 Elliott question for you Controversial nonetheless question. What is a man? Well, I went on earlier talking about the fact that boys and men are both males And so we'd like to get very existential with our ideas about this But I think the real distinction is between boy and man We know what a male is and we have all our biological and psychological things about it, but The reason why that's such an important question is because unlike girls and women well Nature and God just makes them into that. You're a woman They just are And girl turns into a woman, but a boy can stay a boy his entire life Maybe 40 50 60 years old If he's never made into a man men are made and I think that's some one of the things that the perversion of our culture has Forgotten or they know but they're making us into something else making us into girls But Without strong fathers that even know who they are without no without a male imprint and image bearer We have none because we have no God men are Patterns unto God their father. It does a hierarchy for men. We don't work in circles like women men aspire up So to ask what is a man and then come from this egalitarian mindset Well, that's for you and you're that kind of man and this kind of man is all everybody opinion It's whatever you want it to be almost like with women Rather than having a cohesive understanding or at least aiming towards the high standard of the father above Okay, so you're raising daughters and they and you obviously want them to marry good men Mm-hmm. What do you tell them is a man? I mean do you say break it down just like that? How do you go about you know imparting a very elementary? Okay. It's very elementary because all that Order high order manifests itself in patriarchy You know, it is what it is a man who's carrying that image will act like a husband and father Not a boy chasing puss or addicted to video games or drinking on the weekend, whatever He's gonna have a sense of well the father but it but it is It's very practical because he knows his boundaries to mm-hmm a man of morals moral value. That's very evident very clearly right, so What I'm doing specifically with my daughters. It's interesting you ask I grew up around boys I'm a mentor to boys. I got one sister and she acts like a boy trying to figure this stuff out Number one, I know that it's about my presence in the home for Their example of what is a man Uh But then I have teachings Bible teachings and Teachings around the Christian faith as it represents order Christ and God the father And so if we go back to traditional religion in that way meaning God's order in the home Then it would only make sense that I'm raising my daughters to be wives But she has to recognize order and a man that she can trust Rice hit raise her up now drag her down Is it gonna be difficult for you as a strong man as a powerful patriarch to hand your daughters off and not try to Micromanage, you know the way they start the relationship. Yeah, I Think the micromanaging has already begun And so the micromanaging I'm trying to catch up on should be instilled very young Speak these things to your daughter. So you're not having to wrestle with them when the cat's out the bag Right, they're still kind of young and receptive my oldest She hears me and she sees me But it's tough So The whole idea is that you train in such a way that you don't have to micromanage. I don't have to micromanage You know, what's right and what's wrong, right? isn't interesting how that works because You have imparted into your daughters a level of discernment a will So that when they're doing things they know that they're carrying out the will of their father When they see things that are wrong, for instance, they say hold on a second. I know that's wrong Well, how do you know that's wrong because I was raised to recognize wrong when I see wrong And I won't submit to that It's pretty funny how that mirrors other relationships like the heavenly relationship we have Isn't that pretty amazing? Yes, because when he imprints on your heart and all of a sudden his will is alive and you and you're carrying out Basically the will of heaven is pretty crazy. No, everything's a mirror image, man. Yes, sir
