00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,940
Our identity is under attack as men and as women and God has given us our identity
2
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:15,080
So that is so important to hold on to our divinely inspired true identity and with me today is Lisa Brevere to talk about
3
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:17,400
the fight for female
4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,880
Reclaiming our divine identity and I am so excited to have you here Lisa. I've
5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:32,040
I've read of some I've seen some other interviews that you've done and what we're talking about today is so important because in our culture
6
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,520
The fight for female is real
7
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:39,740
Now, I mean there is an unmaking of the image of God
8
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:44,240
the enemy does not want the image of God to be
9
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,880
Clear and strong in our earth right now and it is it is more than a gender ideology. It is a
10
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,880
attack of a dragon
11
00:00:53,880 --> 00:01:01,380
It is a I hate those created in the image of God spiritual attack where I've been again
12
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:08,280
I think we don't understand it the enemy's goal is to attack the very formation of
13
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,440
the generations
14
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:17,000
Hoping that they will never trust God with their transformation hoping that they'll say I I God was random
15
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,540
He was not intentional when he wove me in my mother's womb. I cannot trust him to
16
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:27,720
Transform me. I cannot believe that he will meet my needs or be that high priest for me
17
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,800
Yeah, and if we can attack the identity of who we are as people
18
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:40,080
as man and woman but really as sons and daughters of God and if we
19
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Disconnect who people are in relation to the father in relation to into relation to Jesus and know that if we don't know that
20
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:54,800
Our value comes from him then there's no value amongst each other and therefore we can rip each other down tear each other down
21
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,720
And that's in my opinion. That's where racism sexism everything comes from
22
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Because we don't see value in other people because we don't believe that God has put value in people where did this
23
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,360
Where did this cultural mess up really start? How many understand that?
24
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,160
Well, I mean I believe the cultural mess up started in the garden
25
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,980
I mean when when we began to see this division and this questioning of divine purpose and divine identity
26
00:02:22,980 --> 00:02:30,400
It's worked its way all the way out and I sometimes see I sometimes thinks the devil believes the Bible more than Christians
27
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,520
Do he knows that houses divided fall kingdoms divided fall?
28
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,400
So he's like I'm gonna divide male and female I'm gonna divide black and white
29
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,760
I'm gonna divide right, you know all the races whether it's Asian whether it's Spanish, whatever it is
30
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,860
I'm gonna divide the old from the young. I'm going to divide the Christians from the Jews. I'm going to work
31
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:58,360
division into every single area of life and when I see this binary
32
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,060
Constant and when I say binary binary is not wrong. It's not wrong to have up and down. I'm saying divisive
33
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:06,540
using
34
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:08,540
Binary issues to be divisive
35
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:12,780
then what happens is we begin to collapse in ourselves and
36
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:17,460
And it's it's it's he doesn't need a new strategy. It's always worked
37
00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:23,700
He always questions the goodness of God. He always wants us to grasp at
38
00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:31,780
Being our own God to make remake ourselves in our own image. And so this is this is all woven and
39
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:34,220
consistent and
40
00:03:34,220 --> 00:03:42,400
You know just to be expected and yet we know that there is a increase in the demonic and and I shall we say
41
00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:50,180
You know Satan is operating full strength. He's not getting stronger and I still believe that but what I what I did not factor in is
42
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:53,380
That our nation has come into agreement
43
00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:59,140
With darkness we have invited things into our nation with all of our division
44
00:03:59,140 --> 00:04:05,500
With all of our pride with all of our greed with all of our sin with all of the abortion we have invited
45
00:04:06,420 --> 00:04:08,420
the the enemies
46
00:04:09,460 --> 00:04:11,460
Strongholds into our nation and
47
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:16,780
And it's so apparent with what is going on right now in our culture
48
00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:21,660
There are so many things that you're like that doesn't make any sense. Well, it will never make sense when it's demonic
49
00:04:21,900 --> 00:04:22,780
Yeah
50
00:04:22,780 --> 00:04:24,900
now you just mentioned about the garden and
51
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:32,980
I heard you talk in another interview about how you've you've been in at churches where pastors have said
52
00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:37,020
that it all started when the woman took the took the
53
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,700
fruit and sinned and
54
00:04:39,860 --> 00:04:44,740
So women shouldn't speak up or anything like that. And so it's just like that's kind of
55
00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:51,800
Wild that because Eve was the one that actually plucked the fruit that he's making that claim
56
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,500
I mean the Bible says that Adam was there with her which is for distinction
57
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:59,500
a lot of people forget and they took part in that together and
58
00:04:59,860 --> 00:05:05,140
We can we can talk about that. But let's just talk specifically about the attack on women
59
00:05:05,660 --> 00:05:09,620
Because there was this gender. There was this women's liberation movement
60
00:05:10,140 --> 00:05:12,140
I want to talk to you about that
61
00:05:12,340 --> 00:05:18,140
But yeah right now we're seeing men going into women's sports men taking the place of women
62
00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:22,540
So it seems women being okay with it and women being okay with it
63
00:05:22,540 --> 00:05:26,420
It seems very antithetical to the original what we thought was the original goal
64
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:30,300
Can we explain about this because you've done some research into that. Yeah, so
65
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:32,700
Yes, I have to be honest with you
66
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:39,180
I guess I always thought feminism started out good and that just kind of went sideways in the more recent decades
67
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:43,500
But that's not true. It has been sideways since the very beginning
68
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:50,100
I did not know that the mother of feminist thought was a woman named Mary Wolzencraft and Mary Wolzencraft
69
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:52,900
died in childbirth
70
00:05:52,940 --> 00:05:58,980
With her daughter Mary Shelley and Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley were kind of the ones that brought some of this
71
00:05:59,180 --> 00:06:02,060
Mindset forward her mother had been part of the French Revolution
72
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:10,740
They were the you know, they believed that the serpent was the wise counselor that God was prohibitive that marriage was wrong that marriage was
73
00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:14,500
something that no man or no woman should be shackled to
74
00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:16,820
Percy Shelley was
75
00:06:16,820 --> 00:06:20,020
Obsessed with the occult. I've even read I
76
00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:23,180
Didn't include in my book because I haven't been able to
77
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:26,340
totally validate it but our early
78
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:32,480
Liberation mother is Susan B. Anthony that they did seances. They had spirit tables
79
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,940
They you know like all this kind of different stuff now
80
00:06:36,860 --> 00:06:38,860
When I say all of that
81
00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:45,620
We as women achieved equal vote to equal rights equal pay for equal work
82
00:06:46,340 --> 00:06:49,940
long before the American feminist
83
00:06:50,780 --> 00:06:58,540
Wave as we would know it got together and said and and again this was shocking to me when twelve women twelve women get together
84
00:06:58,820 --> 00:07:05,860
Greenwich Village in the late 60s and they say why are we here today? And they said to make a cultural revolution
85
00:07:05,860 --> 00:07:13,680
How do we do? How do we make this revolution by destroying the American family now just right there you would think any
86
00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:20,180
Female organization would want to add value and add layers of protection to the American family
87
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:21,580
But that was their goal
88
00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:26,100
They said we're going to destroy the American family and then they said how do we destroy the American family?
