In this episode, Pastor Ken teaches on the coming generation of hard men, and how to deal with them. We are entering a time where there will soon be a massive crop of young hard men.

00:00:27.500 we are entering a time where there will soon be a massive crop of young
00:00:31.800 hard men we've had soft men i believe that the hard men are coming many of them will be young
00:00:39.200 these young hard men will not follow titles i believe that they will care very little for
00:00:46.660 credentials and letters after names they will not follow titles they will only follow courage
00:00:54.580 but in their zeal being young in their zeal they pose a threat of destroying all that is good in
00:01:04.220 the world along with the evil in their quest to vanquish the evil of the land they pose the threat
00:01:11.100 of being overly zealous and destroying the good along with it so the key i believe the key
00:01:17.800 is for the strength of these young hard men
00:01:22.500 to be harnessed by even harder men
00:01:25.380 but who possess softer hearts.
00:01:30.420 The solution,
00:01:33.160 the solution to there are hard men tyrants,
00:01:37.240 totalitarian, authoritarian tyrants.
00:01:40.680 You study history, you've got that type.
00:01:43.600 They're bad.
00:01:44.060 And then you've got weak tyrants, soft tyrants. 0.52
00:01:50.280 They're also really bad.
00:01:52.640 Right? 0.59
00:01:52.940 A hard authoritarian type of totalitarian tyrant. 0.76
00:01:57.560 That guy could rack up millions of deaths.
00:02:01.820 And then you've got soft totalitarian men who can hit 100 million.
00:02:10.700 The solution.
00:02:12.000 What I'm saying is the solution to an authoritarian spirit is not DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
00:02:23.280 The solution to bad hard men is not bad soft men.
00:02:30.800 The solution to evil hard men is good hard men.
00:02:37.060 We want men who are even stronger, even harder.
00:02:40.980 hard men with soft hearts the solution to both kinds of tyrants both kinds of evil men evil
00:02:48.740 hard men evil soft men the solution for an evil hard man or an evil soft man is a good man a good
00:02:56.020 man that's the solution good men and good men are not weak and part of the problem is that again
00:03:04.280 within evangelicalism as we talk about things like gender we talk about biblical manhood a biblical
00:03:09.580 womanhood we have completely severed biblical masculinity from anything that would that they
00:03:16.280 would even come close to resembling physical strength how many books have been written over
00:03:24.340 the past few decades about a biblical masculinity has nothing you know a biblical you can be
00:03:29.560 biblically masculine and and you're in every way fulfilling god's commands for men and you also
00:03:34.840 have to ask your wife for help to open a pickle jar. As though these things are completely separate. 0.68
00:03:42.420 They're not. They're not. I have come to learn as a 37-year-old man who, where a lot of my
00:03:52.120 professional career has been inside work, labor, intellectual labor, reading books. And I've come
00:04:00.120 to realize that there's a deficiency there and it does correlate to the goodness and the well-being
00:04:06.060 the health of my soul it's not just exterior that's a gnostic idea that the physical is
00:04:12.340 completely separate from the soul now there there is a connection there's a correlation with men
00:04:18.400 who work in the dirt being good men there is something to be said for hard physical labor
00:04:27.580 that shapes character,
00:04:29.600 not just physical muscles,
00:04:31.340 not just biceps,
00:04:33.080 but it shapes character,
00:04:35.800 virtue.
00:04:37.860 And there's a sense in which
00:04:39.380 virtue can be lost and squandered
00:04:41.560 and underdeveloped with weak,
00:04:44.360 and I mean physically weak, soft men.
00:04:46.900 What we've done over the past few decades
00:04:48.660 is completely sever biblical masculinity 0.89
00:04:51.320 from anything that any of our predecessors
00:04:55.220 would have thought of
00:04:56.040 when they thought of masculinity.
00:04:58.280 We've said that masculinity has nothing to do, 0.73
00:05:00.740 nothing to do with working with your hands.
00:05:03.560 It has nothing to do with hunting.
00:05:05.940 It has nothing to do with being able to change a tire.
00:05:09.280 It has nothing to do, and these are things that I've been,
00:05:12.160 as I'm getting older, as I now have a son who's a year old,
00:05:17.160 I'm thinking, and there's certain ways I may be able to include him
00:05:21.180 in my work as a pastor, but a lot of ways that he won't be able to.
00:05:24.620 And I've been thinking, well, I might need to carve out a little bit of time
00:05:27.880 to start a business, not even to, you know, to be that profitable
00:05:31.160 or to be a millionaire, but just to do something with my hands
00:05:34.320 a few hours a week that I can include my son in when he gets older.
00:05:38.700 So it's not just dad's going to go to work and read books.
00:05:42.560 You know, and my hand cramps as I turn one of the pages
00:05:44.960 because I've become, you know, like, no, like, I mean,
00:05:48.020 it's good for dad and it's good for him to get outside and do something.
00:05:54.620 The solution for evil hard men is good men.
00:05:57.060 The solution for evil soft men is good men.
00:05:59.400 But what we've done as a society is we've said, 0.51
00:06:01.940 hey, we had some hard men, totalitarian, authoritarian, terrible men.
00:06:07.060 And so we'll solve it by being soft.
00:06:10.080 And when I say soft, think inclusion.
00:06:13.400 And one of the things that we've done in the spirit of inclusion
00:06:16.080 is we've said we will not tolerate dogmatism.
00:06:20.360 anybody who says some kind of dogmatic statement that this is true it's it's undeniably true it's
00:06:28.380 true whether i was ever born or not mark that man he's a dangerous man anybody who believes
00:06:35.280 in universal truth transcendent truth immutable standards and they would say it publicly and say
00:06:42.340 it with conviction mark that man he's a dangerous man we've seen men like that before
00:06:48.760 now you have now the men that you saw like that before they were hard men sure
00:06:56.060 but they weren't good men they were hard men on the outside but they also had hardened hearts
00:07:02.720 now the solution to evil is good
00:07:08.360 not hard or soft but good masculine men who are hard men but who are also good men
00:07:17.100 Feminine women who pursue femininity in the biblical sense as a virtue that are also good women.
00:07:47.100 We'll be right back.
