Hamilton: God has called us to be his ambassadors even in this dark moment

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, delivering people.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Out of the bondage of mainstream media and the philosophies of this world.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: God has called you and me to be his ambassadors, even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.

Welcome to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And now, the, Hamilton Corner.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton iii, joined by the corner contingent right across from me, our friendly neighborhood woodaholic. Still sapping tall stacks, pun intended. You get that sapping tall stacks with a single chainsaw. Mr. Marty Sparks, ladies and gentlemen, is behind the board once again. And in the screening room, producer extraordinaire, often imitated, never duplicated. The real J. Mac is in studio, and we're ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.

At this very moment, many of you are making your transition from part time jobs

At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income, to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family, allowing his view to govern our engagement. While we are still in the middle of a government shutdown and all kinds of things are going on, I certainly, my heart goes out to those federal employees who are trying to proceed without pay. You know, there are some, critical services that are still continuing, but there are some federal employees who are navigating the shutdown now. They will be paid whenever, the government reopens their back pay. But, you know, it's kind of challenging to do so in the meantime, and I pray that the eyes of the people in our country will open sufficiently to help us to see, the insanity of what's happening. I've explained before, this is nothing more than an effort to, to expand Obamacare subsidies as a primary measure and to make those enhanced subsidies permanent, including funding health, care insurance coverage for illegal aliens through federal taxpayer dollars, saying while those things are very, very, very important, they're not more important for how we conduct ourselves in our homes. What goes on in your house is more important than what goes on in the White House. What goes on in your house is more important than what's going on in the Capitol Hill. Because we are directly responsible for what we do with the time and the space that God has given us. And we will never be able to out politic or out vote deficiencies that abound in the home. The fundamental building block of every society is the family. The fundamental building block of the church is a family. We must, we must welcome the Lord to transform us in our homes. As a matter of first priority. I was talking to a brother this week, you know, who's a youth pastor, and we were having a conversation about the fact that there's no way you can, pastor away parental neglect. You can't care about the children. Well, of course you can. But your care for the children is not going to undo what does or does not happen at home. That is just the, truth. It's just the truth. If we are going to be a great nation, enduringly, the greatness of our nation will be determined by what goes on inside of our home. So as you are making your transition, guys, we. I'm saying we because I'm included in this too. We have to make that transition with intentionality. We have to resolve it in our hearts. That disciple making is not just a wonderful platitude, it's not just a nice saying to put on, you know, a Hobby Lobby purchased coffee mug cheese. But it's something that we commit our lives to because we understand the value of being redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. To the word of God, we go.

