Attention beta males: stop living with your mother. | Pastor Mark Driscoll

Overgrown, childish beta males are living off of their mother. There is a crisis in this generation of 30-year-old children who refuse to grow up and not just get a job, but make a career.

A man challenging men to be men. I love it.

I work full time and cannot afford to move out

[Patriot]

My mother nursed me, now i nurse my mother. The truth is family supposed to take care of each other. If you live together you provide equal effort for each other. This is an American thin.

[Frankenllama]

As someone that lives with his parents and is 31, it's not always the case. I literally cannot afford to move out, and it's not for a lack of trying or not wanting to. I have a full time job and unfortunately, despite having a qualification in a trade, it's the best paying job I've had at $4.50 an hour.

The other problem is that not all honest work provides.

Respectfully, it has a lot to do with that millennials are under paid and inflation on property is through the roof. In my area, people want your income to be 3 times the rent. But when the monthly rent is 1500 to 2k, that's a lot! Most people don't make enough to do that. We live in a world of low wages and high inflation. Mortgage interest rates are around 8% in my area! Sometimes 9.5%

tbf house prices are not quite what they were 20+ years ago. everything is so diluted these days.

Depends on the circumstanses. One generation can destroy family wealth, yet one generation can create millionairs. This talk focused on shame, how about encouraging building from the circumstances instead of promoting confusion.

That would go over like a lead balloon in Hawaii… Some have five generations living in the same property.

Americans abandon their parents. Other countries don't do this. If a young man stays home he better be doing chores for everyone else that lives there

[marcinance]

This is not always the case. Our son still lives with us, because of his developmental disabilities. Problem is, just looking at him you’d think he’s perfectly normal. And it would take more than a simple conversation with him to know that he’s disabled.

But frankly, his dad and I are grateful to have him here. I don’t know how we would have survived the last three years without him. We both have had severe health issues in these last three years that would probably have necessitated at least one of us being placed in a nursing facility - maybe both of us would have ended up like that - had we not allowed him to still live with us.

Life has its ups and downs, and it isn’t easy. But we certainly could never have pushed him out at 18. He was nowhere messed ready to be on his own as an adult. He’s 31 now, and just not starting to do things that a man in his early 20’s would do.

Please don’t paint with such a broad brush!!! Not every situation fits your description.😒

We are about to have a financial collapse where most will live with families or in camps

This is in danger of being unbiblical, God forbid, self-righteous. I live at home because I haven't left my parents to be with a woman, i dont know if I am called to that (if you think this is unbiblical, see Pauls writings on the joys of a single a christian life) The pastor is correct, that Christians arent supposed to be caught up in huper consuming lifestyle of self indulgence but should they be using shame to beat the meek, brainwashed young men who are been snuffed out even as early as in their mothers wombs.
There is a war on Gods people, and the solution is spiritual warfare standing on the authority of Jesus Christ

I usually eat right up this pastor's teaching, so I say in love, pastor probably would be better served to post biblical insight, or connect everything back to the bible in some way and hold to the truth rather than preach a homily on a generation he doesn't relate to.

Yes this also being a brothers keeper all of the time together with a group of people every single day with your same friends and family and people all around we know that we can give them and move on to full fill your destination but we must always remember that fresh Rivers always Flow into fresh Rivers and we shall be rooted and grounded into fresh Rivers that flow's

[jmaxwell]

Absolute truth and the only way they're going get out of it is through Jesus

Initially interpreted nursing for breastfeeding. Then 30 years was introduced...

What if your work is at home. I'm 23 and I know I need a job but I help my 90 year old uncle on his old roping property and go to town with him all the time in the mornings so I have to find a job that I can start later in the day but I can't do night shifts. Ideally I would work from about 1pm till 10 or 11pm but I can't find anything like that around here and I'm still working on my ATV to have a vehicle to ride to work. For most people what he says is right but some of us young men we just can't do that normal working stuff, we have to find other ways in this life

Iam a mother that live with my son, cuz iam old and disabled is that bad❤❤❤❤❤????¿

you need to seperate the cultural aspect to the biblical aspect. fundementally were called to be obedient to God and live are lives according. I feel we base manhood on results instead of character yet the bible looks at character over results knowing that God is the determining factor in Results. For example Hard work is mesured thru wealth. But some work way harder then others making less Wealth. Providing is seen as being self sufficient. But you can do everything right and be in a place that your dependent on someone else well we are all dependent on God. You can fall sick tomorow and be dependent on someone. does that make you less of a man? maybe being a man is not mesured by what you can produce but by your character in regards to God. Maybe that protective and caring instict is what providing really means and not the assumptions that you will always have the means to fulfill every need. Maybe work is not mesured by a 40 / H job but by not lviing idly balancing personnel etainement with the responsibilities God has given you.
