About this episode
We are living in a time of open, declared warfare against the family. This is not a new war, but the front has moved. The enemy is no longer content to snipe from the hedgerows; he is now conducting a full frontal assault on the very idea of fatherhood, of motherhood, of the covenant household itself. Every institution, from the government schools to Hollywood to the corporate HR department, is conscripted into the task of erasing the lines God has drawn. They want to tell our sons that their masculinity is toxic and our daughters that their femininity is a social construct. They want to sever the transmission of faith and culture from one generation to the next, leaving our children isolated, catechized by the state, and ripe for tyranny. And nowhere is the foundational nature of familial instruction more clearly laid out than here in chapter four.
