Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: The liberal globalist order is on its brink and awakening a new conservative age.
- 0:06[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Steve Turley, join me every day as we discover answers to today's toughest challenges and explore the re-bondalization of conservative civilization.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_00]: This is Turley Talks.
- 0:21[SPEAKER_00]: Hey gang, it's me, Dr. Steve, you're a Patre professor.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_00]: Today I'm away from the studio.
- 0:25[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually in front of a room full of Patre.
- 0:28[SPEAKER_00]: It's pouring into people who are ready to fight for faith, family, and freedom, and their own communities.
- 0:34[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of my favorite things I love to do.
- 0:37[SPEAKER_00]: But I cannot let the day go by without walking with you too.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: So ahead of time, I sat down and recorded this conversation just from moments like this.
- 0:48[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love for you to share one concrete thing that you're doing to push back and build something beautiful right where you are.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_00]: This is part of a movement and it needs your voice in it.
- 1:00[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to teach you a word and this is, this word is going to connect those two concepts.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_00]: and it's a water-coiled pie-dea.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_00]: Anyone ever hear that word?
- 1:10[SPEAKER_00]: You don't get that word, you're gonna laugh.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_00]: But if we use that, it's an ancient Greek word, it actually means child.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_00]: So when you take your kids to the doctor, it's called a pediatrician, or you major in pediatrics, right?
- 1:25[SPEAKER_00]: It's the same word.
- 1:26[SPEAKER_00]: My day is a matter of fact, if you talk to somebody in his Greek, and they're talking about their child, they're talking about their pediatrics, okay?
- 1:33[SPEAKER_00]: So I've still used today for trial, but in the ancient world, it eventually developed a richer meaning, a deeper meaning of the Latin word culture, which of course is culture.
- 1:48[SPEAKER_00]: So idea, describe the beliefs, the symbols, the values,
- 1:56[SPEAKER_00]: the civilization that you wanted to pass down to the next generation.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_00]: That's the idea of PIDA.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_00]: And so when they thought about education, they thought of an enterprise and a project that was radically cultural that when we educate our kids, we're not just employing a bunch of information to them.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_00]: We're actually forming within them a particular way of being human.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_00]: And what's really neat, if you go to the New Testament, you go to Ephesians chapter 6.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_00]: All instructs fathers to raise their children.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_00]: You probably see that the translation is often in the fear and the admonition of the Lord, and you're familiar with that passage, right?
- 2:43[SPEAKER_00]: Well, if you go to the Greek, it's actually high data to give you the high data of the Lord.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: Paul wants parents to raise their children in a distinctively Christian and culture-ation.
- 2:59[SPEAKER_00]: It's very profound stuff.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_00]: And so what they were Jewish, Roman, Greek, it didn't matter.
- 3:08[SPEAKER_00]: They were
- 3:09[SPEAKER_00]: expected to transform their cultures into unique, pigtudic expressions of the Christian nozzle.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_00]: So that's key here.
- 3:18[SPEAKER_00]: The ancient Greek term for education just entailed is inextricable link between education and
- 3:27[SPEAKER_00]: closer so you can literally think of education as unculturation.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a matter of simply imparting information.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a matter of simply prepping press IDs.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_00]: That's all fine.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: That's great, but it's deeper than that.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't have a very deliberate and intentional inculturation in your classrooms, somebody else is going to come in and bring in it.
- 3:51[SPEAKER_00]: Does that make sense?
- 3:55[SPEAKER_00]: culture that they wanted to infiltrate children in was made up of this amazing complex known as the polys, right, or the city state.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_00]: And this is really cool because we can even, we can dig deeper here in terms of these profound significancies, who knows the Greek word, the original
- 4:23[SPEAKER_00]: If you're Spanish speaking, let me know about that.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_00]: That's the idea, right?
- 4:28[SPEAKER_00]: So you could break it down.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_00]: So our church comes from the Greek, Kibyaki.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_00]: And Kibyaki literally means the Lord's Day.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_00]: And it got and recognized with the Gaelic, I guess, in the Coward, and then Carter becomes church, right?
