I know I've hinted at this, but I don't think I've ever officially told you guys that I'm a born again virgin. Like, I tried my darnest to wait. That got taken from me. So, I literally just went and slept with three different guys within that 2-day time period. I'm waiting till marriage again.
>> If you've been wondering what the heck happened to Christian women, you're not alone. And the data proves you right. The bar for what defines a Christian woman has never been lower. Men are endlessly corrected and held to lofty standards. But if you're a woman, you can essentially get away with anything so long as you have a Bible verse in your bio. Yet more and more traditional Christians are being painted as misogynists and radical extremists. But why is this happening? In this video, we're going to follow the data, the incentives, the institutions, and the history to figure out how feminism infiltrated the Christian world. Why intelligence agencies supported this and what we can do about it before true Christianity becomes unrecognizable. Because one thing is certain, this is a crisis. And this is by far the most important video I've ever made on this channel. This is why I bring to you the downfall of Christian women. I'll say the quiet part that nobody wants to admit. While all of society, including men, are in dire straits. According to the data, the ideological shift is overwhelmingly on the female side, not the male side.
>> We know what the fundamental duties are of men. But no one wants to define what that is for women. Young men are checking out. They're not getting married. And that's not good for our country. That's not good for our birth rate. That's not good for our society.
>> But the reason for that is not what you think. Here's where it gets interesting and honestly a little bit strange because the popular narrative says that Christianity is being radicalized and Christian men are all right-wing extremists. But there's a catch-22 that I'm about to expose to you. The story you always hear is that online figures are radicalizing young men, turning them into misogynists and that traditional values are oppressive and toxic. The reality is that much of what passes today is Christianity is simply feminized. And that's why any sort of criticism gets instantly labeled as toxic or uncharitable. This is one of the biggest problems in Protestant churches is that there's lots and lots of women who want to leverage their faith to buy a new reputation. They will move into kind of weaker churches where they can keep the progressive attitudes. And what they're really looking for is not being judged. I don't want to be judged. I don't want to be judged. I don't want to be judged.
>> And I don't deal well with judgment. I'm a very rebellious person when it comes up to judgment. And >> so a religion that is about repentance and high standards gets turned into a virtue signaling competition on who can be the least critical. The historical data is beyond obvious. Christian teaching on women was clear, structured, and unapologetic. It emphasized modesty, distinct roles within the family, and a visible separation from the moral assumptions of the surrounding cultures. Now, compare that to the present. Today, it's increasingly common to find self-identified Christian women who affirm abortion, support skittles relationships, and adopt modern views on gender and sexuality. And this is anecdotal. According to Pew Research, among Christians aged 18 to 29, 61% of women say abortion should be legal. They are around twice as likely to say Skittles behavior should be accepted. And on Transformers issues, the gap is even wider. The truth that nobody talks about is that none of this is some random accident of chance or the natural progression of life. But over the last 60 years, there's been a deliberate plan to capture and subvert Christian institutions that hold even remotely traditional views. So, if the narrative is that online Christian men are being radicalized, why does the paper trail and the data say the opposite? Well, there's only one reason, and that's because there is an agenda. And if they didn't want us to know that, they wouldn't be telling us to our faces. The Loose Foundation, which I'll get to more on in a bit, funded Columbia University's Center for Democracy, Toleration, and Religion, a progressive initiative explicitly aimed at injecting Skittles ideology, feminism, and progressive values into traditional Christian institutions through clergy and scholarships to make him more quote unquote tolerant and compliant with modern secularism. 33 years in ministry, he is now officially ordained and says he's the first openly gay pastor in the Presbyterian Church in Greater Columbus.
>> It's okay to be who you are and it's to be inclusive and it's to be loving and it's to be missional.
>> There's many NOS's and private corporate donors in fact who allocate large portions of their budget towards the infiltration of various churches around the country especially the you've seen mega churches right Protestant mega churches. Forom University ran by the Jesuits hosted the 2023 outreach LGBTQ ministry conference where panels promoted the idea of female and Skittles clergy reinterpreting the Bible to cosign Skittles activities and how the church should better affirm Skittles Catholic.
