00:02:57.000And the entire election can be summarized in that immigration is important, economy is important, but just as a statement of principle, We will not put up with America becoming the third world, period.0.94
00:03:25.000I have a just turned 14 year old daughter, loves Jesus, straight A student, great girl, but is struggling with what you talked about to let go of trying to center things around what she wants.
00:03:39.000And all too often at home, it ends in frustration and emotions all over the place.
00:03:44.000And we pray for her and we talk to her.
00:03:46.000She even knows the verse if you seek to find yourself, you'll lose it.
00:03:50.000But if you seek to lose yourself, you'll find it, and so forth.
00:03:54.000And she's still struggling mightily with that.
00:03:55.000What suggestions do you have to encourage and help her with that?
00:04:00.000Yeah, you know, I only have experience as having been that teenage girl, not parenting that teenage girl.
00:04:10.000Perspective, it does sound, yes, of course, it's sinful for anyone to center ourselves, but it sounds like a lot of normal teenage girl stuff.
00:04:20.000And as long as it truly is a struggle, and this is true for all of us.
00:04:24.000And what I mean by that, when a lot of people say, Oh, I'm struggling with this sin, are you struggling with that sin or are you just sinning and feeling bad about it?
00:04:35.000And so if she is actively trying through the grace of God to resist that selfishness, Maybe even not in a legalistic way, but give herself goals of selflessness and charity and generosity and putting other people before herself every day.
00:05:18.000If you think wireless companies are all the same, you might need to take a look at our friends over at Patriot Mobile.
00:05:24.000Patriot Mobile isn't just different because of its mission.
00:05:26.000It's actually built to outperform the other carriers.
00:05:29.000They offer premium, priority, nationwide service on any of the three major U.S. networks, helping you get the best possible coverage wherever life takes you.
00:05:38.000With Patriot Mobile, you can even have two separate networks on a single device, eliminating the need to carry multiple phones and giving you peace of mind you just can't get with other carriers.
00:07:22.000So, Baylor's super woke, just so we're clear.
00:07:25.000It's not conservative, it's not Christian, like at all.
00:07:28.000And they're increasingly LGBT, increasingly left wing.1.00
00:07:31.000I'm giving you a hard time, because you're a guy, you could handle it, if you know, but to be honest, like, College is a total waste of time for most people.0.99
00:07:46.000So, but yeah, look, I think that, and I can say this from authority I visited more college campuses in the last decade than any other person.
00:07:52.000We run a national college organization.
00:07:54.000They make you take classes that have no application to your major.
00:07:59.000We have an intern that goes to Ohio State University.
00:08:01.000He has to now graduate another six months later than his original four years because they added all these new diversity classes.
00:08:07.000So he has to ex, he has to now go pay to go to class another six months for another $25,000 because of diversity, equity, inclusion, CRT.
00:08:17.000I cannot put into words how unnecessary college is for our best and brightest.
00:08:21.000Now, some, some can succeed, and again, I'm not trying to make you feel bad or like whatever, but, um, look, make the most of it, and if you feel like it's a waste of time, just drop out.
00:08:31.000I mean, I, I know that sounds like, I know your mom's gonna like throw something at me or whatever, but, but this is important, which is, and I, I will challenge every parent out there that might not like what I'm saying, which is, If you had to choose,
00:08:44.000this is actually a really good question for parents to ask your kid going to college.
00:08:47.000Ask your kid going to college, when I raised you, do you think I would prefer that you get a college degree or be a good person?
00:08:57.000And have your son or daughter answer that back to you.
00:08:59.000That would be a very interesting thing.
00:09:03.000And the vast majority of kids will say, oh, my parents would much rather have me get a college degree.
00:09:09.000College degrees are way more valuable in high society than being a person of good character or, you know, again, one of the reasons I hate college is that it is a petri dish.
00:09:20.000For the worst behavior, the worst actions, and the worst worldview.
00:09:24.000You become a worse person at most colleges.
