Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Leading Families | Allen Jackson NOW | July 24, 2025
- Good evening.
- 00:00:18.534 --> 00:00:19.535
- I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:19.535 --> 00:00:21.971
- We're going to begin tonight with a question
- 00:00:21.971 --> 00:00:24.307
- Which started first, mother's day or father's day.
- 00:00:24.307 --> 00:00:27.844
- The answer may surprise you,
- 00:00:27.844 --> 00:00:29.545
- Because while women didn't have the right to vote until 1920,
- 00:00:29.545 --> 00:00:33.182
- Mother's day began 58 years before father's day,
- 00:00:33.182 --> 00:00:37.286
- And the official father's day was only put on the calendar
- 00:00:37.286 --> 00:00:39.989
- After retailers had started promoting the idea
- 00:00:39.989 --> 00:00:42.725
- Of a special day to sell men's clothing and tobacco.
- 00:00:42.725 --> 00:00:46.662
- For years, the average dad usually got a new tie,
- 00:00:46.662 --> 00:00:49.132
- Maybe some golf balls or a hallmark card.
- 00:00:49.132 --> 00:00:52.502
- But over time, fathers became downstream of hollywood
- 00:00:52.502 --> 00:00:56.172
- And the progressive influencers in our country,
- 00:00:56.172 --> 00:00:58.541
- The drive to turn men back into boys
- 00:00:58.541 --> 00:01:00.910
- And in some cases, into girls.
- 00:01:00.910 --> 00:01:03.179
- The idea of a show called father knows best
- 00:01:03.179 --> 00:01:06.549
- That wouldn't be produced now unless it was written
- 00:01:06.549 --> 00:01:08.951
- To show a gay couple with adopted children
- 00:01:08.951 --> 00:01:11.554
- Stumbling over a dirty laundry
- 00:01:11.554 --> 00:01:13.623
- And trying to figure out how to make a peanut
- 00:01:13.623 --> 00:01:15.091
- Butter and jelly sandwich.
- 00:01:15.091 --> 00:01:16.993
- Fathers have been the punching bags, but not everywhere.
- 00:01:16.993 --> 00:01:21.164
- Enter the organization called promise keepers
- 00:01:21.164 --> 00:01:23.799
- And our guest tonight, ceo shane winning's.
- 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.769
- It's great to see you again, shane.
- 00:01:26.769 --> 00:01:28.171
- Welcome to our show.
- 00:01:28.171 --> 00:01:29.872
- Hey, thanks for having me on. it's great to be here.
- 00:01:29.872 --> 00:01:32.542
- Well, i want to begin by asking, how is it that american
- 00:01:32.542 --> 00:01:35.411
- Men have been pushed aside for so many years?
- 00:01:35.411 --> 00:01:38.381
- How was that allowed to happen?
- 00:01:38.381 --> 00:01:40.883
- You know, it happens inch by inch.
- 00:01:40.883 --> 00:01:43.819
- And we noticed this, you know, the enemy,
- 00:01:43.819 --> 00:01:48.024
- And i'm talking about a spiritual enemy here,
- 00:01:48.024 --> 00:01:50.126
- But he'll just
- 00:01:50.126 --> 00:01:51.160
- He'll push back on certain things
- 00:01:51.160 --> 00:01:53.095
- That have always been done on tradition,
- 00:01:53.095 --> 00:01:55.031
- Where he'll begin to insert an ideology.
- 00:01:55.031 --> 00:01:57.833
- You know, i remember when i was a kid in the 90s,
- 00:01:57.833 --> 00:02:00.937
- A gatorade commercial where it was a girl singing.
- 00:02:00.937 --> 00:02:03.973
- Anything you can do, i can do better.
- 00:02:03.973 --> 00:02:06.008
- And it was.
- 00:02:06.008 --> 00:02:07.109
- And she was competing in sports alongside of a man.
- 00:02:07.109 --> 00:02:09.645
- And, you know, how far have we come since then
- 00:02:09.645 --> 00:02:12.748
- Where it's not just men or women can do what men can do,
- 00:02:12.748 --> 00:02:16.652
- But now women can be men and men can be women.
- 00:02:16.652 --> 00:02:19.755
- And that's a whole other conversation.
- 00:02:19.755 --> 00:02:21.791
- But it happened inch by inch.
- 00:02:21.791 --> 00:02:24.227
- And so what we've seen in our society
- 00:02:24.227 --> 00:02:26.562
- Is this kind of promotion of a feminized movement,
- 00:02:26.562 --> 00:02:31.033
- While at the same exact time, all of the traits that make,
- 00:02:31.033 --> 00:02:35.037
- You know, men, men have been labeled as toxic,
- 00:02:35.037 --> 00:02:38.507
- Harmful, damaging.
- 00:02:38.507 --> 00:02:40.543
- And so when you have both of those things happening,
- 00:02:40.543 --> 00:02:43.045
- You know, the desire for men to go out and be masculine,
- 00:02:43.045 --> 00:02:46.082
- Which includes being a strong husband, being a present father,
- 00:02:46.082 --> 00:02:50.553
- You begin to see that diminish.
- 00:02:50.553 --> 00:02:51.921
- And when that happens, our society will
- 00:02:51.921 --> 00:02:53.656
- Begin to erode from within.
