What's crazy is being openly religious as a Christian is seen as "cringe" these days which is wild to me. It's why I'm glad that I made so many Muslim friends because that community is open about their faith and that's something I respect massively, even if Christianity and Islam are incompatible belief-wise. I've found times where if I tell someone about a religious topic or say, "I think this is a sign from God" or some such, I almost feel... embarrassed? Stupid? Naïve? Let me be clear, I'm not embarrassed to be a Catholic Christian nor am I in doubt of my beliefs in God, but religion is so downplayed today that I feel like I am being out of place anytime I mention stuff like that.

Consider that they could ideally be your friends for the rest of your life, and you should be able to help each other out in future. So if possible choose friends with same values and similar goals. For your future IMO main focus should be school, future career or line of work, getting small work asap and making some money. Once you can pay for stuff, be independent, and provide for others, people will respect you.

My personal advice for someone in your situation is to start out by just going for the small wins. Give yourself small goals (ex: 30 pushups everyday) and once you can easily accomplish them, just make them greater and keep achieving. Within just a few months, I promise you'll feel completely changed and like you can do anything (because you really can lol).

You are the judge as to who you can approach. If you think one of your parents or sibling can have a good open heart moment where you tell eachother that you love and won't abandon the other, and give the time to cry together. You probably can't imagine how it makes an immense difference. I wish you well. And please, reach out to someone, even a random teacher you pratically don't know is better than nothing.

Weed (at least edibles) shouldn't be considered anti-Christian because God specifically says in the Old Testament that he gave us every green plant for food (yes, I know some of them are poisonous or medicinal so they aren't actual food but the point is that they're morally okay to consume). I know Paul talks about not being intoxicated but I don't think God requires you to stay sober all the time because in the law of Moses, it says that common people can consume strong drink.

One clarification I think is necessary on issues of masculinity vs femininity is that men are not exactly encouraged from a young age to be unmasculine and feminine, but to be unmasculine and practice or embody the negative expressions of femininity (ie excessive indecision, passive aggression, vulnerable/insecure narcissism, etc.). In the same way, women are encouraged from a young age to be unfeminine and practice negative expressions of masculinity, (ie "girlboss" culture promoting aggression, ruthlessness, uncontrolled ambition and greed, irresponsibility). Because femininity and masculinity each are not negative or bad, and the positive traits are also not bad when found in either sex, but simply more likely to occur in the personalities of the sexes they are associated with, respectively. A sociable man with overflowing compassion is not a failure of a man, nor is an adventurous woman who actively and unabashedly confronts wrongdoing a failure of a woman, but both are rare, and both are rare likely for a reason. But I do think that practicing the flaws typical of the opposite sex has an even greater detriment to oneself and possibly society as a whole than the flaws typical of your own sex, and for it to happen en masse is scary at best, at worst the cause of collapse. And another thing is that it is bad for men who would otherwise be masculine to be forced into femininity, even the positive traits, and vice-versa, since it will cause great harm to such men and women.

On the point about conservativism needing to be FOR something, I used to wonder why the Lord of the Rings still stands above all other fantasy, even C.S. Lewis' Narnia, as the pinnacle. I believe it's because Tolkien paints an idyllic standard of behavior in all the characters. Frodo's mercy towards Gollum, and his self-sacrifice for the good of all. Samwise's devotion and loyalty to his friend, to the point of going to hell and back with him. Aragorn's acceptance of responsibility, and embracing his inheritance, rather than running from it. Gandalf's wisdom and guidance, as well as his sometimes harsh but never cruel means of correction. Even the side characters exhibit idyllic masculine qualities. The books go the extra mile in showing how these men interact as friends, even to complete strangers (just look at Aragorn and Eomer's meeting in Two Towers). Tolkien's fantasy set the standard of a lot more than the fantasy genre; it challenges the reader to live up to a standard of a well-rounded life. Much like ancient myth.

