From Backbone to Basement: The fall of Modern Men

There was a time when men didn’t flinch. They worked hard, raised families, served their country, and did not ask for applause. They did not need therapy apps or TikTok advice to get through life. They had grit, faith, and a sense of duty. You look at men from the Greatest Generation, guys who stormed beaches in WWII, came home, built businesses, raised kids, and went to church every Sunday. That was masculinity with a backbone.

Fast forward to today, and what do we see? A generation of men glued to screens, afraid of commitment, unsure of their purpose. Masculinity is labeled “toxic,” and traditional male roles are mocked. You have got 30-year-olds living in their parents’ basements, more interested in video games than careers. Marriage rates are down, church attendance is down, and too many young men are more comfortable complaining than contributing.

We Are Charlie Kirk: Love vs. Hate in Politics and Faith

On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. The aftermath was potentially worse, as many celebrated his death. Hate seemed to win, but vigils spread across the country like wildfire. Charlie’s memorial was a beautiful one, with a clear gospel presentation and a poignant message of forgiveness. Despite the hate, love never fails.

What Charlie Stood For and Believed

The most important thing Charlie Kirk wanted to be remembered for was his courage for his faith. Charlie was a Christian first. His worldview and political stances flowed from his biblical beliefs. More than politics or debate, Charlie loved to talk about his relationship with Christ. 

Charlie Kirk believed in the true gospel. He said the best approach to the gospel was to start with the “bad news” by talking about how everyone has broken the ten commandments: “How many are you violating? You deserve to go to hell. You will, unless you give your life to Christ. There’s only one way to be (saved). It’s not all the good things you did... It’s whether or not you have Jesus as your Lord and Savior.”

His tragic assassination has left a void in the conservative movement, but his legacy of living for a higher cause endures.
