00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320
Now, the program to help you and your family get fit and stay fit with a biblical foundation

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,880
without a one-size-fits-all plan.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,120
It's Faith Family Fitness with your host, Full Armor Sports and National Champion Coach

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,280
Jason Lupo.

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,120
Good morning.

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:28,060
Welcome to another episode of Faith Family Fitness on 100.7 The Word.

7
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:34,680
The other day I was asked a question, and it's a question I get asked quite a bit, and

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,880
that question is this.

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,080
What is it like to coach today's youth?

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,400
And how does it differ from a number of years ago?

11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:55,480
And as I've been coaching for a while, you see a drastic change in youth.

12
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,760
And it's not uncommon.

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,400
We see changes in society.

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,440
So why wouldn't it push its way over to today's youth?

15
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:17,600
But we see so many changes in our society and societal beliefs, and it's passed on through

16
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,860
our community.

17
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:31,520
And it's changed the way that we look at how we raise our children, and also how we coach,

18
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:40,840
and how we teach, and the lessons that we teach, and what is okay and what is not okay.

19
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,960
And we've turned into this society of being woke.

20
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:52,080
We've turned into this society of demasculinization.

21
00:01:52,080 --> 00:02:01,160
We've turned into a society where teaching fundamental values to your children in your

22
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:07,260
households, in your families, is no longer okay.

23
00:02:07,260 --> 00:02:09,200
And that's a huge issue.

24
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:17,240
And so today I want to talk about some of the things that I've seen in our latest attempt

25
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:25,120
to try to combat the issues of our world and our society in our own programs.

26
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,440
And so I hope you find this show interesting.

27
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,920
I hope it doesn't sound too much like a rant, even though it's probably going to be quite

28
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,240
a bit like a rant.

29
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,960
But it should be an entertaining rant, and hopefully educational, and get you guys just

30
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:46,680
to open up your mind and to think in a different manner about what's going on in our society.

31
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,120
So we're going to take a brief timeout when we come back.

32
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,800
We're going to talk about world problems.

33
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,520
I'll see you after this break.

34
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,160
Thanks for listening to Faith Family Fitness, a presentation of full armor sports teams.

35
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,360

48
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Welcome back to Faith Family Fitness.

49
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:06,960
Today's topic, our world today and how it impacts our youth, how it impacts our sports,

50
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,480
our coaching, how we respond to issues.

51
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,600
And as I was saying in the intro, I was asked the question, what is it like to coach today's

52
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,040
youth versus youth of the past?

53
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:25,200
And we've always had this generational thing, you know, you're in the Y generation or whatever

54
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,480
it is.

55
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,480
You're a millennial.

56
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:37,000
And it seems like in the last 13 years, we can no longer break up groups by 15, 20 year

57
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,520
markers.

58
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,940
But really, it's like a three year process where you see youth continually changing and

59
00:04:43,940 --> 00:04:50,280
changing very rapidly in their understanding of spouse values and what they believe and

60
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:52,020
what the schools are teaching.

61
00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:58,800
And so we've seen a drastic difference and a drastic change in our world that has impacted

62
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,600
our youth in the generations coming up.

63
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,600
And there's a big difference between the kids that I coach today and the kids that I coached

64
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,360
10 years ago.

65
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,480
It's a drastic difference.

66
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,140
And so what has led to this?

67
00:05:14,140 --> 00:05:17,800
What has led to these problems?

68
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:25,600
And part of it is a lot of the youth today have gone through the COVID era.

69
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:33,000
They've gone through this COVID era and it truly has changed the way that they act, the

70
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,360
way that they respond to situations.

71
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,720
And in some ways, sure, it makes them stronger, but in other ways, it makes them a little

72
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,240
weaker.

73
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:53,560
It makes them a little less, a little more gun shy, a little less likely to take the

74
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,040
lead.

75
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,560
That's what we've seen.

76
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,560
That's what I've seen in a lot of our youth.

77
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:09,480
And Paul, when he was writing his letter to the Corinthians, in First Corinthians, he

78
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,860
sums up his letter with a statement.

79
00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:17,160
He closes it with a rather strong statement.

80
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:27,920
Watch, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong.

81
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,400
It's a strong statement.

82
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,400
It's a strong statement.

83
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,600
It's a strong reminder to act like men.

84
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,160
And that's something we've missed in our society.

85
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Society has now been called toxic, toxic masculinity.

86
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:57,040
And there's this drive from woke society to demasculinize men.

87
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:07,360
And we end up with a lack of leadership and we end up with a lack of strength in our organizations.

