God knew we might forget about this and get confused.
00:51:46.480
So he said, I don't even need to make you read 30 verses.
00:51:51.760
And you'll see that in the beginning, God made them male and female in his image.
00:51:59.120
We see it repeated by Jesus in Matthew 19, four through five.
00:52:01.880
Have you not read that he who made them in the beginning, made them male and female and
00:52:05.620
then defines marriage as the man leaving his father and mother and holding fast to his
00:52:16.480
It's not possible to be born in the wrong body.
00:52:18.460
It's not possible to be a man who is actually a woman.
00:52:21.760
It's not possible to be a girl that is actually a man.
00:52:26.240
It is something that is wrong with the mind that goes very deep into a spiritual problem
00:52:30.060
that Christians have to love people enough to be able to speak the truth about.
00:52:34.880
And if your empathy is leading you in the direction of affirming sin or supporting destructive
00:52:46.540
First Corinthians 13, six, we never rejoice in wrongdoing.
00:52:57.800
Christian, when it comes to gender, it can literally save someone's life.
00:53:04.320
Let me go ahead before we get into what scripture says about this.
00:53:07.680
Let me tell you about our last sponsor for the day.
00:53:11.800

00:54:31.940
This is a paid endorsement, and I am not a client of the firm.
00:54:37.020
So what we can see from the beginning, and even though we are not bound to all of the
00:54:46.140
laws of the Old Testament, we can look at the principles of the laws behind the Old Testament,
00:54:51.860
Leviticus 20.13, if a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed
00:55:02.300
And of course, that's not the only place where we get our prohibition against homosexuality.
00:55:10.400
The verse we just referenced in Genesis reiterated throughout Scripture, like honor your father
00:55:13.980
and mother, repeated by Jesus himself, Matthew 19.4-5, representative of Christ in the church,
00:55:22.540
The Bible starts with the marriage and ends with the marriage.
00:55:24.960
Marriage between Adam and Eve, and the marriage between Christ and his bride, the church.
00:55:30.180
And so earthly marriage, as defined between one man and one woman, is so important that
00:55:33.780
it is reflective of an eternal spiritual reality, the marriage between Christ and his church.
00:55:40.480
We also read prohibition, very good and wise prohibition in Leviticus 20.15-16 against bestiality.
00:55:48.020
If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal.
00:55:51.980
If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal.
00:55:58.800
You know what's interesting is that I always see people on the left who identify as Christians,
00:56:03.940
and they want to say, oh, they nitpick Leviticus, and they look at the original Hebrew,
00:56:08.820
and they say, oh, you know, this is not actually prohibited.
00:56:14.180
They just wanted to keep the numbers up in the tribe of Israel, so that's why they prohibited homosexuality.
00:56:22.740
Are they making the same argument against the ban on bestiality?
00:56:27.960
Because if you're saying basically any sexuality goes, and there were very specific, culture-specific,
00:56:32.920
time-specific reasons to ban homosexuality back in the Old Testament,
00:56:36.660
are you also making the same argument about bestiality?
00:56:39.380
Now, maybe some are, but I haven't seen the more mainstream so-called progressive Christians do that,
00:56:47.080
Do you also think that that's acceptable, and if not, why not?
00:56:51.700
While the words transgender and non-binary obviously don't appear in Scripture,
00:56:56.220
we know Genesis 1.27, we even see a prohibition on a woman cross-dressing or a man cross-dressing in Deuteronomy 22.5.
00:57:06.720
Another thing that you see people saying a lot is, you know, transgenderism, homosexuality is not a sin.
00:57:12.500
And they just dismiss kind of Old Testament as just Old Covenant, and that doesn't apply to us.
00:57:18.400
Or they might say, oh, well, that Greek word is different in the New Testament.
00:57:22.020
But they don't have anything to say about God very clearly laying out what exactly is prohibited in Christian sexuality.
00:57:32.020
Therefore, God gave them up in the lust of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
00:57:38.420
because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the creator,
00:57:46.040
It goes on to say that God gave them up to dishonorable passions.
