Winning Against Wokeness
"I want to play an audio clip for you guys. The left try to dog our home girl I'll say Bethany mandel and Carol markowitz have written a book called stolen youth. I want you guys to go out and get it. And it's about how the left devastated youngsters all across the country with these whack behind lockdowns that did nothing, but exacerbate anxiety, depression, bad grades, put our kids behind, you name it. Didn't do anything to help the kids. So they talk about this stuff and all this woke nonsense. CRT DEI. Climate change that are impacting our children today scare the crap out of them. All right, so go out and get the book double down on the left is going after. They went after Bethany mandel. You know what? Go ahead and get her book again, she co authored co authored it with Carol markowitz. This is me just wanting to fight back against the left. And you're gonna be able to do it with their book. Now they're not a sponsor or anything like that. But I think this is very, very important. This is how we fight back. All right, so they're gonna stick the media on one of ours. All right, all right, we're gonna help them sell more books. But I do wanna play an audio clip for you. So this is what this moment went viral. All right, again, Bethany mandel, she's the co author of stolen youth this moment went viral. I want you to understand the background because she wrote a column over the weekend. And she explained what was happening at the time. She goes on this show the rising a show that put on by the hill, which is an online publication, but they have a YouTube channel or a regular television cable channel. I'm not sure it's been a long time since I've seen the scene of the show, frankly. But she appeared on the show. And she had a little brain fart, if you will, in the middle of the interview. But in the background, this chick has 6 kids that she and her husband are homeschooling. She had just got on. She was just dealing with two of her kids. She heard one of the hosts, I believe, if I recall her column correctly, say something kind of outlandish, kind of a dig towards, you know, families that have a bunch of kids. So here she was dealing with her kids right before she gets on. She hears something from them that kind of sounds like a dig. She's postured ready to go on defense almost after she hears this. But she but she's on to talk about her book. So here's the audio clip of Bethany mandel, the liberals went absolutely nuts, but they're not gonna win. We're about to beat their behinds in just a sec, but I want you to hear this. Audio clip, number one, pop up or Sean. And for Americans consider themselves very liberal. And probably fewer of them consider themselves to be woke. And so, you know, when we started that year, would you mind defining well because it's come up a couple times that I just want to make sure we're all on the same page. So, I mean, woke is sort of the idea that. This is going to be one of those moments that goes viral. I mean, woke is something that's very hard to define, and we've spent an entire chapter defining it.

Charlie Defines "Woke"
"I wanted to find woke. I want to play this piece of tape. She's a sweet person, Bethany mandel. She should have been more prepared for this. And it looks hard. You get put on the spot unless you host a radio program or a TV show. It's difficult to always have an answer. I mean, I think if she was asked to answer that as an op-ed, she would have done it, but it was she just kind of got a little twisted. Cut 92, Bethany mandel got asked a question by Brianna joy. Who I've debated actually. You guys should find that debate at turning point you say YouTube. Play cut 92, she gets asked the question of what is woke? Would you mind defining well because it's come up a couple times that I just want to make sure I'm on the same page. So, I mean, woke is sort of the idea that. This is going to be one of those moments that goes viral. I mean, woke is something that's very hard to define, and we've spent an entire chapter defining it. It is sort of the understanding that we need to totally reimagine and reduce society in order to create hierarchies of oppression. What bothers me about this clip and it's painful to watch is it makes us conservatives look stupid, okay? It makes as if we don't know what we're talking about because it would say well call the time. So we're going to dive into actually what woke is. Here's the best definition. Call everything systemically unjust until you control it. That's woke. Where does what come from? Woke comes from a particular activist who is wearing stay woke, get woke T-shirt, colloquially that was spread on Twitter, was that guy's name, del Rey or something, where you have now been awoken to all the systemic injustice, almost as if now you have the glasses and you can see the fault lines. You can see the fissures. You have awakened to the injustices. Before you were asleep and now you are awake. That is what the idea of woke means. But woke ism is tyrannical Marxism by another name. That's what it is. It is prioritizing race over merit. It is prioritizing characteristics that mean nothing. It is a full throated, negative campaign against the founding of America, woke ism is a campaign in crusade against people that they think are oppressors and turning people to believe their victims and then have the victims victimize others.

Karol Markowicz: The Inspiration to Write 'Stolen Youth'
"Yeah well what inspired you to write the book again folks the book is called stolen youth Carol markowitz and Bethany mandel you can pick it up right now It's available right now I strongly recommend you do I mean there are obviously so many stories out there about the travesty of what we're doing to the next generation But what was it COVID Was it the lockdowns I've ridden it for you myself and I can always tell you that moment I was like oh I got to write a book on that What was yours For us it really was COVID exposing how much children were being targeted in this country I think before COVID I look I lived in a really deep blue part of Brooklyn I lived in park slope I grew up in flatbush and bensonhurst but I was raising my kids in park slope And I would say that yeah it was liberal but it wasn't crazy And COVID exposed how insane it was getting and how insane it had gotten And I think that Bethany and I both saw the way children being targeted with the restrictions far worse than anybody else And we just felt like we had to speak up for kids But really the thing is also we needed to tell parents that all these books over the years of college kids being indoctrinated and how bad college campuses are They have to recognize that it's no longer college campuses It's starting far earlier It's happening in your kid's nursery schools And you have to do something about it This is the message of the book as you must fight

The Theft of Childhood With Karol Markowicz
"Said this for a while that the left aims to steal the youth to rob the innocence of our children. That's exactly the name of a new national bestseller, stolen youth by Carol markowitz and Bethany mandel, how radicals are erasing innocence and indoctrinating a generation and Carol joins us now. Carol welcome to the program. Hi, Charlie. Thank you so much for having me. Tell us about the book and how are our children's youth being stolen? The book is an exploration of the way the woke culture has taken over all of our institutions, all of our schools, organizations, licensing, organizations, basically every facet of society, and is now aiming all of their power at children to get them indoctrinated. And to separate the family in the book, we open with a history chapter on totalitarian societies and the way that this is not new. This is, you know, we have new words for it and we have new ideas that they're trying to push, but the idea of separating the child from his parents and getting that child indoctrinated into whatever idea you want them to have. That's a really old tale and we're seeing it happening in America today.