- 00:02:53.656 --> 00:02:55.524
- Well, you know, promise keepers reminds me
- 00:02:56.392 --> 00:02:58.527
- Of a pretty fundamental
- 00:02:58.527 --> 00:03:00.162
- Biblical principle, and that's that every generation
- 00:03:00.162 --> 00:03:02.365
- Has to make a decision for themselves.
- 00:03:02.365 --> 00:03:04.767
- You know, when coach mack started
- 00:03:04.767 --> 00:03:06.035
- Promise keepers back was in 1990,
- 00:03:06.035 --> 00:03:08.604
- I don't think anybody imagined
- 00:03:08.604 --> 00:03:09.772
- All those stadiums filled with men that we saw,
- 00:03:09.772 --> 00:03:12.975
- You know, fill the landscape for several years.
- 00:03:12.975 --> 00:03:15.611
- But, you know, after covid, we have a whole new generation
- 00:03:15.611 --> 00:03:18.614
- Now that has to choose what we're going to do for ourselves.
- 00:03:18.614 --> 00:03:21.851
- And that's what i appreciate so much what you're doing.
- 00:03:21.851 --> 00:03:23.753
- What kind of traction are you getting and inviting men
- 00:03:23.753 --> 00:03:26.355
- Back into being promise keepers again?
- 00:03:26.355 --> 00:03:29.592
- Yeah. thank you.
- 00:03:29.592 --> 00:03:30.593
- We're seeing a huge surge.
- 00:03:30.593 --> 00:03:33.296
- You know, we've been running these little,
- 00:03:33.296 --> 00:03:35.598
- Commercials.
- 00:03:35.598 --> 00:03:36.666
- I'd call them under this campaign called make dads
- 00:03:36.666 --> 00:03:38.668
- Great again.
- 00:03:38.668 --> 00:03:39.268
- You know,
- 00:03:39.268 --> 00:03:40.403
- Play off of make america great again, which has to be
- 00:03:40.403 --> 00:03:41.937
- One of the greatest marketing moves in history.
- 00:03:41.937 --> 00:03:44.507
- And so we're just saying make dads great again.
- 00:03:44.507 --> 00:03:46.375
- And we're showing these
- 00:03:46.375 --> 00:03:47.443
- 92nd videos of just how awesome it is to be a dad.
- 00:03:47.443 --> 00:03:51.414
- I love standing for truth.
- 00:03:51.414 --> 00:03:52.782
- I love pointing out the flaws
- 00:03:52.782 --> 00:03:54.884
- And the hypocrisy of like, the progressive ideology.
- 00:03:54.884 --> 00:03:58.154
- But i thought, man, we need some media
- 00:03:58.154 --> 00:04:00.189
- That just shows how awesome it is to be a father.
- 00:04:00.189 --> 00:04:03.426
- You know, paint a picture that no words can say.
- 00:04:03.426 --> 00:04:06.462
- And with millions of views
- 00:04:06.462 --> 00:04:08.097
- On these commercials
- 00:04:08.097 --> 00:04:09.065
- Now and tens of thousands of comments,
- 00:04:09.065 --> 00:04:11.200
- We're seeing people who are like,
- 00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:13.002
- I got two seconds in and i started crying.
- 00:04:13.002 --> 00:04:15.604
- I wish i could have a wife and so that
- 00:04:15.604 --> 00:04:17.573
- I could have a family like this.
- 00:04:17.573 --> 00:04:19.542
- And what we're seeing is that the way god designed us,
- 00:04:19.542 --> 00:04:22.912
- Especially as men, like we want to be protectors and providers.
- 00:04:22.912 --> 00:04:27.983
- We want to raise a family.
- 00:04:27.983 --> 00:04:29.652
- We want to be a father of children.
- 00:04:29.652 --> 00:04:31.887
- And i think when you just give the world
- 00:04:31.887 --> 00:04:34.890
- That is running after the carrot on the end of the stick,
- 00:04:34.890 --> 00:04:37.693
- When you show them like, hey, there's another way, you know,
- 00:04:37.693 --> 00:04:40.663
- It's called being fruitful and multiplying.
- 00:04:40.663 --> 00:04:43.265
- When you begin to feed that to a culture,
- 00:04:43.265 --> 00:04:45.801
- It kind of whets that appetite.
- 00:04:45.801 --> 00:04:47.436
- They didn't even know was there.
- 00:04:47.436 --> 00:04:48.704
- And so the response we're getting has been overwhelming.
- 00:04:48.704 --> 00:04:51.941
- You know a couple that in with this.
- 00:04:51.941 --> 00:04:53.676
- You know, i've been in interviews
- 00:04:53.676 --> 00:04:54.744
- Talking about how the gen z voting bloc,
- 00:04:54.744 --> 00:04:57.179
- You know, really showed up,
- 00:04:57.179 --> 00:04:58.647
- How gen z males are leading the charge in the church.
- 00:04:58.647 --> 00:05:02.318
- You know, i believe that's because they are looking for
- 00:05:02.318 --> 00:05:05.888
- Truth, because they've been fed
- 00:05:05.888 --> 00:05:07.623
- So many lies and i'm thankful that, you know, we've
- 00:05:07.623 --> 00:05:10.626
- Got this truth right here, god's word that never returns void.
