00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,680
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheep Get Sheared Podcast.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,840
I'm your host, Austin Creed.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:13,160
My friends, we're going to talk about how the church needs to appeal to men again.

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,320
And we're going to follow up on this discussion I've discussed it before.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:25,920
I believe that the church needs to become more modern in the sense that, you know, I

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,920
grew up in the church.

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,080
I'll start with that.

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,960
I grew up in the church.

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:41,520
And there seems to be this inherent separation between the world of church and outside of

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,520
it.

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,360
This idea of being in the world, but not of it, I think has gone too far.

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,360
In fact, I believe it's gone so far that today I'm going to assert to you on the show that

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:03,800
we need pastors to have men sign pre-nups before anyone gets married in the church today.

14
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,320
Now, I understand that's very controversial.

15
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:09,320
Trust me, I'm aware.

16
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:11,040
But you know what?

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:17,000
I think it's disgusting that today, I know why the churches do it, by the way.

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Number one, they think they're furthering the mandate of God.

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,400
And number two, because they directly benefit by people who are married in their church.

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,600
How do you think most religions grow?

21
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,400
And this isn't just Christianity or different sects of Christianity.

22
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:40,000
This applies to every religion, cult, community group, whatever you want to say.

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,600
The fastest way you can multiply your following is through indoctrinating the children.

24
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,440
So the fastest way to do that, though, is to get their parents married and give them

25
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:59,680
an incentive to produce children that then you get to shape, mold, and craft how you

26
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,680
want.

27
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,680
Now, I understand that sounds very vulgar and distasteful how I just described it.

28
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,080
I did that on purpose.

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,360
I did that on purpose because a lot of times you'll hear stuff like, I just want to teach

30
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,720
kids the right thing to do.

31
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,560
I want to point them in the right direction.

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,400
I want to raise them with good values.

33
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,200
You see how all of those things are more like code words?

34
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:31,880
And how when you say it the way I just said it, a lot more vulgar and a lot more, wow,

35
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,120
I do not like this.

36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,120
None of that.

37
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,120
But that's basically the same thing.

38
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,240
Now, I'm not going to argue that it's bad.

39
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:43,080
In fact, I'd argue that a lot of the Christian church teachings are in fact good for society

40
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,640
and good for the soul.

41
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:51,480
However, they don't do it in good faith all the time because if they did, then they would

42
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:59,760
say huh, you know, the divorce rate is over 50% in much cases, it's been closer to 60-70%.

43
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,440
And when we look at who's filing the divorce is 80% are women.

44
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:11,720
So because of that fact, we're going to adapt to try to prevent marriages from ending and

45
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,880
penalizing people, we're going to reward them for being married and we're going to penalize

46
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,760
them for the exit fee.

47
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,480
But when the last time you were to pass to say, hey, you know what gentlemen, if you

48
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,560
want to get married, get a prenup, I'm never, I didn't go and at least say I have never

49
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,960
heard that once.

50
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,680
I can confidently say that.

51
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,560
And I understand that that's going to be very distasteful for some people, but guess

52
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,200
what, that's good because I'd rather it be distasteful and you call up your wedding,

53
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:50,040
then have to be informed and the average of eight years to 10 years later that they've

54
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:56,480
been divorced, guy lost his kids, guy lost his house, he's living in his car.

55
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,440
These are real realities, my friends.

56
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,280
I know they're not something you hear about at church.

57
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,480
Of course you don't.

58
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,760
What benefit would they have to steer you away from marriage?

59
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,000
They don't gain by doing that.

60
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
So they won't tell you that.

61
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,640
Or they'll say something even more disingenuous and they'll say, oh, well, those are just

62
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:25,720
those kind of people are, those are just certain people because you go to church, you're special

63
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,400
and you don't have to worry about that.

64
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,400
Sorry.

65
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,960
Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

66
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,400
I wish it did, but it doesn't.

67
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,120
And so look, we are living in an imperfect world.

68
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:44,680
We're living in a world full of people who want to check and people who are hungry and

69
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,760
people who are ambitious.

70
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:54,760
And almost all of the billionaire women in the world are gained that from inheritance

71
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,560
or via divorce.

72
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,760
Women not so much.

73
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,560
So when I say this gentleman, I know you're immediately going to gut react and say, oh,

74
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,240
not my girl Austin.

75
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,240
You're just paranoid.

76
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:18,440
And you can insert any level of insults or deflection or whatever you want.

77
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,360
But at the end of the day, what is the harm?

78
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,360
What is the harm?

79
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,160
I'm going to ask you the question.

80
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,680
What is the harm in a pastor holding a seminar?

81
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,440
Let's say there's a lawyer in your congregation.

82
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,480
What are the downsides of the pastor saying, hey, you know what, we're going to hold a

83
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,800
seminar for the men, men, young men, middle-aged men who want to get married.

84
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,800
Here's the seminar.

85
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,800
Here's guys night.

86
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,880
And we're going to lay down the divorce statistics.