>> So I'll explain how this is done. They call it clergy training, right? And so what they'll do is they'll come in and say, "Hey, look, we want to train your clergy for the problems of modernity." You know, we'll have professional psychologists come in. They'll assist with the training and this and that. And what it actually does is it erodes the system over time.
>> So-called theologians like Natalia and Peratory Lee publicly celebrate young women's passions for quote unquote women's equality in the church and praise activism that confronts maleled hierarchy.
>> Feminist theologians use a methodology that involves deconstructing problematic issues, searching the tradition for alternatives, and reconstructing those in a liberative key utilizing the social sciences and other disciplines and then building back up. These are the same people and the same foundations that are receiving millions and millions of dollars from institutional hierarchy.
>> Lots of things in the tradition that we have to say, you know, it's that it's not good news and we have to find a coherent way. I mean, I think that's a that's a theme in all of my courses. The church just changed. That's okay because it's the trad the trades. They both share a pure version of Catholicism that I don't think is tenable long term. We have to have that complicated view. I I don't see another way out of that. And feminism is just one one way.
>> It's good for women to have the right to vote, the right to work. I think that Catholics and Christians can take some kind of form of feminism that seeks that equality. And there's there's nothing wrong with that.
>> And if you think this is something recent, this is nothing new. And we'll get to that. But the fact is these videos take weeks to produce each. and I'm currently a one-man team, but luckily the supporters over at buy me a coffee.com/longsof faith help make these videos possible. So, if you like these videos, please consider donating over there. And something new that I'm doing is supporters at $50 a month plus are credited as producers with real input on future topics. Back to the plot. Take Elizabeth Stanton, a leading feminist funded by the Rockefellers in the 19th century, expressed the desire to quote unquote move beyond traditional Christianity into something different. Stanton assembled a revising committee to according to her correct biblical interpretation viewed as biased against women coming up with their own version called the women's bible where the forward explicitly discusses how Christianity is too powerful of a structure and they can't get rid of it so instead they will have to change it from within. In the forward she literally says quote unquote the bible and the church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation. Sarah Bessie, another so-called Christian feminist and author of Jesus Feminist, explicitly states that quote unquote patriarchy is not God's dream for humanity. So, the stated goal is obviously not to try to get rid of traditional Christians. It's simply to divide it enough to where they won't be a threat to national security and global interests. Now, if you don't believe that any of this is real and this is all just a conspiracy, well, we don't have to look far to see the effects of this pop Christianity everywhere. Just look at two of the most popular so-called Christian female influencers promoting modest clothing under Three Nails clothing to millions of followers.
>> We are always looking for pieces that feel like us, something we can move in, feel confident in, and still reflect our values. That's why we've been loving the new collection from Three Nails. It's active wear that's modest, comfortable, and made for real movement. Whether it's a morning workout or just showing up with intention, these pieces were built to support you in it. Three Nails is all about faith forward living and this collection speaks to all who carry strength with softness and purpose in everything they do. Check out the new drop from Three Nails.
Even the comments raise their eyebrows. This looks like any other gym clothing. Seems like a comedy skit. One points out the seriousness of invoking Christ's crucifixion so casually. Now, the problem goes much deeper. And the crazy part is is that the title Girls Gone Bible literally directly borrows from pornography culture, applying it to scripture. Like how does anyone think that this is appropriate?
>> Following the Lord, like following God is not easy. It's like it's not easy. It's countercultural.
>> So we have a lot of very modest pieces. You know, even the swimwear that we have is very modest.
>> What is holy is repackaged for attention. Christianity becomes internal, claiming to be about the heart while the outward life stays worldly and is separated.
>> And we always say, come as you are. Just don't stay that way. let Jesus invade your life and change everything.
>> But Christ warns, by their fruit you shall know them and that our heart is not separate from the rest of our body.
>> Because you see a trend and a lot of men who have been traditional their whole lives and have now worked and achieved some degree of success, they say, "Yeah, but how do I know that the women who are closer to my age who now say that they want to be a stay-at-home wife or a mom or they want a more traditional relationship when they live their whole life progressively in a feminist way? How do I know that they're being genuine?" And so a lot of guys aren't willing to take that risk and they're checking out.
