00:00:00.000 hey guys welcome to relatable happy wednesday hope you guys have had a great week so far

00:00:05.440 i have so much that i want to talk about today i want to talk about uh the dad of an abused son

00:00:15.020 here in texas potentially losing the custody battle after the mother of this son is pushing

00:00:22.360 her child to be transgender i also want to talk about the beth moore john mcarthur drama that

00:00:28.260 has been going on over the past few days there's a pew research poll that i want to cover

00:00:32.600 there's also this craziness there's this craziness on social media about men being able to this is

00:00:40.180 about to be a pg word parent menstruate i want to talk about all this stuff but as i was preparing

00:00:45.860 for this there was really only one story that i was able to get through we'll we'll see we'll see how

00:00:51.140 far we go let's go ahead and get started on today's episode um i want to talk about this

00:00:58.240 is the story that has been dominating really my brain for the past few days and will probably

00:01:03.320 dominate this episode who knows we could get through it really quickly depending on how quickly

00:01:07.340 i talk because i'm so passionate about it um it is the court case out of texas involving a seven

00:01:13.020 year old boy whose mother insists that he is transgender and wants him to be chemically castrated

00:01:19.380 uh let us talk about a little bit about this background in case you guys haven't been following

00:01:25.580 again this is out of texas this is not california this is not canada this is not happening in the

00:01:32.960 uk all the places that you think are more quote progressive than the united states this is happening

00:01:39.000 in texas this is happening to a boy named james who is like i said seven years old and he has been

00:01:46.060 caught in the middle of a court battle between his parents um let me tell you a little bit about his

00:01:51.880 family he has a twin brother named jude their mother who is not actually their biological mother

00:01:57.000 by the way she and her ex has been used an egg donor she insists that james identifies as a girl

00:02:02.940 has shown an interest in girls clothing and toys for years and has wanted to be called luna she actually

00:02:09.320 claims that he first wanted to be called starfire but because she's um you know the responsible parent

00:02:14.480 that she is she said that he should be called luna so she says that he wants to be called this name

00:02:20.200 of luna this is according to the federalist last year 2018 uh in their divorce proceedings the mother

00:02:26.480 has charged the father with child abuse for not affirming james is transgender has sought restraining

00:02:33.280 orders against him the father and is seeking to terminate his parental rights she is also seeking

00:02:38.740 to require him to pay for the child's visits to a transgender affirming therapist and transgender

00:02:44.260 medical alterations which may include hormonal sterilization starting at age eight at age eight

00:02:52.200 11 out of 12 jurors ruled in favor of the mother which means right now to keep the status quo with

00:02:58.520 joint custody the final verdict apparently will be announced today despite the fact that multiple

00:03:04.660 friends multiple friends of the family have affirmed that james behaves like a boy that he dresses like

00:03:10.400 a boy and refers to himself as a boy in every single instance that they know of except except when he

00:03:17.700 is under his mother's supervision there is a woman by the name of sarah scott whose sons are best friends

00:03:23.200 with these boys this group of boys they call themselves the wolf pack uh james whose mom calls him luna like

00:03:29.440 we said and and jude younger they're a part of this little group uh she has started a facebook page called

00:03:34.920 save james she described herself to the federalist last year as sensitive to allowing james to choose

00:03:41.560 his gender and his gender pronouns and she even with that mindset of course that's not the mindset

00:03:46.800 that i have or most of you have but that's her mindset she is confident that james identifies

00:03:52.100 with his biological sex she said this in a post on this facebook page it's long so i'll just read you

00:03:58.680 some excerpts yesterday and this is her speaking i was supposed to testify in the case for the custody

00:04:04.440 of james and jude younger unfortunately i was called into the courtroom and dismissed 30 seconds

00:04:08.740 later because the judge said that the lawyers needed to rest their case over the past year i have

00:04:13.800 observed that james is blissfully happy as a boy he loves to march around outside and yell we are the

00:04:19.320 only boy scout troop or i'm the leader of the wolf pack he loves dressing as a superhero and sword

00:04:24.640 fighting one day james slipped in some mud and got his clothes dirty he asked if he could borrow some of

