The Charlie Kirk Show - Why Does This Country Need Strong Men?

In this episode, President Donald Trump delivers a speech in Tulsa, Oklahoma. President Trump is a Christian and a Christian leader. He has been a Christian since he was in his early teens and is now running for president of the United States of America. He is also the founder of Turning Point USA, a powerful youth organization that fights for freedom on college campuses across the country. In this speech, President Trump talks about the need for a God that is omnivorous, omniscient, personal, and that loves you. He also talks about how we need a God who can answer the question, "What is a woman?" and why we should all be praying for a woman in the White House who can do the same. He also speaks about the importance of a strong Christian backbone in our society, and how we have allowed other parasitic ideas to infect our culture and our nation to infect us from the pit of hell and take control of our society.

00:01:29.000 I'll tell you, that is not easy to do.

00:01:32.000 I want to thank Shane for putting this on, and it's just terrific to be with all of you here.

00:01:37.000 So, for those that don't know, I'm Charlie Kirk.

00:01:40.000 I run Turning Point USA, I'll Turning Point Action, also host a podcast called The Charlie Kirk Show, and so honored to be with you guys.

00:01:48.000 I do a lot of stuff in the political arena, but the most important thing in my life is the decision I made in fifth grade out of the suburbs of Chicago when I decided to make Jesus Christ the chairman of the board of my life.

00:01:59.000 Most important decision I made.

00:02:02.000 I travel the country, I go to college campuses, so you don't have to.

00:02:05.000 And, by the way, Oral Roberts is one of the exceptions, I have to say.

00:02:10.000 This is one of the better schools in the country, so I will make this an exception.

00:02:15.000 But basically, I'm fighting for truth, and more importantly, I'm fighting for liberty, which is God's idea, not man's idea.

00:02:22.000 And if we are honest with ourselves, our country and our nation is in a very sick position right now.

00:02:27.000 And the reason I believe that our nation is in a sick position Is because Christian men have failed the test over the last couple of decades. 1.00

00:02:37.000 We hear a lot about the feminization of our culture.

00:02:41.000 What exactly does that mean?

00:02:42.000 Well, first and foremost, one of the reasons why we are seeing the feminization of our culture is we have leaders that cannot even tell you what a man or a woman is.

00:02:51.000 It's not an exaggeration.

00:02:53.000 In a Supreme Court hearing, Katanji Brown-Jackson, now a Supreme Court Justice of the United States, was asked the question, what is a woman? 0.98

00:03:00.000 And she sarcastically responded, what am I, a biologist?

00:03:03.000 I can't answer that question.

00:03:05.000 Now, it is silly, and we can make fun of that, but this is what happens when a nation no longer has the Bible as the bedrock of our society.

00:03:13.000 No longer where scripture is the ultimate authority.

00:03:18.000 There is no such thing as a cultural atheist.

00:03:21.000 Something will replace your worldview.

00:03:25.000 Something will be your God.

00:03:26.000 That is why the first of the Ten Commandments is, of course, I am the Lord your God, who delivered you out of the house of bondage of Egypt, Exodus 21.

00:03:34.000 And then Exodus 22 goes on to say, you shall have no other gods before me.

00:03:39.000 Everybody has a God, and if that God is not the God of the Bible, a God that is omniscient, ubiquitous, a God that is personal and a God that loves you,

00:03:48.000 there will be another God.

00:03:49.000 And that God might be the God of transgenderism, the God of anti-racism, the God of environmentalism, 0.98

00:03:54.000 the God of social media scrolling. Something will replace that. And in our culture, we have, as men,

00:04:01.000 have allowed Christianity to no longer be the bedrock and the backbone of this society, 0.93

00:04:06.000 and we have allowed these other parasitic idea toxins that I believe come from the pit of hell 0.93

00:04:12.000 to infect our culture and our nation.

00:04:14.000 We're going to be back in a minute.

00:04:16.000 Now, we go back to that, what is a woman? 1.00

00:04:19.000 We go right back to the scriptures.

00:04:21.000 When God created the heavens and the earth, Genesis 1-1, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

00:04:25.000 When there was creation, He created separation and order.

00:04:30.000 Distinctions are what keep us free.

00:04:33.000 Now we as Christians take these distinctions for granted.

00:04:37.000 Distinctions between good and evil.

00:04:39.000 Distinctions between man and nature.

00:04:42.000 Distinctions between male and female.

00:04:46.000 Distinctions between the holy and the profane.

00:04:49.000 Everything that the modern secular project is aiming to do in this nation is to blur, confuse, and destroy the distinctions that God established in creation.

