hey guys welcome to relatable happy wednesday hope you guys have had a great week so far
00:00:06.640
guys kanye hecking west i can't believe i cannot believe this whole firestorm and i mean firestorm
00:00:16.660
in a good way that has happened over the past few days regarding kanye west like we're talking
00:00:22.960
gold digger person we're talking married to kim kardashian we're talking about the guy who just
00:00:28.900
a few months ago or maybe it was a year ago came out with uh this song talking about like i can't
00:00:35.260
even say actually what the song was about it was really catchy everyone was talking about it so i
00:00:39.880
listened to it and but i i can't even talk about what the song was about because it was that
00:00:44.600
inappropriate and now he's coming out or he has come out with a gospel album called jesus is king
00:00:50.420
that people have been talking about so i don't want to get all into that yet because we are going to
00:00:54.120
talk about that album what i think about it what my favorite song is the media reaction to it
00:00:59.720
we're going to talk about some of the interviews that he's done is this a real deal should christians
00:01:04.360
care what should we think about all of this so we are going to get into that we're also going to talk
00:01:09.980
about the quote terrorist in chief that was killed in a military operation of course under the uh under
00:01:17.840
the authority of our commander in chief president trump and what the media had to say about that
00:01:23.480
we might talk about some other news stories as well i'm going to give you an update on james younger
00:01:29.360
the little boy out of texas who was caught in the custody battle between his mom and his dad
00:01:33.700
his mom who wanted to transition him into a girl named luna the dad said uh whoa whoa whoa this is a
00:01:40.700
seven-year-old who identifies as a boy according to that we're going to talk about um the the latest news on
00:01:46.820
that okay guys let's talk about kanye west you have been asking me to address this for the past few
00:01:52.360
days i kind of wish that i had been able to do it on monday but we had to talk about the decline
00:01:56.400
of christianity which is imminent and all of the implications of that which is also kind of a big
00:02:01.260
deal but second big deal that's going on right now is that kanye west has actually delivered a gospel
00:02:09.060
album and i'm just gonna let you guys know i've been watching through well i used to watch i don't
00:02:14.880
follow them really anymore but i used to see snippets on instagram from kim kardashian of their
00:02:21.400
sunday services when they had it seemed like a thousand people dressed in all white singing
00:02:27.040
gospel songs it sounded amazing but guys i'm just gonna let you know i was always skeptical of that
00:02:32.300
it's easy and probably wise to be skeptical at least initially of celebrity christianity because
00:02:39.560
we see so much new age ideology and off base theology coming from hollywood because their
00:02:48.400
beliefs in general just typically are not correct about anything spiritually or morally so i was
00:02:54.660
skeptical about this i was like surely this is not a theologically sound gathering surely the gospel
00:02:59.680
isn't really pretty surely they don't talk about sin and salvation and jesus and all of that it's
00:03:03.840
probably just this kind of like feel good new agey type thing so i'll let you know i was skeptical
00:03:09.980
about this and then i started to hear mumblings that kanye west has become a believer that he has
00:03:14.740
really been saved now i have friends who have been fans of kanye west for a long time who have been
00:03:19.800
saying for years kanye west is a christian he's a christian he's a christian but kanye west himself
00:03:24.460
has come out and said i thought that i was a christian he said life of pablo i think that was one of his
00:03:29.440
previous albums in the past few years he said he thought that was a gospel album and it had an
00:03:34.100
inappropriate picture of a woman on it and he's the one who was saying he thought he was saved then
00:03:38.060
but he's really saved now and he does everything for god he's been asked in the interview are you a
00:03:43.700
christian artist now he says i'm a christian everything now the things that are coming out of
00:03:48.920
his mouth kanye west's mouth sounds like no one knows his heart i don't know his heart i certainly
00:03:54.960
haven't spent time with him the things that are coming out of kanye west's mouth now the same guy
00:04:00.040
who has become famous for worshiping himself and idolizing himself sound like a regenerated man
00:04:07.220
sound like someone who has been swayed by the holy spirit who has become a new creation and who is
00:04:13.820
starting a life of self-denial rather than self-glorification and self-promotion the thing that
00:04:18.880
he has been known for for so long that's what it sounds like i mean this guy is publicly talking
00:04:23.900
about the damage that porn has had on his soul his addiction to porn how it started when he was
00:04:29.900
just five years old when he saw a playboy magazine that a dad that his dad had left out how that has
00:04:34.740
just enslaved his mind uh for his entire life how he is now freed from that he talked publicly um or he
00:04:42.700
talked on keeping up with the kardashians to kim i saw an article on this uh telling her that yes what
00:04:49.420
you wear is hot but hot for who talks about how what she wears obviously she's known for flaunting
00:04:56.180