00:04:30.540 my kids clothes and i could wash and i could wash his i said hang on while i grab a shirt from the

00:04:35.940 closet he said miss sarah i don't need a shirt boys don't have to wear shirts if they don't want to

00:04:39.980 isn't that awesome and i said yes that is awesome he also likes having his hair cut in a certain way

00:04:44.940 but told my son grayson that his mom wouldn't let him get it too short even though he wanted it to be

00:04:50.380 spiky james is clearly embarrassed by things that happen with his mom we were all discussing what they

00:04:56.620 were going to be for halloween and my boys asked james and he said it's a secret i'm embarrassed

00:05:02.280 we immediately changed the subject but there have been many instances like that that is heartbreaking

00:05:09.200 she goes on to talk about james's brother jude who is also suffering in the midst of this she

00:05:14.020 describes watching him cling to his dad when he's supposed to go to his mom's house telling his dad that

00:05:19.580 he doesn't want to go that he wants to stay with his dad jude has also told sarah that things that he

00:05:25.280 likes just happen to strangely disappear when he's at his mom's house um like shoes that he got from

00:05:31.400 his dad sarah also says that uh she suspects that there's neglect from the mother she says in this

00:05:38.540 post in the winter we regularly met for dinner on the thursday nights that jeff had the boys

00:05:42.880 they came out of of her home inappropriately dressed for weather and clothes that were ill-fitting and

00:05:48.240 not at all warm enough pants that were too tight and short shoes that they couldn't run in and no coats

00:05:52.960 even when it was extremely cold truth be told i'm not sure how often she is home the boys told me

00:05:58.380 that mom was at work a lot and that their sisters or someone else watched them no parent is perfect

00:06:03.180 she says but both boys adore their dad he is firm but gentle never raises his voice and the kids

00:06:08.600 respond really well to his authority it was uh the mother who chose this gender this is me talking now

00:06:15.620 this it was the mother who chose a gender transition therapist who is exclusively affirming of 0.92

00:06:21.220 gender transition for children and this therapist herself said in a court file dossier that the only

00:06:26.920 time james showed any signs any signs of identifying as a girl or as luna was when his mother was present

00:06:34.140 in the appointment any other time any other time he said that he was a boy and that his name is james

00:06:39.660 that alone right there shows that he does not suffer from what is called gender dysphoria it's characterized

00:06:46.660 by a persistent insistence upon being the opposite sex so from what we can tell it is this mom who

00:06:54.380 seems to be suffering from her own psychological sickness and she needs to be put away i'm not afraid

00:06:59.280 to say that she needs to be put away whether she goes to prison or whether she uh is put in some kind

00:07:05.400 of rehabilitation program uh for mental disturbance she needs to be separated from her child she has 0.80

00:07:11.440 no business whatsoever parenting these children as horrible as that is this isn't a matter of her 0.93

00:07:16.600 just having different beliefs than me i would never say that a child should be taken away from their parent

00:07:21.420 just because i don't like how they parent it's not just a matter of different parenting methods this is

00:07:25.860 a matter of uh of abuse this is a matter of taking away children from a dad who is known by every account

00:07:33.960 that we have uh for being loving and able to take care of these boys uh there should be no question

00:07:40.440 there should be no question about who gets custody in this case from the information that we have

00:07:45.300 this is sexual and psychological and emotional abuse from the mother and there should be no contest about

00:07:51.500 this now you may be thinking well ali we don't have the full story there may be more that we don't know

00:07:58.120 no all i need to know all i need to know is that uh the mother is encouraging her son to be a girl

00:08:06.260 that's all you need to know whether or not he says he's a girl that is wrong even if he insisted that he

00:08:12.460 is a girl and wanted to dress like a girl even then sending him to a counselor who has said that she

00:08:18.100 would start him on puberty blockers and later hormone therapy before he even reaches the age of 12

00:08:24.660 that is abuse why because he's seven years old do you know that the frontal lobe of our brains

00:08:31.240 actually doesn't develop until we are 25 do you know how little understanding of anything a seven

00:08:37.780 year old actually has outside of just instinct they do have some understanding of course of the world

