So in this episode, we're talking about how to unlock the FUN of the weekly family meal (especially for dads).

There's an unhinged consensus that patriarchy is a problem, it's bad, and it needs to be dismantled. That's one of the core tenets of the new, secular world order and "morality". It's totally false, but it's been spurred onward over the past 100 years by feminism, which has also become a consensus. We're so steeped in it that seemingly everyone has assumed feminist tendencies and beliefs, just due to the waters in which we swim, culturally. Jeremy is joined by Dr. Carrie Gress today to talk about feminism, gender, abortion, and why all of this is a slow but steady under-the-radar revolution in an attempt to destroy America and Christianity. This conversation is VITAL to understand if you don't want to be polluted by the world. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:28 Something Wicked and End of Woman 5:06 This is NOT what feminism means 8:48 Should you want your daughters to be empowered and independent?
