00:05:26.340And so when you look at building new Christendom, like you said, taking dominion, one of the principles of warfare is a concentration of force.
00:05:36.460And so when you see in war, you see like a weak spot in the enemy's defenses, you would employ the concentration of force and you would breach there.
00:05:45.940And obviously that's been happening to us, to Christian society for a long time, is that the weak spot in the defenses have been fathers.
00:05:56.340And so there is a war being fought against fathers and fatherhood. And so what we're going to do is we're going to punch back. We're going to show this weak spot and shore up our defenses. I mean, I think that's really what needs to happen in order to recover Christian ethics, Christian culture, and Christian worship is a strong class of fathers.
00:06:22.360And so we're going to look at the effects and the fallout of failed generations of fathers and the fruit that it produces and then what we can do about it.
00:06:33.860Yeah, it's really interesting. And we'll start to unpack some of the episodes now, give you kind of a flyover country view of what we're going to talk about this season.
00:06:41.880But I found it really interesting in researching and doing a lot of the prep for this season that these issues, we have things like statism and welfare state, which has replaced the father.
00:06:54.580So kind of like 20th century things that happen that are pretty unique.
00:06:58.380But when you go back to it, you can listen or read about in the Fifth Commandment Westminster Confession, pretty much this isn't a new problem.
00:07:07.500They're talking about how fatherhood is God's plan for authority, order, and structure in the
00:07:11.420entire cosmos. So really, we have an advantage too, because we have ancient pillars to stand
00:07:17.440on and rebuild. We're not trying to reinvent something new. Even if you go back to Paul's
00:07:23.480statement, you have not many fathers. I mean, that is just a sentence from Paul that's really
00:07:29.720stuck with me and rolled in my mind a lot as I'm thinking, what did Paul mean by that?
00:07:33.340But all the way back there in the first generation of the church, Paul is saying there's this issue where you need wise, old, sage men who can father you, raise up the next generation.
00:07:45.760And he didn't just mean physical fathers.
00:11:03.980If you have that question, that's one of the things we want to do.
00:11:06.600I think to Brian's point from earlier, we're trying to be very blue collar and practical because it's one thing to talk about these lofty city states and the things that we would want to build.
00:11:16.900And even ideas like Christian nationalism.
00:11:19.120But that's 50 years down the road of fruitful, faithful plotting in local communities, establishing households.
00:11:27.040And I think a lot of it, too, helping young men with just practical ways that you can build a robust household.
00:11:33.580Sort of tied into this as well is also episodes that we'll do on generational sins.
00:11:39.020Some of the things that I've seen on Twitter is when you correct a generational sin, either in the millennials, but most likely it's in the older generations,
00:11:46.920we get a lot of pushback and we say you should never point out the failures.
00:11:51.340And then on the other hand, we have a lot of, I would call it reviling that goes on from both camps.
00:11:56.860So we're going to be talking about how do you correct generational sins and errors
00:12:00.080while still honoring the fifth commandment, still honoring your fathers
00:12:03.880and fathers not exasperating your children.
00:12:06.320We're going to talk about the fifth commandment.
00:12:08.540As we said before, there's more than one type of father.
00:12:12.180Thomas Watson and others have pointed this out,
00:12:14.160and we're going to talk about why it is so important.
00:12:16.920And then, Dan, we're going to talk about a subject I know that is near and dear to your heart.
00:12:21.220Show me I'm on this new eating program.
00:12:43.180It is actually kind of interesting because in our culture, particularly evangelical culture, if you talk about wealth and you say, like, anything positive about it, we've sort of been living in this poverty gospel world, especially in the conservative branches, where wealth is always bad.
00:12:58.600Yeah, even some of the verses of—if you said them and you didn't tell someone, that was literally a Bible verse.
00:13:04.700People would be like, wow, that was pretty—I don't know, okay, Creflo.
00:13:08.620Wise fathers leave an inheritance.1.00
00:16:10.200It's amazing that you find this father there at the headwaters in many ways.
00:16:15.560What's also interesting on the issue of city fathers because we typically think of fathers in the political space as you shouldn't legislate morality.
00:22:03.040We try not to, on the King's Hall, we try not just to get clout interviews.
00:22:09.340I hope that you, you know, there's like a podcast model of, let's just get the guy, whoever has the most followers on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook that we can find, get an interview hoping that they make our audience bigger.
00:22:20.480And you'll know that's what we're doing if you see, like, King's Hall has Andrew Tate.
00:22:52.380Whether it's either of those situations, what we want to bring to you are these conversations that are going to move the needle in your life on the subjects.
00:23:02.280Regardless of platform, regardless of reach, we want to bring you these kind of conversations that will actually make a difference in your day so that you can at the end of the interview say, so what?
00:23:14.380And answer that question with helpful things for you to do and bring into your own life.
00:23:19.720Yeah, that's absolutely, as I would say, huge.
