=== White Boy Summer Origins (12:03) ===

[00:00:03]  Welcome.
[00:00:03]  It's June 19th.
[00:00:05]  It's a notable day, Charles Spurgeon's birthday.
[00:00:08]  It's also notable in the sense that we are at high noon here in white boy summer.
[00:00:13]  A familiar feeling is in the air as white boy summer returns once again.
[00:00:18]  For some, it's a humorous and enjoyable way to commemorate and celebrate the Anglo Saxon heritage of the West.
[00:00:26]  But for others, it's viewed as a harbinger of immaturity and needless race essentialism.
[00:00:33]  So, which one is it?
[00:00:34]  A Psyop and a Grift, or a good and godly way to obey the fifth commandment.
[00:00:40]  Enjoy this video for your viewing pleasure.
[00:03:04]  Well, hope you guys enjoyed that video.
[00:03:06]  I certainly did.
[00:03:07]  I feel like I probably honestly watch it about just once a month.
[00:03:10]  Honestly, it's motivating.
[00:03:12]  It's the same as Christmas music.
[00:03:13]  You know, it could be mid July and I find myself listening to Frank Sinatra at the Christmas album.
[00:03:17]  And so too, it could be mid December.
[00:03:19]  And every now and then you just got to need some pre workout.
[00:03:22]  You're out of monster energy drinks.
[00:03:25]  So, welcome.
[00:03:25]  We're going to be discussing White Boy Summer.
[00:03:27]  I'm going to lay out some definitions.
[00:03:29]  We're also going to talk about natural affection as a category.
[00:03:32]  So, natural affection, honoring them, the fifth commandment.
[00:03:35]  But first of all, maybe for some of you who are online less than we are, you're saying, What is white boy summer?
[00:03:40]  What is summer?
[00:03:40]  I've never heard this term before.
[00:03:42]  White supremacy summer?
[00:03:43]  Is that what you're talking about?
[00:03:44]  Well, there's three words in there, and there's two of them that I don't think people have a lot of concern with.
[00:03:49]  It's the white part.
[00:03:50]  They're okay with boy, they're okay with summer.
[00:03:52]  Yeah, boy and summer.
[00:03:52]  Yeah, it sounds great.
[00:03:53]  Cannot stand whitey.
[00:03:55]  White boy summer.
[00:03:56]  So, white boy summer, I'm going to borrow a definition.
[00:03:58]  This is from YouTuber James Anderson White.
[00:04:00]  He puts out some good stuff.
[00:04:01]  He said this So, you're brand new to white boy summer.
[00:04:04]  You clicked on this video because you love us, but you have no idea what the topic is.
[00:04:07]  Let me lay out a definition.
[00:04:09]  White Boy Summer, a mindset which is uniquely Christian and European in culture that promotes male fellowship, competition, and self improvement, primarily in but not limited to the summer season.
[00:04:21]  And again, credit for that goes to James Anderson White.
[00:04:25]  So, broadly speaking, this is 2021.
[00:04:27]  It was a song.
[00:04:27]  It's actually Tom Hanks' son.
[00:04:30]  He riffed off of the idea of Hot Girl Summer and put out a song, did some promotional stuff on White Boy Summer.
[00:04:36]  It's crass.
[00:04:37]  I mean, frat culture is cringe.
[00:04:39]  If you're partying and drinking, like, what's the move tonight, bro?
[00:04:41]  The move is go start a family.
[00:04:43]  Enough of this drinking, enough of this partying.
[00:04:45]  So, the source material, I would say, though, has been quickly eclipsed.
[00:04:47]  Nobody references that song anymore.
[00:04:49]  That's not what we're talking about.
[00:04:51]  But what's been adopted by certain members in our tribe, come to our conferences, they're Christian.
[00:04:58]  And they say there's a positive aspect, again, Christian and European culture, that during the summer season, we want to celebrate.
[00:05:06]  Now, certainly, there are individuals that have taken it and made memes or different ideas out of it.
[00:05:11]  That are not Christian.
[00:05:11]  And to those, we would reject them.
[00:05:13]  When we're talking about White Boy Summer, as far as we're talking about it, as far as others in our camp would talk about it, we're talking about a positive expression of Christian European Western culture in the celebration of our fathers, of our heritage, of the good that they left us, not everything about it, but the good that they left us, and hope for the continuance of it, the continuance of the West, the continuance of European culture, and most essentially Christianity.
[00:05:39]  Right.
[00:05:39]  Right out of the gate, like in the comments, I'm looking here, Will Nelson says, I don't think it's wise, and for the record, I'm not going to pick on you, Will.
[00:05:46]  I don't think it's terrible what you're saying.
[00:05:48]  But he says, I don't think it's wise for a church to use this.
[00:05:51]  It's too easily misunderstood.
[00:05:53]  One thing to address that, one thing that I learned fairly early on in preaching was, you know, every now and then I would make a short, brief reference to something that, you know, on the surface might be, you know, too spicy, too controversial.
[00:06:12]  People might take it the wrong way.
[00:06:13]  And what I realized is, you know what?
[00:06:15]  It's Perfectly fine to do that.
[00:06:18]  Number one, an argument can be made for just saying something brief that's controversial, and it may be permissible in some cases.
[00:06:25]  But beyond that, what I realized is if I'm going to, if I'm going to, you know, peel back something that's going to wow people, shock people, there's going to be, you know, a shock appeal, I need to make sure that in the sermon that I actually have time to address that so that I'm not, it's not just a fly by, you know, like a drive by shooting.
[00:06:44]  So it's just like, you know, bam, white boy summer.
[00:06:48]  So we thought about that.
[00:06:49]  So, to be real clear here for Will, who said, I don't think it's wise for a church to do the white boy summer thing, it's too easily misunderstood.
[00:06:56]  So let me counter that by saying number one, I have not done any reference to White Boy Summer in a sermon ever, and probably never will.
[00:07:07]  I've never done it even in a podcast or anything.
[00:07:10]  The closest that I got to it wasn't volitional, but I spoke at the New Christendom Conference and some other generous gentlemen, some anons, not to be named, decided to go ahead and take a picture of me and Stephen Wolfe and Brian Sauvay and Joe Rigney and Chase Davis.
[00:07:27]  And put us in pit vipers, you know, and do the 80s kind of, you know, style with the background and say, you know, peak white boy summer.
[00:07:34]  But the point is, even that I didn't do.
[00:07:36]  It was just done by somebody else.
[00:07:38]  And so this is actually the first time with Right Response Ministries, as far as I'm pretty sure I would have remembered if it had been done before.
[00:07:45]  But this is the first time that there's been any reference to white boy summer.
[00:07:49]  And, you know, take that in for a moment.
[00:07:52]  It's been, what, three years now?
[00:07:53]  Four years?
[00:07:53]  2021, three years.
[00:07:55]  So it's been three years.
[00:07:56]  This is the first reference that there's ever been.
[00:07:58]  And what you'll notice is we did not play the White Boy Summer video in mid May, the beginning of summer, or the beginning of June, and throw on Pit Vipers.
[00:08:08]  That's immature.
[00:08:09]  We want to wear Pit Vipers.
[00:08:11]  And so if you're listening on podcasts, Spotify or Apple, I promise you, we are not wearing Pit Vipers.
[00:08:17]  Don't imagine us like that.
[00:08:18]  Don't imagine that.
[00:08:19]  That would be racist.
[00:08:20]  Don't do that.
[00:08:21]  But the point is that we didn't have a random podcast on post millennialism or whatever and then just throw on Pit Vipers for 30 seconds and play the White Boy Summer.
[00:08:31]  Video that we just played for you, and then move on with another episode.
[00:08:34]  That would be, I think, what I would like into the drive by shooting.
[00:08:39]  Again, doesn't mean it's always wrong.
[00:08:41]  So I'm not saying if anybody does that, it's immoral.
[00:08:43]  But I'm just saying for Right Response Ministries, our first showcasing of White Boy Summer is yeah, a little humor, yeah, a video, you know, but then also, and not Pit Vipers, we wouldn't do that, but a video, a little bit of humor, and then what you're about to buckle up for 45 minutes plus of explaining.
[00:09:03]  Right.
[00:09:03]  Defining terms why we think not only white boy summer is permissible, but actually a general overall good.
[00:09:12]  And why, no matter what ethnicity you are, number one, no matter what ethnicity you are, welcome to white boy summer.
[00:09:19]  I think that you're included.
[00:09:20]  You're welcome to join Clarence Thomas.
[00:09:23]  You know, he could be the mascot of white boy summer.
[00:09:25]  I would invite him to do that.
[00:09:27]  But beyond that, even not just with all ethnicities, welcome to white boy summer, but also more importantly, from a biblical standpoint, this is what we want to get into with natural.
[00:09:36]  Affections with honoring fathers and the fifth commandment, all ethnicities are also welcome to honor their fathers and their heritage and their culture with one caveat, one disclaimer, insofar as those specific elements of their culture honor Christ.
[00:09:54]  And that's one of the things that we're going to get into with White Boy Summer and this whole fifth commandment and natural affections and heritage America and all these things.
[00:10:03]  I hope that by this point, conservatives, now, sadly, many conservatives are, you know, Air quotes, conservatives.
[00:10:09]  They're not really conservative.
[00:10:11]  They're conserving nothing.
[00:10:12]  But a true conservative, biblical, Bible loving Christian, hopefully by this point, has recognized that all cultures are not equal.
[00:10:21]  Hopefully that's not shocking for anybody here.
[00:10:23]  All cultures are not equal.
[00:10:24]  Like I remember doing a mission trip that I shouldn't have been on.
[00:10:27]  All right.
[00:10:28]  So I'll get that out of the way.
[00:10:29]  I was 16.
[00:10:30]  Right.
[00:10:31]  So short term youth group missions trips.
[00:10:35]  If your church does that, feel free to stop immediately.
[00:10:38]  That's an absolute.
[00:10:39]  You do not need 16 year olds to make balloon animals at an orphanage.
[00:10:43]  You could just take all the money that I wasted on a flight for my ignorant, you know, teenage self to go, you know, to Kenya and Tanzania.
[00:10:52]  Could have taken that money and actually, you know, put it to use, give it to Vodi Bakum and Conrad Mbewe in Zimbabwe with their seminary, whatever.
[00:10:58]  But I was on this mission trip, although I probably shouldn't have been.
[00:11:01]  I was on it nonetheless.
[00:11:02]  And I quickly realized, hey, it's not just that Kenya and Tanzania have different cultures, they have worse cultures.
[00:11:12]  Worse.
[00:11:13]  We could, we could barely, the minister that I was with, he could barely preach a sermon.
[00:11:18]  Because there was no clear time when people showed up on Sunday to church.
[00:11:22]  And not because a clear time hadn't been stated.
[00:11:24]  The church had a time, and we had done door to door evangelism that whole week leading up to the revival event and telling people the time, not just telling them where it is and what it is, but when it is.
[00:11:37]  We told them this place at this time, and nobody, and it wasn't that people didn't desire to be there.
[00:11:43]  So it wasn't like, well, nobody came because they're not interested.
[00:11:46]  No, everybody was interested and real serious interest in the preaching of the gospel.
[00:11:51]  What it looked like was arriving three hours late.
[00:11:54]  That's what it looked like in that culture.
[00:11:55]  Now, that's not a difference of culture.
[00:11:57]  That's an inferior culture, at least in that specific regard.
[00:12:02]  Showing up on time, if that's whiteness, well, no, no, no, hold up.

