Yeah, let me go slow in this turn on this one, because I don't want to be misunderstood, and there's a lot of confusion out there on this topic. And so I wrote a book, Your Story Has a Villain, and that's kind of the reason behind studying spiritual warfare for three years.

And I really think there are some strongholds in our days, demonic activity, where there's so much confusion around what it means to be a man. I think men feel beat up. I think we haven't had great examples. A lot of us haven't had great examples of fathers. Some of us had absent dads. Some of us had bad dads. And so we're looking for those role models to follow. We've coped with pornography.

Pornography, it's not just a bad idea because it rewires your brain. It's not just a bad idea because it causes you to objectify women. It's not just a bad idea because addiction to pornography is not an addiction to sex. It's an addiction to variety. So to the porn addict, monogamy is very, very difficult. In fact, it's a systematic training, a university for adultery.

It's very difficult for the porn addict to go into marriage and only love one person. By the way, I'm speaking from experience as a porn addict for over a decade. And then I got married and I was like, oh, no, what did I do? And I had to go through recovery. I had to get well. And so I think for all of these reasons, it's just kind of stripped us of drive.

It's stripped us of ambition, any kind of kingdom, godly, holy ambition. And so we're really just left with, hey, how do we just...

get through life like how do we drift through life and i think that's that the enemy is has done that then i also think there's a movement right now that um that it's it's just riddled with confusion it's like hey um it's kind of a modern feminism that says hey anything you you can do i can do

And it speaks out of both sides of its mouth because it's like, like I said, if somebody kicks in the door at 2 a.m. and I'm like, hey, Monica, go see who that is. Well, then I'm the bad guy. But if I say that I need to be the guy that always goes to see who it is, then I'm also the bad guy. So there's just so much confusion there around roles and what does that look like?