89
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:30,180
well by destroying the American patriarch and
90
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:36,300
You know what is so crazy John when I started writing my book the fight for a female I had looked up the definition of
91
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:40,940
Patriarch at the beginning by the time I was done writing the book. They had changed they had
92
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:44,420
Updated the definition of the word patriarch and Miriam
93
00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:51,860
Weir's dictionary it went from a man worthy of honor and respect to the older oldest person in a tribe
94
00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:55,900
And so and then it had a negative, you know, like use it in a sentence
95
00:07:56,420 --> 00:07:59,340
and patriarchy white patriarchy and
96
00:07:59,340 --> 00:08:03,300
And so, you know, I'm looking at this and then they said take away his power
97
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:08,260
We're gonna take away the power of the American patriarch. We're destroying and Larry
98
00:08:08,260 --> 00:08:10,860
how do we take away his power by destroying monogamy and
99
00:08:11,580 --> 00:08:17,260
I was what in the world and they said how do we destroy monogamy and they said by promoting
100
00:08:18,220 --> 00:08:19,260
promiscuity
101
00:08:19,260 --> 00:08:20,420
prostitution eroticism
102
00:08:20,420 --> 00:08:26,360
Which would be pornography and homosexuality and then we went on to talk about how they were going to set up now
103
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:33,040
National Organization of Women and how this revolution needed to infiltrate every single area
104
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,000
And they took it all the way down to the library system and I'm sure you've seen
105
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,680
What happens when they pull the children's?
106
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Pornographic books out read them out loud
107
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,900
They get kicked out of school board meetings for reading graphic porn
108
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:53,400
But it's okay for it to remain in the library for the children and and I have heard this over and over and over again
109
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,560
If I happen to post something people say well, where are the feminists?
110
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,240
Where are the feminists? Why aren't they saying anything? Well, it's been their agenda
111
00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:09,280
So you have a few people that are courageous like a JK Rollins and she'll say something but the idea of
112
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:17,660
Womanhood is being assailed by the enemy. It is being sexualized by the culture and at the same time as you mentioned earlier
113
00:09:17,660 --> 00:09:25,500
They're silenced in the church and so we have these guardrails of silenced and sexualized and it creates a very narrow pathway
114
00:09:25,740 --> 00:09:32,620
For women to walk on how they can function how they can find their voice how they can find their value
115
00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:38,320
And so we have you know, the woman's body is is actually just a it's a costume
116
00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:44,080
You know drag queens and it's it's exaggerated or it's or if you're okay
117
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,860
Like that's one extreme than the other extreme is you're never pretty enough. You're never thin enough
118
00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:52,620
You're never you're never tall enough. You're never whatever whatever you are is never enough
119
00:09:52,620 --> 00:10:01,140
and so there's there's the diminishing of the feminine form and the sexualizing of the feminine forms, so the authentic feminine versus the
120
00:10:02,180 --> 00:10:04,700
exaggerated I don't even want to say feminine
121
00:10:05,660 --> 00:10:08,060
distorted character the caricature of
122
00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:09,980
absolutely
123
00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:14,980
so so we have that going on and you know women are
124
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:21,380
They can be more compliant and and so I've heard a lot of people say well, this is women just being compliant
125
00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:24,580
I I feel like it's demonic. I'm sorry. I feel like it is
126
00:10:25,380 --> 00:10:28,100
women either have lost their voice and
127
00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:35,860
Or they have misused their voice and and so when we have lost our voice or misused our voice
128
00:10:35,860 --> 00:10:42,600
It's hard to recover a position of strength and and so we for me. I'm like, how
129
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:46,180
Do we remember our divine origin?