00:09:27.000And again, it doesn't mean that you have to, but you're constantly surrounded by hookup culture, premarital sex, getting blackout drunk, drug usage, bad worldviews, deconstructionism.
00:09:40.000Join the Turning Point USA chapter is number one, right?
00:09:43.000Because we are a hedge against those things.
00:09:46.000And yeah, look, I know you might think that I'm being unfair to the college thing.1.00
00:09:52.000But I think I have been rather vindicated this last year when we saw this Hamas garbage happening on campuses across the country.1.00
00:09:59.000I'm just saying, and I say this with no exaggeration, that is just a taste.1.00
00:10:05.000Now, if you are going to go, here's the cool thing you can decide to become a better person, but it's going to take a lot of work, a lot of self control, the Holy Spirit being like, I'm not going to drink for four years.
00:10:17.000Like, I'm not going to do it, I'm not going to have any alcohol.
00:10:20.000Like, that would actually make our college experience awesome.
00:10:22.000I'm going to go spend extra time with professors.
00:10:24.000I'm going to leverage this to meet the best alumni of Baylor and to become, by the way, the number one thing that college gets you is not knowledge, they don't teach you anything.
00:10:32.000It's connections or people, which again, you don't need college for that, but like it is learning from the alumni and getting a piece of paper so that people take you seriously.
00:10:40.000So, anyway, that's my piece of advice.
00:10:41.000And then just being like, you know, meeting some rich people from Dallas and maybe their dads can hire you once you graduate.
00:10:51.000Sorry if that was too blunt, this is kind of how I am.
00:11:44.000And something I love about this book is that he says in every conversation that we have, we're getting the person closer to truth and closer to Christ.
00:11:54.000It's not that in every conversation we're trying to win the argument or that we're taking the ball into the end zone.
00:12:01.000I think that's a Correct terminology in every conversation.
00:12:06.000You are inching them closer to the truth.
00:12:08.000And that means that you can start by asking him questions that make him think about it in a way that maybe he's never thought about it before.
00:12:17.000So, have you talked to your daughter about this?
00:12:22.000What do you think about when the Bible says this?
00:12:25.000If you ask him questions based on scripture and what God's word says about sexuality and the importance of raising our children in the Lord and Admonishing them and what is right, what God says about sexuality, make him think about it a little bit more.
00:12:39.000See if he'll read a book that you suggest to him about someone.0.90
00:12:44.000There's lots who used to live a gay lifestyle and then came to Christ and completely repented of that.0.71
00:12:50.000There are a lot of ways that you can help push your friend towards Christ without alienating them right away because they might be offended.
00:13:00.000But cultivating and planting those seeds and making him think you never know how God is going to water and give growth to your efforts in pushing him towards what's true.
00:13:39.000So why aren't you buying silver right now?
00:13:42.000People who recognized oil early didn't just make money.
00:13:45.000They got ahead of one of the biggest economic shifts in history.
00:13:48.000And today, a similar opportunity is unfolding with silver.
00:13:51.000Silver is more than a precious metal, it's a critical resource used in solar panels, electric vehicles, defense systems, AI infrastructure, and the massive data centers powering that digital world.
00:14:02.000While demand keeps growing, it's still affordable enough that the average American can start accumulating it right now.
00:14:08.000That's why investors are turning to silver to protect against inflation.
00:14:12.000And to own one of the world's most important strategic resources.
00:14:15.000Don't be the person who looks back in 10 years and says, I saw it coming, I just didn't act.
00:14:19.000Visit noblegoldinvestments.comslash Kirk and learn how easy it is to own physical silver.
00:14:35.000Um, I know, like, uh, one thing that really upset Jesus was when like people were selling stuff inside of the church, he like flipped over tables and stuff.
00:14:45.000How do you feel about people selling their books and kind of making a marketplace of the church?
00:14:54.000And also, my second question would be I know that one of the big things he mentions over and over is idol worship and idol and idol and idol.
00:15:03.000Do you feel like caffeine and social media are kind of underlooked in the church community and no one really says anything about it or mentions it?
