Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 387 ｜ What’s a Woman？ Culture’s Confused; Christianity Is Clear

00:00:00.000 Hey, guys. Welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Today is, I've officially decided and declared

00:00:17.160 Woman Wednesday. We've been talking about this episode all week. I've been preparing

00:00:21.900 for it. I'm super excited about it. We are going to talk about women, what women are,

00:00:27.080 what we aren't, why we matter, the unfair standards that sometimes we are held to,

00:00:33.540 the right standards that God holds us to, how the world is always going to redefine what a woman is,

00:00:40.980 repress true womanhood, even in the name of empowerment, but how the Bible, how Christianity

00:00:46.660 uniquely provides value, provides us identity, provides refuge that we can cling to, that we

00:00:54.220 can run to, and all of the craziness that is surrounding how the world approaches and defines

00:01:02.400 womanhood. So we are going to weave some recent stories into this conversation. We're going to

00:01:07.660 talk about the Cardi B performance at the Grammys. We are also going to talk about women in the military

00:01:14.260 and Tucker Carlson's drama that has unfolded over the past week in regards to that. We're going to

00:01:22.200 talk about boys who identify as girls playing girls' sports, what this actually means for girls' sports.

00:01:29.880 We're going to talk about the very real factual differences between boys and girls, men and women

00:01:36.160 that justify sex-segregated spaces, why this is important, and then what we as Christians, how we

00:01:45.000 as the church can continue to be the place where women run to from the chaos and confusion that

00:01:52.180 characterizes the world. I think this issue deserves clarity because, as we've already established,

00:01:59.200 there are so many competing voices, competing images, competing messages telling us what it really

00:02:05.280 means to be a woman. You've got one form of feminism, or something that calls itself feminism,

00:02:10.240 which says that empowerment means, quote, owning your sexuality the way that Cardi B and Megan

00:02:17.240 the Stallion did in the song WAP, and how they represented this kind of empowerment in their

00:02:22.920 performance at the Grammys. I've read the lyrics to the song. I saw about eight seconds of the

00:02:29.360 performance at the Grammys on Twitter, and I get the gist. I got it. These are women who are pushing

00:02:36.340 the limits on sexuality and self-objectification in order to get attention and to make a profit.

00:02:42.340 I really don't think for them it's much deeper than that. I don't actually think that they're

00:02:47.880 intending to make some kind of social statement on feminism or owning your sexuality or girl power

00:02:55.360 or anything like that. I think it is literally what can we get away with? How can we push the limits,

00:03:01.620 push the boundaries, and make ourselves money? I mean, Cardi B was a stripper before she became a

00:03:08.220 rapper. She has talked openly about how, when she was a stripper, she would drug guys, and then she

00:03:13.760 would rob them of their money, guys that she was having sex with. I mean, she is someone, it seems,

00:03:20.540 who has no problem with glorifying and making light of exploitation and objectification. So it

00:03:26.740 shouldn't surprise us that she's willing to push the limits in her lyrics and performances for money.

00:03:33.340 I think that she would probably admit as much. And like I said, I don't think that she's trying to

00:03:39.260 make a point. I think that she is no different than most performers in this way. I think most

00:03:44.500 performers are just thinking about their own bottom line. But whether she wants to or not, because she

00:03:50.520 is so much influence, because she has so much popularity, her songs and her brand do represent

00:03:56.520 something culturally significant, something that is actually worth examining and looking at,

00:04:01.440 especially when we're talking about what it means to be feminine, what it means to be a woman.

00:04:06.060 They do tell us something about what we tolerate as a society, what we value, and what we are willing

00:04:12.660 to celebrate. And I'm going to do a tangent here. And this might not seem like it has anything to do

00:04:18.680 with womanhood. We're about to talk about the Dr. Seuss thing again. But I think it's important to

00:04:23.940 kind of explain a statement that I and a lot of other people have made in comparing Dr. Seuss and

00:04:31.580 our cancellation, yes, cancellation of Dr. Seuss with the glorification of WAP and Cardi B. And I'll

00:04:39.140 bring it back to the conversation about womanhood and I'll tie it all together. But I want to make

00:04:43.760 something clear after I tweeted that a society that is sensitive to 80-year-old children's books

00:04:51.360 but desensitized to porn is a society that is degenerating, it is disintegrating, not actually

00:04:58.620 progressing. And a lot of you agreed with that. A ton of you did. Most of you did. But I also got

00:05:04.260 some pushback. I also got people that were very angry about this. Someone messaged me and said,

00:05:09.720 as like a Christian mom, you're so stupid. Like she literally was like, you're so stupid and off

00:05:16.200 base. I'm appalled at this comparison. And I said, I'm appalled by your ability, your inability to have

00:05:23.300 a conversation without slinging ad hominems. And she said, wow, and blocked me. So that's the kind of

00:05:28.920 productive conversation that sometimes happens surrounding these statements that some people

00:05:34.700 see as controversial. But I 100% stand by that statement. But lest I be accused of a category

00:05:43.080 error, let me explain what is meant by that. And I'm not the only person that has made that kind of

00:05:47.780 statement in comparison over the past week or so. I understand that WAP, the song, and Dr. Seuss are

00:05:53.540 technically intended for different audiences. The former is for adults. And yes, unfortunately,

00:05:59.620 teenagers, the latter is intended for children. But the point I and others are making isn't about

00:06:05.200 what we show our kids or what's beneficial for kids, even though, of course, that's important,

00:06:09.440 but rather what we decide as a society is intolerable and what is not. So there are people

00:06:16.180 trying to minimize this whole Dr. Seuss controversy saying, oh, Dr. Seuss is not being canceled. He's not

00:06:21.620 being canceled. This is a fake controversy. It's just his estate catching up with the times,

00:06:26.340 deciding that they're no longer going to publish these six books with racist, racist depictions

00:06:31.460 in them, stop trying to pretend like this is something bigger than it actually is. But it's

00:06:37.420 not just that. It's also the National Education Association, the largest teachers union in the

00:06:42.900 country, deciding after two decades to dissociate from Dr. Seuss or dissociate Dr. Seuss from the

00:06:50.620 child literacy, child literacy program, Read Across America, the author that has done more

00:06:57.600 to advance childhood literacy worldwide than any other single author by far, Read Across America Day

00:07:05.100 was on Dr. Seuss's birthday for two decades, was celebrated as such by every presidential

00:07:10.940 administration, including Barack Obama's, who said in 2015, that pretty much all you need to know

00:07:17.060 can be found in Dr. Seuss books. And yet this year, for the first time in decades,

00:07:22.880 the president did not mention Dr. Seuss in his address on Read Across America Day.