her body what she wears actually hurts his soul and he has a problem with that he has a problem he has
00:05:02.500
said with their daughter who i think is six years old wearing makeup he apparently reportedly asked his
00:05:09.140
team who worked on this album to stop having premarital sex and to pray and to fast while they were
00:05:15.020
working on the album i mean that's pretty crazy that's pretty crazy if you know anything about
00:05:19.880
kanye west if you know anything about his lyrics the songs that he has sung the the words that he has
00:05:26.160
rapped you know that this is different and sure we can sit back and be cynical and skeptical and say
00:05:34.140
is this real is this valid i mean this is the same guy that has rapped things that i would never let
00:05:41.240
my child here he has uh only ever cared about himself he is some people i've even heard people
00:05:47.720
say this which i think is completely insensitive and disrespectful and wrong but some people have
00:05:52.060
even said oh well he's bipolar he's crazy he has a mental problem so this is a real as if god can't
00:05:59.860
save people who have some sort of mental deficit he certainly saves people that have moral deficits
00:06:05.600
those are the only kind of people he saves because we all have moral deficits and we all have our
00:06:10.600
bad habits and hang-ups and we are all dead in sin apart from christ and in christ alone we are
00:06:15.860
made alive in him by grace through faith so that no one could boast this is what the gift of eternal
00:06:21.480
life is and it seems like just as an outsider looking in someone who doesn't know him personally
00:06:27.060
and hasn't seen his walk firsthand it seems like it seems like he has been made alive he has been
00:06:35.000
raised from death to life that he has received this gift of salvation um about which no one can boast
00:06:42.620
because it is given to us in the graciousness of god uh that's an amazing transformation if so
00:06:50.260
and so we can sit back and be skeptical all we want to we can question it because of who he was or who he
00:06:57.500
is or because he's a celebrity because he's rich because he's married to kim kardashian
00:07:01.940
but i think that it is far more freeing far more glorifying for us to celebrate the fact that no
00:07:09.560
matter what whether or not this is real which i happen to personally think it is but whether or not
00:07:16.120
this is real uh that the name of jesus is being glorified just those three words the name of the album
00:07:23.640
jesus is king have been googled millions of times his album is number one on spot as a spotify all of the
00:07:31.320
songs on the album are in the top charts of spotify people are listening to the name of christ being
00:07:38.660
proclaimed and god is being glorified through that i don't care if it's through kanye west
00:07:43.060
or through pastor the name of god is being glorified god can use anyone and right now what we cannot deny
00:07:51.380
whether or not we know kanye's heart what we cannot deny is that the gospel is being preached
00:07:55.840
probably to people who have either never heard it never understood it and never expected to hear
00:08:01.480
it from someone they admire like kanye west uh my favorite song on the album of course of course it
00:08:07.540
happens to be uh the only song with a cuss word in it but my favorite song on the album is god is and i
00:08:14.680
am going to read you um some of those lyrics because i happen to think that they are very powerful
00:08:23.800
everything that i felt praise the lord i could sing this because i know the tune i've listened
00:08:28.460
to this so many times but i'm going to spare you i'm going to spare you that it says everything that
00:08:33.240
i felt praise the lord worship christ with the best of your portions i know i won't forget all he's done
00:08:37.920
he's the strength in this race that i run every time i look up i see god's faithfulness and it shows
00:08:43.320
just how much he is miraculous i can't keep it to myself i can't sit here and be still everybody i will
00:08:49.540
tell till the whole world is healed king of kings lord of lords all the things he has in store from
00:08:54.460
the rich to the poor all are welcome through the door i feel like a beat poet right now uh you won't
00:08:59.240
ever be the same when you call on jesus name listen to the words i'm saying jesus saved me now i'm saying
00:09:04.400
and i know i know god is the force that picked me up i know christ is the fountain that filled my cup
00:09:09.500
i know god is alive he has opened my vision given me a revelation this ain't about a blank religion
00:09:15.660
jesus brought a revolution all the captives are forgiven uh time to break down all the prisons
00:09:21.180
every man every woman there's freedom from addiction jesus you have my soul sunday service on a roll all
00:09:26.680
my idols let them go all the demons let them know this is a mission not a show this is my eternal soul
00:09:31.760
and he goes on for a little bit more he says that's what god is i just think those lyrics are so
00:09:37.860
powerful and indicative of a changed heart that is what the holy spirit does he changes our affections
00:09:44.980
and when we love something we want to talk about it we want to sing about it he says apparently that
00:09:50.180
he's going on tour very quickly he wants to share the gospel he says that's what happens when you
00:09:56.660
become saved when jesus christ takes hold of your life when he becomes your lord your master your savior
00:10:01.580
when you realize what he did for you things change everything changes so when we hear him talking about
