1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400 S1: Hi friends, this is Janet Parshall. Thanks so much for 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,160 S1: downloading this podcast, and I hope you hear something that 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,560 S1: will really encourage and edify you. But before you start 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,400 S1: to listen, let me take a moment of your time 5 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,399 S1: and tell you about this month's truth tool. It's called 6 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,640 S1: secure How to Have a Healthy Attachment to God. And 7 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,360 S1: it follows that very often, whatever our relationship is like 8 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,000 S1: with authority figures, predominantly our parents, we somehow transferred to 9 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,040 S1: how we see God. So if we have an angry parent, 10 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,319 S1: he's an angry God. If it's a distant parent, he's 11 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,520 S1: a God who's not there. I think it's important we 12 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,680 S1: understand who God really is. And in this wonderful book 13 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,760 S1: called secure, you're going to discover the character of God 14 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,120 S1: and how deeply in love God is with you. It's 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,839 S1: our truth tool. Our truth tools are my way of 16 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,680 S1: saying thank you because we are listener supported radio. So 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,600 S1: if you'd like a copy of secure, just call eight 7758. 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,760 S1: That's eight 7758. Give a gift of any amount.

And my way of saying thank you 29 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,800 S1: is this you always get the truth tool for each 30 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,960 S1: and every month. And in addition to that, you get 31 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,880 S1: a weekly newsletter that includes some of my writing and 32 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,480 S1: a little audio piece just for my partial partners. So 33 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,440 S1: either way, thank you in advance for prayerfully considering the 34 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,720 S1: opportunity to financially support in the market with Janet partial 35 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,720 S1: and keeping it on the air. Now, I hope you 36 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,920 S1: hear something that will encourage you to get out and 37 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,880 S1: influence and occupy in the marketplace of ideas. 38 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,080 S2: Welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall. Today's program 39 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,480 S2: is where Janet and her husband, Craig, take some of 40 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,680 S2: the stories making headlines this week, and offer their insight 41 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,600 S2: and analysis. Before they get started, let's take a quick 42 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,760 S2: look back at some of the highlights from the week. 43 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,800 S3: If women complain at Yale, female students, female professors, administrators, 44 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,480 S3: they are instructed to find one of two single stall 45 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,400 S3: bathrooms on Yale's giant campus. Now, if that doesn't sound 46 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,079 S3: like the sex discrimination of old, I don't know what does. 47 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,239 S3: So they actually have to remove themselves from areas that 48 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,280 S3: would have been specifically designed for them, and find these 49 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,560 S3: two single stall bathrooms on campus so that if they 50 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,399 S3: feel uncomfortable, they've got to moderate their behavior. Now that, 51 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,959 S3: to me, is turning the notion of sex equality on 52 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,519 S3: its head. 53 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,000 S4: How can this happen? Because, you know, you know, you've 54 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,120 S4: got this ridiculous thing. Um, queers for Gaza, which is 55 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,520 S4: so ironic because if queers went to Gaza, they'd be 56 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,720 S4: killed in the postmodern mindset. So here's what's happening. They 57 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,570 S4: unite on this one issue that they're anti-west. Islam is anti-west. 58 00:02:59,290 --> 00:03:03,410 S4: International socialism is anti-west. So that's how they unite. Now, 59 00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:05,370 S4: of course, when they come to power, as we've seen 60 00:03:05,370 --> 00:03:10,609 S4: in various UK towns and cities, that the minute that happens, 61 00:03:10,730 --> 00:03:13,690 S4: the left either get thrown out or they have to 62 00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:17,890 S4: compromise to the extent that they adopt Islamic practices. 63 00:03:18,490 --> 00:03:21,170 S5: Since we're on the topic of unanswered prayer, I want 64 00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:23,650 S5: to say this to all the listeners, to those who 65 00:03:23,650 --> 00:03:27,530 S5: have never believed on Jesus Christ as their Savior. That's 66 00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:31,890 S5: one promise that we find over and over again in 67 00:03:31,889 --> 00:03:35,570 S5: the Bible that you can count on. And that is this, 68 00:03:35,570 --> 00:03:38,210 S5: that whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall 69 00:03:38,210 --> 00:03:42,330 S5: be saved. And as many as received him, to those 70 00:03:42,330 --> 00:03:45,330 S5: he gives the authority to become the children of God, 71 00:03:45,370 --> 00:03:48,530 S5: even to those who believe on his name. So there 72 00:03:48,570 --> 00:03:53,010 S5: are some promises that we know he always answers. 73 00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:56,250 S6: It's not. Rome has thrown some of you in prison. 74 00:03:56,250 --> 00:03:59,610 S6: Its Satan has thrown some of you in prison. Uh, 75 00:03:59,610 --> 00:04:03,330 S6: it's not um, the the angry mob hindered me from 76 00:04:03,330 --> 00:04:06,650 S6: coming back to you in Thessalonica. It's Satan hindered us. 77 00:04:06,810 --> 00:04:10,410 S6: And so that's a theme. And I think the sort 78 00:04:10,410 --> 00:04:13,250 S6: of lie of is, you know, how could a good 79 00:04:13,250 --> 00:04:17,410 S6: God let this happen to you? It's especially potent when 80 00:04:17,650 --> 00:04:20,010 S6: the thing that's happening is happening to us because of 81 00:04:20,010 --> 00:04:23,010 S6: our faith, because I came to Jesus to be saved, right? 82 00:04:23,050 --> 00:04:25,370 S6: And because I thought he could deliver me. So if 83 00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:27,650 S6: he gets me in more trouble than I was in before, 84 00:04:28,529 --> 00:04:31,049 S6: I might start thinking that I need to rethink this 85 00:04:31,050 --> 00:04:31,609 S6: whole deal. 86 00:04:33,290 --> 00:04:35,730 S2: To hear the full interviews from any of those guests 87 00:04:35,770 --> 00:04:38,970 S2: go to In the Market with Janet Parshall and click 88 00:04:38,970 --> 00:04:42,609 S2: on Past Programs. Here's some other stories making headlines this week. 89 00:04:43,250 --> 00:04:46,930 S7: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday assured fans that there 90 00:04:46,930 --> 00:04:49,170 S7: is no risk in coming to Mexico for the World 91 00:04:49,170 --> 00:04:51,570 S7: Cup when the tournament kicks off. In June. 92 00:04:51,610 --> 00:04:53,850 S8: The US said that Iran should declare that we will 93 00:04:53,850 --> 00:04:57,490 S8: not have nuclear weapons. Well, the Supreme Leader has already 94 00:04:57,490 --> 00:04:59,930 S8: said that we will not have nuclear weapons at all. 95 00:04:59,970 --> 00:05:02,890 S9: Fedex is suing the US government, seeking a full refund 96 00:05:02,890 --> 00:05:05,170 S9: on what it paid for tariffs set by President Donald 97 00:05:05,210 --> 00:05:07,650 S9: Trump last year, after the Supreme Court ruled that the 98 00:05:07,650 --> 00:05:08,810 S9: tariffs are illegal. 99 00:05:09,970 --> 00:05:12,090 S2: Janet and Craig have lots to share, and they'll put 100 00:05:12,089 --> 00:05:14,610 S2: the first story on the table when we return. To 101 00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:17,210 S2: get more information or to download the podcast of any 102 00:05:17,210 --> 00:05:20,170 S2: of the interviews, go to. In the market with Janet Parshall. 103 00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:44,570 S1: The way we related to authority figures growing up often 104 00:05:44,570 --> 00:05:46,410 S1: shapes how we relate to God. So if you grew 105 00:05:46,410 --> 00:05:49,090 S1: up with a critical or disengaged parent, you might think 106 00:05:49,089 --> 00:05:51,450 S1: God is demanding or distant. And that's why I've chosen 107 00:05:51,610 --> 00:05:54,089 S1: secure how to have a healthy attachment to God as 108 00:05:54,089 --> 00:05:56,810 S1: this month's truth tool. Learn to know the true character 109 00:05:56,810 --> 00:05:59,250 S1: of our Heavenly Father.

