I want to put a worthy project before you and explain why I’m backing it, and why I may eventually have some personal involvement in it.
“Deceived: The Ruin of the Modern Woman: A Christian Exploration and Confrontation of Feminism.” Here’s the Kickstarter. There is a longer trailer on the Kickstarter, but here’s the shorter conceptual trailer:
First, the project itself: it’s a documentary by a Christian director examining the history and consequences of feminism and offering a biblical alternative.
Second, here’s why I’m backing it. I’ve known Les Lanphere, the director, for a while, and I know him to be both a talented filmmaker and a principled Christian man. I trust him to tackle this subject biblically and with intensity, but without unnecessary harshness or shock-jockery.
I also believe this is one of the defining issues of our day, and it’s one I’ve worked hard to address for most of my adult life. Feminism has obviously affected men and society as a whole, but now that I’m the father of three daughters and have a daughter-in-law, I’ve become even more concerned about what it has robbed women of: the beauty of their unique, God-given design and purpose in His world.
So, for me, this is a trustworthy creator tackling a crucial subject in which I’m personally invested.
I’m not yet sure to what extent I’ll eventually be involved in the documentary itself, but I backed the project for $300 today, and I’ll probably increase that once I’ve had a little more time to consider it.
In the meantime, I want to challenge 50 of you to back the project for at least $5 each. That may not sound like much, but it helps. And the more people who get behind the project and follow its progress, the more attention it can gain.
Even if you can only give a few dollars, you can play a real part by backing it, following it, and helping get the word out.
Wow loved the trailer.
It is concerning to witness a growing disconnect from traditional moral values in our nation.
Our only hope is that our nation returns to a place of faith and spiritual guidance trusting in God's
word. Reclaiming the covenantal family that we have lost.
I like the trailer on this one, which makes me hopeful, but I have some reservations about any Christian project on feminism. It's not going to be enough to address the lies women have been led to believe, unless we also deal with the lies men – even probably a great majority of Christian men – have also accepted.
The true underlying issue is that men are called to protect women, and men have failed to do this. Where are all the men calling out premarital sex in the Church? Where are the men shaming other men, for their immoral behavior?
Feminism has been around for a long enough time to become a big hairball of lies and problems, and all of us are guilty to some extent of believing the lies, acting in accord with them and propagating the lies further. So there won't be any easy resolution of its problems. Women certainly need to be called to account on many things. But I hope this project includes men's call to protect women, because otherwise it won't really help much.
