How Society Failed Gen Z (And What To Do)
from The Forge with Tomas Mones-Cazon · host The Forge with Tomas Mones-Cazon
Something went wrong with our generation. Not just bad luck, not just the economy, not just bad parents. There are specific, identifiable reasons why the men around us look the way they look and live the way they live, and most of them have nothing to do with individual failure.This video is a breakdown of the four forces that stripped us of everything we needed to become who we were made to be. Formation, challenge, responsibility, and the call to greatness, systematically removed, one by one, and replaced with something far more sinister than outright opposition. Comfort. The kind that doesn't feel like a cage until you've already been in it for years.I grew up in this. I watched it happen to the guys around me. And it wasn't until I started pulling the thread that I understood just how deliberate and how deep the damage actually goes. If you're watching this, you've already heard something calling you out of it. That matters. Now you need to understand what you're actually up against.In this video I cover:-why the most important transmission between generations was cut and what was lost with it-how education became a mechanism for extending adolescence instead of ending it-the role marriage and family play in forming men and why their absence is catastrophic-how masculine impulses get hijacked and redirected into counterfeits-what the church was supposed to provide and why it largely stopped-what it actually looks like to respond to all of thisMy work:https://linktr.ee/tomas.monesFit for the Kingdom (FFTK):http://fitforthekingdom.com.au/Are you seeking a community of like-minded men who hold the same standard you're trying to hold?The Legion is a brotherhood of Christian men built around real accountability, weekly coaching, and a network of men who are actually doing the work.
