As a musician, I try to stay on top of the music industry and what’s popular in the culture especially with young people. I have also worked as a tv personality, video director and writer for comedy and talk shows so television and the movie industry are also on my radar. I think it’s important as a minister to know what young people are combating with in popular culture and the media. All this combined with being a new mom and a feminist makes for some interesting viewpoints on what I have witnessed in the past couple years:
I used to be heavily engrossed in MTV and VH1 television myself, so it’s no surprise that pop music has not only influenced my music writing style but also my early on musical idols, including Beyonce from Destiny’s Child and other female singers the like. But now, I am deeply deeply disturbed by these women who I once viewed as female role models. New singers like Ariana Grande have only taken their what I call fuax-femine message a step further with songs like “God Is a Woman”, in which religious words are overtly used to emphasize the radical feminist agenda with anti-male rhetoric and the perversion of real love between the sexes.
I’m reading a book currently called, “The Anti-Mary Exposed” by Carrie Gress in which the case for an Anti-Mary is made correlating with the Anti-Christ. And the more I read on, the more clearly I see this proposition as a reality everywhere—from music, to tv shows to clothes, to social media, gossip, political distraction, divorces, violence, lies lies lies. Women are becoming more male-like to embrace “freedom and equality” while losing the very qualities that make them by nature the balance the world culture actually needs.
The answer to healing the world is not women having the power to behave like men, but in women merely embracing everything female. Girls are glorious.