00:05:01.000 And it is incumbent, when the church is silent on these distinctions, don't expect a secular world to be able to answer these very simple questions.

00:05:15.000 It is easy to place blame on others, but I'm going to talk about two things in particular that we see in our society that it is simply because of the lack of courage and clarity from Christian men And from churches as to why we are seeing this. 1.00

00:05:33.000 And the first is what they call the trans agenda or the trans movement.

00:05:38.000 Now I have been so sorely disappointed at the lack of rebuttal from the Christian world on what is happening to our daughters and happening to our sons via the guise of the trans agenda.

00:05:52.000 What exactly is happening here?

00:05:54.000 We are seeing the destruction of God created male and female. 0.69

00:05:58.000 We are seeing the obliteration of the distinctions.

00:06:01.000 In fact, it is so bad that in some states, thankfully not Oklahoma by the way, but in some states around the country, that if a A 13-year-old boy says he is a girl, or a 13-year-old girl says that she is a boy, that without parents' permission, they can go get themselves medically mutilated under the guise of trans-affirming, gender-affirming health care, without even notifying the parent, and they are irreversibly damaged for the rest of their life.

00:06:28.000 Now, if you do not believe in the God of the Bible, you can easily come to that conclusion, because it's their truth.

00:06:35.000 Because why are we to say that they are wrong?

00:06:37.000 Why are we to say that that child is not completely, that understands that they just feel different in a different body?

00:06:44.000 Because God didn't create male and female.

00:06:46.000 You are what you choose.

00:06:47.000 It's gender assigned at birth, is what they say.

00:06:50.000 In California, it is so bad that a teacher is not allowed to tell a parent If a child is transitioning, they are not even allowed to notify a parent.

00:07:02.000 And understand, that is why the only one of the Ten Commandments that involves your country and a promise is honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in.

00:07:15.000 A nation that no longer has children honoring their parents is a nation that will no longer be free.

00:07:24.000 We have seen the destruction of American masculinity where dads impregnate their counterparts.

00:07:30.000 I won't even say wives because many times they're not even married, I'll just say they're partners.

00:07:34.000 And they don't stay loyally with them.

00:07:36.000 Where 75% of all babies in black communities are born without a stable father around.

00:07:44.000 45% in white communities and 50% in Hispanic communities.

00:07:48.000 Where over half of marriages in this country result in divorce.

00:07:51.000 And it's easy to point fingers, but it begins with Christian men. 0.63

00:07:56.000 With Christian men is where it must begin and it must end, and most importantly in our churches. 1.00

00:08:01.000 Now, I'm gonna just say some very blunt truth, and I always try to give speeches under the attempt to not be invited back.

00:08:09.000 So, if I offend you, You might not be a man because the idea of a hyper-offended culture is a feminist idea toxin.

00:08:18.000 Oh, I'm so afraid you're going to say something I'm going to be bothered by.

00:08:22.000 So I don't really care.

00:08:24.000 The status of modern American Christianity is a husk of its former self. 0.81

00:08:31.000 Church should be a place where you are reminded that you fall short of the glory of God.

00:08:36.000 Church is a place that you need to be told by your pastor, by your shepherd, that you need to repent and repentance will lead you to revival.

00:08:47.000 Church is not a place where you go and hear a TED talk from a motivational speaker with good music, organized parking, and above average coffee.

00:08:56.000 Church is a place where you honor the holy and the divine, and you come at the cross and you say, only you, Jesus Christ.

00:09:04.000 Only because of you, we have life.

00:09:07.000 Not because of me, or my decisions, or my bank account.

00:09:11.000 What is missing in American Christianity is a hot, masculine gospel. 0.97

00:09:16.000 Instead, we have a watered-down, feelings, emotional-based, feminine gospel.

00:09:23.000 And if I'm bothering you, it's because I'm telling the truth.

00:09:26.000 Because you know it is right.

00:09:27.000 Where you go to church and they say, no, I'm not here to offend anybody.

00:09:31.000 It is your job as a pastor to say the word and to defend somebody.

00:09:35.000 It is their fault, not the Word's fault.

00:09:45.000 What does it mean to be a man in America?

00:09:47.000 Being a man in America is not posing on Instagram with a bunch of girls in bikinis and an AR-15 trying to sell you some sort of masculine coffee. 0.65

00:09:56.000 Yeah, okay, that's easy.

00:09:58.000 You know what being a man in America is?