Matthew, chapter 19. Jesus is being questioned about marriage

Matthew, chapter 19. This, is going to really undergird the entirety of our conversation during the program today. In Matthew 19, Jesus is being questioned about marriage. And he responds by referring both through Genesis chapters one and two, as authoritative and applicable to the question. As he answers the question, he roots the answer in the creation account. In Matthew 19, Pharisees were questioning Jesus, and he answers them in, verse 4, Matthew 19, 4. And he answered and said, have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female? That's from Genesis 1:27, y'. All. And said, for this reason shall a man leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two. So they are no longer two. But what but one flesh? What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate. I know President Trump's campaign moniker and movement was maga Make America Great Again. But I have to tell you, marriage needs to be made great. There's a push even amongst Republicans for things like ivf, you know, in vitro fertilization. We have lots of people that saying, yes, we need more babies, we need more children. Can I tell you something, we need more families if we have more babies that are produced. But these babies are being intentionally deprived of a father or mother, intentionally deprived from an environment where the child is being reared in a secured context, where they have the security that their father is married to their mother and committed to their mother for life, and that the married father and mother are committed to rearing that child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, who we are falling short of what God calls us to. If we are going to have a consistent ethos as it applies to the sanctity of human life, we have to understand it is not a pro life disposition to create life for the intentional purposes of destroying life. I understand, and my heart breaks for the reality that we live in a fallen world. I understand that we have people who, who we love dearly, who have challenges in reproduction. But the answer is not to celebrate one life that's born when we've intentionally frozen and destroyed hundreds or thousands in the process. Which is why. And you guys know I support President Trump generally, but frankly, he's wrong on ivf, because what we need are, strong families. And if we continue to allow ourselves. You know, I brought this up with when Elon Musk and he's having these children, and I just asked the question, where are these children's mothers? And is Elon Musk committed to their mothers? Of course, you know, you can't be committed to multiple baby mamas. And they say, hey, you saying Elon Musk got baby mamas? Yes, yes. And it shows one of the unraveling. It's like a thread on a, rug where you have a thread that is unraveling and it shows. Ooh. This is not a secure tapestry. It's a thread that reveals the lack of, of thorough consideration and biblical grounding for our societal engagement. If we have people that are saying creating infants through IVF with express purposes of destroying them is a pro life disposition. Now, we've talked with our sisters, Kendra, concerning the way IVF developed natural psycho IV things of that nature. But because the reality is, follow the money, because it's not the most monetarily profitable mechanism, but it is the most God honoring and biblical affirming. To refuse to create life, to destroy, goes back to the question, do we truly believe that life begins at conception? Now, this goes to what I'm explaining to you about marriage. And this, you know, gets people upset sometimes. But the truth is the Bible affirms that marriage is one man committed to one woman for Life. That's what the Bible affirms. You know, I've seen people try to say, hey, what about these examples of Scriptures? And said, guys, you have to understand that there are things that are in the Bible that the Bible is describing. The Lord isn't recommending it, he's not commanding it. The Lord's not saying, look, look at Solomon's marital history, go and do likewise. No, that's not what the Lord's saying at all. In fact, every time you see a violation of God's definition for marriage, it's always utterly problematic. There's a difference between what is described in Scripture and what is prescribed, what God requires of us. There are lots of things that are in Scripture that the Lord is saying that is horrible. You know, for example, in Genesis, I'm sorry, judges, chapter 19, we know a lot about Sodom and Gomorrah, but you realize the same thing happened in Israel. The Lord is not saying, hey, why don't you go and do the same when the Levite comes in town, surround his house and abuses concubine until she dies. And honestly, it is a juvenile conflation. Any objective person who's reading the Scripture, they know God is not saying that's what you should go and do. But it's a juvenile attempt to distance oneself from the authority of Scripture. Would, you know, is prescriptive. I've explained this before. The reason why I pointed out that Jesus quotes some verse quotes from both Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, because anybody who would try to say that the Scripture has contradictory, contradictory accounts of creation in the beginning of the Bible, that's just flat wrong. Genesis chapter one illustrates the six days of creation and an observational reference to the seventh day of rest. Genesis two is an up close examination of the sixth day. They're not contradictory, they're complementary accounts of Scripture. Which is why when Jesus answers the question he roots concerning marriage, he roots that answer in creation. And he specifically quotes from Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 to answer the question. Contrary to modern protestations, the Bible is absolutely clear. Because when the Bible says for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother. Even though God knows very well that Adam and Eve have no natural biological parental ancestry, the Lord says that the prospective candidate for marriage and the potential husband, the future husband, is derived from a parental unit called a father and mother. The same is true for the prospective wife. She derives from a parental unit that consists of a father and mother. Simply put, life and progeny requires fathers and mothers. If that is not explanation enough, the Scripture is explicitly clear when it says for this. When it says for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. The Greek word for man literally means a mature adult male. The scripture then says and be joined to his wife. The Greek term there is gun a which forms the root word for a particular medical discipline in English called gynecology. That in order for one to need a gynecologist, there is a specific type of plumbing that a gynecologist would serve. Simply put, the Lord is affirming that marriage consists of a man and a woman to the exclusion of, of any derivations or deviations from that phenomenon. If we are going to have a society that thrives, there is no such thing as thriving. If we rebel against what God has ordained, there's no such thing. And I don't say what I'm saying about IVF and things of that nature. from a position of callousness, not in the least bit. But if we're going to be people who believe in the sanctity of human life, we have to have a consistency about ourselves. And I'll remind you what I said yesterday. The scripture teaches us that the Lord has ordained his church to be the pillar and ground of truth. We should serve as a means of conscience for our society because the world is going to world. I referred to John Adams quote yet quote yesterday. That Americans with passions unbridled by biblical fidelity and biblical morality will cast off our form of government for something else. Because this experiment of self government is really only has efficacy for the self governed.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Shining light into the darkness.