130
00:10:46,940 --> 00:10:53,940
Because woman was not an she was not an afterthought her creation wasn't like oh maybe gosh Adam's lonely
131
00:10:53,940 --> 00:10:58,980
No, she was essential. She was necessary. And so there was a divine
132
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:01,700
weaving of woman and
133
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:08,100
We you know, we know what happened in the garden the fall did not happen till Adam ate
134
00:11:08,980 --> 00:11:13,980
And and you know, it's like people people that say oh the woman she just caused all these problems
135
00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:20,540
If Adam had said no it is written, you know, God said not to eat it
136
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:24,000
He didn't say anything about not touching it. She wasn't here. She doesn't know
137
00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:30,980
You know, he he was the one that was supposed to guard and steward and so he's the one that failed and and he
138
00:11:30,980 --> 00:11:34,180
He took the temptation to be like God apart from God
139
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:40,260
Because we know that that's true because when you go to the New Testament, it doesn't say through one woman sin
140
00:11:40,260 --> 00:11:45,180
It says to one man sin and one man's obedience. So
141
00:11:45,820 --> 00:11:51,820
Somehow and I don't know, you know, it's interesting. I was talking to some other leaders around this idea
142
00:11:51,820 --> 00:11:55,300
It almost feels like when you're dealing with
143
00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:00,340
Men they were completely saved and redeemed but when it comes to women
144
00:12:00,660 --> 00:12:04,940
They have to they're like they have to work it out. They have to work it out through childbearing
145
00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:07,940
They have to work out through head coverings. I have to work it out through, you know
146
00:12:08,420 --> 00:12:13,380
Being constantly quiet in the church or whatever. It's it's like there's a layer layer layer
147
00:12:13,380 --> 00:12:16,460
and I believe all those religious layers are
148
00:12:17,060 --> 00:12:18,420
also
149
00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:20,420
the enemy's ploy to
150
00:12:20,420 --> 00:12:24,820
Subdue and silence the woman's voice because God was the one
151
00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:31,140
Who said the woman must come out and have a voice and God would not have given her a voice if he meant for her
152
00:12:31,140 --> 00:12:34,420
To remain quiet. Yeah. Well even at the very beginning when
153
00:12:35,060 --> 00:12:42,340
jesus 315 when when God says to the to the woman and this actually the to the serpent at that point
154
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:47,220
That your seat will be at MC with her seat and but you know, it's like
155
00:12:47,220 --> 00:12:49,860
God has had major purpose for women
156
00:12:50,340 --> 00:12:55,300
in his plan since the very beginning and I personally believe that
157
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:58,820
Adam wouldn't have known what it meant to be alone
158
00:12:59,380 --> 00:13:06,020
Unless there was a little bit of time between you know, the between whenever eve came whenever god brought eve to him
159
00:13:06,580 --> 00:13:10,260
Out of his side. So, you know, it's not good for him to be alone
160
00:13:10,820 --> 00:13:13,460
Therefore he needed to be alone for a little bit just to see
161
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:19,540
Yeah, what in the naming process? I mean time was not measured there the way we understand time
162
00:13:19,540 --> 00:13:22,740
You know, there's uh, most hebrew scholars say the fall created time
163
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:29,140
That there was no time before the fall and god created time to create a line segment
164
00:13:29,460 --> 00:13:34,100
You know because here's our god. I mean, he's so amazing isaiah says he finishes something then begins it
165
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:39,060
So god taught us before we fell so there was eternity past eternity future
166
00:13:39,060 --> 00:13:45,460
And he said i'm going to end something that i'm going to begin it and we're living in that time segment that that line segment
167
00:13:45,460 --> 00:13:52,020
Of time where the redemptive purpose of god is being played out and it needs to be played out for male and female
168
00:13:52,340 --> 00:13:55,460
There are battles for the women to fight and there's battles for the men to fight
169
00:13:55,780 --> 00:14:00,900
But for too long the women have been fighting the men and the men have been fighting the women
170
00:14:01,220 --> 00:14:05,780
Instead of doing what jesus modeled for all of us is to say to the serpent it is written
171
00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:10,900
It is written and and again, you know, I I love that you brought up genesis and the serpent and enmity
172
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:17,380
I was just this weekend at a church and and I know it's intimidating when somebody asks something from the stage
173
00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:22,900
But I said to them when god put enmity between the woman and the serpent
174
00:14:23,460 --> 00:14:26,260
Whose side did god put the woman on?
175
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:31,620
And they they just all looked at me. I said, okay, i'm i'm going to help you. There's two sides
176
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:37,620
There's evil that would be the serpent and there's good and that's only god
177
00:14:38,180 --> 00:14:41,780
So whose side did god say the woman was partnering with?
178
00:14:42,820 --> 00:14:44,100
And we know
179
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:45,300
It was
180
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:51,620
God that the seed jesus came through a woman independent of a man a man was not involved in that
181
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:57,860
The holy spirit overshadowed her it was her chromosome structure only not 48 but 24
182
00:14:57,860 --> 00:15:04,500
Is what they're finding when they're looking into this the idea of the blood that they feel like is representation of jesus
183
00:15:04,820 --> 00:15:09,620
And so like god is saying hey women have always been part of my redemptive plan
184
00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:14,580
And the enemy is like I hate them. So now we have not just a woman
185
00:15:15,140 --> 00:15:21,720
Not just mary not just israel. We have the church the church and we see in revelation 1217
186
00:15:22,340 --> 00:15:24,820
And then the dragon was the serpent
187
00:15:24,820 --> 00:15:32,760
117 and then the dragon was enraged or furious with the woman and we make war against her children
188
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:37,720
And this is what we're going on right now. You know, I had this incredible opportunity
189
00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:41,300
uh, I think it's about a year and a half ago, I was speaking at a church and
190
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,340
Afterwards the matriarch of the church was there
191
00:15:44,420 --> 00:15:49,540
She's she's an older woman and she pulled me aside and she said did you ever get a chance to meet derrick prince?
192
00:15:49,940 --> 00:15:54,020
And I said, you know, I did not familiar with him, but I never met him and she said well
193
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:57,540
We hosted him and my husband I drove him back to the hotel
194
00:15:57,940 --> 00:16:02,180
And when it was time for him to get out we turned around and looked and he was sitting in the back weeping
195
00:16:03,140 --> 00:16:05,620
And we said brother prince what what's going on?