00:07:28.020 And here is a report by the Washington Examiner looking at what's behind this change.

00:07:33.220 Quote, the NEA, that's the National Education Association, the largest teachers union in America,

00:07:38.420 partnered with Dr. Seuss Enterprises on Read Across America Day from 1997 to 2019.

00:07:43.900 But that year, the Conscious Kid Library and the University of California, San Diego produced a

00:07:49.560 study on Dr. Seuss's books and found that too few of his human characters were people of color

00:07:55.120 and their portrayal did not pass muster. Now, the union has published a recommended reading list,

00:08:02.940 and I'm sure I don't have to tell you who's on it. What is on the list? For starters, there's when

00:08:07.800 Aiden became a brother about a girl who transitions to use that vocabulary into being a boy. And Stella

00:08:17.140 brings the family about two gay men and their daughter. So the NEA appears to have pressured

00:08:24.500 the Dr. Seuss estate to stop publishing these books, even while they are promoting other books

00:08:30.980 that many people find offensive and many people find morally wrong. They are a left-wing union,

00:08:38.360 as are all teachers unions, in support of every left-wing policy that you can possibly think of,

00:08:43.100 including abortion. They have an entire LGBTQ reading list rife with stories about little boys

00:08:49.280 and little girls who decide to switch genders. So apparently, we think that it's healthy for kids

00:08:54.740 to learn that they can switch genders before puberty. And it's not healthy for them to read an author

00:09:00.620 who wrote some books that have outdated stereotypes. And we haven't even thought about the psychological

00:09:05.800 damage and the confusion this is going to cause children, the physical toll that puberty blockers

00:09:10.880 takes on a child in a teen's body. And we're certain, though, that seeing an Asian person using

00:09:19.380 chopsticks is going to be so traumatizing to culture and to kids that we can no longer celebrate

00:09:25.120 the author who drew them 80 years ago. I don't think that we realize how big and how significant

00:09:32.200 a step it is to cease not the promotion, but also the publication of books that have been widely

00:09:38.540 regarded as classics for decades because of offensive imagery. It's not a question of whether or not the

00:09:44.160 imagery is actually offensive or whether or not people are justified in being offended by them.

00:09:49.720 I can't say what should or should not offend an Asian person reading this book or a Black person

00:09:55.400 reading a book in which they see offensive imagery or depictions that make them uncomfortable.

00:10:02.260 The question is also not whether the estate can cease publication. They can. They have the right to do that.

00:10:09.000 The question is if they should cease publication and if we actually benefit from seeing and learning

00:10:16.620 from things that are outdated and offensive more than we do if we pretend that they never existed.

00:10:23.060 It's the pretending that these things never existed that worries anyone who has studied cultural

00:10:28.060 revolutions of the past. The book burning, the throwing out of the old and the outdated in place

00:10:33.180 of the new, the justification of limiting the scope of knowledge a populace has access to by claiming

00:10:40.180 it's for the progress of society. That's old stuff. We've seen that before. We saw it in China in the

00:10:46.040 20th century. We saw that in Germany. We saw it in the USSR. And just because today in America it's

00:10:51.660 under the guise of anti-racism does not mean that it's healthy. We do not have to cease the publication

00:10:59.100 of popular books to prove that we don't tolerate racism as a society. That's what a repressive,

00:11:04.420 regressive regime does. Not free societies who are tough enough to combat ideas and images that no

00:11:10.680 longer match our values. If you think about Huck Finn, Little House on the Prairie, Uncle Tom's Cabin,

00:11:16.160 To Kill a Mockingbird, Gone with the Wind, these are all classic books that we have also heard are

00:11:21.720 problematic because of racist descriptions of Black people and Native Americans. But until recently,

00:11:27.860 we were able to draw lessons from these books and from the moment in time that they represent.

00:11:33.960 And now the Dr. Seuss controversy absolutely beckons the question of whether or not we are going to be

00:11:41.020 willing to tolerate outmoded tropes and words and depictions to be able to learn something from them

00:11:46.680 and work around them to pull the meat from the bone or not. I think society or I think history tells us

00:11:53.540 that society is a lot stronger when we're able to do that. When we're able to tolerate offense and learn

00:12:00.640 from it and talk about it rather than shove it down an Orwellian memory hole and pretend

00:12:05.820 that it no longer exists. Again, that is dystopian. That is regressive. It's not healthy, especially

00:12:12.920 alongside actively promoting and celebrating gender confusion and sexuality among kids.

00:12:19.100 You cannot tell me that this is a picture of progress. It is not. I'm telling you this does not

00:12:24.380 end well. This does not end where the well-meaning social justice Christians think it will,

00:12:30.100 with more tolerance and love and acceptance. It just doesn't. What happens, the history of left-wing

00:12:37.000 cultural revolutions and dystopian novels tell us is that an increasingly narrow standard of

00:12:44.780 acceptability is applied to everything. It's not that the moral standard is actually being raised in

00:12:50.660 our society right now. It's that it's being changed. It's that it's being redefined into something new.

00:12:56.720 Remember, in Brave New World, if you read Brave New World with us in our women's book club with

00:13:01.760 Ali Stuckey on Facebook, when Mustafa Mond is asked why in the new world people are not allowed to read

00:13:08.400 Shakespeare, he answers, because it's old. That's the chief reason we have any use for old things here.

00:13:15.920 In Mao's cultural revolution in China, you're probably so tired of hearing me say this if you

00:13:20.380 listen to the podcast regularly. The four olds, old culture, old ideas, etc. were exchanged for the

00:13:26.240 four news violently, by the way. People paid for this exchange with their blood. The hope in these

00:13:34.560 left-wing revolutions was to start at year zero, to erase all that's old in the name of progress and

00:13:40.780 start anew. Except it's never about progress and it's always about power. You will learn this.