Riots, Arrests Following Charlie Kirk's Speech at UC Davis
"A little clip of it on Fox News this morning, not a big story. I want to get this straight. The Chancellor of UC Davis puts out a video, hours before Charlie is to speak, denouncing Charlie, attacking turning point USA, lying about Charlie, accusing him of being a vicious demagogue. Who wants to hurt people who wants violence against people, that came from the Chancellor of UC Davis, University of California Davis. In anticipation of Charlie's speaking engagement, well, look at what happened last night. They rioted. They committed thousands and thousands of dollars worth of damage. There's a video showing a row of protesters outside a bank of doors that are locked and the police are inside the video is taken from somebody on a cell phone camera. They start kicking through all the doors. They kick in all the doors. Shattering all the glass, guess how many people were arrested at the riot. You ready for this? Now if you've seen the video and you see all the tussles with cops and fighting with cops and breaking the windows, spraying people with pepper spray, assaulting people, you know, it's the normal antifa crap, the leftist, the Democrat leftists, who want a fascist shut down, speech they disagree with. That you're not allowed to hear it. You want to go show up on a college campus somewhere and listen to Charlie Kirk or who else, Bethany mandel. She got protested the other day, Ben Shapiro, any of these very effective young conservative voices who gravitate to college campuses, you're out of luck. There's going to be a riot.

You can do a blood test on anybody at any time and their blood will tell you male or female. Case closed, simple, not confusing, not there is their facial hair. Blood test, DNA, how many chromosomes? Why X, it is biologically determined. And there are people that are at war with reality. They say, I don't care. I feel I'm trapped. I'm trapped. And I think, you know, look, a woman can take drugs and grow a beard and have a child, and she says, I'm a man having, no, you're still a woman with a beard who had a child. Because only women can have kids. And this confusion is destructive, and I want to be clear about that. It's destructive. So if you don't speak clarity and order into this chaos and confusion, you're a part of it. And so I want to say it again. You guys have created a beautiful tool. She is she. You can go to she is she dot com, but it's a beautiful tool for people to reach your first of all, you can read it to your kids at home, and you can indoctrinate them with the truth. Because the truth is beautiful. It really is. But I'm so glad that you have decided, again, to do this, that you've done it so well. There's no way to put into words when I bring decades of experience with art and children's books to describe what it is that makes this such a winner. It's not just that it's true. It's not just that I agree with what you say, but you've done it so beautifully. It's just so well done. So the book is, she is she a book about your identity by Bethany and Ryan baumberger. She is dot com is the website and we come back. We've got another segment with Bethany and Ryan, but in the meantime, you can check out she is she dot com, check it out. Got it straight back. You're welcome using my mind. Welcome back, I'm talking to Bethany and Ryan baumberger that's BOMB, ER GER. The authors of a glorious children's book titled she is, she can go to she is she dot com. Let's talk about compassion, right? Because if somebody honestly believes they are trapped in the wrong body or something like that, you don't want to say to them, you're a loathsome messed up creature. You realize they're going through something very difficult. So how do we deal with people who are earnestly convinced that they're in the wrong body? What do we say to these people? I think that's so valid because we like to say this at radiance foundation. We can love every human being, but not every human doing. We can look at behaviors separate from persons. What's a little bit frightening right now is that we're seeing that therapist and pastors are really scared to talk about what it means or looking at gender confusion and really speaking into the confusion part of it. And so I think that those that are most wanting to be compassionate are really stuck in an interesting place because the world is saying you can't be compassionate without being affirming. And we know what the Bible says that truth does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. And that love doesn't delight neither rather, but rejoices in the truth. And when we truly love somebody, we can't embrace the lie. We have to love them enough to be able to speak truth and we are watching is that's becoming harder and harder.

Brave Surfer Bethany Hamilton Won't Compete Against Transgender Women
"I wanted to talk about this young woman who's a surfer. I think we got a clip on this. But it says, U.S. U.S. female surfer icon slams world surf, league for allowing trans identified biological men to compete against women, so let me see Bethany Hamilton, I want you to hear what she had to say because I think it was excellent and finally they standing up for this against this bull crap. Wrote a clip. Today I want to address the news that the world surf league has officially made the rule that male bodied individuals known as transgender athletes can officially compete in the women's division. The world surf league says they are following the Olympic guidelines. While I address this issue, I want to be clear that I strive to have love for all of mankind, regardless of any differences. But this concerns me as a professional athlete that has been competing in the world surf league events for the past 15 plus years. And I feel that it must speak up and stand up for those in position that may feel that they can not say something about this. I think many of the girls currently on tour are not in support with this new rule and they fear being ostracized if they speak up. So here I go. Questions I have that I want to consider with you. How is this rule playing out in other sports? Like swimming, running MMA. Have any of the current surfers in the world surf league been asked what their thoughts and opinions are on this new rule before it was passed or announced? Should there be a conversation with the 17 woman and all of the men on tour prior to a rule change such as this? Is a hormone level and honest and accurate depiction that someone indeed is a meal or female. Is it as simple as this? Who is pushing for this huge change? Does this better the sport of surfing? Is this better for the woman in surfing? If so, how? How did whoever decided these hormone rules come to the conclusion that 12 months of testing testosterone make it a fair and legal switch? Why is the WSL's statement about trans women competing with women and yet there's no mention of converted women competing with men? I personally think that the best solution would be to create a different division so that all can have a fair opportunity to showcase showcase their passion and talent. And I think it's really hard to imagine the future of women's what the future of women's surfing will be like in 15 to 20 years down the road. If we move forward. Great question. I think she had a lot of questions. Thank you, young lady. I feel bad for a car can see how nervous she is. I mean, I feel like I want to have a stroke listening to her talk about it because I know she's nervous and this is probably like the biggest decision in her life. Not competing, but coming out with common sense.