00:10:08.900
the damage of pornography or premarital sex or immodesty or wanting to take care of and protect
00:10:16.140
his daughters his children uh wanting to be a christian everything and have christ define what he does
00:10:22.680
uh when he expresses the desire to share the gospel that is a that is an indication of a regenerated
00:10:30.940
a renewed a new heart a new creation and it's amazing to see and i praise god for this
00:10:37.980
i praise god for this and no we don't know we don't know what's going to happen we don't know how
00:10:43.100
uh this story will play out i feel uh i feel a lot for him uh because he is in the public eye
00:10:52.020
he is going to have the influence of every single false teacher that wants to ride on his coattails
00:10:58.420
and wants their name to be attached to his he is going to be uh pulled in every direction of false
00:11:07.500
he is going to be pulled by those who preach the prosperity gospel he is going to uh be pulled by
00:11:14.420
people who preach the social justice gospel he is going to be pulled by the people who preach the
00:11:20.400
self-love gospel that god just wants you to be happy um and i'm sure that right now kanye's theology
00:11:27.540
isn't perfect in fact i i know that it's not i've heard some interviews to where it kind of seems like
00:11:33.200
this um prayers go up blessings come down just just a little bit but we can give him grace in
00:11:38.940
that he's a baby christian he's just learning theology i can tell you some of the things that
00:11:43.780
i thought to be theologically true actually i can't remember them right now but i know that there are
00:11:48.220
things that i thought to be theologically true when i was uh first becoming a believer and learning
00:11:53.480
about the lord that i look back and i'm like how could i possibly have thought that i mean when i was
00:11:57.680
first coming into the faith i read blue leg jazz i read the shack uh i read uh rob bell who came out
00:12:06.300
as a universalist years later i read all of these books that back then basically was saying yeah
00:12:11.400
christianity is uh is one part of world religiosity that can be good and can be helpful but god doesn't
00:12:21.340
really care about what we do i mean i was consuming all of those popular books at the time that probably
00:12:25.760
lended to a really bad theological framework and i think hopefully by the grace of god it's turned
00:12:31.260
out okay and i'm still learning we're learning our entire lives as we're sanctified and we grow up in
00:12:35.980
a knowledge of the truth and that's what i hope for kanye west i have it on very good authority that
00:12:41.120
the people who are discipling him the people who are pastoring him the church that he is a part of that
00:12:46.080
is actually apparently a part of master seminary which is john mcarthur seminary as you know
00:12:51.300
i believe john mcarthur to be extremely solid apparently those are the people that are helping
00:12:56.800
shape him and pushing him towards the lord and that's good that's a good thing he is under reformed
00:13:04.100
theology and i know for different people that can mean different things but he is being preached
00:13:08.220
uh the gospel he is being told the true gospel that doesn't mean that he understands everything
00:13:13.720
as it is right now but he is being preached by people who know the word and my prayer for him as
00:13:19.600
someone who is in the public eye and will be pulled in every direction my prayer for him is that god
00:13:23.980
keeps him that he has discernment that he has wisdom that he keeps his eyes locked on christ and on the
00:13:31.320
cross and that he is not pulled in the directions of false teaching that he is not made to feel guilty
00:13:39.520
by the world that he is not coerced or bullied by the people who don't agree with him or saying that
00:13:45.280
he's a bigot now or that he's crazy for actually believing in the bible because the kind of faith
00:13:50.560
that apparently from what we see that kanye is emulating the world does not like doesn't like it
00:13:56.660
hates it why because the world's the mainstream culture the secular world is only okay with christians
00:14:03.980
as long as they don't actually believe it they're okay with the christians who say oh yeah jesus love
00:14:10.880
great tolerance cool oh yeah charity but not personal charity the government should redistribute
00:14:17.300
wealth that's compassion open borders yada yada yada that's the kind of so-called christianity i put
00:14:23.940
in air quotes if you are not watching this that the world accepts but actual christianity the only
00:14:29.960
christianity that exists biblical christianity that says that you are dead in your sin apart from christ
00:14:34.260
and destined for hell and the only way to be reconciled to a holy perfect god is through belief in
00:14:39.380
jesus christ then you get to spend uh eternity with him and you get joy everlasting and you are able to
00:14:46.420
be steadfast through your trials here on earth that christianity that um demands of us through the power
00:14:52.900
of the holy spirit uh holiness and separation from the world and righteousness and sanctification
00:14:58.680
and the belief in an absolute truth from uh the creator of the universe that christianity again the
00:15:05.480
only christianity that actually exists biblical christianity the world hates the world hates
00:15:10.300
because we're not down with moral relativism we're going to say something is wrong and something is
00:15:15.020