00:13:47.840 Unfortunately, we're all going to learn this. As Hannah Arendt writes, the most radical revolutionary

00:13:52.820 becomes a conservative the day after the revolution. I'm telling you, this shift of values, the shift

00:13:59.200 of culture that is currently occurring, of what is tolerable and what is not, is not good. It doesn't

00:14:05.620 lead us to a good place. And that shift includes the toleration and the celebration of Cardi B's

00:14:11.340 performance at the Grammys. And you can see how this absolutely ties into the conversation about

00:14:16.300 ceasing the publication of Dr. Seuss books. It's what we are offended by and what we're not. It's

00:14:22.100 not about children's books or simply what we allow our children to see. It's also about what we as an

00:14:27.840 entire society deem offensive and inoffensive, worth celebrating and worth integrating and doing

00:14:33.600 away with. So we celebrate drag queen story hour, gender reassignment for children who don't know how to

00:14:39.120 tie their shoes. We celebrate all forms of perversion, all forms of sexual deviancy,

00:14:44.920 all forms of objectification. We regard a movie like Cuties with nuance, but are unable to offer

00:14:51.260 the same sophisticated analysis when it comes to the potential artistic benefit of Dr. Seuss books.

00:14:57.920 We uplift Cardi B as a powerful woman. We're willing to allow a pornographic routine to play out on our

00:15:03.760 screens. We say, it's okay. It's empowering. It's just autonomy. It's just ownership. We refuse to

00:15:09.060 admit any toxicity. This kind of obscenity may add to our culture, including to our kids' minds, but

00:15:14.700 we're absolutely sure that 80-year-old Dr. Seuss books are too much. They're too much for us to handle.

00:15:21.100 We are desensitized to the things that should shock and disgust us, and we are hypersensitive to the

00:15:26.460 things that we may actually be able to tolerate and learn from. And that is why I think it is a totally

00:15:33.380 fair comparison, and it's a totally fair contrast to look at the reactions to these two things,

00:15:40.500 not because they're the same or technically in the same subcategory, but they do fall under the same

00:15:46.900 larger worldview categories of morality and culture. And here's where we loop it back into this

00:15:53.380 conversation about womanhood and what this means. Feminism has long declared to be against the

00:15:59.920 objectification of women. And they celebrate someone like Cardi B and her performance because

00:16:06.740 they say that this is her taking back her sexuality. This is her owning her body. But the reality is,

00:16:15.160 is that self-objectification is still objectification. Because we have arbitrarily decided that consent and

00:16:23.440 autonomy are the only moral standards worth valuing, we are forced to regard a stripper or a prostitute

00:16:28.760 or a porn star or performers like Cardi B as people that are worth praising, as a behavior that is worth

00:16:37.100 praising. But what if consent and autonomy and ownership are not the only moral standards? What if decency,

00:16:46.160 what if self-control, what if respectfulness and dignity and gasp, chastity are also virtues that we

00:16:53.720 should regard highly? Self-objectification is still objectification. And if progress means viewing women

00:17:00.960 not as objects, but as humans with value, then any form of objectification, whether it's self-imposed

00:17:07.300 or inflicted by someone else, is not advancing the cause of female dignity. Feminists say that they fought

00:17:14.820 so hard for women to be seen as something other than just a tool for men. And now for what? For women to

00:17:22.100 make themselves tools of men themselves? That's what these kinds of performances do. You're telling me

00:17:27.480 that you buy, you actually buy the idea that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are, quote, taking back

00:17:34.440 their sexuality by dressing and dancing and talking exactly the way that perverted men want them to?

00:17:44.060 That's how you're saying screw the patriarchy? Yeah, all the pervy men that you say that you're

00:17:49.560 sticking it to are really excited about this form of resistance. That's not independent. That's not

00:17:56.320 liberating. You can say all you want to that this is ownership of her sexuality. The truth is men still

00:18:02.200 watch this and see them as objects, and it helps them see other women as objects, too. All pornography

00:18:07.440 does, by the way, it doesn't matter if the porn star loves what she does and is having a great old time.

00:18:13.340 The guy watching her on the screen is still objectifying her. And you cannot tell me that that creates

00:18:18.540 a culture of greater respect for women where our dignity and humanity are more highly regarded where

00:18:23.800 we are viewed as empowered. I just don't buy it. But this is what postmodernism does. This philosophy

00:18:30.880 of moral relativism, it makes hearts of stone and brains of mush, as we've said many times on this

00:18:36.320 podcast. And you know who are always the victims of postmodernism, of this kind of moral relativism,

00:18:42.540 which always leads to moral depravity, children, the elderly, and women, always the most vulnerable.

00:18:50.000 And just to note, Cardi B apparently thinks autonomy and consent and owning her sexuality and ownership

00:18:56.320 of her body are empowering when it comes to flaunting her own sexuality. But she didn't think those things

00:19:01.400 were important when she was drugging and robbing guys several years ago. I just think that that's

00:19:05.040 interesting. And by the way, admitting that wasn't enough for her cancellation. She had a campaign

00:19:10.080 interview with Joe Biden to talk policy after admitting that. So are you starting to get the

00:19:16.920 picture? Are you starting to get the picture that these people that paint themselves as our exemplars,

00:19:22.080 that paint themselves as people that we should be admiring and worshiping, are not people that we

00:19:28.000 should be taking moral cues from? That the people in charge, that the so-called elites aren't the people

00:19:33.760 that we need to be looking to decide what's right and what's wrong? That as women, we cannot be

00:19:39.460 and should not be defined by a culture who has no idea what empowerment looks like. And more than

00:19:45.200 that, cannot even define what a woman is. And that's going to transition us into the next part

00:19:51.460 of this as we talk about how culture is not just denigrating women, objectifying women, even in the

00:19:57.400 name of empowerment and self-objectification, how society is saying that it's advancing the cause of

00:20:02.620 women. But it's actually regressing the cause of women. We're also going to look at this

00:20:07.380 redefining of what it means to be a woman and how this further hurts women.

00:20:17.480 So you guys know, since Biden's executive order expanded Title IX in order that all public

00:20:24.100 institutions must allow boys to identify as girls to compete in girls' sports and enter girls' spaces,

00:20:31.300 there have been a few pieces of legislation in various states aimed at protecting girls' sports,

00:20:36.780 saying that sports should be segregated based on sex, not so-called gender identity. And you guys

00:20:42.220 have probably seen the videos going around of parents testifying, representing the ACLU before

00:20:47.480 these state legislatures, saying that it's a myth that trans girls, aka boys, have any advantage over

00:20:55.760 biological girls in sports and that this is exclusionary, this is discriminatory, this is ruining the

00:21:00.860 lives of these transgender kids. They have given their anecdotes of what their kids have gone through

00:21:09.080 playing sports with the opposite sex and why that is so difficult for them and why they should be able

00:21:16.540 to play sports with other kids according to their gender identity rather than according to sex.