Im a huge Tolkien fan too and I love his characters so much. People can learn a lot about goodness and Truth from the like of Tolkien and Lewis, and the hope that remains even in the darkest of circumstances mirrors our hope in Christ, even in the valley of the shadow if death. Tolkien wrote amazing female characters too, they absolutely demand respect and attention when they appear, yet they are also graceful, strong, caring, and courageous, and essential to the tale. Galadriel and Eowyn resonated so much with me as a young girl that I think they shaped a bit of who I am. Listening to Lord of the Rings again as an adult helped me see what Tolkien knew implicitly, femininity is not inheritly weak, and masculinity is not inheritly dominating.

Hey! Thanks for another great video. I was raised Methodist, but as my stepmother’s health started to decline, my family went to church less and less until we gradually became your standard C and E Christians. Your videos have been a huge part of my decision to start going back to church. I went the last two weeks and every week I look forward even more to going to church and worshipping with a community that cares about the problems we face today and offers tools to face them. I genuinely believe that God used you to call me back to Him, and I am grateful. So thanks again for what you do and for giving hope to countless young people!

I'm a Christian woman and I believe in everything you just said ❤️

This man is speaking facts. As another young man I feel the burden of the issues of this generation so alongside reading the Bible I do find it very important and useful to read apologetics and practical books. I’m impressed with how well you explain things! You must know how to research pretty good Praise the Lord!

This is got to be one of the most important video that I had ever watched. Im glad God has called you to make videos like this to address the problems society face and how to get men to be leaders without feeling like they "have to". Thanks for the video!

Great analysis! You hit on the nail, this is so important to understand and take part of, fighting for it and not just complaining and being passive about it, accepting it as if it was an unchangeable reality. We must be bold and brave

I think there are good things to learn from the story of David and Jonathan in the bible. Their friendship was extremely strong. And David mourned him greatly when Jonathan passed.

There's some words of wisdom in this. I've been trying to tone down my own cannabis use myself (I think it's good to treat it responsibly like booze) and while I wouldn't say it outright kills my motivation, it certainly dulls stress and general societal anger that i sometimes feel. Cuz let's be real, working two jobs and weekend side jobs at 20 to barely afford rent with a roommate is some bogus. It's not like I'm expecting a summer of work to pay for tuition or anything crazy like what happened after the second world war, but living is just becoming untenable. I wouldn't call myself nihilistic, because I put my faith where my mouth is most of the time. And about what you said about media addiction, i entirely agree, but I think it's gone past video games, and gone past men. I was listening to a really catchy song the other day that has a chorus that goes "who are we to wonder where we're going, who am I to tell me who I am," but when I listened to all of the verses, it's just some guy narrating his life through the filter of what shows he's streaming, and how life events coincide with seasons of his favorite shows. The whole song didn't really try to, but I could only see, the effects of chronic detachment. Being so unconnected and not in the world around you that you can't think in any other way THAN in that framing. A general consumerist attitude, something that I see when we talk about our favorite brands, our favorite shows, our favorite things we like to consume instead of our favorite traits in people.

>Pagan culture Pagans brutalized and safeguarded against adulterers so greatly that the Christian Romans thought they were cruel to sexual sinners, and most of our traditional ideas on marriage and sex were found in Native European beliefs; hell, the middle ages' marriage laws literally were just hand-me-downs from them.

Boomer predecessors by cosmopolitans.

