How To Inspire Christians To Take Action in a Distracted Society

What if we told you that the low bar for success in our society opens up a surprising opportunity for Christians to construct a parallel society? It's an alarming truth that over half of Americans haven't picked up a book in the past year. In this state of zombie-like stupor, brought on by factors like prescription drugs and unhealthy diets, we see not just a societal problem, but a chance for future success. In this episode, we urge you to take note of the situation, inspire your children with reading and writing, and seize the opportunity to raise the bar.

Ever wondered how a century-long influence of dispensational Zionism has shaped the mindset of American Christians and the American church? And how this theology has led us astray from our mission of glorifying God and discipling nations? We trace back to the history and funding of dispensationalism, outlining its impact on our society today. But despair not, for we can lead by example and inspire others in building a parallel Christian society. Join us as we discuss the role of Christ and the Holy Spirit in discipling our children and persevering in our efforts. Share this episode and speak freely about these topics, because it's high time we started building a society that truly celebrates Christian values.

What's going on everybody? Welcome to the Parallel Christians Society podcast. My name is Andrew Torba, I'm the CEO of capcom and your host. We have a great episode for you today and it's about just how low the bar is for our success in the long term play of taking back our country, taking back our culture, taking back our families, our churches, all the rest of it. You know, when I go out into society, into the mainstream society, as I'm thinking about building a and doing, actually doing, actually building a parallel Christian society, you know, starting in my own home and you know, in my own church, my own local community, and then more broadly, on GAB as well, and influencing others to do the same, I go out into the mainstream society, whether it's, you know, going into town, venturing into town, venturing into a Walmart, venturing into any of the major big stores, and, you know, checking out and looking around and just observing.

Speaker 1: 1:17

And I've talked about this, I've written about this, there's a chapter in my upcoming book about this sort of like the zombie world that we're living in and it's so disheartening. But, you know, it's also so inspiring because it just it shows just how low the bar is for for us and for our children and for the future. You know, I look around at people and there's just sort of zombie stare in their eyes. Right, it's like they're either drugged out of their mind or they've ingested so many seed oils and so much goyslop that their minds and their faces it's just like this SSRI stare. There's that me and the SSRI stare and it's, it seems like it's like everybody you look at and everywhere you look it's like everybody's like the walking dead, it's like there's zombies, and in one sense it's. It's kind of scary, right, because there's so many people that are just walking around in sort of a stupor, but in the other sense it shows just how low the bar is for us to succeed in the future and over the long term.

Speaker 1: 2:23

And so I wrote about this the other day. You know I said it's pretty simple we're having kids, we're teaching them to read and write, we're protecting them from the twisted freaks in society, and so, therefore, victory is inevitable. But we have to play the long game, and one of the things that I saw that sort of made me come to this conclusion was this the study that over 50% of Americans haven't read a book in the past year. So there was this survey of 2000 American adults and what they found was that more than half 51.57% haven't read a full book in over a year. 22% of adults haven't read a book in over three years and 10% have not read a book in a decade, which is crazy. And then they found this other stuff. There's this one book rule Finishing one book is all it takes to start a reading habit.

Speaker 1: 3:17

28.7% of people never finish a book they start reading, but those that finish one book are 29 times more likely to read another one. And, of course, fewer young people are reading and read less than half the number of books of older generations. So nearly Quarter of adults have not read a book in one to two years, and another 11% haven't read a book in three to five years, which is absolutely crazy. So fewer young people are reading and they're reading a lot less than the older generations. So, in terms of average number of books finished per year, boomers finish about nine and a half books per year, gen X finishes about six books per year. Millennials finish about four books per year, and then Gen Z is 3.5.

Speaker 1: 4:07

And so you know, if we just simply teach our kids to read and write and communicate clearly, you know we're sort of heading towards idiocracy. I don't know if you guys have ever seen that movie, but you know we're heading towards a society where people cannot accomplish very basic tasks like reading and writing and communicating. And as long as we teach our kids to do these things, they're going to basically be kings, right and like. That's the barrier. I've been talking to a friend from church about this and you know his wife made this point that you know, as long as we teach our kids to read, they're going to be so far ahead of everyone else in their cohort that they're going to stand out and they're going to become leaders and basically be kings over the long term. Because that's sort of how low just how low the bar is for success in our stupefied, zombified world is. If you can read, if you can write, if you can communicate with some basic skills, you're going to be way far ahead than most people and this sort of zombie culture. You know, again, there's a lot of things you can attribute it to right People are.