00:15:14.000They might mention it a little bit, but it's not very.
00:16:29.000And that is the indulgence culture of food that is bad for you and lifestyles that defile the temple that God has given you, which is your body.
00:16:41.000As far as the marketplace, I mean, look, I will say that in certain circumstances, if you run a church and you're trying to personally profit from it, then yeah, of course, obviously.
00:16:53.000But no, I have no problem with somebody that makes their living off of selling a book or whatever.
00:17:00.000As long as it's done tastefully and voluntarily, I find no problem with that whatsoever.
00:18:19.000I've had the privilege of interviewing a lot of detransitioners, and there's one, her name is Laura Perry, and I won't tell her whole story, but she tried to live her life as a man for several years.0.99
00:18:30.000There were lots of reasons why she thought that that would make her happy.0.93
00:18:34.000She changed her body, she took hormones, she realized, okay, This is just not working.
00:18:41.000But she had for a period of time alienated herself from her Christian conservative parents who would never call her Jake and would never call her he, him.
00:18:50.000And for a while, she thought, well, they're just bigots.
00:18:53.000Their church are bigots, and I don't want to be around them.
00:18:56.000Well, the Lord ended up softening her heart.
00:18:58.000She ended up transcribing some Bible verses for her mom's Bible study.
00:19:02.000And while she was doing that, the Lord used his word as he does to start to convict her and to change her heart.
00:19:10.000And then Long story short, she became a Christian.
00:19:16.000Of course, she's living as what she always has been a woman.
00:19:18.000But what she says when she shares her testimony is that the first people that she went to after her conversion and after she realized she had to detransition were the people that always called her Laura, were the people that never wavered,
00:19:34.000the people that never affirmed the deceit in her life.
00:19:39.000The people that affirmed her deceit are the people who helped her ruin.
00:19:42.000I don't want to say ruin her body, but irreversibly change her body.
00:19:46.000But it was her parents and that conservative evangelical church that never wavered, that always said, You're a woman made in the image of God.
00:20:18.000I promise you, I don't know how and I don't know when, in this person's life, it might be 50 years, he or she might look back and say, You were the only one that stood for me.
00:20:53.000I mean that the person might think they are something that they are not, but they do not become the other thing just because you think the thing.0.52
00:21:01.000The ramifications of accepting transgenderism as normative identification is civilizational ending.
00:21:10.000It is you can choose your age, you could choose your race, you can choose your income level, you could choose whatever you want based on mental status.0.83
00:21:18.000So there has been Dr. Miriam Grossman who was here.
00:21:21.000I encourage you to re listen to that podcast.
00:21:25.000She said it great, which is that there's almost never a case of somebody that has transgenderism that does not have underlying, undiagnosed bipolar schizophrenia, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, or other issues alongside of it.0.86
00:21:40.000So, transgenderism, most times, 99.9% of the time, is a symptom.0.51
00:21:45.000So, for example, if Allie all of a sudden says, I have a fever, that tells us nothing.0.99
00:21:52.000She could have a bacterial infection, she could have COVID, her appendix might burst.
00:21:58.000There's like 500 different reasons why human beings break into a fever.1.00
00:22:03.000So, transgenderism is a fever, it is a symptom.1.00
00:22:07.000And so, we are trying to treat a symptom without actually going to the root cause, which unfortunately, American medicine is all about symptom management and not trying to get to root causes far too often.0.99
00:22:20.000That's a systemic problem across the board.
00:23:35.000When you need to go storm the city, call me.
00:23:40.000I got two daughters, both career women, and they have dogs.
00:23:44.000And as a father, I've tried to get into the conversation.
00:23:47.000I was wondering if on your relatable website, if you've got any material, or maybe you can just role play some reason for me to break into that subject matter without getting them angry with me.
00:23:58.000You mean they have dogs that they use as replacement for children?