- 4:47[SPEAKER_00]: And that's fine, but the actual original church, actually, see a breakdown into act like exit, and classies like Caleo, literally means to call.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_00]: So we use the same word today, Caleo, call, right, and act exit.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: So to call out to call out to people,
- 5:10[SPEAKER_00]: So the church are the call-out ones, which is really cool because if you think it's really ancient, Hebrews are known as the semites.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_00]: And that goes back to the Chema.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_00]: Here is Regal Lord, the Lord is one here.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, is Regal, Chema, the call-out ones.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_00]: Ecclesiate.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: But in the ancient world, Ecclesiate was not a term for religious gatherings.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_00]: So if I said, you want to come to the Ecclesiate, you want to be thinking about
- 5:40[SPEAKER_00]: You would actually be thinking, we're gonna go to something more akin to a political gathering.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_00]: I know you keep telling yourself at some point in the future.
- 5:50[SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna buy and store away a few dozen gallons of water just in case an emergency.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_00]: Hits your family and the water shuts off.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_00]: We've all experienced it, the storm hits, the faucet stops working and we're left wondering how long it's gonna be before we have drinking water again.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_00]: Every time it happens, we kick ourselves for not being more prepared.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_00]: Well, here's an easy step that you can take the cost less than a dinner out.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_00]: It's called the pure water straw, and it can clean an entire year of water for you.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_00]: It's absolutely amazing.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's the perfect emergency tool.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_00]: for making sure your family always has clean water through a disaster.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: So I got a little bit of some dirty water here as it were.
- 6:36[SPEAKER_00]: And what you do is you just take it out and you take the top off.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_00]: And then what you can do is you can drink from any water source no matter how dirty check this out.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_00]: I can't, I can't do not, it tastes just like water.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_00]: This is, this is coffee, obviously.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_00]: I don't taste the coffee.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: It's just water.
- 7:10[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is, this is amazing.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_00]: The pure water straw allows you to drink from literally any water source from the pond.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_00]: from the mud puddle, the bucket that caught the rainwater, even I kid you not, even the toilet.
- 7:30[SPEAKER_00]: The pure water straw instantly cleans out bacteria pathogens and debris and purifies the water.
- 7:37[SPEAKER_00]: So you can drink clean water from any source without worrying about you can your guts out.
- 7:42[SPEAKER_00]: We am these in our home.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_00]: We got him in our cars, we've got him in our go bags or emergency responders actually recommend having one of these on hand for every member of your household.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_00]: They store well in their sealed bag.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_00]: It's a tool your family will be able to count on for years to come now.
- 8:00[SPEAKER_00]: If it take out meal is more important than a year of clean water for your family, well then obviously the pure water straw isn't for you, but if you know how important clean water is and understand how quickly a disaster can change everything, then getting a few of these pure water straws is a no brainer.
- 8:20[SPEAKER_00]: It's the most logical next step, both for your
- 8:22[SPEAKER_00]: piece of mine, but also from an investment price stand point because normally these are $45 each, but today the makers Sierra Madre need to make some space in their Wisconsin warehouse.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_00]: And so they're marking these guys down over 60% with free shipping to boot.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_00]: Click the link in the description below and grab yours today so your family's ready for the next crisis or disaster.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_00]: You won't regret it.
- 8:49[SPEAKER_00]: Click on that link below right now.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_00]: The Ecclesia was actually the epicenter of the polys.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_00]: The Greek city state.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_00]: Those Greek cities are everywhere.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_00]: Rome was the city state Jerusalem was the city state.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_00]: Alexandria, Egypt was the city state.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: They're everywhere.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_00]: The government, what we might think of as a town hall,
- 9:12[SPEAKER_00]: um, was what's called the Ecclesia.