Speaker 1: 5:26

People are sort of walking around stupefied. They're either on prescription drugs, they're on regular drugs, they're on, you know, copious amounts of goyslop and and seed oils that just numb their brain and turn it into mush and you walk around and you look at them and you just observe, like I encourage you to do this next time you go out. Every time I post about this, it gets tons of people, you know, react and leave comments and say that they're noticing the exact same thing. It's kind of scary that people are like driving on the roads like this. First of all, that's that's. That's certainly something to be wary about. So maybe self-driving cars is a good thing, so that people aren't driving in their stupefied, zombified state.

Speaker 1: 6:13

But you know that's, that's how the people in power want us to be. They want you to just be a ball of mush, they want you to be a zombie brain so that you don't notice what's going on. You don't notice that your, your freedoms are being torn away from you and our society and our culture and our country is being radically altered and radically changed Demographically, culturally, historically. They're destroying, you know, parts of our history, parts of our culture and you know they're playing for the keeps. And if everybody is sort of in this stupefied state, if everybody is just stuffing their piehole and sitting in front of the TV and turning on the NFL and turning on the news and not really paying attention to what's actually going on. You know, then they're going to get away with it, and so that's that's how they want us. They want us to be drugged out of our minds and stuffing our faces with food and just existing right Existing like sort of domesticated animals, and it's it's really crazy. It's crazy.

Speaker 1: 7:14

And you look at some of these younger kids and they can't even look you in the eye when they're talking to you, because they're they're sort of they're so used to digital interaction and not actual human interaction face to face. That's like they don't even know how to interact with people. And again, if we could teach our kids how to do this, if we could protect our kids from becoming these sort of zombies, then they're going to, they're going to dominate the future, they're going to be kings of the future, and so it's sort of very it's blackpilling, but it's also whitepilling at the same time, because you know, it's kind of scary out there. Like, let's be honest, you go out into public and it's not. It's kind of frightening, but then at the same time it's sort of whitepilling. It's like, wow, if I just teach my kids how to read, how to write, how to communicate, how to look someone in the eye when they're talking to them. They're going to be miles and miles ahead and they're going to stand out and they'll be kings in the future. So that part of it is whitepilling and I think that the other part of this.

Speaker 1: 8:19

So you know I've been thinking on this stuff and the other thing that I said is you know we're going to win through households, through networks and through pulpits over time. You know there's few people that want to actually put in the work, but those who do put in the work, you know, those of us who are going to disciple our children, are going to teach them to read, write, to communicate, to fear and love the Lord. You know we're going to win over the long term, but it's going to take a long time. It's not going to be like a one year thing, a few months, a few weeks, like you have to be willing. You have to put in the work day in and day out and unfortunately, most people want quick and easy solutions. You know, getting up off the couch to cast a vote every four years, that's not going to cut it, it's a daily grind. We're going to have to build and we're going to have to disciple our children day in and day out over the long period of time and then we're going to have compounding interest on those efforts. So you know, over time, you know the fruits of our labor are going to pay off more and more and they're going to keep compounding more and more. But you have to put in the work, you have to put in the work day in and day out.

Speaker 1: 9:31

You know, I think there's this fundamental connection in the American Christian psyche between political and spiritual laziness and doomerism. So it's this idea of don't worry, things are going to get worse, but if we just vote for Donald Trump, he's going to fix everything. All we have to do is get off the couch every four years and cast a vote and then go back to the couch and go back to stuffing our pie holes and go back to turning on the NFL and everything will be just fine If we just get Trump back in there. And you know. Then there's the spiritual side of this as well, which is, you know, largely thanks to, you know, darbyism and Schofield and dispensationalism and Zionism that has infected the church like a cancer. It's this idea of don't worry, things are going to get worse, and that's actually a good thing, because it means that Jesus is going to come back soon and he's going to fix everything and therefore I don't have to do anything. Things are getting worse and things are getting bad, and that's actually a good thing, because it means that Christ is going to return soon and we're going to celebrate that and that means that I don't have to do anything.

Speaker 1: 10:38

This type of mindset has been just pervasive in the American Christian psyche and the American church for probably over a century, like since World War II, but it started a lot earlier. And so the reality is, you know, throughout all of Christendom, the reality of what Christians actually believed is that the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit. The power of the Holy Spirit is indwelling in us and we must use that to take action, to build things, to fix things, to bring about the Kingdom of God, and starting in our own hearts, our own homes and our own communities. And that's the reason like we lost that, we lost that truth, and that is the truth. Like really sit and think about this for a minute the same power that took Christ out of that grave is indwelling inside of you, right? That power is tremendous and we let it sit there dormant. We sit on the couch, christian. We sit on the couch with the power of the Holy Spirit dormant inside of us.