Abraham Hamilton III: Just because someone is popular doesn't mean wise

This is the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. And I have in studio with me my favorite guest of all time because I needed some help and some reinforcements to deal with some foolishness. I wouldn't necessarily say du jour, but I saw this and I was greatly disturbed by it. So I sent it to my wife. I said, babe, what do you think about this? And we had a spirited banter over the matter. And so I wanted to bring some of that conversation to you and I hope and pray that it's edifying to you. because you can file this under, Just because someone may be popular doesn't mean that they're wise in. Popularity, of course, is a subjective term. You could let me edit my file name. Just because someone may be relatively popular doesn't mean that they are wise.

Jeff Hamilton: Aisha Curry appeared on Alex Cooper's podcast

So let me first introduce my guest properly. My guest is none other than the mother of, our six children, my wife, most importantly, a passionate and committed Christ follower. who the Lord blessed me to meet, blessed me to meet. In the wake of one of the most devastating events in our nation's history. That is Hurricane Katrina. Out of the ashes of a ninth, ward citizen being thrust west to Houston, Texas, the Lord allowed me to meet one Maria Hamilton. Baby, thank you for joining me here in studio.

>> Maria Hamilton: Thank you for having me, babe.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: It is my pleasure. I was just thinking just now how after we got married, your boss was trying to say, is Abe Abe ruining your life?

>> Maria Hamilton: Yep. You're destroying my life.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Destroying his or her life. Well, this is to bring out the audience here into our Conversation. What I'm about to play. I'm going to play the clip for you. I'm talking about. Yeah, I think you probably want to listen to it again. So. Aisha Curry, man. Aisha Curry is the wife of Steph Curry. Steph Curry is the hall of Fame, soon to be hall of Fame point guard for the Golden State Warriors, a basketball player. Both of them profess to be Christians, by the way. Steph Curry literally changed the game of basketball by shooting three pointers from half court. I haven't started playing it yet, but.

>> Maria Hamilton: I don't hear you either. Oh, it's fine. I don't need to.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah, change the game of basketball certainly is going to go down in the hall of Fame to some people. He's a top 10, top five player. You. I don't, you know, I won't give you my ranks. I wouldn't probably put him in the top five, though. But, no doubt about it, he changed the game forever. she appeared on the podcast and, the first. It bothered me, first of all, that she's on this podcast. the podcast is a podcast for filth, utter filth. That's. That's what they do on. That's what they do in this podcast. The host is Alex Cooper. It's also, not surprisingly, one of the few podcasts that she should never be president. The remix went on during her run for the presidency in 2024, although she couldn't be bothered to travel. So she paid over a million dollars to remake a Washington D.C. hotel room to look like Alex Cooper's podcast set. Dead serious. so seeing that, that's the first thing to grab my attention. I saw it come across my feed. I was like, why is Aisha Curry talking to this woman? And when I say filth, I want to be very specific. Sexual degeneracy stuff discussed by women. That's what, that's what, that's the whole thing. That's what it's about. And I remember thinking I would not want my wife showing up on the podcast with this woman before I heard anything they had to say. I'm like, why are they having a podcast? But I wanted to be gracious. Why would she be on that podcast? I wanted to be gracious and, well, maybe. Maybe she'll do something redemptive. And. And I was disappointed. Yes, yes, Sister Pamela. It's, ah, a worldly, wicked, nasty podcast is what it is. The portion, the clip I'm going to show you, though, you're gonna know why I'm sharing it with you. So during the course of this conversation, Aisha Curry begins to. To. To. To discuss her dissatisfaction with her life with this woman on this podcast. And I was like, why is she saying these things to this lady? But let me stop talking about it. Let me let you watch and hear what Aisha Curry said from. From her own mouth. I'm going to resist my temptation, Jeff and Marty, to interrupt her right now. I'm going to let her get all of this tripe out, and then Mrs. Hamilton and I will begin discussing it. Listen to and watch clip number two. Clip two, go.