=== Honoring Anglo Protestant Roots (09:15) ===

[00:12:07]  That's Christian.
[00:12:08]  And insofar as Anglo Protestants, which are predominantly, historically, were predominantly white Western culture, insofar as they modeled timeliness and promptness, well, what does that signify?
[00:12:19]  It signifies respect for others, respect towards others.
[00:12:24]  And insofar as that is esteemed within a culture, respect for others through promptness and timeliness, well, then what you have ultimately being esteemed is a Christian characteristic.
[00:12:35]  And so you can say that in this particular culture, it is mirroring a Christian worldview.
[00:12:41]  And so that particular characteristic of that culture is something that you can say, that's great.
[00:12:46]  And so again, all ethnicities feel free to celebrate white boy summer, but also from a biblical standpoint, don't just feel free like it's allowed, but you should be compelled by the fifth.
[00:12:57]  Commandment, not just suggestion, but commandment to honor your fathers.
[00:13:02]  And you have spiritual fathers, which means if you're black, your spiritual father, John Calvin is one of your spiritual fathers.
[00:13:08]  So honor him.
[00:13:09]  But you also have not just spiritual fathers, but there are ancient fathers and there are also ethnic, familial fathers.
[00:13:17]  And for you to honor them, but here's the thing about honoring them when it comes to honoring our fathers, there is no honor through flattery, flattery is a sin.
[00:13:28]  So, you cannot look at your father, whether it be your actual father, you cannot look at your father who's a boomer.
[00:13:34]  And let's say that he really messed up in some of the stereotypical boomer ways that are stereotypes for a reason.
[00:13:41]  Let's say he did some things that were really good, right?
[00:13:43]  He was a lone bulwark along with all the rest of the boomers against gay rights and against whatever liberal politics.
[00:13:53]  But there were some other areas where he missed the boat and fell short.
[00:13:58]  You are not allowed, it is not honoring.
[00:14:00]  And it is a sin to tell your father, I really respect blank about you.
[00:14:06]  And that thing that you list is something that he actually did poorly.
[00:14:09]  He didn't do.
[00:14:11]  When Noah, his two sons, one of them was a deadbeat, but the two sons that were righteous, when they honor their father, they're obeying the fifth commandment.
[00:14:19]  When he's passed out drunk in the tent because he drank too much wine and he's naked, they don't honor him by waking him up and saying, Dad, you look really distinguished today.
[00:14:29]  Right?
[00:14:30]  That would be lying, flattering.
[00:14:32]  And flattering is not.
[00:14:33]  Honoring.
[00:14:34]  Instead, what do you do with your fathers when it comes to the shameful elements of your fathers?
[00:14:39]  The way you honor your father in the arena of his shame is that you don't flatter and call shame glorious because it's not, but instead you cover the shame and then you give credence.
[00:14:51]  You make the shame a footnote and you cover it and you give credence and headline to whatever was good about your father.
[00:14:59]  And so with White Boy Summer, part of it, there's a lot, but part of it is honoring the Western Anglo Protestant heritage.
[00:15:10]  And the reality is this there is a lot to honor.
[00:15:13]  Yep.
[00:15:14]  So, we don't want to flatter and say that certain things that were bad were actually really good.
[00:15:19]  But here's the deal.
[00:15:21]  Without getting technical, just on its face, Anglo Protestant culture has a ton to honor.
[00:15:27]  And I would argue that at least in the last 500 years, so I'm not talking about pre flood, antediluvian world, or before Christ, or who knows.
[00:15:35]  But at least in the last 500 years, and I technically would argue the last 1500 years, Constantine, and then, you know, that'd be 1500 years.
[00:15:42]  And then from King Alfred, that'd be 1,000 years.
[00:15:44]  The last 500 years would be the Reformation, at least 500.
[00:15:48]  Probably a thousand, probably 1500.
[00:15:50]  I would say not only is it a particularly honorable culture, but I would argue that it's the best culture.
[00:15:57]  And here's the deal, and we're going to get into this.
[00:15:59]  It's not merely the best culture, in my opinion, because it's my culture or my heritage.
[00:16:05]  No, it is the best culture, historically speaking, because it is the one that for these last 500 to 1500 years has most closely modeled the Christian worldview.
[00:16:17]  That's what made it great.
[00:16:19]  You want to make America great again, make it Christian again.
[00:16:22]  Bringing back the Christian roots.
[00:16:24]  That's what's so glorious about all the cathedrals that were built and all the art that was produced and all these things were right alongside, and not by coincidence, but by design.
[00:16:34]  They were right alongside preaching, revival, wholesome families.
[00:16:41]  It mirrored Christ.
[00:16:42]  And so it should be honored.
[00:16:44]  This is a fifth commandment.
[00:16:45]  Not only, I'll leave it with this and I'll go back to you guys.
[00:16:48]  Not only is it okay to be white, it is good.
[00:16:52]  To be white.
[00:16:53]  In the same way that Michael Foster wrote a book saying, it's not just permissible to be a man, right?
[00:16:57]  There's a war on masculinity.
[00:16:58]  So somebody needs to say, it's okay to be a man, but you know what?
[00:17:01]  Let's do them one better.
[00:17:02]  Biblically speaking, it's not just permissible or okay to be a man.
[00:17:06]  You have to.
[00:17:07]  It's good to be a man if you're a man.
[00:17:09]  Likewise, it's not just okay or permissible to be white.
[00:17:12]  It's good to be white.
[00:17:13]  And you might be saying, again, you're making it about race.
[00:17:16]  What does that matter?
[00:17:17]  Think of what Paul says in Romans chapter 9.
[00:17:19]  He says, look, when it comes to salvation and eternal value and merit, the flesh is of no account, right?
[00:17:25]  So it's covenant.
[00:17:27]  It's not blood, it's not ethnicity, it's covenant.
[00:17:30]  And after making all those arguments, then what does Paul say?
[00:17:33]  So, what advantage is there in being a Jew?
[00:17:35]  And you would expect him to say this none.
[00:17:38]  But he doesn't say that.
[00:17:39]  Instead, he says, What advantage is there in being a Jew?
[00:17:42]  Much in every way.
[00:17:43]  For theirs are the patriarchs, the prophets, and the law.
[00:17:47]  So, what advantage is there in being an Anglo Protestant?
[00:17:50]  Much in every way.
[00:17:51]  For theirs are the reformers, theirs are the Puritans, theirs is Aquinas, theirs is Calvin, theirs is Luther, theirs.
[00:17:58]  Yeah.
[00:17:59]  And we should be proud of that.
[00:18:01]  And everyone who's not white can also be proud of that, saying, Yeah, but covenantally, these are my people.
[00:18:06]  In the same way that Ruth said to her mother in law, Naomi, from now on, I know I'm a Moabitess, but from now on, covenantally speaking, a familial speaking, your people will be my people and your God, my God.
[00:18:18]  And so everyone is welcome to celebrate White Boy Summer, which I do believe it may have started off with not the best intentions.
[00:18:26]  I don't think it was nefarious, but it wasn't particularly righteous, but it has been sufficiently.
[00:18:31]  And in the true spirit of the post millennial hope, it has been sufficiently hijacked by the Christian right.
[00:18:37]  God bless it.
[00:18:38]  And so, in the same way that Charles Dickens, you know, he would say, Bob Cratchit, you know, I say that this Christmas is merry and I wish you a merry Christmas.
[00:18:45]  I say that this white boy summer is a glorious and righteous white boy summer and I wish you to be happy and merry upon it.
[00:18:51]  All right.
[00:18:52]  That's my spiel.
[00:18:53]  Amen.
[00:18:53]  Michael, any thoughts?
[00:18:54]  Well, yes, there is a certain sense where what has come out of the Anglo Protestant tradition. Is quickly being lost.
[00:19:10]  And some people will blame it on modernity, but it's not just modernity.
[00:19:13]  There is a sense where brave, courageous, competent, virtuous men that the Anglo Protestant culture produced are not only the most effective for stewarding the world, for fighting back evil, and for advancing the kingdom of Christ, but also it's not a coincidence that that kind of man produced the most prosperous.
[00:19:43]  Evangelical, godly society that has existed before.
[00:19:46]  And in that video where you quoted the definition from earlier, Wes, he said sometimes we talk about white privilege.
[00:19:53]  And he said that's true in one sense.
[00:19:56]  White privilege is, white male privilege has been traditionally the privilege of fighting the global homo jihad, communist, Marxist, godless efforts to replace Christianity as the dominant perspective in the West.
[00:20:14]  And so when we talk about White Boy Summer, there's both a carefree Tom Sawyer aspect to it.
[00:20:20]  Huckleberry Finn.
[00:20:21]  Huckleberry Finn of going out and having an adventure.
[00:20:24]  Right.
[00:20:26]  Being a little bit reckless.
[00:20:29]  Maybe rambunctious is a better word than reckless.
[00:20:32]  But there's also a very serious side of it of wanting to be part of a fraternity of men who seek competence, virtue, and righteousness, and who want to do it.
[00:20:44]  Publicly, in a way that honors the competent, virtuous men who came before us and made us who we are now.
[00:20:50]  And that's why, to me, I'm a little late to the game with White Boy Summer, but it's a really interesting idea to me because it has that careless outdoor adventure, you know, the tradition of going to the lake, not the resort on the lake, but really going out and roughing it with your family, with your dad.
[00:21:07]  Tying together some sticks and trying to build a little raft and bringing your net with you and trying to catch snakes, you know, on the bank and like.
[00:21:14]  Yeah, that's also of serious reflection and being thankful and honoring where we've come from.
[00:21:21]  I think I said this to you about a year ago.