>> We see the same pattern online with two sides of the same coin. On one you have modern hoe culture trying to rebrand itself as Christianity. And on the other hand, you have performative tradwives.
>> And as a woman, I want a strong man who is a protector and a provider that will go to war if need be, that will protect me, protect my family, make money. I see that as being actually masculine. That's like the man that I grew up with, my dad. But what we're seeing now is these young men who look at Andrew Tate and the Tate brothers, they're like, "Oh, great. That's a manly man."
>> Yeah. Well, I mean, it's just more feminist nonsense ultimately. And the covert feminism in society is big, especially on the conservative side. So, here's here's what happens, right? Women need to have feminine virtues, for men to be pursuing masculine virtues. For you to say things like, "What I want is for men to protect me and I want men to make money." Well, that's great. What that ends up doing is it gives you a set of privilege in society. What do men get? What do men get for doing that for you? What are we getting from women for doing that? Are we getting chased virgins on our wedding night? No, we're not getting chased virgins on our wedding night. Are we getting women of great virtue? No, we're not getting women of great virtue. The idea of courtly love is supposed to be done for women of great virtue. Where are they? Well, they're nowhere. When female conservative influencers say this, it's actually a form of covert feminism. They're saying, "I want privilege in society." But what is it women are giving to men to get it? What?
>> These so-called traditional conservative Christian women come out on television in a face full of makeup and demand traditional values from a man while wanting to keep modern values for themselves whenever it feels convenient. And if you want to see how outsiders of Christianity see this type of apparent hypocrisy, look no further.
>> When you sit here and you go, "You'll be more fulfilled doing this and spend all your time doing that." We would love for you to leave the public eye and go focus on what makes you fulfilled. Okay? Even figures that brand themselves as traditional end up rewriting history like Llaya Rose who claims that stay-at-home motherhood is modern.
>> A man is provider, woman is a stay at home mom. That's a modern idea. That is not a traditional idea, my friends.
>> While simultaneously getting involved in scandals regarding sexualizing Catholic priests on her podcast,
>> Father Mike Schmidz,
>> I showed him to a girlfriend who's not Catholic. She's like, when's mass? But even the very people who are supposed to be on our team as so-called conservative further platform and amplify this trend. Take the quintessential example of Ner and Only Fans model who claims she converted to Christianity while still promoting immodest content and selling online courses criticized as theologically heretical. When called out by Orthodox Christians online, she went into defense mode accusing everybody critical of her of being
>> pheriseical. If it was the case really that they were converting because they had made a mess of their life and they were sorry about it. You'd never hear from them again.
>> Or you would hear one last you would just hear I'm really sorry and in humility and repentance I'm going to go take some time with the church in my church to get my together and maybe they come back in 5 years. Great. And then you get the welcome you know but you don't go well I I went and got baptized at heresychurch.com right and now I'm going to tell you how to be the right kind of Christian. Now compare this to parallel examples we have of Orthodox female saints who were also once former prostitutes like Mary of Egypt where after her reversion she did decades of fasting, isolation in the desert, radical transformation. Only then was she recognized for her holiness. And the point isn't that everybody's called to such extreme aesthetic struggles. But the difference is black on white. While the church always welcomes sinners, that doesn't mean that they get an instant platform, instant authority, instant influence. For many young women, these examples become their spiritual formation. Not the church fathers, not the saints, and not liturgy. The real question is, how did these ideas spread so effectively even within Christianity itself? The Easter Bonnet Rebellion. One of the most blatant public attacks on traditional Christian practice came in 1969 with the Easter Bonnet Rebellion. You'll see why this came about in a second. But before we get into this insane example of subversion, a word from this video sponsor. If we're serious about resisting the degeneracy of our culture, we can't fight it while we're compromised ourselves. And the truth is, no program on earth will quit for you. You actually have to want it. But if you are ready to take the next real steps, the Freedom Community could be what you need. Normally, it's $30 a month, but right now, you can get access to it for $15 a month using the code lungs of faith, all lowercase, just the same way it is here on the screen. Freedom Community isn't just another group. You get a safe space to connect with other men striving