Bethany & Ryan Bomberger Discuss Their New Book 'She Is She'
"Talking to the author and author S I just want to say that to be provocative of a new book for children and adults and everybody in between. It's called she is she I read the whole book out loud just a moment ago on this program folks every word on this program and I'm sitting with Bethany and Ryan baumberger. Now I foresee this book. If people are brave, they will go to their local libraries and say, I want to do a public reading of this book. And you guys need to do this too. And see if you get pushback. You say, I'm going to come dressed as a man. I'm going to come dressed as a woman. Would that be okay? But I hope that that happens with this book, because it's such a beautiful, wonderful book. And so many people would get excited about this. Have you thought about that? Absolutely. And you know, it's very easy if you live in your town, you can donate any books you want to your public library. So we really encourage folks to get out there and take this message. Just donate the book. Even if you don't feel bold enough to do a reading, which you should, and if you don't, maybe find somebody in your friend group that's willing to do it because that's what we need to be doing. And if anybody gives you pushback, let us know. Typically do. Yeah, they typically do. And I foresee this is coming out next spring. Yeah, just to plug that for a second. Yeah. Yeah, but you're right. It is up to us to go to our libraries and to hand them this book, and to say we want this on the shelf. We want this book. Okay, what you're saying, Bethany. People who listen to this program know, this is where I'm coming from. Ladies and gentlemen, you have a job to do. People say, what can I do? What can I do? What can I do? Here's what you can do. First of all, a do something B if you don't have any ideas on what to do, buy a copy of this book, donate it to your public library.

"I talk about politics, talk about faith, but at the end of the day it's about culture, and so creating a wonderful children's book, like you've done here, as I said earlier, it makes me particularly happy, not just because how difficult that is and how rare that is to do. But because you're putting something into the culture that everyone can enjoy, not just learn from, but enjoy. When did you get the idea? Because Ryan explained to me, first of all, what it is that you normally do. I mean, you don't normally write children's books with Bethany. What do you normally do? We normally do a lot of different things through our organization, the ratings foundation. We try to the radiance foundation. Yes. Write that down. The radians foundation, bomb burger, go ahead. And the easiest way to get there is radiance life, but we create content that's fearless factual and freeing in order to illuminate that every human life has God given purpose. So whether you're planned, unplanned, able or disabled, and part of that is the speaking engagements that we do, part of it is the fact our form of journalism, our compassion community outreaches, and the other part are books and increasingly we have a passion for writing, not just books for children, but for books for the public to be able to illuminate the truth that every human life is purpose. And so this is one of those endeavors. There are a lot of things that we do. She's a teacher by profession. Right, I am a teacher by profession, and we live in a time in history when especially the Christians fear fear speaking out and fear speaking just simple truths. Right. And so we want to just Christians about it. It's like anybody. Who's saying who sees the lunacy and the thing I've been told I should keep my mouth shut. Right. Can I speak up? Can I say that that's insane? Right. So yeah, you're right. And I think that what we want to do is we want to take away the fear that comes with not being able to speak into these issues. And replace it with a confidence that comes when you have the tools to articulate actually a biblical worldview, a reasoned worldview. And so especially like he said, as a teacher for years, literature for years. For years, I taught in private Christian school. I taught in public suburban and then for years in the inner city in Philadelphia, I taught middle school. And so, which was easier than homeschooling. It's like the gulag archipelago. Are you kidding me? Middle school public middle school? And there's still a lot of Kensington Philadelphia. That's so beautiful that look, it's obvious that you guys are dedicated to all this stuff that you're talking about. You're not just talking, you're living it out. So, but I mentioned I've written all these children's books. And I became really a student of the art of children's picture books in the sense that they are, it's easy to fake it, but to actually create something that it's like a poem or a painting or a sculpture. It has to have the right balance somehow and the right. And you can't fake that. That's hard to pull off. So you guys have pulled it off in the book. The book is titled, she is she, by the way, I just can't believe you'd say something so mean. You're mean people. She is she, but the illustrations are also wonderful. Who did these illustrations? That's our friend. Ed kaler, who's amazing. Amazing. And like you said, literature can be a very powerful tool when executed properly. And so we're passionate about having powerful tools and not wasting anybody's time. And who knew that it was going to be powerful to say she is she, she's not he..

"My name is Eric with taxes. Many of you who listen to this program are know me, you've read my books. You might not know that I have written over 30 children's books over the years, starting and I think it was 1989. And I am a particular devotee of the art of writing for children. And what I've noticed is that a lot of people think writing for children is easy. I can write a children's book exactly the opposite. It's harder because you have to kind of strike a perfect tone and a balance that a lot of people don't. And they write children's books anyway. And so if I ever find a children's book that is particularly well done, I'm a little bit astonished because it's so rare. So let me just say, I am thrilled to be sitting here with the authors of one of those children's books. Bethany and Ryan baumberger, whom I know, welcome to the program. Hey. It's great to be here. Yeah. Well, it makes me happy to be happy about something. You guys have done something. Now, look, what you have done here is also brave and beautiful. So the title of the book is she is she. What? That's like scandalous. A book about your identity by Bethany and Ryan baumberger Ryan, you've been on the program before. Tell my audience the short version of what this is and then we'll get into it. The short version is we live in a culture that wants to pretend that we don't know what is that we don't know what a woman is. We don't know what a girl is. And so as parents of four children, two girls, two boys, we want to be able to counter all this gender spectrum propaganda. So we wrote to celebrate what it means to be a girl, celebrate motherhood and to celebrate undeniable biological beautiful her in a nutshell. Because women are under attack. I never thought I'd find myself saying that in this insane world in which we live. Now, Bethany, you identify as a woman. I do. You're open about that. Good reason. You're not ashamed. I felt like a woman. Right. And I'm just feel like I'm in the right skin. Incredible. Well, whether you feel like a woman or don't, you are a woman. And that's the kind of the key here. And that's what's so controversial and so crazy. But you know, I'm all about culture..