That's 877858 or go to in 112 00:06:05,690 --> 00:06:10,330 S1: the market with Janet Parshall. Happy Friday to you friends. 113 00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:12,489 S1: Thanks so much for joining us on this hour's edition 114 00:06:12,490 --> 00:06:15,210 S1: of In the Market with Janet Partial. Craig partial is 115 00:06:15,210 --> 00:06:17,610 S1: with me. And on Fridays we take out our glasses, 116 00:06:17,650 --> 00:06:19,609 S1: put them on there, the lens of scripture. Take a 117 00:06:19,610 --> 00:06:21,650 S1: look at what's being bought and sold in the marketplace 118 00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:25,330 S1: of ideas. And we learn to discern truth from falsehoods, 119 00:06:25,330 --> 00:06:29,130 S1: light from darkness, truths from lies. And we do that 120 00:06:29,130 --> 00:06:31,529 S1: by examining what's out there. And now we need a 121 00:06:31,529 --> 00:06:33,290 S1: plumb line, right? We have to figure out we can't 122 00:06:33,290 --> 00:06:35,450 S1: make up ourselves. Well, this is my truth. Well, Craig 123 00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:38,370 S1: has his truth. I have my truth. So what's right 124 00:06:38,370 --> 00:06:40,490 S1: and what's wrong in the marketplace? If everybody has their 125 00:06:40,490 --> 00:06:44,610 S1: own truth, that's the blessing of truth. It's knowable, it's objective, 126 00:06:44,610 --> 00:06:47,330 S1: it's transcendent, and it applies to all people and all 127 00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:49,650 S1: times and all places. And it comes from the one 128 00:06:49,650 --> 00:06:52,900 S1: who calls himself among many names, truth. I am the way, 129 00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:55,220 S1: the truth, and the life. And no one comes to 130 00:06:55,220 --> 00:06:57,140 S1: the father but by me. So we take out his 131 00:06:57,140 --> 00:06:58,659 S1: word and we take a look at what's being bought 132 00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:01,140 S1: and sold in the marketplace. And in so doing, we're 133 00:07:01,140 --> 00:07:03,099 S1: growing up in him because we're having to get into 134 00:07:03,140 --> 00:07:06,539 S1: his word. Number one. Number two, we're practicing discernment. Number three, 135 00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:09,900 S1: it's applied Christianity, the truth of the gospel being applied 136 00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:11,740 S1: to everything in the world around us. So with that 137 00:07:11,740 --> 00:07:14,820 S1: as the backdrop. I want us to take a look. Now, 138 00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:16,740 S1: maybe you listen. Maybe you didn't. Craig and I will 139 00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:18,460 S1: always listen to the state of the Union, regardless of 140 00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:21,900 S1: who's the president of the United States, because we're Americans. 141 00:07:21,940 --> 00:07:25,660 S1: It's a temporary citizenship. My eternal citizenship is in heaven. 142 00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:27,820 S1: But right now, I'm to seek the welfare of the city. 143 00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:29,380 S1: Can't do that very well if I don't know what 144 00:07:29,380 --> 00:07:31,260 S1: the problems are in the city in the first place. 145 00:07:31,420 --> 00:07:34,060 S1: So under a constitutional directive, the president of the United 146 00:07:34,060 --> 00:07:36,980 S1: States is to give a state of the well-being of 147 00:07:36,980 --> 00:07:40,540 S1: the Union. And in just about every recordable state of 148 00:07:40,540 --> 00:07:42,580 S1: the Union that we've got in the annals of American 149 00:07:42,580 --> 00:07:46,100 S1: history right now, you will hear a president declare, ladies 150 00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:48,260 S1: and gentlemen, I will report to you that the state 151 00:07:48,260 --> 00:07:51,580 S1: of the Union is good or strong or something like that. 152 00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:54,580 S1: Got those words? Everybody applauds and then you're very thankful. 153 00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:56,460 S1: And then what should be added is comma by the 154 00:07:56,460 --> 00:07:59,540 S1: grace of God. But we don't hear that. Now during 155 00:07:59,540 --> 00:08:02,700 S1: the state of the Union, the president, usually pro forma, 156 00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:04,660 S1: will lay out his agenda for what he wants to 157 00:08:04,660 --> 00:08:07,540 S1: see as legislation for the coming year. And he'll talk 158 00:08:07,540 --> 00:08:09,380 S1: about some of the accomplishments that I don't care if 159 00:08:09,380 --> 00:08:11,420 S1: there's an R or a D or an XYZ after 160 00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:14,140 S1: your name. That's what happens when the president assumes that 161 00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:16,820 S1: speaker's position in the chambers, which, by the way, if 162 00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:18,940 S1: you haven't ever been there, it's a real small room. 163 00:08:18,940 --> 00:08:20,780 S1: Craig and I have been there, and we're always dwarfed 164 00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:22,300 S1: when you walk in that room because it looks so 165 00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,940 S1: monstrous when it's on TV. It's not that big a 166 00:08:24,940 --> 00:08:27,180 S1: room at all. And then they have a gallery over 167 00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:29,140 S1: the top. And what I find interesting, because I just 168 00:08:29,140 --> 00:08:32,020 S1: love people's stories, is there are people who are sitting 169 00:08:32,020 --> 00:08:34,340 S1: in the gallery and everyone has a story in their 170 00:08:34,340 --> 00:08:36,980 S1: special guests. Some of them get identified by the president 171 00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:39,260 S1: when he's giving his address. Others, you just have to 172 00:08:39,260 --> 00:08:40,980 S1: know I have a list of the speaker's guests. By 173 00:08:40,980 --> 00:08:43,179 S1: the way, one of the people he invited, by the way, 174 00:08:43,179 --> 00:08:46,100 S1: was a Chinese dissident, which I thought was precious. And 175 00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:48,220 S1: that didn't get any press whatsoever, but you had to 176 00:08:48,260 --> 00:08:50,220 S1: have seen the list of the guests invited by the 177 00:08:50,220 --> 00:08:52,460 S1: speaker to know that he was there. But one person 178 00:08:52,460 --> 00:08:56,579 S1: who did get called out was an individual who, uh, 179 00:08:56,580 --> 00:08:58,700 S1: was part was mentioned by the state of the Union 180 00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:01,579 S1: address when the president got to the part about where 181 00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:05,140 S1: his vision is for these mutilating surgeries. He was bold, 182 00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:09,660 S1: he was unapologetic, and he told the story of this woman. 183 00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:11,940 S1: I've got lots of the background. The president only had 184 00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:14,700 S1: about two minutes to kind of address who she is. 185 00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:16,380 S1: But I want you to get a little bit of 186 00:09:16,380 --> 00:09:18,579 S1: Sage Blair's story from the state of the Union. Have 187 00:09:18,580 --> 00:09:19,059 S1: a listen. 188 00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:23,859 S10: Here is one more opportunity to show common sense in government. 189 00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:29,100 S10: In the gallery tonight are Sage Blair and her mother, Michelle. 190 00:09:29,980 --> 00:09:34,140 S10: In 2021. Sage was 14 when school officials in Virginia 191 00:09:34,179 --> 00:09:39,900 S10: sought to socially transition her to a new gender, treating 192 00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:43,700 S10: her as a boy and hiding it from her parents. 193 00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:47,900 S10: Hard to believe, isn't it? Before long, a confused sage 194 00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:52,020 S10: ran away from home after she was found in a 195 00:09:52,059 --> 00:09:56,939 S10: horrific situation in Maryland. A left wing judge refused to 196 00:09:56,940 --> 00:10:01,180 S10: return sage to her parents because they did not immediately 197 00:10:01,179 --> 00:10:06,339 S10: state that their daughter was their son. Sage was thrown 198 00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:10,460 S10: into an all boys state home and suffered terribly for 199 00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:13,860 S10: a long time. But today, all of that is behind 200 00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:16,980 S10: them because sage is a proud and wonderful young woman 201 00:10:16,980 --> 00:10:23,660 S10: with a full ride scholarship to Liberty University. Sage and Rochelle, 202 00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:39,100 S10: please stand up. And thank you for your great bravery. 