My friends welcome to the sheep get shared podcast.
I'm your host Austin created my friends today
I want to read touch on Why Pastors in my opinion
are going the way of the dodo bird when it comes
to relevancy now First thing I want to say is
I'm posting as much Partially because I'm starting
a whole new job, which I can go into maybe at
a little bit of a different time in the show.
But I've been really feeling convicted recently
because I've been to a couple different churches
since moving to a new area. And what's really
interesting to me is no matter where you go,
especially in America. I can't talk about outside
of America because I don't have a lot of experience
outside America when it comes to going to different
churches. But what I'll tell you is as I go to
more churches, people always say, oh, my church
is different. My churches, they do it the right
way. Everybody says this. Everybody thinks that
their church is the best. They have the person
who's going to teach them the way and it's the
right way and everybody else has got a little
wrong here maybe majorly wrong over there like
everybody thinks this if you ever ask someone
and say oh you don't have a bad experience with
much with church in general but what are they
going to say oh well just come on over to my
church my church does it right when it comes
to men i haven't met a single church that does
it right and let me explain what i mean by that
my friends I've talked about this before, but
at the risk of sounding reductive, I want to
say it again. We're living in a reactionary period
in human history. In the old days, we would never
have had this conversation, because we didn't
have to pretend that women had to get a leg up.
We didn't have to pretend. That oh, yeah, I'm
gonna do everything men can do. Oh, yeah, and
I'm not a big deal No by the day we have to pretend
like that. But now we got to pretend like that
today and I want to make one thing clear about
this show and I think this show in general it
means to pivot because I'm sick and tired and
I don't know where you are. Yes, you listening
to the show right now I'm over Talking about
oh, you know, we need to put women in check.
We need to do is we can do that. Nah, man No,
dude doesn't waste a time the gigantic waste
of time Huge waste. So instead what I think we
need to really pivot on is we need to go back
to the basics here of The biblical bachelor lifestyle
we need to go back to the the roots of it and
the roots of it is Understanding that the culture
does not support what the pastors preach If we
go and we look at in the Bible And we look at
they say oh, we don't have sex before marriage
They look and they say the marriage is a good
thing that a man having a woman is a good thing
And look at all these things and they preach
it to you as men. They say don't have adulterous
eyes Don't lust after a woman. Don't do the thing.
No, we can go down the list That's what they're
telling you to do. They're telling you. Oh, don't
don't do that You need to be above reproach.
You need to have discipline, sexual discipline.
Well, my friends, what's interesting about that
conversation is it's disingenuous. And I'll tell
you why it's disingenuous. You might be asking
me, well, Austin, what are you talking about?
What are you telling me I shouldn't do that?
No, oh, hold on a second. Hold your horses here.
You're following for the trap that a lot of other
people will follow for, which is you're reacting.
instead of asking questions. When it comes to
everything that we just described, there's one
key element that's missing. One key element that's
missing. And that, my friends, is context. I
don't hear that talked about in church anymore.
Context. There was a small period in time, back
in like 2010s, when people would talk about context.
But now they don't. Why? We're not allowed to
answer your question with a question. I was told
once that's very rude, but you know, I want to
do it anyway. If I ask you, when Paul says that
you as a man need to love your wife as Christ
loved the church, why would he say a thing like
that? Why would he say that? Obviously you should
love your wife, right? Why would he say that?
Well, the answer is because back in the day,
in the days of ancient Rome, You could beat,
you could beat your wife and not go to jail.
You could pimp pan your wife and no one could
say anything because it was totally fine. If
she stepped out of line, people were like, yeah,
yeah, she deserved it. You try that today. Yeah,
you going to jail. You going under of the jail.
So again, context matters. Let's go to the next
point. About context mattering and then how men
churches failed men by failing to provide context
and failing to provide outlets For the modern
day as opposed to old ideas That don't fit in
the modern day. They failed in this regard failed
absolutely flunked out failed Now let's go to
the next the one that gets my goat the most when
people talk about, oh, you have to not have sex
before marriage. Okay, well, first of all, in
the Old Testament, sex was marriage, but we'll
ignore that because apparently that's old hat.
No, that's old hat. Oh yeah, let me repeat that
in case you missed it. You look in the Old Testament,
sex was marriage. Now, of course, it's not. So
we gotta fast forward to the middle here. When
they talk about don't have sex before marriage.
Well people got married around the ages of you
know, 13 to 15 back in the day That's when a
man became a man was in especially in the days
of ancient Israel about 13 years old And in case
you haven't noticed 13 year olds are not considered
adults today So, uh, but, uh, they have puberty.
I can, I could personally tell you that. So again,
we have a problem. There's a discrepancy there.
See, what's interesting to me, if you, if you
actually want to know the culture, it provides
context to the content you read in the Bible.
