We’re in the midst of a series on masculinity, so I had to weigh in on this one, and I looped in Producer Tim to get a Millennial male’s take. 

You’ve probably seen the clip of Jen Psaki interviewing Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff. 

Psaki claimed Emhoff has, “reshaped the perception of masculinity.”

Really?

Psaki then called him a “wife guy.” 

Okay . . . 

And sure, maybe Doug Emhoff is a super sweet and supportive husband. That’s great!

But, there seemed to be a partisan subtext beneath this exchange. Watching the clip, I had the sense Psaki was insinuating only liberal men fully support their wives.

I wanted to share my reaction to this clip and, Tim agreed to join me.

Spoiler alert:  Over my 27 years of dating, I’ve had relationships with both very liberal and very conservative men. I married a conservative. And no one has ever cherished, respected, and adored me more than my conservative husband.

So personally, I’m not picking up what Psaki is laying down.

Join us and let us know your thoughts masculinity and wife guys.

Elliott and I didn’t grow up with a lot of political discourse. Our family delved into a wide array of topics, but as educators and musicians, we tended to discuss chord charts and pop tunes more than public policy. 

In fact, as most of you know, our father was a lifelong Democrat and our mother is a lifelong Republican. Yet, they possessed the same core values, had a strong 57 year marriage, and raised three well-adjusted kids. Could that happen nowadays?

During most of our lifetime, it was considered impolite to bring up religion and politics. And, pastors often refrained entirely from wading into political waters. 

But to me, these times feel different. I was curious if Elliott sensed the same. 

So, today we address questions around faith and politics.

We specifically ask:

When Elliott became a pastor, our Dad encouraged him to speak boldly. We’ll honor our father’s wishes and boldly discuss our hot takes on these hot topics.

Psychiatric nurse and friend of the program, David Wayne, is back to discuss what he recently shared on Children’s Health Defense’s CHD.TV.

In addition to nursing, Dave has a background in data analytics. Throughout the COVID era, he tried to make sense of the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated hospitalizations—the numbers weren’t adding up.

Databases weren’t talking to each other. Default modes labeled patients as unvaccinated when in MANY cases, these patients had taken the COVID shot.

For those of us who endured derision and scorn for our “selfish” and “irresponsible” choice to abstain from injecting ourselves with a rushed-to-market, mRNA product with no longitudinal studies confirming its safety and efficacy—well for us, these numbers matter.

It matters that, in fact, more COVID hospitalizations occurred among the vaccinated.

It matters that the shot neither prevented infection nor stopped transmission. 

And, it matters that a recent study from the Cleveland Clinic found the more jabs and boosters you took, the MORE likely you are to get COVID.

Dave and I discuss the appalling lack of science guiding our government’s COVID response and the tyrannical jab mandates the administration forced upon us—we’re still astounded. 

If you feel the same—and even if you don’t!—Please join us as our favorite hospital insider reveals what was really going on!

Growing up is tough. Growing up with a father wound is even tougher.

As we continue our series on masculinity, we’re addressing the complexities of father wounds on sons. 

How do boys grow into men when their model for manhood has been abusive or absent?

One of Elliott’s mentees, Bradley Oberrieder, joins us to share his journey—how his father abandoned his family just as Bradley was moving from adolescence to young adulthood.

How do you step into manhood when you no longer respect your dad—your model of manhood?

If you’ve experienced a father wound—or you’re dating a man who has—please join us for an honest and hopeful account of masculinity in the midst of a father wound.

Dan and I are heading to Rescue the Republic in DC this weekend!

I wanted to share Rescue the Republic’s 8 pillars with Elliott to hear his thoughts. 

For most of our lives, Americans took for granted the values that underpin these pillars. We agreed on these tenets. They were givens.

Not so much anymore.  

Rescue the Republic will bring together Americans from all walks of life and political persuasions. It’s a unity coalition led by Dr. Bret Weinstein (evolutionary biologist), RFK, Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and others who were formerly on the left but now feel politically homeless.

Elliott shares his thoughts on the movement. What does the Bible say about these pillars? 

I still believe Americans can find common ground. Praying for unity. Praying for peace. Praying for freedom.