- 00:05:10.626 --> 00:05:14.563
- And people are they're eating it up right now.
- 00:05:14.563 --> 00:05:16.732
- Or promise keepers are certainly been a strong voice
- 00:05:17.767 --> 00:05:20.002
- Against that narrative that masculinity is toxic.
- 00:05:20.002 --> 00:05:23.539
- Do you feel
- 00:05:23.873 --> 00:05:25.508
- Like you're reversing that message a bit?
- 00:05:25.508 --> 00:05:28.110
- Yeah, we are. and you know what?
- 00:05:28.110 --> 00:05:29.512
- It's funny
- 00:05:29.512 --> 00:05:30.579
- Because we're catching some flak for it, of course,
- 00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:32.615
- But i think people forget that coach mccartney
- 00:05:32.615 --> 00:05:35.718
- On national media in the 90s was asked, you know,
- 00:05:35.718 --> 00:05:38.721
- What do you think about homosexuality?
- 00:05:38.721 --> 00:05:40.656
- And he said, it's an abomination to the lord.
- 00:05:40.656 --> 00:05:43.592
- And so none of our values
- 00:05:43.592 --> 00:05:45.261
- Have changed, but our culture certainly has.
- 00:05:45.261 --> 00:05:47.630
- And so holding the same biblical positions as you did
- 00:05:47.630 --> 00:05:51.233
- 20, 30 years ago is seen as an incredibly brave and,
- 00:05:51.233 --> 00:05:55.604
- Promise keepers.
- 00:05:55.604 --> 00:05:56.705
- We haven't drifted one bit from what the word says.
- 00:05:56.705 --> 00:05:59.742
- It's not very popular to make a statement like,
- 00:05:59.742 --> 00:06:02.511
- You know, homosexuality is wrong.
- 00:06:02.511 --> 00:06:04.313
- Lgbtq movement is eroding our society.
- 00:06:04.313 --> 00:06:08.017
- A man and a woman, you know, were created by god
- 00:06:08.017 --> 00:06:10.953
- To reproduce and multiply.
- 00:06:10.953 --> 00:06:13.088
- But they're truths that were, you know, it's a hill.
- 00:06:13.088 --> 00:06:15.524
- I'm willing to die on.
- 00:06:15.524 --> 00:06:17.326
- Shane.
- 00:06:17.326 --> 00:06:17.760
- Promise keepers
- 00:06:17.760 --> 00:06:18.661
- Seems to be getting some real traction
- 00:06:18.661 --> 00:06:20.129
- With a younger generation of men.
- 00:06:20.129 --> 00:06:22.364
- What do you attribute that to?
- 00:06:22.364 --> 00:06:23.966
- Yeah, i think we're seeing that shift in culture,
- 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.770
- And it was really backed up
- 00:06:27.770 --> 00:06:29.205
- Even in the election, as i referenced earlier.
- 00:06:29.205 --> 00:06:31.774
- You know, you had the vice presidential candidate,
- 00:06:31.774 --> 00:06:33.943
- Tim walz, who got a shirt on that said
- 00:06:33.943 --> 00:06:35.711
- The future is feminine.
- 00:06:35.711 --> 00:06:37.079
- And then you've got the fight, fight, fight
- 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:38.714
- Coming out of the trump
- 00:06:38.714 --> 00:06:39.715
- Administration and someone who's almost gave you
- 00:06:39.715 --> 00:06:42.751
- Permission to be a man again.
- 00:06:42.751 --> 00:06:44.487
- And when he talks about, you know,
- 00:06:44.487 --> 00:06:45.821
- The golden era of america, you think about, you know,
- 00:06:45.821 --> 00:06:48.958
- Hardworking men leading the american family.
- 00:06:48.958 --> 00:06:52.528
- And so i'm not surprised that we're seeing that carry over,
- 00:06:52.528 --> 00:06:56.332
- Not just in the polls, but in the pews.
- 00:06:56.332 --> 00:06:58.734
- And now people who are flocking towards,
- 00:06:58.734 --> 00:07:00.870
- You know, organizations
- 00:07:00.870 --> 00:07:02.137
- Like promise keepers, young men want to know how to become men.
- 00:07:02.137 --> 00:07:05.841
- You know, i'll finish with this thought.
- 00:07:05.841 --> 00:07:07.343
- I've been doing this prove me wrong tour.
- 00:07:07.343 --> 00:07:08.978
- I started it last semester.
- 00:07:08.978 --> 00:07:10.846
- And i'm saying america needs godly men.
- 00:07:10.846 --> 00:07:12.748
- Prove me wrong.
- 00:07:12.748 --> 00:07:13.849
- And i had a kid come up and he said, i'm 20 years old.
- 00:07:13.849 --> 00:07:16.685
- I agree with everything i've heard you say.
- 00:07:16.685 --> 00:07:18.320
- I'm not here to prove you wrong.
- 00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:19.688
- Can you teach me how to be a man?
- 00:07:19.688 --> 00:07:21.891
- And i just thought, wow, you know,
- 00:07:21.891 --> 00:07:24.126
- This kid is through his teens, and this is the question
- 00:07:24.126 --> 00:07:27.863
- He wants to ask, and it just shows me and convicts me.
