Christianity Has Become Too FEMININE For Men To Care

Christianity is losing global market share. Currently Christians make up about 31% of worlds population. Islam about 23%. But at current growth rates by 2050 Christianity is projected to remain flat, and Islam is expected to grow to almost 30%. By 2050, there will be just about as many Muslims as Christians world-wide. In terms of percentage of global population, Christianity is NOT projected to gain any market share over the next 30 years and will lose it’s world-wide majority… Here's why...
The single biggest influence on if children remain in their faith is the faith of their father. In the Christian Church only about 1/3 of weekly church attendees are men. Men make up about 45% of the Christian Church, and 60% of those men consider themselves casual Christians... This means that only 18% of men are active Christians. This isn’t going to cut it especially when Islam is made up of 65% men!
The Christian church is being eroded one man, one family at a time. We must show men that the life they are looking for is the way of the cross. We must inspire a generation of warriors who will fight for our values, families, and children. We must unify and become one, body, one Truth, one way if we are going to win souls and make disciples of all nations. If you feel called, join me in this pursuit...

Great Video once again. You are doing the right thing brother, we’re in this together

[@zachcostello_]

Thanks brother! Glad you are with me

The main problem with Christianity nowadays is that it tells you to be tolerant, emotional, loving your enemies, and let Jesus do all the work for you. Which is not true at all, Christian men in the past slaughtered the enemies of Jesus, they did not sympathize with them. They did not tell men to be tolerant of disrespectful behavior towards Jesus. Just look at Jesus in revelation, hes literally the definition of a warrior. Hes on a white horse slaughtering the enemies of God with swords coming out of his mouth. So stop being tolerant and pick up your cross and fight for your faith.

I appreciate this video. Sadly, this been going on since the 1980s. Especially, in the black communities.

Glad I found this channel Much better then the tates

[@zachcostello_]

Welcome 🙏🏼

[@angelatommasohellman454]

Can you give more examples of how to make the Christian faith more attractive to men? Some ideas I am thinking : - highlighting it’s spiritual warfare - Word of God being a “sword” - it’s about good vs evil

[@zachcostello_]

I agree with you and I plan to do another video on this. 1) spiritual warfare and the need for warriors to defend not only the truth, but the way of life: marriage, family that is under attack. 2) Jordan Peterson’s approach has been very effective at logically explaining what religious things mean. Instead of “you should believe this because the Bible says so” or “it’s just true” he is digging into what these things mean and why they are important. 3) We need to revive what it means to follow Christ and take up your cross. As a man this is to take ownership of your life, accept responsibility, remain strong enough to carry it, dedicate your life to your God-given purpose and responsibility, and then win others over - become influential for the truth and this Way of life. 4) battle of good and evil, and we need warriors. We need good men to defend families and children. The family is under attack right now. The enemy is targeting men and fathers, breaking up families, etc. It’s actually trending to be cool and rebellious to be a husband and father, we need to take advantage of that. 5) I like your suggestion Word of God being a sword. The same verse says it’s “sharp and effective” and that language appeals to men. We want to be sharp, effective, competent, respected, dedicate our lives to something meaningful, etc. The language we use cannot be lovey dovey towards men. We want it to be hard! I don’t think the marketing or influencing can be done from inside the Church. I think it needs to be done culturally and will then change the make up of the Church over time. Like there isn’t a marketing campaign necessarily that individual churches can implement, I think the good men and women need to be vocal and get involved in the cultural battle and conversation. Lila Rose is a good example, and I started this channel to do the same. More to come but wanted to respond to your comment.

[@BadgerWolf-19]

Not in the apostolic church...those men are masculine! WPF.

Islam is more vital, more down-to-earth than Christianity and also has a more viable narrative. The Prophet Mohammed said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never received any good from you." (authentic hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 29)

[@kevinmorgan8534]

Read Leon Podles " The Church Impotent: The Feminization of Christianity." Dr. Podles is a conservative Catholic who goes into this question in depth.

[@zachcostello_]

Thanks for the rec. Will do!