right based on what the bible tells us the world doesn't like that why because the world worships the
00:15:19.760
god of self and the god of self the only thing that matters is that you have control of your life
00:15:24.320
and you get to be yourself you get to do you and determine your own truth and do what feels good to you
00:15:29.960
so the world doesn't like it when someone comes in and says actually there's a god who created the
00:15:35.260
world and he has a purpose for how things are supposed to go he has an order and he by his
00:15:40.440
grace sent his son to die for us that we should be reconciled to him and have the opportunity the
00:15:45.580
privilege the joy uh to be able to spend forever with him and to give him glory here on earth and
00:15:51.700
forevermore as christians they don't the world doesn't like that so connie is going to be bullied
00:15:57.160
no doubt and i just pray i just pray that the lord keeps and protects him and by the way i do want
00:16:02.460
to note i i do want to note this that we should be praying this for all new christians the only reason
00:16:08.400
why we're talking about this more than we talk about someone who is not in the media and whose
00:16:13.420
name is not known who hasn't sold millions of albums who has just become a christian um is simply
00:16:18.880
because it's being covered because it is also a dramatic transformation and it is a public
00:16:26.780
evidence um it is very compelling evidence of what the holy spirit can do can take someone who
00:16:34.200
seems very unlikely who we never would have guessed would come to christ and produce a gospel album
00:16:40.860
um who has apparently done so so that is that is why we are talking about this but of course
00:16:47.520
according to god and in the angels of heaven who rejoice when a sinner comes to repentance by the way
00:16:54.480
that's what jesus says in the gospels um they're they're not rejoicing any more for kanye west than
00:17:02.140
they are for any other sinner who repents and comes to christ he is not special to god or special
00:17:09.600
in heaven because he is famous here on earth no that's not true at all god views us as dead in our sin
00:17:16.740
aka enemies of him that's what the bible says we have in enmity it's a really hard word kind of to say
00:17:22.480
enmity with god if we are not in christ we are dead in our sin or we are alive in christ and friends
00:17:29.920
with god those are the two categories of every single human on earth and uh and that is that is
00:17:39.120
the dichotomy through which we have to view the world and the world certainly doesn't like that
00:17:43.820
dichotomy because it seems bigoted and judgmental um so like i said i've listened to some of his
00:17:49.360
interviews i've read the articles all the things that he's been talking about here is a less
00:17:55.020
theological statement and a more political statement that he made in an interview with big boy tv we
00:18:01.840
brainwashed out here bro come on man this is a free man talking
00:18:06.560
democrats had us voting democrats for food stamps for years bro what is you talking about guns in the 80s
00:18:17.000
taking the fathers at the home plan b lowering our votes making us abort our children god should not
00:18:23.880
kill as i've said many times uh at least nine times out of ten at least nine times out of ten maybe like
00:18:32.180
9.8 9.9 okay probably almost 10 out of 10 when someone's theological views change for the better
00:18:40.280
their political views tend to change for the conservative toward the conservative end when you
00:18:48.060
come to know god you start to love the things that god loves and you start to hate the things that god
00:18:52.500
hates that doesn't mean necessarily that you agree on every single republican talking point i'm certainly
00:18:57.940
not saying that or that you love every republican politician absolutely not there's corruption on both
00:19:03.540
sides but when people come to christ which it seems like this has been a journey that's been
00:19:07.840
happening for him for a while um you tend to see the insanity of leftism which is we've talked about
00:19:15.500
so many times diametrically opposed to any form of biblical christianity that you can name you cannot
00:19:21.000
be a leftist worth their salt uh or you cannot be a christian and be accepted by leftism that's what i need
00:19:26.700
to start saying and so for uh for kanye to say that he sees that they have been brainwashed and that
00:19:36.500
they're aborting their children yeah that's because god hates abortion and if god has truly given kanye
00:19:43.380
a new heart then kanye is going to start hating abortion too and if you don't hate abortion well you've
00:19:49.560
got some you've got some theological deficits that you might need to catch up on by reading the bible
00:19:54.360
and praying for a conviction of the heart um you start to see the godlessness when you come to
00:20:01.540
christ you start to see the godlessness and the tyranny of authorities outside of god's realm which
00:20:07.200
happened to be the government who tries itself to be god when the government tries to usurp god
00:20:12.280
uh chaos ensues confusion ensues tyranny ensues and uh suffering ensues and so that's so often why
00:20:20.900
why uh when people become christians they start to see the damage uh the damaging effects of leftism
00:20:27.900
and i'm not saying that kanye west is like a bona fide conservative or that we should look to him
00:20:32.680
as like some conservative hero or that he should help shape our political views i'm not saying that
00:20:38.300