for freedom. And many people say it's the accountability and support that make the biggest difference for them. You don't have to fight alone anymore. The Freedom Community is a safe place to connect, receive community support, take online courses, and join exclusive quarterly calls with industry experts. So, scan the QR code or go to freedomgroup.co. Links in the description. Back to the plot. On Easter Sunday, the National Organization for Women organized a coordinated protest called the National Unveiling. They urged women across America to enter churches without head coverings and to attempt to receive communion from their priest. Deliberately defying canon law and the long-standing Christian practice rooted in 1 Corinthians 11, where women veiled as a sign of submission, modesty, and order. Feminists wore flashy Easter bonnets as a symbol of rebellion, then removed them inside churches to protest what they called quote unquote outmoded and discriminatory rule. They framed head coverings as oppressive patriarchy rather than biblical obedience. This wasn't spontaneous, though. The feminist movement heavily supported by elite funding including Rockefeller linked networks and progressive foundations turned a visible symbol of Christian gender order into a target. Churches largely folded and within a few years the practice of women veiling in worship largely disappeared from mainstream Catholicism and Protestantism and was obscured from Catholic canon law. But it most importantly illustrated something much darker that none of this was grassroots. Here's where all of this gets interesting and much more clear because this didn't happen by accident. Christianity didn't drift into progressivism overnight. It was steered there through deliberate incentives, elite social engineering, and lots of money throughout the 20th century. Now, before we get to that, we need to understand something called ecumenism. There are generally understood to be two types. Real historical ecumenism, which means actual dialogue without sacrificing, changing or watering down the core truth of the orthodox faith. And the goal in that is unity in truth, not unity at any cost. And two, geopolitical ecumenism. It uses the nice sounding word unity as a tool to control and change the churches, tossing truth and doctrine out the window for a nice sounding unity. And it stops sounding so nice once we look into where exactly it originated. Here's how it actually works. Step one, they create big organizations like the World Council of Churches that bring lots of different churches together under one roof. Step two, they offer money, prestige, and influence. Seminaries, pastors, and leaders who go along with the program get grand fancy professorships, media attention, and powerful friends. Step three, they shift the main goal. Instead of quote unquote stay faithful to historic Christianity, the new goal becomes visible unity, social justice, climate change, inclusivity, breaking down barriers, progressive agendas, and serving the world. Step four, they slowly pressure everyone to compromise by tightening the screws. So, how did this mechanism actually play out in history?
>> Riverside. It's 10th of September 1930 and then biggest bell in America starts journey to Laura Spelman Rockefeller Carolon a top picturesque Riverside Memorial Church above the Hudson on Manhattan Island. The Rockefellers poured millions of dollars into the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches, Union Theological Seminary, and Riverside Cathedral, among many other different institutions to birth a new soft social gospel, new Christianity that prioritized global unity. Interfaith dialogue, globalist agendas, and left-leaning causes over hard doctrine and world rejection. The amount of funding for this stuff from big institutions will blow your mind. Arcus Foundation based out of New York and Cambridge has poured millions into Skittles religious inclusion, faith leader training, and countering conservative religious narratives, often advancing acceptance efforts inside Christianity. $3 million to Kalamazoo College, Michigan for its faith linked social justice center, $15 million towards global transgender advocacy, and $120,000 to religion youth service, a US media influencing and religious reporting institution. Then you have the Ford Foundation, a massive global grant maker with $732 million in annual giving in 2023 and $768 million total grants across 2,288 grants in 2024, channeling significant resources into so-called gender justice, reproductive rights, and progressive Christian organizing. In 2024, they gave $94.3 million plus $36.3 million towards gender justice initiative, many intersecting with faith leaders on so-called reproductive rights. Then you have Open Society Foundations, having spent $24.2 billion globally since 1993 with $436 million in annual expenditures in 2023. It funds Skittles advocacy intersecting with faith communities and progressive religious actors, directs millions of dollars into women of color- led and faithrooted reproductive justice activism, including $5 million to 84 so-called grassroots groups in a recent cycle. The Global Fund for Women. Since 1987, it has moved nearly one quarter of a billion dollars