196
00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:09,140
And he said I see an attack coming against the women
197
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:13,460
And if the enemy can get the women he will get the children
198
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:16,420
And I mean, this is what is going on
199
00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:22,740
Women women are the last line of defense. The enemy has done an exceptional job of
200
00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:24,740
emasculating the men
201
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,920
Of telling the women you don't need men
202
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,840
Feminists what the feminist thought was if you want to be a powerful woman africa man behave sexually like a man go out and work
203
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,280
Full-time you don't how dare you stay home with your children
204
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,920
Oh my goodness, go out there and work for somebody else put your kids in daycare. You know, I mean, it's just this mindset
205
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:49,560
That is so shocking when you actually take it out spread it on the table and look at it for what it is
206
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,120
And yes, were there oppressive men? Yes
207
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:58,760
The other is there men that are toxic? Yes, but so are women there are toxic women
208
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:05,480
There are toxic men, but masculinity and femininity in and of themselves are not toxic. They're an expression of the image of god
209
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:10,760
Absolutely. Yeah, there's so many different things that you've brought up there that we could go a couple different ways
210
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:16,200
I want to talk about your dream that god gave you about the dragons. We'll talk about that in just a moment
211
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,680
I want to ask about I want to ask a little bit deeper because you said
212
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,480
earlier on that the early
213
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Women's liberation movement the feminist push
214
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,920
There was a cult practices and seances and things like that
215
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:38,360
And you have this revelation about a particular spell that people are unwilling or unknowingly
216
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,840
Saying whenever they're saying that the future is female help us understand the revelation that you have about this
217
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,600
Yeah, so I you know, I live in franklin tennessee, which is a christian bubble
218
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,160
And I went to a coffee shop wearing a t-shirt that said the future is male and female
219
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,800
And I had guys like thank you. Thank you for including us in the future. I'm like, you're welcome
220
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:02,760
I had women saying I need the t-shirt. I'm like you're right. So I thought you know, everybody's happy about this
221
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,840
So I did a selfie
222
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,360
In my car with the t-shirt that said the future is male and female and I wrote underneath that
223
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,560
The future is male and female because without male and female there is no future
224
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,440
That's basically your parents. It's not even deep and um
225
00:18:19,220 --> 00:18:21,400
922 comments later pp
226
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,120
Furious with me
227
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:27,020
You are cosigning with patriarchy
228
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:34,040
It's always been the men's turn. It's our turn now. Jesus would never agree with the oppression of women
229
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,640
You are agreeing with the oppression of women. This is coding like all lives matter
230
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:44,840
Uh, this is a demon of hate. This is transphobe. This is anti-lgtbq. I mean everything everything
231
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Then they all started fighting with each other
232
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,280
and
233
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,280
John this is something i've learned
234
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,440
Whenever you have this
235
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,920
Much of an overcharged reaction on something
236
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,360
There is something darker behind it. So I just I came home
237
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,560
And I just typed into my laptop. What is the origin of the quote? The future is female because the addition had male
238
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,800
So I was like, what is the origin and a washington post article came up?
239
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,640
And it was talking about the origin of the quote the future is female and it was
240
00:19:16,180 --> 00:19:19,000
Originated with a group called labras. You think what's labras?
241
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:26,280
well, the labras is a two-headed axe carried by amazons and roman and greek goddesses and
242
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,320
labras was a lesbian separatist group and the
243
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:36,780
Uh t-shirt that said the future is female was part of a presentation called what a well-dressed dyke would wear in 1975
244
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,240
And they were so excited
245
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:45,080
That hillary had brought the quote back to the forefront and her campaign because they said
246
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:50,360
The quote the future is female was a call to war an invocation and a spell to cast
247
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,160
And I was like what in the world but they didn't even stop there john
248
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,860
25 percent of the proceeds not profits proceeds go to planned parenthood
249
00:20:01,180 --> 00:20:07,740
So now we've got the doubles that it adds basically more than tithing to uh to that because our tithe comes before
250
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:15,340
Taxes and everything so they're doing that 25 before taxes before everything goes to that is ridiculous
251
00:20:15,740 --> 00:20:17,260
Human necrophiles
252
00:20:17,260 --> 00:20:19,100
They've got goddesses
253
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:23,420
They've got separating females from males when god says they're not good for man to be alone
254
00:20:23,420 --> 00:20:25,420
I mean, it's the antithesis
255
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:27,020
of
256
00:20:27,020 --> 00:20:31,180
What god meant for male and female and so it was right after that
257
00:20:31,980 --> 00:20:35,740
I'm you know, i'm speaking to you from my house and um right after that
258
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:39,740
One of my grandsons my grandson who turned 15 actually today
259
00:20:40,060 --> 00:20:43,420
He showed up at my front door and basically they come in my house to go to the pantry
260
00:20:43,420 --> 00:20:47,260
I think their mom says no snacks and they just come to my house. And so
261
00:20:48,060 --> 00:20:51,260
When I have this access to a 14 year old boy, I said hey
262
00:20:51,260 --> 00:20:54,780
What are your thoughts on the quote? The future is female
263
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:59,500
And he paused and he said then i'm unnecessary
264
00:21:01,180 --> 00:21:03,180
And I thought wow
265
00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:05,500
Is that what we want to say to our sons?
266
00:21:05,980 --> 00:21:10,940
Is that what we want to say to our fathers our brothers our co-workers our husbands?
267
00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:15,020
Is this is this is this the message is this the divine?
268
00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:21,820
The divine identity that god gave to woman to say the men are unnecessary when god said the woman
269
00:21:22,220 --> 00:21:26,700
The addition of the woman takes everything and makes it so very very good
270
00:21:27,180 --> 00:21:33,020
And I get it that the you know, the angry progressive people are going to say well the men have acted like we're unnecessary
271
00:21:33,020 --> 00:21:37,500
So now we're going to act like they're unnecessary. Well, that's not godly. We don't slap back
272
00:21:38,140 --> 00:21:40,620
We take back our divine origin
273
00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:46,380
And nobody can take away my divine identity and origin and when I say divine people get stressed out saying
274
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:50,860
You know, you're seeing feminine female divine. No, i'm saying that my divine
275
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,860
Weaving god wove me on purpose to be a female with divine intention
276
00:21:57,260 --> 00:22:03,100
He was like this is my daughter for this time period and it wasn't random
277
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:10,380
It was intentional and so what we've got is we've got this male and female being pitted against one another
278
00:22:11,340 --> 00:22:14,860
I mean even even going back to what we were talking earlier about them saying
279
00:22:15,340 --> 00:22:20,140
How do we destroy the american family destroy the american patriot? How do we destroy him take away his power?
