He also explains the difference between Andrew Tate and the manosphere versus true, Christian masculinity.

0:00.0	What does biblical masculinity actually look like? A lot of people want to give us a different definition

1:49.2	Should have said no, should have said no, but I got tricked into it.
1:52.5	So I've served in the Virginia General Assembly for 10 years.
1:55.4	And several years ago, we started getting more involved on social media.
1:59.6	Initially, talking a lot about politics, and we still do, but a lot more about faith, about family, about being a girl, dad, about raising a boy, all of those things.