203 00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:41,620 S10: And who can believe that we're even speaking about things 204 00:10:41,620 --> 00:10:44,990 S10: like this? 15 years ago, if somebody was up here 205 00:10:44,990 --> 00:10:49,189 S10: and said that, they'd say, what's wrong with him? But 206 00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:51,390 S10: now we have to say it because it's going on 207 00:10:51,390 --> 00:10:56,230 S10: all over numerous states without even telling the parents. But 208 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:58,870 S10: surely we can all agree no state can be allowed 209 00:10:58,870 --> 00:11:02,870 S10: to rip children from their parents arms and transition them 210 00:11:03,150 --> 00:11:05,829 S10: to a new gender against the parents will. Who would 211 00:11:05,870 --> 00:11:09,590 S10: believe that? We've been talking about we must ban it 212 00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:11,990 S10: and we must ban it immediately. 213 00:11:14,270 --> 00:11:16,190 S1: Well, he's absolutely right. I mean, it's the upside down 214 00:11:16,190 --> 00:11:18,350 S1: world that we're even having these kinds of conversations. But 215 00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:20,830 S1: I got to tell you, Sage's story is unbelievable. The 216 00:11:20,830 --> 00:11:23,470 S1: president gave you a little bit of that. So she 217 00:11:23,470 --> 00:11:27,110 S1: ran away from Virginia. She endured a six month nightmare 218 00:11:27,429 --> 00:11:30,390 S1: that saw her twice fall into the hands of sex traffickers, 219 00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:33,709 S1: the second time after Baltimore bureaucrats refused to return her 220 00:11:33,830 --> 00:11:36,190 S1: to her home state because they had accused her adoptive 221 00:11:36,190 --> 00:11:40,469 S1: parents of, quote, misgendering her. So the child, identified in 222 00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:43,910 S1: legal documents as sage, was adopted by her biological grandmother, 223 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:47,590 S1: Michelle Blair. After the death of her father, long troubled 224 00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:50,910 S1: sage began identifying as a male named Draco and ran 225 00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:53,470 S1: away from her rural home in late August of 2021, 226 00:11:53,470 --> 00:11:55,589 S1: only to end up in the mean streets of Baltimore, 227 00:11:55,830 --> 00:11:59,510 S1: where authorities rescued her from a convicted sex offender. But 228 00:11:59,550 --> 00:12:03,069 S1: instead of returning the child to her grandmother, Marilyn, officials 229 00:12:03,070 --> 00:12:05,430 S1: decided to put her in an inner city group home. 230 00:12:05,470 --> 00:12:08,870 S1: The reason? They thought her adoptive blood relative parents didn't 231 00:12:08,870 --> 00:12:12,870 S1: seem to sufficiently recognize her transgender identity. That's the power 232 00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:15,589 S1: of the state, and that's scary. So the judge and 233 00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:18,270 S1: I will say the judge's name, Robert Kershaw, wrote in 234 00:12:18,270 --> 00:12:21,270 S1: September 3rd, 2021. It is not possible to return the 235 00:12:21,270 --> 00:12:24,950 S1: child to that home. And so instead, the judge turns 236 00:12:24,950 --> 00:12:27,590 S1: her over to the Baltimore City Department of Juvenile Services. 237 00:12:27,630 --> 00:12:31,590 S1: Quote for placement. Listen to this in a hardware secure 238 00:12:31,630 --> 00:12:36,030 S1: therapeutic facility, which makes reasonable accommodation for respondents, expressed male 239 00:12:36,030 --> 00:12:39,550 S1: gender and desire to live as a trans male. That 240 00:12:39,550 --> 00:12:43,070 S1: meant that she was housed after being rescued from a 241 00:12:43,070 --> 00:12:47,750 S1: sex offender with some of Baltimore's most troubled biological males. 242 00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:50,990 S1: So after months in this institution, she bolted. She shows 243 00:12:50,990 --> 00:12:54,030 S1: up again in Texas, where she was once again being 244 00:12:54,070 --> 00:12:57,189 S1: alleged to be trafficked to pedophiles, according to records. I 245 00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:59,230 S1: don't know how sage has it all together at all, 246 00:12:59,230 --> 00:13:02,710 S1: only for the saving power of Christ. Unlike her counterparts 247 00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:07,390 S1: in Maryland, Texas officials returned her to her parents. Uh, 248 00:13:07,390 --> 00:13:10,950 S1: and that was a blessing. Uh, and apparently they told 249 00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:14,470 S1: the girl to lie about being abused by her parents, 250 00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:17,750 S1: seemingly in order to create a legal precedent allowing states 251 00:13:17,790 --> 00:13:20,510 S1: other than where a teen lives to refuse to return 252 00:13:20,510 --> 00:13:24,790 S1: a runaway teen if transgender issues are at play. So suddenly, 253 00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:27,230 S1: she becomes this subject of an interstate tug of war 254 00:13:27,270 --> 00:13:31,550 S1: driven by ideology. Um, and she got very used to 255 00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:35,310 S1: seeing evil men using her to profit themselves or to 256 00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:39,950 S1: gratify themselves. The grandmother recounted how police were very cruel 257 00:13:40,630 --> 00:13:43,270 S1: and they weren't seeking the best interests of the daughter 258 00:13:43,270 --> 00:13:46,870 S1: at all. In fact, apparently, Blair said, I went to 259 00:13:46,910 --> 00:13:49,750 S1: wake up my daughter. This was the grandmother describing the 260 00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:52,950 S1: morning of August 25th, 2021. She was gone and the 261 00:13:52,950 --> 00:13:55,510 S1: window screen had been cut open immediately, looked everywhere, then 262 00:13:55,510 --> 00:13:59,390 S1: drove to the Appomattox sheriff to report Sage's missing. Sage 263 00:13:59,390 --> 00:14:02,230 S1: would later reveal that she sneaked out to meet someone 264 00:14:02,230 --> 00:14:04,949 S1: she thought was a 16 year old boy who liked skateboarding, 265 00:14:04,950 --> 00:14:09,910 S1: but the person was a sex offender who had been 266 00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:13,030 S1: grooming her online and took her to Washington and then 267 00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:16,350 S1: to Baltimore. A frantic search that included the sheriff's office, 268 00:14:16,350 --> 00:14:19,030 S1: the FBI, the Virginia State Police and the US marshals 269 00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:21,990 S1: ended a week later. Sage was found in Baltimore with 270 00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:25,630 S1: a 36 year old convicted sex offender, and the week 271 00:14:25,630 --> 00:14:30,270 S1: she had been missing, she experienced untold tears at their hands. Now, 272 00:14:30,630 --> 00:14:35,190 S1: bottom line is the detransitioning stopped, and now there has 273 00:14:35,190 --> 00:14:38,360 S1: to be this amazing story that I think someday sage 274 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,800 S1: will tell. But she's ended up at Liberty University. Liberty 275 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,840 S1: University is a Christian college. Somewhere along the way, this 276 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,880 S1: very troubled girl found Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. 277 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,720 S1: And she's off to liberty. Go flames! And she gets 278 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,240 S1: a full ride. Um, and if you saw the state 279 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,480 S1: of the Union and you saw her. She's a beautiful 280 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,320 S1: young woman, and you would never know. The poet said 281 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,640 S1: there is no art to tell the mind's construction by 282 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,760 S1: the face. Her face doesn't show the fact that she 283 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,480 S1: is older than her years, that she has gone through 284 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,040 S1: some unbelievably horrific experiences. And maybe someday the Lord will 285 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,240 S1: stir up in her heart a desire to tell her story, 286 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,880 S1: to tell every person out there who ever has felt 287 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,320 S1: like a throwaway, that they've been put on the ash 288 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,600 S1: heap of humanity, that they are unredeemable. If you can 289 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,720 S1: go through what sage went through. She was more than 290 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,880 S1: a person at a state of the Union address. She 291 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,000 S1: was a declaration of the power of the Gospel of 292 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,440 S1: Jesus Christ that if she can be put on the 293 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,440 S1: ash heap of history and be redeemed, so can you. 294 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,640 S1: Unbelievably powerful. Craig, your thoughts. 