 Oh hi guys, I don't mind me, I'm just writing an article for Slate about how Christians have a creepy obsession with cuties. You know, over the last couple days they've been tweeting about it, this hashtag cancel Netflix over just this film. It doesn't make any sense to me, honestly it's kind of creepy so I'm writing an article for Slate right now and you know, in my research I found out that the actual person who made this film is deeply feminist and it is deeply feminist ideas within the movie so honestly I just think, man Christians are just creepy and obsessed with kind of like this whole, you know, their client child pornography, I'm like oh my goodness are you kidding me? Yes little girls are twerking in this video and yes people are doing close ups on, you know, their private areas in these films but it's like are you kidding me right now? They're a little bit creepy and obsessed with it and I just think, I don't know, okay, are you kidding me right now? This is not a joke, this is not like blown away, like are you joking right now? Slate just put out an article, Christians creepy obsession with cuties explained, are you kidding me? The fact that people like myself are pointing out that this movie is insanely sexual exploitative of these young girls that you are filming and you're trying to pass it off as a feminist, a deeply feminist film, are you joking? Are you joking right now? Because look, like they try to pass it off as, oh you know, one of the main girls that is, you know, part of the film she was in kind of a sexually repressed community in the Islamic community and she wanted to break free from that and that was like and then she went to kind of the hyper-sexualized Western culture and this film is supposed to be a commentary on that and it's supposed to point out, oh man, you know, you know, people are, this is not good for women because you know, women should have control, you know, and get to do what they want to do and it's supposed to be this feminist film. Well look, in your dang film you're exploiting little girls. I'm sorry if I'm getting angry about that, I'm sorry if you think that's creepy that we're upset that little girls are getting exploited, that this is something that people are watching, that this is something that somebody has put out as some sort of social statement, like, oh watch this because you know, this is crazy isn't it? Look, we don't need to watch this stuff. We have lost our sense of shame and like, look, there is, there is, when we become a Christian, when you become a Christian, and if you're not a Christian, you might not understand this, but when you become a Christian, all that shame and guilt that has been laying on you is on Christ because he has taken that punishment for us. We don't have to bear that weight anymore, but when you look in the garden of, you know, of Eden with Adam and Eve, when they noticed that they, when they had sinned against God, they noticed that they were naked and there was shame as a part of that. Shame comes from sin, right? We see that clearly. When you become desensitized to sin, you lose and begin that, that shame desensitized and that shame is a signal that we need to turn to God. That guilt is a signal we need to turn to God, not block it out even more and say, no, we get to do what we want. This is a feminist film because look, any kind of idea that sexual liberation is like a good thing for women is completely wrong. And the reason it's wrong is because it is completely against what God has laid out for us. It's not just this idea of breaking free from all cultural and social constructs of sexuality and doing what you want. No, it's about doing what God has ordained and designed us for, but I don't want to just stop at cuties, okay? I don't want to stop there. I want us to evaluate our social media in general. Look at TikTok, okay? I'm on TikTok. That's my biggest platform there. But if you are on the For You page where you can just see whatever people are posting, you are continually confronted by little girls, honestly, doing very provocative dancing. And it is disgusting. You're continually confronted by that and you're trying to get rid of it and you're like, but TikTok keeps feeding it and the algorithm keeps trying to get, like it is wild and some of the biggest people on this platform that are kind of portraying themselves as wholesome and, you know, viewer-friendly and family-friendly, these people are like, what? We've lost all sense of shame and of, hey, maybe you shouldn't do those sexually provocative dances because look, this is, man, have we lost all standard, like God's standard of what is good and what is wrong because it blows my mind some of the parents of these kids that are big on TikTok, okay, and doing these insanely provocative dances and you're just like, get on your screen, like, oh, get that off my screen, like, it'd be something where if you were watching that, right, and somebody was looking over your shoulder, you're like, what are you watching, especially of a child? But yet these parents of cuties and of whatever was going on with that and people on TikTok as well, it's like, where are these kids' parents where they're stepping in and saying, hey, you know what, that's not for you, this is not right for you, right, like, this is wrong, like, you don't necessarily know what you're doing here and I'm going to be the parent, the mature parent that's going to tell you what's up, what's going on, what's right, what's wrong, but we've lost that and I think parents, this is kind of a, it's a tell-tale sign that parents in our culture, without God, they've lost that standard for themselves, so when they see their daughter doing these, just honestly, like a lot of the times, like, if you saw the WAP dance, like, my goodness, this is insane, what is going on, but the reason that the gap is so wide between people that are saying, this is insane, like me, and people that says, oh, that's fine, you're just, you know, you're the one sexualizing them, the reason that gap is so wide is because we're standing on different foundations, right, they're standing on their, their kind of subjective, progressive, you know, whatever the culture kind of sees is right and wrong, this is what's right and wrong, and we're standing on the Bible over here and this gap is wide because we're standing on different foundations, okay, but let's get our head on straight for a second, okay, we're angry, we're frustrated, why, you know, how could Christians be called creepy by, you know, denouncing, really disgusting, just really like child pornography, you know, and like, how could that even happen, we're frustrated and we're angry, we got to go back to core foundation principles, right, what are you doing within your family, how are you raising up your own family within education, within your own church, your siblings, your spouse, like all these things are foundational, begin with you, right, because culture, like all these, these massive things, you're not going to be able to change all this, right, you're not going to be able to shift the zeitgeist of the age, but you can begin with you, you can begin with your family, sticking to the Word of God, reading the Word of God, teaching the Word of God, meditating on the Word of God day and night, and look, that is where we need to begin, we need to get back to the Word of God, because, I mean, there's a lot of people that want to see their hot takes and want to say, you know, the culture is shifting or people like Ben Shapiro who points out the flaws and, you know, liberals' arguments and all that, and that's fine and that's nice, but look, Ben Shapiro doesn't believe the gospel, we have an actual purpose for why this is wrong, the grace that God has to save us from this kind of sin, this is where we're going, we're raising up our children, we're moving our families towards more and more to be like Christ, and we're preaching the gospel, and we're speaking into these cultural issues with prophetic truth, gospel-centered preaching, teaching, conversations, that's where we're at. Let me just talk to you, if you think cuties and, you know, immorality is wrong and exploitation of children is wrong, and you're ready to speak on that, you're not being creepy, don't worry about it, you're sticking to the truth, keep speaking the truth, don't let people on slate tell you that you're creepy for, wild, wild, wild.

I'll tell you, my life mission is to encourage, inspire, and challenge people to follow Jesus daily as a disciple. I want to authentically engage with our doubts, struggles and questions as we seek to encounter Jesus in our daily lives. I'm a 21 year old guy, and I don't know everything, not even close. But my hope is that as we dig into scripture, and we talk about issues of life and culture, that you'd move that much closer in relationship to Jesus.
