Summary

"True power is not dependent upon the invented honors of earth.  True power is that which guides, shapes, carves, and claims the souls of men.  And the souls of men are most often won and lost at the feet of mothers." - Kimberly Ells

 

Summary

Does it feel like its harder to be a parent today than ever before? There are powers arrayed against the family - powers in secular philosophies, modern politics, and even our education system.  The roots of these forces are deep and have been growing for years, but we are just now seeing their ugly fruit.  We would like you to take some time to comprehend how these philosophies have affected your understanding of the roles of mothers, fathers, children, and the family as a social unit.  This podcast was inspired by and draws from The Invincible Family by Kimberly Ells. The world needs parents more than ever!  We hope this conversation inspires you to double down on being an intentional, and therefore, invincible family.  



Key Takeaways

 

  • What is the ultimate goal of socialism, feminism, and sexual radicalism?  To separate children from their parents by deceiving parents into giving up their rights to their children. 

  • Satan wants us to feel quaint, small, and insignificant.  But the reality is that if we are going to change this world, we need to believe that what we are doing is mighty and important, and IRREPLACEABLE. 

  • Children are the future. Every revolutionary wants to control the children.  Whoever controls the children controls the society.  So the parent/child bond needs to be broken for secular forces to control our children. 

  • First, it started with Dad.  Now they are working on unseating moms, taking her out of the home, denigrating having children, and being a mother.  

  • The best thing you can give your child is not education - the best you can give your child is YOU.

  • Women cannot do everything men can do.  And confident women are perfectly fine with this fact.

And so the podcast that we're going to share with you is a re-release of something that we did a couple years ago. You know, the longer we do this, the farther away our podcasts get from us. I know. I think this was like five or six years ago that we did this. And it is from a book called The Invincible Family by Kimberly Ells, which I highly recommend. And basically, it reiterates two parents and draws out that

what we are doing is families is so much more important than simply raising our children. We are

saving society. And also for all of us to realize that there are forces, you know why it's harder