00:08:43.300 and interpersonal interaction and all of that he obviously knows enough to know that he's a boy and

00:08:47.980 wants to act and behave like a boy but do you know how uh how small the decision making capacity

00:08:54.760 is of a seven year old child uh most seven year olds believe in santa claus uh and the tooth fairy

00:09:01.040 and the easter bunny they barely have the mental capability to think about the logistics of a man

00:09:06.420 riding around in a sleigh that is pulled by flying reindeer and going into a chimney and dropping off

00:09:12.620 gifts like they don't even have the ability to think about the fact that that probably doesn't work

00:09:17.020 logistically but you're going to tell me some people are going to tell me that they have the ability to

00:09:22.920 decide whether or not they want to permanently and irrevocably harm their bodies by manipulating

00:09:28.600 their hormones before they even hit puberty that's what you're going to tell me can you tell me in

00:09:32.680 what world that actually makes any sense whatsoever uh they don't have that capacity which means any

00:09:37.840 parent who allows this or encourages this even by way of cross-dressing is abusing their child uh they 0.73

00:09:46.840 are tormenting their child they are confusing their child ask yourselves this liberals who are

00:09:52.880 in support of this and not all liberals are in support of this by the way but uh to the liberals

00:09:57.660 who are in support of this or who think it's no big deal and they shouldn't really say anything

00:10:01.540 why do you hate science why do you hate the human body why do you hate anatomy why do you hate biology so

00:10:09.300 much we can have a conversation we can have an honest in good faith conversation about harmful gender 0.98

00:10:15.660 stereotypes we can talk about boys liking ballet we can agree on that we can agree on it being okay

00:10:22.680 for boys to like sad movies or romantic novels we can talk about uh girls liking football or four

00:10:30.420 wheeling or transformers we can talk about all that we can encourage a variety of interests but why do we

00:10:35.940 have to encourage in that the degradation the mutilation and the abuse of the human body especially

00:10:42.960 a child as someone who suffers truly suffers from gender dysphoria which it sounds like this little boy

00:10:49.140 james doesn't actually but someone who actually suffers from gender dysphoria is not healed by

00:10:55.680 genital mutilation they're not even healed by cross-dressing this is why the suicide rate for

00:11:02.120 people who transition from one gender to the other via surgery is 19 times higher than the rest of the

00:11:07.800 population and that was a study out of sweden where there is virtually no social stigma whatsoever about

00:11:13.460 being transgender they have been given the wrong solution to their problems the only way for any 1.00

00:11:20.220 sort of healing is via a counselor or a psychiatrist who can help this person make peace with their body

00:11:26.840 reconcile with the body that they have it is not compassionate to indulge someone's hatred of their

00:11:34.120 own body and again this is outside of the case that we're talking about in just the transgender

00:11:39.100 movement in general people who struggle with eating disorders for example often have something called

00:11:45.620 body dysmorphia that's not in every case in which someone has an eating disorder but in many cases

00:11:50.680 they struggle with something called body dysmorphia so it's different than gender dysphoria but it has 0.98

00:11:56.160 some psychological similarities they look in the mirror they see themselves as fat even though they're not

00:12:01.820 they keep starving themselves or throwing up their food or over exercising as they tell themselves that okay

00:12:07.720 in just a few more pounds i'll be fine when i reach a certain weight then i'll be content when i fit into

00:12:14.020 a certain size then i'll be satisfied and anyone that has had an eating disorder i had i had an eating

00:12:20.720 disorder in in college and it wasn't this kind of thing it was more about control and just a whole

00:12:25.980 difficult season that i was going through but i can relate to this in a way anyone with an eating

00:12:31.740 disorder can tell you the disorder is never resolved by reaching a certain weight or fitting

00:12:37.540 into a certain size why because it is the mind that is struggling it is the mind that needs healing

00:12:44.380 not the body that needs changing uh would it then be loving of us if we're going on this example as a

00:12:50.920 society or as a counselor or as a friend of the person with an eating disorder to affirm their

00:12:56.840 dysmorphia by telling the person suffering that they are in fact fat when they're not that uh would it be

00:13:03.240 loving to say yes you are overweight when they're not actually overweight yes there is a little bit

