Gospel Centered Likes and A Call For Honesty

Today's show is sponsored by Curios Consulting. That is Curios with a Y. K -Y -R -I -O -S.

Real estate investing can be intimidating. That's why you don't do it alone. Curios Consulting gets you from no real estate to your first rental property.

My friend Steve did it right here in New Hampshire, and he wants to help other Christians do the same.

No more excuses. The world needs more Christians with passive income, not more passive Christians.

Make it happen. The link is in the description. Good morning. It is Wednesday, the year of our

Lord, 2024, September 25th. Yeah, September 25th.

I got that in reverse. I don't know what was the deal there. But anyway, there was this episode of Seinfeld where George and Jerry are at the car dealership, and it's a whole big thing at the car dealership.

At some point, George gets hungry, so he goes over to the vending machine, and he buys a Twix, but the Twix gets stuck.

You know those vending machines with the little twirly thing, and it gets stuck there. Then he goes to Jerry to get some more money so he can get the

Twix, and it's gone when he gets there. He sees one of the workers eating a

Twix, but the worker claims that he didn't take his Twix.

He claims that there was only one Twix there, and that was that. Anyway, so it's a whole big thing, and George claims that the guy can't identify a

Twix, and he puts together a candy lineup. He puts together a candy lineup, kind of like when the police have a suspect.

He puts the candy bars one, two, three, four, and he's going to try to prove that he stole the Twix by seeing if he can identify a

Twix. He explains the situation to the people. He says he took the last hour to put together this candy lineup, and one of the guys looks at him and says, it took you an hour to do that?

Maybe you had to be there, but it was a good one. It took you an hour to do that? I present to you the candy lineup.

Yeah, man, I got to be straight up with you. I'm not one to tell a guy how to use their time.

We're all given the same amount of time in every day. God blesses us with 24 hours every day.

Men can choose to use that time however they want, and there's some good uses of time, and then there's some, let's just be nice and say, less optimal uses of time.

I'm not usually one to tell you what to do, but man, if you use time like this,

I'm going to mock you mercilessly. It's as simple as that.

Here we have a Twitter account called Thoughtful Orthodoxy, and he's got a candy lineup to present to you.

I don't know how long it took him, but he's done a deep dive, a deep dive of research to talk about how dangerous and off -center

Joel Webbin is, and Brian Sauve, and Eric Kahn. I'm going to try to read this without laughing too much, but we're going to get into it.

Here's what Thoughtful Orthodoxy's candy lineup says. It took you an hour to do that?

All right, all right. He says, hashtag woke right. Previously, I critiqued

Joel Webbin, Brian Sauve, and Eric Kahn for de -emphasizing the gospel in their movement.

Man, there could be nothing worse. I mean, honestly, think about Christianity the last 20 years, and if there's anything that we've learned is that de -emphasizing the gospel is the cardinal sin.

I mean, if you de -emphasize the gospel, you might as well worship Satan. I mean, it's as simple as that.

This is a very serious charge, and he puts that right out up front because he wants you to know this is—he's not kidding.

Sounds like he's not kidding, and he's not. Joel Webbin, Brian Sauve, Eric Kahn for de -emphasizing the gospel in their movement.

I was asked to provide evidence. Over the past 12 months, only 5 .6 % of their posts on X were related to the gospel, and he just—I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall as he does this research.

This is just classic stuff. He puts a little pie chart here in orange and blue.

That's not why I'm wearing orange and blue, but, you know, he puts it in orange and blue, and he wants to show you that 5 .6,

that's a little number. In case you didn't know, 5 .6 % is a small sliver.

It's like the small slice of pizza. 5 .6 post related to the gospel in orange, and then other posts, 94 .4%.

That is damning. I mean, honestly, can you think of anything more damning than that?

Let's go further. He continues. Let's go further. The number of likes a post receives correlates with its impact on your community.

Over the past year, only 1 % of the likes given to them were for posts related to the gospel.

So now not only are we talking about the posts themselves, it's the likes as well, the gospel -centered likes.

He's counting them. You thought you were just liking stuff. Like, you know, I saw a picture, you know, that Mytho America, my favorite account on Twitter.

I mean, I got to be honest with you. A lot of you guys do very well on Twitter. You post good stuff, but nothing compares to Mytho America.

I mean, if you go to my, if you do, maybe someone should do a candy lineup on me just to show you the pie chart of how many times

I retweet and like Mytho America versus gospel -centered content.

I mean, I might be going to hell too. I don't know. 1%.