295 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,240 S11: This kind of trauma is almost unimaginable. Uh, that was 296 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,160 S11: work that was meted out to this poor young lady. Um, 297 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,600 S11: because the state decided it was the parent and that 298 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,680 S11: the parents were to be ignored. Um, you know, for 299 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,760 S11: hundreds of years, the law has had a common sensical 300 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:05,640 S11: approach to family matters. That common sense approach, which, by 301 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,120 S11: the way, also happens to be very biblical, is that 302 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:16,040 S11: the first and best, uh, Department of Health, welfare and 303 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:21,320 S11: education for a child is the parent, and only in 304 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,520 S11: rare cases of neglect and abuse is that to be 305 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,120 S11: interfered with by the state. Abuse and neglect should never 306 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:36,560 S11: be defined as radical ideology That you don't accept as 307 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,960 S11: a parent. This radical, um, ideological approach to gender dysphoria, 308 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,720 S11: which is a problem. But the way in which it's 309 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,440 S11: turned into an ideology, uh, has worked so much havoc 310 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,680 S11: in terms of family rights. And so courts and legislators 311 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,040 S11: say the state knows better than a Christian family about 312 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,640 S11: how to define, quote, gender. It doesn't. Neglect and abuse 313 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,280 S11: should not be defined as disagreeing with the new radical 314 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,040 S11: theory that the state happens to adopt. 315 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,520 S1: Excellent point, excellent point. So in a nutshell, this is 316 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,480 S1: Sage Blair story. Marilyn refused to give her back to 317 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,520 S1: her parents. Why? Because Marilyn said her parents, quote, misgendered her. 318 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,280 S1: And as a result of that, unconscionable. And boy, do 319 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,560 S1: I hope there's litigation that's going to be filed. She 320 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,320 S1: was then sex trafficked as a result of this. Now 321 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,600 S1: there's more. This is not an isolated case. This is 322 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,239 S1: a pattern we're seeing. And I'm going to give you 323 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:53,560 S1: some evidence to that end right after this. So I 324 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,600 S1: said before that this horrific story, and I'm so glad 325 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,320 S1: that America was exposed to this because a the president 326 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,760 S1: was right. It's ridiculous. We're even having these kinds of conversations. 327 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,320 S1: But yet you've got states and school districts that are 328 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,080 S1: just doing what's right in their own eyes. I mean, 329 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,720 S1: you talk about a biblical admonition here. They don't care 330 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,800 S1: what's common sense. They don't care what's good medicine. You 331 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,440 S1: understand now that the American Association of Plastic Surgeons has 332 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,800 S1: come out and said, no way, we were wrong. We're 333 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,240 S1: not ever doing this again. On minors, you've got an 334 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,359 S1: ever growing list of hospitals that were performing these mutilation 335 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,159 S1: surgeries that have now said, no, we're not going to 336 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,200 S1: do it. And I think there are two reasons. Number one, 337 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,040 S1: for some people, common sense has finally broken through. This 338 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,570 S1: is ridiculous. They're minors. Okay. Their frontal lobe isn't even 339 00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:37,370 S1: fully developed until they're 24 years old. The humidity, the autism, 340 00:18:37,369 --> 00:18:39,970 S1: the early onset bipolar abuse at home, all of those 341 00:18:39,970 --> 00:18:42,290 S1: things that make a person go, oh no, I must 342 00:18:42,290 --> 00:18:44,810 S1: be trapped in the wrong body. Those are the outcomes 343 00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:47,850 S1: of very often yet to be diagnosed, mental health issues 344 00:18:47,850 --> 00:18:52,610 S1: that are the undergirding. So greater minds, more seasoned thinking. 345 00:18:52,609 --> 00:18:55,650 S1: People are saying give it some time. And overwhelmingly, the 346 00:18:55,650 --> 00:18:58,770 S1: statistics tell us now that minors outgrow this and that 347 00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:01,770 S1: not only does it not eradicate suicidal ideations, which was 348 00:19:01,770 --> 00:19:04,930 S1: the bludgeoning tool that these ideologues were using to say, 349 00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:06,970 S1: what do you want, a dead son or a live daughter? 350 00:19:07,010 --> 00:19:09,010 S1: Now we know that not only does it not mitigate 351 00:19:09,010 --> 00:19:11,570 S1: the ideations, but now we have an uptick in suicidal 352 00:19:11,570 --> 00:19:15,129 S1: ideation after the surgery, which makes sense. You have a 353 00:19:15,130 --> 00:19:17,450 S1: broken heart. You have a broken mind. How does mutilating 354 00:19:17,450 --> 00:19:19,490 S1: your body and taking drugs going to take that away? 355 00:19:19,490 --> 00:19:22,250 S1: It's not. It's going to exacerbate the problem. Now the 356 00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:25,970 S1: problem is you've got these these independent operators, whether they're 357 00:19:25,970 --> 00:19:28,970 S1: school districts or states like California and Maryland, who are 358 00:19:28,970 --> 00:19:31,210 S1: basically saying, we don't care, we know what's best for 359 00:19:31,210 --> 00:19:33,290 S1: the child, and we are going to brand that child 360 00:19:33,290 --> 00:19:36,090 S1: with that ideology, whether you agree or not. I wish 361 00:19:36,090 --> 00:19:38,530 S1: I could tell you this was a United States problem alone. 362 00:19:38,530 --> 00:19:40,889 S1: It's not. I take you to Iceland. I have a 363 00:19:40,890 --> 00:19:43,970 S1: very soft spot in Iceland. My granny came from Iceland. 364 00:19:44,010 --> 00:19:47,370 S1: I have Icelandic blood. There's only 550,000 people on the island, 365 00:19:47,570 --> 00:19:50,490 S1: and they all pretty much know each other. But in Iceland, 366 00:19:50,530 --> 00:19:53,010 S1: this is the exact same problem. I want you to 367 00:19:53,010 --> 00:19:56,609 S1: hear the story of a man whose name is Alexander Rocha, 368 00:19:56,850 --> 00:20:00,450 S1: a father from Iceland and his ten year old son. Listen. 369 00:20:01,410 --> 00:20:05,090 S12: My name is Alexander, a father living in Iceland, Reykjavik. 370 00:20:06,130 --> 00:20:13,010 S12: And last December, by the decision of the court, my 371 00:20:13,010 --> 00:20:17,930 S12: son was taken away from me. The reason? Because I 372 00:20:17,930 --> 00:20:21,610 S12: did not want to allow my son to undergo a 373 00:20:21,609 --> 00:20:27,450 S12: gender transition and identify as a girl at the age 374 00:20:27,450 --> 00:20:31,610 S12: of ten. As a father, I do not want to 375 00:20:31,609 --> 00:20:36,050 S12: see happen to my child who was already diagnosed on 376 00:20:36,090 --> 00:20:41,490 S12: the autism spectrum. I believe that my child should not 377 00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:47,930 S12: be exposed to life altering procedures such as puberty blockers 378 00:20:47,930 --> 00:20:55,570 S12: or hormone therapy. These things will alter drastically his body 379 00:20:55,770 --> 00:20:59,050 S12: but also his mind. I have not been able to 380 00:20:59,090 --> 00:21:03,890 S12: see my son in mouse and my family is absolutely devastated. 381 00:21:04,690 --> 00:21:09,689 S12: As you can imagine, because of this, I'm not able 382 00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:14,890 S12: to be the parent that I know I am. Today 383 00:21:15,090 --> 00:21:18,450 S12: I'm fighting to appeal this court decision and win back 384 00:21:18,450 --> 00:21:24,650 S12: my child. No parent should go through this. Children deserve 385 00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:31,010 S12: to live free from radical gender ideology, which pressure them 386 00:21:31,010 --> 00:21:36,210 S12: to make life decisions they don't even understand yet. Thank 387 00:21:36,210 --> 00:21:39,450 S12: you for listening to my story. And bless you. 388 00:21:40,570 --> 00:21:42,929 S1: Pray for that man, even if you don't remember his name. 389 00:21:42,930 --> 00:21:46,010 S1: So now this dad is fighting the appeal. He's trying 390 00:21:46,010 --> 00:21:48,689 S1: desperately to reverse this decision. But I'll tell you what. 391 00:21:48,690 --> 00:21:50,370 S1: Let me go back to something I said before. Does 392 00:21:50,369 --> 00:21:52,850 S1: this not undergird what I said before? That truth applies 393 00:21:52,850 --> 00:21:54,970 S1: to all people in all times and all places. Here's 394 00:21:54,970 --> 00:21:56,729 S1: this dad in Iceland. He's the father of a ten 395 00:21:56,770 --> 00:21:59,450 S1: year old boy. He calls it the ideology. He doesn't 396 00:21:59,450 --> 00:22:01,689 S1: want his ten year old turned into a girl. He 397 00:22:01,690 --> 00:22:04,090 S1: doesn't want his child taking away from him. He has 398 00:22:04,090 --> 00:22:06,010 S1: nothing to do with the United States Congress or what 399 00:22:06,010 --> 00:22:08,130 S1: the president said at the state of the Union. It's 400 00:22:08,130 --> 00:22:12,129 S1: a transcendent truth. Boys are born boys, girls are born girls. 