i just think it's interesting that on a few issues as kanye has come to christ he has probably changed
00:20:45.840
i have no doubt that at one point he was pro-choice i have no doubt about that he actually talks about
00:20:50.760
that in an interview how he used to be politically one way and it's kind of changed it's just
00:20:54.700
interesting interesting example number 700 million thousand bajillion of when someone becomes a
00:21:04.080
christian their political views tend to change as well it just doesn't happen to be towards communism
00:21:10.740
um like i've said many times uh we don't know kanye's heart i we can't we can't really judge
00:21:20.100
what's going on in there we can discern the fruit right now the fruit looks good and what i hope for
00:21:26.460
him and i meant to say this earlier and i kind of got off track what i hope for him what i wish that
00:21:31.300
he would do because i heard that he's going on tour what i wish that he would do is get out of the
00:21:35.540
public eye that's what i want that's just my personal opinion i understand that we want him to kind
00:21:40.580
of be someone who is championing uh these values and championing the gospel and christianity and
00:21:45.860
that's awesome like i if that is god's will god is going to use him and that's going to be wonderful
00:21:50.720
to see i just worry about any baby christian who is out there and who is influenced by so many people
00:21:59.940
who are against him and who might i don't know who might even be opposed to his own family's beliefs
00:22:07.220
it doesn't seem to me i don't i don't know for sure but it doesn't seem to me like kim shares the
00:22:13.100
same regeneration and shares the same faith it doesn't seem like that at all some people are saying
00:22:17.360
oh yeah yeah she just got baptized in her home country that um that's not that's not a proclamation
00:22:28.060
of belief in the gospel it's just not we don't know we don't know um i hope that for her i literally
00:22:34.720
pray that for her people with so much influence it would be awesome if christ uh won all of the
00:22:40.520
kardashians hearts but that to say kanye has a battle ahead of them if he sees the world in modesty
00:22:46.980
and sex and all of that differently than kim does the kardashians who also support planned parenthood
00:22:53.180
publicly uh that's going to be an issue i just hope this is totally just my subjective opinion so take
00:23:00.440
that for what it's worth i just hope and wish that he would step out of the limelight step out of the
00:23:06.040
public eye i don't know maybe even not go on tour and just be at home go to church be in your community
00:23:14.480
study god's word pray serve your family be with your wife uh talk to her about her faith uh help shape
00:23:22.720
her heart lead your family spiritually uh really get a grounding in the word because i i just i i fear
00:23:30.560
and i know that god keeps people that he is going to keep he protects the people that he's going to
00:23:35.020
protect but i just kind of want i don't know i just want him to be protected and i want him to be
00:23:40.540
insulated from all of the people who are going to try to pull him down because i care so much more
00:23:45.940
about his faith his salvation his sanctification his regeneration than uh him going on tour and us
00:23:52.440
all getting this what we believe is a gift that we are entitled to of kanye west christian album
00:23:57.600
so that's my that's my take on that i do want to share with you a verse that reminds me of all of
00:24:03.060
this as we go back and forth between christians saying oh we should we shouldn't celebrate this
00:24:08.880
it's it's still there's still pagan people that are uh produce helping produce this album and this
00:24:14.920
is kanye west he said xyz two years ago here's philippians 118 what then only that in every way
00:24:22.500
whether in pretense or in truth christ is proclaimed and in that i rejoice no we shouldn't idolize him no
00:24:30.600
we're not looking to him as our pastor or to be our theological teacher he is a baby christian
00:24:35.980
uh we should be praying for him and we should hope that he and all of his family uh come close to the
00:24:46.780
lord and are protected and we should rejoice at the fact that no matter what no matter what the gospel
00:24:51.900
is being proclaimed and that is something that we can absolutely celebrate okay that is that's all
00:24:57.700
my kanye take i think i've had a lot of thoughts about this i've been like pretty fired up about it my
00:25:03.120
husband and i have been talking about it a ton we actually brought it up in sunday school the other
00:25:07.260
day because another couple hadn't even heard that this story happened which just reminds me sometimes
00:25:13.120
that so many people are not living in our social media media bubble that you and i are so familiar
00:25:18.980
with it's a little bit comforting actually even though sometimes my mind is blown white my mind is
00:25:24.640
blown by the things that people don't know are going on i'm like you know what there's a lot that goes
00:25:29.420
on there's a lot that goes on in people's lives besides what's going on on on tv and on podcasts
00:25:34.340
and things like that and that's a good thing i never shame people or want to make people feel
00:25:39.620
embarrassed for not knowing something that's going on in hollywood especially but also the news or in
00:25:45.560
capitol hill now issues that actually affect your life of course you should know about it's important
00:25:50.680
that we're educated but if you don't know every single thing that's going on with the impeachment