And in case you weren't sure, 1 % is even a smaller number than 5 .6%.

So he's got that helpful graph here too. Just a little sliver of gospel -centered likes on these posts.

I mean, that shows you the impact that you're having. You know what I mean? Like if you want to know the impact that you're having, look at your likes and then look at the posts that don't have a lot of likes.

And that's how you know that you're in trouble. 1 % of the likes on those three accounts are gospel -centered likes.

The number of views, this is definitely, there's definitely no other explanation for this. That's the other thing.

This is a scientific post. This is more, it's just slightly more scientific than the candy lineup, which was very scientific.

So it's not an insult. The candy lineup was very scientific, but this is even more scientific.

There could be no other explanation for the likes, none, no other explanation besides the fact that Joel and Eric and Brian Sovey, they're probably going to hell.

So just so you know, the number of views a post receives correlates with its impact outside your community.

Over the past year, are you ready for this? Are you ready for this? Because I'm ready. I'm ready to go.

Over the past year, only 0 .6 % of views that they received were for gospel -related content.

And again, we've got to, we've got to pie chart with an even smaller sliver of pizza for the gospel -centered views.

This is the thing. Like, if you really want to know if you're actually doing good work for the Lord, you've got to track your gospel -centered views.

And honestly, this is abysmal, abysmal. There could be no other explanation than the fact that Joel and Brian and Eric, they're not gospel -centered enough.

That's damning, very damning. Let's continue. Let's now break down these statistics by each account.

Ooh, we're getting, we're going to actually see individually how they, how they perform.

And this is good because you had Eric and Joel and Brian, and they were kind of clustered into one dangerous, you know, ball of concern.

But we really should know who our anger should be at most. Like, who's doing the worst, right?

That's what we need to see. So he goes into it. He says, notice how specifically for Eric Kahn and Joel Webben, posting gospel -related content does not provide a return on investment in terms of engagement.

You see what

I mean? This is more scientific in the candy. The candy lineup was pretty rudimentary, but it was still very scientific.

This is much more in -depth. So you got to take your hats off. In fact, I'll take my hat off.

It's a little warm anyway. It's a thoughtful orthodoxy. So here we go.

We've got Eric Kahn. He has 4 .8 gospel -centered posts.

Wait, what? Yeah, 4 .8 gospel -centered posts, but very few likes, gospel -centered likes, and gospel -centered views.

So Eric Kahn is doing very bad. Now, Joel Webben doing slightly better, but not that good either.

Joel Webben, 5 .9 % gospel -centered posts, and that yields 0 .7

and 0 .6. Now, that's actually a lower return, I think. I mean, I'm not a mathematician, but it seems like the return for Joel Webben is even lower.

I mean, maybe Joel Webben is the leader of this satanic group of pastors.

Now, Brian Servais, he's still not good. I mean, only 6 .4 % of his posts are gospel -centered.

It's the most out of everybody, but I think we could all agree, that's not enough. It's not enough. But his gospel -centered posts yield a lot of gospel -centered likes and a lot of gospel -centered views.

Now, these are not, I'm not talking a lot in absolute terms, but just in relative terms, Brian Servais do a lot better, and I think

I know why. I mean, I'm not a scientist or anything, and I haven't done the research, but if I had to guess, you know,

I'm pretty good with the eye test, you know what I mean? I'm good with the eye test. I'm not so good at the research, but if I had to guess,

I think it has to do with his music ministry, right? Because his music ministry, very gospel - centered, at least more so than his posting ministry.

Like Brian Servais' posting ministry, obviously not that gospel -centered, but his music ministry,

I would say, I'm not going to say it's very gospel -centered, but it's gospel -centered. So I think that's why he gets the better return on investment.

The ROI, that's how we say, that's what we call it in the business, the ROI of his gospel -centered posts is higher.

So you got to take your hats off to Brian. In fact, if I had to guess, I think Brian, he's just being kind of carried along by the evil of Eric Kahn and Joel Webbin, you know, but Brian might be an innocent victim.

We might be able to snatch him from the fire, but Joel and Eric, they're gone.

I mean, it's as simple as that. They're gone. So if anything, if this graph tells you anything, that's what it tells you.

Let's continue. How was this done? Oh, he's going to give us some insight into his methodology.

I think that's good. For each of their posts since last September, I gave a large language model.

Oh no. I gave a large language model the attached definition of the gospel and asked if at least one part of it had the clear connection to the gospel.