88
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,840
And it's not for the better.

89
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:17,840
And sure, if you want to call toxic masculinity alpha males that are self-centered, but that's

90
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,360
not what masculinity is.

91
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,560
That's not the crisis that we're talking about.

92
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:31,040
That's not the crisis that we're seeing in today's society where we have a lack of men

93
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:38,880
and a lack of leadership in organizations because we've forgotten to stand strong in

94
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:46,400
the faith, to watch, to be brave, to be strong because those are characteristics that have

95
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:55,760
by and large been removed from our population or an attempt to remove them from our population.

96
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:03,160
And that all goes back to this idea that everybody's got to be the same, look the same, act the

97
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,560
same.

98
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,080
We can't judge.

99
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,960
And I'm not saying that we should judge in a different way, in a different context.

100
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:18,240
I hate the saying don't judge because there's a difference between judgment and accountability

101
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,320
that we oftentimes lack.

102
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,680
And if you call somebody out on their wrongdoings that is not judging them, that is holding

103
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,840
them accountable, and we've lost that idea of society, just like we've lost the idea

104
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,880
of tolerance in our society, which we talked about the other day.

105
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,680
And Paul also mentions that we do everything with all this information.

106
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,940
We do all of it in love.

107
00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:54,800
And so when we talk about the difference between alpha males and masculinity and self-centeredness,

108
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:01,180
being a man, watching, standing firm in the faith, being brave, being strong, we do it

109
00:09:01,180 --> 00:09:05,260
out of love, love for one another.

110
00:09:05,260 --> 00:09:08,000
And I think that's really important.

111
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:18,280
And so the first thing that we're doing in our programs at Full Armor is I created a

112
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,800
man card.

113
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,580
And it's not that we're trying to bring back toxic masculinity in terms of like alpha male,

114
00:09:25,580 --> 00:09:31,720
but we have to bring back masculinity in our boys in our program because we run a lot of

115
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,860
co-ed programs and we need that leadership.

116
00:09:35,860 --> 00:09:39,140
We need the leadership from the boys.

117
00:09:39,140 --> 00:09:40,480
And so it's simple.

118
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:48,760
We created this saying, and I'm looking at the design example of our man card, a man

119
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:55,240
leads without complaint, fights for integrity, loves unconditionally, strengthens those around

120
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:01,900
him, finishes strong and completes the mission.

121
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:05,020
And sure, we're probably going to get a lot of flack for this.

122
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:10,760
We made these into patches, Velcro patches, they're PVC patches that'll stick to one of

123
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:16,560
those tactical backpacks that we just transitioned to and changed for all of our kids.

124
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:21,400
And they're going to be wearing them proudly on the outside of their backpack, man card,

125
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:28,460
walking into swim meets and in powerlifting competitions and competitions around the state.

126
00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:36,440
And I'm sure that some people will be wholefully offended by the fact that we want masculinity

127
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,000
back in our boys.

128
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,140
But we want masculinity back in our boys, not in an alpha sense, but in the sense of

129
00:10:45,140 --> 00:10:54,840
leading without complaint, fighting for integrity, loving unconditionally, strengthening those

130
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:02,860
around them, finishing strong and completing the mission.

131
00:11:02,860 --> 00:11:08,720
And I think that's important because that is what we are lacking.

132
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:17,680
And a second big issue that we have right now in our youth, in our society, is the lack

133
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:20,920
of critical thinking.

134
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:29,080
We've lacked critical thinking because it's no longer allowed in woke culture to use your

135
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,840
brain.

136
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:39,960
We have created this sense that whatever comes out of the federal government's mouth, whatever

137
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:45,680
comes out of our schools is 100% accurate.

138
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,200
And that is what we need to reiterate.

139
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:56,760
That is what we need to memorize and replay to those around us.

140
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:06,480
And it's led to a crisis where we are no longer having youth truly making decisions based

141
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,840
on their knowledge of the facts.

142
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:16,680
And so as I've said before, I teach biology over at Great American Outpost.

143
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:18,520
I truly enjoy it.

144
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,840
And we've talked a lot.

145
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,680
Obviously it's a more Christian program.

146
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,000
We have a lot of Christian kids in there.

147
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,240
I'm sure we have kids that are not Christian in that organization, but it's a homeschool

148
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,120
co-op.

149
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:40,360
And I like to teach apologetics in biology.

150
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:51,760
And I like to teach how to defend one's understanding of creation, creation by an intelligent designer.

151
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:58,200
And we've talked a lot about that term, intelligent design on this show.