00:13:08.180 of a muffin top left that you could probably get off if you worked a little bit harder yes i do

00:13:13.340 see a few dimples of cellulite that you could probably get rid of yes you could stand to lose

00:13:18.800 a few more pounds when they actually have no pounds to lose to actually make them healthy would it be

00:13:24.520 loving or kind to affirm someone in this no of course it wouldn't we all know that it wouldn't

00:13:30.800 it would be loving to help them make peace with the body that they've been given and to treat it

00:13:34.740 with respect and to be actually healthy the same goes for people with ginger dysphoria no your body

00:13:41.840 is not a mistake you were born a female and you are a female it's okay if you don't like to go

00:13:48.160 shopping it's okay if you don't like romantic movies it's okay that you like sports all of these

00:13:53.540 things are okay and you are a woman you are we know as christians made in the image of god you were

00:13:59.280 created purposefully without mistake that is the loving thing to tell someone that is the loving

00:14:04.980 thing to do is the right thing to do this goes for any mental struggle that we have if you're wrestling

00:14:09.860 with anxiety or fear as your friend i am not going to affirm your paranoia in that i am not going to say

00:14:17.740 yes everyone probably does hate you you're right you are really embarrassing you probably will be a

00:14:23.540 failure forever everyone probably is out to get you you are going to sound really stupid whenever 0.55

00:14:29.020 you talk that's not the loving thing to do no i am going to help you lean on god trusting god

00:14:35.260 his sovereignty to help you reconcile with reality make peace with reality i don't want your mind to

00:14:42.080 be at war with what is true and what is right people who struggle with ginger dysphoria deserve 0.98

00:14:47.280 compassion and they deserve to get help that actually makes sense we talked about a story last

00:14:53.920 week about a former transgender activist in the uk who detransitioned and is raising awareness about

00:14:59.860 the hastiness of doctors to transition patients without considering other solutions or uh taking

00:15:05.980 into account other mental health problems that they have or that they may be suffering from that can

00:15:11.080 contribute to a dysphoric view of their bodies there was this whole study uh not too long ago and this

00:15:17.140 professor who conducted the study got dragged through the mud for saying that there actually is a social

00:15:22.560 component to what is called rapid onset gender dysphoria in teenagers that it actually happens not

00:15:28.940 because they are uncomfortable in their own skin or they want to be the opposite sex but because there 0.92

00:15:33.480 are these pods online on youtube on social media uh on tumblr whatever it is that kids use these days to

00:15:41.080 interact with one another that encourage this idea that they should be transgender this idea that they 0.64

00:15:47.240 should be queer that they should be gender fluid it's become almost trendy almost uh cool in a way and

00:15:54.860 gives them kind of a sense of belonging if they're struggling with adolescence to say yeah i'm transgender

00:16:00.200 that is why there is such a strong connection between children with autism often and transgenderism

00:16:06.620 it is a disorder of the mind it is a developmental issue often when it happens in adolescence and it's not

00:16:13.840 something to be indulged in that is not loving um but unfortunately this is going to happen more and

00:16:19.180 more as we begin to see the sad results of people being victimized by the lie that your body is a

00:16:24.420 mistake and is at war with who you quote actually are which is the world tells us is just how you feel

00:16:31.500 um if you haven't listened to the interview that i did with nancy piercy who is a professor she's author

00:16:37.700 of the book love thy body she wrote a ton of other awesome books um i conducted this interview a few

00:16:42.740 weeks ago you've got to go listen to this conversation she is brilliant um you can watch

00:16:46.940 it on youtube you can listen anywhere you listen to podcasts she explains in her book that the secular

00:16:53.360 ethic of the body is a separation of the outer self and the inner self with the inner self and its

00:16:59.720 feelings being the the real self and the body simply being a tool for the inner self to use however it

00:17:06.900 sees fit which of course is relative and subjective to however whatever your whim is at the moment

00:17:12.560 which means that the body has no natural or specified purpose in this worldview in itself

00:17:18.180 but rather its purpose is determined by our feelings this applies not just to transgenderism but she

00:17:24.120 argues also homosexuality and abortion and hookup culture as well it is the biblical ethic of the