=== Exclusive Early Registration Deal (03:16) ===

[00:21:22]  We were talking about this video, and I said, Notice in the video, so it's Christians making a video and they're celebrating, but not everyone on there is a pastor.
[00:21:30]  I mean, there's rock stars, there's sports team members, blanking on it, there's wrestlers, there's competition, there's a whole kaleidoscope of great men.
[00:21:40]  And it's not just the greatest thing that the West has to offer, these academics and these theologians and these pastors.
[00:21:46]  There's a kaleidoscope of generals, of leaders, all across that.
[00:21:49]  And that's something else that White Boy Summer does really well.
[00:21:52]  Personal fitness is a great thing to strive for, to be strong, to master your body, to be disciplined.
[00:21:58]  It has families.
[00:21:59]  We saw kids.
[00:22:00]  I want to live again.
[00:22:01]  He's coming down the stairs.
[00:22:02]  I think it's from a wonderful life, right?
[00:22:03]  Yeah, it is.
[00:22:04]  He's reunited with his family.
[00:22:06]  So it emphasizes family and competition and striving and physical fitness.
[00:22:10]  Those are some other things.
[00:22:11]  You mentioned some good things to take away from it.
[00:22:13]  Those are the other things, too.
[00:22:14]  You don't just have to be a pastor or a theologian locked in an ivory tower.
[00:22:19]  To be a part of this and our history is not just those men.
[00:22:22]  Yeah.

