I’ve had some version of this conversation several times over the past year or so.
“Hey, what do you think about this:
the conspiracy with the Jews,
the moon thing,
Erika Kirk,
Nephilim, etc.?”
Me:
“Can I ask you a question first?”
Them:
“Sure.”
Me:
“What’s your approach to life insurance?
Are you going whole life or term?”
Them:
“What does that have to do with this?”
Me:
“Humor me.”
Them:
“I honestly haven’t thought about that.”
Me:
“That’s exactly my point.
You should be thinking about things like that. You should be thinking about how to secure your family if you die. You should be thinking about wealth transfer. There are a lot of real responsibilities that demand clear thought: your kids’ education, the culture of your home, the well-being of your wife, vocational and skill development, long-term stability.
There’s a lot we should be thinking about.
And yet many of us haven’t done that thinking on the things that actually matter most to our immediate, God-given responsibilities. Instead, we’ve spent a great deal of time consuming and speculating about things that, in comparison, matter very little.”
Most don’t need more information about speculative threats.
They need tighter focus on immediate responsibilities.
There’s good and necessary work to get done.