00:17:30.620 individual that honors the body as an image bearer of god created purposefully for particular functions

00:17:36.520 that are not just good for us physically but right for us emotionally healthy for us spiritually as

00:17:42.360 well and it is specifically the christian outlook that further fuse views the body not only as made in

00:17:49.620 god's image but also a dwelling place for the holy spirit if you are a believer first corinthians 6 18

00:17:56.080 through 20 says this flee from sexual immorality every other sin a person commits is outside the body but

00:18:03.140 the sexually immoral person sins against his own body or do you not know that your body is a temple of the

00:18:09.680 holy spirit within you whom you have from god you are not your own for you are bought with a price so

00:18:15.420 glorify god in your body there is no way to glorify god with our bodies by distorting the body's

00:18:22.700 purpose the purpose of the human body and gender and sexuality are so important that god actually

00:18:29.760 specifies his will for these things in the very beginning at the dawn of time he wastes no time

00:18:35.900 whatsoever saying this is what your body is created for there is a specific function for the body and

00:18:41.580 when you go outside of this not only is it a moral according to the only standard setter that we have

00:18:47.360 which is the god of the universe um it is also going to end in destruction and despair and pain

00:18:52.800 and sadness when it comes to gender which does correspond with sex and has for all of human history by the

00:18:59.260 way when it comes to gender genesis 127 says this so god created man in his own image in the image of

00:19:06.700 god he created him male and female he created them for the christians for believers in god's word

00:19:14.180 end of story end of story when it comes to gender there is no other way to interpret that and no gender

00:19:21.500 and sex as i said are not separate sex corresponds with gender and except in rare cases which people are

00:19:28.340 suffering from a mental disorder they have always corresponded uh when it comes not just to sex and

00:19:34.400 gender but also sexuality god says this at the dawn of time genesis 224 therefore a man shall leave his

00:19:41.520 father and his mother and hold fast to his wife and they shall become one flesh and as we know from the

00:19:47.860 episode on biblical marriage that i did a few months ago there's a deeper reality to that verse that

00:19:52.760 underscores the importance of a marriage being between a man and a woman there is gospel

00:19:57.900 significance as i've said many times the male and female marriage is rooted in creation it is

00:20:03.800 reiterated in the new testament it is reflected in christ's relationship with the church which is

00:20:09.660 representative of the gospel and i'm going to bring this all full circle to the case that we were

00:20:13.900 talking about but ephesians 5 28 through 33 says this in the same way husbands should love their wives

00:20:20.580 as their own bodies he who loves his wife loves himself for no one ever hated his own flesh but

00:20:27.420 nourishes and cherishes it just as christ does the church because we are members of his body therefore

00:20:33.880 a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife and the two shall become one flesh

00:20:39.840 this mystery is profound and i'm saying that it refers to christ in the church however let each one of

00:20:46.640 you love his wife as himself and let the wife see that she respects her husband no christianity 0.98

00:20:53.160 doesn't base its adherence to heterosexual marriage uh off of a few verses though it would be okay if it

00:21:02.180 did but it doesn't it bases its definition of marriage on a mysterious yes yet persistent truth 0.65

00:21:07.900 that is used as a thread to pull us through the pages of scripture as we see that the bible starts

00:21:12.680 with a marriage and ends with a marriage god's definition of sexuality of gender of sex and of

00:21:19.640 marriage are purposeful they are fixed they are scientific they are significant they are not meant

00:21:26.000 to be manipulated and when they are as we see the result is confusion and chaos and pain this is also

00:21:33.940 why by the way it has become impossible to be a leftist and a christian you cannot call yourself a proper

00:21:42.020 leftist if you believe in this biblical definition of uh marriage and sex and gender and sexuality you

00:21:49.640 just can't you have to pick one this is also why christians uh the time has come and gone for us to be

00:21:56.060 able to separate politics from the rest of our lives we can't be apathetic anymore uh we can't be shy

00:22:02.160 about it we can't be quiet about this we can't refuse to talk about the so-called controversial social or

00:22:07.460 cultural issues because they're awkward for us to discuss and they might hurt people's feelings