=== Loving Neighbors Beyond Faith (15:31) ===

[00:24:39]  All right.
[00:24:40]  Well, welcome back.
[00:24:41]  So talked about white boy summer.
[00:24:42]  Really love what you said, Joel.
[00:24:44]  It's honoring our fathers.
[00:24:44]  I'm going to fit that into the broader category of what would be historically called natural affection.
[00:24:50]  So we have an affection for our fathers.
[00:24:52]  That's racist, McGovern.
[00:24:54]  Sounds scary.
[00:24:54]  Racist, of course, spelled R A A A.
[00:24:57]  It's three A's and then Y and then C I S T.
[00:25:01]  The listener needs to know, too, that term racist, you would have very late in the 1800s.
[00:25:05]  Racisme would be the French term.
[00:25:07]  It really doesn't come into use until about the 1940s.
[00:25:10]  It's a very new term.
[00:25:12]  Why the 1940s?
[00:25:13]  What happened in the 1940s?
[00:25:14]  Nothing.
[00:25:15]  It was a really quiet, quiet decade, honestly.
[00:25:17]  So you're saying something significant changed.
[00:25:20]  In the 1940s.
[00:25:21]  A group of people that needed to be labeled a bad word?
[00:25:24]  Oh, okay.
[00:25:25]  All right.
[00:25:25]  So that is a new term.
[00:25:27]  So if you're accusing Christians with that, you have to do the legwork, not us, on the exegesis of the Bible.
[00:25:31]  So we're going to talk about natural affection.
[00:25:34]  I'm going to get into some stats here.
[00:25:35]  So this is my background.
[00:25:36]  This is what I do for a living.
[00:25:37]  Nate, if you could pull up the first graph.
[00:25:40]  We have, so this is a study published in the Nature Journal.
[00:25:44]  Nature is a very prestigious journal.
[00:25:45]  This is not Joe, the intern, cranked out some numbers, posted them on 4chan.
[00:25:49]  So this is Nature Journal.
[00:25:51]  They did a large study with a couple hundred.
[00:25:52]  A couple hundred subjects, a couple hundred patients, and they identified them on their political leanings.
[00:25:58]  So it ranged from very liberal, liberal, somewhat liberal, neutral, conservative, very conservative.
[00:26:03]  So five different categories across the political continuum left to right, progressive to conservative.
[00:26:10]  And they asked them on where do you owe your greatest duty, your greatest responsibility?
[00:26:15]  Who do you identify most with?
[00:26:17]  Is it those closest to you?
[00:26:18]  Is it those maybe in a little bit broader circle or with all of mankind universally?
[00:26:23]  Is that who you feel most identified with?
[00:26:25]  This graph right here, if you're maybe listening, I'll do my best to describe it.
[00:26:29]  Shows the allocation.
[00:26:31]  Members and the participants were given basically 20 units of saying who matters most.
[00:26:35]  I want you to take these 20, so you have a limited number, and distribute them across immediate family, your extended family, your relatives, your town and your community, your nation, all of mankind, then even to non human life, so plants and animals.
[00:26:49]  Where is it that most of your affection, most of your love, most of your devotion, who do you most closely identify with?
[00:26:56]  So, the graph on the left, you see where conservatives allocated.
[00:26:59]  Conservatives allocated mostly family, your immediate family, your extended family.
[00:27:05]  It was those that they felt the greatest devotion with.
[00:27:07]  But on the right, you have how liberals allocated that.
[00:27:10]  And they allocated much closer, not to the family, but to universal mankind.
[00:27:15]  As in, they felt their devotion, where I should give the most of myself, of my resources, my time, my energy, my love, they were oriented much more universally than conservatives.
[00:27:25]  So you're telling me that the guys who think I'm just a citizen of the world, no borders, man, peace and love, also happen to be the guys who think that sodomy is cool.
[00:27:36]  And we're supposed to think that there's no correlation there.
[00:27:39]  The Venn diagram between those two groups is a circle.
[00:27:44]  And then the guys who most associate with not just this view of natural affections, but conservative morals, stemming primarily from the word of God, they also happen to be the people who think instinctively that natural affections is a thing, that my first devotion is to my father, my mother, my brother, my sister, my children, and that it stems out from there.
[00:28:05]  Huh?
[00:28:06]  Hmm.
[00:28:06]  Huh?
[00:28:07]  You can go to the next one, Nate.
[00:28:08]  We'll just hit two more really quickly.
[00:28:11]  This one is compelling.
[00:28:12]  So this is a graph, and again, same source.
[00:28:14]  Same source, same study, same group of people, very liberal on the far left, very conservative on the far right there.
[00:28:21]  This is a graph of how closely, again, devotion and responsibility.
[00:28:26]  Liberals, the very liberal group, ranked humans and nonhumans, so plants, animals, you can maybe even include AI in that, as worthy of equal responsibility, equal devotion.
[00:28:36]  As humans.
[00:28:37]  As humans.
[00:28:37]  So humans, nonhumans, 50 50.
[00:28:40]  We have a great responsibility to both.
[00:28:41]  That was the very liberal position.
[00:28:43]  Then you get all the way out to very conservative on the far right.
[00:28:46]  If you're just tuning in, this is a study from Nature magazine.
[00:28:49]  Nature Journal 2019, conservatives to a much greater degree said, no, no, no.
[00:28:54]  First priority human beings.
[00:28:56]  Human beings are who we owe the greatest love, our greatest devotion, greatest care for.
[00:29:00]  And then last graph.
[00:29:04]  Uh oh.
[00:29:05]  And then there's one more.
[00:29:06]  It just ranked nation, community, and universal mankind.
[00:29:10]  And again, liberals ranked their belonging, their association with universal mankind as the highest.
[00:29:16]  Conservatives ranked the nation.
[00:29:18]  The principle in all of this, the way we illustrate it with these studies, what we're getting at, we're going to go to scripture here in a minute.
[00:29:24]  We owe the most to those that are closest to us.
[00:29:28]  The greatest measure of duty that we have, there's even a principle of similitude, as in looking like or being like.
[00:29:35]  My children are the people in the world that are most like me.
[00:29:39]  So it'd be my children and my parents.
[00:29:41]  Real quick, Wes, read that Shire Pill, super insightful.
[00:29:48]  Telescopic philanthropy is just cope for doing nothing.
[00:29:52]  Right.
[00:29:53]  Absolutely.
[00:29:54]  Like part of the reason, just.
[00:29:55]  If you're wondering, well, why liberals make such a big deal of like, I'm just a, you know, I'm a citizen of the world, you know, and I don't care about my country.
[00:30:02]  I don't care about my people.
[00:30:03]  I don't care about my father or my family, you know, or we're all just, you know, there's no difference between the amoeba and the human being.
[00:30:11]  We love them both and we have, you know, here's the deal.
[00:30:16]  If you're wondering, okay, I know that's their view.
[00:30:18]  I recognize that they're dumb.
[00:30:20]  But why?
[00:30:21]  What's the angle?
[00:30:22]  Are they just dumb or is there malice here?
[00:30:24]  Is there wickedness here?
[00:30:25]  And the answer is yes.
[00:30:26]  It's, it's, Unfortunately, I would love to be charitable and say that the Liberals are just stupid, but I can't be charitable because we know better.
[00:30:32]  The verdict has already come back in.
[00:30:34]  We know the answer.
[00:30:35]  We know these things definitively.
[00:30:36]  Not only are they stupid, they're wicked.
[00:30:38]  And the wickedness is this whenever somebody says, Well, I'm just a citizen of the world, or I love humanity, I love the whole world, the whole point, the angle in that is by loving everybody, you don't have to love anybody.
[00:30:52]  I'll say it again by loving everybody, you don't have to love anybody.
[00:30:55]  This is like your stereotypical blue haired 19 year old chick who's getting her degrees and gender studies.
[00:31:06]  And she's like, I love the children in Uganda, right?
[00:31:10]  But she has to every single semester change roommates because she can't get along with anybody who's within a 15 foot radius of her.
[00:31:17]  So the reality is this I love humanity.
[00:31:20]  What it is is love in theory.
[00:31:23]  But Jesus condemns this all throughout the scripture again and again.
[00:31:26]  What is said is if you wish your neighbor, hey, go be well and be warm and well fed, and I wish you well, that's meaningless.
[00:31:37]  What the scripture speaks to again and again is that real love is defined by meeting people's tangible needs.
[00:31:45]  And it begins first with the house of God.
[00:31:47]  So it is covenantal and not just by blood, but it is covenantal.
[00:31:52]  It begins with the house of God as often as you have opportunity to do good to all, but especially that is prioritized the household of faith.
[00:32:00]  But the scripture also prioritizes, it doesn't just prioritize the spiritual covenantal connection of God.
[00:32:07]  Love for fellow Christians.
[00:32:09]  But first, to make my first point, that is then fleshed out.
[00:32:12]  So, this is who to love, but now how to love.
[00:32:14]  You love them indeed, not just word, not just theory, but in practice.
[00:32:18]  It's by feeding them.
[00:32:19]  Or, like Jesus says this whoever gives a small cup of water to someone in my name, or whenever you visited me in prison, well, when did I visit you in prison?
[00:32:29]  When you visited the least of these, my brothers.
[00:32:31]  And the least of these, even that is specified.
[00:32:34]  It's not the least of these, just whoever's the least in the world.
[00:32:38]  In humanity at large.
[00:32:39]  No, the key phrase there when Jesus is talking about who's greatest in the kingdom of heaven, when you visited me when I was in prison, you clothed me when I was naked, you fed me when I was hungry.
[00:32:49]  And the disciples say, When did we see you naked or in prison or hungry and do these things for you?
[00:32:55]  And Jesus says, I tell you the truth.
[00:32:59]  Whenever you did this for these my brothers, you did it for me.
[00:33:03]  And so what he's saying by my brothers there is he's not saying my brothers and that's everyone in the world.
[00:33:08]  I'm a citizen of the world.
[00:33:09]  No, he's saying my brothers, that is.
[00:33:11]  Whenever you did it for Christians, fellow Christians, those who have union with Christ by the Spirit, by grace through faith in Christ alone.
[00:33:20]  So, loving tangibly, not just theoretically loving everybody, but in practice loving somebody.
[00:33:26]  Not theoretically loving everyone, but practically loving someone.
[00:33:30]  And loving Christians in a covenantal sense is to love Christ.
[00:33:34]  To love Christians who are hard pressed and downtrodden and to love them tangibly is to love Christ Himself, but also.
[00:33:43]  And I know you're going to get here, Wes, so I'll turn it back to you.
[00:33:44]  But it's not just loving Christians.
[00:33:47]  So we want to include that, but it's also loving members of our own household.
[00:33:51]  I'll give you a great example.
[00:33:52]  I'm going to misquote a little bit of the details because it's been a while.
[00:33:55]  There was a CEO in San Francisco of a very woke upstart tech company, and he just all over the place, just virtue signaled.
[00:34:04]  Oh, we pay a living wage.
[00:34:05]  We're pro women, this, that, or the other.
[00:34:07]  So we did all this signaling of like, we're a great organization to work for.
[00:34:11]  We actually push for equality.
[00:34:13]  Well, he got rung up on charges for trying to date rape multiple women.
[00:34:16]  So, publicly, he's putting on this face of love, and this is what CEOs should do, and this is how generosity looks.
[00:34:23]  Privately, he's trying to follow girls home in an Uber and do terrible things.
[00:34:28]  And over and over again, you see that.
[00:34:30]  I love the children in Uganda.
[00:34:32]  And we find out what you did, you know, the skeletons that are in your closet.
[00:34:36]  They use that as an excuse.
[00:34:37]  So, great comment.
[00:34:39]  Go ahead.
[00:34:41]  They don't just use it as an excuse, they use it as a cover.
[00:34:43]  Right.
[00:34:44]  Because we are all condemned by our own lack of love.
[00:34:49]  And so, Jesus says, They did not come to me because I'm the light and their deeds are evil.
[00:34:55]  And it's easier to be self righteous.
[00:35:01]  And, you know, this is all of us.
[00:35:03]  It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor.
[00:35:04]  It's easier to be self righteous than to deal with your own depravity.
[00:35:08]  And yet, we live in a time where public self righteousness, partly because of the internet and social media, is easier, I think, than at any other time because there's no one that can call you out, right?
[00:35:20]  If you're a Twitter account and you say, oh, you know, I did this, or I love the poor, or I gave to children in Uganda, or you put the black square up or the rainbow flag up, or whatever.
[00:35:32]  I support the current thing.
[00:35:33]  I support the current thing.
[00:35:35]  If you did that in a small town before social media, try that in a small town.
[00:35:39]  Your neighbor, your mom, the person across the street from you would say, Wait, what are you talking about?
[00:35:45]  I saw you yelling at your kids last week.
[00:35:47]  You're not virtuous.
[00:35:49]  But we have the ability to be fake, publicly virtuous like no other time in history.
[00:35:56]  All right, so universalism, bad.
[00:36:01]  And two reasons.
[00:36:02]  So the Bible, first of all, but there's also an argument from nature I'm going to get to.
[00:36:05]  But the Bible, just for a minute, and there's someone in the comments saying, like, well, Jesus said, you know, well, my brothers and sisters, my mother, who are they but those who do my will?
[00:36:13]  First of all, Jesus, the Son of God, it is true.
[00:36:16]  But he's not invalidating.
[00:36:18]  So she's then, oh, Mary, Jesus only refers to Mary as woman, not mother.
[00:36:22]  Do you think Jesus, the Son of God who came to fulfill the law, just broke the fifth commandment regularly by not honoring his earthly mother?
[00:36:29]  Well, what was the last earthly thing he did before he died?
[00:36:32]  He was on the cross taking his final breaths, and he said to his disciples, take care of all widows on the planet equally.
[00:36:38]  No.
[00:36:39]  John, the disciple that he loved, he said, Behold your mother.
[00:36:43]  Mother, behold your son.
[00:36:45]  What is he doing?
[00:36:45]  It's not just pietism because Jesus is not a pietist.
[00:36:49]  What he's doing is he is spending his last gasping breaths in agony to take care of his mother.
[00:36:57]  Because his earthly father, Joseph, his actual mother, not just the one who did his will, she did also happen to do his will, but there were a lot of older women who were his disciples by this point.
[00:37:07]  And there were other women who were there at the cross.
[00:37:09]  Disciples who were even willing to follow him all the way to his death at great risk to themselves.
[00:37:13]  And yet, Jesus intentionally makes special provisions for his earthly biological mother.
[00:37:21]  Why?
[00:37:23]  Because it is right to do so.
[00:37:24]  Because he came not only to avoid sin, maintaining innocence, but he came as John the Baptist.
[00:37:30]  What he says to John the Baptist, he's like, Why do you want me to baptize you?
[00:37:34]  So that the scriptures might be fulfilled, so that all righteousness might be fulfilled.
[00:37:38]  This is what we speak of.
[00:37:39]  Owen would talk about this, the Puritans, the act of.
[00:37:42]  Obedience of Christ.
[00:37:43]  The passive obedience of Christ is that he was obedient to the Father unto death, that he went to the cross and died for our sins, penal substitutionary atonement.
[00:37:50]  But the active obedience of Christ is not just that he died in my place.
[00:37:53]  And people, if you don't get this, you don't get the gospel.
[00:37:55]  It's not just that Jesus died in your place, taking the wrath of God that you deserved, but Jesus lived in your place, fulfilling all righteousness, not just avoiding all sin, but fulfilling every good work, not just avoiding every bad work, but fulfilling and obeying every good work, so that when God looks at you, it's not only that Jesus has taken your penalty, Through his death, but Jesus has stored up for you an inheritance, a reward through his obedient life, his act of obedience.
[00:38:21]  And part of that act of obedience was all 10 commandments, including the fifth commandment, which is honoring his earthly mother, not every universal widow, but his widowed mom.
[00:38:31]  And he does so with his last gasping breath.
[00:38:33]  So, yes, all those who do his will are covenantally his mother and brothers, the family of Christ, union with him by the Spirit through faith.
[00:38:42]  Yes, and amen, Owen Strand, we get it.
[00:38:44]  But also, let's come, just put on your big boy pants, grow up, and you're supposed to be a theologian.
[00:38:53]  Owen Strand is far more studied than I am.
[00:38:56]  I can't be the guy.
[00:38:57]  This is ridiculous that I have to be the guy who didn't even go to seminary to give this kind of theological discourse.
[00:39:04]  Like, surely, that's what makes me mad.
[00:39:06]  These guys know.
[00:39:07]  They know better than I do.
[00:39:09]  I know they know better than I do.
[00:39:12]  They have the accolades that I don't have, they have the credentials that I don't have.
[00:39:16]  They went the right path, they got the right attaboys from the right guys and the right letters behind their name.
[00:39:24]  And yet, you know, everything is just the Jesus juke.
[00:39:27]  The Jesus, well, well, it's just spiritual.
[00:39:30]  It's just, no, no.
[00:39:32]  You are the family of Christ if you obey his will, and you will never obey his will apart from regeneration by the Spirit and the gift of faith, which is not conjured up by man but given sovereignly by God.
[00:39:43]  Yes, you need to be a Christian to be the brother of the family of Christ.
[00:39:47]  And also, Jesus fulfills the fifth commandment to his particular widowed mother, not universal widows, but his biological mother.
[00:39:56]  Because he came to fulfill all righteousness and Jesus was fully God, but also fully man.
[00:40:01]  Yep.
[00:40:02]  Amen.
[00:40:02]  I'm going to do one more.
[00:40:04]  There's so many other Bible passages, but verse from Paul.
[00:40:07]  This is well cited.
[00:40:08]  1 Timothy 5, verse 8.