00:26:33.000children of God, or people who go to Native Americans that go to church, be influential and encouraging to other Native Americans on the reservation, especially the Navajo Nation, because it's one of the biggest parts of Arizona,
00:26:49.000and their votes are very important to whoever is going to be elected in the Arizona state?1.00
00:26:56.000To become, it's very hard for Native American women.1.00
00:27:00.000There's a stronghold on that of becoming submissive wives and being loving and gentle and caring mothers just because of generational abuse.
00:27:10.000And a lot of mothers there, they come from, for me, I'm the only one who's saved in my family.
00:27:17.000So I don't have a mother figure to look up to who can love their child the way God would want to.
00:27:26.000Dream City has been a big influence on my life.
00:28:05.000And so only Jesus Christ can set the Native Americans free from that addiction and that cycle of addiction.0.98
00:28:11.000And so you must be relentless in sharing that.0.93
00:28:14.000Number two, there is still a lot of paganistic folklore that exists in Native backgrounds.
00:28:21.000And so Christianity is against a lot of that paganistic folklore, which is why you say you're the only one that's saved.
00:28:29.000But look, I see a huge movement in traditionally left wing populations, Native American, Hispanic, black communities.
00:28:38.000That are increasingly open to the conservative message.1.00
00:28:42.000This is a difficult thing to communicate, but Native American reservations are by far some of the most messed up places in America.0.99
00:28:52.000And it's largely because of government policies, of subsidizing the worst behavior, of massive amount of social welfare state.0.98
00:29:02.000And if you want the real tragedy, it's we mistreated the Native population legitimately 150 years ago.
00:29:09.000Like there's no spin, like just the way it is.
00:29:11.000And now we've continued to mistreat them.
00:29:13.000In the name of compassion, the last 100 years is that Native Americans deserve better than nonstop government programs and addiction and welfare programs.
00:29:25.000So I don't know how it is one of the hardest things is to convince people that are not free that they should pursue liberty.
00:29:35.000And I'm sure you live amongst that every single day.
00:29:37.000I visited a lot of reservations, they're very depressing.
00:29:58.000More Americans are starting to ask an important question Why is it so difficult to get access to medications you may already know you need?
00:30:06.000If your health is your responsibility, why are outside systems deciding what you can have and when you're allowed to get it?
00:30:12.000That's one reason I recommend All Family Pharmacy.
00:30:17.000To order a wide range of medications online, from everyday maintenance medications to travel and emergency preparedness options.
00:30:23.000The process is straightforward, secure, and it's designed for people who value convenience and peace of mind.
00:30:29.000Whether you're preparing for a trip, dealing with pharmacy shortages, or simply want to be proactive for your family, All Family Pharmacy helps put you back in control.
00:30:37.000And right now, when you visit allfamilypharmacy.comslash Kirk and use promo code Kirk10, you'll save 10% off your order because being prepared isn't political, it's just responsible.
00:31:04.000What I wanted to ask is what is your best advice for a young Christian, strongly conservative teen boy to stay strong in my beliefs and not stray away to the left and become an atheist despite pushback from any,
00:31:23.000you know, Future hypothetical friends or just pressure I might face graduating high school in a couple years?
00:31:32.000I would say one of the most important things.
00:31:57.000Sane that kept me from becoming a communist in college was immediately surrounding myself with like minded people, immediately joining a local church, immediately joining a Bible study,
00:32:11.000immediately joining the campus ministry, immediately getting to know a variety of Christian families in the city who I started babysitting for.
00:32:20.000All of those people and the structure that they created around my life and holding me accountable and keeping me solid like there's so much power in looking around and realizing, oh, I'm not the only one.
00:32:32.000You have to surround yourself with people that are godlier than you are, that are stronger than you are, that are more sure about their faith and their belief system than you are, so that they can sharpen you as iron sharpens iron.
00:32:45.000So it doesn't have to be 10 friends, it can just be one solid friend.
00:32:50.000But try as much as you can to avoid isolation and surround yourself by people who make you better.
00:33:10.000You're getting a lot of college questions, but I plan on attending Grand Kennedy University in the fall.