Here's the PDF for details. I can't even take this seriously.

I really can't. So he gave AI some Bible verses about the gospel, you know,

John 3, 16, 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Corinthians 5,

Galatians 2, you know, the standard stuff, right? The standard stuff. And he said, well, how much of this, how much of this guy's tweets have a clear connection to the gospel,

Mr. AI? Mr. AI, can you please give me, you see what I mean? It's more technical than the candy lineup.

I think if George had AI available to him at the time, he would have come up with a much more technical candy lineup.

And I think he would have caught his guy. How many twigs does that make for you? Like eight twigs?

That car service worker, he had a lot of twigs that day.

I'll tell you that. I will not be going to the PDF for technical details. That's definitely not going to happen.

See here for my previous threads on next social gospel woke, right? Okay. We're not going to do that. So basically the

AI told him, he put in the Bible verses that, you know, the gospel

Bible verses in the, in the AI model. And, and then he, he proved that through the

AI model, he proved that a right response, Brian Sovey and Eric Kahn are de -emphasizing the gospel because they just don't have that enough gospel centered posts, gospel centered likes and gospel centered views.

I mean, oh no.

Oh no. I mean, what can you say about something like this?

I mean, it's, what can you say? I mean, you know, there's like, there's like, there's like, there's like the good kind of autism, you know what

I mean? The good kind of autism where, you know, you've got, you know, extra attention span and you can really dive deep and get, and there's some value to it.

There's a lot of value to certain kinds of autism. In fact, I know many people that are autistic for sure, and maybe diagnosed, maybe not, but it's valuable to them, their autism.

But then there's the candy lineup style where I just can't, for the life of me, understand this kind of a viewpoint.

And, and obviously this resonates with people. I mean, he's got 201. Now, are these gospel centered likes?

I don't know. I'm not really sure if these count as gospel centered likes. I mean, this post itself isn't gospel centered.

I don't know what the view, you got 90 ,000 views. Now these 90 ,000 views, I don't think count as gospel centered views.

In the next one, we've got 40 likes, you know, and 3 ,000 views. These don't count as gospel centered either.

We've got 3 ,000 views here, 30 likes on this one. Definitely not gospel centered. Now this one, on the other hand, you know,

I think he could get credit for this one being gospel centered because he does attach the PDF with the gospel in it.

So I guess he's got 23 gospel centered likes on this thread and 7 .4

thousand gospel centered views. Now I'm not going to do the math on that because that's not really the point, but I don't know.

This, kind of strikes me as, I mean,

I don't know thoughtful orthodoxy, but I'm a little worried about it.

I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. Then of course, you know, you could run a model through the

Bible itself, you know what I mean? Especially like Exodus or not, maybe not

Exodus, but like Leviticus, Deuteronomy, you know what I mean? Maybe you could run the

Bible through that or like Ecclesiastes or something. And, you know,

I'd be, I mean, I'm not, I'm not, I'm no scientist, like I said, but I'd be interested to see how gospel centered the book of Leviticus is.

I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Line by line, if you go line by line, I'm not so sure the book of Leviticus would do very well.

The book of Leviticus is deemphasizing the gospel.

It's a dangerous woke right movement. Whoever takes the book of Leviticus all that seriously.

Oh my goodness. There's just so much you could say about this, but I mean, you can't really take it too seriously. This is just absolutely preposterous, but you know, hey, he ordered up some attention and like I said yesterday or the day before,

I'm just but a humble waiter. So what can I do? What can I do now?

Let's, yeah, this is complete nonsense, obviously. Let's switch gears here for a little bit. I wanted to talk about this because I don't know.

I mean, people are getting real concerned about stuff like this and, you know, it doesn't really, this is an opportunity for me to say

I haven't changed. I've been saying the same thing online since I've been online.

Now that's not actually true. I mean, I have changed. I have been a very honest about some of the things I've changed about in the past and I'm sure

I'll change again at some point. But on this topic, I really haven't changed. I don't get all the concern, you know, coming out over this or all the need to try to like mince words to such a degree where it's just like, is it really necessary?

Is it really necessary to nuance this? Like this is the kind of thing that strikes me as, you know, no quarter

November style, you know what I mean? And by the way, there's nothing magical about November.

No quarter November is fine. I think it's great. But, you know, you can actually just be no quarter always if you want and it's not a sin, right?

Obviously. But I've seen a lot of concern about this and I wonder if my audience shares the concern.