00:10:00.000 Saying something that is true that will get you fired, canceled, or somebody says a bad word about you.

00:10:07.000 Everyone's a big macho man until they have to go to work and share Jesus.

00:10:13.000 Oh, I'm a big man.

00:10:14.000 I shoot machine guns.

00:10:16.000 Oh, yeah, okay.

00:10:17.000 You're what the kids would call LARPing. 0.92

00:10:20.000 You know what that is?

00:10:21.000 You're live-action role-playing as a man.

00:10:24.000 The most masculine people that I know are the ones that go into places where they are not welcome, they were not invited, that they will be booed offstage, and they still proclaim the truth.

00:10:34.000 That's what it means to be a man.

00:10:39.000 Not to be like, I'm such a man, I ate three pounds of bacon this morning.

00:10:42.000 Yeah, call me after your next angioplasty.

00:10:45.000 It means nothing.

00:10:46.000 By the way, obesity and gluttony is a sin.

00:10:49.000 We as American men have to call out obesity in our own ranks and say that we are too fat as a nation So stop talking about how you have three beers while watching football, and maybe get yourself in shape, and being a man is saying no to your impulses, and no to your flesh, and no to what makes you feel good, and maybe about being around so that you can actually see your grandkids graduate from college.

00:11:14.000 Oh, that one really bothered some people.

00:11:17.000 Charlie, I was with you until you said we gotta lose weight.

00:11:19.000 Well, you know what?

00:11:20.000 The Bible tells you repeatedly that those that, if you love the flesh, you are dominated by the flesh. 0.58

00:11:26.000 We don't talk about it enough in our own Christian circles.

00:11:29.000 Anyway, I digress.

00:11:30.000 Shane will never invite me back.

00:11:32.000 Mission accomplished.

00:11:36.000 How often do we see in this country that people who say that they are doing their best to be masculine and tough, but they just go along to get along.

00:11:46.000 And it can be as simple as you know when you're supposed to do the right thing.

00:11:51.000 You know when you're supposed to stand up for righteousness or for truth.

00:11:55.000 I'm going to give you two examples recently of heroic men.

00:12:00.000 One that should get more coverage and one that got a fair amount of coverage.

00:12:04.000 Anyone know the story of Daniel Penny?

00:12:06.000 Story of Daniel Penny in New York.

00:12:07.000 This should be the number one news story in the country.

00:12:11.000 This is a good man.

00:12:13.000 And he was riding the subway in New York, minding his own business.

00:12:18.000 A woman was being violently harassed by a lunatic in the subway.

00:12:22.000 You'll remember this story as I tell you.

00:12:25.000 He could have sat idly by and just waited for the police to come, which they do not come in New York anymore, as you well know.

00:12:31.000 It's become a third world dangerous city.

00:12:34.000 But he, something inside of him, being a veteran, was not going to watch a woman, someone that could not protect herself, someone that could not stand up for herself, just continue to be berated while he had the power and the ability to stop it. 0.94

00:12:49.000 He intervenes, puts this lunatic in a chokehold. 0.96

00:12:53.000 Unfortunately, the lunatic passed away because of that. 0.95

00:12:57.000 He is now on trial for murder.

00:12:59.000 While other people stood by and they did nothing.

00:13:02.000 While other people just kind of watched this incident occur.

00:13:06.000 The man who stood up to be a hero, to protect a woman from potentially being hospitalized, hurt, or even death from being harassed in a subway, is now being put up for murder.

00:13:16.000 And other people are saying, well why didn't he just wait for the police to come?

00:13:21.000 Why didn't he just wait for somebody else to come?

00:13:23.000 because he embodies what is now largely dead in this country

00:13:26.000 and what we need to bring back which is that if you see an injustice happening in front of

00:13:32.000 you it is your duty and obligation as a man of Jesus and a man

00:13:36.000 of the Lord to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves

00:13:41.000 but the culture calls that toxic masculinity You know what was toxic masculinity?

00:13:54.000 Those 18 and 19 year old boys that stormed Normandy Beach.

00:13:59.000 That would be called toxic masculinity. 1.00

00:14:01.000 They did the right thing and they didn't know what the result was going to be.

00:14:05.000 Toxic masculinity.

00:14:06.000 I love this term.

00:14:08.000 How often have we ever been allowed to say what toxic femininity is, by the way? 0.95

00:14:13.000 Oh, that's a thought crime.

00:14:14.000 You're not allowed to say that.

00:14:16.000 By the way, that's why I have a full-time job, just saying things you're not allowed to say.

