3. Suppression of Masculinity

a. Pew Research has found that, on average, Christian congregants across the world skew about 53% female, 46% male. In the U.S., surveys show a split that’s even wider: 61% women to 39% men (the gap occurs in every age category, and is thus not due to the fact that women live longer than men). In sheer numbers, what this means is that on any given Sunday in America, there are 13 million more women than men attending church.

b. "Thus, stoicism is linked to masculinity to act as a restraint on the aggressive side of this identity that sometimes runs amok, and we can see the incentive for cultures to do this. All told, this practice has probably prevented countless cases of violent outbursts and many casualties throughout history." - From  

c. "Even the World Health Organization made this point in 2015. White females, for instance, have better health than white males and more access to health resources; they have better aggregate grades, test scores, college graduation rates, post-secondary education; they are safer at home and in school than white males. The list is very long, and the same holds true for comparisons of African American, Native American, Latino American, and Asian American males and females." -From  

d. "As profiles of school shooters have shown us, the most dangerous male is not one who is strong, aggressive, and successful; the most dangerous male is one who is depressed, unable to partner or raise children successfully, unable to earn a living, unable to care for his children. The most dangerous man is not one with power but one who feels powerless." - From  

e. Male Abuse:

4. Suppression of Femininity

a. The real suppression of Femininity is the lack of leadership:

i. "In this study, we look into the historical roots of the witch-hunt. For a period of 540 years, between 1241 and 1782, the burning of witches has been well documented. During these 540 years witch-hunts were simply the culmination of a passionate hostility against femininity as such within western culture. As can clearly be seen in the texts of the great medieval theologians, the humiliation and degradation of the female sex--and the condemnation (or diabolization) of sexuality as well as antisexual prejudices--originate from a pre-Christian, heathen-mythological way of thinking, which was largely established by the medieval church as a form of syncretism and the notions of which persist even today. In those days the compulsive regulation of sexuality and the threat of the torments of hell, if one did not obey these rules, initiated the vicious circle of failure, guilt and fear in people's minds and so made it impossible to overcome the Oedipus complex. This regression to the 'anal stage of development' prepared the ground for sadomasochistic destructiveness, which was (supported by superstition) projected outwards onto the so-called witches." - From  

1. What is a lifestyle

       a. The Huffington Post wrote "First of all, masculinity is a socially constructed concept that people selectively use to describe what a man should be and how he should act." - From  

              i. Do you agree with that definition?

       b. Regardless of what modern society tells you, please remember that:

              i. Your boys are not rapists in waiting.

              ii. Your boys are not inherently violent or misogynistic.

              iii. Your boys are not privileged by nature of their sex.

   iv. Your boys do not need to be drugged up.drugged up. are not broken and in need of being fixed.

v. Your boys do not need to be drugged up.

vi. Your boys are not inherently toxic and there is nothing toxic about their masculinity.

2. Man Code

a. "The rise of a narrative that centered on Jesus as a personal lover, also potentially helped transform the Christian gospel from a public pursuit to a private affair. Men are inherently outward-facing in their disposition – manhood in all cultures and times had to be pursued and proven in the public sphere – but the mysticism of the Middle Ages began to turn the Christian faith in an inward direction." - McKay, Brett; McKay, Kate. Muscular Christianity: The Relationship Between Men and Faith (pp. 28-29). Semper Virilis Publishing. Kindle Edition. 

b. "Manhood was never a private affair — a boy was initiated into it by his community and it had to be repeatedly re-proven in the public arena thereafter. A man was thus primarily concerned with his honor — with having a reputation worthy of the respect of his fellow men. To maintain that reputation, if he got pushed, he pushed back." - McKay, Brett; McKay, Kate. Muscular Christianity: The Relationship Between Men and Faith (pp. 8-9). Semper Virilis Publishing. Kindle Edition. 

3. Salve Morality - A man that is harmless is a weak man not a virtuous man.

a. Inclusiveness in Christianity under the disguise of tolerance

b. Soft Forgiveness - Forgiveness in modern Christianity has become an easy fix; a soft virtue of just feeling bad about what you did. Does not include any idea of restitution or penance.

c. "Podles and others say that while the loving, merciful, nurturing, gentle side of Jesus represents one part of his character, he has another, often ignored side — a lion in contrast to the better-known lamb — marked by traits like justice, boldness, power, and self-mastery. This is Jesus the carpenter, the desert camper, the whip-cracker." -McKay, Brett; McKay, Kate. Muscular Christianity: The Relationship Between Men and Faith (p. 12). Semper Virilis Publishing. Kindle Edition. 