401 00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:14,889 S1: And no ideology in the world can change that. If 402 00:22:14,890 --> 00:22:16,530 S1: you don't believe me, give me a cotton swab. Let 403 00:22:16,530 --> 00:22:18,570 S1: me swipe the inside of your cheek. Boom! You're going 404 00:22:18,609 --> 00:22:21,609 S1: to be xx. You're going to be XY, period. Regardless 405 00:22:21,609 --> 00:22:24,730 S1: of whatever outer external costuming you might have. Craig, your 406 00:22:24,730 --> 00:22:25,570 S1: thoughts on this, dad? 407 00:22:25,609 --> 00:22:27,060 S13: Yeah. Here's the bitter. 408 00:22:27,060 --> 00:22:30,300 S11: Irony in this. In the year 1000, the King of 409 00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:34,020 S11: Iceland declared to the nation, we are all Christians. 410 00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:34,700 S1: Exactly. 411 00:22:34,740 --> 00:22:40,420 S11: And now, 1026 years later, you have a Christian man 412 00:22:40,420 --> 00:22:43,540 S11: who takes his faith seriously and says, look, I don't 413 00:22:43,540 --> 00:22:47,140 S11: believe in this gender ideology. I believe in the God 414 00:22:47,140 --> 00:22:50,899 S11: who created them, male and female. From Genesis on into 415 00:22:50,900 --> 00:22:55,860 S11: the Gospels, that truth is reiterated several times. Um, but 416 00:22:55,859 --> 00:23:00,260 S11: for his Christian belief, his biblically grounded Christian belief, he 417 00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:04,379 S11: is now lost his child. He's embroiled in litigation. I 418 00:23:04,380 --> 00:23:07,020 S11: would ask that everybody pray for that. You know, the 419 00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:12,580 S11: court systems are something that are necessary because in God's economy, uh, 420 00:23:12,820 --> 00:23:14,979 S11: considering the fact that the human race is a fallen 421 00:23:14,980 --> 00:23:20,220 S11: race until we have his kingdom established, he understands God 422 00:23:20,220 --> 00:23:24,020 S11: does that. We need the rule of law. We need courts. 423 00:23:24,020 --> 00:23:27,580 S11: We need government. We need laws to restrain evil and 424 00:23:27,580 --> 00:23:31,180 S11: promote good. So let's pray that the right decision is made, 425 00:23:31,380 --> 00:23:34,179 S11: regardless of the personal beliefs of those judges in that 426 00:23:34,180 --> 00:23:34,780 S11: court system. 427 00:23:34,820 --> 00:23:38,900 S1: Don't you find it interesting? Iceland. Okay, there's zero intersection 428 00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:42,820 S1: generally with the United States and jurisprudence coming out of Iceland. 429 00:23:42,859 --> 00:23:44,620 S11: Same challenges, though, to the challenge. 430 00:23:44,660 --> 00:23:47,659 S1: But does that not underscore that our enemy is still prowling, 431 00:23:47,660 --> 00:23:50,220 S1: seeking whom he may devour? And he's not bound by 432 00:23:50,220 --> 00:23:52,899 S1: geographical boundaries by any stretch of the imagination, but the 433 00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:55,900 S1: same transcendent truth that this dad saying, I don't want 434 00:23:55,900 --> 00:23:59,620 S1: my child to be sucked into the vortex of this ideology, 435 00:23:59,780 --> 00:24:01,939 S1: is the same thing that we're seeing here in the 436 00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:04,580 S1: United States of America. But it also tells you, Craig, 437 00:24:04,580 --> 00:24:07,780 S1: and here's the flip side of this of evil, the 438 00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:11,580 S1: growing power of the state to be able to superimpose 439 00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:15,740 S1: its will upon the individual. That's problematic now. I took 440 00:24:15,740 --> 00:24:18,659 S1: you from Maryland and Virginia over to Iceland. When we 441 00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:21,220 S1: come back, we're going to go to California. The same 442 00:24:21,220 --> 00:24:23,780 S1: problem exists. But again, this isn't to scare you, but 443 00:24:23,780 --> 00:24:26,340 S1: oh boy, oh boy oh boy, is it a reminder. 444 00:24:26,340 --> 00:24:28,619 S1: Come on, mom and dad, wake up. Don't let somebody 445 00:24:28,619 --> 00:24:32,780 S1: else take over your job. You can't be an absentee parent. Watch, communicate, 446 00:24:32,780 --> 00:24:35,660 S1: check the screen time. See who their friends are. Be 447 00:24:36,060 --> 00:24:39,540 S1: one on the wall fighting for your family back after this. 448 00:24:56,700 --> 00:24:59,220 S1: Let me give a big shout out to our partial partners. 449 00:24:59,220 --> 00:25:02,340 S1: Thank you.

I want to remind you that midnight tomorrow, 457 00:25:26,140 --> 00:25:28,540 S1: we are putting away our truth tool, and then we 458 00:25:28,540 --> 00:25:31,100 S1: start a brand new one on Sunday, the 1st of March. 459 00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:32,699 S1: Hard to believe we're almost there. Will it come in 460 00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:36,020 S1: like a lion or like a lamb? Only the Lord knows. 461 00:25:36,260 --> 00:25:38,980 S1: So if you don't have your copy of secure and 462 00:25:38,980 --> 00:25:41,020 S1: the subtitle says it all How to Have a Healthy 463 00:25:41,020 --> 00:25:42,739 S1: Attachment to God. I want to encourage you to get 464 00:25:42,740 --> 00:25:45,300 S1: your copy right now. I've said it all month long. 465 00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:48,659 S1: So often our relationship with our parents, particularly our dads, 466 00:25:48,660 --> 00:25:51,460 S1: get superimposed on our concept of God. So if he's 467 00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:55,060 S1: a dictating God, a dictating dad, then he's a dictating God. 468 00:25:55,060 --> 00:25:57,580 S1: If he's an absentee dad, he's an absent God. If 469 00:25:57,580 --> 00:25:59,460 S1: he's a loving and affirming father, he's a loving and 470 00:25:59,460 --> 00:26:02,980 S1: affirmed God. Well, all of that is situational, okay? That 471 00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:05,300 S1: the character of God never changes. He loves us, and 472 00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:07,340 S1: nothing can separate us from the love of God. But 473 00:26:07,340 --> 00:26:10,220 S1: we want to feel secure in God's love for us. 474 00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:12,420 S1: And so Kent has written this marvelous book that just 475 00:26:12,420 --> 00:26:14,460 S1: reminds you how much God loves you.

So I want to point that out to you. 501 00:27:20,030 --> 00:27:23,870 S1: All right. We were talking to you about, uh, this, 502 00:27:23,869 --> 00:27:27,310 S1: this trans ideology, and it's deadly and it's dangerous. And 503 00:27:27,310 --> 00:27:29,190 S1: by the way, am I the only one who's noticing 504 00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:31,669 S1: how many murders or attempted murders are done by people 505 00:27:31,670 --> 00:27:35,429 S1: who are identifying as transgender? So that doesn't surprise me 506 00:27:35,430 --> 00:27:38,190 S1: from a mental health vantage point, because if you take 507 00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:40,270 S1: someone who's already got some mental health issues and they're 508 00:27:40,270 --> 00:27:43,390 S1: struggling with either a mind that's on fire from bipolar 509 00:27:43,510 --> 00:27:47,189 S1: or early onset schizophrenia or autism or abuse in the background, 510 00:27:47,190 --> 00:27:50,110 S1: and then you just pump them full of hormones. Oh, 511 00:27:50,150 --> 00:27:53,310 S1: that's like gasoline on a farm in the first place. 512 00:27:53,310 --> 00:27:56,149 S11: That's exactly contrary to their birth sex. 513 00:27:56,190 --> 00:27:58,350 S1: That's an excellent point. And then then you wonder why 514 00:27:58,350 --> 00:28:00,630 S1: you have all of these people who literally snap, like 515 00:28:00,630 --> 00:28:02,669 S1: the man who just killed his family. I mean, it's 516 00:28:02,670 --> 00:28:05,510 S1: just stunning stuff. So. But closer to home. And not 517 00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:07,350 S1: every trans does that. By the way. Don't mishear me 518 00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:08,990 S1: on that. But I'm just telling you, there's enough now 519 00:28:08,990 --> 00:28:11,350 S1: that if you're a social scientist, this has to be 520 00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:14,230 S1: catching your attention because it is a disproportionate and an 521 00:28:14,230 --> 00:28:17,550 S1: inordinate amount of these kinds of shootings and murders that 522 00:28:17,550 --> 00:28:19,830 S1: are taking place by people who are struggling in this issue. 