280
00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:25,100
So somehow they knew that male and female together equaled a power union
281
00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:29,180
But so they created a power struggle. They're like we're going to have to divide
282
00:22:29,180 --> 00:22:35,500
What god said i'm going to unite and so everything that we're seeing right now
283
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:38,620
We're looking at at it in the culture as a face value
284
00:22:38,620 --> 00:22:44,540
But we need to look behind and understand there is a dragon in the shadows. There is a demonic
285
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:51,260
Agenda that is dividing male and female and you know, i've had this incredible privilege to speak
286
00:22:51,740 --> 00:22:56,220
In I spoke at a cultural summit earlier this year where there were both men and female
287
00:22:56,220 --> 00:23:02,540
President and I literally had the men stand up john and I said
288
00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:07,980
I break the words of toxic masculinity off of you
289
00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:10,860
We need you
290
00:23:10,860 --> 00:23:16,060
To be the men that god created you to be and I am sorry that we we as women
291
00:23:16,540 --> 00:23:18,540
Tried to tell you how you had to behave as men
292
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:24,620
And so and then last week I had the privilege of being at a chapel at or you and
293
00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:28,320
And afterwards so many beautiful young men saying
294
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:31,360
We can't remember what it is
295
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,720
To be a man
296
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,400
To be to be masculine and and not be mocked for it
297
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,120
And and and so here's the thing god wants to restore male and female
298
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,680
to their divine
299
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:53,120
Mandate that when god said i'm going to give you the power to multiply and we've got to stop using our power to divide
300
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:58,640
Decrease diminish, you know if if men have used their power to oppress women
301
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,640
They need to repent of that but women if they've used their power to manipulate men
302
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:09,680
they need to repent of that and we need to forgive and we need to move forward in in strength and truth and um,
303
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,480
I've started this book with a dream, but I ended it with a do
304
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:18,260
Because if we cannot have practical applications
305
00:24:18,260 --> 00:24:24,020
to spiritual principles, we're going to be in trouble and as much as I
306
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:32,180
I love to think that we could take to the streets and and switch everything what I find best is we fight by flourishing
307
00:24:32,660 --> 00:24:39,060
Amen. Amen. Well, you mentioned about this dream and so I want to I want to hear you tell his dream again
308
00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:43,380
Um, and really what inspired you to write this this book?
309
00:24:43,380 --> 00:24:51,300
Yeah, so first of all, I um, I had the dream in 2016 which is crazy looking back now
310
00:24:52,020 --> 00:24:54,020
Um, I was speaking at a women's event
311
00:24:54,020 --> 00:24:58,580
I was so excited to be alone in a king-size bed where I could turn down the temperature to
312
00:24:59,220 --> 00:25:04,020
To 65 because I was going through menopause. I was like, this is my dream. I'm like i'm so excited
313
00:25:04,020 --> 00:25:09,220
I'm making this room freezing cold. I'm spreading out in the bed and I i'm a i'm a sound sleeper
314
00:25:09,220 --> 00:25:15,860
I sleep on my side. I don't move around and there's reasons why i'm saying all that and I I fall asleep
315
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:22,660
And in my dream, I find myself on the threshold of a green room and a green room of people like what's that?
316
00:25:23,380 --> 00:25:25,200
It's a room of
317
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,740
Influencers speakers thought leaders, you know, and and it was it was a the room was packed
318
00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:35,780
It was filled with a lot of people. I remember thinking I know these people and they knew me
319
00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:39,860
But I don't remember any of them. I don't I I can't say oh I saw that person in the room
320
00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:41,940
I just knew that we had relationship
321
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:48,420
And when I leaned a little closer, I realized that all the women were holding something close to their chest on and I
322
00:25:48,660 --> 00:25:50,660
I was like, what are they what are they holding?
323
00:25:50,820 --> 00:25:54,980
And they were holding different rainbow colored or dual tone baby dragons
324
00:25:55,300 --> 00:26:00,100
So there were sapphire there were ruby there were the bright yellow the citron there was emerald green
325
00:26:00,340 --> 00:26:03,780
And all of these baby dragons were dressed up in children's clothing
326
00:26:03,780 --> 00:26:09,780
Which is bizarre, but you know how people dress up their yorkies or the poodles, which i'm always like why anyway
327
00:26:10,020 --> 00:26:16,180
So they they've dressed up these dragons and and I you know, I took it as them saying these are safe. These are pets
328
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:21,780
And so I came up to the first one and I said do you do you understand what you're holding? And she was like
329
00:26:22,660 --> 00:26:25,380
Yes, I said that's a dragon. That's a dragon and she was like
330
00:26:25,860 --> 00:26:30,420
You know kind of looking over me like she doesn't understand to somebody else who was also holding a dragon
331
00:26:30,420 --> 00:26:36,500
And and she said these are different dragons. These are the wise kind dragons and I said, oh no
332
00:26:37,060 --> 00:26:41,060
No, no, no, there's no agreement between daughters and dragons
333
00:26:41,220 --> 00:26:44,660
So I went from woman to woman trying to make somebody listen to me
334
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:49,460
Somebody tried to get me to pet the dragon and I was like no i'm not petting your dragon because that would be
335
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,380
agreeing
336
00:26:51,380 --> 00:26:53,380
That's something very dangerous is safe
337
00:26:53,860 --> 00:26:57,460
And in my dream I turned from the person that was trying to get me to pet the dragon
338
00:26:57,460 --> 00:27:02,420
And somebody thrust the dragon her dragon towards me and said here hold it and in my dream john
339
00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:09,620
I reached out grabbed the dragon by the neck and snapped its neck and I wake up and my arms are flying
340
00:27:09,620 --> 00:27:12,900
And i'm on my back and i'm like what just happened this dream
341
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:18,020
Was actually being acted out in my physical and so I typed the whole thing out
342
00:27:18,340 --> 00:27:23,620
I sent it off to some people that are supposed to be going with dream interpretations. They're like we we got nothing
343
00:27:23,620 --> 00:27:28,580
We we got nothing and I was like, okay, that was bizarre. But you know, there are dreams that you have
344
00:27:29,620 --> 00:27:31,620
That stay with you
345
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:36,580
And then there's dreams that you you know, like by noon you've forgotten them. Well, you can still see this one
346
00:27:37,300 --> 00:27:38,740
and
347
00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:40,740
You know, I I had written it out
348
00:27:41,060 --> 00:27:42,000
then
349
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,620
2020 happens
350
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:47,540
I I see abigail schreyer's book on irreversible damage on me
351
00:27:47,620 --> 00:27:48,660
What's going on?