00:14:20.000 I love when, you know, I get a kick out of it.

00:14:23.000 Somebody just went, when I landed, someone came up, he asked for a picture, he said, Charlie, I wish I could say the things that you say.

00:14:28.000 And this guy, I tell you what, I could throw him into a UFC match and he would be successful.

00:14:32.000 I mean, he's huge, he's massive.

00:14:34.000 And he looks as if he, I said, well, why don't you?

00:14:37.000 He's like, well, I'll just lose my job.

00:14:39.000 Okay.

00:14:41.000 He's like, well, I, I, that's scary.

00:14:44.000 Okay.

00:14:46.000 And if you're afraid of, like, losing your income?

00:14:49.000 What?

00:14:50.000 You think that when you go in front of the divine and you say, well, I didn't trust you that much, God.

00:14:57.000 I needed to be able to, you know, get the paycheck.

00:15:01.000 Does God call us in Joshua 9?

00:15:03.000 Be strong and courageous.

00:15:05.000 Parenthetically, unless you have to pay for a mortgage, want to go on a vacation, continue to make your credit card statements, be strong and courageous only if.

00:15:14.000 And you might say, well, Charlie, it's really easy for you to say.

00:15:16.000 I mean, yes and no.

00:15:18.000 I mean, I get my fair share of daily death threats and people that want to murder me and kill me, but I totally acknowledge it.

00:15:24.000 I am born with a genetic deformity that I wish you had, which is that some people like me and I don't care who hates me.

00:15:35.000 I totally acknowledge I have a genetic deformity.

00:15:38.000 I really don't care if people say, well, you know, I don't like what you have to say.

00:15:42.000 The mark of whether or not you are going to be a man of the Lord is if you will be like a Daniel. 0.97

00:15:48.000 You know, it's so funny during all the lockdowns, which by the way, another failure of American Christianity. 0.93

00:15:56.000 Another failure of American men. 0.77

00:15:59.000 We need to repent on our hands and knees and ask the Lord for forgiveness that only Christ can provide that we allowed them to lock down schools, take Easter from us, Pentecost from us, shut down our churches, and call the Bride of Christ non-essential while we just kind of sat around and let the government Destroy an entire generation and turn that generation to the most suicidal, alcohol-addicted, drug-addicted generation history.

00:16:26.000 If the men of America would have rose up during the lockdowns, they would have ended the same afternoon.

00:16:31.000 But instead, in a feminine culture, you know what a feminine culture does? 1.00

00:16:35.000 Yes, sir, Big Daddy government.

00:16:37.000 What other rules would you like?

00:16:38.000 Mask while I shower?

00:16:40.000 Absolutely.

00:16:41.000 Nine booster shots?

00:16:42.000 You got it.

00:16:43.000 A mask while I'm driving alone?

00:16:45.000 Absolutely.

00:16:47.000 A masculine culture says, this is outrageous, I'm not following it, what are you going to do about it? 1.00

00:16:56.000 That's what a masculine culture would have done. 1.00

00:16:58.000 But we don't have a masculine culture.

00:17:00.000 We have a rule-following culture that is swallowed by the bureaucracy.

00:17:04.000 We have a culture that wants to be approved, that wants high status symbols.

00:17:08.000 This is why they try to pummel you on a daily basis and call you toxically masculine.

00:17:13.000 Because the way that this changes for the better in this country is where the men of this nation, and specifically Christian men, say, no. 0.57

00:17:22.000 I'm not going to do that, actually.

00:17:23.000 I'm not going to call you by that fake pronoun.

00:17:25.000 I'm not going to wear the mask.

00:17:26.000 I'm not going to vaccinate.

00:17:27.000 If you want to do that, that's fine.

00:17:29.000 But you're not going to have me do it.

00:17:31.000 You're certainly not going to touch my children.

00:17:33.000 And let me say it again.

00:17:35.000 What are you going to do about it, pal?

00:17:38.000 As soon as that attitude changes, these people are weak, fragile, paranoid, and afraid.

00:17:44.000 And they want you to act as if we have so much to lose.

00:17:50.000 That is a feminine spirit in the worst possible way. 1.00

00:17:53.000 Toxic femininity is constantly walking around an eggshell saying, well, I don't know if I can say this because that's politically incorrect, or I don't know if I could say this. 1.00

00:18:01.000 Now, don't get me wrong.

00:18:02.000 We need a balance between the feminine and the masculine. 1.00

00:18:04.000 Both are beautiful.

00:18:05.000 And by the way, you have a biblical obligation to love your wife like Christ loved the church.