Sacred sites see development on this week's AP Religion Roundup.
"Sacred sites see development on this week's AP religion roundup. A church reopens at ground zero and a Jordan River baptism site may soon see a new village. More than two decades after a tiny Greek Orthodox church in Lower Manhattan was destroyed in the September 11th attacks, that church is far grander replacement open to the public this week. Michael sorrows helped organize the new saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox church and shrine. The national shrine completes the Trinity at ground zero. You have the museum. You have the reflecting polls, but now faith has been restored to ground zero. Say Nicholas is in an elevated park overlooking the rebuilt trade centers memorial Plaza. Olga Pablo says it has been a long time coming. 21 years, a lot of hardships, a lot of ups and downs, but we finally made it. Meanwhile, another building project is being planned on the banks of the Jordan River near the traditional baptism side of Jesus. This is worried some who want to preserve the area's character. Samir murad tears the organization planning the development. The baptism site itself is a Unesco World Heritage protected site. And will remain in its pristine condition as it has done for the past 2000 years. The Jordanian government donated about 340 acres of land for the development of the area known as Bethany beyond the Jordan. Tradition says John the Baptist, baptized Jesus here in what became Christianity's third holiest site. Many modern day visitors Don white robes and immerse themselves in the sacred waters, the development work will kick off with a sustainable village near the historic site. Later stages will see the introduction of botanical gardens, a bird sanctuary, and a wellness center. Historian Ian torrhen says preservation in the midst of development is crucial. Part of the listing is to preserve the site in its wilderness state, not turn it into something which is over commercialized, but to retain its spirituality. I'm Walter ratliff.

A Woman Came to Jesus
"Well, we're going to loop finally at this encounter between Jesus and this particular lady. So first of all, then a woman came. That's how it's introduced while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper. He was there having a meal, a woman came. Now, if your Bible is open there, you will notice that chapter 13 is essentially all of that discourse. But it's quite interesting that that particular discourse in chapter 13 is framed on either side by the introduction of two women at the end of chapter 12, remember the widow's offering that Jesus has observed and to which he has drawn his disciples attention. So in verse 40 three, he says to them truly, truly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. Why? Because he was measuring by sacrifice. Not by amount. He was measuring by proportion. So this lady had actually done something quite dramatic. And Jesus disciples were very slow to grasp the values of the kingdom. And you will notice, actually, that if your Bible is open, that it goes from Jesus pointing to this lady and saying, let me show you what it really means to be committed to the kingdom and to be involved in sacrifice. And it says, and as they came out of the temple, one of his disciples said Luke teacher what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings. He said, were you listening to me or what? But it's just like there's Sunday morning service, isn't it? The pastor preaches his heart out in somebody comes out and says do you want to go to Denny's or should we go to such and such? Well, did you hear what the man said, yeah, but we're finished with what the man said. Yes, it was something about a lady. She put in our money, but we'd rather talk about the architecture than face the challenge of Jesus words. We'd rather talk about just about anything other than face the challenge that Jesus brings.

Real Housewife Bethany Frankel Has Proclaimed New York City 'Unsafe'
"There's still maybe some of you who are on the fence with a New York City will make it back or not. Well, wonder no more because real housewife Bethany frankel began her unfortunate truth rant on Instagram and told everybody that the city is unsafe. So if you're on the fence, well now you know. You know, what do you do now if you're planning on visiting the Big Apple in your future? On one hand, you got the ultimate New York and Jerry Seinfeld who wrote an essay back in the summer of 2020 when people said COVID room to city. It's over. Jerry Seinfeld said, you don't have to always come back. We'll always come back. Look at that. What do you worry about? What's with this COVID? He's one of those guys. You can't help but try to imitate once you hear his name. What? Anyhow, he was like, don't leave the city. It's gonna be fine. But Bethany frankel doubled down. Especially in light of that psycho Frank James shooting ten on the Brooklyn subway train, she said the subway situation is terrifying, as if she takes it. And New York is not what it used to be. New York is not safe. Bethany's got an 11 year old daughter and admitted she can not help but be the dorky parent who doesn't want her kid walking around the city. It's scary and I have no choice if we're dealing with Manhattan and to be a helicopter parent. And I chose to not be in New York City to be honest, I think it's scary and we have to talk about it, she continued.

And I really applaud anybody who's willing to say that. Really say it. I have screwed up. You know, that's not easy to say.

"Were just like no. This can't happen anymore. So the group said goodbye to mica and moved on in the meantime bethany graduates magnet commod from southwestern university with a b a degree in english and a minor in spanish instead of moving on with her career though she instead moved to grandview missouri the head. It's the home of i hop. She moved up there. Following tyler madan so this two thousand nine and if you remember in two thousand nine we had the big recession and it really hit the midwest very very hard however i opted have this money that they invested in some land in missouri in grandview and it was one hundred twenty five and they were building just kinda compounds. Sounds like waco. They're just building this compound and tyler and bethany established their own chapter within this compound and it was kind of an internship for i hop so basically for five months. You would intern with them. And you were immersed in the bible and work programs you would study the bible eight. Am to four pm. You've ever break and then from six. Pm to midnight you would prey. That's pretty much all you did. There was a women's house in there is immense house. Okay so obviously bethany lived in. The women's tyler. Lived in the men's tyler was in heaven and having well and then tyler started referring to this this program as the community so these two houses that were part of it. This was the community. Bethany was still in love with tyler and finally tyler agreed to go on a day with her and became a couple. they would e- every intention to get married. The community thought it was strange though 'cause they never showed any sort of pda at all. Tyler told them that he wouldn't even kisser until they were engaged. And that came two and a half years later after them dating. Imagine dating someone and you didn't kiss for two and a half years relationship right. So in two thousand ten tyler was still a very big influence at the at the community. He was still continuing to encourage people to cut off ties with their families. And in fact he began insisting that his life purpose was to focus fulltime on the ministry and to begin preaching for a living but of course to do that he needed the other people in the group to support him financially. This is like colt one. Oh one on how you start and i. It's just a nice little group of friends hanging out and talking some harry potter next thing. You know you're living in the women's house so that's summer mica.