Speaker 1: 11:41

It's like a little pilot light that is on on the stove and all you got to do is turn on the gas and that pilot light, will you know, form into a flame and you'll start building and you'll start creating and you'll start conquering. And we're letting it sit there as a pilot light and you know, a pilot light doesn't do much right. You ever open up your stove, look at the pilot light. It's a little tiny pilot light and it's there and it's a source of heat and it's a source of energy. But we have to take action. You got to turn the knob on the stove in order for that pilot light to become a flame that you can cook with right, or heat your home with, or whatever it is right.

Speaker 1: 12:19

And so you know that's that's the part that Christians have not been doing for really a century now, and that's the part that we have to reawaken and we have to say listen, you got to remember we are here to glorify God, we are here to take dominion, we are here to disciple the nations. And you know, we sort of forgot our mission. Right, we have. We have one mission. Christ gave us one mission. You know, go forth and disciple the nations.

Speaker 1: 12:45

And we're saying, no, I'd rather sit on the couch, I'd rather you know stuff, my piehole I'd rather watch the NFL. I go to church on Sunday. So that makes me a good Christian and I don't really have to do anything else because Christ is going to come back soon and he's going to fix everything. He'll he'll solve all the problems and he'll he'll clean up this mess. And I don't have to do anything. As long as I don't have to do anything, because that would require work, I don't want to have to do something. I don't want to have to get up off the couch. I don't want to have to have some sort of discipline or some sort of take, some sort of action. No, I just want to sit here and I want to let. Either I want to cast my vote and let Donald Trump solve things, or I want to. I want to sit here and watch things get worse and worse and watch my culture and my country and my community and my family disintegrate. And that's all good, because it means Christ is coming back soon.

Speaker 1: 13:31

This is, this is the toxic cancer of dispensational Zionism, and eschatology really does matter. It really does matter. And so this this is, you know, part of the fundamentals is fixing that and letting people understand that this, this theology, this eschatology that is, you know, 150 years old, that was fully funded and subverted by Zionists into the American church, into the American psyche, is it needs to be destroyed, and it needs to. We need to understand where it came from and and why, why it was allowed to be sort of subverted into the American mind and the American church. And now we're seeing why. Because, you know, israel is committing a genocide and American Christians are standing by and cheering it on right and are not saying anything about it. You know they're killing children and obliterating communities and nobody, nobody, bats an eye.

Speaker 1: 14:26

Israel can do whatever they want because and that's because of this dual covenant, you know dispensational Zionism that has infected the church like a cancer and it what it leads to is this mindset of this is good. Bad things are happening and they're going to get worse and that means the Christ is coming back soon and therefore I don't have to do anything. You know, that's what we like about it most is we're lazy. Yeah, we don't want to do anything, and I have a lot of empathy for people who still believe this because, you know, at one point, when I was growing up, this is what I believe too. This is all I ever knew. You know, I call it left behind eschatology. I read all the left behind books, the left behind books, the series for kids. I watched the movies. I mean, I was really into it, I was. They had like a form, an online form, and I was in there and I was really into this and I believed it.

Speaker 1: 15:14

And then you actually read your Bible and then you learn the history of of Schofield and Darby, and of of dispensationalism, and of the Jesuits, who came up with this concept of of futurism and millennialism in general in order to fight back against the Protestants that were saying that the Pope was anti-Christ and that the Roman Catholic Church was anti-Christ Like that's where it originally started. And then the Zionists picked up on this and they they found Schofield and they funded him and you know, the Schofield Reference Bible was all of a sudden in the hands of all the troops coming back and every family in America, and this is how this becomes pervasive throughout the American Church and throughout the American Christian psyche, and but it's starting to disintegrate. It started thanks to the internet and thanks to God's remnant. You know who has preserved the truth of God's word, which is that God does not have two people. He has one people. We, as Christians, are the chosen people. The Bible is so clear about that. God does not have some special side plan for a specific ethnic group. Okay, there has always been one people of God and it has nothing to do with ethnicity. Okay, it has to do with our faith in Jesus Christ, whether you're there is no Jew or Greek. All right, it doesn't matter if you're Jew or Gentile. You have faith in Jesus Christ. You are the chosen people. Okay, there is no separate side deal that God has with a specific ethnic group. Bible does not say anything about that.

Speaker 1: 16:57

And the people that take scripture and twist it in order to sort of back that false, heretical claim that did not exist for the past 2000 years, up until about 150 years ago, they're deceived and they're misled, and we have to speak this truth boldly, and we have to. We have to also, you know, be empathetic, because you have to keep in mind that some of us, like myself, like I just said, I was raised in this and this is what I believed until I actually read my Bible. You know, and a lot of people, that's the biggest problem with Christians is they're not reading their Bibles. They're just taking what their pastor says and that's what they believe and this is how they treat everything. They're taking what, you know, the news anchorman says and that's what they believe.