523 00:28:20,070 --> 00:28:22,949 S1: So then we've got, again, these runaway states who decided 524 00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:24,790 S1: that they're going to do what's right in their own eyes. 525 00:28:24,830 --> 00:28:27,070 S1: So we talked about Maryland and Virginia and Iceland, and 526 00:28:27,070 --> 00:28:29,030 S1: I'm going to take you to California. I want you 527 00:28:29,030 --> 00:28:31,550 S1: to hear the story of a California mom and what 528 00:28:31,550 --> 00:28:32,790 S1: happened to her. Have a listen. 529 00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:37,710 S14: Goes back to, uh, when I found out that my daughter, 530 00:28:38,110 --> 00:28:42,550 S14: who was 13 years old, just starting high school, was 531 00:28:42,550 --> 00:28:47,030 S14: secretly socially transitioned at school. Meaning that the school started 532 00:28:47,030 --> 00:28:50,510 S14: to call my daughter by a male name. Use male pronouns. 533 00:28:51,110 --> 00:28:54,150 S14: And when I called the school and told them to 534 00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:59,870 S14: stop that next week, Child Protective Services was at my door. 535 00:29:01,030 --> 00:29:05,910 S14: The next day the police. And that was an immediate 536 00:29:06,110 --> 00:29:13,390 S14: alert to me that the school wants to know better 537 00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:16,670 S14: than wants to parent my child, and that if I 538 00:29:16,670 --> 00:29:22,310 S14: didn't follow and call my daughter a boy, that Child 539 00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:27,670 S14: Protective Services may come and take my child away. And 540 00:29:27,670 --> 00:29:33,710 S14: at the time, I didn't really know how dangerous the 541 00:29:33,710 --> 00:29:40,190 S14: situation was. I later learned that parents in Southern California 542 00:29:40,190 --> 00:29:44,790 S14: had lost custody of their children because she wouldn't transition 543 00:29:44,790 --> 00:29:47,510 S14: her daughter. She wouldn't call her daughter a male. And 544 00:29:47,510 --> 00:29:51,910 S14: CPS took her child. So now I knew that I 545 00:29:51,910 --> 00:29:54,790 S14: already had a black mark. And a few months later, 546 00:29:54,790 --> 00:29:57,750 S14: my daughter ran away. And the normal thing for a 547 00:29:57,750 --> 00:30:00,510 S14: parent to do is to ask law enforcement to help 548 00:30:00,510 --> 00:30:05,670 S14: find your child. She's 13, female, alone at night. It's 549 00:30:05,670 --> 00:30:08,630 S14: 2:00 in the morning, 3:00 in the morning. And I 550 00:30:08,670 --> 00:30:13,390 S14: can't make that phone call because I know that there's 551 00:30:13,390 --> 00:30:16,870 S14: already a file opened up on me, and that Child 552 00:30:16,870 --> 00:30:19,990 S14: Protective Services can swoop in anytime and take my child. 553 00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:23,670 S15: So many things going through my head at this moment. 554 00:30:23,710 --> 00:30:26,430 S15: It's a kind of blackmail. Like, how do you describe 555 00:30:26,430 --> 00:30:32,110 S15: this scenario that, you know, if you don't basically follow 556 00:30:32,150 --> 00:30:35,430 S15: what these people are demanding of you, you might lose 557 00:30:35,430 --> 00:30:36,310 S15: your child? 558 00:30:36,990 --> 00:30:41,709 S14: Well, it's coercion at its highest level. It's telling a 559 00:30:41,710 --> 00:30:46,710 S14: parent that you either need to transition your child or 560 00:30:46,710 --> 00:30:50,590 S14: you don't get to keep your child. It's forcing a 561 00:30:50,590 --> 00:30:56,230 S14: parent to socially transition their child and later medicalize their 562 00:30:56,230 --> 00:31:03,390 S14: child puts them in a position of. The worst position 563 00:31:03,390 --> 00:31:06,270 S14: a parent could be in is knowing that the government 564 00:31:06,270 --> 00:31:10,030 S14: is coming after you. Because you believe in biological sex. 565 00:31:10,390 --> 00:31:13,200 S14: You want to raise your daughter as a daughter that, 566 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,360 S14: you know, you birthed, that you know, no human has 567 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:22,280 S14: ever changed sex. And you have the government telling you, no, 568 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,479 S14: you're abusive. You don't get to parent your child. The 569 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,320 S14: government knows better. This is America. This is insane. 570 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,280 S1: Every parent's nightmare. I cannot imagine anything more horrific than 571 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,800 S1: what this woman is going through. So again, again, for believers, 572 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,800 S1: the first thought that we have is this is so 573 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,040 S1: evident of the fact that we are in a sin sick, 574 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,840 S1: fallen world, that good is called evil. Evil is called good, 575 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,280 S1: and people and governments can often do what's right in 576 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,280 S1: their own eyes. And the enemy is still prowling, seeking 577 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,520 S1: whom he may devour. That Satan is real, that evil 578 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,200 S1: is real. And now, instead of the state working to 579 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,360 S1: protect you, to to protect the cornerstone institution of culture, 580 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,320 S1: Alexis de Tocqueville comes to this country in the 1800s, 581 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,400 S1: and he observes what makes America different, what's the strength 582 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,760 S1: of this country? And he walked out and he said, 583 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,200 S1: because there are people of faith and because they have families, 584 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,800 S1: you take away the faith out of this country. You 585 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,320 S1: take away the cornerstone building block of families. We crumble 586 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,320 S1: and we're starting to see that now. So, Craig, your 587 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,560 S1: thoughts about this, because this mom is sharp. She happens 588 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,240 S1: to be an attorney, by the way, so she knows 589 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,480 S1: exactly how pernicious this system can be. And she can't 590 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,360 S1: even help her child. So she is looking to litigate. 591 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,920 S1: And then she's trying to figure out the best way 592 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,960 S1: to help. And she's also working with other parents throughout 593 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,800 S1: the state of California to see what they can do collectively, 594 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,440 S1: to try to push back against this erroneous self-aggrandizement of 595 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,240 S1: the government that says, we don't like what you think, therefore, 596 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,480 S1: we're going to take your child away. 597 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:51,160 S11: Yeah, I like your recitation of what Alexis de Tocqueville found, uh, 598 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,400 S11: in around 1830 to 1840, in his visitation of the 599 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,880 S11: United States, because France sent him and said, what is 600 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:04,120 S11: the secret for the amazing success of this brand new country? 601 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,600 S11: So he ended up writing a commentary, very lengthy. And 602 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,680 S11: I was in two volumes. But here's one of the 603 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,200 S11: things he said. He said, I have observed that even 604 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:19,520 S11: though the Christian religion here, as practiced by the Americans, 605 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,160 S11: is not a formal part of government, it is the 606 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,200 S11: most important ingredient for the success of the government, and 607 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,200 S11: that the Americans feel that the idea of civil liberty 608 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,400 S11: and religious liberty are so co-dependent on each other that 609 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,360 S11: one cannot succeed without the other. Now that was then, 610 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,880 S11: and for 200 years we believed that as applied to families, 611 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,880 S11: family values, applying scriptural truth as an example, Christian families, 612 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,280 S11: and that the duty of the state was, except for 613 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,920 S11: very narrow circumstances of neglect or abuse of the physical kind. 614 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,480 S11: The obligation of the state was to support the values 615 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,280 S11: of the family raising the child. Now the situation after 616 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,200 S11: 200 years is now starting to change, and that is 617 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,320 S11: families now have the obligation to support the state's opinion 618 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,759 S11: about what's best for their child. Now, if you're a 619 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,319 S11: Christian parent and I just, you know, I've been in 620 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,040 S11: John and I ran across Jesus being asked, what's the 621 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:25,120 S11: greatest commandment? And he quoted Deuteronomy chapter six. He said, 622 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,200 S11: you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, 623 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,920 S11: and with all your soul, and with all your might. 