152
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,800
And I want kids to make decisions for themselves.

153
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,120
And so I lay out all of the information.

154
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,320
And we've changed the scientific method drastically, by the way.

155
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,680
If you look at science nowadays versus science the way that it was intended to be done, a

156
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:20,680
lot of times we do science to prove what we want to prove instead of doing science to

157
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:23,940
discover what needs to be discovered.

158
00:13:23,940 --> 00:13:28,180
And so we look at things that we know to be true.

159
00:13:28,180 --> 00:13:30,400
We look at the origins.

160
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:36,160
And then we just ask the question, with the knowledge that you have, do you believe that

161
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:42,040
everything came out of one single cell through a big bang?

162
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:48,280
And most of the kids, you can't fathom it because it doesn't make sense.

163
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:58,720
And on top of that, we teach how to truly read research, to truly understand how to

164
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,540
read a peer-reviewed article.

165
00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:09,600
And we have to discover for ourselves what we've been missing is, especially in our high

166
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:18,000
school kids and kids under the college level, which by the way I attended, I got two bachelor's

167
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,480
degrees and a master's degree, so I went through plenty of the university.

168
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:29,560
And there are tons of kids that I went to school with sitting alongside me that did

169
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,240
not have the same understanding of critical thinking.

170
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,240
And that's a huge issue.

171
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,280
But you have to be able to critically think about the research that's being put in front

172
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,820
of you because the research that's coming out today is to prove what they want to prove

173
00:14:44,820 --> 00:14:46,240
to the public.

174
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:52,360
Either they want to prove that their product works or they want to prove that their product

175
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:59,080
is safe and effective instead of looking to discover.

176
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:06,360
And we saw this drastic change in science, especially in COVID.

177
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,880
We have to use critical thinking.

178
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:14,260
We have to allow our kids to use critical thinking.

179
00:15:14,260 --> 00:15:20,920
Because all we're trying to, all our schools are trying to do is get them to reiterate

180
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,620
what is woke and what is socially correct.

181
00:15:26,620 --> 00:15:33,540
And I say that with quotation marks around it because what is socially correct for some

182
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:37,580
people is not socially correct for all.

183
00:15:37,580 --> 00:15:45,540
And so if you've tuned into this show, you are probably on 100.7 the word because you

184
00:15:45,540 --> 00:15:51,480
are listening to other pastors sharing the word of God.

185
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:58,200
And so I'm confident that I'm speaking to a majority of Christian households in our

186
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,480
society right now.

187
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:09,620
But our Christian households, our Christian values, what we espouse to be correct and

188
00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:17,960
true is consistently being destroyed in the media, in our society, in our world around

189
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,200
us.

190
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:29,600
And so we are seeing today what Paul has talked about in the Bible time and time again about

191
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:36,080
standing strong, being strong, being brave.

192
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:45,720
And Paul makes references over and over and over about using athletics to prove his point,

193
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:56,640
using athletics as a means to transform and also relay the message of what our Christian

194
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:02,080
life is like or will be.

195
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,800
Running the race that's marked out with us with endurance.

196
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:06,800
It's not easy.

197
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,280
It's not easy in the faith to stand strong.

198
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,420
And Paul knows that and Paul is making that warning to us.

199
00:17:16,420 --> 00:17:18,240
He's consistently warning us.

200
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:27,000
But this letter to the Corinthians and how he ends it, essentially saying, act like a

201
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,320
man.

202
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:36,280
That's saying that, hey, a time will come, and people listening to the show, that time

203
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:45,680
is now, a time will come when you will be required to stand firm if you are going to

204
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,680
stand in the faith.

205
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,960
And that is the time that we are seeing now.

206
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:58,080
And so we need to show leadership ourselves to the youth in our community as to what that

207
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,600
looks like.

208
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,680
We need to fight for what is right.

209
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,420
And we need to do all of this.

210
00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:16,000
Remember that next verse, in love, not out of pure alpha male status and self-centeredness.

211
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,440
But we do all of this.

212
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,160
We stand firm in the faith.

213
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,520
We're brave and courageous.

214
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,680
We have a watchful eye in the name of love.

215
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:34,360
That is a critical aspect of what Paul is trying to say in that next verse.

216
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:40,740
And so with our youth, critical thinking is number one.

217
00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:45,760
Number one, we have to make sure that we can lay out information for our youth.

218
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:53,000
They can take that information, they can process it, and then they can come to a decision themselves.

219
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,960
And so we have to allow our youth to make a decision.

220
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:04,680
I explain a lot of what we do and why we do it to our youth in our program to my athletes.