I don't know. I mean, I'm not really sure. Let me know in the comments if you share the concern over stuff like this.

I mean, I personally don't get it at all. So here, reformed crypto dad, 1689 crypto

Chad, who's going to be a dad. So now he's crypto dad. You know, just some guy in the internet doesn't understand why anyone takes him seriously.

He doesn't. I think he's got a lot of interesting things to say. I follow him and I've been following him for a while, at least as far as I remember.

I don't know. I don't really know. I don't really know. But here's what he has to say.

He says, white guys pretended they'd rather hang out with third world believers from India over their white neighbors is wild.

That's all he says is no quarter there, that's for sure. And like, you know, a lot of people are concerned about this kind of thing.

You know, a lot of people say, well, you should prefer Christians over, you know, like your white.

I think the implication here is the white neighbors are pagan. You know, I mean, they're pagan neighbors. And so that shouldn't be the case.

Like if you'd rather hang out with your white pagan neighbor than a third world believer from India, then you don't understand the gospel or you're in sin or, you know, you don't get, you know, the bond that we have in Christ or something like that.

And I don't get it. I really don't get it. This strikes me as a very obvious statement, maybe not a culturally sensitive statement, maybe not an approved statement, but a very obviously correct and true statement.

This is the truth. White Christians, good Bible believing

Christians, even when they say they'd rather hang out with third world believers in India over their white neighbor, do not.

That's actually not the truth. I think we can just be honest about this. There's nothing wrong with this.

Now, I say I've been saying this kind of thing for years, and honestly, I have, maybe not in this exact way, in this exact issue, because this wasn't really an issue we talked about before, but in related issues.

And I'll never forget one of my earliest videos that I ever did. One of my earliest videos, there was this article by this black guy,

Isaac, I think it was Isaac Adams. I'm not mistaken. I could be mistaken on that. Isaac Adams.

He wrote this video about the plight of black women in white spaces. In white spaces, black women feel undervalued.

And it was all this nonsense. And back then I was way less hardcore. So I was real nice about it.

And one of the reasons why black women feel underappreciated or uncomfortable or whatever in white spaces was because that the white guys never asked them out on dates.

And I remember at the time, what I said was that this is just the way of the world.

This is how it works. White guys typically marry white women. Black guys typically marry black women.

This is typically how it goes. And at the time I said, does it mean that if you don't do that, you're in some kind of sin or you're some kind of a freak of nature?

But the truth is white guys prefer white women. Black guys prefer black women.

Puerto Rican black guys prefer Puerto Rican women. It's as simple as that. That's how it's that's the standard.

Now, I'm married to a white woman and I love her and it's great and it's fantastic. And we've got beautiful kids and all this stuff.

Nothing wrong with that. No one's saying, well, some people maybe would say you're in sin. I'm not saying you're in sin, but the typical

Puerto Rican guy, if you just grabbed one out of the Puerto Rican bucket and looked into who they married, chances are they married a

Puerto Rican woman or some kind of Latino. That's the that's that's the statistics.

And so I think we can we can we can make the general statement without, you know, freaking out everybody that in general, people marry within their own kinds.

That's how it goes in general. It's the truth. We can be honest about that.

And all of the pietistic leaders that are freaking out over this basic statement, all of them, most of them,

I'll say most of them are also married to white women. They had their selection of various women that they could pursue and they could court and they could date and all this stuff.

And they chose even in their piety, even in their insistence that they don't see color.

They do. And they chose another white lady. And there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that.

There's also nothing wrong with admitting it. Like, that's the thing. I think a lot of guys will be like, oh, yeah, you're right. There's nothing wrong with that.

A white guy marrying a white woman, a black guy marrying a black woman, a Latino marrying a

Latina. There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. But the minute you say, the minute you admit that you are intentionally selecting that way, you're intentionally doing it.

I want to go find a white lady to marry. The minute you say that, the minute you admit the truth, that's when you cross the line.

That's when you become irredeemable racist. That's insane.

You can just admit it. You can admit it, I looked at the dating pool and I did not go for any black ladies.

That's totally fine. And I remember I told the story. I remember I told the story when I was younger. This was before I was a believer.

And so obviously before I knew my wife, but like, I remember there was a, there was a girl at my job that I was attracted to that I thought was cool, whatever.

We got along great black girl. She was Jamaican. And I, you know, I asked her out and she said no.

And she was real nice about it. And she didn't tell me that this was the reason, but I know from other sources that the reason she said no, it was not because she didn't like me or think

I was valuable or whatever, because I wasn't black. It's as simple as that.