I really did do a lot. Of avoidance of. I tried to compartmentalize a lot in In a dude. Serve me. well. I've had to do a lot of work since then but truly the grace in olives. That was through our engagement through a dating and then our engagement. Must've it long distance. I was in ohio houston texas when we weren't wearing the grace was that i never had a questioners. I want to near him. There truly was such a confidence in this issue. I wanna i don't wanna date around and they're just west such content that i i really believe of course at that like the lord. Yeah hard yeah you can marry shane. And we our family and our kids and in yeah in the things that were hard about it like that. I definitely would have changed in. The moment sometimes still affected to change. I see not only good Guide got allowed them and permitted them for reasons. That years afterward you have been negro So anyway that's our story. is that yes. I wasn't mass because shane talking about it row quit. Yeah when shane. He's still this way. He is all or nothing he is. He is drinking celery juice every day. And you know like. I mean going on three mile runs in the summer. Texas heat owner replete with melted though vida on running around different spots. Let's just talk about how he in. He will say that he was sitting next to me is just like he also has Wrong personality in such a strong wiring. That i think some of that was helpful in pushing. It forward like okay. Like let's let's get married. Let's get so my like wrestle in. It was real hard for him. Yeah yeah okay so you said you identify what does he know what he identifies as. He thinks to any grandma's total just player. That feels on brand. It really does so. I think he's and he does not have a number because the grim is not you know. I don't even can't define people can't right right right right last week. We did an episode all about singleness and just kind of doing acuna about not being married yet and one of the questions. A lot of people kind of circled around. Was what if you miss. What god has for you. Or what if. I've missed the right person or and so will you talk a little bit about how you experience the sovereignty of god in that story of your life. I'm actually Reading a book called providence. Right now By john piper. Ooh okay blowing. Mind especially in the context of i've been in a season of you just grief in mental health issues and all of that i would say like experiencing the sovereignty in like the providence in the sense that like if the definition is that god is seeing to it that way rams are happening not just the ease in control but that he's actively involved of course there was freedom for you know. Need to really break up with shane or for shane ago. This is too risky. It's mysterious that. I can think back to when he was pursuing. And when there was all this relational conflict contingent going on in both of our lives and the risk of so much loss and a lot of feels a lot of negative fields. Honestly i can't look back. Thank on like a pros and cons list. That i made or Just this really amazing conversation. Had with someone that like. The clouds parted or i opened my bible on their sister. That has hebrew word. that means shane. That is what we want. You are so right. that is what i want. I look back. And i see like bowls of spaghetti going on in my this and member and a lot of mistakes and you know a lot of things that i've had to go back and ask for forgiveness for so i can't point to anything that i did or that. Shane did that. Like oh man. i'm so glad it really is a mystery. And i look back and go. Wow like like. I just told you. There really wasn't any especially for someone who deals with the with being led by feeling in being led by people's approval. It doesn't make sense that i pushed through in the sense of no like i'm gonna. I would like to be pursued by shane. And my dad says that's fine and all these things you know. The cheeser crossed eyes are dotted. And i'm i'm a yes. Even though they're such risk it doesn't make sense to me knowing myself he the lord saw to it and i don't know how but man it doesn't it didn't mean that we had an awesome engagement or an awesome wedding day or all of our relationships were just mended on day. One of marriage like you're pretty crappy years that followed and conversations again. It's it's a mystery but it does what it does do. It doesn't make me shaky. It actually strengthens my face. 'cause i'm like there's nothing i did not dead and i i have my own will and somehow in the mystery of that the lord saw to it that married and i'm so grateful in it's a good good gift. I love that the lord saw to it. That's exactly it. I mean there are times. Where i'm praying and i'm saying to lord..

"Yeah and so. I wasn't just out like chilling with everybody and he would come find me and be like okay. What are you working on a song. And anyway as the tour went on we definitely spent a lot of time together. But and i did hear shane say this not was just like a very unique grace was that were around everybody else and just kinda like in the context of community but i was just completely our so angsty thinking. This is just a tour thing. He's twelve years older than me. And this is like this doesn't make any sense so as soon as this tour is over weight is looking to have a crush. He's gonna end up getting married. I'd never dated august seventeen My life up to that point for sure was not the norm and I knew that it wasn't the norm for for me to like have my heart set on a person who was almost thirty so then that summer goes by and this is where stories. Start to like divert. A because yeah. He's right in. Saying i had no stinking clue. I mean i totally. Did the christian break up on him multiple times without even knowing it like. And maybe we'll get to talk about this. Knowing now the way that my brain works and just like some ditches for me i can go back look back in like more grace on myself but i think mind mind in my heart was just like Getty all of the time because We both were really public. And i was. Every i was like the token little sister in every situation. And so as shane. After that tour started to pursue me little by little and then had a conversation with me like hey i want to pursue you and i forget his exact wording but it was like. I'm not gonna do this casually. Because i'm twenty nine right around thirty eighteen and then man just a lot of really hard. Things started to kind of domino effect. Like mr was going through a divorce. At that time. I had left the home really early. Innocence in a big sense. Because i got signed so young and i always had a family member with me but a lot of autonomy. And you know. My mom was really grieving along with grieving. My sister's story than there was other stuff going on and then anyway we just had a lot of really strong opinions around us in. I had a lot of strong opinions around yet. My label in my family. My friends in Of just people. What's hard is that it's like it's understandable. Rival just going. Hey like are you flattered. That shame mike's you because this is the first person that you've ever You know. I mean everybody has asked that question and their first relationship do i like 'em schnur. Do i like that. He likes me so all of that just created a lot of white noise for me. And i think what was so hard was that i was given such a long leash basically like at a young age i was given so much trust. Really independence of like doing ministry and being out of the house and having just like a really different a different structure than most aids and then when it came to somebody that wanted to pursue me. Who was antastic And the only thing against it was just our age difference. That was all guesses of his motives or my you know ninety year whatever and so it was really hard i did. I mean it's true. That story of when i played a show in houston and he was in austin. Didn't let him know was horrible..