00:21:23.900 And it's true that there may be few differences in boys and girls before puberty, but the fact is boys

00:21:30.940 and girls are different. They only become more different as they age. Scientifically, boys have a

00:21:36.980 higher aerobic and anaerobic capacity than girls. They have more muscle mass. They have greater bone

00:21:42.960 density. Their brains compartmentalize and focus differently. Their aggression and threat assessment

00:21:48.120 levels are different. And actually, babies in the womb form differently. They mature differently.

00:21:56.220 They grow differently. Their brains start to function differently while they're still in utero.

00:22:01.340 I think it's amazing. I've talked about this before that actually like a mom's milk for the baby

00:22:07.300 is different. It has different components in it according to whether or not she is having a boy or a girl

00:22:13.100 because boys and girls, even from conception, even from life in the womb are different. There is a very

00:22:21.720 interesting study by Duke University that's comparing athletic performances of the best elite women in

00:22:29.000 track to boys and men. And this just so clearly with data shows the innate differences between boys and

00:22:39.040 girls, between boys and men and women. It's just undeniable. And this is the kind of stuff that we

00:22:46.960 actually have to look at when we're making these decisions about whether or not someone who was born

00:22:52.060 a boy and has been and has all the components of being a boy, it has boy chromosomes should be competing

00:22:59.840 against girls. We shouldn't be looking to the anecdotes that I know pull on our heartstrings. And I know

00:23:04.600 we're being told by parents who really love their kids, but we have to look at the data. So

00:23:08.700 let's take a look at this study that shows so blatantly the differences between the two

00:23:15.000 genders. So this is a quote from the study. If you know sports, you know this beyond a reasonable doubt.

00:23:21.520 There is an average of 10 to 12% performance gap between elite males and elite females. The gap is

00:23:28.480 smaller between elite females and non-elite males, but it is still insurmountable. And that is ultimately

00:23:34.860 what matters. So even elite female track stars will be beat in their events by non-elite men. And as we

00:23:43.520 will see, actually high school boys are still faster than Olympic champions. The Duke University

00:23:50.020 researchers report that in 2017, Tori Bowie, Tori Bowie, if you don't know, is an Olympic champion in the

00:23:57.080 100-meter dash. She's a three-time Olympic medalist. She holds a lifetime record in 100-meter dash that was

00:24:03.760 beaten by men and boys over 15,000 times. And boys is defined by boys under the age of 18. So again,

00:24:12.640 probably high schoolers. The same is true for Allison Felix. She's another Olympic champion. Her 400-meter dash

00:24:19.120 record was beaten over 15,000 times by men and boys in 2017. So men and boys, that means all kinds of

00:24:29.020 men and boys. We're not even just talking about the most advanced athletes. They were able to beat the

00:24:35.080 times 15,000 times of these Olympic female track stars. So they compared the track star in this study,

00:24:44.660 or they compared the track times for a variety of events of the world's best and fastest women to

00:24:52.280 the times of the fastest boys under the age of 18. Every single category, I'll put the, if you're

00:24:59.440 watching on YouTube, I'll put the table up. Every single category, 100 meters, 400 meters, high jump,

00:25:07.060 triple jump, the world's fastest adult women were beaten by what would be high school boys.

00:25:14.660 The times of the fastest high school boys, according to this study, were faster than the times of

00:25:19.720 female Olympic athletes. And then when you compare the fastest women to the fastest men,

00:25:26.980 so we're talking grown men, the time gaps just get way bigger. So for every single women's record for

00:25:33.740 a track event, there are often hundreds of under 18 boys who beat that record and hundreds, if not

00:25:39.800 thousands of grown men who beat that record. There is not a track event out there where women beat the

00:25:47.100 men. It's not even all that close. So here's what the story concludes or the study concludes rather

00:25:53.960 quote, this differential isn't the result of boys and men having a male identity, more resources,

00:25:59.900 better training, or superior discipline. It's because they have an androgynized body.

00:26:05.260 The results make clear that sex determines win share. Female athletes, here defined as athletes

00:26:11.700 with ovaries instead of testes and testosterone levels capable of being produced by the female

00:26:16.300 non-androgenized body, are not competitive for the win against males, here defined as athletes with

00:26:22.400 testes and testosterone levels in the male range. The lowest end of the male range is three times higher

00:26:28.740 than the highest end of the female range. Consistent with females far lower testosterone levels,

00:26:33.680 the female range is also very narrow while the male range is broad. So tell me how you think that

00:26:40.620 might play out in sports that involve the same muscles and the same endurance as running or pole

00:26:46.700 vaulting, which is virtually every sport. It does not work out in favor of girls. I promise you that.

00:26:52.740 Someone on Instagram asked me of examples of girls who are traumatized by biological boys competing

00:26:59.300 against them in sports. And if we can't find enough of those stories, then we need to listen to the

00:27:03.700 transgender kids and their parents who say that they're traumatized. And we need to decide in favor

00:27:08.780 of those transgender kids. And so I guess the point is that we have to compare and contrast tales of

00:27:15.780 perceived trauma to make a decision that had been already decided for all of human history because

00:27:21.020 the obviousness of science isn't enough. And by the way, yes, I do think it's traumatizing for a girl

00:27:28.220 to compete against boys and to share private spaces with boys. I do think that that's traumatizing.

00:27:33.300 A 2015 Marine Corps study found, according to CBS News, quotes, the results are in. And for those

00:27:40.660 arguing women should be able to perform all of the same combat jobs as the men, the news is discouraging.

00:27:48.160 Um, so this is a Marine Corps study that, uh, was trying to decide if, uh, women can be held to the

00:27:55.920 same fitness standards as men, or if they can meet the same fitness standards as men, the fitness

00:28:00.200 standards, um, that are necessary for, uh, for combat. And this study, um, from 2015 showed that no,

00:28:09.160 women cannot keep up with men when they're expected to reach the same fitness standards, which of course

00:28:14.620 they should be. So this is what the article goes on to say. It was as close to war as you could get

00:28:20.760 in unprecedented scientific study, men and women enlisted Marines side by side for months of

00:28:27.400 simulated battle throughout researchers watched and recorded their performance to help determine

00:28:31.900 what impact women would have on combat. Even then the women realized they were at a disadvantage.