624 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,960 S11: But then he goes on. Deuteronomy goes on. And by 625 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,480 S11: the way, Jesus affirms the validity of the Old Testament 626 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:43,440 S11: scriptures constantly. Then this follows exactly after that. And these 627 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,879 S11: words I command you today, this is God shall be 628 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,960 S11: on your heart. This is to the the Israelites who 629 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,840 S11: are about to go into the Promised Land that he 630 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,920 S11: had promised to them, now known as Israel. He said, 631 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,600 S11: you will take these words that I've commanded you and 632 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,920 S11: put them on your heart. You'll teach them diligently to 633 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,320 S11: your children, and then talk of them, that is to say, 634 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,330 S11: of those commandments when you sit in your house with 635 00:35:08,330 --> 00:35:11,130 S11: your children, when you walk, by the way, with your children, 636 00:35:11,130 --> 00:35:13,370 S11: when you are down with your children, when you rise 637 00:35:13,370 --> 00:35:16,170 S11: up with your children, you're you're supposed to bind them 638 00:35:16,170 --> 00:35:18,370 S11: to your hand. You're supposed to write them on the 639 00:35:18,370 --> 00:35:21,689 S11: doorpost of your house, the house that your children go 640 00:35:21,690 --> 00:35:25,569 S11: in and out of so that they and you will 641 00:35:25,570 --> 00:35:29,489 S11: not forget them. That's the picture God has of the 642 00:35:29,489 --> 00:35:33,850 S11: family unit, and that's the picture that any believer in 643 00:35:33,850 --> 00:35:39,210 S11: Christ who has received him and His redemption, and who 644 00:35:39,250 --> 00:35:42,609 S11: takes the Word of God seriously, that's your picture of 645 00:35:42,610 --> 00:35:46,569 S11: how the state ought to honor your household from a 646 00:35:46,570 --> 00:35:49,489 S11: scriptural standpoint. Because after all, this is your free exercise 647 00:35:49,489 --> 00:35:54,410 S11: of religion rights under the First Amendment, including avoiding a 648 00:35:54,410 --> 00:35:57,250 S11: gender ideology that you think is harmful to your children. 649 00:35:57,250 --> 00:36:00,930 S1: So pulling back big Bible wide lens view of all 650 00:36:00,969 --> 00:36:04,089 S1: of this, it should come as no surprise whatsoever that 651 00:36:04,090 --> 00:36:07,410 S1: the family is under attack. You just read one little passage, 652 00:36:07,410 --> 00:36:09,810 S1: and there are a myriad of passages about parents and 653 00:36:09,810 --> 00:36:13,450 S1: children throughout Scripture. So if you understand that God really 654 00:36:13,450 --> 00:36:15,810 S1: cares how we look well to the ways of our household, 655 00:36:15,810 --> 00:36:18,650 S1: another verse in Scripture about parenting, then you begin to 656 00:36:18,690 --> 00:36:20,730 S1: see that this is precious and important to the heart 657 00:36:20,730 --> 00:36:22,529 S1: of God. And he gives us instructions on how to 658 00:36:22,530 --> 00:36:25,009 S1: do this. So if you're the father of lies, if 659 00:36:25,010 --> 00:36:26,529 S1: you're the prince of the air, what are you going 660 00:36:26,530 --> 00:36:28,609 S1: to do? You're going to go after families. And I 661 00:36:28,610 --> 00:36:30,810 S1: don't care how else it gets spun, whether it's spoken 662 00:36:30,850 --> 00:36:32,290 S1: of in a state of the Union, or if it 663 00:36:32,290 --> 00:36:36,050 S1: becomes some bit of pending legislation. At its core, this 664 00:36:36,050 --> 00:36:39,370 S1: is a spiritual issue, and it is attack from the 665 00:36:39,370 --> 00:36:42,170 S1: chambers of hell against the family. So are you hear 666 00:36:42,210 --> 00:36:44,370 S1: me say this all the time? What did Nehemiah say? 667 00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:45,930 S1: When you hear the sound of that trumpet, you fight 668 00:36:45,930 --> 00:36:48,850 S1: for your families, friends. You just heard that trumpet blast 669 00:36:48,850 --> 00:36:58,170 S1: back after this. So this is a capstone on a 670 00:36:58,170 --> 00:37:00,529 S1: subject that we've been talking about this hour. It's in 671 00:37:00,530 --> 00:37:02,250 S1: the news all the time. My goodness. It worked its 672 00:37:02,290 --> 00:37:04,450 S1: way into the president's State of the Union address this week. 673 00:37:04,450 --> 00:37:06,810 S1: That's how big this is. So we've talked about Marilyn. 674 00:37:06,810 --> 00:37:08,810 S1: We've talked about Virginia. We've talked about Iceland. Here's one 675 00:37:08,810 --> 00:37:11,650 S1: from the UK. Okay. You cannot make this stuff up 676 00:37:11,930 --> 00:37:15,170 S1: proving that this is not a geographical problem. It's a 677 00:37:15,170 --> 00:37:18,170 S1: spiritual problem. The National Health Service. And let me just 678 00:37:18,170 --> 00:37:20,050 S1: say boldly, thank you, Lord. We don't have that system 679 00:37:20,050 --> 00:37:23,330 S1: here in the United States. It's absolutely awful. They have 680 00:37:23,330 --> 00:37:29,129 S1: now agreed in what they call trans toddlers treatments. I know, 681 00:37:29,130 --> 00:37:30,930 S1: I know, pick yourself up off the floor. It's ridiculous. 682 00:37:30,930 --> 00:37:34,969 S1: Trans toddlers, they're going to be allowed gender treatment on 683 00:37:34,969 --> 00:37:38,810 S1: the National Health Service. So under seven year olds are 684 00:37:38,810 --> 00:37:41,170 S1: now going to be seen by clinics as health services 685 00:37:41,170 --> 00:37:44,370 S1: have now caved in to activists on age limit. So 686 00:37:44,370 --> 00:37:46,969 S1: I find it interesting because, um, you've got the big 687 00:37:46,969 --> 00:37:50,009 S1: gender clinic in the UK closing because they said, oh, well, 688 00:37:50,050 --> 00:37:51,810 S1: we think we've made some mistakes here on minors. You've 689 00:37:51,810 --> 00:37:55,009 S1: got the Cass report coming out of England, which talks about, again, 690 00:37:55,010 --> 00:37:59,730 S1: this longitudinal study that, um, it's Co-morbidity Co-morbidity and you 691 00:37:59,730 --> 00:38:02,450 S1: haven't diagnosed it early enough and they outgrow it, and 692 00:38:02,450 --> 00:38:05,290 S1: the suicidal ideations dissipate. And then you've got our own 693 00:38:05,290 --> 00:38:07,930 S1: HHS report here in the states. And again, common sense, 694 00:38:08,090 --> 00:38:11,170 S1: we've got the American Association of Plastic Surgeons stepping forward. 695 00:38:11,170 --> 00:38:12,969 S1: So the pendulum is starting to swing the other way. 696 00:38:12,969 --> 00:38:15,850 S1: But you still have these residuals coming back. So now 697 00:38:15,850 --> 00:38:20,569 S1: NHS they're going to have trans toddlers trans toddlers. How 698 00:38:20,570 --> 00:38:22,689 S1: many of those toddlers can give you the names of 699 00:38:22,690 --> 00:38:27,170 S1: the colors on the rainbow. No they're they're numbers. No. 700 00:38:27,210 --> 00:38:29,410 S1: They're alphabet can tie their own shoes, but they're going 701 00:38:29,410 --> 00:38:31,210 S1: to tell you they're trapped in their own body. Sure 702 00:38:31,210 --> 00:38:35,570 S1: they are. That's the superimposition of an adult who's lost 703 00:38:35,570 --> 00:38:38,210 S1: their mind. Now we went for the UK. I'll give 704 00:38:38,210 --> 00:38:39,930 S1: you one more as the hour is drawing to a close. 705 00:38:39,930 --> 00:38:43,210 S1: Let's go to Brazil. A Brazilian student is now facing 706 00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:46,330 S1: 4 to 10 years in prison. Let me repeat that. 707 00:38:46,330 --> 00:38:50,890 S1: 4 to 10 years in prison. Over social media comments 708 00:38:50,890 --> 00:38:54,330 S1: about gender identity, identity. She showed up in federal court 709 00:38:54,330 --> 00:38:57,770 S1: this week. The hearing addressed whether the post constitute criminal 710 00:38:57,810 --> 00:39:02,540 S1: transphobia under Brazilian law. Now, remember, David Robertson is just 711 00:39:02,540 --> 00:39:06,060 S1: talking to us about this yesterday. Phobia is a fear. 712 00:39:06,060 --> 00:39:09,660 S1: So this made up word like Islamophobia or transphobia is 713 00:39:09,660 --> 00:39:13,300 S1: the fear of nobody's afraid of transphobia, by the way 714 00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:16,620 S1: they disagree with it. There's a difference between fear and disagreement. 