I wasn't black. And you know, I can look at that two ways. I can be like, Oh, what a racist. It's hard to be me.

Or I could just be like, yeah, I get it. I get it. Oh man.

Oh man. It's just like, like, can we just be on it? Honestly, can we just be honest with ourselves here?

Everyone, every one of the people that is all freaking out about reform crypto, Chad's statement here where he's just being honest.

He's just being honest. Everyone freaking out about this. I just be honest with yourself.

Where do you live? Where do you live when you, when you pick the neighborhood, the zip code that you live, where do you live?

Because I'll be straight up with you. My, the zip codes that I picked, they, none of them were, none of them were urban.

None of them, none of them were, you know, neighborhoods full of Mexicans or blacks or Chinese people or Indians or anything like that.

None of them were, I selected the neighborhood I selected not because of race, but because our culture, but because, or what was because of culture actually, or ethnicity or stuff like that.

But because this was the kind of neighborhood that I feel comfortable in. And there are things in this neighborhood that, you know, if we, if we're honest with ourselves are culturally, you know, founded, grounded, it's as simple as that.

And every one of the people that's freaking out, they're too pietistic to admit something like this. They still act this way.

They moved white guys that are all freaking out about this move to a white neighborhood in general, in general, of course, there's going to be exceptions.

And I don't care about that. Of course there'll be exceptions. And I literally cannot, could not care less about the exceptions.

I'm saying in general, if you move to a neighborhood full of white guys like you, why'd you do that?

Why did you do that? And why didn't you check the religious status of your neighbors before you moved in?

Maybe you did. Maybe you did. But if you didn't, and you moved into a neighborhood without knowing it, you know, is this cul -de -sac 80 %

Christian or what? If you did that, then you acted this way.

Even if you won't voice it, you're just as bad as the person who knows that you purposely selected another white lady to marry as opposed to a

Chinese woman or an Asian woman or whatever. You did that intentionally, but you are too afraid to admit it.

And then when people do admit it, you hypocritically call them out and start concern posting like as if your life depended on it.

You're just not being honest with yourself. You're not being honest with yourself.

I didn't move to a black neighborhood and I wasn't thinking at the time, man, I got to avoid those black neighborhoods, but that's what

I did. I did it intentionally because this neighborhood was organized and run and all the way that I was comfortable with.

There's nothing wrong with that. Just like there's nothing wrong with a black person moving to a black neighborhood because that's what they're comfortable with.

This is the thing. It's like this is really not complicated. It's not complicated. And by the way, it has nothing to do with hanging out with other ethnicities because I've done that and it's beautiful.

It's beautiful. You go to Ethiopia. I've been to Ethiopia. I've been to El Salvador and all these things.

And it's beautiful. It's a beautiful moment when you can gather with believers of other ethnicities and you have that deep connection and you could take communion together and you can worship the

Lord together. And there is a connection there. And it's wonderful. And I remember my wife, we're at this orphanage and she created a relationship with this young lady who was there at the orphanage.

She had had a rough life. I mean, a real rough go of it. I mean, it was brutal, the things that she had been through, but she had a lot of joy in the

Lord and we all understood that. And they shared some verses together. And it was difficult because they don't really speak the same language.

So they communicated in a very rudimentary kind of a way, but there was still a bond there.

And everybody that has hung out with believers of other ethnicities and stuff like that, everybody knows that there's this deep connection and it's wonderful.

It's wonderful. But likewise, people also know, just like Reform Crypto Chad here, that everything in their life, everything that they've done, the way they organize their house, the way they keep their house, the way they operate in public, the way they get together and play baseball instead of soccer, everything that they do, the way that they organize their lives, the way they organize their church, all shows what their preferences are, what they're comfortable with.

I mean, I thought we'd been through this before. We've been through this before. Remember when the idiots would be like, oh, you know how

I know your church is racist? Because you only sing those English songs and you organize your service in an

English way and all this kind of stuff. That's how I know you're right. You don't even sing any hip -hop. You don't even sing any

Christian hip -hop or anything like that. Oh my goodness. You start church on time? That's just culturally insensitive.

Lots of people in Africa, they don't start church on time. They don't keep time the same way we do. Oh, you're racist.

We've been through this before and everybody knew that was insane. Everybody knew. It's okay for a church to be basically

Anglo. We all get that. We all know that. I'm not telling you anything new. But that betrays something.