I wore a blazer because we were we were peacocking off in our in our in our text messages last night of who was going to be the cleanest most put together person today. But you have four daughters right so you have a lot of people you have to get ready every day so you don't have to shower every day. I just have me. I mean and you say that assuming that i'm getting the four daughters clean everything like myself clean so yeah but it is a lot of people. You're right that once we get clean. It's work what are their ages. They are eleven nine six and three. So is everybody back in school except the three year old. Oh you home school. Yeah well we do like a a university model so my older to go two days a week and then i home school three and then my six year old is home schooled and my three year old like already knows how to spell her name because she's the fourth right to sit there. She's just like. I wanna have a chinchilla five. I don't know origin. Shila is heard it our little school and so we welcome. You bernard academy there. You go okay so the first thing we started on this show that your husband was on when shane and shane ryan is. We heard his side of y'all falling in love and multiple people. I heard you heard it multiple people from our afdc week in review. Email responded said we have to hear her side of the story. I mean and then it becomes complicated because i'm supposed to honor him my husband. He didn't get everything wrong. Okay you know. It's a very subjective story. Lynn both end up getting married. So we can we land in the same spot. That's the end of the story. Is the same right right now. I mean wait. What am i supposed to your mean to tell you our story yet from your point of view. I think that'd be so fun. Okay well. I started christian music when i was i got signed the summer i was about to turn fourteen and then My first while we made the record the first record under bethany dillon. And then my first official tour was with the shane's and my sister. And i went out with them in. My sister was freshly graduated from college and single and shame. Bernard was like you know mean the most eligible. Yeah like worship leading did so. I had thought as we were going on that tour. I'm like my sister's probably gonna end up. Marrying shame bernard and this is why she's out with me because it doesn't make sense. I should be out with me. Which by the way you know your sister. And i were friends when we both lived in nashville and like. Do you know that history. Like right. When i moved in nashville is friends with your sister. Excuse me yes. I can't believe you. Never i know i know i know when when i think we both. I think we read each other's blogs okay. Yeah fifteen years ago yeah. Isn't that wild fish. That's so i'll carry on. I've already. I'm already in the family already. Been in the family. So kate racist or was that with me and i was just you know fifteen with with hairy legs on purpose not showering. We've already established that. I mean some things have changed about me. That i was for sure. Also in a very contrarian state being like newly signed to christian music. I was like. I'm just going to be myself so i'm out with my sister. Who is a woman and but they shane. Be and heard weren't there. It was kind of like okay but we became good friends with that whole crew in it was just a really formative tour for me because i a lot of the things. I was being like coached in or directed towards. Were not who i am even just in like delivery or appearance or whatever and so i think just like with all that juggling around in my head to be on the road with two guys that drove their onto our best and they were the best mechanics and they unloaded the trailer and set everything up and did the show and then treated everyone you know from the green room to the people signing line just the same and like all of that and then shane Tune in the middle of the songs. Or there'd be awkward pauses or he would talk for too long or whatever and that was all just really formative for me because it was permission. It's like oh okay like ministry still happening and this connects with me and it's possible in really authentic. Yeah really authentic. In so of course. I had a massive crush on him. I mean i was like. I don't know if i wrote it but i definitely said it to myself quite a bit like if i were older shimmer but totally like me. Twelve years apart right out right. So i'm just seeing all these girls like waiting to meet him and i just thought like like there's a kindred miss there and i just had a crush on him but then we finish that tour and then a couple of years go by and sometimes we would intersect and be doing the same kennicutt camper the same whatever and then i went back out on the road with them when i was seventeen going on eighteen and i still had a crush on him big time but something did shift and i noticed like okay like he. It's not just me like he is finding me everyday. Because when you're on tour and i'm an introvert and typically the only female back then on the road and so i just kinda figured out like a rhythm of like to get up before everybody because i love mornings and then i'm gonna make myself scarce and like find a sunday school room or whatever..

Mindset for Life
Why Do We Make Assumptions?
"Welcome to the mind. Set for life podcast. Today this is bethany hansen. And i am so glad you are here. We're gonna talk about assumptions today. Have you ever had someone really let you down or expect something of you that you just had no idea about likely that was because a there was poor communication but the there were some assumptions. Either you had an assumption about the other person or they had an assumption about you and that wasn't communicated enough. I've talked for a few weeks now on the mind set for life. Podcast about the ladder of inference. I've never mentioned the letter of inference. So if you listened to episodes seventy eight and seventy nine you're not gonna hear me mention it but that is exactly what i'm talking about. The ladder of inference is this tool. That really tells us what we are thinking. It's interesting because when we think in sort of these steps are brain just flies through it. We don't even realize we're doing it. But the ladder of inference gives us sort of a structure to which we can then slow down think about it and realize where we went wrong in our thinking or where someone else went wrong in their thinking at where we need to fill in the blanks. The crazy thing is a lot of the thoughts in our own ladder of inference. Come from our younger life like our childhood or our youth. We have some experiences as we're growing up or as were young in the world and we draw a conclusion based on those experiences