00:28:37.020 It's not that we can't carry weight. We can carry the weight. It's the pace, especially when we match up

00:28:42.000 with the males. You're looking at our size and we have males that are almost six foot, uh, that are

00:28:46.600 almost six foot with longer strides, and it's hard to catch up with them. Keep up with them.

00:28:50.740 Corporal Janelle Lopez said that is what the results show. This article goes on to say in almost every

00:28:57.460 area, the all male units perform significantly better than those with both men and women Marines.

00:29:03.340 The men were, quote, faster in each tactical movement, had better accuracy, and were quicker.

00:29:09.540 They registered more hits on target and had a noticeable difference in their performance of

00:29:13.960 overcoming obstacles and evacuating casualties. The Marines commissioned the study after then

00:29:19.140 Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in 2013 ordered the military to open all combat jobs to women.

00:29:26.820 So we're talking about some of the strongest and the toughest women in the world alongside some of the

00:29:30.840 strongest men in the world, and they could not keep up. And we're not just talking about endurance and

00:29:35.440 running. We're also talking about hitting targets. I mean, we're talking about, uh, we're talking about

00:29:41.000 the kinds of things that have to be mastered in order to be an effective Marine. It doesn't mean that

00:29:47.220 these women are not awesome. It just means that they're women and that men and women are not the same.

00:29:53.080 And the army apparently is also realizing this according to the New York Times. For 99% of Americans,

00:30:00.520 this question will never come up in a job interview. Can you hang from a bar and tuck your legs to your

00:30:05.920 chest? It has, however, become a central issue for the army where fitness levels of recruits have

00:30:11.340 come under greater scrutiny over the past few decades, precisely the same time that women have

00:30:16.180 been seeking entry into elite combat units and advancement and leadership roles. Now the army is

00:30:22.940 racing to approve significant changes to its legendary physical fitness test, the first revision since

00:30:28.960 1980, which will include offering soldiers an alternative to the leg tuck, a flashpoint for

00:30:34.300 women, especially those who have given birth. Well, at least we are acknowledging that it's women who

00:30:39.560 give birth. At the same time, the new version of the test, which is required twice a year,

00:30:44.820 does away with separate scoring curves based on gender and age. In its earliest rollout among 14,000

00:30:50.880 soldiers, 65% of women failed the new test while 10% of men did. The new 120 minute test known as the

00:31:01.080 army combat fitness test features six events that cover speed, endurance, and strength. The standards

00:31:05.740 to pass are identical for men and women. And for all ages, a soldier must achieve 360 points out of a

00:31:11.780 maximum 600 to pass and greater scores have historically greatly increased chances for promotion.

00:31:17.480 So just to clarify, the army created a new fitness test from the one that they had been using since

00:31:24.200 1980. They did away with any kind of different standards for men or for women or for age. They

00:31:30.900 wanted the test to better match the demands of combat, but they are now finding that women are

00:31:36.020 having a hard time passing it. So they're changing this new test to try to better accommodate what women

00:31:41.540 can do, including creating another option for the leg tuck. But here's the question. Does combat require

00:31:49.640 that kind of strength or not? If a woman is missing core strength because she just had a baby,

00:31:54.440 obviously, I totally understand that. But does that make her less capable of meeting the demands

00:31:59.280 of battle? And if so, should that not be disqualifying? I say it should be. Because the military is not a

00:32:06.020 social experiment. It's not about unconditional inclusion. It's about lethality, period. So if

00:32:12.020 male or female can meet the fitness standards that are required to be as lethal as possible in combat,

00:32:18.520 okay. If they can't, then they should not be there. And if that means that a greater number of women can't

00:32:24.620 be in combat than men, then that is okay. Equity is not a priority for an effective military. Lethality is.

00:32:31.680 That does not mean that women don't have amazing things to bring to the table, especially in non-combat

00:32:38.100 related roles. But again, women and men are different. We have different strengths. We have

00:32:43.620 different bodies. We're not interchangeable. God made us this way. We are not made to be the same.

00:32:48.900 We are meant to complement one another, not compete physically with one another. The ACLU is also

00:32:57.800 pushing, speaking of the military, for women to be forced to sign up for the draft in the same way

00:33:03.600 that men have to because they claim that this is discrimination against men. First of all, I don't

00:33:08.980 think that we should have a draft. But do I think that women should be forced to sign up for it? No,

00:33:14.640 I don't. Because again, men and women are different. We shouldn't have young women fighting our battles.

00:33:20.140 They aren't the same as young men. And we have to be comfortable with making that argument

00:33:24.260 that at one point was so obvious to everyone and now is being exchanged for this kind of

00:33:29.580 nonsensical egalitarianism that says that men and women are interchangeable. Like we have to look at

00:33:35.540 the science. We have to look at the data. We have to look at what has been obvious forever. No, we don't

00:33:40.500 want young women being drafted to fight our battles for us. And again, I'm against the draft in general.

00:33:46.940 But do I think it's different for men and for women? Yes, because men and women are not

00:33:51.100 interchangeable. They are different. Tucker Carlson, he got in some hot water last week

00:33:55.760 because he said the Biden administration and our military are focused on pregnancy-friendly flight

00:34:01.160 suits, while China is focused on building the world's largest navy and are creating programs

00:34:07.380 to make their men supposedly more manly. And Tucker Carlson got blasted for this by military officials

00:34:14.380 on social media, which I think made totally inappropriate and embarrassing videos.

00:34:19.900 All that truly smacks of fascism. He is a private citizen offering his perspective and military

00:34:26.760 entities come after him publicly for that. I mean, way to prove his point that some people in our

00:34:33.520 military seem to be focused on the wrong things, that they are prioritizing this kind of performative

00:34:38.600 activism, being social justice advocates, equity advocates, when that's not what actually defends

00:34:44.720 our freedoms. That doesn't mean that I'm not so thankful and so proud of all the men and

00:34:49.700 women who have sacrificed and do sacrifice. I could not do what you do. And I am so thankful.

00:34:56.240 But yes, when we assess our threats, namely China and Iran, and we see that we're focused completely

00:35:02.440 or that they are focused completely on dominance and lethality, and we're focused on how we can

00:35:07.640 better include pregnant women in our military. As a pregnant woman, I say that's an okay reason for us

00:35:14.160 to question and be concerned. Pregnant women, as you guys know that I believe are incredible. We do

00:35:20.900 something that men never could. I appreciate the roles that they have in military and the military

00:35:26.300 outside of combat. But Tucker's point was legitimate. Our priorities and our focus do not speak to that of

00:35:32.680 a nation serious about properly staying the threats our foreign enemies pose. Men and women are

00:35:40.400 different. We do different things. We bring different things to the table. That is okay.