I thank you for touching on this topic, because the state of young men is DIRE. And most of your points are really good. However, I do have some critical points and I'm only saying this because I value the content that you share and the heart you have to talk about these things. You mentioned a couple of times, and it seems like this was one of your main points: GO TO THE local church to change and fix the problem. I'm always an advocate for more young men to go and stick to one local church, and I'm also always an advocate for society to strengthen young men, starting with the local church. However, do you really think it's wise to encourage young men, who are generally very hot headed and prideful, who aren't already going to church for whatever reason, to go to the local church to "change" something? Sounds like the blind leading the blind. What young men need to learn is how to REPENT. Young men who aren't already going to church have a long way to go before they are at a place where they're capable of changing anything. I'm saying this because I've been discipling young men in the church for three years, and I can say I've had a lot of weaknesses along the way, and I ought to have had more fear of God throughout the way. So, I suggest a couple of things to think about for your future videos: 1. Talk about repentance more. People don't make mistakes, they actively reject God. If people don't actually recongize that the MVPs are major SINS that they're committing and going to church is the best way of getting accountability to fight those sins, they're not going to last in the church for long. 2. Talk about Christ more. I find it strange that you talked about the ONLY hope for young men and didn't mention the name of Jesus once. Basically, share the Gospel. Again, I love your videos and I think they have a lot of value towards the community. You're doing something incredible that many, including myself, am not capable of. So, I, too, must be humble. The fact that your videos are gaining so much steam shows that God has favour on you! Several of my friends at college watch you (I would too, if I didn't block KZread on most of my devices). However, that does mean that we need to be even more careful of what we say. I hope that this helps you! Romans 10:15 - And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

Amazing video, man! Over the past two-or-so years me and a friend of mine have both become Catholic and though our families don’t attend church, we both want to once we get our driver’s licenses. You are very well spoken and communicate many important messages for young people today, keep up the great work! :)

Conservatism can only work if there is something you are consciously aiming to conserve. Then you must constantly be striving to do that conservation, with strategies and tactics designed to counter what the world in your own time is doing against it.

I don't usually do this, but I wanted to say something as a fellow Christian. Self-Love IS NOT anti-Christian. The Love of Self, putting yourself above all else, is anti-Christian. Self-Love is "an appreciation of one's own worth or virtue, proper regard for and attention to one's own happiness or well-being" (Definition from Merriam Webster). You have to show yourself love in how you take care of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, financially, and for your future. You have to take care yourself especially when helping others. In the Book of Mark, Jesus says the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as you love yourself. We are required to LOVE Ourselves, to show ourselves as much love as we would show our neighbors. Yes, self-love can become selfish and humans can easily get self-centered, but a healthy ordered self love is needed for a healthy life. We are vessels of the Holy Spirit. Like any vessel, be it car or ship, it needs maintainence care and repairs. Unlike like these inanimate vessels who don't get a choice when they are repaired, we are Living Vessels who DO get a choice in when our own maintenance happens. It is something that should happen frequently whether that be in prayer, fellowship, or in making healthy decisions.

After my Dad passed I stopped going. Recently been looking more into Christ and have been finding my way. If you want to add the church to your list of Historic Churches it's called First Presbyterian Church Oceanside, they were founded in 1871 here in Oceanside, New York. They are more left leaning, for me that doesn't really matter they seem to stick to scripture though. I personally am more politically in the middle of both parties more so leaning right wing but I don't mind this church.

5:42 I think a lot of the masculine traits (out on the playground) that are discouraged in elementary schools is because of the risk that children get hurt which is of course blamed on the teachers and the school.

I think it’s good to be cautious, but it has undoubtedly gone so far that it does affect boys in a negative way.

I think there is a decline in friendship in part because of the sexualization of love. One of the vocabulary shifts from the gay rights movement is the equation of love and sex.

I think our society having a one track mind in making everything about sex is a big problem. Just like guys who have legitimate complaints of not being able to start a familly or have a meaningful connection with a woman always get dismissed as "guys who are entitled to sex" or "incels" or "guys who are just mad that they can't get laid"(while ironically accusing these guys of sexually objectifing women.) Same with homosexuality in how every debate with some "homophobe" always ends with confidently concluding him as a closet homosexaul himself, and has nothing to do with him finding homosexuality genuinely strange or repulsive. I think it has to do with our society's knee jerk over correction to puritanism and taking Seigmond Frued WAY too seriously.