Speaker 1: 17:43

Because it's a fundamental culture of laziness. That's ultimately what it is. We don't want to take the time to read our Bibles and see what the God's word actually says. You know, we just want to have my pastor tell me what I'm supposed to believe and what I'm supposed to think about the Jews and about Israel and about everything else. And that's what I believe and I'm going to be totally zealous about those beliefs that I didn't form myself, someone else foreign for me in my head, because I'm too lazy to read the Bible and see what God's word actually says.

Speaker 1: 18:12

And so you know, this is a big part of the problem. It's sort of echoing in every facet of our spiritual life, of culture, of society, is this fundamental laziness and just this lazy entitlement of not wanting to build things, not wanting to actually put in work, not wanting to take care of ourselves, not wanting to disciple our children, not wanting to build our own community, not wanting to build anything, and until we get over that hump, like that is, that is the big hump. It's. You know we're not going to go anywhere, but you know so we have this remnant of people that certainly aren't doing that and aren't lazy and are putting in the work and are putting in the effort and are building things, and we need to uplift and support those people because they are. They are few and far between and those are the people that are going to inherit the future.

Speaker 1: 19:05

You know again those, those of us who are discipling our children, those of us who are building infrastructure, building businesses, building, you know, our communities, building up our churches, like the future is ours. We just got to. We got to be consistent. We got to keep going day in and day out and as society continues to sort of crumble into ash the existing society, we're building up the infrastructure and we're building up the networks and we're building up the communities and we're building up our families to be strong and resilient over the long term. And this is something that I hope. I hope that we can wake more people up to, but I can't do it for you, right?

Speaker 1: 19:45

That's the thing is that I can't put in the work of discipling your children for you. I can give you some tips on how I'm doing it myself with my own family. I can't build a business for you. I can, you know, give you some tips and I can give you. In our case, we're providing infrastructure, like you know GAB Pay and the GAB Marketplace and GAB itself for distribution and for customer support and for marketing and for advertising. Like, I can give you the tools, but I can't put in the work for you. I can't build the business for you. I can give you the tools and say, hey, you know, I read this book or I've been studying this with my children and I've been using this for homeschooling or whatever, but I can't do it for you.

Speaker 1: 20:26

So you have to put in the work, you know, and we have to man up and we have to put in the work. It's going to take effort, it's going to take work. You know we're in hard times right now, but those hard times create hard men and we need more hard men and hard women to step up to the plate and put in the work and just do the grind for decades. That's what it's going to take. It's you know again, this is not a thing that's going to take a year or two. You got to be willing and able to make sacrifices and to put in the work and to grind it out year in and year out and live all of your life for all of Christ and disciple your children and build your business and build up your local community and just grind right.

Speaker 1: 21:18

And I think that's another part of the problem here is that people just do not. They don't want to put in the work, they absolutely don't want to put in the work, and we have to change that. We have to change that mindset, we have to change that culture or we're not going to get anywhere, because you know the remnant that is building again. We're going to inherit the future. I'm incredibly bullish and incredibly white-billed on that.

Speaker 1: 21:46

But you know, the thing that I sort of question day to day now is how do I inspire more people to see this? Because so many people are just again in a zombified stupor, including many Christians, and it breaks my heart because there's so much potential. I see so much wasted potential and wasted time and it's sad. It's really sad because a lot of these people are intelligent, they're smart and, most importantly, they're indwelled by the Holy Spirit and they're just sitting there letting that flame flicker and not start in the stove up and get into work. And so I'm bullish about the future, but we got to put in the effort.

Speaker 1: 22:29

Guys Got to put in the work. It's not just going to come about on its own and you got to start today, we got to start now and it's got to start in your own heart first. You know you can't expect other people you got to lead by example. You can't expect other people to um to start putting in the work unless they see you putting in the work. And so that's, you know, the biggest.

Speaker 1: 22:51

The biggest thing that we can do in terms of inspiration and inspiring people to to put in the work and to start building things and discipling their kids and really um spending the time that's needed to to build the future here and build a parallel Christian society, is you have to lead by example. And so people should look at your life and they should look at your family and they should say I want to mirror that, I want to mimic that? Um, I can do that too. All right, that is, that is the best form you know, more so than podcasts or talking or posting online. That's like when you're actually living out these things.

Speaker 1: 23:27

People are going to notice, they're going to pay attention when your kids, when they interact with your kids and they're well they're, they're intelligent and they can hold the conversation and they're well behaved, and all of these things People will notice and you know you have to point them back to Christ as the core, uh, of of why these things are the way. They are right, because the, the power of the Holy spirit and our faith in Christ, is what allows us, gives us the ability to disciple our children and to build things and to persevere, and so that is the future that we have to be building towards. So thank you, guys, for tuning in. Uh, remember to subscribe to this and share it with a friend and speak freely. Christ is King.
