I, I think there's, there's similarities and there's differences, and it kinda gets back to what we talked a little bit about in the last episode, where you have to identify first and know first what your mission is.
And, um, uh, there's a, there's a woman named Dr. Deborah Savage, Savage, and she once said, um, that men and women have unique missions that were given to them in the garden when they were first created.
And for, for man, he was the first one there, so he looks out onto the horizon and he sees creation itself, and it speaks to, Dan, you were speaking about this a little bit earlier, just sort of this idea of going out and conquering.
You know, that was, that was man's mission to go out and conquer nature and take dominion over it and name all the animals and just, you know, he, he had the horizon as his mission, so it was sort of charging him with going out.
And woman, when she first was created, um, she looked and the first thing she saw was another, her spouse.
And so kind of even understanding the basics of that, those foundout- foundational differences in the mission itself kind of then helps us speak to, okay, well what am I intended for? What am I oriented toward by my nature in creation? Um, and you see that in the woman's body and her receptivity.
And so because men and women have been duped by society, which of course has that undertone of it was ultimately Satan's design from the beginning to, uh, culturally, uh, create this wedge between men and women and, and to, to have them misunderstand and misuse their natures, um, we're kind of, we're kind of grasping, trying to figure out what does that look like.
And so for women, I think it's really trying to understand what does it mean to be truly receptive? What does the word submission actually mean? Does that mean just roll over and, you know, allow a man to just walk all over me? No, of course not.
Because if a man is oriented toward his mission, you're actually uplifting him and holding him up in his mission, supporting him in that endeavor, and he in turn then can protect and defend the, the sacredness of your nature as this feminine, receptive being meant to be oriented toward the nurturing and care of others.
And when we start to see the mission in that way, it kind of opens up all these possibilities for how I can, uh, understand myself, have confidence in that nature, and be able to live it out, not perfectly, because we're all fallen beings, but, um, in an attempt to live it out with, with, uh, a grace that can help us move forward and be more authentically feminine, be more of who we are called to be, and I think the same for men.
Um, wow, what a beautiful statement, that women are oriented towards others and men are oriented towards this mission going out to conquer, and that was very profound.
I, I think what, what I'm hearing i- if, if I were to diagnose this and look, you know, from the outside in and say, "Okay, so what is the solution for young men, young women, young adults that are seeking to find their vocation and then follow through with that?" Um, is that they need to first find out who they are authentically in the Lord.
Because if men truly understand what it is to be authentically masculine, whether they're called to the priesthood or the fatherhood or, or to marriage and, and chil- and fatherhood in that sense, they're gonna be extraordinary fathers and husbands and priests.
If women become authentically feminine as God has designed, they're gonna be either extraordinary sisters or nuns-