00:35:46.820 That doesn't make women any less than. It makes us awesome. We have got to stop pretending that making

00:35:53.680 the genders interchangeable or pretending they're the same is somehow empowering. It's not. I love

00:36:00.220 anything that promotes the uniqueness and the special beauty and capabilities of women. And there is this

00:36:06.160 Nike ad that I want to show you guys that I think does that really well.

00:36:14.920 All right. So I want to play you just a short part of this Nike advertisement that celebrates pregnant

00:36:23.000 athletes. Can you be an athlete? You, pregnant. That depends.

00:36:31.780 What is an athlete? Someone who moves? Sounds like you. Someone who gets it done, no matter what.

00:36:44.940 You do that. So can you be an athlete? If you aren't, no one is.

00:36:52.700 I love it. I loved that ad. I thought that it was, if you want to talk about real empowerment,

00:37:02.320 I thought that that was a very empowering ad. And if you are listening to this rather than watching,

00:37:07.900 then you need to go on YouTube to get the full effect of it. Now, I understand Nike is 100% guilty

00:37:15.120 of performative activism. Their supply chains are made in Chinese slave labor while they pretend to be

00:37:20.660 advocates of social and racial justice via Colin Kaepernick here. I know. I don't typically support Nike

00:37:25.900 at all. And they apparently do not support their pregnant athletes. And so this can also be seen as

00:37:31.320 hypocrisy. However, aside from all of that, I did appreciate this ad as a standalone thing.

00:37:37.860 Women are women and women are incredible. Now, you do not have to give birth to be a woman.

00:37:44.200 Not giving birth doesn't make you any less of a woman, but it is this amazing power that women have

00:37:49.140 that men do not have that we should absolutely admire. We should absolutely celebrate.

00:37:54.640 Women house a human, a human being in our bodies for nine plus months, nourishing him or her with

00:38:00.860 our own nutrients, enduring all of the aches and pains, and sometimes the complications of pregnancy,

00:38:05.800 and then give birth to that human being. And what can be the happiest and simultaneously the most

00:38:11.480 traumatizing experience of our lives? Many of us then nourish those babies with our bodies for

00:38:18.260 several months or even years. And how amazing is God that he gave women and only women that

00:38:24.260 capability. This push to erase this as a specifically female superpower that we have seen in activist

00:38:32.780 circles and across social media is so insanely degrading. The push to call breastfeeding, chest

00:38:38.680 feeding, that doesn't even make any sense, by the way, or to say pregnant person or gestator,

00:38:42.860 or to shy away from calling female anatomy what it is. It's just another form of misogyny. Only this

00:38:51.340 time it's coming from progressives rather than the patriarchy. And there's actually a very interesting

00:38:58.300 article on this by an environmental activist that has been researching the money behind the

00:39:03.200 transgender activist groups for a long time. Her name is Jennifer Bilek, and she wrote an article for

00:39:10.120 The Federalist talking about how most of the money behind the push to normalize gender fluidity

00:39:16.780 and gender identity actually comes, ironically, from rich white men. So here's what the article says.

00:39:24.400 She said, I found exceedingly rich white men with enormous cultural influence are funding the

00:39:29.680 transgender lobby and various transgender organizations. These include, but are not limited

00:39:34.520 to, Jennifer Pritzker, a male who identifies as transgender, George Soros, of course. Let me just

00:39:40.020 pause for a second. I'm going to say the same thing about George Soros that I said about,

00:39:44.980 what's his name, Bill Gates a few weeks ago. If you don't want to be the center of so many

00:39:50.740 conspiracy theories, stop being sketchy. Stop being sketchy. Like Bill Gates, stop buying all the

00:39:57.140 farmland in America. Like, stop acting like you're an expert on things that you're not an expert on.

00:40:02.060 Stop trying to have your hand in everything. Same thing with George Soros. People accuse those on the

00:40:07.280 right, especially of starting conspiracy theories about these two people. But the truth is, is that

00:40:11.160 they are behind so much. They're behind so many progressive causes, especially George Soros.

00:40:17.480 He and his organizations fund the a large number of pro crime, pro quote, social justice district

00:40:26.300 attorneys in this country that's easily researchable, easily findable. So if you don't want to be the

00:40:32.000 center of conspiracy theories, then you should stop being sketchy and doing sketchy things.

00:40:37.400 That's just an aside about George Soros. Martine Rothblatt, also a male who identifies as transgender

00:40:43.540 and trans human. Tim Gill, who is a man. Drummond Pike. Warren and Peter Buffett. John Stryker,

00:40:51.100 also men. Mark Bonham, also men. A lot of these are actually gay men. And Rick Weiland,

00:40:57.340 he's a deceased gay man whose philanthropy is still LGBT oriented. Most of these billionaires

00:41:03.180 fund the transgender lobby and organizations through their own organizations, including

00:41:08.540 corporations. These funders often go through anonymous funding organizations such as Tides

00:41:13.900 Foundation, founded and operated by Pike. Tides Foundation creates a legal firewall and tax shelter

00:41:19.980 for foundations and funds political campaigns, often using legally dubious tactics. These men and others

00:41:27.040 including pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. government are sending millions of dollars to

00:41:31.900 LGBT causes. Overall reported global spending on LGBT is now estimated at $424 million. From 2003 to

00:41:42.700 2013, reported funding for transgender issues increased more than eightfold, growing at threefold.

00:41:48.900 The increase of LGBTQ funding overall, which quadrupled from 2003 to 2012, this huge spike in funding

00:41:56.420 happened at the same time. Transgenderism began gaining traction in American culture. Amazing.

00:42:02.120 Thinking about the millions and millions of dollars used on propaganda and the unfortunate and very

00:42:08.040 harmful procedures that we are seeing pushed on kids and adolescents. There are literally people

00:42:14.760 starving. There were people destitute in the world. But this, of course, is how we spend our money.

00:42:19.760 But we are told that it's not the left that's the problem, that it's actually the people who have no

00:42:23.960 institutional backing and no institutional power of conservative Christians. It's really amazing.

