As our world evolves, the narrative surrounding disability and identity takes on ever more intricate layers. We're peeling back those layers, bringing you a frank conversation that differentiates between the real challenges faced by disabled individuals and the burgeoning trend of a victim mentality, which sees the able-bodied adopting the controversial term "pre-disabled." The discussion cuts to the core of how this mindset may unintentionally undermine the genuine struggles of those with disabilities, while also exploring why some find allure in self-victimization. We dissect the implications on empowerment and victory, advocating for understanding yet questioning the psychological effects of adopting such identities.
This episode also dares to navigate the murky waters of ideology and gender identity, critiquing the practice of altering one's body to align with perceived identities, exemplified by a woman's choice to blind herself. Here, we confront the role of medical professionals, the entanglement of leftist agendas, and the complex interplay between personal autonomy and societal expectations. As a Christian, I'm joined by fellow believers in questioning these evolving norms and advocating for a return to scriptural truths. We don't shy away from the tough conversations, examining where faith intersects with the rapidly shifting societal landscape, all the while championing direct access to God's grace in our modern world.

Speaker 1:
So this is about the the same caliber as what Black Lives Matter tried to play on Like, because because you are a certain color, you are less than another color and that's bull. And it's the same thing what people are trying to do now, apparently with handicap, and they're about to look at these stories and I'm telling you there's something demonic and mental illness going on in these faith and failures podcast.
Speaker 1:
The reason people are Wanting to play the victim is because they don't understand how to be victorious. The reason they don't understand how to be victorious is because we, as Christians, have severely failed them to show them what that means and what that looks like as a believer. And so we're gonna watch this video and I want you to think about, and some of them are funny and like really crazy and ridiculous. But also I want you to, I want you to look and watch these people from a place of compassion, because this is real life to them.
Speaker 4:
Now, whether they're trying to get views or whatever, I don't know, but what I'm saying is this is real, so let's watch this since you don't care about a quarter million people Continuing to die from COVID every year, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you consider yourself to be able-bodied.
Speaker 3:
Well, this is next level victim mentality. Welcome back to JP reaction on my beautiful freedom loving friend where Fasfor. He worked there and the word already comes in. I'm up.
Speaker 1:
Let me get past this. There's a little intro, so sorry about that.
Speaker 3:
Okay, then I did a little searching and realize, oh, she's not the only one, this is a trend.
Speaker 2:
So let me show you a quick clip of this original one, and then we'll see some new stuff being an able-bodied person in the COVID cautious community is Absolutely wild, because at this point in my life, most of my friends are disabled and when I will talk to other able-bodied or, as a lot of people are more aptly referring to you, now Pre-disabled.
Speaker 3:
Because let's be serious, More aptly referring to him because, well, it's pretty serious. I would take a look at this next clip of Insanity. This would be the group of people you know, the brightly colored neon hair, which, by the way, she has clearly colored red hair which feels like it appropriates me. Anyway, these are the type of people that, would you know, start screaming like oh you know, you can't call them the Cleveland Indians, that's cultural appropriation or misappropriation or misinformation, whatever they call it.
Speaker 3:
But then you look at people who actually aren't able-bodied, they've got some kind of a handicap and I would dare say their mentality and what they're aiming for is dramatically appropriating Handicapped immunity. People who they have to face more challenges than I could even imagine. But they're just drawing on that, saying, hey, if we pretend we have some of what you got, I feel like more of a victim. And the more of a victim I feel, the more powerful I feel. Did you know, being a victim, self-induced, makes you incredibly disempowered? Not really, it just feels empowering to me. Look how significant I am, the bigger of a victim I become. So let's take another look.
Speaker 1:
So this is about the the same caliber as what Black Lives Matter tried to play on Like because you are a certain color, you are less than another color and that's bull. And it's the same thing what people are trying to do now, apparently with handicap. And we're about to look at these stories and I'm telling you there's something demonic and mental illness going on in these.
Speaker 3:
At someone claiming yeah, we're all just pre-disabled.
Speaker 4:
If you get offended by being called cis, you're gonna love this.
Speaker 1:
Cis is basically made up term. It is made up like it means just the standard. So male and female. You don't have to say cisgender, it's male and female. That's it Now you tell me.
Speaker 4:
Since you don't care about a quarter million people continuing to die from COVID every year, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you consider yourself to be able-.
Speaker 3:
Or a freedom loving, or you hate tyranny, but anyway he's connecting to us, he hallucinates, that's great you are what's known as pre-disabled Nobody's able-bodied.
Speaker 3:
Nobody is able-bodied. I like that. That is optimistic. Nobody is able-bodied, nobody. You're pre-disabled. Which his perspective in life, by the way, probably how he lives his life A lot of how degenerate people people live their life. They probably will become disabled through a self-induced mechanism, whether it's diabetes or just like hey, I haven't had a job for about 30 years because I think working is very oppressive, so I've got vitamin C deficiency. So, no, I've got scurvy. I don't know what scurvy does, but-.
Speaker 4:
You're just not disabled yet, you're just not disabled yet.
Speaker 3:
Thank you for that optimism, buddy.
Speaker 4:
Let's hope some mass-disabling event does not come along and accelerate that timeline. Oh shit.