- 00:07:27.863 --> 00:07:31.300
- We've got to be teaching the next generation
- 00:07:31.300 --> 00:07:33.669
- What it means to become a man, because they're hungry for it.
- 00:07:33.669 --> 00:07:37.339
- Well, stay with us for another segment.
- 00:07:38.173 --> 00:07:39.942
- There's plenty more to discuss during the break.
- 00:07:39.942 --> 00:07:42.978
- I'd like to recommend that you pull up aj now.com
- 00:07:42.978 --> 00:07:45.981
- And look over everything that we offer there.
- 00:07:45.981 --> 00:07:48.484
- We've had this
- 00:07:48.484 --> 00:07:49.685
- Show on the air for a year now, and there's plenty to see.
- 00:07:49.685 --> 00:07:52.888
- I'll be right back.
- 00:07:52.888 --> 00:08:00.000
- I'll be right back.
- 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.010
- Well, we're back now
- 00:08:04.477 --> 00:08:05.545
- With the ceo of promise keepers, shane winning's.
- 00:08:05.545 --> 00:08:09.316
- You know, we've all seen the latest numbers
- 00:08:09.316 --> 00:08:11.051
- That shows more and more
- 00:08:11.051 --> 00:08:12.118
- Young men deeply involved in christianity.
- 00:08:12.118 --> 00:08:15.722
- Not all of them are fathers.
- 00:08:15.722 --> 00:08:16.990
- But why do you think that's happening now?
- 00:08:16.990 --> 00:08:19.092
- What is it about these times that we're living through
- 00:08:19.092 --> 00:08:22.495
- That has led men to explore their faith,
- 00:08:22.495 --> 00:08:24.531
- Whether it's through organized religion or not?
- 00:08:24.531 --> 00:08:26.900
- There's definitely a hunger.
- 00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:28.868
- We want to see that keep growing, knowing.
- 00:08:28.868 --> 00:08:31.004
- Absolutely.
- 00:08:31.338 --> 00:08:32.505
- You know, there's that old phrase and i'd say part of it.
- 00:08:32.505 --> 00:08:34.708
- Hard times create strong men.
- 00:08:34.708 --> 00:08:36.876
- And we have young men growing up.
- 00:08:36.876 --> 00:08:39.112
- They've come through the covid era.
- 00:08:39.112 --> 00:08:41.348
- You know, they were said all of this
- 00:08:41.348 --> 00:08:42.949
- Nonsense on social media through, you know, big media.
- 00:08:42.949 --> 00:08:47.153
- And so they're like, there's got to be something more
- 00:08:47.153 --> 00:08:49.556
- Out there and they're looking for truth.
- 00:08:49.556 --> 00:08:51.725
- I remember in 2020, when i was a cop,
- 00:08:51.725 --> 00:08:54.194
- I would be making tiktok videos when i was not at work,
- 00:08:54.194 --> 00:08:57.330
- Just preaching the gospel.
- 00:08:57.330 --> 00:08:58.999
- And there were about eight of us who were on that app,
- 00:08:58.999 --> 00:09:01.868
- You know, that were really kind of,
- 00:09:01.868 --> 00:09:03.870
- Making an impact in that space that were known.
- 00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:06.840
- And i think within six months
- 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:08.675
- I grew to close to half a million followers.
- 00:09:08.675 --> 00:09:11.077
- And i'm not over here preaching
- 00:09:11.077 --> 00:09:12.278
- Like a gummy bear, you know, cupcake. jesus.
- 00:09:12.278 --> 00:09:14.914
- I'm preaching the actual gospel.
- 00:09:14.914 --> 00:09:16.816
- I'm saying, you know, turn from your sin,
- 00:09:16.816 --> 00:09:19.319
- You know, follow the narrow path.
- 00:09:19.319 --> 00:09:21.154
- And hundreds of thousands of people began
- 00:09:21.154 --> 00:09:24.057
- To follow my account.
- 00:09:24.057 --> 00:09:25.558
- And i just recognize men when you put the truth out there.
- 00:09:25.558 --> 00:09:29.562
- People are so hungry for it.
- 00:09:29.562 --> 00:09:31.231
- And so over the past few years, we're only seeing that
- 00:09:31.231 --> 00:09:34.801
- Grow and grow and grow.
- 00:09:35.301 --> 00:09:36.603
- And so i think in a in a culture where they're being fed
- 00:09:36.603 --> 00:09:39.606
- Lies, where they're seeing, you know,
- 00:09:39.606 --> 00:09:41.708
- Actual versions of toxic masculinity
- 00:09:41.708 --> 00:09:44.077
- Like andrew tate and dan bilzerian
- 00:09:44.077 --> 00:09:45.945
- And some of these other guys
- 00:09:45.945 --> 00:09:47.380
- Who make it all about money and sex and women.
- 00:09:47.380 --> 00:09:50.150
- They're like, there's got to be something more.
- 00:09:50.150 --> 00:09:52.485
- And, you know, incomes, promise keepers.
- 00:09:52.485 --> 00:09:54.954
- But you've made a very good case
- 00:09:55.588 --> 00:09:57.390
- That making dads great again shouldn't be an option.
- 00:09:57.390 --> 00:10:00.360
- It's essential to helping heal our culture.
- 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.163
- Can you explain that a bit more?