4. Master Morality - Every real man is a killer that has the killer under control.

a. "the Christian gospel hardly disavowed its “us vs. them” ethos; Jesus had no problem drawing lines between the sheep and the goats — those who were part of his tribe, and those who had no place in it. All would be welcome, as long as they lived a strenuous code of ethics. Sharp of tongue, deft in debate, and unafraid of conflict, challenging the status quo, or causing offense, Jesus was anything but safe and predictable." -McKay, Brett; McKay, Kate. Muscular Christianity: The Relationship Between Men and Faith (p. 13). Semper Virilis Publishing. Kindle Edition. 

1. How the New Age Has Crept Into the Church

a. Sentimentalism - David Hume wrote in "A Treatise of Human Nature": "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them."

i. This will give way to Hedonism, and nihilism.

b. Concupiscence - I do not subscribe to the idea that Concupiscence is merely a strong desire. No but it is the being ruled by the strong desire.

i. Colossians 3:5 (KJV) 5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 

ii. Early Church teaching: 

1) Likewise, Rufus tells us that “the man who wants to live a godly life must not only learn the lessons which pertain to virtue but train himself to follow them eagerly and rigorously.”  The philosopher has to train both his soul and his body by enduring hardships and not giving into pleasures but instead we should “accustom ourselves to cold, heat, thirst, hunger, scarcity of food, hardness of bed, abstaining from pleasures, and enduing pains.”  “The person who is practicing to become a philosopher must seek to overcome himself so we won’t welcome pleasure and avoid pain, so that he won’t love living and fear death, and in the case of money, he won’t honor receiving over giving.”  “The man who wants to be good must not only learn the lessons which pertain to virtue but also train himself to follow them eagerly and rigorously.” -Musonius Rufus, Lectures, Book 6, pp. 36-37.

2) “Carnal concupiscence must not be ascribed to marriage; it is only to be tolerated in marriage.  It is not a good which comes out of the essence of marriage, but an evil which is the accident of original sin.” - St Augustine, “On Marriage and Concupiscence,” In the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, First Series, Volume 5, translated by Rev CL Cornish (Boston: Hendrickson Publishers, 1994, first published 1887), 271, chapter 19.

3) “Intercourse of marriage for the sake of begetting children has no fault, and intercourse in the marital bed to satisfy lust has but venial fault, but intercourse in adultery or fornication is a deadly fault.” - St Augustine, “On the Good of Marriage,” 401-402, chapter 6.

c. Relationship Theology

i. Nowhere in biblical scripture does it say "Have a personal relationship with Jesus"

1) This is an assumption based on the servant/master relationship explained. But the Relationship theology builds more on top of the servant/master relationship then what scripture outlines.

d. Watered Down

i. How does the message get watered down?

1) Personal emotions: The sermon become more about addressing personal problems and emotions then about scriptural teachings. There is an application for this kind of thing but most sermons today are more about psychological counseling then application of scripture to a psychological problem or just scripture itself.

e.   Conviction

i. We do not hold people accountable because it "hurts their feelings"

1) Hurt feelings is no justification for enforcement of biblical teachings. We have men marrying divorced women whose ex-husband (which are still their husband according the John 4) and we say nothing about it.

1. What is politics?

     b. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRFM6bUtLv9/

     c. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQl98hiN19m/

     d. Standard Definition - the art or science concerned with guiding or influencing governmental policy

2. Politics by Gender: From  

After enfranchisement, women were more politically conservative than men in their ideology, party attachment, and vote choice across most democracies (Lipset, 1960). Scholars typically reasoned that women’s higher levels of religiosity encouraged stronger ties to religious and conservative parties. Further, fewer women participated in the paid workforce, and thus they were less likely to join trade unions, the very organizations that historically connected workers to leftist parties

Trends in American elections reflect those found cross-nationally. Figure 1 displays the difference between the proportion of women who voted for the Democratic Party and the proportion of men doing the same in U.S. presidential elections from 1948 to 2008. Positive values signify more women voting for the Democratic Party than men. These data come from survey respondents’ reported vote choice from the American National Election Studies (ANES). Despite the ebb and flow over time, the overall pattern clearly shows that women are more supportive of the Democratic Party over time

3. The history of female nature and witchcraft

4. What is the division of religion and politics

5. Freedom: 

Freedom is the discipline to use personal moral strength to not be a slave to vice. It is a measurement of discipline. 