Maria Hamilton says she lacks biblical worldview of womanhood and motherhood

>> Speaker F: I didn't want kids. I didn't want to get married. I thought I was going to be career girl, and that's it. And I had my eyes set on my goals, and I was never the little girl that, like, dreamt about the wedding dress and all of that. And then it happened so early in my life.

>> Maria Hamilton: Did you talk to Steph about it?

>> Speaker F: He tries to resonate with me, but he just can't. And he also comes from a place of, like, that's stupid. Like, it's not true.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: So why.

>> Speaker F: And I'm like, but wait, like, listen.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: To how it makes me feel.

>> Speaker F: And he's like, but why does it.

>> Maria Hamilton: Make you feel like that?

>> Speaker F: It's not real. After we got married, we found out we were pregnant with our daughter so quickly, it. I didn't even have time to think about what I wanted anymore. It's so interesting. I spent my entire life, like, trying to work towards something, and then it kind of just disappeared, and I didn't think twice about it. But after my daughter turned one, I remember there being a shift and being like, I, have goals for myself. Like, this doesn't feel right. I love being a mom, but I love doing other things, too, and I need to get my together and figure out what that looks like for myself.

>> Maria Hamilton: Now if I have a career and I'm not home. Like, did you experience that?

>> Speaker F: I still experience that. I still experience that. I'm almost like, I'm always in therapy talking about this. if you lose all of those things that were interesting about you, even for yourself, like, even the things that made me feel confident and cool, then what? Like, what are you doing?

>> Abraham Hamilton III: I'll say before I get to the missus, I passed this by Mr. McIntosh as well, and he had some choice words to share about this. Now. Now y' all can tell. Now you know why I invited my wife to join me to discuss this. Maria Hamilton. The first. When you hear that, what Is your reaction?

>> Maria Hamilton: You know, first let me say that I heard a portion of that clip before you sent this clip to me. And I was like, man, maybe I need to hear the whole interview. Maybe there's more to this. You know, I want to. And even still, you know, maybe there's something that, you know, to extend grace, because my heart really wants to extend grace. And I will, I will. But I was like, maybe there's something there that I'm not hearing. And then I heard the longer clip that you just played, and I was like, oh, man, she's saying what I was worried that she was actually saying. So. But honestly, my first reaction and my, my reaction today still is my heart hurts for her. I grieve for her because you know how the Bible and we talk about this all the time. You know how the Bible says that there are those who are deceiving and being deceived. And so I believe she is deceived and she is deceiving in, in her portrayal of it. Now, let me be clear on something, right? So we both, you and I, because I, you know, you and I are one, we agree that wives have skills and talents, passions, desires, you know, callings.

>> Maria Hamilton: That God has placed in the wife that is real. And there is no denial there. To think of those gifts and talents and desires and passions and callings and like, missions in life, great things that are burning within us as wives. To think of those as removed from the equation when you become a mother, that is the deception of the devil. Right? And so I feel like she, with all the therapy that she's going to and all that, she lacks a biblical worldview of womanhood and motherhood. And that's why I grieve for her. Now she's going on this podcast and, and you know, the filth that comes through that there. She does not have someone in her corner that will help her see what a woman is according to God's design and how she is to fulfill her role in her marriage as a woman, a wife and a mother. She doesn't see it, she doesn't understand it, which is why she, embracing the world's understanding of it's either or. Or not even either or. It's like you either do what you love or you do what you don't love, which is raising children. Right? And that is so demonic. It's so demonic. It's demonic and it's deceptive and it's. And it's robbing her of, ah, fruitfulness in the kingdom and is Robbing Steph of fruitfulness in the kingdom and is robbing their children. And that is the thing that grieves me.

Barefoot: First of all, we have to understand who these people are

But of course, as you said earlier, and I'm going to shut up in a minute, you have these two people who claim to be believers because I can do all things, right. I can do all things on the tennis shoe.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: But that's what the scripture that Steph refers to, that scripture, on his tennis shoe, he has the scripture reference.

>> Maria Hamilton: And it's wonderful. But.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Well, it's not in context though.