- 00:10:03.163 --> 00:10:05.632
- Yeah.
- 00:10:05.632 --> 00:10:06.666
- You know, i was reading, some historical book.
- 00:10:06.666 --> 00:10:09.269
- I can't remember which one it was,
- 00:10:09.269 --> 00:10:10.470
- But it was talking about communism and marxism.
- 00:10:10.470 --> 00:10:13.339
- And they said that the greatest combatant to,
- 00:10:13.339 --> 00:10:16.342
- Communism was a strong family unit.
- 00:10:16.342 --> 00:10:19.679
- And the leader of that family is the man.
- 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.249
- I mean, that's god's design.
- 00:10:23.249 --> 00:10:24.517
- You know, we are equal to women.
- 00:10:24.517 --> 00:10:26.519
- Men and women are equal, but we have different roles.
- 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.155
- And a man's role is to be that spiritual head of the home,
- 00:10:29.155 --> 00:10:32.325
- To be the leader of the family,
- 00:10:32.325 --> 00:10:33.793
- You know, the priest provider
- 00:10:33.793 --> 00:10:35.195
- And protector and when we have men stepping up
- 00:10:35.195 --> 00:10:39.265
- To lead their families in those ways,
- 00:10:39.265 --> 00:10:41.668
- You know, they will be the ones
- 00:10:41.668 --> 00:10:43.436
- To push back against things that come against them, such as,
- 00:10:43.436 --> 00:10:46.673
- You know, these
- 00:10:46.673 --> 00:10:47.841
- These progressive, communist, marxist type ideologies.
- 00:10:47.841 --> 00:10:51.578
- We've got to have strong families.
- 00:10:51.578 --> 00:10:53.246
- And unfortunately, right now,
- 00:10:53.246 --> 00:10:54.881
- One out of four kids will grow up without a father.
- 00:10:54.881 --> 00:10:57.650
- And so the work we're doing,
- 00:10:57.650 --> 00:10:58.685
- I promise keepers, it's not theoretical.
- 00:10:58.685 --> 00:11:00.553
- It's not just talking about doctrine or theology.
- 00:11:00.553 --> 00:11:03.523
- We want to have a quantifiable impact that we pray five,
- 00:11:03.523 --> 00:11:07.260
- Ten years from now. we can see those numbers go down.
- 00:11:07.260 --> 00:11:10.997
- Well, shane, you're both
- 00:11:11.531 --> 00:11:12.532
- A veteran and a former law enforcement officer.
- 00:11:12.532 --> 00:11:15.335
- We're seeing that since donald trump
- 00:11:15.335 --> 00:11:16.870
- Returned to the white house, more men are enlisting.
- 00:11:16.870 --> 00:11:20.073
- Why do you think that's happening?
- 00:11:20.073 --> 00:11:22.709
- Yeah, i can speak to that as a vet.
- 00:11:22.709 --> 00:11:24.310
- You know,
- 00:11:24.310 --> 00:11:25.445
- I people asked me five years ago what i want to get into
- 00:11:25.445 --> 00:11:27.847
- The military again.
- 00:11:27.847 --> 00:11:29.149
- And i said, absolutely not.
- 00:11:29.149 --> 00:11:30.850
- It really depends on your administra mission.
- 00:11:30.850 --> 00:11:33.286
- And because if your administration can't be trusted
- 00:11:33.286 --> 00:11:36.956
- Or you think that they've got
- 00:11:36.956 --> 00:11:38.291
- Bad motives, you could end up in a war
- 00:11:38.291 --> 00:11:40.426
- That you don't need to be a part of.
- 00:11:40.426 --> 00:11:41.795
- And when you joined the military,
- 00:11:41.795 --> 00:11:43.429
- You signed most of your life and your rights away.
- 00:11:43.429 --> 00:11:46.332
- But when someone like donald trump took office, people,
- 00:11:46.332 --> 00:11:50.036
- It shows that there was a restored faith
- 00:11:50.036 --> 00:11:54.174
- In our country again and that young men are saying
- 00:11:54.174 --> 00:11:58.011
- Now, i believe america is a country worth
- 00:11:58.011 --> 00:12:01.381
- Potentially dying for, because when you sign up
- 00:12:01.381 --> 00:12:03.683
- For the military, that's really the ultimate sacrifice.
- 00:12:03.683 --> 00:12:06.252
- You're saying you're willing to pay.
- 00:12:06.252 --> 00:12:07.987
- And so to me,
- 00:12:07.987 --> 00:12:09.155
- That is a great indicator of the health of the nation,
- 00:12:09.155 --> 00:12:12.458
- Or at least the pathway to a healthy nation,
- 00:12:12.458 --> 00:12:15.061
- Is that young men would step up and say, you know what?
- 00:12:15.061 --> 00:12:18.231
- Now, i would die for this country
- 00:12:18.231 --> 00:12:19.833
- Because i believe we're heading in the right direction.
- 00:12:19.833 --> 00:12:22.335
- No one would die for a country that was
- 00:12:22.335 --> 00:12:24.571
- Heading in the wrong direction.
- 00:12:24.571 --> 00:12:25.839
- And so i'm very grateful for this administration.