00:22:12.460 we can't avoid this anymore do you care about your children i know all of you listening who have kids

00:22:19.380 do if you care about your children we have to look at what is happening in texas texas to a seven-year-old

00:22:26.500 boy not california texas where because of a fear of the leftist mob a judge and a jury are giving a woman

00:22:33.740 the right to chemically castrate her son without the consent of his father this is something that

00:22:39.040 christians should care about and just because we find our basis for gender and sex and sexuality in

00:22:43.520 the bible doesn't mean that we shouldn't be talking about this stuff there is right and wrong end of 0.97

00:22:48.140 story and if god doesn't exist there is no right and wrong so it doesn't make any sense for us not to

00:22:52.780 talk about god when we're talking about issues of morality and this is not just an issue of science

00:22:56.200 it is an issue of morality and it threatens all of us not just this family according to the heritage

00:23:01.620 foundation last year in ohio a judge removed a biological girl from her parents custody after

00:23:07.380 they declined to help her quote transition to male with testosterone supplements the cincinnati

00:23:13.540 children's gender clinic recommended these treatments for gender dysphoria when her parents

00:23:18.560 wanted to treat her with counseling instead the county prosecutor charged them with abuse and neglect

00:23:23.280 while transgender activists and pro-trans doctors compared their decision to denying treatment for

00:23:29.160 asthma or even cancer patients that all happened this article says without federal legislation and

00:23:35.760 here's where we need to pay attention right now but now the article goes on to say one of house speaker

00:23:42.740 nancy pelosi's top legislative priorities the equality act could give the transgender community a vice grip 1.00

00:23:49.000 over the medical profession it could open the floodgates for lawsuits against doctors who don't fall in line

00:23:54.820 with transgender ideology politicizing the medical treatment of gender dysphoria could lead to more 0.96

00:24:00.960 prosecutions against parents who refuse to aid in the sterilization of their children as more doctors

00:24:07.200 recommend that children take puberty blockers at age 11 cross-sex hormones 16 and undergo sex reassignment 0.90

00:24:13.860 surgeries at 18 parents who resist could face charges of child abuse and lose custody of their children

00:24:22.320 go back and listen to episode 115 about the equality act in full later if you are interested about that

00:24:29.700 piece of legislation that is the darling legislation of the left of the current democratic party and will

00:24:35.340 continue to be pushed for years to come until it is passed the time has come and gone for christians

00:24:41.880 to be apathetic the article also goes on to say the american psychological association's manual of mental

00:24:48.780 disorders classifies gender dysphoria as a mental illness research shows 75 to 95 percent of children

00:24:55.600 with gender dysphoria who go through through puberty without any transgender treatments actually become

00:25:01.720 comfortable with their bodies but the transgender movement ignores these statistics aggressively a push

00:25:08.520 aggressively pushing for gender dysphoric children to be treated with non-fda approved uses of drugs

00:25:14.760 even though side effects can include loss of bone density decline of cognitive ability and infertility

00:25:22.300 i've said it before and i will say it again there will come a day when the government run by leftists

00:25:29.300 and acquiesced by weak conservatives will come for your kids because you are not teaching them that gender

00:25:36.220 is a social construct you are not teaching them to hate their bodies and that they should transition into

00:25:42.020 another sex if they feel just a little bit confused when they're seven years old how did this happen

00:25:46.520 well a few things uh conservatives are certainly to blame not as much as the left maybe but maybe so

00:25:54.360 maybe we're equally to blame uh conservatives gave up on public education surrendered it to the left

00:26:00.540 conservatives have given up on social issues and on the belief that god is the foundation for

00:26:07.220 conservatism because we think that we'll gain more young people by embracing moral relativism and

00:26:12.000 only focusing focusing on capitalism uh godlessness has taken root as we have replaced the god of

00:26:18.760 scripture with the god of self and what are the only two values as we've talked about so many times on

00:26:24.740 this podcast that the god of self has doing what you want to do and being yourself having uh autonomy

00:26:32.040 and being able to do you that's it and if these are your only two values then anything goes morality

00:26:38.300 is uh completely relative you are your own god so you are your own arbiter of truth and right and