00:18:13.000 And that must be repeated on a daily basis.

00:18:18.000 Biblical masculinity is not watching pornography anymore.

00:18:22.000 Biblical masculinity is raising generations of young men to know not to seek pleasure or the flesh, but to obey God and all that we do with humility, integrity, honesty.

00:18:35.000 And the other name I want to mention that has gotten a fair amount of coverage is someone that, in a moment's notice, is the best of what a biblical man is.

00:18:46.000 And I would say, if I pray that in a five-second interval, I would act the way that this man did.

00:18:54.000 This guy by the name of Corey Capitone.

00:18:55.000 Anyone know that name?

00:18:57.000 I'm glad that you do.

00:18:59.000 Corey Capitone is the firefighter in Butler, Pennsylvania, where President Trump gets shot in the ear, but other bullets, unfortunately, missed even further than that.

00:19:09.000 And shots started to get fired and this firefighter, his initial reaction was to put his body over his daughter.

00:19:16.000 Tragically, he passed away, but his daughter is alive today.

00:19:25.000 Let it be our prayer that when we go, we go like that.

00:19:31.000 That that is, right there, a perfect picture of what it means to lay down your life for those that can't protect themselves.

00:19:42.000 That right there is the perfect example of what it means to be a biblical man.

00:19:46.000 It's not fast cars.

00:19:48.000 It's not all that nonsense you see.

00:19:50.000 It's, you know what?

00:19:50.000 No, in that five-second interval, I hear shots fired, I'm putting my body over my daughter's.

00:19:57.000 That she may have life because I'm willing to sacrifice everything.

00:20:01.000 It's at two o'clock in the morning when there's a noise in the house, it's you that gets up with the gun or the baseball bat.

00:20:07.000 It should be a gun, by the way, or whatever.

00:20:12.000 And I'm so flummoxed by this.

00:20:14.000 This one kid came up to me, a good young Christian kid, and he's like, you know, I can't find a girl, blah, blah, blah.

00:20:20.000 He's like, yeah.

00:20:21.000 I said, okay, tell me about it.

00:20:22.000 He's like, yeah, you know, we were going out for a date, and the check came, and we were all paying our part.

00:20:25.000 I said, wait, wait, wait, what do you mean paying your part?

00:20:28.000 He's like, yeah, you know, we split the bill.

00:20:31.000 I said, what are you talking about splitting the bill?

00:20:34.000 He's like, yeah, you know, we split the bill.

00:20:35.000 I said, well, what kind of a man are you splitting the bill when you take a girl out on a date?

00:20:41.000 He's like, well, I don't have all the money.

00:20:42.000 I said, I would go into debt and knock doors and beg on the streets before I allowed my wife to pay for any date, let alone the first date. 1.00

00:20:53.000 The humiliation?

00:20:54.000 Oh, let's split this.

00:20:58.000 No, it is your role to lead with confidence.

00:21:03.000 It is your role to put the financial burden of the family on your back?

00:21:08.000 It's your role to stay steady when things get unruly?

00:21:13.000 It is your... To split the check?

00:21:16.000 Where does this come from?

00:21:17.000 He's like, well, you know, I just... My pastor, my youth grower said, well, that's the first problem, obviously.

00:21:23.000 You know, said that it's, you know, customary to do that.

00:21:25.000 And that might seem like an insignificant thing, but it's a very, very big thing.

00:21:29.000 Could you imagine in the World War II generation, when they come back from World War II, and they go out to dinner, and they're like, yeah, let's split it? 0.97

00:21:39.000 You know your grandfather's generation.

00:21:42.000 No way!

00:21:44.000 And I want you to think about that generation, because, and I'll say this as I close up, which is, that generation had something which is one of my favorite words that is missing in America today.

00:21:56.000 It's one of my favorite English words.

00:21:58.000 Which is duty.

00:22:02.000 We do not teach our children about duty.

00:22:06.000 The idea of duty is a narcissism killer.

00:22:10.000 We have a narcissistic generation right now.

00:22:13.000 A narcissistic country.

00:22:14.000 It's all about me, all about self, my feelings, my choice, my decisions.

00:22:20.000 Christianity is at odds with narcissism because Christianity has duty within it. 0.85

00:22:26.000 Because once you give your life to Jesus, who lived a perfect life for you, and you

00:22:31.000 get life eternal, all of a sudden it's not all about you.

00:22:35.000 It's about what should I do?

00:22:37.000 What ought I do?

00:22:38.000 What does God want from me?