- 00:12:25.839 --> 00:12:29.042
- And i pray, just as in his first term,
- 00:12:29.042 --> 00:12:31.311
- We're able to stay out of any new wars during this one.
- 00:12:31.311 --> 00:12:35.215
- Well, shane, i know you understand law enforcement.
- 00:12:35.215 --> 00:12:37.050
- What about our border security?
- 00:12:37.050 --> 00:12:38.251
- Do you think we can actually maintain those secure borders?
- 00:12:38.251 --> 00:12:40.787
- I do, and i think that was evident
- 00:12:41.554 --> 00:12:43.656
- Within the first few weeks of,
- 00:12:43.656 --> 00:12:45.792
- I believe thomas, this name is the new borders are,
- 00:12:45.792 --> 00:12:49.262
- Which he's actually, you know, welcoming
- 00:12:49.262 --> 00:12:51.364
- That title, and he's walking it out.
- 00:12:51.364 --> 00:12:53.466
- I saw an interview with him, and he's
- 00:12:53.466 --> 00:12:55.368
- Thrilled to be doing that job.
- 00:12:55.368 --> 00:12:57.136
- And i think that's what you want
- 00:12:57.136 --> 00:12:58.838
- From someone who is going to serve in a law enforcement role.
- 00:12:58.838 --> 00:13:02.041
- They've got to have a heart for justice.
- 00:13:02.041 --> 00:13:03.810
- They've got to enjoy showing up to work in the morning.
- 00:13:03.810 --> 00:13:06.279
- And so while
- 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:07.513
- Kamala never went to the border, except maybe for a photo op,
- 00:13:07.513 --> 00:13:10.550
- You know, these guys are shutting it down
- 00:13:10.550 --> 00:13:12.685
- Within the first couple of days.
- 00:13:12.685 --> 00:13:14.587
- And we see the numbers
- 00:13:14.587 --> 00:13:15.955
- That the crossings have come down
- 00:13:15.955 --> 00:13:17.790
- And we have to become a country again that values the law.
- 00:13:17.790 --> 00:13:22.896
- You know, the bible talks about
- 00:13:22.896 --> 00:13:24.230
- And jesus said this, i believe in matthew 24 that
- 00:13:24.230 --> 00:13:27.300
- In the end times lawlessness will abound.
- 00:13:27.300 --> 00:13:30.403
- And when i look at the southern border,
- 00:13:30.403 --> 00:13:31.838
- When i look at even los angeles, right now,
- 00:13:31.838 --> 00:13:34.407
- It's like a city that has no laws.
- 00:13:34.407 --> 00:13:36.676
- It's it's total chaos.
- 00:13:36.676 --> 00:13:38.578
- And so to know that we've got people
- 00:13:38.578 --> 00:13:40.213
- On our southern border that value law and order,
- 00:13:40.213 --> 00:13:43.516
- It helps me sleep a little better at night.
- 00:13:43.516 --> 00:13:45.385
- Well, before we run out of time, tell our viewers
- 00:13:46.352 --> 00:13:48.388
- How they can get involved
- 00:13:48.388 --> 00:13:49.455
- With promise keepers and what you need the most.
- 00:13:49.455 --> 00:13:52.525
- Absolutely.
- 00:13:52.525 --> 00:13:53.192
- Yeah.
- 00:13:53.192 --> 00:13:54.093
- We've got an app that we just launched
- 00:13:54.093 --> 00:13:55.261
- So you can look for promise keepers in the app store.
- 00:13:55.261 --> 00:13:57.630
- We've got a weekly zoom bible study with guys all around
- 00:13:57.630 --> 00:14:00.767
- The globe. it's called overcomers.
- 00:14:00.767 --> 00:14:02.702
- You can find out all of this as well as all of our media
- 00:14:02.702 --> 00:14:05.405
- And our conference, events and, our dates and all that stuff.
- 00:14:05.405 --> 00:14:09.509
- I promise keepers.org.
- 00:14:09.509 --> 00:14:11.044
- So make sure you go to our website
- 00:14:11.044 --> 00:14:12.378
- And you can connect with us there.
- 00:14:12.378 --> 00:14:14.447
- Well, shane winning's, thank you for standing up
- 00:14:14.447 --> 00:14:16.683
- For godly men in our nation.
- 00:14:16.683 --> 00:14:17.984
- And thank you for joining us today. thank you so much.
- 00:14:17.984 --> 00:14:20.620
- When we come back, some thoughts of my own
- 00:14:21.521 --> 00:14:23.790
- On this very necessary resurgence of fatherhood.
- 00:14:23.790 --> 00:14:34.002
- On this very necessary resurgence of fatherhood.
- 00:14:34.002 --> 00:14:38.205
- You know, i believe it's important
- 00:14:38.973 --> 00:14:40.307
- To say out loud and frequently that we have a need
- 00:14:40.307 --> 00:14:43.877
- For godly men, godly husbands, and godly fathers.
- 00:14:43.877 --> 00:14:48.248
- See, fatherhood is a role of tremendous importance.
- 00:14:48.248 --> 00:14:51.952
- It's not said frequently enough, and it's not reinforced
- 00:14:51.952 --> 00:14:54.688
- Very often.
