On this Episode:
THE RISE AND FALL OF MARS HILL CHURCH (0:00-15:30)
I've been listening to a FASCINATING podcast about the rise and fall of Mark Driscoll and the church he pastored in Seattle. One lesson I know we can take from Driscoll is the importance of being teachable. Are you someone who can take criticism and counsel? Do you make it terrifying for anyone to question you? There is safety and wisdom in having counselors around you.
I'll also offer here a Biblical model on how to GIVE criticism and how to receive criticism.
WHAT WOMEN WANT (15:30-33:38)
Here's the New York Post story: https://nypost.com/2021/07/10/why-progressive-women-want-to-date-men-who-act-conservative/
It's in the words of liberal, progressive, secular women: they prefer men who adopt traditional (conservative) roles -- despite the larger culture trying to bludgeon those values out of men for almost 4 decades now.
There are certainly biological and sociological reasons for this attraction, but there's a deeper reasoning: it's Biblical.
The maker and men and women designed them for one another. These ladies can deny a God,-designed world and humanity, but their preferences betray them.
CULTURE WAR, ROUND 2 (33:39-End)
The catalyst for this is this post from a far-left blogger: https://jabberwocking.com/if-you-hate-the-culture-wars-blame-liberals/
In the last 30 years or so, conservatives have gotten SLIGHTLY more conservative, while liberals have gone off-the-wall Left. This made them the aggressor, and the VICTOR, in the Culture Wars around family, parenthood, sexuality, marriage, etcetera.
Beyond this just being an interesting observation, it made me think about the next 30 years and beyond. Will anti-Biblical secular progressivism continue to dominate? Maybe so, at least in the West. But it doesn't have to, and I have some thoughts on that.