00:57:50.320
Women exchanged the natural relations with men.
00:57:53.400
For relations with women, men did the same thing.
00:57:56.640
They received within themselves the due penalty for their error.
00:58:02.020
But then it goes on to say that their sexual confusion, the women becoming like men in their sexuality,
00:58:08.300
the men becoming like women in their sexuality, actually gave them over to a depraved mind in all ways,
00:58:16.160
that they were filled with unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, and malice, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness,
00:58:22.640
gossip, slanders, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
00:58:29.040
They knew God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die.
00:58:34.900
But they give approval to those who practice them as well.
00:58:39.320
And so we can see that many times this kind of sexual depravity also leads to all other kinds of sin.
00:58:45.960
Again, not saying that everyone who identifies as gay or LGBTQ is also guilty of all of those things,
00:58:51.980
but this is just the nature of sin and denying the reality of our bodies.
00:59:00.260
In their case, the God of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,
00:59:10.360
It's so important for all of us, no matter how you identify, but as Christians, to honor God with our bodies.
00:59:17.580
As Christians, it's a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.
00:59:23.200
For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous, that is, an idolater.
00:59:28.900
Again, we talked about this a couple weeks ago.
00:59:31.140
Sexual immorality and idolatry are so often listed together as things that God hates in Scripture.
00:59:36.320
In the book of Jude, people, you know, they'll say that Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing to do with homosexuality,
00:59:50.440
but the book of Jude makes very clear that it actually does,
00:59:53.520
that that is why God's wrath was poured out on Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:59:56.500
And in 2 Peter 2.6, if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes,
01:00:00.820
he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly.
01:00:07.080
God takes sexual morality very, very seriously.
01:00:10.440
For the Christian, this is what we are called to.
01:00:13.980
Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
01:00:17.920
that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable, and perfect.
01:00:24.780
God's specific judgment for persistent, unrepentant sexual perversion and the violence it spawns are this immediate destruction,
01:00:32.820
death under the law, being handed over to ever-deepening depravity in this life,
01:00:37.920
loss of inheritance in the kingdom of God, eternal fire, second death.
01:00:44.040
We're not called to build a theocracy like of implementing all Old Testament law to today,
01:00:49.460
but we can see in principle that God really hates this kind of sin.
01:00:53.220
And if we love our neighbors, and if God is love, then a way to love our neighbors is to call out this sin as clearly as we can,
01:01:01.520
to do everything we can to protect sheeps from going to the slaughter.
01:01:06.360
And yes, in policy, protect minds and hearts from this kind of depravity that really has a chaotic and violent effect on all kinds of victims,
01:01:16.620
both the people who consume it and then the people who are victimized by those who consume it.
01:01:21.780
Philippians 4 also reminds us to only focus on that which is lovely and excellent and praiseworthy.
01:01:28.640
That's Philippians 4, 4 through 8, that what we fill our minds with really matters.
01:01:34.000
Ephesians also reminds us, don't be drunk with wine for that is debauchery, but we filled with the Spirit.
01:01:39.240
And while we're not talking about drunkenness here, we can see the principle throughout all of this that whatever fills you controls you.
01:01:45.680
Whatever you are filling your body with, whatever you are filling your mind with, whatever you fill your heart with is going to control you.
01:01:53.640
The Holy Spirit should be controlling us as Christians, and we want Him to be able to compel us completely uninhibited.
01:02:00.240
But whatever we fill our minds with is going to determine the direction of our thoughts,
01:02:04.560
which of course leads to our words and actions, which has a real effect on our neighbors.
01:02:10.380
Okay, so that is the clarity that I wanted to give us today to remind us and to renew us in our efforts in speaking the truth in love
01:02:18.260
and to be a bastion of clarity and courage to a very confused and chaotic world.
01:02:22.440
On Friday, we are going to be talking about the Nigerian genocide with someone who knows firsthand what is really going on there.
01:02:31.420
There's been a lot of mixed messages about what's going on in Nigeria, who's at fault and who is being victimized.