- 00:14:54.688 --> 00:14:56.190
- We have to become aware of how systematic,
- 00:14:56.190 --> 00:14:58.659
- How intentional, how pervasive,
- 00:14:58.659 --> 00:15:00.494
- How unrelenting this attack against fatherhood is.
- 00:15:00.494 --> 00:15:04.298
- You know, when i went to graduate school,
- 00:15:04.298 --> 00:15:06.233
- Theology school,
- 00:15:06.233 --> 00:15:07.434
- One of the first documents i was given in a very celebrated
- 00:15:07.434 --> 00:15:10.304
- Institution was an inclusive language document.
- 00:15:10.304 --> 00:15:14.141
- They said you couldn't refer to god with a male pronoun.
- 00:15:14.141 --> 00:15:17.177
- And if you did it in
- 00:15:17.177 --> 00:15:18.312
- A verbal presentation in class, they'd shut you down.
- 00:15:18.312 --> 00:15:21.248
- If you put it in a paper, you'd be failed.
- 00:15:21.248 --> 00:15:23.083
- You said it out loud.
- 00:15:23.083 --> 00:15:24.118
- You'd be silenced.
- 00:15:24.118 --> 00:15:26.053
- Well, then they followed it up
- 00:15:26.053 --> 00:15:27.287
- With a document proclaiming tolerance and saying that we're
- 00:15:27.287 --> 00:15:30.424
- Inclusive of a very diverse set of opinions,
- 00:15:30.424 --> 00:15:33.694
- Just not my opinion.
- 00:15:33.694 --> 00:15:35.562
- Well, society today is
- 00:15:36.030 --> 00:15:37.398
- Far more willing to talk about masculinity being toxic
- 00:15:37.398 --> 00:15:40.434
- Than we are willing to talk about its significance.
- 00:15:40.434 --> 00:15:43.404
- Fatherhood is not just a social construct or a cultural idea.
- 00:15:43.404 --> 00:15:46.907
- The statistics are overwhelming.
- 00:15:46.907 --> 00:15:48.842
- The difference it makes if there's a father in the home.
- 00:15:48.842 --> 00:15:52.579
- Well,
- 00:15:52.813 --> 00:15:54.014
- It's important to remember that fatherhood was god's idea.
- 00:15:54.014 --> 00:15:56.650
- The role of father is one of the
- 00:15:56.650 --> 00:15:58.318
- Great revelations of scripture.
- 00:15:58.318 --> 00:16:00.854
- When jesus disciples asked him to teach them to pray,
- 00:16:00.854 --> 00:16:04.525
- He introduced us to god as father.
- 00:16:04.525 --> 00:16:07.728
- Some of you
- 00:16:07.728 --> 00:16:08.562
- Remember it's the one of the most
- 00:16:08.562 --> 00:16:09.696
- Repeated prayers in human history. it's in luke 11.
- 00:16:09.696 --> 00:16:12.533
- He said to them, when you pray, say this, father, hallowed
- 00:16:12.533 --> 00:16:16.270
- Be your name, your kingdom come.
- 00:16:16.270 --> 00:16:19.506
- People say to me frequently, you know, i have a hard time
- 00:16:19.506 --> 00:16:22.309
- With that, because my earthly father was a very unpleasant,
- 00:16:22.309 --> 00:16:25.946
- Ungodly, maybe even an evil person.
- 00:16:25.946 --> 00:16:29.049
- Well, i get it.
- 00:16:29.416 --> 00:16:30.184
- Most families aren't perfect,
- 00:16:30.184 --> 00:16:32.186
- And i'm not saying it's always easy,
- 00:16:32.186 --> 00:16:33.921
- But it doesn't diminish or change the reality that god
- 00:16:33.921 --> 00:16:37.291
- Chose to reveal himself to us as father.
- 00:16:37.291 --> 00:16:41.095
- Fatherhood is about authority, establishes a pattern
- 00:16:41.095 --> 00:16:44.198
- For our character, and from that
- 00:16:44.198 --> 00:16:46.700
- The characteristics of our lives emerge.
- 00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:48.602
- The behaviors which emerge
- 00:16:48.602 --> 00:16:50.037
- From that character that's fashioned in god's image.
- 00:16:50.037 --> 00:16:53.540
- Godly men make a difference.
- 00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:55.142
- Your influence will help chart a new course for your family,
- 00:16:55.142 --> 00:16:58.112
- For our nation, and for the body of christ.
- 00:16:58.112 --> 00:17:01.215
- Well, this father's day, let's remember
- 00:17:01.215 --> 00:17:02.783
- We have a biblical assignment to honor our fathers and
- 00:17:02.783 --> 00:17:06.653
- To recognize that god has given to men a unique assignment.
- 00:17:06.653 --> 00:17:10.491
- It's a part of our life and our ministry,
- 00:17:10.491 --> 00:17:12.826
- If we will do that.
- 00:17:12.826 --> 00:17:13.894
- More reasons for hope than despair.
- 00:17:13.894 --> 00:17:16.130
- I promise we'll be back in just a moment with your emails.
- 00:17:16.130 --> 00:17:27.003
- I promise we'll be back in just a moment with your emails.
- 00:17:27.003 --> 00:17:31.545
- Thank you for spending a few minutes with us this evening.
- 00:17:32.713 --> 00:17:35.716
- Just a reminder, you can go to aj now.com.