>> Maria Hamilton: Right, that's what I was gonna say next. So first it has to be in context. Second of all, we have to understand who these people are. And with all the love and respect that I have within me, they are immature believers based on what they have displayed in public. And so we have to extend grace because they don't know what they don't know, but they have a following and an influence. And then you have those that are coming before them or after them, I should say that, are looking up to them and they're looking up to her as this beautiful wife of this, you know, professional basketball player and all the lights and the glamour, and she's spewing deception. She's embracing deception and spewing it through this, through this platform. And so I'm just very grieved. I'm very grieved that there's so much to say about her blindness because she could be some much m more fruitful than she's being, but she's being deceived.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: So, man, as you probably know, I have so many thoughts. the first one I alluded to, what caused her to be attracted to go onto that podcast, Flesh. Sure. But.

>> Maria Hamilton: If she, I'm sorry, can I just say this one thing? If she already is deceived into thinking that working girl, you know, power, boss lady perspective, that's what she is abandoning because she got married young and is having children now. Then of course she wants to go on a platform. I mean, that's going to be surprising. That's a platform that is advancing these aspects of womanhood, if you will, in quotes, because that's fallenness, that's flesh. But that's what's attractive because look what she's wrestling with in her heart. And I say wrestling to extend grace, but that's what she is dealing with.

>> Maria Hamilton: So of course she'll go on a platform like that. You know what I mean?

>> Abraham Hamilton III: She is talking as if someone forced her to, to marry and to have Children as if she had no say so.

>> Maria Hamilton: And as she has a downgrade.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah, I'm going to say she. She's speaking as if she was compelled to marry and to have children. And it seems to some degree, and I don't want to try to. To. To get into her mind, but she seems to some degree, at some level, at some point to be expressing regrets for that.

>> Maria Hamilton: And can I just add this one part that really hit me hard, the way that she expresses himself about Steph and about her husband, about how he doesn't understand and he tries, but, you know, he doesn't get it. Oh, man, it's so much. But as wives, especially publicly, like, in private, you shouldn't have that in your heart. But publicly to expose and your husband to public criticism in an area that he is not, quote, unquote, meeting you or understanding you or covering you, especially for Christians, we should understand that, is extremely detrimental to her marriage. Because what you're doing, especially Steph Curry, who everybody knows and everybody, quote, unquote, loves, because he's like, based m. On what I understand, like the good boy of like, the NBA. I don't know. He's married and has been married and has the kids and whatever, and has, like, a positive, you know, Persona, if you will, publicly, He now is seen very publicly as the husband that does. Not quite that. That doesn't get it. And really to the point where if you really go there, because the flesh will go there. Sinful people will go there. They'll say, he just has her at home barefoot and naked and. Naked. Lord. Barefoot and. And pregnant. Sorry. Barefoot and pregnant. And, And, And it's just there. And so, like, he's doing this to her because that's what they'll say. That's how far. She didn't mean to say it that way, but he will. I don't think he. She would mean for him to be exposed in that way. But. But she's doing it. I don't think that she would. She meant for people to come back and say, oh, that's. It's all Steph's fault. She doesn't mean for that to be the result. But that will be because of people who listen to that type of garbage in that. On that platform.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: You know what I mean? I just. Because this is not the first time, Jeff, you know, this. This is not the first time Ayesha Curry has said unflattering things about her husband in public.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah, that's very sad.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And so I wonder at this Juncture. I mean, once or twice. Okay. I wonder at this juncture if she's unaware of how her comments in this regard could be or actually are demeaning to her husband and undermining of her union.

She has an incomplete understanding of motherhood, man. And so she thinks little of it

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah, yeah. You know, I always use this word picture, which, I use it a lot, so maybe I need to m. Find another one. But, I always picture a ship, you know, and we're traveling both in a year. You and I are on this ship together. God called us to it. We have a mission. And I can very easily in my flesh poke holes in this ship, thinking you're sinking or thinking like the enemy, whatever the opposing perspective is sinking. But when I'm, I'm sinking myself. And so we are destroying. You can do that on your end and I can do it on mine, destroying this very ship that God has placed us in to accomplish his mission. And so she's doing that, or she's, she did some of that in that, in that interview, against her marriage. And so it just grieves me, man. She has an incomplete understanding of motherhood. She doesn't understand the great, value that God places on motherhood. And so she thinks little of it. And it's very sad.

