🧵 1/ For those interested in the Crusades, a couple recommendations...
First, @HwsEleutheroi is a brother in Christ and I would encourage all who engage with him in a respectable way. Disagreement is fine. May discussion strengthen Christ's church.
2/ I would start with Rodney Stark's book, "God's Battalions," which debunks a lot of the modern myths and outright lies of the anti-Crusade rhetoric.
Also, Dr. White brings up valid concerns—not everything that happened was good. But perspective on that era is important...

🧵A longer thread on Motherhood. And why, for the sake of Christ's Kingdom, women desperately need to go home.
If New Christendom is to be built, women must be restored to, and taught to embrace, the glory of their natural design as Mothers and Keepers of the Home. 1/2/ There is no more glorious, natural, kingdom-impacting work for a woman than this. Not in corporate America, not in some other workforce, not in politics, with her kids turned over to the state for discipleship in secular humanist thinking.

What are the golden calves? 1/2/ 1. Public education. The U.S. spends roughly $357 billion on K-12 every year, w/ declining education levels. Just talk about alternatives and the mob shows up w/ pitchforks.
In reality, public ed is a giant money laundering scheme for directing funds to admin/bureaucrats.

From Virgil to Dante to Dumas, the greats have understood a major thematic element in the story of masculinity…
The descent into hell. To find the golden branch of the ancient tree, men must descend into suffering, eating ashes, grief, death. 1/2/ In the Aeneid, Sybil tells Aeneas he can descend into hell (black), but the real trick is the ascent back—resurrection, rebirth.
To mature, men must make this repeated journey. Symbolic death, eating thorns, rising anew as the Phoenix.
