You seem to be ahead of the curve in identifying the threat of critical race theory within the church.

00:19

Yeah. What would you guess is the next wave? I personally believe that the end of critical race theory in the church intersectionality is deconstruction.

00:30

And I think we're in that now. So the reason that we saw these things in the church, and this is the answer

00:39

I give to people so you should know, babe, is...

00:44

Well maybe he knew your answer was so good that he was like, you definitely have to ask this. So the reason that we saw intersectionality,

00:53

I think, before, you know, I was explaining to my dad what it was years before he actually had to deal with it in the areas that he works in, is because it's a social contagion.

01:10

It's a social phenomena, which means it takes root in the women's groups first.

01:17

It does. Because it's a social phenomena. That's what happens. Because we were busy in women's groups.

01:24

That's why we saw it first. And what I can tell you now, without naming names, is that I can think of a handful of women that I personally knew,

01:39

Christians. They were the ones that I saw talking about intersectionality, intersections, intersections, intersections.

01:46

I can think of a handful of them that are no longer, would no longer claim to be

01:51

Christians. I can think of another handful of them that are now, were on the same page as me.

02:00

Very conservative leaning. They would now say they're progressive Christians. And so I think intersectionality,

02:09

CRT, all of that ultimately leads to deconstruction. That's the point. So if you look at what those systems, the whole point of those systems is meant to deconstruct.

02:20

And that is where they've all ended up. It's like an exposure wave. It's very revelatory, but in a good way.

02:30

Because you can look around and much more clearly see. After I would say decades of everyone kind of being a

02:40

Christian, it's like, well, but how do we, how can you actually be a

02:45

Christian? How can you actually preach the gospel? If, if everyone's just a

02:50

Christian in name, but really they just believe what they personally feel like works best or sounds good or a placates to their cowardice or whatever.

03:02

Yeah. But you definitely start to see like the stakes get higher and that might seem a little scary and like the deconstruction might seem a little scary, but what it's actually doing is it's revealing.

03:13

Right. It's just revealing who actually isn't a believer. It's firming up our faith, firming up what we believe to be true.

03:21

Right. Yeah. There's, there's a blessing in apostasy because it's a cleaning out. It's a cleaning house.

03:28

And I do think that in a way, CRT and intersectionality becoming, was a house clean.

03:35

And it is good to know who's on your team. And I think, you know, a lot of times what you hear from the deconstructionist is, oh, you know, that's, that's what they do.

03:45

It's so closed. It's so exclusive and you know, only certain kinds of people. And it's like, well, as far as I'm concerned, there's only two kinds of people in the world, believers and non -believers.

03:54

Right. Jesus said, if you're with me, you're with me. If you're not with me, you're against me. Right. If you're for Jesus, then

04:00

I'm for you. We're on the same team. Either God is your father or he's your enemy.

04:07

And that really does separate us. But yeah, what's next? I mean, the split is next.

04:15

And we're going to have to, we're going to have more people asking questions like the first one.

04:23

And, you know, what do I do if I'm going to lose my job? What do I do in these situations? And I think, you know, times like that really do show us who our friends are.

04:31

Well, yeah, that's, I mean, that's the type of situation where, like, praise

04:37

God for that firming up. Yeah. Like, if you can be firmed up five years before everything happens and collapses or, you know, the big earthquake, like, that's,

04:52

I mean, praise God. Praise God for that. And we will need our strength.

04:59

And I know there's obviously debate about how much strength we'll need and whether it'll be, like, how deep things will go.

05:10

Yeah. But, you know, just economically, socially, politically, all that.

05:19

So what's next? Apostasy and then the strengthening. And that's a very post -mill outlook for you.
