The truth mom at the bottom of the hour is I'm going to make an open appeal to a man assuming a prominent place of leadership in our culture from my generation.

And as they once told Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom, you're doing it wrong. But I think he wants to do it right.

And I want to give him some encouragement from someone out on the front lines of the battle he is now called to wage.

And we're going to talk about that here at the bottom of the hour. Next hour Phil Robertson needs no introduction. He will be joining us and theology Thursday coming your way a little bit later on too.

And I wasn't going to do this just because it's one of those things God tells me I need to do that I don't want to do.

So it's the year of no BS right so Aaron yesterday was like we need to discuss this and I'm like.

I really.

I'm pretty good around that right now I prayed about it and I feel real good about where I'm at right now actually feel real good about it.

And then I'm not making I haven't even said this to Aaron yet I got like three emails from around the country yesterday.

Same as that bringing this particular topic up and asking me about it.

Yeah.

We're addressing it.

All right.

And I'm like because I know what that means man. I know what it means every time.

What it means is I think he wants us to address it and I don't want to.

I'm.