I'm going to dive into the interview. All right around at bethany mcgraff here. And i've known you i was thinking the other day I met you eighteen years ago. Oh my gosh. I know i was like i was sixteen years old so that that was eighteen years ago. So weird. i know. I'm like that's almost twenty years ago. Like how is that possible so bethany through one of my best friends. It's her sister. So i've known you for a very long time through church canada and all of that and just kind of follow your journey along so i was thinking about this month of july. It's called bereaved parents months. And they talk about loss and holding space for people who have experienced that and trying to think of. Who do i know who who has experienced loss. And who has shared it and who i follow and who's an inspiration to me so i was like all reach to and see if she wants to come on. So thank you for being here see. I'm honored thank you. Yeah concern love for you. Just to kind of share your story of pregnancy and your fertility journey and And just kind of how that was for you and your husband okay. Yeah so my husband. And i got married in missouri At a young age and then a few years after marriage removed to air zona for a job. And that's where we still are now which is awesome. I love And we've always wanted kids. You've always talked about four kids but we'll see how it goes you know type of thing Just because we both come from families of four and I remember i had. It was on twenty four th birthday which is like this is a stupid story this part right here by twenty per day. I remember crying. Because i was like. I'm getting so old and we don't even have any kids which is so crazy to think about. Because i'm thirty two now and i'm like i'm not old right right. I was in. I just had all this. I put this pressure on myself to like get married. Have kids you know. Be a young mom all that stuff and it was just. It was dumb. But that's where all started And it was like literally that that day. We're both like okay. We'll let's start. Let's start drying like. Maybe we already ready for this. We're in a season of you. Know a good job a steady job and where we end up where you wanna be. So let's go ahead and start and So we didn't really know anything you know. We were very naive to the process of having kids. You know i had heard of infertility about other people. But i had never had anyone super close to me that i knew a lot of details about it so i never even thought about it. Never even thought it would be something you'd have to worry about So few months go by. Nothing's happening you know. I think a lot of people can relate in that the first time especially especially if you were a little naive like me like a few months feels like forever and to some. That's not anything and to others is. It feels like forever So after probably we're getting close to like eight or nine months. I'm like you know what i think i have. I have this. I'm googling everything searching everything Probably not the best idea. But i know many of you have been there and i was like i need to see dr. I need a see infertility specialists Because this is happening where heartbroken every month. All my friends now are at the age should time where they're getting pregnant and it's easy for them you know. I've got friends. You not even trying. And they're actually getting pregnant and some friends are on their second kid. And i'm just feeling again just behind in putting so much pressure on myself but Still really just sad that we don't have a baby to hold In so i had found a doctor that was going to be covered by insurance. 'cause a lot of infertility specialists not covered by insurance and we just couldn't afford that at the time so i found a doctor who has obgyn but he could do some infertility staff like he had worked a lot of women going through infertility. He just wasn't necessarily the specialist in so we drove like a long way. Not not a long way. I guess but further out than me wanted to for this doctor and we met with him and This was right at about your. We have been trying for a year When we met with him and so we met with him. Talk to him. Got asked if you questions and then we were heading up to a season of camp. We we run youth camps for months up a couple of hours away from where we live in. So we're gone from home for a month every year in so we're like okay when we get back will be able to do tests and do some things but now we at least have established with dr and while we're at camp i was late with my cycle and you know feeling little nauseous here and they're just feeling different and could this be but So scared to take test. Like i'm like oh wait another day. I'll wait another day because you just let down and the disappointment so Waited waited waited finally one night. We took a test and it was positive a and it was my first positive pregnancy test..

"It's like you're clearing house of pain really. I mean that's one way of putting it. But it's a sacred. It's a sacred brave thing that every parent i have so much respect for parents actually not a parent myself but i have so much respect for moms and dads. Who are really wanting to do this work. Because it's brave. I think it's the most empower most important work that you can do as a parent is to just be as conscious as you can and you're gonna make mistakes and you are gonna pass things along but that's okay. Kids don't need perfect parents. They really just need parents who are on their path on their path of growth and by being on the path you're gonna lighten their load for shore. Yes yeah you're gonna like that definitely. I couldn't agree more absolutely but it's interesting. You said this phrase the clearing house of pain. Sounds like really heavy. But i think what i would what i would i in my mind. I requested that. Two of a phrase that my teacher the zen master Han has said which is really beautiful and he says that no mud. no lotus. Yeah which is the flower that symbolizes enlightenment. It grows in the mud. And if you're a good or getting gardener you know that what flowers need is poop. They need rotten yucky vegetables. They need you know manure like they know mudd. No lotus without those difficulties without those pain pain. The wound all that like without any of that like. There's none of this flowering of awakening of compassion. That that you describe. And and i firmly believe that was beautiful. Yeah thank you so much bethany. This has been so beautiful to talk to you. I really appreciate your sharing your your journey and your voice and everything to to do this You said your book came out the night before you had. The book release party was at the night after the night. Before the insurrection at the capital it was actually my book. Event was the night of the insurrection. Yeah oh my goodness. And so. So i just want to. I know we're at the very end of our conversation. Like i'm really just curious about a little taste of how you talked about that. Just a little bit. Can you share absolutely. Yeah what felt so. Luminous about speaking about the mother wound on the night of the insurrection. Was that you know at the time i think are. Actually i think it was a little bit later but yet it was this feeling like you know people were saying unity. We need to have unity and but then people were saying well. We can't have unity without accountability And so this was something that i really got. We just started talking about. you know. that's kind of the truth. And our families. As well. And i think we're at that that generation where generations of the past loyalty and love meant silence. It meant pushing things under the rug. It meant putting a happy face on suffering. That's what family loyalty meant for. Many generations was not talking about things that matter not talking about painful things and i see this on the national level..

"Whole journey of how you know spirituality and trauma healing intersect. You know for so many years. I thought i was onto paths. That was in therapy. And then i was doing spiritual growth but i realize the more i healed my trauma. It's like they merged into one path and this is true today. Like even the more spiritual longing and kind of surrender. I experienced my own life. They'll be another layer of by trauma that will come up for healing. So it's like the more i. He'll another layer. The more connected i feel with life and with other people and more compassion more empathy. So i feel like they're very much linked when we can face our own suffering and and have support you know with a therapist or some other professional when we're held when we're deeply held in that way we can let go of a lot of the identities and you know old like patterns that we've taken on to survive dysfunction. We can start to discard that scaffolding. Those old for me the the people pleaser and the good girl and overachiever like those. I realize those actually were never who i was but i had to put on those masks in order to function inside of that family unit and the more support i got the more i've healed the more i could just shed those identities and feel more secure in this really existential sense just being just the fact of being and being able to trust in the present moment that i can do that more and more that i don't need these little you know they can be grown out of and there are identities can expand to even more trans personal levels. That's beautiful utah. Took that into words. A lot of words to use. Though i love it. So you're talking about so. I know that the listener nodding your head along with bethany going like oh my god yes yes yes yes yes so you talk about healing this mother wound by finding your inner mother..

