Episode description

Are we furthering ourselves from reality by embracing a trend of fluid identities without objective truths? Is our relentless pursuit of materialistic happiness leaving us unsatisfied and lost? Join us on this thought-provoking journey as we dissect the concept of toxic inclusion and how it's leading us away from embracing our authentic selves in favor of satisfying societal expectations. 

We delve into the dangerous implications when subjective truths overshadow objective realities, and how this can lead to devastating consequences. I reveal some of my own experiences, such as selling my beloved truck to free myself from credit card debt and start a family, illustrating that the pursuit of materialistic possessions only drags us away from our true goals. Together, we explore the realities of grounding our identities in truth and shedding temporary, materialistic desires to fulfill the real missions in our hearts. Tune in, and let's challenge the norms together.

Speaker 1

And so what this does is it separates true reality and it gets further and further and further from the truth of everything being based on feelings . And this is dangerous because , well , for a simple example of what you would probably do , you don't wanna see my legs ? Hold on , ha ha , ha ha . Oh yeah , gotta hold on . Let me change . Ha ha ha .

Let me change this right now , in the name of Jesus . No , is that what my bad ? Y'all just saw ? Some hairy white man legs . I do apologize , I don't even know what I was saying . Let's go on .

Speaker 2

It makes me wonder if , at some point , we will not be asking what is a woman but what is a human ? I mean , we're already there with the abortion debate , but again I digress . This is what I'm going to call toxic inclusion . This is the end game for those who get what they want .

Speaker 1

Toxic inclusion . I like that . So what that means is that , since let's say whatever you think say you think you're a frog , okay Now , toxic inclusion means that I don't want to in any way offend you or make you feel uncomfortable about your identity . So what does that mean ? That means I bend over backwards , even though I can see what actual truth is .

I bend to your every whim because I don't want to offend you , and so in that way it becomes toxic and in a lot of ways . In just a minute we're going to watch some videos about some very harmful things , when they just wish somebody would have helped them and said something before they did all the things they did .

Speaker 2

With their inconsistent inclusivity and equity . What used to be a rare and isolated incident of someone having inner , emotional or mental issues has now become trendy . It's been embraced as living your truth .

When you don't know who you are and your identity is grounded in a subjective , fluid morality and not grounded in reality or objective truth , then , by default , you're going to find your identity in something that is grounded in a lie and a subjective truth that constantly changes . It reminds me of a cat , you know , trying to catch a laser pointer .

They're all excited when they think they've got it , only to find it flittered away to another location . That tricky little laser . The satisfaction of catching it is actually an illusion , though , but the cat doesn't know that they keep trying to catch it . This is what I see with people trying to find their identities .

If anything , people identifying as the opposite gender or animals or anything at this point only goes to show that people are striving to find meaning and purpose in this life . Guys , we are made to worship something . We are gonna worship the creator or the creation . Also .

Some brilliant person on my last video made this point and I wanna share it that we are made in God's image and likeness and the devil hates that . He hates God . He will do everything in his power to shift us as far away as possible from that . They said . To imagine a human being identifies a cat or a dog , when we were created above these creatures .

This is actually a spiritual search too , and what people are doing is filling themselves with spiritual fast food . It has no sustenance or longevity , so they live one fleeting happiness at a time , craving and living for their next serotonin fix . There are many examples of this as well .

Speaker 1

We do this also with chasing after relationships , chasing after items , tangible things we can put our hands on better homes , more expensive cars , jewelry . I mean .

You look at the people who have like Apple watches or Apple phones and they talk to an Android person and it's like you have an Android , like something that really doesn't matter at all and it's just based on preference and what you like , but we make it some sort of social thing that raises us above other people in our heads .

Like I sold my 2020 Chevy Colorado . I love that truck . It was my first truck ever .

I've always had a car , just cause cars are cheaper , and I set a goal out I wanted to really start having children with my wife , and so what I did is I set a goal to where I wanted to completely get rid of our credit card debt , so I found a way that I could completely wipe off the last part of our credit card debt by selling that truck , getting a

cheaper car and taking that cash $7,000 of cash that they gave me . I came home , we paid off the rest of our credit cards and now and that was at the end of last summer-ish maybe going into the fall , I think and we're having a baby now , because I had that goal . So it was a fact of what was more important .

Was my goals more important or a status Cause ? That was a nice truck . It was clean , had black fabric in it . It was like a rough fabric too . It was really like a man's truck . It wasn't anything like crazy or special , but to me , like when I bought it , when we went to Dallas and bought it , taking pictures with it , it was just .

It was a huge moment for me . But now I drive up and sometimes I'm ashamed . The car that I got now there's nothing wrong with it . It's a 2016 Nissan Pathfinder . It's got three rows of seats , which my son thought was so cool Now I could fit all of his friends that I wouldn't have been able to with a truck .

Every time I pick them up for youth , I wasn't asked from school man , they're having fun , they're having a blast and put their scratches on it . There's a little bit of deeing here and there and the fabric , the material that's in the seats and on the armrest it's worn and things like that . I mean nothing's ripped , nothing .

Also , after I went to Houston to get it , saw that the windshield was cracked . There's a couple of cigarette , burn holes in the seat and then on the little fabric up there that they didn't tell me about . But I went three and a half hours to get it and I was there to get it and they were gonna .

Anyways , I'm never buying out of town again , but , that being said , I didn't . My reality was I had a goal and I didn't want to be held back from that goal .

That was in my heart because of material things , and sometimes I think about it when I pull up , I do real estate , doing photography and video and drone and things , and when I pull up and there's this realtor with a Lexus or a Mercedes or a Range Rover pretty much all of them that I work with have nice , expensive cars and I pull up with my little Nissan

Pathfinder that's eight years old . Sometimes it hits me when I get out and I see scratches , or I am getting stuff out of the back of my car and there's scratches that weren't there before and now they are and I'm like , hmm , how did that get there ?

Now , if I was in my 2020 Colorado , I'd be really upset , I'd be furious , but I'm not too mad about it because I had a goal and to me , even though it is sometimes not the best feeling , that I don't have the nice vehicle that I did have .

I'm about to have a little baby girl and that was my goal and the sacrifice was worth it to get where I wanted to go and it took me giving up material things to get there .

So sometimes we have to give up and sacrifice for that burden or that mission in our heart , some material things that really , once we actually let go of them , it's not the big of a deal anymore .