221
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,800
Sometimes they listen, sometimes they don't.

222
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,000
But I tell them the science.

223
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,240
I tell them why we're doing what they're doing and how the body responds to training.

224
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,720
And then that allows them to make the decision as to how hard they're going to train and

225
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,760
push themselves.

226
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,560
And of course, we want them to push themselves.

227
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,840
We're leading them in the direction.

228
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,480
So I guess we're no better than the schools.

229
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,760
But we're trying to get them to understand why they're doing what they're doing, which

230
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,680
I guess is better than the schools.

231
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:38,720
But still in the same path, we're trying to direct their course of action.

232
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,520
And that is part of what leadership is.

233
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:49,080
And so I don't want to completely trash trying to lead kids in a direction.

234
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,320
But there's a difference between leadership and brainwashing.

235
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,700
And I think we all know that very clearly.

236
00:19:54,700 --> 00:20:02,020
And so if we can get our youth to process information, come to the decision themselves,

237
00:20:02,020 --> 00:20:07,360
understand our values, understand Christian values, and make decisions as to whether or

238
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:15,600
not the woke culture aligns with those values, that is the ultimate win.

239
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,960
That is what we are looking for in our youth.

240
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:27,640
We want them to process that information and come up with the decision themselves that

241
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,880
what they're seeing is not right.

242
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,480
I asked a ton of my kids the other day about furries in schools.

243
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:43,000
If you don't know about this, there's kids that identify as animals.

244
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,800
Some schools are even putting out water bowls for these kids in Colorado Springs.

245
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,720
We are not exempt from this situation.

246
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Use critical thinking.

247
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,920
Use critical thinking.

248
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:02,080
There is no way that any person is a dog.

249
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,080
Sorry.

250
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,680
Maybe I'll be canceled for that.

251
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,920
Anyways we are going to take a brief time out.

252
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:13,160
When we come back we're going to wrap up this lovely conversation on what is going on in

253
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,160
today's society.

254
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,320
Be back after a brief time out.

255
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:23,600
Thanks for listening to Faith Family Fitness, a presentation of full armor sports teams.

256
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,800
Teamwork is at the core of any successful organization.

257
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:32,120
At Full Armor Sports, led by national champion coach Jason Lupo, a Christ-centered approach

258
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:37,840
to sports fundamentals and fitness has earned his company the respect of athletes and their

259
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,840
parents.

260
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,880
Full Armor Sports is committed to helping youth in our community experience growth through

261
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,680
sports and to strive for improvement and excellence.

262
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:53,640
Further, youth compete as individuals coming together with a sense of teamwork, camaraderie,

263
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,400
and support for one another.

264
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:02,100
At Full Armor Sports, the reality is achievements, failures, wins and losses eventually fade

265
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:08,520
away but the bonds team members form through competition evolve into relationships lasting

266
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,520
forever.

268
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,760
Welcome back to Faith Family Fitness on 100.7 The Word.

269
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,000
Thank you for joining us today.

270
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,440
Thank you for listening in on our conversation as to how our youth has changed over a handful

271
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:34,720
of years and what it truly means to stand firm in the faith in today's world and the

272
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,560
woke culture that's going on.

273
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,840
And so I'm going to leave you with this.

274
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,360
Allow kids to come to their own decision.

275
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:52,200
Provide them with this set of beliefs that you espouse, the Christian beliefs, and then

276
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,720
allow them to make the decision as to what is going on whether or not it is correct.

277
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:04,980
Because I think for the most part, most youth when allowed to think critically will look

278
00:23:04,980 --> 00:23:10,880
at woke culture today and find it absurd.

279
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,920
And sure, we need to lead.

280
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,040
We need to lead our families.

281
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:23,880
And so that might mean that we have to pull our kids out of woke culture for a while and

282
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:30,000
allow them to get out of the brainwashing going on in a lot of today's society in order

283
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:39,340
to make, in order to clear that mind, allow them to make those critical decisions.

284
00:23:39,340 --> 00:23:42,400
Because we need critical thinking back in our society.

285
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,240
And we need men that act like men and lead.

286
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,040
And it's not toxic.

287
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,400
It's not toxic for men to be men.

288
00:23:53,400 --> 00:24:01,160
Like our woke culture wants us to believe toxic masculinity is not an issue.

289
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,360
I mean, toxic masculinity in an alpha male sense might be because we have to remember

290
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:12,600
in Corinthians that we do these things for love and self-centeredness does not combine

291
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,520
with that idea.

292
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,760
This is Faith Family Fitness.

293
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,200
