Blossomed [One Minute Feature]

Our culture has become dependent on digital technology that if it were to shut off, people would literally be hysterical and would not know what to do, especially our kids.

Are we reaping what we as a society have sown? Do you believe that the moral standards that we once knew are no longer valued by our society?

What We Have Sown

I was talking with an expert about what digital technology is doing and has done to our kids, a PHD in fact. We agree that the anarchy that we are seeing as a form of cognitive dissonance and the absence of logical consistent thought with no objective moral standards. What we are seeing are the adult products of a generation of kids who have amused themselves into imbecility with the foolishness of one another's ignorance, lies and advice on the internet. Add to that a full childhood of violent video games. We saw these days coming and now we are giving all these disconnected thoughts and logic for sake of adult kids of the new millennium free range to take their warped worldview and ruin everything that past heroes have freely given them.

No Shame [One Minute Feature]

To be ashamed of yourself for being in the wrong is natural but in today’s culture it doesn’t exist.

As a culture, we have seen the emotion of shame disappear. Do you believe that kids are less shameless today? Do you believe being ashamed is wrong?

Shame on You

There has been a lot written about the effects of shame. Too many Christian writers have bought into the faulty secular psychological theory that shame is always a bad thing. Consequently, too many parents have too. But shame is a God-given emotion that actually plays as a positive role in our lives in its proper context.

Shame is like fire and water, that it can be destructive in one context, while productive in another, but that’s not what we have been taught. It’s the mistake we make when biblical concepts, definitions, and standards get forsaken and twisted surrendered to secular theory. You think the Antifa rioters are ashamed of their actions, not in your life, but they should be.

Go West [One Minute Feature]

It’s time that we have a spiritual revolution, but the presidential candidate speaking up about it, is shocking.

Our culture could use a revolution, that is a spiritual revolution. Do you believe that a revolution is needed? Do you believe that Kanye West could be a conversation of persuasion?

Based On Color

There is a revolution going on in America and I’d be the first to say we need one. But our kids need to know that our revolution happening today is 180 degrees removed from the revolution America needs. We need a spiritual revolution more than a political one.

As crazy as it sounds the only presidential candidate to boldly address America’s spiritual need is Kanye West. If God used a murderer to write much of the new testament and a jackass to rebuke a true prophet of God in the old, he can use Kanye to rebuke America. He has a long way to go for me to vote for him, but a conversation with your kids about Kanye’s new moral perspectives, and Jesus is surely worth it.

Merit [One Minute Feature]

When applying for a job, college, or applying for state or federal help, race should not be a question of whether you receive it, get hired, or get free tuition.

In our culture today, there are too many emotional quotas that have to be met in the workplace. Do you feel that your children should have to be looked over because of the color of one's skin? Should a position be filled based on qualifications or skin color?

Based On Color

Watch the news and use it to teach your kids lessons in what not to do as saying people of moral integrity. Seeing business leaders, media personalities, and politicians compromising their positions by hiring people based on skin color rather than qualifications, it’s insulting to people of all colors.

Then there is the graveling, the appeasing, and virtue signaling and shameful and disgusting ways that are juvenile and quite frankly embarrassing. Our kids should know that merit and not skin color should be the preeminent reason for anyone to earn any position or job and that doesn’t make me or your kids racist for saying so. If a person of another race was the best heart surgeon I could find, that’s the one I am hiring.

We Are Contagious with Dr. Leslie Parrott [One Minute Feature]

If emotions are contagious, let’s start spreading love and happiness instead of fear and anxiety.

In our society today, our emotions have been like a roller coaster between COVID, riots, and politics. Do you feel your emotions have been contagious within your family? Do you think this could be the cause of what is going on in our culture today?

Emotional Mask

“Just like a virus is contagious our emotions are contagious. God has literally created us with something called a mirror neuron. These mirror neurons just net into our neurology, into our brain, and how it functions, so that when we are in the presence of someone who is experiencing fear and anxiety, it triggers fear and anxiety in us. I wish sometimes we could wear an emotional mask, but the antidote is hope and that is a gift from God. If we are giving hope, we are literally transforming our families and communities. It’s real and it’s powerful."

The Untitled Work [One Minute Feature]

The attack on our nation from within began decades ago behind the curtain and now we are seeing it unfold as our nation crumbles.

Each decade gets worse with a socialist mindset in which our children are influenced daily. Do you believe that our kids are being informed of such insanity without us knowing it? Are we allowing our children to be persuaded by and influenced by left-wing maniacs?

Behind The Curtain

If the overwhelming insanity you have been seeing in America in recent years, particularly in the past several months, has caused you to question how any true American patriots holding a judicial, legislative, or executive government position. And the they could possibly come to some of the moral, social, and legal conclusions they have come to without being complicit in a plot to destroy America from within.

Then you need to google a Youtube video of a Russian KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov and watch it with your kids. Now over 30 years old, these clips will make perfect sense of our current nonsense and show why our kids are more likely to accept and may even inherit a socialist America, run by left-wing maniacs. Google Yuri Besmenov.

Hot [One Minute Feature]

Equipping our children with the armor of God is the only way to prepare them for what their future holds.

Do you believe that today’s culture reflects the 1960’s America our parents grew up in? How are you teaching and preparing your kids for what is to come in our society?

Mimic of 1960's America

The irrational anarchy is seen in today's rioter's mears that we saw in the 1960’s America. The common thread in both revolutions has been sex, drugs, and rock & roll. The difference today is the sex is even more pelephic and twisted, the pot is stronger and the rock & roll has bowed to another level of decadence heard in rap and hip-hop. Today’s rebellion has the internet to help fuel this higher level of decadence.

This is why Christian parents must amp up their strategies by intentionally training up Godly warriors to confront the world. Equipping our kids with the full armor of God because fundamentally this is a spiritual battle. We need to prepare ourselves and our kids for just that, starting on our knees.