=== Proximity Defines True Neighbor (09:14) ===

[00:40:11]  He who does not provide for his relatives, especially his own household, has denied the faith.
[00:40:16]  The King James renders it as is worse than an infidel.
[00:40:19]  So notice what Paul's saying here.
[00:40:20]  He says, He who does not provide for his relatives, that'd be extended family, cousins, in laws, something like that.
[00:40:26]  And then, especially to a greater degree, His own household, his children, his wife, perhaps his aging parents.
[00:40:33]  So he who does not provide for his relatives and especially his household, he doesn't say is equivalent to an unbeliever that's pretty good outwardly, morally.
[00:40:41]  He doesn't even say he's equivalent to a raging atheist.
[00:40:44]  He says he who does not provide for his relatives and his household, and he almost says it as a given, almost as like you should know this.
[00:40:52]  He who does not provide for them is worse than an infidel.
[00:40:56]  He has denied the faith and is worse than the raging atheist, the person that would take the duty that he has.
[00:41:02]  To his children, to his broader family, to have the means to do so and to do nothing about it, that person has categorically, this is Paul's words.
[00:41:10]  I'm not even interpreting or putting my spin on it.
[00:41:13]  I don't like the way he exegeted that.
[00:41:14]  I didn't exegete it.
[00:41:15]  I just read it.
[00:41:15]  I just read it.
[00:41:16]  This is what the Bible says if you have a problem with it.
[00:41:19]  And I mean, yeah, fathers that choose to be absent fathers, and I know there are situations where the court has made it so you can't do anything.
[00:41:26]  Right.
[00:41:26]  But this would be fathers that choose to be absent.
[00:41:29]  If you would even claim to be a Christian, that claim is categorically denied on the basis of just a single verse.
[00:41:34]  Your confession is bunk.
[00:41:35]  You are to provide as much as you can.
[00:41:37]  Again, things happen.
[00:41:39]  Regimes throw people in prison.
[00:41:40]  We get that.
[00:41:41]  But the man who will not provide, not for everyone, not for any orphan, but for his own family, denied the faith.
[00:41:47]  Here's the question Why has he denied the faith?
[00:41:51]  Why is that so egregious in Paul's mind?
[00:41:54]  Paul is supporting the idea that Augustine later on coined of natural affections.
[00:42:02]  Exactly.
[00:42:02]  Paul is saying, You cannot even do the natural duty that.
[00:42:08]  In some senses, it is obvious.
[00:42:10]  I mean, you even look to the animal kingdom, right?
[00:42:12]  And by and large, you're going to find something where the black widow eats the husband and the father and all that.
[00:42:18]  But by and large, yeah, this is just something that is so obvious that parents, fathers provide for their children.
[00:42:27]  And so to call yourself a Christian and then to go so far as to deny that very obvious natural order, the testimony of nature, which agrees with the testimony of the scripture, you are so backwards that you're worse even than an unbeliever.
[00:42:46]  Right.
[00:42:47]  We say it a lot, but grace does not destroy nature.
[00:42:50]  Right.
[00:42:50]  Grace does not eliminate, grace does not abrogate.
[00:42:53]  Grace takes those natural duties and makes us capable of doing them and perfects nature.
[00:42:58]  So it takes those natural duties to the family, to those that you care for, and elevates them so you can do them well, do them with integrity, to get up for a 60 hour work week when you're tired.
[00:43:08]  That's what grace empowers instead of just alleviating you of the responsibility, what you should do, all of that.
[00:43:14]  Grace restores nature, it does not eradicate it.
[00:43:17]  And real quick, I really do think because it is so scriptural, like, you know, you're worse than, you've denied the faith and worse than an unbeliever if you don't care for.
[00:43:27]  Not only your immediate household, that would be your wife and children, but then your relatives beyond that and outside of that.
[00:43:33]  And because it is so scriptural and so clear, I really, God knows better than we do.
[00:43:39]  So anybody who is attempting to substitute, interchange, and say, anybody who is failing to love those closest to him, that he's commanded most particularly to love and care for in tangible ways, anyone who is failing to do that, but claims to be an advocate of the world, you know, and this universal love.
[00:44:00]  That person, it's not just that he's chosen to love the stranger above his own, it's that he's loving no one.
[00:44:08]  Biblically speaking, in biblical categories, there's no such thing as someone who truly, according to God's standard, loves the stranger but chooses not to love his own.
[00:44:18]  That doesn't exist because it's sin.
[00:44:22]  If I am tangibly loving, not just saying it, not just virtue signaling on social media, but if I am tangibly loving children of the world, At the expense or at the cost in place, the place of loving my own children, then I don't really love the children of the world.
[00:44:40]  It's not that I'm loving them instead of my own.
[00:44:43]  It's that in real terms, I'm love less.
[00:44:45]  I'm not loving anyone.
[00:44:48]  If anything, I'm only loving myself.
[00:44:50]  What would motivate a man to do that, to love a stranger instead of his own wife and children, is ultimately a love for himself, his own ego, his own image, his own approval.
[00:45:00]  It is self love.
[00:45:01]  It is not the love of others.
[00:45:03]  If you don't love those closest to you, And you've opted to love those who are further away instead of those closest to you.
[00:45:09]  It's not because you love the stranger instead of your kin.
[00:45:12]  It's because you love no one.
[00:45:13]  Right.
[00:45:14]  Yeah.
[00:45:14]  I'm going to preempt the Jesus juke here.
[00:45:16]  What about the story of the Good Samaritan?
[00:45:18]  I was getting earlier.
[00:45:18]  What about the parable where the Samaritan is walking and he comes across a man, a Levite who's been beaten?
[00:45:23]  Here's the deal He's literally two feet away from him.
[00:45:26]  That's right.
[00:45:26]  It's not that they don't share anything, he's not in Asia and then the other ones here in South Africa and he somehow picks him to lavish compassion upon.
[00:45:35]  They are sharing the same proximate area.
[00:45:38]  Right.
[00:45:38]  We have to share something.
[00:45:40]  And I remember I first heard that theological concept, like basically the argument of proximity.
[00:45:46]  I had never heard that before, but I heard it maybe 10 years ago from Vodi Bakum.
[00:45:50]  And I was absolutely sold.
[00:45:52]  He made such a good argument and just saying that the moral of this parable of the Good Samaritan is not that you love the children in Uganda, you know, 5,000 miles away.
[00:46:04]  The parable, notice exactly what Wes just said, but the point that screams out of it is that the reason why the Samaritan, and for that matter, also those who came before him but chose to pass over, the reason why all three moved themselves and moved away.
[00:46:20]  They went to the other side of the parable.
[00:46:22]  Exactly.
[00:46:22]  But the reason why all three men, including even the Samaritan, have a moral obligation is because of the proximity, because he's right there.
[00:46:33]  I do not have an obligation.
[00:46:35]  To care for entire nations on the other side of the planet.
[00:46:40]  However, if someone of another nationality is on my front doorstep and bleeding and dying, I do have an obligation to immediately do whatever can be done to save that person's life.
[00:46:55]  Why?
[00:46:55]  Because they share my blood?
[00:46:58]  No, because they share my space.
[00:47:01]  They're right in front of me.
[00:47:02]  And so the moral obligation falls to me because I'm in the providence of God.
[00:47:06]  He saw to it that I was there.
[00:47:09]  But when it comes to, again, natural affections and your wife, your children, and then slowly but surely rippling out further and further from that, your immediate family, then your relatives, and eventually your nation, the obligation there is both an argument of proximity and family ties and natural affection.
[00:47:30]  So it's both.
[00:47:31]  It's all the more so.
[00:47:32]  This is something that is so core to the kind of the root of this entire discussion.
[00:47:38]  And I think that.
[00:47:39]  People have a problem.
[00:47:40]  It's the same theological problem, but it manifests itself in two ways.
[00:47:45]  And the problem that they have is they are not happy about God's sovereignty.
[00:47:50]  They're not happy about God's sovereignty.
[00:47:52]  And in the story, Jesus was correcting the opposite way that we have to correct today.
[00:47:58]  What he was saying at the time was there were these religious leaders who didn't want to have to care for the undesirables.
[00:48:05]  And Jesus was saying to them, God, in his sovereignty, is perfectly within his rights to bring anyone.
[00:48:12]  Into your physical proximity, yeah, and if he does that, and that person is in need, and you have the ability to meet that need, God has made that person your neighbor, and that is God's prerogative to do that.
[00:48:22]  And who are you to argue with God bringing that man into your physical proximity and to then reject God's sovereign, um, decision to do that by not showing love and kindness and compassion to that person?
[00:48:36]  That person's your neighbor because God put him there, and if it were not for God's sovereign will, he would not be there.
[00:48:42]  But in our time.
[00:48:43]  We have the opposite problem, I think.
[00:48:45]  We look and we have been sold this bill of goods that says, well, you ought to hate the nation that God has put you in.
[00:48:55]  And no, God has sovereignly put us in America.
[00:49:00]  He has sovereignly put the people in Uganda in Uganda.
[00:49:04]  He has sovereignly put the people in the nation that they're in, Acts 17.
[00:49:08]  And we reject that sovereign providential rule of God when we say, I don't have a duty to the people around me.
[00:49:16]  I have a duty to the people over there.
[00:49:17]  That's equally a rejection of God's sovereignty of establishing borders, telling us who our neighbor is and who is not our neighbor.