If you want to rescue the republic, too, please join us in DC or at least, join us for this conversation!

Recently, I heard a term, “testosteroni.” It was used in a pejorative manner to describe “testosterone-laden” men. In the conversation, these testosterone-laden men were pitted against a kinder, gentler model of manhood.

I wasn’t sure just what they were getting at. But, I had questions.

I wanted to hear Elliott’s thoughts about Testosteronis vs. Beta Males.

We delve into all this and more as we continue our “What is a Man?” series. Please join us!

Q:  I’m 34 and dating a 44-year-old man who rents out a room to a cutie 21-year-old for a very fair price and sometimes, he goes out with her and her friends and buys their drinks. 

I’m not sure how I feel about that. He believes it’s socially acceptable but I disagree and see it as predatory. But I also want to be understanding and I’m unsure if I’m being insecure and unreasonable about the situation.

A:  Join us to hear our response to our listener’s question!

As a psychiatric nurse, David Wayne believed wholeheartedly in the veracity of medical research and the necessity of pharmaceutical interventions—until he saw how ineffective and at times, harmful, these “treatments” were. 

He began to question his profession—especially psychiatry’s pharmaceutical “solution” for every mental health concern.

Then COVID descended, and because he chose not to inject an experimental substance into his body, he got fired from his hospital.

To support others losing their jobs, he attended protests against the COVID shot mandates. He found himself alongside others who shared his values around health freedom. But, he was surprised to learn many of these dissidents were people of faith. 

He discovered they weren’t at all “anti science.” They just knew science must be questioned—always! And, science doesn’t belong solely to government officials or three letter agencies. Furthermore, these dissidents put their faith in God, as opposed to Fauci.

As a psychiatric nurse, David had questioned the tenets of his profession. Now, he began to question his understanding of God and faith.

COVID profoundly changed all of us in various ways. Four years into the COVID era, more and more psychologists and psychiatrists are questioning Pharma’s hold on our profession—not to mention its regulatory capture of governmental institutions such as the FDA and CDC.

If you’re waking up to the Pharma cartel, this episode’s for you!

The election is upon us and the political divide—well, it’s probably better described as a chasm. 

So, we weren’t surprised to receive this question from a listener:

“I’ve seen this rhetoric start to pop up on social media, leading into the election:  ‘Don’t tell someone you love them, and then vote for someone who will hurt them.’

How do we deal with this type of divisive statement?”

Our listener also indicated she’s single and in her 40s. She’s an only child, so her friends are absolutely family to her.

Yet, if she votes for a particular candidate, her friends believe she’s choosing to hurt them.

I had a lot of thoughts about this. Like our listener, I have many friends who take issue with my choices around such issues. Most of these friends won’t talk to me about why I hold these values. 

Many people would recommend we steer clear of these topics. Then again, if we don’t talk about what matters most to us, how can we have deep, authentic relationships? 

Elliott and I share how we would respond to a friend who asked us, “How can you say you love me, yet you’re voting for someone who hurts me?”

Elliott brings in the spiritual—“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

I postulate that the “powers that be” gin up “culture wars” to keep us attacking each other, rather than recognizing how the ruling class//oligarchs continue to oppress us.

If you’re struggling to navigate political divisiveness this election season, please join us!

Elliott didn’t know about this—I’m way more into current events than he is—so I decided to inform him during our episode. I wanted him to share his thoughts as a therapist, husband, father, and perhaps most importantly, as a pastor.

Abortion is a heavy, sensitive, and painful, subject—at least, it used to be. Clinton claimed it should be, “Safe, legal, and rare.”

Now women are encouraged to, “Shout Your Abortion!”

What’s going on?

I share some theories as to how we’ve arrived at this place—views around Second and Third Wave Feminism and how women have fought for a sexual revolution that fails to serve us, but works for men just fine.

We integrate our question, “What is a Man?” throughout the conversation. Elliott asserts that men may have failed women which also relates to the current landscape of women displaying their fielty to a political party by killing their unborn children.

Join us for another Love & Life Current Events episode and hear Elliott’s og story of getting kicked out of Social Studies during an 8th grade current events unit! 😉
