@MichelleDLesley “Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.”

@HomemakingLady Heard Howerton preach long before he was open season on X. A performer, he is not.
“How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge?”
Proverbs 1:22
I think @joerogan needs to have @howertonjosh on his show to discuss how a few friends getting together weekly to do a podcast about the Bible became the number 6 ranked podcast in the world. That would be incredible.
Get far away from always pessimistic, always negative, always black-pilling doomer grifters.
You will never be happy if all you listen to 24/7 is doom and gloom.
These are horrible, miserable people and they want to make you just as miserable as they are.
Cut them out of your lives - they're poison to your soul.
Be around happy people who are positive, always laughing, smiling, grounded, and have a good sense of humor.
Everything Seinfeld says is 100% true. it reveals that the concept of risk we were sold was a lie (to reject the traditional lameness of family for self-discovery thru indulgence). Turns out the thing that billions have done, is actually the only true risk that matters. wished I'd learned that sooner, but glad I learned it at all.
When a nation "closes its eyes" to the murder of children, God moves his judgment away from just the murderer and onto *the nation*
It does not matter if there are "extenuating circumstances" or hormonal impulses for child murder, and God knew people's emotions could be manipulated to avoid justice falling.
This is why throughout the Old Testamemt when God commands justice (death penalty) to fall on murderers, He repeatedly says "Your eye shall not pity [her]."
And we have also (+Lindsey Clancy) been doing this for ~50 years in our nation, storing up wrath (Romans 1) for a day that, without repentance, will come.
Things like this matter more than Christians often want to admit.
Because as we contend for the faith in our culture, we are determining the societal inheritance we will pass to our children, grandchildren, and the future Church in America
(As well as the ease / difficulty with which they can be faithful disciples, raise faithful Christian families, and fulfill the Great Commission in their time)
This kind of “traveling” is overrated. Tourist destinations are all the same. A resort in Florida is like a resort anywhere else. These kinds of people think they’ve “seen the world” but they’ve seen less of the world than someone who reads books instead.
My house burned down. I lost everything. I can���t rebuild. As a 42 year old man with 2 kids, I’ve had to move into my parents’ house, and I’m getting attacked for that? This is journalism? This is why no decent people ever get into politics. This is why you only have goblins running everything. God help you if you try to make things right for your community…if you lose your entire town, “journalists” mock you for not making your kids sleep in the toxic dirt on your burned out lot. Who raised you, dude?
The common response to this news is that Alex Cooper is somehow leading her audience down a path that she herself is not choosing. But what’s happening here is actually the exact feminist dream.
A woman participates in hookup culture as much as she wants when she’s in her prime. She sleeps around, has casual sex, gets the ick, dumps men, gets dumped, has summer flings, gets abortions if needed. She’s hot. She has pretty privilege and isn’t afraid to use it.
But when she feels like the time is right, she settles down with a high value man — only because it’s her choice, not because she feels pressured by societal standards or a ticking biological clock. This man does not care about her past because he wouldn’t dare judge a woman for expressing herself sexually. They have a beautiful wedding and her dress is stunning. She gets pregnant when she feels like she’s ready to take on motherhood.
She trades in her promiscuous days only when she wants to, on her own terms. And the perfect man she finds is more than happy to go along with her timeline because he respects her and her desires. And he doesn’t want to lose her.
Alex has quite literally lived out the perfect feminist blueprint thus far.
You see, the only problem is, this modern feminist blueprint usually only works for exceptionally successful, gorgeous women with influence (with exception of course, but we’re talking about the rule here). Models, actresses, wealthy bachelorettes and entrepreneurs.
It doesn’t quite translate for the everyday mid who works a boring corporate job. By the time she’s well into her 30s, the everyday mid with the promiscuous past generally doesn’t have the same allure and magnetism as a famous rich blonde who regularly rubs shoulders with elite celebrities. The men that she wants to try and settle down with have far less interest in her and would much rather marry a woman much younger, much less seasoned, and much more fertile.
This is why we are seeing such high rates of childless unmarried women. They followed the early years of the blueprint, spending their 20s and even most of their 30s dating casually, believing that they too could find a high value man when they’re older and eventually sick of the dating scene—why wouldn’t they be able to? They look at famous, rich celebs and influencers and think, hey I can do that too. If they can postpone marriage and kids until they are “ready,” so can I!
But everyday women simply aren’t on the same playing field as women like Alex Cooper. Few will fully understand this. Many will try to make excuses as to why this isn’t true (brace yourself for the outliers’ stories).
Even if you don’t see anything morally wrong with the hookup culture that Alex Cooper praises on her show, young women would be smart to understand the real world, and that you have a much greater chance at locking down a high value man when you’re younger and a bit more austere. Sorry I don’t make the rules.
@JackPosobiec This actually did happen with my sons at my daughter’s soccer practice on a near by ball field. I forced them out of the car despite them wanting to watch a movie on the iPad, and a pick up baseball game with random kids ensued. All is not lost, keep your kids off screens.
