FOLLOW ME ON RUMBLE IN CASE I GET BANNED: https://rumble.com/c/tomasmonesThere is a man who believes in God and is losing anyway. He is not a bad man. He would tell you Christ is Lord and he would mean it. He goes to Mass. He would defend the faith if someone attacked it at a dinner table. And he is losing, steadily, in a way he has no vocabulary for, because nothing in his week looks like a defeat.That is the whole trick. The enemy does not need you to renounce Christ. He needs you tired, distracted, and slightly compromised, every day, for forty years. He is patient in a way you are not.You have been formed by something. That is not a question. You did not arrive at your opinions, your appetites, and your tolerance for what you watch by reasoning your way there. It happened by osmosis, slowly, from a society that has been catechising you since you were a child. Plato saw this 2,400 years ago and wanted to ban certain music from the Republic. Ask yourself what he would have made of your feed.Here is what most men will not accept. There is no morally neutral action. You are either being pulled toward God or away from Him, in every hour, including the hours you consider yours. Christ said it plainly and men have been softening it ever since. I want to show you what losing actually looks like from the inside, because it does not look like losing. It looks like a decent life with a few loose ends. I go through the loose ends. Some of them are yours.I speak directly to the men caught in lust, and I tell you something you will not hear from most Catholics. You are waiting for a rescue that is not coming, because you have misdiagnosed what you are dealing with. The despair you feel about it is doing more damage than the sin. I explain why, and what you actually do instead.In this video I cover:-what spiritual warfare actually is, and why ignorance of it is the enemy's first victory-the man who believes in Christ but never lets it touch his morning, his phone, or his appetites-how the world forms you by osmosis until your beliefs quietly follow the culture-the small unguarded moments the devil uses instead of grave sin-emotional unchastity and why you cannot guard your interior life-why lust and corn do not require a miracle to overcome, and what the despair cycle is really costing you-the rule of life, and the one test for every decision you make-what Christ revealed to St. Faustina about silence and humility-the 400 year old manual that already answers everything you think is unanswerable-why the body and the soul cannot be separated, and what that demands of youAre you seeking a community of like-minded men who hold the same standard you're trying to The Legion: Stop doing this alone, join a brotherhood of Christian men who will hold you to the standard you already know you should be living. → https://fftkingdom.com/the-legionFFTK: Come train, pray, and build with men in person. → https://fftkingdom.com/1:1 Coaching: If you're tired of knowing exactly what you need to do and still not doing it, apply to work with me directly. → https://forgevirtue.com/Find out more: links to all my social media profiles and content can be found here. → https://forgevirtue.com/links0:00 Why Studying Theology Matters1:45 The Reality of Spiritual Warfare3:19 How the World Tempts Us6:54 Belief Without Action9:16 Filling Your Mind With Junk11:22 You Have No Rule of Life12:29 Train for Martyrdom13:18 Lust and the Cycle of Despair16:18 How the Devil Distracts Me19:31 Start With a Rule of Life21:53 Books for the Spiritual Life23:54 Body and Soul Are One25:44 Are You Ready for Judgment