=== Private Family Banking Mission (02:10) ===

[00:49:25]  Yeah, that's good.
[00:49:26]  That's good.
[00:49:27]  Notice, too, I was just going to say with this Samaritan story how long does he sponsor him?
[00:49:31]  A year?
[00:49:32]  Two years?
[00:49:32]  He shares a little bit, a same path with him, and he sponsors about two days in a hotel.
[00:49:38]  He binds him up and then says about two days.
[00:49:40]  So the amount even he gives is proportional to the relation he has.
[00:49:43]  He has no blood relation.
[00:49:44]  They don't share the same community.
[00:49:46]  And so he does share that proximal space that we just talked about.
[00:49:49]  And so he sponsors him for three days, binds up his wounds, and cares for him, not on an indefinite basis, the way he would his own children.
[00:49:56]  He does say, I'm going to come back.
[00:49:58]  If it costs above the money that I've already given you in order to make him whole, to save his life, and to make sure he's on the path to physical recovery.
[00:50:05]  So I'm giving you this much, and I will also give you more.
[00:50:09]  I'll foot the bill.
[00:50:12]  But he's not putting him on his fridge, a picture of him, and saying, and I also will make sure that you have universal income for the rest of your life.
[00:50:20]  I'll pay his rent for the next year.
[00:50:21]  No, he doesn't do any of that.
[00:50:23]  No.