352
00:27:48,660 --> 00:27:55,620
And then I start to see different things and I start to see the sexualization of women. I start to see the sexualization of children
353
00:27:55,780 --> 00:27:58,680
I don't know if you saw this this week. Good morning america
354
00:27:59,940 --> 00:28:01,440
I mean
355
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,500
horrified i'm horrified horrified horrified and um
356
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:10,580
It just this child, I mean adults clapping
357
00:28:11,140 --> 00:28:15,860
For the sexualization of children and and people like well, that's a pat. No, it wasn't a pageant
358
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:22,500
It was a trans it was a child who has is a boy genetically being raised as a girl and being I mean
359
00:28:23,220 --> 00:28:25,220
I just was I
360
00:28:26,180 --> 00:28:30,580
Yeah, I when I started my book I was angry by the end of it I was heartbroken
361
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:32,500
and so
362
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:33,460
I've
363
00:28:33,460 --> 00:28:36,660
Started to see this and I thought oh my gosh. It's my dream
364
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:39,380
When I saw the women weren't using their voice
365
00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:43,140
When I had reposted just an athletic thing
366
00:28:43,140 --> 00:28:47,220
Um, it was it wasn't even a christian thing. It was a watch company that said
367
00:28:47,620 --> 00:28:51,540
Um, you know, I was telling this whole story about a dad training his daughter
368
00:28:51,780 --> 00:28:56,980
There's no woman alive that could ever beat you with running and then she comes down to the starting line
369
00:28:57,060 --> 00:29:02,020
She looks over and there's a guy and all of her life all of the training and all I wrote underneath
370
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:06,820
I reposted it and I said keep use your voice and keep your daughter's dreams alive
371
00:29:07,460 --> 00:29:11,380
And you cannot believe the christian backlash I got
372
00:29:11,380 --> 00:29:14,920
Trans women are women. How dare you say this blah blah blah
373
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Well, i'm not going to be like he saw
374
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,360
I'm not going to sell my birthright
375
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,360
I god
376
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,400
Told adam whatever you name something it is
377
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:31,080
And he is the one who gave me the name woman and man doesn't get to take it back
378
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,080
He doesn't get to add a prefix to it
379
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,000
And I don't get to add a prefix to you know a man
380
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,040
But here's the problem and this is what I think women do
381
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,040
Um, and this is what I think women don't get
382
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,040
um
383
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,520
Men are not afraid of the smaller weaker versions
384
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,080
pretending to be them
385
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,320
But women are at risk of men
386
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,160
in formerly
387
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,000
female spaces
388
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:03,000
And and this is how real this is because people think it's not real. I uh, I recently traveled home from a trip
389
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:08,840
I was actually I think I was in another country and I was waiting for john he was flying in and you know
390
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,640
She was we were 45 minutes apart and I thought well, just i'll just wait
391
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,880
And then the whoever was picking us up could just pick us both up at once
392
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,100
So i'm waiting and I watch a man walk right into the women's restroom in nashville, tennessee
393
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,200
And I don't know if it was because I hadn't slept all night. I don't know what it was
394
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,680
I followed him in there and I said, excuse me
395
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:35,720
This is the woman's restroom and he jumped a mile and he said oh, oh, I thought it was a baggage claim
396
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,680
He'd already walked past the sinks like so the the way it's configured is there sinks
397
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,800
And then you turn and there's stalls. He was turning the corner towards the stalls
398
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,400
And I said, oh did you did you think the bags were coming out of the toilet?
399
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,840
I said you need to come out of here right now my boys
400
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,800
I mean my boys were like mom you're not big and I said I felt big I felt big in that moment
401
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:03,320
I mean and people say, you know, well, you know, maybe he wouldn't have hurt me and he wasn't dressed as a woman
402
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,440
Uh, maybe he wouldn't have hurt me maybe you know, whatever
403
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,160
I don't care about me. I care about my granddaughters and so at the end of the day
404
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,040
Why I am writing?
405
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,080
is
406
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,080
There is a generation
407
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,400
That is being told
408
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,440
That their formation is a mistake
409
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,880
There is a generation that the enemy has divided their gender identity
410
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,680
Which would be their soul from their frame their body. They are walking around
411
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Bodies divided he is he is he is saying you can't trust god
412
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,680
and and I and here's the here's the beautiful thing and I don't know if you saw this in the book, but
413
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,520
I had I had someone who was a younger christian. She said to me if if
414
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,560
Jesus was sitting here with you and I and my friend who believes she's born in the wrong body was sitting here
415
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,200
What would he say to her?
416
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,760
And I'm like, oh my gosh
417
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,840
And I said, well first he would say I love you
418
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,640
Second he would say you're not a mistake
419
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,200
And I think we do a really good job saying those two things, but we have to take it a little further
420
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,600
I said third he would say I understand and I could tell she kind of like
421
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,600
Why would jesus understand? Well, it's not because jesus was ever transgender
422
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,880
But if there was ever anybody that was ever uncomfortable in their human body, it would be jesus
423
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,640
And you think where do you get that from? Well philippians 2
424
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,760
Philippians 2 says that jesus
425
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,760
Set aside his divine form
426
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,580
Emptied himself of his divine privileges
427
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,640
and took on
428
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,640
flesh that he became a
429
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:46,280
Slave he became a servant he became us so we could become him and and if there was I mean, i've only been
430
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,200
A child of you know, a human child. I've never been
431
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:56,760
The son of god, you know, so i've never understood divine form divine identity. I mean, of course, I understand
432
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,080
I'm a child of god. I have a divine identity that i'm growing into but my
433
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:01,320
form
434
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,520
Is flesh
435
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,000
And so we need to be able to say
436
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,560
That plus we have corinthians where it says that my life right now is just a seed
437
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,120
Of who i'll actually be so with this longing for more and more and more
438
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,480
More money more whatever we we try to but the truth is our more is found in eternity
439
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,800
That when I go into the earth and die who I really am comes up in eternity
440
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,320
Then we also need to put them with the heebus for that. We have a high priest
441
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,120
We have a high priest who?
442
00:33:30,420 --> 00:33:32,420
understands the frailty
443
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,840
of the human body
444
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,520
And so we need to push an entire generation that has been lied to
445
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,200
Into the presence of god and when I read this whole
446
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,840
parable of the banquet
447
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,760
I feel like those are the people on the highways and byways. It's the internet highways and byways
448
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,240
And we need to compel them to come in
449
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,040
Yeah, absolutely and I love how you said that jesus
450
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:06,520
More than anybody would would understand what it's like to be in the different body or the wrong body because I mean god coming and being flesh
451
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,720
And dwelling among us. I mean that's the word behind flesh. I mean that's
452
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,440
He would understand better than anybody else
453
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,200
And he also brings restoration better than anybody else
454
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,000
and purpose and calling
455
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,080
With this book with this message, it's which is really powerful and very needed
456
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,680
What are some of those action steps that we can do because I like why you said, you know
457
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,400
It started with a dream, but it ends with things to do. What are some of these things that we can actually do?