00:25:54.880
inquiry or impeachment talks of impeachment or everything that's going on with the 2020 election
00:26:00.480
or everything that's going on kanye west and kim kardashian i do not shame you one bit you've got
00:26:04.980
a lot going on you've got things that affect your life way more than this so that's that's also why
00:26:10.120
i'm here but um it's comforting to know that people have higher higher priorities than that and we too
00:26:16.820
can have higher priorities than these things okay speaking of priorities this is very important i want to
00:26:22.540
get to this and then i think we'll get to the all baghdaddy thing because that's short but i want
00:26:27.500
to get to this i have like a pretty good set of commentary that i want to give on this particular
00:26:31.740
subject and so we'll probably end with the the terrorist who was uh killed so i want to give
00:26:38.640
you an update on the texas case involving james younger whose mom sought full custody so she could
00:26:43.800
transition him as we said into a girl without his father's consent this has been going on for a long time
00:26:48.500
i've actually first heard about it last year someone in our sunday school knew this family or
00:26:52.920
knew the dad side and asked us to pray for this and so we've literally before this was even in the
00:26:58.240
news i couldn't believe that this was happening we've been praying for this for a long time uh this
00:27:02.640
is a texas case as i've said involving uh seven-year-old james younger caught in the custody battle
00:27:08.960
between his divorced parents you'll remember that the boy's mother insists that he identifies as a girl
00:27:14.480
goes by the name of luna even though the father and friends of the family and even the gender
00:27:19.000
affirming counselor the mother has taken james to say that he really only identifies as a girl and goes
00:27:24.660
by the name of luna when his mother is with him when his mother takes him to the counselor or when his
00:27:30.660
mother has him at home um in every other instance with his dad with his friends he dresses like a boy
00:27:38.640
he talks like a boy he says he's a boy you should go to the facebook page save james
00:27:43.540
and look at some of the posts on there from a mother of james and his twin brother jude's best
00:27:50.960
friends and talk about it talks about and shows just what a boy he is just a normal seven-year-old
00:27:55.360
boy who's probably confused because he's been abused by his mother so what happened in this we
00:28:00.360
were afraid that the mother was going to get sole custody and be able to go forward with hormone therapy
00:28:06.360
and puberty blockers which he was planning to do before he actually reached the age of eight
00:28:10.800
uh so within the next year that is also known as chemical castration uh thankfully the judge
00:28:16.600
actually ruled to give the parents joint custody so his father will have equal say in whether or not
00:28:22.020
they pursue hormone therapy this is good i have a feeling this battle is not over this mother doesn't
00:28:27.160
seem at all mentally stable so it breaks my heart that this boy has to at all be in the hands of his
00:28:34.560
mother he is going to look back more than likely and hate his mother that that is probably what's going to
00:28:40.800
because he is going to be in a few years if this goes on so mentally disturbed and so confused and
00:28:47.580
uh feeling like he was treated like a piece of property by his mother who has this weird sick
00:28:53.040
fantasy of having a seven-year-old daughter named luna even though she has a boy um he will be so
00:28:59.600
disturbed by all of that that he might be irrevocably irrevocably harmed now my prayer my earnest prayer is that
00:29:07.120
that is not the case and that god saves him god has grace on his life god gives mercy to him draws him
00:29:13.320
close to him helps him see truth helps him to discern good from evil at a young age um i feel for james
00:29:21.760
younger i feel for him uh there was this interesting article in the federalist titled why it's probably not
00:29:28.900
a coincidence that the mother transing her seven-year-old son isn't biologically related because
00:29:34.220
this is not his biological mother they actually paid for an egg donor who is a stranger the article
00:29:39.420
is really intriguing it goes through unbiased statistics from princeton for example about the
00:29:44.600
health and well-being of kids who live with their biological parents versus those who live with
00:29:49.240
step parents foster parents and adoptive parents uh kids who live with both their biological parents
00:29:55.320
that would be a mom and a dad by the way even if the home is not perfect they are statistically and in
00:30:01.980
general better off better cared for better adjusted than those who are not this could be why this article
00:30:08.800
argues why the mother is more willing to send her child into the arms of a doctor who has a no interest
00:30:17.080
in this child's future well-being whatsoever who is willing to harm this child physically and irreparably
00:30:23.520
for the rest of his life now let me just say let me give a caveat to this this is not in any way shape
00:30:30.140
or form a knock on adoptive parents or foster parents or step parents most of whom i know have
00:30:37.140
saved a child from a situation in which they were neglected in which they were abandoned abused mistreated
00:30:44.080
etc certainly a child having some form of stability some form of a family who loves them is better than
00:30:52.240