00:42:29.880 And remember, this concept of gender identity as something that is separate than sex was established

00:42:34.600 by another influential man in the 1960s by the name of Dr. John Money, who, as we've talked about,

00:42:41.740 as it turns out, was actually just a pedophile apologist. He was a weirdo who experimented his

00:42:47.120 theories on twin boys whom he made perform sex acts on each other as he and other doctors watched.

00:42:51.920 And the two boys both later committed suicide. So if feminists are truly concerned about the

00:42:59.020 dominance of the white male, y'all have been duped by their latest project, which is pushing

00:43:04.300 the normalization of transgenderism, especially among youth. Now, there are people who struggle

00:43:11.440 with their gender, that do have gender dysphoria, that deserve all the compassion in the world.

00:43:15.840 That is not, however, account for the huge contagion we are seeing, especially among young girls

00:43:21.200 who later come to regret their decision to transition. And all of this is a push in so

00:43:26.780 many different ways to erase or diminish or redefine the female experience and female body and true

00:43:32.840 identity. And it's just the devil doing the work that he has done since the Garden of Eden to target

00:43:38.580 women. To try to say that being a woman is actually more complex than chromosomes and anatomy

00:43:44.720 is therefore and is therefore up to whomever, whoever wants to declare themselves a woman is to erase the

00:43:53.220 significance of our chromosomes and our anatomy, which are exactly the things that allow us to do

00:43:58.400 the things that men can't do to be that which men can't be. These things are why we need abuse

00:44:04.300 shelters that are exclusive to women, prisons that are exclusive to women, bathrooms, locker rooms,

00:44:09.920 sports teams that are exclusive to women and girls. We are, as women, disproportionately the victims of

00:44:16.280 stalking, of domestic abuse, of rape. And we always will be because we are, in general, physically

00:44:22.060 weaker than men. We need sex-based protection. We need sex-specific spaces because men and women

00:44:29.260 are not the same. We are smaller and we are weaker and we are less aggressive and less able to defend

00:44:35.540 ourselves in general. And no, that is not internalized misogyny. That is science. It's also

00:44:41.340 why the Second Amendment, by the way, is so important. I love this quote by Nancy Piercy in her book Love Thy

00:44:49.020 Body that I know that I reference all the time. She says, quote, to protect women's rights, we must be

00:44:54.640 able to say what a woman is. If postmodernism is correct that the body itself is just a social

00:44:59.980 construct, then it becomes impossible to argue for rights based on the sheer fact of being female.

00:45:05.660 We cannot legally protect a category of people that we cannot identify if we cannot identify that

00:45:12.600 category. What's interesting as well is that we just don't see as much eagerness going in the other

00:45:18.680 direction, meaning we don't seem to be having a whole lot of conversations about the importance of

00:45:23.680 girls who identify as boys being included on the boys' track or soccer or football teams.

00:45:29.600 So why don't we see those parents testifying in the state legislatures for the ACLU?

00:45:34.320 There aren't many stories of women who identify as men fighting to be incarcerated with the male

00:45:40.140 prison population instead of the female population, but we see a lot going the other direction.

00:45:45.900 Why do we seem to mostly be talking about biological men wanting to enter women's and girls' spaces and

00:45:51.320 not the other way around? Or even women who identify as men remaining in women's spaces, like giving

00:45:57.260 birth, for example. But we are rarely talking about women who identify as men needing to enter exclusively

00:46:03.140 male spaces. Could it be just a reaffirmation of what we already know that men and women for the

00:46:09.940 thousandth time are different and men have the potential to be threatening in a way toward women

00:46:14.640 that women don't toward men? I think probably so. I think probably so. Men are amazing at being men.

00:46:22.360 They're terrible at being women. Women are amazing at being women. We are terrible at being men.

00:46:28.260 Women, in general, are better nurturers. We're better caretakers. We're better multitaskers.

00:46:32.980 We're more likely to desire to be home with our kids for these reasons. We tend to be more empathetic,

00:46:38.340 more emotional. And I would say if your first reaction is to scoff at that or to be offended by that or to

00:46:43.740 see these attributes as negative, then maybe you need to reckon with why you demean these qualities

00:46:49.500 instead of uplift them, why you view them as inferior when they're not. Men and women are

00:46:54.740 different. And we've got to own that. That's a Genesis 1 issue, a Genesis 1 reality for Christians.

00:47:00.900 There's no gray area there. That doesn't mean that we lack compassion or care for those who are

00:47:05.260 confused about their gender or who have disorders that amount to something like intersex. But it does

00:47:10.800 mean that we cling to God's gracious clarity that he lays out so specifically through special

00:47:16.560 revelation in scripture and in general revelation in science. And I want to reiterate that phrase,

00:47:23.460 gracious clarity. So 1 Corinthians 14, 33 says this,

00:47:28.320 For God is not a God of confusion, but a God of peace. And all of this is so very confusing.

00:47:35.620 But God gives us clarity in this particular subject. He gives us clarity in so much. He gives us

00:47:44.540 a clear picture of what it means to be male and female, both in the Bible and in our bodies.

00:47:50.880 I mentioned Nancy Piercy just a few seconds ago, and I've talked about this before, how in her book,

00:47:56.440 she talks about how the early church was a refuge for women from the surrounding culture

00:48:00.440 that objectified them, that used and abused them, that saw them as sources of pleasure, as property to

00:48:06.880 be owned or subjugated rather than to be cared for. So when women in Corinth heard a line like this

00:48:12.480 from Paul, quote, for the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband

00:48:18.820 does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. That was a

00:48:24.000 radical and comforting change. The idea that men are not their own either, but that in a Christian

00:48:29.280 marriage, a man and a woman's bodies belong to God as temples of the Holy Spirit and also to each

00:48:34.480 other, that a woman has rights over her husband's body, just as he has particular rights over hers,

00:48:39.280 was a completely counter-cultural idea. It still is. And then Christians in Ephesus and Colossae were

00:48:46.900 told that wives aren't just to respect their husbands, but husbands must also love their wives,

00:48:51.360 as we talked about on yesterday's episode, to care for them, to cherish them, to protect them the same

00:48:56.680 way that Christ did for his church, which means sacrificially and selflessly. That's not at all what

00:49:02.880 they saw in the outside world. That's not what we see in most of the world today. What an amazing

00:49:07.620 refuge. All of that is still a radical message, a radical idea, the caring for women, the elevating