00:26:46.000 wrong and you will employ the powers of the government to ensure that you can live authentically

00:26:50.960 and that no one not even a parent is allowed to get in the way it's all connected guys by the way

00:26:57.600 this is why i think it's stupid for conservatives to give up on the social issues as if they're not all

00:27:03.220 connected godlessness is the basis for ideologies like socialism and communism when you have to

00:27:10.020 employ the powers of the government to take care of you and to make sure that you are able to live in

00:27:15.560 your morally relative bubble and then you know religious bigots can't get in the way that is why

00:27:20.820 communism socialism never exists alongside religious liberty uh there's a group called the kelsey

00:27:27.840 coalition that calls attention to how the medical system um surrenders their better judgment when

00:27:33.420 treating kids with ginger dysphoria and instead given to uh given hastily to their desire for a

00:27:39.100 transition one mom shared her story about her daughter and it's just totally tragic it is hard

00:27:44.140 to believe that my once beautiful healthy child now 19 years old is in and out of homelessness

00:27:49.800 bearded her breasts amputated and reproductive organs removed and living in extreme poverty

00:27:56.220 all just to be her quote authentic self she goes on to explain that her daughter never showed signs

00:28:03.180 of gender dysphoria but that she was just struggling in her teenage years as most of us do i don't think

00:28:08.560 any of us can say we were completely comfortable in our skin for all of our teenage years and so she

00:28:13.240 took her daughter to a counselor uh her daughter was insecure she was anxious um eventually the counselors

00:28:19.160 actually suggested that she may have ginger dysphoria because she wasn't comfortable in her skin and she was

00:28:24.120 insecure and that she should maybe start on testosterone therapy the mother was skeptical and she was sad but

00:28:29.900 she wanted her daughter to be happy to get better to feel whole so she hoped for the best and she told

00:28:35.000 the doctors that actually she doesn't think that her daughter has gender dysphoria she thinks that she's 1.00

00:28:39.740 on the autism spectrum but uh they didn't listen she now realizes this mom what a mistake this all was

00:28:46.220 this is what happens when a society is marked by godlessness it makes no sense there is no moral

00:28:54.700 standard there is no a cohesive comprehensive logical ethic of the body it has no idea what is right and

00:29:05.300 what is wrong science even starts to become subjective it starts to bow to the god of self rather than to the

00:29:12.480 god of scripture and you have chaos and this is why christians should not give in this is why we have

00:29:19.920 to care about what goes on politically and this is why conservatives can't give up on the social and the

00:29:25.720 cultural stuff because it matters it is all connected and this is why yet again it is so hard if not

00:29:32.300 completely impossible for someone with a biblical worldview with a christian ethic to also be on the left side

00:29:39.200 of the aisle that is not saying that god is going to ask you whether you are on the left or the right

00:29:43.620 when you get to heaven i'm not saying that's the standard for salvation of course not jesus has reached

00:29:48.460 that standard on our behalf and god transcends politics but i'm saying if you want a worldview that

00:29:53.100 makes any sense whatsoever you can't be on the left and a christian at the same time you can't you can't

00:29:59.660 believe even a word of genesis if you are going to be a leftist worth their salt that god made them male and

00:30:05.960 female and that he created one man for one woman and that is supposed to be the exclusive context of 1.00

00:30:12.560 sex you can't believe any of that if you are going to be a leftist these days you just can't that's why

00:30:18.740 it's impossible okay that's what i want to say about that as you know it's taken up pretty much

00:30:23.720 the whole time now let me just say one thing about this beth moore john mcarthur drama because it's

00:30:30.920 turned into this thing that i don't think it should even have turned into let me play you a clip

00:30:36.020 for your stretches i will say a word and then the three of you need to give a one or a pithy

00:30:41.960 response to the word are you like i'm being set up

00:30:45.300 that is always the case with todd watch out for him he will try to embarrass you we're gonna start out

00:30:53.620 this is this is just kind of touching your toes easy easy setup for you let's begin with an easy one

00:30:59.060 the word is beth moore

00:31:01.780 that's two words

00:31:05.880 liberalist all right dr mcarthur beth moore

00:31:11.400 how many words do i get you know actually and before you answer this please think carefully this