[00:51:56]  The danger of centralized power is often represented by the word king.
[00:52:01]  As Americans, we hate the word king.
[00:52:04]  Civilian ownership of body armor is about helping people to have increased power.
[00:52:09]  to resist tyrants and criminals.
[00:52:12]  And so Armored Republic is about helping you to preserve your God-given rights to the honor of the Lord Jesus Christ because he is the King of Kings and he governs kings and he will judge them.
[00:52:25]  This is Armored Republic and in a republic there is no king but Christ.
[00:52:31]  We are free craftsmen and we are honored to be your armor spread of choice.
[00:52:50]  Welcome back.
[00:52:51]  So, for this final segment, we hammered home the point.
[00:52:54]  You have a responsibility to your immediate family, then more broadly to your relatives.
[00:52:59]  But we can go even a little bit beyond that.
[00:53:01]  I forget who said it, but he said the people or nation is the family writ large.
[00:53:05]  You were not just born into a vacuum, you were born to a place, a physical place, a land that should have borders.
[00:53:13]  You were born into a nation.
[00:53:14]  And so, insofar as you live in that nation, insofar as you share a genetic lineage with those people, That same level of devotion or that same category of devotion, responsibility, love, and adoration that you have for your family and your relatives can be expanded.
[00:53:30]  Again, not universalizing it.
[00:53:31]  So you have this responsibility to 350 million Americans.
[00:53:35]  But you can say there's a special level of respect, of enjoyment, and of care that I have for my nation that I don't have for other nations.
[00:53:43]  And especially as you share a land for a long time.
[00:53:46]  So this is not 15 minutes ago.
[00:53:48]  I immigrated to Ireland and I just love this people.
[00:53:51]  These bonds take time.
[00:53:52]  And the longer that you spend in a place, The greater affinity that you should feel for it and the greater responsibility you should feel for one, to uphold its customs, to keep it as it is, to celebrate the good, to promote more good, so to improve that nation that you're in.
[00:54:08]  And so we talk about white boy summer.
[00:54:10]  And as we've hammered on, the white Western culture has done a lot of good.
[00:54:15]  And I don't know how the category doesn't exist of countering white boy summer, saying it's immature, it's this, it's that.
[00:54:23]  I don't like that word white.
[00:54:24]  We can't do anything with it.
[00:54:26]  And still honoring the fifth commandment at some level.
[00:54:28]  It's very hard to reconcile a complete opposition to it.
[00:54:32]  I don't like this at all.
[00:54:33]  I don't like even the most general, the most vague, the most positive expression of a celebration of Western literature, Western culture, everything that the West has done.
[00:54:42]  But then at the same time, coming back over here and saying, I love the fifth commandment.
[00:54:45]  I honor my fathers.
[00:54:46]  At some level, you have to say, George Washington, if you're an Anglo Saxon, you've lived in this country for a long time, your parents, your grandparents lived here.
[00:54:54]  George Washington and these others who sacrificed greatly for me.
[00:54:58]  There is a respect and an honor due to them.
[00:55:01]  I just think of Valley Forge, brutal winter.
[00:55:03]  George Washington, he's paying soldiers out of his own pocket because Congress is broke.
[00:55:08]  And so these men are starving.
[00:55:10]  These men are battered by the cold, eking it out, and not even for themselves.
[00:55:14]  They realize that they might die for one.
[00:55:17]  And even if they win the war, are they left with a beautiful, thriving metropolis?
[00:55:21]  No, then they have to keep eking out an existence in a wilderness.
[00:55:25]  But they did it for you.
[00:55:26]  If you are Anglo Saxon, you've been here for a long time, then those men did it.
[00:55:31]  For their posterity to ensure a better life, a better survival for you, and that is worthy of honor.
[00:55:37]  Imagine them being there in Valley Forge and seeing the average liberal arts student today who thinks our founders are racist, all of this is dumb, America's stained with slavery.
[00:55:49]  I don't know if they would say it's worth it.
[00:55:51]  You know what?
[00:55:51]  Let's just be another colony of England.
[00:55:54]  If those who come after us are going to treat us like this, yeah, and that's shameful.
[00:55:59]  If you think that way, talk that way, describe them that way, then you are not.
[00:56:04]  Honoring your fathers, and you should repent of that.
[00:56:07]  They had flaws.
[00:56:07]  They were not perfect, but insofar as there was good, and many of them were good and godly.
[00:56:12]  And it's Washington, it's Robert E. Lee, one of the greatest men this nation has ever produced, it's our authors, it's all of this.
[00:56:19]  There's a certain level of respect and honor.
[00:56:21]  And I like to think at the core of it, at its best, that's what White Boy Summer is about honoring and loving them and giving them the credit that they deserve for the great, hard things that they did.
[00:56:30]  That's good.
[00:56:34]  There's a sense where when we talk about wanting to honor, Your heritage, your lineage, the sacrifice that people made before, it can get a little bit sappy, right?
[00:56:47]  I mean, you kind of imagine Hallmark movies a little bit or holiday special type vibes.
[00:56:54]  But again, I'm going back to the video that you quoted earlier, Wes.
[00:57:00]  One of the lines that he said in that video was We need to stop being afraid that anytime we start talking about true affection between friends who are males, we're going to get labeled gay or homosexual.
[00:57:13]  He said that is a juke to try and discourage true fraternal affection.
[00:57:20]  Love between men for each other.
[00:57:23]  In the same way, we need to be careful not to just write off a true honoring of our father and our mother and our national heritage as sappy patriotism.
[00:57:36]  There could be some of that, right?
[00:57:37]  There could be some of that.
[00:57:38]  But I'll tell you what, when I go to a sporting event where they sing the national anthem, I tear up every time the national anthem is sung.
[00:57:46]  I'm not going to be embarrassed for that, right?
[00:57:48]  Like, I love our country.
[00:57:49]  I love our heritage.
[00:57:51]  Obviously, like you said, Wes, there are flaws.
[00:57:54]  But But we need to, in White Boy Summer, and always, we need to be okay with feeling some things for our country.
[00:58:04]  We need to be okay feeling shame for the absolute train wreck that has happened to our country over the last decades.
[00:58:13]  And we need to be okay feeling a real sense of obligation and duty.
[00:58:19]  Like you said, Wes, and you read the founding documents, and it specifically mentions that they pledged their, I forget the order, but their lives, their honor, and their fortune.
[00:58:29]  Their sacred honor, their fortune, and their very lives to the endeavor of fighting for American independence.
[00:58:37]  And their posterity.
[00:58:38]  Specifically named in the Declaration is the blessings of liberty for our posterity.
[00:58:43]  For us and our posterity.
[00:58:44]  And our posterity, yes.
[00:58:44]  Which, you know, I preached that just this last Sunday, but basically saying that as big of an issue as abortion is, and I think that is still the number one issue.
[00:58:53]  Okay.
[00:58:54]  So I'm not replacing that.
[00:58:55]  I think that's the number one issue.
[00:58:57]  But abortion is a breach of the sixth commandment thou shalt not murder.
[00:59:03]  But open borders, what's happening right now at our southern border and the crisis of immigration, and hear me, I didn't misspeak immigration, not just illegal immigration, that is terrible, but even the level of legal immigration right now is terrible.
[00:59:20]  It's wicked.
[00:59:21]  You cannot legally onboard people, Somalians, and at that number, millions of people every single year who are not compatible with.
[00:59:37]  The Protestant, Anglo, Western culture, you can have some reasonable, wise, mitigated legal immigration that's legal.
[00:59:48]  For those going to assimilate.
[00:59:50]  For those who.
[00:59:51]  Exactly.
[00:59:51]  Even the idea of the melting pot, well, I won't, some of you guys are not ready for that rabbit hole, but where it actually came from, that expression.
[01:00:00]  But let's just assume, for the sake of argument, that it was actually not nefarious, and I think it was nefarious, but let's assume that it was actually positive.
[01:00:08]  Well, still.
[01:00:09]  Even with that, a melting pot is different than a salad bowl.
[01:00:12]  Salad bowl, you throw everything in whole and you stir it up, but the tomatoes are still tomatoes and the lettuce is still lettuce.
[01:00:19]  The cucumbers are still cucumbers.
[01:00:21]  A melting pot, the whole idea is everything melts.
[01:00:23]  Think of fondue, it's like 17 different cheeses, but they're going to melt down and blend and be one.
[01:00:32]  So even if America was meant to be a melting pot, and again, I don't think it was, I don't think that was the view of our founders, and I think that that was.
[01:00:40]  That idea was sifted in by some nefarious characters.
[01:00:43]  But even if it was, and I'm conceding a lot there, still melting pot, not salad bowl.
[01:00:51]  So, one, should not be illegal immigration, right?
[01:00:54]  That shouldn't even have to be said.
[01:00:56]  No illegal immigration, it should be legal.
[01:00:58]  Number two, it should be far less legal immigration.
[01:01:02]  Number three, it should be less legal immigration.
[01:01:05]  And the few that legally you are taking each year and doing that wisely in a mitigated approach should be those.
[01:01:13]  Who would benefit the country, not mere charity, but would benefit the country coming to contribute and most importantly to melt, that is to assimilate, to say, like Ruth did, right?
[01:01:26]  Who was a Moabite.
[01:01:27]  She doesn't say, Hey, I'm coming with you, Naomi, and I'm going to start the Moabite clan in Israel.
[01:01:33]  No, she's like, No, I'm leaving that.
[01:01:36]  Your people will be my people.
[01:01:37]  I'm going to change and be one of you.
[01:01:40]  Your God will be my God.
[01:01:41]  She's not saying, I'll come with you and you worship Yahweh and I'll worship Moab.
[01:01:46]  Great idea.
[01:01:47]  Principal pluralism.
[01:01:48]  No, that was never the idea.
[01:01:51]  The founder, so all that back, my point is that abortion is a breach of the sixth commandment, thou shalt not murder.

=== Sacrifices for Future Generations (04:10) ===

[01:01:57]  But the issue that's going on at the border is a breach of the fifth commandment, thou shalt honor thy father and mother.
[01:02:03]  Our fathers, think about this for a second.
[01:02:05]  That's because I remember for the longest time, I was like, who cares?
[01:02:07]  You know, like you're just being racist.
[01:02:09]  I mean, that's what I thought.
[01:02:10]  I was in Acts 29, you know, so of course I thought that.
[01:02:13]  Acts 29 is, you know, a bunch of liberals.
[01:02:15]  So, but that's what I thought.
[01:02:16]  I thought, like, who cares?
[01:02:17]  I don't care, you know, if, If America is made up of a million different cultures and a million different ethnicities and religions and this and that and the other.
[01:02:27]  But then as I got older, and part of it was becoming a father, now I've got my fifth kid on the way, I realized, well, wait a second.
[01:02:34]  The founders, they literally said who they did it for.
[01:02:37]  They didn't do it for Somalia.
[01:02:40]  They didn't give their blood, sweat, and tears for Uganda or Somalia or the Ukraine or Israel.
[01:02:47]  They did it for themselves.
[01:02:50]  And their posterity, they did it for their great, great, great, great.
[01:02:52]  But you know what needs to be driven home there is that was a good and godly addendum onto the end of that sentence.
[01:02:59]  That was right, they did it for them and their posterity, and that pleased the Lord.
[01:03:02]  And that's part of the reason why God gave so much blessing to their efforts because they were doing it for the right reasons for the glory of God first, for themselves and their children, their household second, not just the universal neighbor, but the particular neighbor, their family.
[01:03:20]  Their heritage, their posterity, their great, great, great, great grandchildren.
[01:03:24]  And I'm thinking about that now.
[01:03:26]  Like, I'm working multiple jobs trying to start a business on the side, in addition to pastoring a church and all this kind of stuff.
[01:03:32]  I do right response mainly because I want to get a good biblical theology out to more people besides just the local church setting.
[01:03:39]  But I'm trying to do other businesses that has nothing to do with media and Christian theology and those kinds of things.
[01:03:44]  Like, I'm not teaching, it does have everything to do.
[01:03:47]  Everything the gospel has to do with everything, but I'm not, the businesses that I'm starting are not a media ministry.
[01:03:54]  But I'm trying to start a couple business endeavors on the side.
[01:03:58]  And with those, I want to do a good Christian product that will be a blessing to people.
[01:04:02]  But also, I'm doing those primarily to build wealth.
[01:04:05]  And here's the deal I'm going to work extra hours.
[01:04:08]  I'm already working extra hours to build wealth for strangers.
[01:04:12]  No.
[01:04:13]  For orphans in Haiti?
[01:04:15]  No.
[01:04:16]  For my children and my children's children.
[01:04:19]  You know why?
[01:04:21]  Because it's natural.
[01:04:23]  Number two, you know why?
[01:04:24]  Uh, because the Bible says so, Proverbs says that a good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children, not someone else's children's children, but for his own children's children.
[01:04:36]  And so I'm trying to work as much as I can and save and build as much wealth as I can.
[01:04:44]  And I'm not doing it for strangers.
[01:04:46]  I'm doing it for my posterity.
[01:04:49]  And that's the same thing.
[01:04:50]  It's not the same thing.
[01:04:51]  That pales in comparison to what I'm doing.
[01:04:54]  Take that exponentially way, way, way higher in terms of the cost and the sacrifice.
[01:05:00]  That's what the founders did.
[01:05:02]  They did it for their posterity.
[01:05:04]  And if they knew, hey, your great, great grandchildren that you're dying for right now, They're going to open up the border.
[01:05:11]  You're fighting off the British for their freedom.
[01:05:15]  But what they're going to do 250 years later is your great, great, great, great grandchildren that you're bleeding and sweating for, they're going to go ahead and open up the border.
[01:05:27]  And not to the British that already have their own oppression.
[01:05:33]  To oppression.
[01:05:36]  To oppression.
[01:05:40]  Tyrannies that are things that were unjust.
[01:05:42]  No, they're going to open it up to people who worship Allah, to people who hate Christ, Talmudic Judaism.
[01:05:52]  They're going to open it up to God hating false pagan religions who have contributed nothing.
[01:05:58]  And not only have they contributed nothing thus far, but many of them are coming with the full intent to never contribute anything.
[01:06:05]  That's who you're dying for right now, George Washington.