It seems as if she regrets getting married

>> Abraham Hamilton III: I've been nice so far, but I think I need to go in a little deeper because one of the major takeaways it seemed to me from this clip, it's almost as if she regrets getting married. How can you have a level of regret for a, regret of being married, yet persevere in oneness? Yeah. As a union going for. I want to get into that. I mean, she said, I'm constantly in therapy. I have goals for myself. If you lose all the things that were interesting about you, it seems he's attempting to carve out a non married disposition M while being married.

Abraham Hamilton III: Aisha Curry's comments concerning marriage are concerning

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here along with my lovely wife Maria Hamilton. And we're just discussing the latest broadside. I would say that Aisha, Curry offered publicly against her husband, Steph Curry. And it is greatly concerning for a host of reasons. One of the main reasons why I wanted to talk about this is because we have a significant contingent of younger people who listen to this show. And I want you to know that what she said is a flat lie. Guys. it's a flat lie. It is a comments that flow from someone who has been captured by the critical theorist screed in the feminist iteration. She's deceived by it. Where you could literally. It's the type of deception that could have. Watch this. Did I say watch this out loud? It's the type of deception that can have a person who is literally in paradise, who has unfettered access to everything except one tree.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And the entire focus of their life is. But I need that tree.

>> Maria Hamilton: To the point where you need therapy. To the point therapy. Because you don't have the tree where.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: You are a multimillionaire who literally can do whatever she wants to do, but she sees herself as being deprived of life. She said, I have goals for myself. One of the major things. And you know, we talk about this when we have the privilege of counseling couples preparing for marriage. Why is there a consistent press for goals that she feels that have to be foreign to her union, to her husband?

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah. I don't understand that. That is, that is a divisive, really divorce inducing, if you will, mentality that, that is a. I live separately from you and my goals, my dreams, my passions, my calling has nothing to do with you. And I am being robbed of being able to implement those. because I married you.

>> Maria Hamilton: And it's like, whoa, where does that come from? That's not biblical. That's not from God. That's not the way God made us to be united as one. It's really sad.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: She said she's always in therapy. She's always in therapy. And she said, quote, if you lose all of those things that were. Past tense, that were interesting about you, oh, baby, you feel like you've lost the things that are interesting about me.

>> Maria Hamilton: So boring. I have no interesting things about me anymore. Oh my gosh. No, that is so I'm saying again, grieved, because what interesting about you, like, how. Why do you lose yourself? Like, why have you embraced this mentality that you lose yourself when you become married and have children? Why are you embracing the idea that, that who you are is no longer who you are? Because now what, you're changing a diaper? Or like, what do you see yourself doing? Why is that so small? Why is it that we are not training the minds and hearts of our children to succeed in this life? Why are we not seeing that once upon a time we were raised, and we need to raise the next generation of strong believers if we're Christians, but at best, you know, in humanism, to be good people. So why are we just not. Why are we thinking that none of that is interesting anymore? But the lie is. The lie is that we are only valuable. That's the thing about feminism is so demonic. We only contribute any value to either our marriages or any institutions in society. If we bring in money, notoriety, fame, accolades of men, if we don't bring, quote, unquote, any of that, then we have no value. See, we're only cooking and cleaning at home. And that is the lie that we need to reject as Christian women. That is such a lie. We literally are, who God made us to be before marriage and post marriage. God gave us a calling and a mandate and an instruction and passions and desires and things to fulfill before we were married. And we bring that into the marriage. And guess what? Our husbands, come lead us in that. And our giftings and our talents mesh with yours, M. In my case, with yours, babe. And we have a mission and a calling to accomplish. We have one goal, and that is to glorify God ourselves and to raise the next generation of believers that are going to glorify God in their lives.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yes. The mission and vision for our family is ours. It's not unilaterally mine or unilaterally yours.

>> Maria Hamilton: Right. How is that uninteresting?

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah.