Speaker 3:
I'm curious what a mass-disabling event would be Like. There's like a plane crashing to a neighborhood and then everybody's like wounded and arms cut off. I don't know, but this guy have him as your neighbor is like hey, how you doing? Well, I'm kind of having a tough day, all right.
Speaker 4:
Well, let me talk to you and make you feel worse when people tell you that all of the talk of the end of the pandemic is eugenics, because as many as a quarter million people are going to continue to die every year.
Speaker 3:
He definitely believes the made up CDC numbers People dying, why? Third?
Speaker 1:
Verse 10. Okay, sorry, I just couldn't listen to him anymore. He was getting them on nerves.
Speaker 3:
You're actively participating in eugenics. You're literally trying to kill people with COVID. Okay, if you weren't uplifted enough, take a look at this TikTok. You aren't able-bodied, you aren't, you're just pre-disabled. So remember that the next time you make decisions that put disabled people in danger, you're just hurting your future self. So if you can't care about us, at least save yourself. Man, that's weird. She's like starting off attacking you and then like saying, at least save yourself. Look at that. She is just a lover of life. Thank you for watching my TikTok. Let me just bring you down, tell you how to live. Here's my death stare.
Speaker 1:
Okay, so this is actually the clip I wanted to get to. I bet for all this nonsense it won't be in the main video, but this is the one like-. So they're talking about disability, right, they're talking about disabled and this and that, and you're pre-disabled and whatever. Whatever other stupid thing they said. This woman blinds herself on purpose because she felt when she was born that she was meant to be blind. It's real.
Speaker 3:
Watch this People now, just like doctors who are willing to mutilate children's genitals because they don't call it genital mutilation, they call it gender-affirming care.
Speaker 1:
Oh yeah, listen, listen to his reasoning on this. This is genius.
Speaker 3:
listen, it gets to be called affirming care. Yes, I will affirm you. I will give you care by cutting your arm off. These advocacy terms, ladies and gentlemen, not cool. And here is a quick look at a lady who suffers from severe mental illness. Yeah, she denies it and the people around her don't help her. She was a normal person. She could see, but she identified as someone who is blind.
Speaker 5:
I went blind on purpose, but I don't feel it was a choice. I don't think I'm crazy. I think I have a disorder.
Speaker 3:
So it was definitely a choice, and you do have a disorder, unfortunately. You need help.
Speaker 5:
I lay down on the sofa, two drops into each eye. My eyes were screaming. I had some drink cleaner going down my cheek, burning my skin. In the moment, all I could think of was I'm going blind, it's gonna be okay. I was so happy. I felt that this was who I was supposed to be.
Speaker 3:
Obviously nothing funny about that. That's a very sad, very sad situation and I think it's worth knowing, because this is the slippery slope that young people are on right now. The gender ideology, trans abled ideology it's all the same ideology and instead of calling it like it is oh, that's a mental disorder where you're wanting to do tremendous self-harm we call it an advocacy term where no, no, no, you're not harming yourself by blinding yourself, you're affirming yourself, it's helping yourself, not to mention, hey, doctors can help me. Now that we get these things labeled as affirming care, it's like a murderer saying, yeah, I'm not gonna kill someone, I'm just gonna affirm their lack of life. It is absolute lunacy. It needs to be called out because it won't stop on its own. Evil will keep going. Evil doesn't check itself. And this the mind virus, the societal radical leftist agenda that implants things like this in people's mind, and it is pure evil.
Speaker 1:
So if you've been living under a rock, you probably don't understand this at all. But there has been a mass just confusion on, like I said in the beginning, of truth and they changed terms. Like this guy said, they changed terms to make it where it's medically okay to mutilate kids, to medically and chemically castrate them and say that they're affirming who they are as Christians. If you're watching this and you're not a Christian, this doesn't apply to you, but I want you to listen either way. We have to. We have to really examine what we are saying, that truth is and what we are allowing to be okay in our culture, because those of us like if you're one of those, like little meek Christians and you're like I don't wanna offend anybody it's time that the people who know truth start off ending some people so that it will spur something inside of them or reveal, pull back the wool from their eyes so that they can actually see the truth. This is ridiculous and we have medical professionals condoning this, endorsing this because it is a well of wealth for them, money coming in, insurance paying for it, and guess who ends up having to pay for that? Us, because a lot of times they can't afford it, because it's hundreds of thousands of dollars sometimes to get this stuff done. It is ridiculous. We have to be willing to stand up for what is right and to speak out against evil. If not, then things like this will continue to progress. Like what's the limit here? What's the last call? Like, what is it that has to happen for us, for me, for you, to stand up and say something? What is it Like?
Speaker 1:
Time is of the essence. If you are a believer in the word of God, you know that the end is coming and Jesus is coming back soon. We've got to stop playing games and speak truth into people's lives in love. But we have to preach that repentance is necessary to be healed. Repentance is necessary for your soul to make it to heaven. You have to turn from your wicked ways so that, because it's not gonna enter into heaven, we have to be living that ourselves as Christians, so that when we do say things like this to other people, we are found blameless before God. That doesn't mean we're gonna be perfect. Jesus was the only perfect person. He was the one who could die for our sins. He was the one that was the one perfect sacrifice, the perfect, blameless lamb of God, spotless lamb of God that came, died for us. The veil was torn so that we could go before the Father and we don't need a priest to do it. That's biblical. Priest became pointless after that day. Sorry, catholics.