00:31:20.140 time because last time you did a one word association the guy wrote a book about it and

00:31:24.440 we don't want that i was thinking of the same word okay go home

00:31:30.000 okay so there are very mixed reactions to this i'm just going to be honest with you and i've gotten

00:31:38.940 a lot of blowback for this uh from christians christians that i agree with and christians that

00:31:43.740 i respect okay let me but let me say before i give my opinion i love john mcarthur i have learned

00:31:50.520 so much from him i listen to his sermons very often i read his books i align with him on i maybe

00:31:59.360 everything theologically maybe no maybe not everything because we probably disagree about

00:32:04.700 the role of the government and things like that but gosh i respect him he's been a faithful

00:32:08.700 minister preacher of the word for i think it's over 50 years now i can't even scratch the surface

00:32:16.620 in my brain of the knowledge that he has of the bible and i just respect him so much and love

00:32:25.000 everything that he has done for the kingdom of god or god has done through him so let me say that

00:32:29.920 and on the other hand uh beth moore unfortunately i think has employed some false tactics in her preaching 1.00

00:32:36.940 of the word um she has also completely completely swallowed the social justice doctrine and is peddling 1.00

00:32:44.860 critical race theory on her twitter page and befriends people who call themselves christians

00:32:49.820 yet are very obviously living in a way and preaching in a way that is uh opposed to the word of god

00:32:57.280 like gin hat maker for example um so that's where i stand with this these two people and let me also

00:33:04.040 say that i completely agree with john mcarthur about women preaching from the pulpit from the pulpit

00:33:10.780 in church i did an entire episode called women in the church that talks about why the bible has

00:33:16.580 reserved this specific role of ministry for men there is a reason for it and it's a good reason it's a

00:33:22.200 protective reason of women it's not a degrading reason toward women so all of that said i just didn't

00:33:29.100 like this clip i just didn't like it i'm gonna be honest with you i heard it i understand john

00:33:34.860 mcarthur is known for his very direct responses and saying go home wasn't necessarily bad in and of

00:33:42.180 itself i guess just the whole context of everything the game that was being played i know it's been

00:33:47.680 played before he said that stephen furtick was unqualified which i also happen to agree with

00:33:52.580 um i just didn't like the celebration and the sneering and the laughter it to me it seemed mean

00:33:58.580 spirited now i understand people are saying oh why don't you just read the bible the bible is a lot

00:34:03.680 more harsh about this maybe you should be upset about the fact that beth moore is leading people

00:34:08.260 astray that's a false binary i think that i can rejoice in the bible's specified roles for men and

00:34:14.920 women within marriage within the church whatever it was i think i can agree with john mcarthur's reasoning

00:34:19.580 and still watch the celebration or listen to the celebration and think oh i didn't really i didn't like

00:34:26.740 that i think that there's a better more effective way for rebuke um you can disagree with me

00:34:33.540 that's totally fine but gosh some of you have lost your cool over me saying oh i didn't really

00:34:39.480 love that it wasn't really my favorite actually when i first saw it or when i first listened to it

00:34:44.440 my heart kind of sank and i got a pit in my stomach thinking that's just going to give more fuel to the

00:34:50.340 feminist fire unfortunately and it has it has and we can't control that of course we can't control 1.00

00:34:55.780 responses to the things that we say i just didn't like it i didn't think it was effective

00:34:59.960 didn't think it was the right thing to do and the crowd and the reaction just kind of all bothered me

00:35:05.780 so that's all i'm going to say now you can disagree with me we can agree to disagree and knowing that

00:35:11.880 we agree on the on the issue that actually matters which is the role of men and women within the church

00:35:17.980 feel free to message me about that if you have any thoughts on it i've gotten a ton of messages about

00:35:24.420 it though from a lot of you who do agree with my reasoning and reaction and a lot of you who don't

00:35:30.180 and that's okay to me that's a very tertiary disagreement um okay that's all i have to say

00:35:36.300 and i hope that you guys have a great rest of your week but we will be back here on friday with an

00:35:40.640 awesome interview as always that you're not going to want to miss so i will see you then

00:35:44.940 you