them having none at all or being um a victim of or property of the state adoption is a beautiful thing
00:30:59.260
it is reflective of the gospel as god adopted us to be his sons and daughters through christ it is a
00:31:04.840
beautiful thing and parents who adopt should be thanked they should be praised they should be
00:31:09.880
honored but that does not change the simple fact that studies show that the ideal situation
00:31:17.320
the ideal situation for children is to be raised by their biological parents even when their home life
00:31:23.480
may not be perfect there is an innate instinct for us parents to care for that which came for us god
00:31:30.720
made us that way and again that doesn't mean that god can't allow us to love our adoptive and step and
00:31:36.960
foster children of course of course we love them so much but god made the nuclear biological family for a
00:31:44.260
reason for a purpose there are instincts inside all of us to fight for our own to protect our own so this
00:31:51.260
article argues that that could be part of the reason why the psychologically seemingly unstable mother is
00:31:57.880
less willing to protect her child from something that is going to be so traumatic and physically
00:32:02.140
harmful for him for the rest of his life and this is one thing i know we talk about this a lot but i
00:32:07.140
just think about this so often this is one of the many things i don't understand about those who say
00:32:12.900
that they are christians and also say that they are on the left or christians who are pro lgbtq
00:32:19.640
do you think that god made us arbitrarily like do you think that it didn't matter how god created our
00:32:26.120
bodies do you think that god created the family on accident do you think god lacked a reason to make
00:32:33.240
our bodies as he did do you think it's just a coincidence or purposeless that god in the beginning
00:32:38.660
made us male and female and he said a man will leave his father and mother and the two shall
00:32:46.280
become one flesh to hold fast to his wife and the two shall become one flesh and will from then lord
00:32:52.560
willing be able to be fruitful and multiply do you really think that that didn't matter that that had
00:32:58.700
no lasting implications that that had no real purpose that god just did that coincidentally or by
00:33:04.340
accident do you really think that the family unit god created at the beginning of time and reiterated
00:33:09.540
throughout the old and new testaments and has proven throughout history to be good for children
00:33:13.500
and consequently good for adults and consequently good for society was just a happenstance and do you
00:33:22.200
think that maybe possibly just consider this that rearranging the traditional family that god ordained
00:33:29.340
specifically in his word and has helped create healthy communities and nations for millennia is
00:33:35.420
going to have a negative effect on society isn't that maybe a possibility that we should consider
00:33:40.860
before rearranging the entire family and redefining sexuality and gender uh the episode that i did a
00:33:47.520
while back titled biblical marriage goes into why biblically marriage is meant to be between one man and
00:33:53.320
one woman why theologically that is true it is not just some obscure verse in the old testament
00:33:58.000
uh marriage how god created it is reflective of christ in the church as we read in ephesians 5 therefore
00:34:03.840
it is there is a spiritual uh gospel significance to marriage and far be it from us human beings to mess
00:34:11.800
with that um god's definition of marriage is rooted in creation we say this alliteration a lot rooted in
00:34:18.920
creation reiterated in the new testament represented in the picture of christ in the church which is reflective
00:34:25.200
of the gospel that means it is not accidental it is purposeful there is an eternal significance to it
00:34:32.580
it is not arbitrary and neither is gender which whether you want to believe it or not is the same
00:34:39.540
as sex i know uh god made it this way which means when we wander outside of his balance this is true
00:34:47.360
about everything we are choosing self-worship and self-worship always ends in chaos and confusion and pain
00:34:54.160
and suffering why because if we are all our own gods then who is to say what's right and wrong good and
00:35:00.920
bad that ends in anarchy which is exactly where we are headed this is where godlessness leads you
00:35:07.180
abandon a transcendent moral lawgiver you no longer have a transcendent moral law and what you're left with
00:35:13.280
is your own subjective feeling to determine morality which is how we get to a place to where someone is
00:35:19.200
able to quote decide their gender because feelings rule this is how the god of self operates this is
00:35:26.680
why christians have no business being on the side of the argument regarding james younger that says
00:35:31.640
well he doesn't want to become a girl and that makes it wrong no that's not what makes it wrong yes that
00:35:38.840
might make it especially cruel but that's not what makes it wrong it doesn't matter if the seven-year-old
00:35:44.560
said every day that he wants to be a girl it would still be wrong to give him hormone therapy and
00:35:49.260
puberty blockers that's still abuse why it's not just because 85 to 99 percent of boys who experience
00:35:55.700
feelings of gender dysphoria before puberty actually grow out of it by the time they're teenagers although
00:35:59.960
that matters it's important to note it's because he is a boy it's because he's a boy and he will always