Epictetus wrote " Freedom is the only worthy goal in life . It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control." 

Epictetus also wrote "Only the educated are free." and " No man is free who is not master of himself." 

He also wrote " Freedom and slavery, the one is the name of virtue and the other of vice, and both are acts of the will." 

Seneca wrote "Tis the upright mind that holds true sovereignty." 

Unfortunately, it is a harsh reality that freedom ultimately requires death in order to be maintained and secured. Thomas Jefferson observed "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." 

Freedom is therefore a measurement of discipline and in order to be disciplined, one must accept the possibility of harm and/or death. For only in our greatest pain and discomfort does lasting change come.

Your life is completely in your control and so is your ability to take another life. I am not speaking of murder but the invocation of justice. Murder does not bring discipline, murder is and escape of personal problems. But justice is a virtuous quality and all too often the reprobated cancer in society needs purged. I speak of capital punishment under the rule of law, do not mistake my words. It takes discipline to submit to righteous laws and discipline to oppose unrighteous laws.

Freedom is a fragile thing. I liken it to gaining weight. One day you look in the mirror and ask "What Happened!" You know full well what happened. A series of poor decisions made over a long period of time. As Thomas Sowell has noted " Freedom is unlikely to be lost all at once and openly. It is far more likely to be eroded away, bit by bit, amid glittering promises and expressions of noble ideals."

Let us review the hypocrisy of the liberal mind by looking at what they say they are protesting, and what they are actually doing. OUr Freedom of Speech is under attack here in the US and the more we sit quietly the more we lose our freedoms.

Don't just drink the cool-aid! Know the fact and research for yourself. As a man, you cannot afford to blindly believe others because the consequence for you and your family are dire. 

In this episode, I break down the lockdown and riots narrative that has gripped our society this last week. The rioter and liberals simply believe the liberal narrative, but is it true or did the American people, out of fear, simply give elected tyrants more power then the law allows?

People will lie to you, that should be expected. In God We Trust, All Others We Investigate!

Have you ever thought that the standard between men and women are anything but equal?

I. Objectification:

A. Male Porn/Female Porn -Yes most men watch porn. Men are biologically wired toward visual stimuli and are psychologically pushed to it with the media and social pressures. This is in the form of advertisements and the hookup culture. But wait there is female Porn too...

B. Objectifying women is bad!

C. Physical Standards

i. Weight - Males - Body Shaming

ii. Height - Females

2) (Warning Contains strong language) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn4XiENDy88

II. Men are not permitted a moment of weakness. Men shouldn't cry or they should "Man UP", or "Suck It Up". Double standard, but then women complain that men don't show emotion. This is the perfect Catch 22, masculine men are misogynistic and mean but soy boys are cry babies.

III. Abuse

A. Physical Abuse -Women justify male abuse with what I call the Abuse excuse - They say things like: "He must have wanted it". Another is the Lucky stud myth - "if he didn't like it he must be gay" or, "she must have been ugly" or, and multiple more. All to justify it.

IV. Equality

A. Suicide is not equal

"Suicides increase as the pressures of the male role and hormones increase. Before puberty, the suicide rates among males and females are about equal. However, between ten and fourteen, boys commit suicide at almost twice the rate of girls. Between fifteen and nineteen, boys commit suicide at four times the rate of girls; and between twenty and twenty-four, the rate of male suicide is between five and six times that of females." -Farrell, PhD, Warren. The Boy Crisis (p. 16). BenBella Books, Inc.. Kindle Edition. 

B. Stress is not Equal

"Is this because females are inherently better at handling stress? Perhaps not. When men and women are exposed to similar pressures to perform, as among men and women in the military, the female suicide rate soars almost as high as the male rate." - Farrell, PhD, Warren. The Boy Crisis (p. 17). BenBella Books, Inc.. Kindle Edition. - Alan Zarembo, “Suicide Rate of Female Military Veterans Is Called ‘Staggering,’” Los Angeles Times, June 8, 2015, http://latimes.com/nation/la-na-female-veteran-suicide-20150608-story.html. Female veterans commit 28.7 suicides for each 32.1 committed by male veterans.

C. Crime is not Equal

"Might the 700 percent increase in the 93 percent male prison population in the last half century mean that the way we our raising our sons in the last half century is leading to a deterioration in their mental health?" - Farrell, PhD, Warren. The Boy Crisis (p. 18). BenBella Books, Inc.. Kindle Edition.