715 00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:18,379 S1: It doesn't make any difference. You don't let common sense 716 00:39:18,380 --> 00:39:21,020 S1: get in the way. So the judicial questioning during the 717 00:39:21,020 --> 00:39:23,700 S1: session this week focused on whether the statements were published 718 00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:27,140 S1: from the defendant's own social media account, and the judge 719 00:39:27,140 --> 00:39:31,460 S1: indicated the content appears to reflect another person to reflect 720 00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:35,779 S1: rather personal opinion rather than discriminatory intent, while granting the 721 00:39:35,780 --> 00:39:39,500 S1: defence five days to submit written conclusions before ruling, according 722 00:39:39,540 --> 00:39:42,980 S1: to the legal defense organization that's involved in this. So 723 00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:46,219 S1: the prosecution concerns two posts published in November of 2020. 724 00:39:46,219 --> 00:39:50,820 S1: This is 2026, okay. This was six years ago on X, 725 00:39:51,060 --> 00:39:54,820 S1: where the student stated that transgender women quote quote, were 726 00:39:54,820 --> 00:40:00,419 S1: obviously born male. Hello, hello. Objections? obviously born male, and 727 00:40:00,420 --> 00:40:03,700 S1: wrote that a person who identifies as transgender retains their DNA. 728 00:40:03,739 --> 00:40:07,100 S1: Scientific fact and that surgery, hormones or clothing don't change 729 00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:11,820 S1: that fact. I agree 1,000,000%. That's what she's in trouble for. 730 00:40:12,340 --> 00:40:15,340 S1: The online comments apparently drew attention and prompted a report 731 00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:18,380 S1: to federal police by a politician who guess what shock 732 00:40:18,380 --> 00:40:21,420 S1: and or identifies as a transgender, leading to a criminal 733 00:40:21,420 --> 00:40:24,739 S1: investigation and later prosecution on two counts of transphobia, each 734 00:40:24,739 --> 00:40:27,620 S1: carrying a potential prison term of 2 to 5 years. Craig, 735 00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:30,180 S1: this poor young woman is looking at a potential of 736 00:40:30,180 --> 00:40:33,860 S1: ten years in jail for stating the truth. Let me 737 00:40:33,860 --> 00:40:36,859 S1: underscore again, this is not a geopolitical problem. It is 738 00:40:36,860 --> 00:40:38,180 S1: a spiritual problem. Your thoughts? 739 00:40:38,180 --> 00:40:41,259 S11: Yeah, there's no question about it now. It doesn't. That's 740 00:40:41,260 --> 00:40:46,020 S11: not to say that there are not legal policy, governmental 741 00:40:46,020 --> 00:40:49,459 S11: and free speech implications to this. There are. But that's 742 00:40:49,460 --> 00:40:55,660 S11: what happens when when some when evil triumphs. In this case, 743 00:40:55,660 --> 00:40:58,980 S11: I would call this an act of governmental evil? When 744 00:40:58,980 --> 00:41:05,500 S11: evil triumphs temporarily, uh, then there are always bad outcomes 745 00:41:05,780 --> 00:41:10,739 S11: for basic human rights. You know, the UN talks about, uh, 746 00:41:10,739 --> 00:41:13,500 S11: the basics of human rights that they believe should be 747 00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,460 S11: defended across the spectrum of all nations that are members 748 00:41:16,460 --> 00:41:19,700 S11: of the United Nations and so forth and so forth 749 00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:22,420 S11: and so forth. But here's the real nitty gritty, where 750 00:41:22,420 --> 00:41:27,460 S11: human rights are at risk if you cannot speak truth, 751 00:41:27,580 --> 00:41:32,980 S11: scientific truth on social media in Brazil without facing a 752 00:41:32,980 --> 00:41:38,419 S11: ten year prison sentence, then both truth and liberty are 753 00:41:38,420 --> 00:41:41,540 S11: at risk. And it isn't just Brazil. Brazil we've done 754 00:41:41,540 --> 00:41:46,140 S11: around the world. Uh, stop at Iceland and California and 755 00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:51,900 S11: the UK and, uh, it's it's everywhere. It's global, and 756 00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:56,219 S11: it's coming to your community. It's not to make you afraid. 757 00:41:56,219 --> 00:41:59,219 S11: It's to make you aware. And then what you do 758 00:41:59,260 --> 00:42:00,220 S11: after you're aware. 759 00:42:00,260 --> 00:42:01,100 S1: Is you get ready. 760 00:42:01,140 --> 00:42:04,859 S11: You get ready and you get ready with prayer. Have 761 00:42:04,860 --> 00:42:09,100 S11: your yourself deeply in the Word of God as your guidance. Uh, 762 00:42:09,100 --> 00:42:11,860 S11: following the Holy Spirit and honoring what God would do 763 00:42:12,180 --> 00:42:15,859 S11: about these issues in your family and your influence in 764 00:42:15,860 --> 00:42:16,540 S11: your community. 765 00:42:16,860 --> 00:42:20,339 S1: Well, again, the reason why I find these conversations on 766 00:42:20,340 --> 00:42:26,500 S1: Friday so particularly personally, um, invigorating is because they really 767 00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:29,739 S1: make us look at the scriptures and challenge their validity. 768 00:42:30,060 --> 00:42:32,379 S1: When you can look at places as far apart as 769 00:42:32,380 --> 00:42:34,780 S1: Iceland to Brazil and the United States and the UK 770 00:42:34,780 --> 00:42:37,979 S1: in between, and it's the same issue. They didn't gather 771 00:42:37,980 --> 00:42:40,460 S1: together in some coven somewhere and said, let's come up 772 00:42:40,460 --> 00:42:43,740 S1: with this trans idea. This is the father of lies 773 00:42:43,739 --> 00:42:45,939 S1: going right back to the book of Genesis saying, Did 774 00:42:45,940 --> 00:42:48,379 S1: God really say that he created male and female? Did 775 00:42:48,380 --> 00:42:50,540 S1: God really say that you were born a man or 776 00:42:50,540 --> 00:42:52,700 S1: you were born a woman? Did God really say all 777 00:42:52,739 --> 00:42:56,029 S1: of that? No. This is a Nimrod moment where in 778 00:42:56,030 --> 00:42:59,190 S1: his arrogance, Nimrod, after building his tower, shakes his fist 779 00:42:59,190 --> 00:43:02,469 S1: at God and basically says, watch my arrow. I can 780 00:43:02,469 --> 00:43:04,590 S1: take care of you, God. Well, the rest is history. 781 00:43:04,590 --> 00:43:06,310 S1: And he's in the ash heap of history the last 782 00:43:06,310 --> 00:43:08,790 S1: time I checked. But the bottom line is, it reminds 783 00:43:08,790 --> 00:43:11,110 S1: us that so many of the issues in the marketplace 784 00:43:11,110 --> 00:43:14,030 S1: of ideas, while they wear the robes of a judge, 785 00:43:14,030 --> 00:43:16,870 S1: or the costume of a legislator, or even sit at 786 00:43:16,870 --> 00:43:20,509 S1: the podium of the president's office, these are, at their core, 787 00:43:20,750 --> 00:43:25,230 S1: spiritual issues that really and truly beg the validity of Scripture. 788 00:43:25,630 --> 00:43:27,590 S1: And I love it because it makes us have to 789 00:43:27,630 --> 00:43:29,549 S1: get into the word. If not, you're going to be 790 00:43:29,550 --> 00:43:32,229 S1: sucked into the vortex of these book of Colossians vain 791 00:43:32,230 --> 00:43:33,110 S1: and hollow philosophies. 792 00:43:33,150 --> 00:43:36,270 S11: So the question is, are you, Janet, you and I 793 00:43:36,270 --> 00:43:40,630 S11: and all your listeners, are we members of today's Confessing 794 00:43:40,630 --> 00:43:44,630 S11: Church where we stand on truth regardless of the consequences, 795 00:43:44,630 --> 00:43:46,150 S11: the truth to be found in his word? 796 00:43:46,390 --> 00:43:48,910 S1: Yeah. So what's the antidote? You just got to spend more, 797 00:43:48,910 --> 00:43:50,990 S1: not less time in his word. Period. End of statement. 798 00:43:51,030 --> 00:43:54,230 S11: Yes. And how many times are we told to be bold? Uh, 799 00:43:54,230 --> 00:43:57,070 S11: Paul was told to be bold. And I thought, why 800 00:43:57,070 --> 00:43:59,069 S11: did he need to be told by God, by an 801 00:43:59,070 --> 00:44:01,350 S11: angel that he was not to fear, but to be 802 00:44:01,350 --> 00:44:03,310 S11: bold because he was made of the same human flesh? 803 00:44:03,310 --> 00:44:06,149 S11: We were the same challenges. Read the book of acts 804 00:44:06,150 --> 00:44:09,390 S11: sometimes and see what he went through. That's a preamble 805 00:44:09,390 --> 00:44:10,469 S11: to what we're going to go through. 806 00:44:10,510 --> 00:44:13,469 S1: Well, speaking of Preambles, that's why these conversations should never 807 00:44:13,469 --> 00:44:15,549 S1: make us afraid. God, first of all, didn't give us 808 00:44:15,550 --> 00:44:17,549 S1: a spirit of fear, but power, love, and of a 809 00:44:17,550 --> 00:44:20,549 S1: sound mind. Second of all, check your watch. All of 810 00:44:20,550 --> 00:44:22,310 S1: these things are going to happen. It's going to get 811 00:44:22,350 --> 00:44:24,750 S1: worse before he comes, but he's going to come at 812 00:44:24,750 --> 00:44:27,390 S1: any moment to go full circle where I started two 813 00:44:27,390 --> 00:44:30,230 S1: hours ago. His return is imminent. The world is doing 814 00:44:30,230 --> 00:44:33,390 S1: exactly what the world does without Jesus. What a reminder 815 00:44:33,390 --> 00:44:36,589 S1: for you and me to have feet swift for the gospel, 816 00:44:36,590 --> 00:44:38,710 S1: and a tongue ready to give a defense for the 817 00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:41,790 S1: hope that resides within us. Now, after all of that, 818 00:44:41,790 --> 00:44:43,390 S1: go out and fight for your families and have a 819 00:44:43,390 --> 00:44:45,310 S1: great weekend. We'll see you next time on in the 820 00:44:45,350 --> 00:44:46,710 S1: market with Janet Parshall.
