The @jeff_hemmer has written the*best* book on masculinity in a Christian context in print (I've ever read). He's the focus of my podcast this week. It is the most challenging & encouraging book about the masculine journey you'll ever read. #DadsMatter podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/man…
A father & son(15 yr-old) spent 10 months going out for meals to discuss this book. The son shared his experience with me, "Being able to discuss each chapter with my dad has been a wonderful experience, and I hope it has helped me grow as a man." amazon.com/Why-Black-Live…
Father/Son working through this together forced key issues. The father: "We would take turns asking each other the discussion questions. And those questions prompted other questions. I want him to feel the freedom to talk to me as a man and let me know where I can improve."
Question: why would a mom prefer her son going to youth group to throw food, play a game, watch a skit, & hear a talk from a 25-year-old, *over* her husband & teenage son working through this book, giving her a better son AND a better husband? 2 for 1 deal! Dads > youth group.
Ooops. Here's the book: amazon.com/Man-Up-Masculi…
Here's the book (wrong link earlier, although book is good too, haha). Every man I've giving this book too told me it changed them. amazon.com/Man-Up-Masculi…

I'm beginning to think that Presbyterians have a distinct and unique understanding of the Sufficiency of Scripture doctrine that makes them foreigners & aliens in "Reformed" Evangelicalism. Presbyterians:
"The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man’s salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture..." thewestminsterstandards.com/wcf-chapter-1-…
Therefore, on matters not related to faith, other sources are needed and can helpful: sociology, psychology, science, math, philosophy, economics, etc. The neo-Calvinist, 1689ers, RBs, don't seem to believe this. They take sufficient to mean "exhaustive" so CRT scares them.

Elephant in the room: Asian Americans seem to prefer relationships with white people. “White supremacy seduces non-Blacks into believing that the further distance between them & Blackness the greater opportunity to become as privileged as Whites.” Exhibit A: NYC evangelicals.
“Not surprisingly, Asian immigrants and citizens have, at times, tacitly accepted this agreement.” If you don’t believe him, go over to Instagram & look at the pictures of NYC whites & Asians. You won’t see black people. I think we need a separate black/Asian conversation.
If you come to New York City (pre-COVID) my black friends noticed, in bars and restaurants, you won’t see tables of Asians mixed with Blacks or Latinos. There are real tensions. Prof. Jospeh: “We must also recognize that anti-Asian racism is a form of white supremacy.”

Dr. Samuel Perry once commented that many evangelicals suffer from “information isolation” (can’t find the tweet). I think it’s worse. It’s disinformation & information deprivation, within the context of isolation. Here’s why: I just had a PCA pastor attempt to rebuke me because:
My observation that, based on US history during slavery, Jim Crow, the white flight 70s/80s, etc., that I had zero expectations that US Christianity can pull off racial solidarity. Where’s the historical evidence in US history? I don’t see any, esp, during Jim Crow. His response:
(1) Christians ended slavery in America, (2) “The only persons who are going to consistently lay down their lives, livelihoods and comforts for the sake of others is the regenerated Christian.”

Fact: @SHAQ is one of the best dads in America. Data: boys that don’t roughhouse with their fathers (grades k-12) are more likely to struggle with addictions(drugs, porn, video games, etc.), lack impulse control, lack the ability to delay gratification, etc. #dadsmatter
If you don’t believe me read the data for yourself. Boys wrestling with their fathers makes the world a better place. Dads who don’t do roughhouse set the most sons up for struggle. amazon.com/Boy-Crisis-Boy…
If you don’t want to read the data. Listen to it. We’d have less sexual assault on college campuses, less teen drug use, teenage boys would struggle grades less, etc. if dads roughhoused more. It’s true.

Still processing: Jim Crow Era lynchings & today’s race tensions are the consequence of the 1877 Compromise, in my view. In the South, pre-Jim Crow Era, blacks & non-elite whites (the poor, white majority class) shared integrated social spaces & friendships. Jim Crow ended that.
If the black community reestablished Antebellum/Reconstruction Era solidarity with working class whites, they’d take over America. They have a common threat: Elites-(woke white Southern/evangelical hipsters, costal white progressives, racist conservatives) bittersoutherner.com/from-the-south…
And we know from church history, Christianity will never be able to advance racial solidarity in America. It never has in US history and never will. It’s going to have be politics & economics. amazon.com/Divided-Faith-…

If #robertaaronlong had been voted POTUS, many SBC/9 Marks/Founders/White Big Eva leaders would be claiming him as their own but b/c he’s a product of what many of us have warned about, their leaders are racing to dissociate their tribes. What cowards. washingtonpost.com/religion/2021/…
Thanks @strypedleopard for sending me this awesome @spulliam article!
#RobertAaronLong was radicalized here.