But of course that doesn't get people to give
you their money, which I can't believe I actually
have to say this. At the risk of sounding absolutely
blasphemous, churches are a business. They have
to make money to pay people who work for them,
to pay for the property taxes of the building
they operate in. They have to pay for things,
which makes them a business. They need to operate
at some kind of a profit which makes them a business
They ask you for money which makes them a business
and That's why I've talked about on this show
if you're new you've got no idea what I'm talking
about And for those of you who are not new You
know exactly what I'm talking about religion
incorporated. I talked about this at length and
I'm Writing about it right now and in my one
of my newer books that I want to hopefully publish
once I Get the money coming in but here's the
thing That if you say that you're viewed in a
negative lens because people don't like to hear
that the churches are businesses But they are
and so when you look at that and you realize
wait a minute women hold most of the consumer
debt in case you didn't know it and You know,
men have been outnumbered by women since World
War II. And in World War II, as really when this
shift started happening, when all the socialists
and the communists and everybody came over from
Eastern Europe because the Nazis drove them out
and then they came over here and it's... And
then you look at where we are today in the universities
with the youth and then they trickled over into
the church and now the church has been infiltrated
and Now you have rainbow fish churches that celebrate
LGBTQ community and then all these things trickled
down as Reagan Ronald Reagan in the 80s said
trickle down economics Well, we have trickled
down the botchery trickled down bad leadership,
because now we look at the church today. When's
the last time? And I want to ask you this for
all I know it could have been last Sunday, but
I'm going to ask you a very important question.
And I want you to think about it. If you've been
to church or you've listened to a sermon on your
phone, whatever it might be, when was the last
time that The pastor called out an issue that
wasn't an easy target. I guarantee you it wasn't
recently. Now, I want to make this clear. I am
not trying to sit here and say, Oh, we got to
check these women, but no, I don't care about
that. No, I don't. What I care about is educating
you men who listen to the show, whether it's
reinforcing what you already knew. Or by opening
your eyes and you realize wait a minute hold
the phone I can't just go to church and all of
a sudden I'm in the safe zone You know, I don't
got to worry about this. I can get married with
no repercussions I can I can just follow this
line of living and nothing's gonna happen bad
is gonna happen to me and Everything's gonna
work out. No, that's not how it works In fact,
if you look at how many women come into that
church any church in America, past the age 25
to 28, and how many of them suddenly are looking
for a good man, suddenly they're dressing all
there, they put their OnlyVans away, they stop
stripping, they stop, you know, being a 304 going
around in the streets and all of a sudden they're
back in church and they're looking for a good
man and they're dressed all buttoned up and covered
up and they're ready for a good man. You would
be surprised. But it's true. In fact, if you
don't think I'm telling you the truth, well,
the unsubscribe button is right there. You think
I'm lying to you? Go ahead, see it for yourself.
And again, I'm not even costing moral judgment
on these people. I'm telling you as a man that
that is not a good investment on paper. Does
that mean you can't make it work? No, it just
means it's a bad investment on paper. That's
like saying I'm going to go buy a used car. when
you could buy a new car why would you buy a used
car with 200 000 miles on it when you could buy
a new car and cut your risk down it's a little
more expensive maybe yeah but your risk has gone
down see now my friends i want to circle back
here for a second risk is a four -letter word
that scares people i'm learning this in my new
job i work for and as an insurance adjuster now
what I'm going to tell you is this people like
to what we call risk transfer they like to pass
the buck that's what insurance is by the way
in case you didn't know when you pay your insurance
premium you are transferring the risk of your
car your house your motorcycle your pet insurance
your life insurance whatever it is to the insurance
company hoping that at some point When something,
if something happens, they will foot the bill.
Cause you're transferring that risk for a fee.
But my friends, it's because it works for insurance.
It doesn't mean it works in your life. The women
are not transferring their risk to you by doing
that, by coming to you at age, you know, 28,
30. And you are told, Oh, don't worry about that.
You are ghastly and not caring about the past.
Putting all your hard work is if your hard work,
is it worth anything? And then if you want to
go out there, like for example, when I first
came up with the biblical bachelor lifestyle,
right? Which I got heavily influenced by, um,
CGA shout out to the OG in the space coach, Greg
Adams with his free agent lifestyle. I took more
of a spiritual approach to his idea because I
thought that there was another way to do things
and I don't like doing what everybody else is
doing. I have my own way of doing things. But
when I see that people are using scripture as
a weapon to basically gaslight people and not
caring about reality, that's a problem for me.
Oh, you know what? You as a man, you should not
have sexual leverage. What do I mean by that?
