00:29

Seriously grieving and weeping in my heart on the inside for about oh I don't know four years five years something like that And I gotta say that today all of that grief has turned into joy so much drama to get my favorite

00:47

Scarf on you know this scarf came from from a factory that makes

At the reform pub. I'm just so grateful. Let me just read to you. What has got me feel so Just I just feel flourishing today.

01:25

Pat on the back here. Let me just read to you. I'm not gonna show it on the screen That would be inappropriate, but I'm just gonna read to you.

01:32

What has happened to make me feel Pubsters this is this this is a message from the administration of the reformed pub

01:49

Pubsters there are a number of topics that the administrators of the group have decided are not fruitful for Conversation in the reform pub

01:57

I agree. I agree there are so much about talking through issues talking through controversies

02:05

That's just it's just not in line with human flourishing. I mean we all understand that right

02:10

I mean we're looking for good fruit good fruit a good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree

02:17

Can only bear bad fruit and so we know that there are certain conversations that are bad trees and therefore

02:25

Yield bad fruit. Let me go on to continue. This is absolutely amazing

02:32

Although we recognize that Doug Wilson The name itself it just triggers me calm down Doug Wilson is a figure that exists within that orbit of reformed theology

02:46

For a variety of reasons we have observed that threads related to him are not productive in our group for this reason and In many others we have decided that references to Doug Wilson are deleted

03:01

Bravo sirs Bravo for your courage Bravo for your courage because even seeing the name it

03:09

It takes me to that place and it's not in line with human flourishing.

03:15

It's not For this reason and many others we've decided that references to Are deleted although this does not by definition extend to those in his circles his family

03:27

CREC churches and pastors and other associates. We sometimes delete those as well Well, I have to say good on you because even just the last name even just seeing the last name

03:39

I'm not gonna even say it. I'm not gonna say today's a good day Today's a good day, but even seeing his last name or the names of his associates even that does real damage

03:50

Real damage. It's not fruitful to see that stuff. It's not fruitful. And so I'm so grateful that we have such

03:58

Courageous defenders to defend our minds because we don't want to be twisted in our minds by seeing that name

04:05

That name that has done so much damage in our churches that name that has has has hurt so many people

04:12

So many so many good brothers and sisters in Christ I've been hurt by that names opinions

04:21

And so I'm so grateful. I feel so winsome today. So winsome. It's a little warm actually imitate mine

04:29

Too much human flourishing sometimes this makes you a little warm We delete those as well, thank you for your cooperation and compliance if you have any questions, please reach out to an admin

04:41

I'm so grateful that the openness about this. That's what I love about this the transparency About this policy and the willingness to talk if you have questions reach out to an admin they are just open to hearing any questions that anyone with any concern has over this very

04:59

Excellent policy because if there's one thing that Christians need is is they need to be defended They need to be defended and coddled from all of that serious serious

05:11

Unwinsome Serrated error that is just constantly being pumped into the reform pub

05:17

I'm so grateful that finally someone is taking a stand Someone is taking a stand, you know

05:22

I know that that over in the beginning reform pub was supposed to be like a pub you know where you could you could kick around ideas and and sometimes it can be a little boisterous and things like that and But this is unacceptable even for a pub even for a pub to see a name that is just so Synonymous with triggering

05:42

Synonymous with with with with the lack of human flourishing. I mean you look at look at that family

05:47

I'm not even gonna say the name. I almost said it and I even got flashbacks PTSD flashbacks

05:52

I'm even almost saying the name but look at his family That family is not flourishing.

05:57

That's the opposite of flourishing. It's a counterfeit flourishing It's definitely not winsome and anyone associated with them is in many ways very problematic and very toxic

06:14

I'm so grateful for the leadership at the reform pub because even seeing the name is just unacceptable at this point

06:20

We've grown we've grown as a body. We've grown as a society We know that we don't have to see stuff that upsets us

06:29

We don't have to see stuff that offends us or that contradicts us. We don't have to see that stuff and I'm grateful for Tony and the group taking the lead of from Mark Zuckerberg and from the

06:41

Washington Post and from the ERLC And from the gospel coalition to to protect people.

06:47

This is about human flourishing and if you disagree with this well, then you're practically a

06:52

Nazi You must love Donald Trump as well. And we we understand we know that a

06:59

Christian ought to be better we ought to do better and Everything that we do should be in line with human flourishing and that man

07:09

Is problematic That man has done so much damage and I'm so grateful that we have such kind pubs shepherds

07:22

Such courageous men of God that will protect us from opinions that we don't agree with I'm so grateful for it.

07:29

And today it is a winsome November Thank you

07:37

Thank you from the bottom of my winsome heart Cheers soy lattes for all.
