@MattWalshBlog Honestly, even with our smaller town school, kids have multiple games & practices during the week. If I have 3 kids playing 1 sport for their age group during the same season, it's going to be consistently on the go & no down time at home.
This is the message young girls receive when athletes like Sophie Cunningham use their platform to speak the truth in love.
Courage IS contagious. It sounds cliche, but it's true.
"I'm not a cynic. I'm an American.”
NASA Astronaut @Butch_Wilmore has every reason to be bitter.
Stuck in orbit for 278 days. Abandoned by NASA. Failed by Boeing. Left up there by the Biden administration. Every institution that was supposed to bring him home let him down.
But Captain Wilmore doesn’t see it that way. He came home grateful anyway, because his faith was never in the institutions. It was in a sovereign God.
Cynicism is being sold to a whole generation as if it were wisdom. Captain Wilmore is the rarer thing: a man who bore the brunt of 278 days of institutional failure and still believes in his country and, above all, in Christ.
“Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t marry the same sex.”
“Don’t like abortion? Don’t get one.”
“Don’t like gender ideology? Then don’t transition.”
This is a lazy, morally bankrupt argument of a culture that’s traded truth for comfort. We now act as if every serious issue can be reduced to personal taste, just like picking the flavor of our favorite ice cream. We act as if whatever we believe has no implications outside of ourselves.
You would never say:
“Don’t like child abuse? Don’t abuse your kid.”
“Don’t like racism? Don’t be racist.”
“Don’t like drunk driving? Then don’t do it.”
Why not? Because we all instinctively understand that some things are just wrong, and not just for you and me, but for everyone, because these things they hurt people, they corrupt innocence and truth, they distort reality, and they destroy the moral foundation we all depend on to live in a functioning society.
The idea that all moral issues are private choices is a lie. These things don’t stay in our bedrooms or at clinic or in our heads. They seep into our schools, the media, law, culture, and to the next generation.
Everyone pays the price for the lies we choose to accept.
BEN SHAPIRO: How stupid do they think we are? Do they think we're stupid? You got to follow the dots. Kanye West has a song with Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Adam Levine, by the way, is a Frankist. I'II bet you didn't know that. Adam Levine comes from a long line of Frankists and Kanye West just doing songs with him and Candace being all close with Kanye and then a bunch of fed decoys show up at UVU wearing maroon like a Frankist Satanist would. It would take moves like Jagger to avoid the obvious here.
@abbythelibb_ I also hope you keep sharing your experiences, if you want to, cause it helps a lot of us Mamas not feel so alone. I'm a little anxious about having 3 littles. Our 2 under 2 is nuts right now& not being able to physically keep up with them just sucks right now
@abbythelibb_ I don't have the pregnancy health issues that you are having to deal with, but I def feel you on that 3 under 3 timeline amongst some other stuff. I'm praying for you. I'm glad you're so close to full term & that it'll be happening so soon. & I hope you have the support you need.
You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.
Hey, so I have some news that I really want to share with you all.
The Pittsburgh Steelers play football in approximately 44 days.
FORTY. FOUR. DAYS.
That’s it.
Keep hanging in there Steelers Nation.
Soon.
Very, very soon.
Hi everybody. Welcome to the release of the second lecture from my extensive tour archives. We’ve been working together late at night when my symptoms recede enough so that I can finally concentrate to make this release a possibility.
At the same time recently, I've been able to write a little bit and I'm working on three essays at the moment, which I hope to finish and release in the near future. One deals with the climate lies propagated by the socialists and the leftists. Another deals with the issue of the alphabet mafia and the associated Pride movement. And the final one deals with the so-called “rape gangs” in the UK, asking whether the terminology “rape gang”, which is definitely an improvement over “grooming gang”, is sufficient to accurately describe the magnitude of the crimes that are being committed.
In any case, I'm working on these now, hoping to contribute something to the ongoing public debate about these crucially important issues. I'm unhappy with my silence, however necessitated it might be by the conditions of my illness. I would like to get back to.
Thanks for your time and attention. I hope you enjoy listening to this second lecture as much as I enjoyed delivering it.
This is the second lecture from the We Who Wrestle With God tour.
What does it mean that your God is whatever you put first? Why are the stories that grip you not false but hyper-real? Why is work identical to sacrifice, and what does that reveal about the nature of the covenantal relationship between humanity and the spirit of being? What happened when Cain offered his second rate effort and why is that same temptation available to every one of us in every decision we make? What is the story of Job really about? And what is the one promise that runs through the entire biblical corpus for those who are willing to offer their best?
These are not abstract questions. They are the questions that determine the structure of your life whether you answer them consciously or not.
Lecture filmed in Adler Theatre in Davenport, Iowa on February 18, 2024.
@JakeCrain_ I bet Mama is def ready at this point, cause I know I am lol! Many blessings & hope for healthy & awesome delivery & rest of pregnancy!!
Hi, everybody.
I’m pleased to let you know that we’re going to release a lecture a week from my extensive tour archive, beginning this Sunday and then repeating every Sunday after that.
This allows me to do something interesting and useful while I’m otherwise incapacitated. My health is such at the moment that I can’t really return to podcasting or public lecturing. But we recorded these with the express intention of preparing them for release, and we’ve all determined that this is a very good time to do that.
So that’s what’s going to happen.
I hope you find them useful and compelling. They’ll be particularly attractive to those of you who liked my early YouTube work that was very lecture focused. It’s a return to my roots, I suppose, in some ways. And I’m as happy as I can be under the current circumstances, given my ill health, to be participating in this process and to have these lectures prepared for release.
Thanks a lot for your continued attention and support.
- Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