This type of presentation cuts against what we read in Matthew 19 about marriage

and one of the things that also just leapt from this is you have, you know, a professing believer putting aside her usage of profanity on this profane podcast, but who seems to reject a biblical view of herself and her life station. Because she even said that if you lose the things that made me feel, I lose the things that made me feel confident. I lose the things that have made me feel cooled. And I'm talking about it in therapy all the time.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: This type of presentation cuts against what we read in Matthew 19.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: For what God has joined together, let no man separate, not even the people that are involved. Guys, this is why it's vitally important to not be hearers only of God's word, but to be doers of God's word, because marital oneness must be intentionally pursued and protected. One of the things, and you know this that I've committed myself to is never disparaging you publicly. Yeah, never. One of the things you've committed to is doing the exact same thing because our union is worth being fortified and worth protecting. How do comments like this in your estimation? You already gave the metaphor, the illusion, the word picture of the holes in the ship. But how does this type of commentary undermine the notion of oneness in marriage?

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah. So, first of all, we have to hope that they understand what marriage is, and hope that they understand that marriage is an illustration of Christ and his bride and that it is for husbands and wives to become one. And she's working against that. First by saying that she has lost a portion of herself by being joined to him and by him not understanding her. So those are divisive terms. as a union, we have to protect the oneness.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: If it's impossible, like, he does not understand me, and he cannot, and I.

>> Maria Hamilton: Have to go to therapy to figure myself out or figure this out. Right, so you're already approaching it from.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Ah, a.

>> Maria Hamilton: From a hopeless, divisive perspective. Oneness must be preserved. The enemy wants to destroy the union. So oneness as believers has to be intentionally cared for and preserved. So, practically speaking, right? Because we're not saying that you and I are the same person like you and I, we are extremely different in many areas. I came with different things that you came into the marriage with. But we embrace, first of all, God's roles for husbands and wives. Right within our marriage. and you also understand, and I understand vice versa, that what you bring to the table, is God ordained and what I bring to the table is God ordained. So when you have an area that you need help with me as the helper, I bring that help. You don't reject it. Why? Because you value, you understand man. This is what God intended the entire time. So I don't lose myself, you know, abandon who I am. I bring what I am to you to serve God in my role and to accomplish the mission God called us to. Likewise, I need you. I need you as my covering, my husband and my leader. I need that, I desire that because God has transformed my mind. But before you are transformed in the mind, we start, we keep thinking like we just come together as a partnership, as if it's just a contract on paper and it becomes conditional. And that is what the enemy wants.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: I can't help but think, and obviously I'm a man, I'm a husband. And I know, I believe today, you know, Wardell Stephen Curry iii, that's his real name, you know, has said, you know, things in the public attempting to cover for his wife.

>> Maria Hamilton: Oh, he does.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: But as a man, these, I don't think women understand sometimes, not all women, sometimes I don't think women understand just how powerful their impact is on their husbands.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Like I've told you that your opinion is the only opinion of a human being in the world that I care about in terms of having the type of. I care. I don't mean I'm not callous and cold toward other people. But you are my pride. You are the most important physical flesh and blood person in the world to me.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: So if, if, if you say things publicly that is detrimental to me and my union, it hits in a way that it doesn't matter how many critics would have to say, you know, right wing watch can posting about me, post this about me. You know, Politico can write these stories, man, I don't care what they say, but if my wife has this perception of me, it's going to hit me differently. And I cannot help but to consider then I man, I hope the Lord opens their eyes.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: But those kind of comments consistently, this is now the multiple times she's saying these things in public about her husband. I hope they're okay. and I pray they would have godly influences around them. But what we've seen publicly in These areas, it doesn't seem to be. And I want to say for sisters, especially those who are married, who may be experiencing difficulties within their marriage, with all of the wisdom that I can muster in urgency, in love and care, please don't disparage your husbands publicly.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah. I think what we need to understand is, wives, let me say this same thing.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Husbands, please don't disparage your wives publicly because the same thing happens in reverse.

>> Maria Hamilton: Amen. Yeah.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: You know, if I would have mean you, it would resonate at a whole different level than if somebody else said something negative about you.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah. Just simply and quickly, the, the reality is that when we do that, when we expose our husbands in that manner, and again, we can, you and I can disagree and there can be something that you've said wrong or that I, you know, that I need to talk to you in private about, but it's going to be in private because we have to protect our unity. And the enemy is looking for whatever entry to come in and divide us. So that's why we do it in private. If there is something that we need to discuss.