458
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,960
Well, and this was the exciting and shocking thing for me. First of all
459
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,320
And i'm going to tell a little background talk about
460
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,840
um, and i'm going to tell a little background to to actually
461
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,200
Position what you can do because everybody's like I need to be a social justice lawyer
462
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,120
I need to start argue with people on social media. I need to start saying well
463
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,760
I had this incredible privilege to
464
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,060
interview a man who is an expert in totalitarianism
465
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:11,320
And he had written a book and he's a psychoanalyst and a professor in belgium
466
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:18,040
And then he's in belgium. He explained that totalitarianism had taken over his country
467
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:23,160
And so he watched this unfold and i'm listening to him and i'm like, okay, what do we do?
468
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,400
What do we do? I'm a mother hum. What do I do?
469
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:30,920
He said I said do we take to the streets and he said well first of all protests and violence
470
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,080
They validate totalitarianism where they think we've got to we've got to we got to control the situation
471
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,680
He said what you need to do is consistent
472
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,680
consistent courageous
473
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:49,000
Conversations and he's not even a christian. I'm just talking to him and as he's talking to me john
474
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,160
I thought that's how the book of acts they went from house to help
475
00:35:54,260 --> 00:35:57,320
Fighting with people on social media is not going to change it
476
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,960
We have gotten so
477
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,200
bad at having
478
00:36:02,260 --> 00:36:05,500
Conversations so so we need to have consistent
479
00:36:06,660 --> 00:36:08,340
courageous
480
00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:13,320
Conversations I uh, I babysat my grandkids for eight days when their kids
481
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:18,840
I mean where their parents went to the uk john left john was like I i'm i'm capping out
482
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,840
I can only do one great childhood time
483
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:21,880
so
484
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,880
You know and it rained the entire time which I
485
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,000
I started to have so much sympathy for parents who are like screens screens because I really you don't do screens at g mama's
486
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,280
house and
487
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:36,360
I can't remember it was like day four my seven-year-old. She was seven at the time granddaughter looked at me and she said do you know?
488
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,360
that
489
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,400
uh
490
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,760
Sarah my neighborhood is now samuel. I was like no I didn't
491
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:47,480
And she said yeah, she's she's cut her hair and she's gonna go to new school now and be a boy
492
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,120
And I said, all right
493
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,760
I said well what if g mama put on a giraffe outfit that would that make me a giraffe?
494
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:58,760
And she's smarter than me and she said you're too short to be a giraffe
495
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:04,920
And I said well, I identify as a short giraffe and she's like that's stupid and they said you're right. So
496
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,240
Is she a boy because she cut her hair
497
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,440
And she said no I said why not?
498
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,080
If she looks like a boy, why isn't she a boy? And she said, you know, I said no, I don't tell me why
499
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,640
Tell me and she goes
500
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,280
her bottom and and so, you know, I
501
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:21,800
I
502
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,160
Then my other granddaughter brought up the conversation. I said tell me what's happening
503
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,080
in this family
504
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,560
And I learned that the parents had just gotten divorced
505
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,320
And I I remembered my life in eighth grade
506
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,520
And this girl was younger. Um, but my life in eighth grade
507
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:43,800
My parents came and told me that they were divorcing. I remember I went from highest math highest english to low
508
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,600
Whisk I refused to do my homework. I refused to do, you know, turn in my assignments
509
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:53,320
I refused to participate in class. I sat there like this. I was so angry john
510
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,720
If somebody would have come to me and said, you know what?
511
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,000
You're also a late bloomer lisa. Perhaps you're really a boy
512
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,640
I would have said, you know what everything else in my life
513
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,200
Is wrong. You're probably right
514
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:12,600
I'm probably a boy. I used to wear oshkosh by gosh overalls to hide the fact that I was scrawny and tiny
515
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
And I was a tomboy
516
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,640
But see that was god's preparation for me to be a mother of four sons
517
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:25,800
But I could have said I'm not feminine enough. I'm not pretty enough. I'm not curvy enough
518
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,240
I'm not whatever
519
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:28,680
and yet
520
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,720
And yet god weaves each of us
521
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:39,400
uniquely and especially and in a season of going from girl to woman or boy to man you do not
522
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,880
Force somebody to make a decision
523
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,200
When they're in transition of growing up
524
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
You know, and so there's this
525
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:54,120
Sexualizing of our youth at the youngest age and so for me, this was a rescue
526
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,760
It was I'm going to give
527
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:03,720
Mom some conversation points. I signed books for like two hours this weekend and the women are like thank you for giving me words to say
528
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,080
Thank you for actually giving me permission to talk
529
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:14,760
People follow courage and when nobody says anything or when there's just a nuance when all the christians are nuanced
530
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:21,240
There's no clarity and where there's no clarity people shut down. There's no conversation
531
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:26,780
We need to have clarity because a lack of clarity is unkind
532
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:33,000
And so we need to say the image of god is male and female. Yes. I understand there's intersex, but there's still only two genders
533
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:40,680
Even it's still it's still a mixing of just x and y and and those are very small percentages
534
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,960
But this is proving the whole spotted and speckled principle that what you put in front of people
535
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,160
Is what they actually what they behold is what they become
536
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:56,520
You know, okay, I i'm less than i'm this constant comparison if I can do that if I can become that if I change into that image
537
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:02,520
Then I will be loved. I will be safe. I will be you know, whatever whatever the