What I mean is, gentlemen, if you are still under
the illusion that the woman you see in church,
the women you see in your small group, the women
you see in your Bible study, if you're still
under the illusion that they are not out here
having sex, I would recommend you give yourself
a serious reality check. Sex for a woman is the
easiest thing she can do. All she got to do is
park them legs and lay there. That's all she
got to do. You as a man, different story. You
can't do that. You got to bring something to
the table. You can't just, you can't just show
up. That's how you go to jail. That is where
women's power truly lies is weaponizing your
sexuality against you, hoping your lust takes
over and helps you look past the bad. investment
that you're about to make I know this might sound
harsh I know this might make you feel slightly
like squeamish and uncomfortable hearing this
I understand that there was a time when that
happened to me too but I want you to pause and
I want you to think through what I've been saying
and you're probably having a reaction you're
probably tempted to turn off the show thinking
you don't like this Austin I don't need this
You're just bitter. You're just hurt. You don't
understand my world different. I don't care what
your excuses I'm not asking you to take everything
I'm saying in face value and ignore what you've
been told over the how many years you've been
on this planet Here's what I'm gonna challenge
you. I'm gonna challenge you to pull your emotions
out of The situation pull them out. Do not let
yourself reject what you are hearing because
of feelings. Now, ladies, if you're listening
to the show, I don't know why. I don't know why
you would be. But if you are, men have their
problems too. Pookie is a problem. Who is Pookie?
Pookie is the degenerate guy, the drug dealer,
the want to be pimp guy. The I lay my game down
flat guy. He's a problem. 100%. He's a problem.
But I'm not here to talk about men's problems
right now. I'm not here to talk about what men
do wrong. If you're coming in here with that
get that shit out of here I don't care about
that get go to go to your channels or y 'all
pretend like y 'all are Reforming women. Meanwhile,
y 'all can't wait to go back to the nightclub.
You can't wait To go out there and hook up with
some dangerous dudes Go go do that. I don't care
what you do But I'll see you here and try to
guess like the man in my comment section who
listen to my show Y 'all already do that every
church in America. You don't need to do that
here. They'll do that on the internet You don't
need me to do that here. I don't want to hear
that crap We talking about the truth here. We
have in a very serious Conversation that I have
never heard discussed like this I've heard discussed
outside the church, but never in no everybody's
afraid Everybody's afraid to go against the grain.
They don't want to be called names. They don't
want to be labeled. Oh, you don't really believe.
Oh, I believe. I just don't cherry pick the way
that you cherry pick. I don't leave things out
that don't make me. Oh, that you left that part
out. Not only about a part out. I bring everything
in because once you break it all down, the Bible
is a very red pill book. Overall, it warns men
against Women let me repeat that in case you
missed it if you go back and you read the Bible
from start to finish There's a lot of free game
in there about warning men about women If you
don't think I'm telling the truth, I challenge
you to go back and I challenge you to really
read it again And again, this is no hate towards
women. I don't hate women at all. I'm trying
to help men understand things that people won't
teach you a lot of people are their red their
red pill ragers they're angry about the system
they're angry at women they're angry at churches
they're angry at everybody i'm not angry i'm
in a place of understanding and it is my desire
to teach you whether you have grown up in the
church or maybe you became a christian last week
i am here to educate you and help you understand
that just because people go to church and they
pray and they mention God and all these things,
that does not mean they stopped being human.
That does not mean that they stopped the shenanigans
that they had when they were not in the walls
of the church. Things don't magically change.
There are still the same problems and the failings.
Society's failed men. Church is right behind
it, if not in front, in my opinion. Because they
have not told you what I'm telling you. They're
not putting y 'all up on game instead of what
they're telling you to do is get married because
marriage is the same word as it was in the Bible
so therefore we got to do it which No, it's not
the same institution at all Actually, you look
at the Old Testament you look at the New Testament
marriage did not say anything about the government
But now it is now it doesn't want the government
now Divorce and adultery back in the day was
punishable by death today. Nope. In fact, you're
actually rewarded for divorcing somebody. You're
celebrated. Oh, you did the right thing. Oh,
I'm so happy for you, girl. You did the right
thing and take your money and your kids. My friends,
what you do with this information is your business.
What I will tell you is You need to educate yourself
and you need to pull your emotions out of The
situation pull your emotions out because when
you're emotional you miss the main point you
miss what's important. I Don't want you to miss
what's important because you feel attacked you
feel a certain type of way your feelings Are
only as real and as relevant as you allow them
to be I am challenging you to not react emotionally
as a man that will make you ahead of the pack.
I encourage you to pick up a copy or the audio
book of the biblical bachelor that will give
you alternatives. You might ask you also what
are the alternatives? What are you offering me
instead? Well, that's what I'm offering you.
I'm offering you a chance to decide for yourself
what you want to do with your life. You don't
have to do what everybody else is doing. And
you also don't have to go from where you are
now to complete the botchery if you don't want
to. What I'm offering you is options as opposed
to the okie doke that tells you you got to go
and do what everybody else does because it's
tradition or it's what the Bible says. The Bible
says a lot of things that people leave out. For
example, where's the accountability today? People
say, oh, the law is outdated. Oh, but all the
commandments are. all the expectations are my
friends we will continue to discuss this topic
in days and months and years to come but what
I'm encouraging you is don't react emotionally
don't let people gaslight you into thinking that
wait a minute something's not right here or maybe
I feel wrong for wanting what I want no you're
not they are wrong for not explaining this free
game to you that I'm explaining to you if you
have any questions you have any concern you have
stories you want to share please please share
them i want to hear them i know other men would
benefit from hearing them till then my friends
you take care of yourselves i'm out of here peace
out