Abe: Women belittle their husbands in public, which is detrimental

But the exposure in that, in that, what did you call it? Despairing? What did you call it?

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Disparaging.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah. Disparaging in public, is extremely detrimental because we don't realize as wives, like you explained, that, you know, I'm the most important, like my opinion, you, it matters to you most is because God made us to be helpers. So we, we shore up, we help, we, we come in and, and give what, what is lacking, if you will, for lack of a better term there, but, but we do it in a, in a way that is edifying and uplifting. And so if we do it in a way in the name of helping, which sometimes it's not even helping, but in the name of like addressing or correcting or like addressing an error or whatever in a detrimental, belittling manner. What we are doing is we are eroding at your manhood, at, ah, your manhood. So our influence on husbands is extremely important. It's very easy for us in the flesh to belittle them and complain about our husbands and whatever they're not doing. But honestly, what we're doing is we are literally damaging our own futures and our own marriages, and that is extremely detrimental.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And I want to say to the young men who are listening to me, guys, because I've had conversations, don't think Ayesha Curry is a standard. There are godly women who understand that what she did is not good and who will not repeat the same things. And that's another reason why I wanted to have this conversation. Because I've heard guys say, man, look, man, look, you got Steph. This man, he's making all of the money. from what we know, he treats her well. he'll support anything that she's doing. And even a man like him can't avoid having his wife go out in public and trashing him, man. Why do I think I get anything better? Listen, fellas, reject that. Reject that, guys. Because there are godly women who would love to have a godly man to serve as their covering, to serve as the leader of their family and to, and to build a family and generationally invest in the eternal kingdom of God, who do not view children as a burden or as an impediment to my self actualization goals. There are women in this world who do not share that ideology. She is exhibit A. And I'm gonna be quiet after this. Of the overwhelming injection of feminist ideology into society that is perpetually narcissistic and that is contrived for the express purposes of a lack of contentment.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah, it's emasculating, right? It's emasculating men. And so we complain as women, we complain about, men are not doing this. They don't understand, they can't relate, they can't do this. They're not doing this. But at the same time that we're complaining about that, those of us that are married, that are ignorantly doing this, maybe, or even sometimes willingly in an, evil fashion doing this, we are literally emasculating our husbands in front of everyone. You don't do, you don't know, you don't understand, you are doing this. And then the enemy comes and takes that and makes a party out of that. And so it's very emasculating and it's very unfortunate. I really grieve for him too. like you said, I really hope they work on it and don't end up where this is heading because these types of perspectives are heading in that direction. It's really sad.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: One of the greatest antichrist dispositions of modern society is the narcissistic self centered disposition. The scripture says there's greater love. There's no greater love than this. Then a man will lay down his life.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: That it appears that she is unaware of the glorious beauty of selflessness and an investment in oneness, in marriage. And I, man, I hope that there is a changing, of course. I hope that they mature to the Point to where. And I mean that. I don't mean this as a condescending remark. Mature to the point where they recognize that, you know what, Whatever issues we may have, let's deal with that privately. You're not going to invite me? There's no amount of money you can pay me to come into some public venue and to trash my husband. There's no amount of money you can pay me to come into some public venue and say things relatively or remotely negative or trash my wife. This we need to rediscover a biblical understanding of marriage. When you and I joined in holy matrimony, that was the end of Abe as an individual.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: You know, I sat my relatives down at, at our rehearsal dinner the day before our marriage and explain to them, from this day forward, Maria is my primary natural priority. It's not because I don't love you guys anymore. I have a different position about you. I just have a transcendent commitment. And her name is Maria.

>> Maria Hamilton: Yeah, likewise. Yeah. It's just the same thing, right? Selfishness destroys marriages. So when I think about me separate from you, it will destroy, ah, us. So we are one. And we have to put protect that.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Amen. And they have children? Children, yeah.

>> Maria Hamilton: Pray for them.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Lord, we need you so desperately in our society, in every sector. There's only way we could have a great, great nation is if we return to the Lord in fullness.