I just got back from a retreat in helping the disable. I met a few other ministries that go involved along with my church. I see God, and I have started, going to these churches and making connections with them so that we may pray for one another.

MVP is so true of many young men, including me before I got saved. One of the things about marijuana is that it hurts your motivation even when you aren't high. All three problems are meant to sap men of their motivation and satisfy their God given desires to protect, provide, and procreate.

Teddy Roosevelt was a proponent of the movement and there are some super cool "manly hymn" books that came out of that era.

I made a separate comment, but an independent thought: do you think the idea of Friendship being girly, or friendship being a cliche in media aimed at little girls could subtly reinforce the phenomenon of boys failing to craft lifelong companionships and comeraderies with other men later in life?

There's a stigma here but it is bullshit. You know who your true friends are and you should look out for them.

Well women are more empathetic and social that's just a fact this can also be observed in many mammalian species like elephants for example. That's why autism is viewed as the "extreme male brain": because it's the opposite of all that

@@AlekseyMaksimovichPeshkov - I think a better word other than social would be cooperative. Boys are just as social as girls, but are more likely to openly conflict, where girls are more likely to passively conflict or actively cooperate. As well, I think a better word than empathetic is emotionally intelligent. That is, they speak the language of feelings better than most guys do, which makes it easier for girls to frame and articulate their emotions. Also, I know the vast majority of autistic people are boys, but I've never heard it called the extreme male brain, I think that's just patently absurd. It's not like we don't feel empathy, dude, it's just that autistic people are more blunt and to the point. And it's not like I haven't outright learned different social cues, you think we're just stupid, or incapable of having friends or something?

@@wes4736 autistic women tend to have masculine desires and traits and studies find that autistic women have "hyper-masulinized" faces confirming the extreme male brain. Plus almost nothing about autism is remotely female or feminine its all male patterns and behaviors

This is defenitely true since girls are waaaay more social and friendlier than boys. This why I have way more friends that are girls that boys.

Thank you brother for speaking up about these issues and for being a voice to all of us young men. We really need that today. God bless you❤

Glad this got recommended to me. I think it's exactly what I needed to hear.

Great video, very convicting, thank you. I am an Eagle Scout as well and they really do make better men, friends, husbands, etc. It can be a lot of fun and lead to a lot of fellowship. I recommend all parents put their boys in Boy Scouts. Thank you for your time, Jesus loves you all

Calling Video Games escaping the reality is ALWAYS so relatable for me

Great video man! God bless you.

You da man for this one.. i have been avoiding going for a while now, even knowing it’s the answer. You said it best

I agree with you on the things you mentioned. I would add fatherlessness as a biggest factor in the state of young men today. Fatherlessness is caused by the Sexual Revolution and feminism which dismisses the role of a committed marital relationship. Boys need a father for an example. Also, Reformed Baptist and conservative Protestant churches (PCA or OPC) are more masculine than other churches I've attended. When I say "Reformed Baptist", I include Particular Baptists like John MacArthur type churches (dispensational Particular Baptists). Denominations that allow women leadership tend to be more effeminate. Just being honest.

You'll find plenty of masculinity in Orthodox churches especially though I'm sure it's in Catholic churches too, particularly the traditional and Eastern Catholic churches.

2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I agree with all of this and while I am not religious per se but an agnostic, I have managed to find my purpose in other ways such as by becoming a career-path and physique-path (if the latter is a word lol), aspiring to be the ideal man who is fit and strong enough to protect, provide and maintain his family. Great video though! Inspiration is so important these days.

Awesome video!! You're so articulate and kind.

I just wanted to say that I'm a new subscriber who's been binging through your content and I just wanted to thank you for making you for creating your channel and spreading the message! Please, never stop making videos.

Thank you so much for this video, it changed the way I think about society, I’m gonna go clean my room now, and hopefully be able to get my life back on track.
