  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's to your mama's,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: we are conservative, but our grown children have bought into
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the leftist nonsense full force.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Help.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Oh my, well, let's ask our American mama's.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Mama Mama, and joining us now are American mamas Terry
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Edville and Kimberly Burlson. I don't think my kids have
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: bought into the left full force. I do know that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: there's some kids that I've worked with on different things
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in the past, and I see their Facebook posts and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh, no, you're believing lies. How do
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you help those parents that are dealing with that? How
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: do you help the kids that have bought into things
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that simply aren't true?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: You know, when we got this question, I thought about
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: one particular friend of mine on Facebook. We've been friends
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: for years. I've watched her children grow up, My kids
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: have all been in school with her. Her son is
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: as far left as you can possibly get, and he
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: is spewing things online all day, every day, and my
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: friend is completely opposite. So I decided to call her
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: because I just wanted to have a conversation with her,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: because I wanted to ask her, like, what do you
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: do because she's so loving, she's so wonderful. So I
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: called her and it was a very interesting conversation, and
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: she gave me a little background. She said, he married
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: an atheist. That's the first thing that happened. Oh, but
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: she's loving. She said, she's the most wonderful girl. She's
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the most wonderful girl. But she's an atheist. Her parents
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: are atheists, and they're not as wonderful. And she said,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: what I've noticed is my son grew up Christian with
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Christian values. He is now his idol, is now his wife,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: and she feels like he is posting things to make
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: her happy, to make her feel seen and to be loved.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And she said, all I want is relationship with my child.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Because I love my child. I'll never turn away from him.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I will never shame him. She said, the problem is
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: he wants to debate me all the time, and I
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: want to And she said, I'm very clear, let's not
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: go there, let's not have this conversation. But yet he's
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: his desire is to win. He wants to win arguments,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and he's never going to win an argument with me
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: because we think so fundamentally differently. And she said, so
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: what I do is I when I have my grandchildren,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: he told me, do not ever bring up God, you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: And she said, God's a part of my life every day,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: all day. So sometimes it slips, she says, I really
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: try to be mindful of what he wants, but he
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: is who I am, and so she said, I pray.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm doing. I am praying all the time
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: because his foundation is the Christian values that we raised
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: him with. I believe that he will come back to that,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and I believe she will too, his wife.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: So that is actually very good advice that if you're
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: dealing with kids who have become prodigal, right, that the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: appropriate response to that is prayer. That there really is.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, Christians believe there's power in prayer, then
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: let's put that into practice. I think that's wise advice.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Terry Well, I you know, do you I remember that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: eighties show Family Ties, Oh yeah, where Michael P. Keaton
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: was the Republican of the family and they were all
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: like the hippie liberals exactly.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I think how brilliant that show was because they allowed
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: each other to be each other and love each other right,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: no matter what the problem now is that things have
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: gotten so heated between the two parties. They're so different
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: from each other in so many ways. And you can't
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: blame the kid because he's hearing this news from the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: left and they're given misinformation and they are spinning stories,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and so they truly firmly believe that what they're saying
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that hates all black people are Trump.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: You know all the news about the shutdown, that the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: big media which is completely lying overnight, over and over.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: All you can say is what I said to a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: friend that got into it with me is, look, I'm
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: not going to blame you for believing what you believe
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: because you believe what you believe because of who you're around,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: what you're exposed to, who you listen to on the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: radio or whatever. And same with me. So you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I would hope that you'd give me the same respect.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: But all I can say is I love you no
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: matter what. I will not let politics override our friendship.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: In this case, your son, I will not let politics
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: override my love for you. So we'll stay off the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: topic and know that I'm here for you and that
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: we'll just respect that each other feels differently, and it's
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: simply because of what rings true in our heart, what
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: we hear that feels right, what we hear that feels wrong,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And then I feel like eventually you just that that
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: respect comes through and you're able to maintain those relationships.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And I do think that a foundational worldview is so important.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: If you don't have the rooting in God is actually real,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: God is in control, then you can spin out of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: control very quickly. And if you start thinking that, well,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: all people are good and well, that's starts leading to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: another problem too, because we're not. And then you start
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: blaming society for why people are bad. When people are
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: bad because we're in a fallen world, and so you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: can get things upside down very very quickly if you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: don't have a solid foundation to your worldview. I agree,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: prayer is so important.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I cannot think of anything else that gets me through.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: It gets us through.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: And this particular mother, she'll she'll win in the end
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: because of that, He'll know that he's loved absolutely.