00:36:05.400
be a boy no matter what no matter what he says no matter what he feels no matter what his mom says no
00:36:10.280
matter what his mom calls him no matter how his mom dresses him no matter what operations or procedures
00:36:15.400
or therapy he goes through he will always be a boy his dna is a boy that is reality that is science
00:36:22.340
and therefore socially or medically transitioning him into something he is not whether he believes he
00:36:29.640
wants this or not is wrong it is abuse it will not heal him it will hurt him it's that simple
00:36:36.060
this would be like not just telling your child that santa claus is real and insisting that it's real
00:36:43.120
that santa claus is real but also telling your child to leave home and to go to the north pole to look for
00:36:49.620
him it'll be fine you should definitely do that just go go out hitchhike walk do whatever you have to do
00:36:56.340
go as far north as you possibly can until you find santa claus you would be a bad parent if you let
00:37:04.020
that child pursue their dream and it is even worse it is even worse when it comes to something that is
00:37:10.360
actually happening like giving in to a transgenderism at such a young age really at any age but especially
00:37:17.400
uh when you are controlling your child and pushing uh your child to something that he is not and will
00:37:23.660
never be this is insanity um i am trying to be optimistic when i say that hopefully science will
00:37:30.500
make this gender nonsense impossible that one day we will see what horrific damage these childhood
00:37:35.100
transitions are and we will realize what absolute idiots we were in 2019 um there are talks in the
00:37:43.120
medical world guys of womb transplants womb transplants so that biological men who want to be
00:37:51.100
women and who identify as women can have children look it up you can look it up say womb transplant
00:37:57.440
for transgenderism there is absolutely no thought in the so-called advancements it's really not
00:38:04.800
advancements it's regression there is no thought whatsoever to how this will affect the child
00:38:08.880
there's no thought whatsoever to how this might affect their well-being or even their health or even
00:38:15.260
if they're able to survive inside a male body that has a womb that's not theirs this is godlessness
00:38:20.700
this is the result of godlessness when you don't believe people are made in the image of god and
00:38:25.480
therefore independently and equally valuable you treat those who are weaker than you as dispensable
00:38:30.260
pieces of property as science experiments or social experiments that is what the left that is how the
00:38:36.140
left views children as social experiments useful for the purposes of leftism from transgenderism to
00:38:41.900
abortion to the indoctrination of the lgbtq doctrines at school there is no regard for the mental or emotional
00:38:49.160
well-being of the children they are seen as useful period and that speaks to the reality by the way that
00:38:53.920
progressivism has no end destination it doesn't have a place to where it says okay this is it this is
00:39:00.500
where we want to go except for the obliteration of everything that has ever made anything work or
00:39:06.060
anything good is this what you want is is this the future that you want moms like i've said many times
00:39:12.100
the time has come and gone for christians not to care about what's going on in politics because it affects
00:39:17.320
you it affects your kids it affects your kids schools do you really want to be on a side or be
00:39:22.620
apathetic about a side that views your kids as property um this is true in a lot of different
00:39:28.600
conversations surrounding our kids what they can be taught uh the kind of people that can be hired in
00:39:33.340
their school again uh go back and listen to the episode on uh the equality act i think it's episode
00:39:40.140
115 if i remember correctly and you can learn about the legislation that democrats are trying to push that
00:39:46.160
are going to that's going to affect your family and your kids okay i think that's all i have time for
00:39:50.560
i've got a really long time uh i did want to talk about the fact that a terrorist al-bagdadi was
00:39:57.220
killed which is awesome by the way we should be thanking our military we should be thanking our
00:40:02.020
commander-in-chief president trump whether you like him or not this is a good thing and yet the media
00:40:06.020
couldn't celebrate it they could not celebrate it the washington post said that he should be remembered
00:40:09.980
as an austere religious scholar who died what what these people hate trump so much that they've
00:40:19.020
actually come in the past few years to hate america they hate america and they are okay they
00:40:25.980
would rather a terrorist survive than uh thank trump for something i mean this is a rapist this is a
00:40:32.540
terrorist this is a murderer this is the embodiment embodiment of uh evil this is uh the very thing that
00:40:40.920
anyone no matter what background you come from should be able to look at and say evil that guy needs to
00:40:45.940
die and yet trump derangement syndrome is real so that's just a little recap on that okay we'll be
00:40:51.740
back here on friday we are going to talk about what happened in um ireland and i think it's actually
00:40:58.360
northern ireland what happened with legislation uh surrounding abortion and surrounding uh same-sex
00:41:04.780
marriage there and why that matters for us here i'm really excited about that interview so i will see