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood
Perfection in Modern Motherhood
"Perfection. In motherhood learned from reading your book to my not surprise. Is that perfection. In motherhood is a very very old dictate take us back to where the history of mothering advice. Sort of well. I'll get us started as the historian in the group. So something that maggie. And i have talked about for a long time. Is that the expectations for motherhood have changed sort of bradley like today. You don't expect your children to know how to guide a plow agriculture society anymore but the expectation you will raise a certain kind of citizen is still in place and while that can sound like a good thing. The particulars of that have changed over time. They've gotten more and more intense and more more particular so now it's about what kind of education your child gets. How much screen time they have. What kinds of foods they eat or do not eat how they sleep where they sleep. There's all of these different questions whereas before the social project was more about getting people who could do the kinds of work that were valued in this society and to participate in certain ways. Certainly if you're a woman you weren't participating through voting for most of american history but the particulars have gotten much more intense over time. When you say maggie yes in. I were able to really dig into a lot of historical archives and kind of see where some of these messages began. And how they've either shifted or not shifted throughout history and just to have access to some of the messages that women were told in late. Eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds was particularly fascinating to me. Some of their struggles were very similar to mine in a lot of the questions that they had really resonated with

"bethany" Discussed on Greg Laurie Podcast
"Hey everybody greg laurie here. You're listening to the greg. Laurie podcast and my objective is to deliver hopefully compelling practical insights and faith culture and current events from a biblical perspective to find out more about our ministry. Just go to our website harvest dot org so thanks for joining me for this podcast today. Buddy have you heard i. I met bethany when you were around. Fourteen years old and the interesting thing is bethany was born in the same year that we started the harvest crusades. So you want to know long. We've been going as long as bethany. Hamilton's been alive right d. We're born in one thousand nine hundred ninety into a family of surfers. Your dad served her mom serfs your brother serve and the you were living right there on the beach and quiet. I mean that must have been an ultra cool. Life is amazing. I have a beautiful family is so supportive of me and everything that i do and growing up in hawaii is incredible just surfing and you know everyone knows everyone and when i was about five years old is really when i started getting into surfing but at the same time i gave my heart to god and from there the combination enemies ing life so you were raised in a christian home going to church your whole life and that was a part of your life and your life was radically tested. When at the age of fourteen an october thirty first right two thousand three you were out surfing and you were attacked by a fourteen foot tiger shark. And what can you remember about that day. Yeah losing to a shark was crazy. Experience that i don't really like to talk about much but one thing that i'm just so in that god was there that day and he gave me the ability to stay calm and just trust in him and you know he had a reason for me surviving and see. Most people would see this as such a horrible thing. But i see all the beauty and good that god has brought out of and it's just incredible how he can turn things that we don't understand into good. You lost sixty percent of your blood that day and your doctor said it was a miracle that you recovered. Did you think you were going to die or did you think you would survive. This are thoughts when you're out there and you're bored and you're being brought in turn kit was tied with a leash around your arm right what what was going through your mind at that point. I mean as thirteen years old. And i was surprisingly calm but i was. I remember praying and hoping to survive and just focusing on that. Of course i was scared to death and i wasn't sure if i was going to survive but i'm here today and still surfing and sharing my life story and it's cool that's right you have share your story. Everywhere that great you've said bethany. Uc as a chance to get people hope for their life. And you've been all the media has covered this. You've been featured on twenty twenty the today show the tonight show in multiple other outlets. You even won an award the courage award at the teen choice awards and you know what's really cool and it was reflected in that video. Is you talked about your faith in. jesus christ. Why did you do that bethany. I guess from year. I grew up in hawaii and just a really simple lifestyle just surfing and hanging out with friends and just and then when this all happened just my life three hundred sixty degree turn round and all of a sudden featured on all these shows and stephan. I just knew that. God wanted me to share his love and i felt his love and peace immediately after the attack. It was really cool. The two weeks prior to the van my mom had been praying fervently like god just use me and let me glorify you in my life and and that was our specific pair and so in the tac happened. It was like crazy godless. We knew he was in control and and we just gave him our worries and struggles. And i have a couple of versus. I wanted to share with you. Guys tonight I'm gonna read them. But so colossians. Three twenty two through twenty four bond servants obey and all things your master according to the flesh not with our servant as pleased as men pleasers but in the series of your heart fearing god. And whatever you do do heartily as to the lord and not to mend knowing that from the lord you'll receive the reward and inheritance for all you all you serve christ and i've just been realizing lately it's like we're we're called to serve god and and fear him at the same time and and when we do that his presence just takes over our life and he can rock our world and whatever you are and wherever you've come from like he can use you and make your life incredible. That's great bethany. Stories gives me a movies been made about your life soul surfer mazing film. How many of you have seen soul surfer. Wow look at that. Great great film on the theater and then i watched it again the other night. And what's really great is at the end. They have a surfing you doing the actual surfing in for a lot of the scenes when the character plane. You was surfing when the girl was on the way. That was the real bethany right. Making salsa was insane. My family and i were all really involved in so we got to keep it as soon as possible and i had a blast shooting some of the stunts surfing and just becoming friends with all the actors. And so yeah. I hope you guys enjoyed the film and it was still fun to be a part of definitely a lot to making the film. So what would you say to someone here tonight. that maybe is had a setback. Maybe they had an accident. There's been a tragedy in you. Come through all of this. What is your message to them. And what place. A relationship. With jesus christ can play in all of this well first of all. Like god's love for you is an ending and no matter what you do. He's gonna love you. Forgive you for whatever you've done or been through maybe if someone's hurt you or or you've heard someone else. I think it's key to just ask god in that person for forgiveness or forgive them if they've heard you and then from there just taking it one day at a time and just learning to trust in god and his his power to help you get through those circumstances. Yeah got it. Got us so good. And he's always here for us and we just have to open our hearts to him and he will take care of you from there. Thank you bethany. Hamilton takes come back.