- 00:17:35.716 --> 00:17:38.952
- There's a complete archive of all the shows.
- 00:17:38.952 --> 00:17:41.588
- We've been doing this for a year now.
- 00:17:41.588 --> 00:17:43.190
- There's a lot of information there.
- 00:17:43.190 --> 00:17:44.591
- There's even a newsletter you can sign up for
- 00:17:44.591 --> 00:17:46.827
- To keep up with all that's happening around the program.
- 00:17:46.827 --> 00:17:49.496
- And when you think about it, invite a friend to watch.
- 00:17:49.496 --> 00:17:51.865
- The more the watch, the more opportunities for all of us.
- 00:17:51.865 --> 00:17:54.902
- Your emails are always a highlight.
- 00:17:54.902 --> 00:17:56.837
- Lodi and arizona wrote.
- 00:17:56.837 --> 00:17:58.305
- It's hard to believe that there are still olympic
- 00:17:58.305 --> 00:18:00.040
- Athletes advocating for men and women's sports.
- 00:18:00.040 --> 00:18:02.409
- What will it take
- 00:18:02.409 --> 00:18:03.544
- To wake up to the truth that there are only two genders?
- 00:18:03.544 --> 00:18:06.813
- Well, i don't think it's a matter of waking up.
- 00:18:06.813 --> 00:18:08.282
- I think it's about the courage to speak the truth
- 00:18:08.282 --> 00:18:11.251
- Into the culture in which we live.
- 00:18:11.251 --> 00:18:14.021
- We've grown accustomed to being silent,
- 00:18:14.021 --> 00:18:15.756
- And we're going to have to find a new response point.
- 00:18:15.756 --> 00:18:18.058
- Bible is pretty clear on this god created as male and female.
- 00:18:18.058 --> 00:18:21.161
- I don't think that's changed.
- 00:18:21.161 --> 00:18:22.729
- Gloria in charlotte emailed,
- 00:18:23.330 --> 00:18:25.465
- I believe that demons are rampant
- 00:18:25.465 --> 00:18:27.367
- And we need to wake up and be alert.
- 00:18:27.367 --> 00:18:29.269
- Thank you, pastor allen, for keeping us informed.
- 00:18:29.269 --> 00:18:32.172
- Well, gloria, i agree
- 00:18:32.172 --> 00:18:33.207
- There's a lot of spiritual activity around this,
- 00:18:33.207 --> 00:18:35.075
- But let's not just focus on the demons.
- 00:18:35.075 --> 00:18:37.144
- I believe there's more angels
- 00:18:37.144 --> 00:18:38.679
- Busy with the purposes of god in the earth, advocating for us,
- 00:18:38.679 --> 00:18:42.683
- Helping us complete what god has created us for.
- 00:18:42.683 --> 00:18:46.119
- Let's stay focused on
- 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:47.187
- What god is doing in order to ignore the conflict,
- 00:18:47.187 --> 00:18:50.591
- But let's keep our eyes focused on the right side.
- 00:18:50.591 --> 00:18:53.493
- Neil in central pennsylvania wrote, schools need
- 00:18:53.493 --> 00:18:55.796
- To post the ten commandments to remind society how to behave.
- 00:18:55.796 --> 00:18:59.633
- Why are preachers so quiet on this?
- 00:18:59.633 --> 00:19:02.803
- My opinion because our churches are divided
- 00:19:02.803 --> 00:19:04.838
- And we don't want to cause any confusion or any division.
- 00:19:04.838 --> 00:19:09.109
- The truth brings division.
- 00:19:09.676 --> 00:19:11.144
- Jesus said, i didn't come to bring unity or peace.
- 00:19:11.144 --> 00:19:14.047
- I came to bring division.
- 00:19:14.047 --> 00:19:15.215
- And we're going
- 00:19:15.215 --> 00:19:16.183
- Have to have the courage to take the truth
- 00:19:16.183 --> 00:19:17.484
- Of a biblical worldview into our culture.
- 00:19:17.484 --> 00:19:19.987
- And encourage people to align with that.
- 00:19:19.987 --> 00:19:22.089
- Not easy, but let's not wait for the preachers.
- 00:19:22.089 --> 00:19:24.157
- Everybody can do that.
- 00:19:24.157 --> 00:19:25.125
- And finally, i heal from washington road, even though i'm
- 00:19:26.226 --> 00:19:28.962
- Truly hopeful now that we have a christian based white house.
- 00:19:28.962 --> 00:19:32.165
- What will happen to america once these four years are over?
- 00:19:32.165 --> 00:19:34.701
- May god help us all.
- 00:19:34.701 --> 00:19:37.204
- Well, our fundamental problem is not political and spiritual.
- 00:19:37.204 --> 00:19:39.840
- I can tell you what will happen if the church doesn't wake up
- 00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:42.209
- And the people of faith use their voices.
- 00:19:42.209 --> 00:19:44.344
- We will not maintain our liberty and freedom.
- 00:19:44.344 --> 00:19:46.446
- It's time for the people of faith to understand.
- 00:19:46.446 --> 00:19:48.849
- Our assignment is salt and light.
- 00:19:48.849 --> 00:19:51.785
- Well, i'm alan jackson, and you have a good evening.
- 00:19:51.785 --> 00:19:51.785