00:22:39.000 What are the duties and the obligations that are expected out of me?

00:22:44.000 And one of the reasons why we have a collapsing fertility problem in this country, one of the reasons why we're having less children than ever before, one of the reasons why we're having less people married than ever before, is because they're actually asking a rational, self-centered, narcissistic question.

00:23:00.000 They're saying, well, this is hard.

00:23:03.000 So why should I do the hard thing?

00:23:07.000 And the answer is, well, because you have a duty.

00:23:10.000 To get married, and do hard things, and to go on an adventure, and your feelings are far less important than one ought to do.

00:23:20.000 And guess what?

00:23:20.000 While we're at it, if you think, oh, you know, that's hard, do you know what's even harder?

00:23:26.000 Being in your mid-40s, and childless, and not married.

00:23:31.000 And the amount of regret that that has brought so many people in this country.

00:23:34.000 But they took the easy way out.

00:23:35.000 I'm talking about men and women that end up on that path.

00:23:39.000 Because we have painted a path that don't do the hard thing, don't do the difficult thing.

00:23:45.000 And what we need is a clarion call of what happened in Genesis 12.

00:23:50.000 In Genesis 12, the best reading of this is God basically tells Abram, stop being a bum. 0.94

00:23:57.000 Leave your father's home.

00:23:59.000 You're like 85 years old after all.

00:24:03.000 I think that's about right.

00:24:04.000 85?

00:24:04.000 Yeah, I was about 85.

00:24:05.000 Something ridiculous.

00:24:07.000 And go on an adventure. 0.97

00:24:10.000 Go do something.

00:24:11.000 I'm calling you to go do something.

00:24:14.000 To be a biblical man in America, it's not about keep playing it safe. 0.97

00:24:20.000 It's not about just serving yourself.

00:24:23.000 Moses is another great example.

00:24:25.000 Moses had it all.

00:24:27.000 Moses was living in Midian with his father-in-law Jethro.

00:24:30.000 He got along with his father-in-law.

00:24:32.000 Pretty amazing, might I add.

00:24:34.000 They liked each other.

00:24:36.000 And God called them on an adventure.

00:24:38.000 Exodus 3, he saw a burning bush, the fire was not consumed.

00:24:43.000 And basically Moses was like, why me?

00:24:46.000 Why do I have to go on this?

00:24:47.000 And Moses' life was miserable from that point forward.

00:24:51.000 Moses had to lead the most unimpressive group of people in the history of ancient literature through a desert for multiple decades.

00:25:00.000 They complain, they whine, they fight.

00:25:04.000 And Moses at the end of the book of Deuteronomy is like, I did the best I could with these people.

00:25:09.000 And by the way, that's how I know the Bible is true, is because only God could deliver the Hebrews out of Egypt. 0.94

00:25:15.000 There's no way they could have done that on their own.

00:25:17.000 No way.

00:25:18.000 They see quail blown off course, manna from heaven, all the miracles, and they're like, can we go back to Egypt?

00:25:23.000 At least we had meat.

00:25:25.000 We had better food.

00:25:27.000 We had like a Texas Roadhouse, even though Pharaoh was killing us and our babies, throwing them in the river.

00:25:31.000 But at least we had, you know, ribeye.

00:25:34.000 You think I'm kidding.

00:25:34.000 It's Numbers 14.

00:25:35.000 You could read it for yourself.

00:25:38.000 To go on that adventure and to trust God with obedience is what's missing.

00:25:43.000 And so the question of the challenge in front of us, the question is, will Christian men commit to what really matters, to the divine, to the beautiful, to the good, with courage and with purpose?

00:25:55.000 And that does not mean just acting, you know, trying to bodybuild and lift weights and all that stuff.

00:26:01.000 It's deeper than that.

00:26:02.000 It's the next time that you are confronted With saying the hard thing and the honest thing and you know it comes at a price to your flesh or yourself, you say the true thing.

00:26:13.000 The next time you see somebody who is suffering or is being treated unjustly and you can intervene, you do something about it.

00:26:22.000 You stand up to the bully.

00:26:23.000 You stand up to the TSA person that might be, you know, holding up an entire family unnecessarily.

00:26:29.000 You put your own neck on there and you choose what is right over what is comfortable.

00:26:35.000 They want American men to be weak, put into corners, afraid of your own shadow.

00:26:42.000 But they know that if men and Christian men start to recommit to the truths and the promises of the Bible, that this country can and will be saved.

00:26:52.000 I hope we'll do it.

00:26:53.000 God bless you guys.