00:33:17.000I understand how it's a little bit of a touchy subject, especially in the conservative world.
00:33:23.000I was wondering if both of you would speak into this because what I'm struggling with with college is that I'm told a lot by conservative media, by Christians, that it's not necessary.
00:33:34.000For you, your spiritual growth, your professional growth, but no one will hire me without a college degree.
00:33:43.000And I say this not try, like I've tried.
00:33:45.000So I actually applied for a turning point internship and I was told that I had to either be in my second year of college or an equivalent.
00:34:15.000But yeah, so it's just been really hard for me because I've been told I'm not yet old enough or I don't have the experience or people won't hire me without the work ethic that they know I have if I have a degree.
00:34:27.000So I'm going through this process and I'm not saying I'm not looking forward to it because I believe college has a lot of things to offer, especially because I'm going.
00:34:35.000My dad's a pastor in the area, so I'm very grounded in my faith.
00:34:40.000Great group of friends who are also Christians, so that's not what I'm going for.
00:34:44.000I'm just being told I can't progress in my life without a college degree by people who say that college is bad, so I don't really know where to go.
00:34:54.000Yeah, so I mean, look, someone's gonna get handled.
00:36:25.000And that is how I got my job that I then was able to meet my husband from that.0.56
00:36:30.000So I feel you, but I do think, I don't know how quickly it's going to change, but I do think employers, at least in our sphere, Christian conservative sphere, are looking less and less at degrees and more are you smart?0.53
00:38:00.000No, I mean, true wealth is how many children you have or how good your relationship is with them.
00:38:05.000I mean, look, I know that might sound really radical, but I've been radicalized by the amount of people that did not prioritize family formation and they delayed and they delayed and they delayed.
00:38:16.000And again, the most beautiful stories I hear are from families that they had more kids than they could afford and they extended themselves a little bit.
00:38:26.000And in that insanity and that chaos, they're formed very, very close together.
00:38:32.000And so, yeah, look, it might not be financially easy, but you have to answer a question Do you want to live a simple life or a deep life?
00:38:39.000And if you want to live a deep life, that involves having children and getting married.
00:38:44.000And again, for those of us that have kids, it is not easy.
00:38:47.000You know, Allie has three, we have two.
00:38:49.000Do you want to also, you want that self love narcissism to die?
00:39:03.000Like, okay, have two kids under the age of two and go give yourself like a nice mental hug or whatever weird Buddhist thing you're doing.
00:39:10.000And so, yeah, look, I again, I might that sound like radical advice, but have at least, you know, have a couple kids and then see how that works.
00:39:18.000But it's the most amazing thing and do it while you can.
00:40:25.000That might be something that you like to do.
00:40:28.000Prayer and reading your Bible, those are two of the best ways to get closer to God.
00:40:33.000Make sure that you're going to, I don't know if you're going to this church or not, but if you go to this church, that's great.
00:40:39.000Make sure that you've got older men or older boys who are older than you, who are discipling you, who are mentoring you, and who are teaching you what's good, right, and true.
00:40:53.000Yeah, make sure that you're plugged into the local church and to people who can influence you well.
00:42:17.000It's relatable wherever you listen to your podcast or you can watch.
00:42:20.000I've got a new book coming out, but I haven't announced it yet.
00:42:23.000So, I'm not allowed to say what it's called, although I said it a few times tonight already.
00:42:27.000And I've got that other book, You're Not Enough, and that's okay.
00:42:31.000I've also got, if you are a woman, I don't even have to define that.0.95
00:42:35.000Everyone in this room knows what that is.
00:42:37.000We have something called the Share the Arrows event that's September 28th in Dallas, Texas.
00:42:44.000We've got Francesca Battistelli, Rosaria Butterfield, Elisa Childers, lots of other speakers, and it's Christian women coming together and empowering one another with the truth of God's word and the craziness of our culture.
00:42:57.000You can go to sharethearrows.com and see more about that if you'd like.