- 9:14[SPEAKER_00]: They called out ones, and these were the adult citizen males who had ultimate decision-making authority in any particular polys.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_00]: And so Pidea had this very profound sense that this is the way we're going to form our future called out ones.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_00]: This is the way we're going to shape and mold our future leaders.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: It's in our PIDA.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_00]: The PIDA is for creating those called out in the Eclacia.
- 9:50[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if you put it all together, Paul is telling followers, raise your children in the Ecclesiate of the EU.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, the Patea to the EU.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_00]: He's calling everybody who belongs to these gatherings, members of the Ecclesiate, that sounds so political.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's right, because you're part of the new Jerusalem.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_00]: You belong to the true and everlasting city.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_00]: So hence Augustine's great work is called the City of Tows today, the city of God, namely the church, the people of God who ultimately manifest the kingdom of God.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_00]: And so Pidea was this educational project
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: where by members of the Ecclesia were cultivated.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_00]: So, by the end of the ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Christians, was a distinctively political educational project.
- 10:42[SPEAKER_00]: They had a very specific understanding of what that meant.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_00]: And they recognized that if you want a flourishing civic life, you had to cultivate a flourishing soul.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_00]: because they sold the soul as a microcosm of the city.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_00]: Plato's, if you ever had to play as a republic, which is actually the model for Augustine City of God, which he wrote several centuries later.
- 11:10[SPEAKER_00]: But in his republic, he gives the ideal order of a society.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_00]: But instead, of course, this can't work unless the soul is first ordered.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_00]: And so the blueprint for the society becomes a blueprint for the soul, the intellectual, the moral, the aesthetic capacities of the human person.
- 11:32[SPEAKER_00]: And amazingly, our founding fathers had a very similar view for our country.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_00]: honest Guinness, the sociologist calls it the golden triangle of freedom.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_00]: This is really cool.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_00]: All our founding fathers, this is Guinness's argument.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_00]: All our founding fathers' health is, you want to find one commonly that they all held, that they did not debate it was this.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_00]: If you wanted to be truly free, you had to be virtuous, because only a virtuous people could self-govern.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to be truly free, you've got to be virtuous.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_00]: But if you want to be virtuous, you've got to have a faith tradition.
- 12:11[SPEAKER_00]: So no way around that.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_00]: Because faith tradition, particularly Christianity, are the eternal sources of civic virtue.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_00]: But if you want real faith, you gotta be free because coerced faith is not true faith.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_00]: But if you want to be free, you've got to be virtuous, which requires faith, which requires freedom, which requires virtue, which requires.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_00]: So this is what's known as this interlocking, interdependent triangle of freedom.
- 12:44[SPEAKER_00]: If you want freedom, you've got to have virtue, which requires faith, which requires freedom.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_00]: So they are all self-reinforcing.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_00]: So, that's our founding fathers' conception of this very principle.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_00]: The cultivation of virtue in paedaya was considered in the sensual element for flourishing colleagues of flourishing society.
- 13:08[SPEAKER_00]: That's the interconnection.
- 13:10[SPEAKER_00]: between politics and education.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_00]: And this pided connection that civic virtue comes ultimately from a virtue-centered education, defined our education a project for 2,500 years in the West.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_00]: Now, for me, a lot of this kind of came home in one of the coolest moments of the whole Trump presidency.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_00]: And that is when JD bands
- 13:38[SPEAKER_00]: brought up this whole notion of ordered loves.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_00]: Does anybody remember this?
- 13:44[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_00]: And he, any dead down on it, he got some pushback because liberals know how devastating this is to their project.
- 13:53[SPEAKER_00]: This very talk I'm giving you.
- 13:55[SPEAKER_00]: If we were to, if we were to cover these friends or reference, you know, liberation, this activism is going.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_00]: So he got into this whole thing of ordered love.
- 14:04[SPEAKER_00]: He was in an interview with Sean Hannity and he was talking about the issue of immigration and he explained that the Trump administration's policy on order security was rooted in this very definition of civic virtue.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_00]: And he defined it in terms of what he called the very Christian concept of ordered love.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_00]: True virtue is fundamentally about learning how to love rightly.