in grants to over 5,000 so-called grassroots feminist organizations, including 1,384 grants totaling support for sexual and so-called reproductive health rights to 832 groups. It has seated women's funds globally around $8.3 million to 35 funds intersecting heavily with faith centers. Now, I could literally go on for hours and hours listing all of them, but the key takeaway is this: hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into efforts that promote progressive reinterpretations of Christianity and traditional faith through inclusion, reproductive justice, and gender equity programming. And some people still have the gall to say that there's no such thing as a global elite network trying to subvert traditional Christianity. The WCC was explicitly designed as an ecumenist globalist project. Its own constitution calls churches to pursue quote visible unity in one faith and one eucharistic fellowship through witness and service to the world. Convenient, isn't it? Meanwhile, the billionaire Henry Loose, skull and bones member, Yale class of 1920, founder of Time and Life magazines, and the man who literally coined the phrase the American century in his famous 1941 life editorial piece, used his LSE foundation to systematically flood seminaries and universities with progressive theology, including feminism. Evangelical Protestant institutions were particularly of interest because they were highly organized, influential, and relatively less tied to entrenched hierarchies, making them the easiest asset to shape. In that 1941 manifesto, Loose declared that the 20th century must be to a significant degree an American century. He meant a century in which American progressive democratic internationalism would shape the world, including its religious landscape. We see this illustrated in all of the wars and all of the politics that the US decided to get itself involved with in the late 20th century. The foundation's own programs made this concrete. The Henry Arloo's professorship program is the most notable, which launched in 1968, and it installed 71 professorships at 56 universities across the United States. These endowed chairs were explicitly created to quote unquote encourage academic experimentation and creativity and to support quote unquote innovative interdisciplinary teaching and learning. In practice rewarding scholars who advanced religious pluralism, democratic internationalism in a more adaptive, less dogmatic faith, particularly within evangelical seminaries and Protestant schools. They didn't stop at individual chairs. The foundation also ran the Henry Loose III fellows in theology program from 1993 to 2018 which funded 160 faculty members in theological schools for research that strengthened quote unquote the links among theological research churches and wider public. Even more targeted, the LES Foundation gave a major grant to Columbia University to establish the Center for the Study of Democracy, Toleration, and Religion, CDTR. Founded in 2006 through the Henry RLES Initiative on Religion and International Affairs, the cent's stated mission is to conduct research and training on quote the interfaces of and tensions between religion, toleration, and democracy in the world. In plain English, it exists to examine how traditional religions, especially flexible Protestant denominations, can be made more compatible with modern democratic pluralism and toleration, providing a mechanism for wedging progressive values, including feminist and egalitarian interpretations of scripture and authority into historic faiths, specifically the traditional faith, the ones that they see as the biggest threat to the progressive agenda, which would be orthodoxy, traditional Catholicism, some forms of Protestantism, Islam, things like this. the official LSE foundation description of its religion and theology program today. Quote, "We seek to deepen public knowledge of religion and to draw on the wisdom of faith traditions to advanced a shared understanding. This goes handinhand with the same networks and founders as the ones who founded the Abrahamic faith center which is the one that has a Catholic church next to an Islamic mosque next to I believe a synagogue if I'm not mistaken. These people do not care about your personal beliefs. That's one thing I want to get across here. They do not care what god you believe in or what you worship or what values you hold dear. These people are primarily atheists for the most part. They just see this as a tool for control. So next time you get labeled as a conspiracy theorist for saying that something has changed with the Christian women, you can send them this video. Because anyone with a brain cell can see clearly this was not neutral scholarship. It was strategic placement of handpicked academics who would reward and amplify the very ideas that softened hard doctrine elevated pluralism over exclusivity and aligned Christianity particularly evangelical Protestantism with the American century vision of a democratic internationalism and the CIA was heavily involved in the game. Declassified documents from the Cold War era doctrinal warfare program detailed in David Wimhof's research reveal a coordinated effort involving the State Department, Defense