[@tvhead7074]

Something else I would add about Islam is that being able to have multiple wives is appealing to men. But I think the overarching topic here is that Islam has a sense of worldly hierarchy whereas Christianity doesn’t. I’m Catholic so we do have a hierarchy of clergy but, as for the laity, there’s nothing that separates the “chad alpha” guy from the “beta”. Whereas in Islam, from an outsider looking in, I could say “The guy who has more wives is clearly of higher status and more of a man than the guy who has less”. Literally the only reason I’m Catholic is because it’s the truth. If it wasn’t for that then I would be out because Catholicism really doesn’t do anything to benefit me in a worldly sense. Unfortunately worldly religions will always be more attractive to men and that’s just something we Christians have to accept. It goes back to what Sam was saying.

[@zachcostello_]

Thanks for commenting. I am also Catholic and I used "Christian" as the title of this video for broader appeal, however the failure of the Catholic Church to remain relevant to young men is actually worse than overall Christianity... 90% of faith formation in the Catholic Church is done by women. Only about 8% of Catholics are active parishioners, and only 18% of those are men!!! I don't think it's about being worldly, the first Christians were inspired and died for the faith. We used to attract the top talent - the most creative, smartest, strongest men. We need to find a way to rekindle that warrior adventure spirit to get them back.

[@tvhead7074]

@@zachcostello_ the statistics you mentioned are due to a spillover from feminism (which I’m sure you know). However, I don’t think the answer is to pander to young men. Instead of pandering to young men, I think the Church should just get rid of the feminization and then go for a neutral state where everything is about the basics of repentance. If we pander to young men then that will just lead to this polarization of sorts where the masculine and feminine are constantly at odds. But I do think the feminization needs to go, not as a result of the masculine coming in, but because it simply gets kicked out. Also I think one way to fix the issue of men leaving the Church is to fix the women. If the Church can offer loads of attractive (key word “attractive”) young virgins, like it used to before society became as sexually immoral as it is, then men would flock to Church and strive to be holier because of this incentive. I think this would be a good start.

​@@zachcostello_If you're catholic then you are involved in a false religion, and being taught false doctrine. So how can criticize Christianity.

[@kforcer]

We also need to remember, though, that Jesus's truth is not necessarily going to be easy or convenient for us or for society. Ultimately, we need to adjust to His truth if we can and not try to make Him fit what we think we need. My point is just that if the message of Christianity seems insufficiently tough at times to some people, then ultimately, the change needs to happen in their understanding, not in Jesus's message.

[@alcazar123456]

And what is Jesus’ message exactly?

[@Music4951]

Sam Harris may not be the source to describe either religion and the specific details about them. But he is right about the effeminacy of the church BUT it's only here in the WEST. Nothing needs to change about the Bible, just "church culture" in the U.S. and Europe. The church is not effeminate in other parts of the world.

[@rtrt8505]

Well there are Christians that have multiple wives also. That is something most do not think about. Also it really is a generational thing that Muslim men have multiple wives. Most have only one wife. Multiple wives is an option.

[@kingwooly6211]

Could you elaborate a bit more on how the church is being feminized please?

[@moczs]

There's more women in the Church than men. Women are in the pulpit. Worships are becoming more emotional. Less christians men and christian celebrities being masculine but rather effeminate. The preaching like "Jesus loves you ❤️" (it's still true) or "Jesus is my husband" makes the faith look feminine to others while it's not and we could say "Jesus is adopting you as a son and wants to fight this battle that is life with you". Church being more progressive, less men people preaching the Gospel in a masculine way. Christians wanting less and less attacking feminism by showing actual biblical womanhood. Christians becoming more and more feminists. Christians wanting to less offend society by attacking LGBT, feminism, pro-choice movement and other kind of immorality. People being afraid of standing for Truth in public, being afraid to tear friendships or relationships apart for the sake of sharing Christ and his principles. There's probably more.

[@slimdude2011]

He really don't know anything about Christianity because he's not even a Christian. He's Catholic!