00:49:15.460 of women, the dignity of women. In most of the non-Western world today, the message of Christianity,

00:49:21.640 the message that Christianity has in particular for women is still radical. And even outside of

00:49:27.840 marriage, Paul tells the church in Corinth that singleness can be good and that it allows you to

00:49:33.000 devote all of your time and attention to the Lord rather than to an earthly family. This was not an

00:49:38.380 option for a lot of people then, especially women at this time. Their value was tied to their husband

00:49:43.420 or their master. And Paul is rooting his command, his commendation in the understanding of what the

00:49:49.460 creation account tells us, that women were created with inherent value as image bearers of God. Nancy

00:49:56.780 Peercy says this in Love Thy Body. Some of the early martyrs were women who rejected suitors or

00:50:03.760 arranged marriages in favor of remaining single, an option that was not tolerated by the surrounding

00:50:09.740 culture. So God through Paul made clear that women, while we do not have the same roles in the church or

00:50:17.580 the family, we have equal value. We are to be cared for. We are to be cherished. And even as we care for

00:50:23.900 our husband and our children and or our communities. So who are the people also that we are told in the

00:50:31.700 New Testament to particularly care for? Widows and orphans. That means women and children who are being

00:50:38.240 cared for by no one. James 127 tells us this, religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is

00:50:46.100 this, to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained from the world. So God cares

00:50:53.360 so much for the most vulnerable. And women are apparently included in that category, especially

00:50:59.600 widowed women. We are distinct from men both in who we are and what we need and what our roles are. And

00:51:06.620 we should thank God for loving us that much that he would make that clear. Let's think about how Jesus

00:51:12.280 speaks to and cares for the bleeding woman, the woman caught in adultery, the woman of the night who

00:51:16.940 washed his feet, the woman at the well, all people who would have been ignored by the social and religious

00:51:21.740 elites at the time. He paid attention to them. And also the apostles who recorded these stories saw fit to include

00:51:27.980 them. John says this in John 21, 25. Now, there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of

00:51:36.440 them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. So that

00:51:42.940 means that the apostles, inspired by the Holy Spirit, saw the stories of Jesus's interactions with women as worth

00:51:49.280 including as remarkable, as significant. This was not feminism. This is not Jesus being a feminist. This was the God of

00:51:56.720 the universe manifesting what kind of love and care for women should have always, should have always been, should have

00:52:05.940 always looked like, and should always currently and in the future look like. There is no other organization, no other

00:52:13.860 entity, no other institution, no other belief system that can give women what Christianity alone gives

00:52:21.400 them. Yes, there has been oppression and sexual abuse and all kinds of victimization and horrifying

00:52:27.260 treatment of women under the guise of Christianity. That is absolutely true. But that is not Christ. That is not

00:52:34.000 the true church. That is not God's word. Anyone who says Christianity is inherently degrading toward women do not

00:52:40.260 know God. They don't know scripture. They want God to be this radical socialist pro-abortion feminist who's on

00:52:47.040 board with gender fluidity and promiscuity, and he's not that. He's not. Or more mildly, maybe they want God

00:52:53.600 to be this radical egalitarian who believes men and women should have the same roles in everything, and he's

00:52:58.920 clearly not that either. But he is the good creator who made us, who knows us, who loves us, whose ways are so much

00:53:05.860 better than ours, whose thoughts are so much higher than our thoughts. So when he gives us commands

00:53:10.760 against, for example, sexual immorality, telling us that our bodies are dwelling places for the Holy

00:53:15.840 Spirit and are therefore sacred, as 1 Corinthians 6 19 says, he does so because he loves us and he knows

00:53:22.380 what's best for us. He tells us what gender is or what marriage should look like when he says that we

00:53:29.440 should live and dress and act in a way that glorifies him and makes much of him rather than of ourselves that

00:53:35.240 protects both our bodies and our hearts. It's not repression or oppression. It is because of his

00:53:40.900 incredible, incomprehensible love for us. He knows what's best for us. The empowerment he gives us

00:53:47.080 is real. It's the opposite of self-objectification, the kinds that we see posing as a cheap version of

00:53:52.700 confidence and autonomy today. The love that he gives us is real. It is so much better and deeper than

00:53:58.700 the lust promulgated by our culture. The assurance and the clarity, the hope and the way of life that

00:54:05.760 he gives us is better. A life obedient to him, either glorifying him single or glorifying him as a

00:54:12.120 joyful, service-minded wife and mom. This is better than the confusion and the chaos that we see in the

00:54:18.160 world. So church, we must continue to be the refuge for women. When women are pregnant and in crisis,

00:54:25.420 let us be the first place that they go. When women are abused, may they seek shelter with us.

00:54:31.720 When women are erased or degraded or targeted, may women come to us to tell them who they are,

00:54:37.520 why they matter, why they're here. When women need forgiveness, when they need a new path,

00:54:42.800 let us be the first ones to show her where to go. When they need protection from predatory men,

00:54:48.100 when they need to be remembered that they, when they need to be reminded that they are unique as women,

00:54:53.180 let the church be a place of clarity for them. Let us celebrate the uniqueness of women.

00:54:59.200 Not because of Women's History Month, not because feminists tell us to, but because we love God and

00:55:05.180 therefore we love his creation. Men, no matter what society tells you, we need you. We do. We need

00:55:12.620 protectors. We need defenders. We need you speaking up about the things that you might hear people

00:55:17.620 telling you are only women's issues, abortion, men infiltrating women's spaces. These are human

00:55:22.980 issues and we need your voice. We need your boldness. We need your care. We need you on the front lines.

00:55:29.160 We need you to stand in our stead. Now is not the time for you to be scared or to use feminism as your

00:55:34.660 excuse for complacency. Women need strong men. Society needs strong men. Strong, responsible,

00:55:41.200 compassionate, brave men are sorely needed, especially by women. For those of us who are

00:55:48.760 moms, we have a privilege, whether we are raising daughters or whether we are raising sons, because

00:55:54.840 the world needs strong Christians who know the truth and can love God with all their heart,

00:56:01.200 mind, soul, and strength, and love their neighbor as themselves. And we as women get the privilege

00:56:08.000 of bringing that next generation into the future, whether as moms or as caretakers or as Sunday

00:56:14.160 school teachers or as teachers, whatever role God has placed us in, we get the responsibility and

00:56:19.500 privilege of doing that. All right. That's all I've got for today. I will see you guys back here tomorrow.