Department, Henry Luc's media empire and CIA operatives. Their mission was to infiltrate universities, newspapers, and theological circles to influence doctrine. They pushed Americanism into Protestant churches and beyond using psychological operations, conferences, and funding to reshape morality and theology. The CIA quote from David Wimhof's book, Noting the Doctrinal Warfare Program, CD Jackson's program, together with Henry Lu's Foundation. Quote, "The Department of State was responsible for increasing doctrinal materials in the Voice of America's broadcast, particularly for publicizing and promoting interests of doctrinal and theological matters." Quote, "The Department of State was responsible for increasing doctrinal materials in Voice of America broadcasts, particularly for publicizing and promoting interest of doctrinal and theological matters. The Department of Defenses during the Cold War was responsible for providing officers and enlisted personnel in service schools and units with a doctrinal and theological background. Speeches, technical magazines, and others would be involved in this corporate doctrinal aspect. The CIA's responsibility was set forth in an annex called annexb, a top secret document that was later declassified in 2013. The CIA stated, quote, "Infiltrate individuals into foreign associations with theological potential, doctrinal potential, including newspapers, universities, etc. to influence their output when appropriate. Stimulate through non-attributable means. Conferences and means of public forums matters of doctrinal issue. Academic forms, academic gatherings, conferences interfere with promotion and distribution of hostile doctrinal theology that is hostile to the agenda of Americanameanism. That's why now when you look around you at the evangelical landscape, you primarily see feminism, Zionism, the prosperity gospel, and things like this. A mere hollow shell of what Christianity truly is. So where does this leave us now? Discipline is now labeled as phariseaical. Hard fasting, traditional gender roles and rejection of the world gets mocked as legalism. Meanwhile, a soft adaptive faith, heavy on empathy, light on demands gets rewarded with platforms, funding, and cultural approval. Popes can support radical reforms. Vatican 2 reshaped centuries of tradition. Archbishops and megaurch scandals make headlines. And entire institutions bend under pressure. But there's a massive divide. Young men sense the fraud and a lot of them are fleeing towards orthodoxy and more rigorous discipline.
>> It's been an amazing change in the last 10 years or so since co since 2020 they've just come out in droves is accelerating snowball.
>> Young women on the other hand shaped by these incentives often stay and split off to liberal sects which will reinforce their way of life and remake the faith in the image of the surrounding culture.
>> Women's day. Who's excited to be here? Coffee.
>> Coffee. Happy lovers.
>> What should scare us isn't that people sin. That's always going to happen. That's always happened. And in fact, it's when we become blind to that. That's when we become Pharisees. It's that the Christian message itself is being softened and repackaged and sold as something nice and inclusive. Christ ate with sinners, but he offered them repentance. Not forced, but offered. Christ's gift to the world is exactly that. It is a gift, and it is the Orthodox Church. This is why orthodoxy stands structurally resistant to all of these problems. Without a centralized pope, the church functions cenotally like Acts 15 in the Bible shows. Even if some clergy or even bishops or communities are compromised, the corruption cannot ripple through the entire faith. That decentralized government preserves truth, protects the sacraments, and keeps holiness alive. We must reject lies. The fake Christianity that prioritizes cultural approval over God. True Christianity is not a brand or content or some sort of identity or shirt that you put on to make yourself feel better. It's sacrifice, discipline, humility, and love that never compromises truth. Look to the saints in the synax area and of the Orthodox Church. They are the examples to follow. Mary, the mother of God, radical obedience, St. Mary of Egypt, total transformation and rejection of the world. The church fathers taught men and women virtue, modesty, and piety, not applause and attention in vain glory. St. John chrysism said lasting beauty is in virtue not in the body. St. Basil and St. John Cassian say that living in virtue changes more than words ever could. And one of my favorites St. Sarapimarov says that acquire the Holy Spirit and thousands around you will be converted. Orthodoxy is a lived faith. It's not a philosophical system or merely a set of propositions that we can abstract our way to God from. Step into an Orthodox church and it's like returning to the old world. This is war for the soul and for the church and we fight with every ounce of truth and courage. The only hopeful future for America is an orthodox America in an orthodox world. Until next time, this is Lungs of Faith. And as always, don't negotiate with terrorists.
>> They want to count me out. Next time number the giant slumber. They want to keep me down. Oh my.
