Aslan, in the Chronicles of Narnia, was said to be good, but he wasn't safe.

Men were created by God and built for battle.

Men want to be beasts who live a principled life that is consistent with the fruit of the spirit,

completely in tune with the voice of their father to promote the good,

protect their wives and children, and further the kingdom of heaven.

Welcome to my backyard in Tennessee for the American Campfire Revival.

What if this current cultural setback is really a

divine setup for a spiritual comeback led by the family of faith? I believe with all of my heart

that it is. And I've outlined principles of how we can be ready and be a part of America's

spiritual comeback in my new book

called Born to Be Brave. Tonight, we're going to be talking about making monsters and becoming

a beast. We're working through chapter four of my book, and previously we talked about how tough men

may seem dangerous, but weak men are the worst, and that men have

a built-in capacity and desire to extinguish that which is wicked and evil and to conquer

the bad and replace it with the good, to rule, to subdue,

and to take dominion. And if we don't give men a good mission to do that, they'll manifest in

bad versions of that inbuilt quality. I'm going to continue with a quote from Canadian

psychologist Jordan Peterson. And if you know

Jordan Peterson, just imagine hearing this from a voice of a man who's so passionate about what he's

saying that he is almost on the verge of tears. Men need to restore their inner monster. Everyone says you shouldn't do anyone any harm. You should

sheath your competitive instinct. You shouldn't try to win. You don't want to be too aggressive.

You don't want to be too assertive. You want to take a back seat and all that. Wrong, he says.