=== Lawfully Resisting Cultural Attacks (08:29) ===

[01:06:08]  Like, I think he literally would just fall on his knees and cry.
[01:06:11]  Like, it would be, those men would be broken.
[01:06:13]  They would be just completely broken to know.
[01:06:17]  Like they would lose the will to live.
[01:06:18]  I think they would have ended the war.
[01:06:20]  They would have stopped fighting the British.
[01:06:21]  They would have stopped the whole country, everything.
[01:06:23]  They just would have been, this is all a waste.
[01:06:27]  And so my point is abortion is a breaking of the sixth commandment murder, thou shalt not murder.
[01:06:34]  But open borders and to not have a biblical category for natural affections is a breach of the fifth commandment to honor thy father and mother.
[01:06:44]  So why are we doing all this?
[01:06:47]  Because we're racist.
[01:06:48]  No, because we're Christians.
[01:06:51]  And we want to obey God's law.
[01:06:54]  We see it as good.
[01:06:56]  And honoring your fathers, spiritual fathers, covenantal fathers, ecclesiastical fathers, ancient fathers like Athanasius, but then also honoring your nationalistic and familial fathers.
[01:07:12]  That is part of, that's baked into the fifth commandment.
[01:07:16]  And every culture, And every heritage and every ethnicity or nationality should do that.
[01:07:23]  And so, why White Boy Summer?
[01:07:24]  For two reasons.
[01:07:25]  One, because we're the one group of people right now that's told that they can't do that.
[01:07:30]  That's why.
[01:07:31]  Why White Boy Summer?
[01:07:32]  If it's just honor your fathers and every culture should do it, why are you making it about why not call it honor your fathers' summer for everybody?
[01:07:41]  Why White Boy Summer?
[01:07:42]  Because let's just be honest for a second.
[01:07:44]  There's one group of people right now that's told to hate their fathers, that's told that their fathers were terrible.
[01:07:49]  Their fathers were oppressors.
[01:07:50]  Their fathers were this, their fathers were that.
[01:07:52]  And you know why it's so easy?
[01:07:54]  I'm just going to go here.
[01:07:54]  You know why it's so easy to pick on Western culture?
[01:07:57]  Because Western culture knew how to write.
[01:08:01]  It's easy to pick on Western culture because they kept good records.
[01:08:04]  Because instead of oral traditions and stories about mythical beings and this and that and Peter Pan and fantasy, you know why it's easy to pick on the West?
[01:08:13]  Because the West kept historical records of everything they did, including not just things that, in hindsight, later on, retrospectively, we look back and see as failures and flaws.
[01:08:24]  But even things that they saw in their own generation as failures and flaws, but they wrote it down because one, they actually built a culture and a heritage that kept records and could write and appreciated history and literature and all these things.
[01:08:39]  And two, because they were honest.
[01:08:41]  They had a culture that was honest and said, no, let's keep the flaws.
[01:08:44]  I think there's another reason, too, Joel.
[01:08:46]  I think it's because they honored their fathers.
[01:08:48]  They honored their fathers.
[01:08:48]  And they could not imagine a time where people would nitpick and tear apart.
[01:08:56]  Every small, tiny little flaw in order to create a completely reversed image of what had been going on.
[01:09:02]  Right.
[01:09:03]  Right.
[01:09:04]  So, listen, this we're going to look at a tweet from John White.
[01:09:08]  He's a friend and a godly man, and he's an older man and he's a theonomist.
[01:09:14]  And I'll just say it like I don't know how to say it, but older theonomists are, if we were to take an average, I would say, on average, not fans of White Boy Summer.
[01:09:26]  I'll just put it that way.
[01:09:28]  But he actually, man, it was so good.
[01:09:32]  He gave kind of his thoughts and kind of a fleshing out of White War Summer, what it is, and why it's positive and good.
[01:09:41]  And I think it expresses a lot of the things we've said today and will help land the plane.
[01:09:44]  So here we go.
[01:09:45]  This is John White.
[01:09:48]  I think WBS, White Boy Summer, is about forming good cultural space.
[01:09:54]  I think it is a lawful form of civil disobedience.
[01:09:57]  He means biblically lawful.
[01:09:59]  Yeah, it's a biblically lawful form of civil disobedience.
[01:10:02]  To the prevailing wicked ideologies in our society.
[01:10:06]  White Boy Summer doesn't just decry the wickedness of prevailing culture, but it is in the early stages of trying to build and put something else in its place.
[01:10:17]  I think this is fundamentally anti Gnostic in a way that can be uncomfortable at first for many Christians.
[01:10:25]  Anti Gnostic, real quick, that just means that this is not just this pietistic, overly spiritualized thing, gospel, you know, Jesus juke, but it's saying we're going to put flesh.
[01:10:35]  And blood.
[01:10:36]  We're going to put meat on the bones, the bones being the theological premise, but we're going to give it practice.
[01:10:41]  We're going to give it a practical, tangible expression.
[01:10:44]  So I think it's fundamentally anti Gnostic, not just spiritual, Jesus juking, in a way that can be uncomfortable at first for many Christians, most over the age of 45.
[01:10:54]  I added that.
[01:10:57]  It may fizzle, but with sodomite June in our face each year, it may also gain steam and build year on year.
[01:11:05]  With that in mind, I want to share some further reflections.
[01:11:08]  When I heard of White Boys Summer, my first thought was, why not something other than race?
[01:11:13]  Why not something explicitly Christian?
[01:11:15]  For the record, that was my thought too.
[01:11:17]  Joel Webbins thought also.
[01:11:18]  There are so many good things that we could use instead, right?
[01:11:23]  Yet, race is the primary point of attack.
[01:11:26]  It is the very point where so many young men of white Anglo heritage are browbeaten into accepting the wicked conclusions of critical race theory.
[01:11:36]  So, why not resist that cultural attack in a lawful way?
[01:11:40]  Right at the point of attack.
[01:11:43]  Why not resist a cultural attack which bears wicked ideas with cultural resistance, which bears with it the Christian view of the world?
[01:11:53]  He continues lastly by saying this Religion is beneath all culture, it is culture externalized, and it is always a pathway to religion.
[01:12:03]  But religion is not culture itself.
[01:12:06]  Preaching the gospel in a cultural debate is fine and good.
[01:12:11]  But it is not the native language of the cultural debate.
[01:12:14]  Combating gangster rap, which is terrible because it is wicked, which it is, is a good thing.
[01:12:21]  But anyone who has raised children should know that music culture is a dangerous vacuum to leave empty in the hearts of your children.
[01:12:31]  You need good music to fill that space.
[01:12:34]  You need psalmody, hymns, classical, bluegrass, country, musicals, etc.
[01:12:41]  You choose carefully as parents, but you need good music to fill the space of bad music.
[01:12:48]  Not just preaching the gospel.
[01:12:50]  So, why not set forward and celebrate good culture?
[01:12:54]  Why not defend and celebrate something good which the wicked would trample underfoot?
[01:12:59]  Why not create a robust, growing cultural space for Anglo heritage?
[01:13:05]  Not for its own sake, but because it is good.
[01:13:09]  So, oh, I was wrong.
[01:13:10]  There's a little bit more.
[01:13:11]  So, why not set forward and celebrate good culture?
[01:13:15]  Where is it, Nathan?
[01:13:17]  Here I recall a recent interchange I had online with.
[01:13:20]  A heritage American fellow who said that he would defend his heritage simply because it was his heritage.
[01:13:27]  Now, I countered that he should not support his heritage if it ran on the rails of pagan worship and child rape and sacrifice.
[01:13:36]  Now, he didn't respond any further.
[01:13:38]  That is an important watershed moment in the Christian nationalism debate.
[01:13:44]  Now, we should not celebrate Anglo heritage simply because it's our heritage, but instead, we should celebrate it because it's ours.
[01:13:53]  And because it's good.
[01:13:56]  Our Anglo heritage is a good heritage.
[01:13:59]  So, why not craft contagious symbols and slogans which celebrate our heritage Christian culture?
[01:14:07]  Why not carve out and build Anglo heritage cultural forms?
[01:14:11]  Such forms are logically needed by all groups for communion, fellowship, and strength.
[01:14:17]  And the white male group is the group that is currently under an all out siege in our society.
[01:14:24]  It is logical for them to develop cultural forms to build fellowship and strength.
[01:14:30]  And so, all that being said, honor your father and happy white boy summer.
[01:14:36]  Thanks for tuning in.