87
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,680
We're going to lay down the dead bed marriage statistics.

88
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,600
We're going to lay down chore play.

89
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,960
We're going to lay down how all of this stuff works, the debate and switch, the games, the

90
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,960
garbage, the hoops you're going to have to jump through to get sex from your wife.

91
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,360
We're going to put all of this in here and then we're going to talk about free nubs.

92
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,240
We're going to talk about how statistically you're going to lose your kids and deal with

93
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,040
child support, possibly alimony, depending on your state.

94
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,120
We're going to break all of this stuff down for you.

95
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,600
I don't see any harm in that.

96
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:29,640
No, I see the women saying like the guy from Jurassic Park, you can't do that because here's

97
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,640
what we're going to do.

98
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,200
We're going to make you feel bad.

99
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,120
We're going to emotionally manipulate you or it might withhold sex from you and all

100
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,920
that kind of stuff.

101
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,920
I see that happening.

102
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,160
But my friends, let's be totally clear.

103
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,480
This is necessary for the church today.

104
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:52,920
No, I realize you and your grandma and your grandpa, probably your grandpa and your grandma

105
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,360
are probably saying that I'm reprehensible right now.

106
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,880
Well, guess what?

107
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,680
The 1950s are long gone.

108
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,960
1960s are long gone.

109
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,000
We are not living in that universe anymore.

110
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,080
That is a parallel dimension at this particular point.

111
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:15,000
And we are living in a world of shenanigans, cheaters, liars, manipulators, family court,

112
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,960
double dippers, cherry pickers, you name it.

113
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,640
That's the world we're living in.

114
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:27,160
So to lie by omission or lie directly to these men is a crime against humanity, in my opinion,

115
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,160
and you are reprehensible.

116
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,600
So the only way that we can really rectify this is to educate the men because the women

117
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,360
already know about this, by the way.

118
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,080
All I got to do was go on TikTok and see some bitter bitch talking about how she divorced

119
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,560
her husband and it was the best decision she ever made.

120
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,120
What she leaves out is the fact that now she's crying herself to sleep and probably had a

121
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,600
clap two times, but again, this is what I'm talking about.

122
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,480
I know this.

123
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,200
Women are way more in social media than me and that's part of my job because I love

124
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,200
it.

125
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,200
They are on it way more.

126
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,040
You ever see your girlfriend on just TikTok scrolling through TikTok?

127
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Yeah.

128
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,800
Really don't think she knows about the family court, how she can make a good check of your

129
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,040
monkey ass.

130
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,200
Yes, yes she can.

131
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:19,240
So again, this is why I tell you, we need to educate men and the church needs to step

132
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,040
up to the plate and knock it out of the park like Babe Ruth if they want to be relevant

133
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,040
again.

134
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,960
They want men to fill the pews again.

135
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,000
If they want young men to have the security to have children again, they need to put this

136
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,280
up there.

137
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,560
Just encouraging women to be good is not cutting it.

138
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:37,920
It is not enough.

139
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:43,120
We have too many women finding God after they've been ran through and made every mistake possible

140
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,280
now wanting to be wives and marry good men.

141
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,920
And I'm sick of it.

142
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,920
I'm sick of it.

143
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:57,920
You know, I'm sick of these women using God as an emotional weapon against men and it's

144
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,120
time we stepped up.

145
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,440
You know, it's easy to say that all the scripture hasn't changed so that our approach shouldn't

146
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,440
change.

147
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,640
We don't live in the same culture as ancient Rome.

148
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,920
That's what most of New Testament was written.

149
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,840
We don't live during the time of ancient Rome.

150
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,160
We live in America.

151
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,440
We live in the West.

152
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,440
We live in 2024.

153
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:27,440
It's time for us to step forward, fast forward, and in the modern day and say, hey, you know

154
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,440
what?

155
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,440
This is what Paul said then.

156
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,000
Here's what we can do now.

157
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,280
That is what we should be doing.

158
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,960
That is what I say we should do.

159
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:45,280
And if you disagree, you are welcome to disagree, but I ask that you use common sense and logic

160
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:52,360
and don't just come in here and insult my faith orientation or insult my mama or insult

161
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,360
something.

162
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,360
To me, that's just a waste.

163
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,680
Like what are we in the fifth grade?

164
00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:01,920
My fifth grade self would say that was a sweet diss, but not now.

165
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,400
My friends, if you have anything you want to add, subtract, comment on, you're welcome

166
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,400
to do it.

167
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,120
This is a very important topic.

My friends, this is very important to me.

171
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,880
And it's time that we stop pretending and keeping order ostriches.

172
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,560
Get your head out of the sand, out of the ground, and let's actually step forward and

173
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:32,040
let's save the church again.

174
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,760
Let's get young men to be in the pews again.

175
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280
Let's have families being the church again.

176
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:45,760
Let's do these things and make the church accessible and not just a sacrifice again.

177
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,440

Peace.