538
00:40:03,300 --> 00:40:10,200
Unspoken need is that they're promising to fill and so for me I wanted every person to understand
539
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,960
You know, like don't be compliant with the distortion of language
540
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,200
Don't be afraid to use your voice in your neighborhood and and i'm not talking about
541
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,480
Organizing a protest i'm talking about just talking to people
542
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:29,880
Talking to people and then you know understanding that if what we talked about earlier about if the feminists were able to
543
00:40:30,420 --> 00:40:32,420
deconstruct the family
544
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,720
Then our our goal would be to restore
545
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,880
So we can reverse engineer everything that the enemy has done
546
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:45,160
And then the other thing I love and this is this is this is something that I feel
547
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,880
I feel so passionate about
548
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:53,740
During the pandemic there was another epidemic that happened. It was an epidemic of cowardice
549
00:40:54,200 --> 00:41:00,360
Where people started to placate and and shrink and say one thing and then if they got attacked they you know, they they
550
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,520
It just shut they lost their voice
551
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,280
and
552
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,160
One of the things I loved the most was
553
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:13,000
One of the things I loved the most about riley gaines and it's not something that other people highlight
554
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:19,480
But I want to highlight it wasn't so much that she's a cultural voice right now. It was that she wasn't
555
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,160
Wasn't
556
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,920
And then she was
557
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,800
And the truth is that we can be complicit and compliant one day
558
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,520
And the next day
559
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,360
We can recover our voice
560
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:41,160
That god's mercy that is new every single morning is the empowerment of courage and an outpouring of the holy spirit
561
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,640
is way further than
562
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:49,020
Speaking in tongues falling down whatever was shaking it is an outpouring
563
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,480
of courage
564
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:57,560
And authority and we don't ever talk about that, but it talks about when these unlearned fishermen
565
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:03,820
Spoke with authority with boldness and so we in the church we need to stop
566
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:07,420
Speaking things as though they were question marks
567
00:42:08,380 --> 00:42:13,260
and we need to put some periods and exclamation marks on our words and um,
568
00:42:13,820 --> 00:42:17,340
You know and even even in this time period like there used to be
569
00:42:17,820 --> 00:42:23,420
I went out to dinner with somebody who's very active in politics and she's very much about pro-child politics
570
00:42:23,420 --> 00:42:27,660
And she said lisa there was a time where you could be nuanced and say hey
571
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:29,500
She said
572
00:42:29,500 --> 00:42:31,500
We're not we're not in that time anymore
573
00:42:33,340 --> 00:42:35,340
It's very clear
574
00:42:35,580 --> 00:42:36,620
about
575
00:42:36,620 --> 00:42:38,620
light and dark lies and truth
576
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:40,860
and and we
577
00:42:40,860 --> 00:42:42,220
Christians
578
00:42:42,220 --> 00:42:46,700
We need to stand in the middle and declare truth, which means we will be shot at from both sides
579
00:42:47,180 --> 00:42:49,180
But it's it's
580
00:42:49,340 --> 00:42:52,380
When I say stand in the middle, i'm not saying compromise. I'm just saying
581
00:42:52,380 --> 00:42:54,620
We've got extreme here extreme here
582
00:42:55,180 --> 00:43:00,220
You know, like i'm a big fan of conservative news, but they're not going to bring anybody to jesus
583
00:43:01,820 --> 00:43:05,580
So, you know i'm saying they're just gonna they're just gonna make me feel hopeless
584
00:43:06,380 --> 00:43:07,820
or angry
585
00:43:07,820 --> 00:43:11,420
So I have to be the one who can stand in the middle and say
586
00:43:12,220 --> 00:43:14,220
But jesus is the answer amen
587
00:43:14,940 --> 00:43:16,380
and not trump
588
00:43:16,380 --> 00:43:17,340
jesus
589
00:43:17,340 --> 00:43:21,100
And then at the other side where you're talking about progressive and liberal
590
00:43:21,100 --> 00:43:23,100
Where I can say excuse me
591
00:43:23,900 --> 00:43:25,900
uh debauchery
592
00:43:25,900 --> 00:43:27,900
Abortion those are
593
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:30,860
Caving into our basis level. That's not the answer
594
00:43:31,820 --> 00:43:32,700
um
595
00:43:32,700 --> 00:43:39,420
You know, and so we we have to we have to stand in the middle declare truth and I feel like scripture is very very clear
596
00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:42,780
um about what god values and for me
597
00:43:43,420 --> 00:43:49,660
Image of god and sanctity of life are are no compromise compromise zone. Amen. Amen
598
00:43:49,660 --> 00:43:51,660
Amen. Amen
599
00:43:51,660 --> 00:43:57,100
Alisa, I really appreciate this conversation and I don't want to miss this opportunity to ask you to pray for the people that have been
600
00:43:57,100 --> 00:44:01,980
Watching this I do want to encourage everybody to get this book the the fight for female
601
00:44:02,620 --> 00:44:06,540
Because it is not just for women. Of course, it's it's definitely written
602
00:44:07,340 --> 00:44:12,140
more towards women, but it is the fight for female that everybody needs to get involved with this because
603
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,800
Biblical god-given femininity
604
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,160
Uh, the female is under attack right now
605
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:27,440
The image of god in the woman is under attack and we both men and women need to stand up for that
606
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,520
Lisa, thank you so much for giving us some ways that we can do that
607
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:37,280
Would you pray for our for everybody that's been watching right now? That would be our father. I just thank you
608
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,760
That you are the one that said it's not good for man to be alone
609
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,840
You are the one that formed women to be an answer
610
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,840
to the loneliness of man
611
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,840
but it wasn't because she was just a supplement
612
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:57,440
But that she was necessary and so father I speak to every woman who has lost her voice
613
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,120
To every woman who is afraid to use her voice
614
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:06,160
For every woman who is only known how to speak in anger and vengeance
615
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:11,680
And father, I thank you that your holy spirit is bringing healing and truth
616
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:17,600
I thank you that male and female is a power union. I thank you that we are not wrestling with flesh and blood
617
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,560
But we are wrestling with principalities and powers
618
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:26,640
And rulers of wickedness in high places that exalt themselves against us knowing
619
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:32,800
God so father. I thank you that this is a battle that is too big for any of us
620
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:38,400
To fight individually. I thank you father that you have never made it more clear
621
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,760
That there is a dragon in the shadows. So father give us one voice give us one heart
622
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,600
With your son. Let us glorify him. Let holy spirit
623
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,640
Make us one that we would see the same glory
624
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,440
Give us eyes to see ears to hear
625
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:01,840
A heart to believe and a voice to speak what your spirit is doing and saying
626
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,960
And we renounce the lies of the enemy
627
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,000
We renounce the sexualization of womanhood
628
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,720