I mean, it betrays is a nasty word, but it shows something. It shows that your behavior is in line with what

Reform Crypto Chat is saying, even as you're pretend concern posting that this is like the most racist thing you ever heard.

I just don't get it. I don't get it. Yeah, I would love to visit an

African church and I have before. I'd love to visit, but I'm not comfortable there necessarily.

It's not because I don't have a connection with these people. That's why I visited because I do have a connection with these people. But it's okay for my tradition, my experience, my preferences to be more in line with a typical

New England church. That's okay. Cause this is where I grew up. This is where I was raised here.

And so if I had a church, you know, and I was in, I was in New England and I, you know,

I was, you know, one of the founding families of a church or whatever you want to call it. Chances are my church would look similar to other

New England churches because I'm in New England. This is the neighborhood

I chose. I chose to live here. People act like, well, I just like got dropped out of an airplane and I landed here.

And so I guess I'm here. No, no. You chose to live where you are. People acting like they don't choose to live where they live.

You chose where you live, your zip code, which is probably, probably hear me saying, probably demographically similar to you.

There's no reason to deny it. There's no reason to deny it. And again, I don't care about the exceptions.

And of course, there's some people that live in the city and stuff like that, where it's very diverse and all this kind of stuff.

But you know what? You probably don't live in Chinatown. So even in the cities, even in the cities, you selected a certain neighborhood and it does you no good to pretend like you didn't select it.

You did select it. You selected it because it was what you're comfortable with. It's what you prefer.

It's what you'd rather do. It's who you'd rather hang out with. There's nothing wrong with that.

And I recognize that my life is a little bit, I'm in a privileged position in some ways, because I have the benefit of being

Puerto Rican. You guys might not see that as a benefit, but I do. And so I feel pretty comfortable in a variety of ethnic contexts.

You know what I mean? I do. I mean, I've told the story many times. I was at the wedding in the Dominican. And the wedding was a

Dominican. It was a Dominican lady, an Italian guy. They got married. And during the parties beforehand, the pre -parties and all the stuff that they do at weddings,

I hung out at the Dominican tables. That's what I did. I was comfortable with that. I liked that. Those were the people

I got along with. They reminded me of my family. It was fun. I feel like I would have been pretty comfortable at the white tables as well, but this is the choice

I made. I made that choice. And it wasn't because I hated white people. It wasn't because I thought white people were less than.

It's just because I made a choice. I made a choice. Can we just have a little honesty, just a little honesty?

That's what I would prefer. Because even if you're not honest, your actions, your behavior, it's all honest.

Your actions are honest, even if you're not willing to be honest. Even if you're not willing to be honest.

It's the thing. Yeah, if we're just hanging out watching a baseball game or having a barbecue or something, yeah,

I'm going to hang out with the people that I'm comfortable with. I live in a white neighborhood. That's who I'm uncomfortable with.

I moved here on purpose. But if we're going to church and taking communion, of course

I would not do that with a pagan white neighbor. I would not do that. So we don't have the fundamental kind of in our soul connection, but I'm a

New England guy. I do have a connection to other New England guys. And it's just natural.

You meet someone. I met tons of people in Florida that were from New England and instantly you knew you had some things in common with them.

You had some things in common with them. Maybe they were more superficial for your taste, but they're real.

And I don't think they're totally superficial. I think that there's some of it that's superficial, but some of it isn't.

Some of it is deeper than that. And some of those things that I have in common with another

New Englander, a random New Englander, I don't have in common with a third world believer from India.

But fundamentally, we are both in Christ. We have something tremendously fundamental and foundational in common.

And that's why I can share the communion meal with them. That's why I can share that kind of fellowship with them.

I can. But on any given day, I mean, I don't live in Little Delhi.

And I don't live there intentionally. It's an intentional choice. Don't stop acting like where you live is just random.

Who you decided to marry is just like this random thing. Oh, you know, I totally gave every other ethnicity a chance, but I just chose this because this is the person

God had for me. Listen, you can try to fool yourself, but we all know you're just fooling yourself.

You selected who you married. You selected where you live. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Just like I did. Just like I did. I selected my wife. She had to go along with it.

But, you know, it takes two to tango. Anyway, guys,

I really do think we just need to have a little honesty. And this is why I call this Woke Wars 2 or Woke Wars 3 or whatever, because it's the same foundational issues.

Dressed up a little different, but fundamentally, it's the same. I'm just looking for a little honesty here.

I really am. That's it. That's it. Anyway, I hope you found this video helpful.
