"What's being reproduced?" ayyyyyyyyy yoooooooooo boom every argument won right there, man this guy is so good 👍 😮
I’ve been waiting for this episode for forever
This is so good!
We were at a friends house and a friend of the husband who’s house it was showed up who everyone thought was cool, as soon as I saw him my brain tried to figure out what was wrong with him because something was off and I couldn’t put my finger on it so my brain had a bunch of random things that didn’t make sense to try and explain why I felt uncomfortable like I was like maybe it’s just cause he’s a grown man with a chain on his wallet 🤷🏻♀️. A few hours later he pulled a knife on all of us at the dinner table and someone had to sit there and talk him down from whatever psychotic episode he was having. I realized my spirit was sensing something my mind tried to explain away and I have since stopped trying to explain away why someone made me uncomfortable and just trust it
This was such an edifying and inspiring episode. Thank you for this brilliant conversation Matt and Nick!
To Matt's question…private citizens can own tanks as well as fully automatic weapons. Some private citizens also own fighter jets.
Two of my favorite men on the internet! Yay!
It is very refreshing for me to hear men talk about their wives in this way – appreciative and loving. That's SO important …unfortunately in my cultural surroundings I didn't get much of that, so that is really really nice.
Comment for traction
I had no idea who this was? Don’t assume.
Mr. Freitas didn't talk his and his wife's divorced parents as much in his other videos. A question I have from more of a Catholic stand point though is, should Catholic adult children of divorce go through counseling first before deciding to get married?
Or should maybe marriage preparation with one's priest include more discussion on how one's parents' divorce may affect them in their marriage?
Great honest, wise, thoughful Christ-centered discussion on many important topics we're dealing with. Love Nick. God bless him & husband family
This episode speaks to my soul. I have demonstrated that I fear raising a son (he's two) that will be a brat so I lay down the law with a firm tone and sometimes an angry one. My wife has asked be to soften it, and I'm trying to do better with my firmness (something that will come in handy as I raise our daughter). God, when Nick talked about his daughter calling him out I can only hope that I never make the mistake he made when he was short with his children.
i can’t stand this guy online. but i never doubted his heart. good pickup
Nick Freitas is a good man, I registered to vote in Virginia (I was stationed in Quantico at the time) just so I could sign the petition at a gun show to get him on the ballot. Whereas the political staffs there are often people just trying to make their way into politics, his entire staff clearly has such reverence for him.
I wish I had heard a lot of this advice (and listened) 5 years ago. Could have avoided a very painful marriage. I fooled myself into thinking we shared values. Ignored so many red flags. Sometimes wisdom comes at a high price.
The notion of a flawless marriage or relationship is a myth. There's no set formula for success; what works for one couple may not work for another. Yet, I've discovered that there's always a way forward, even in the most challenging times. Five years ago, my wife and I encountered significant hurdles in our marriage that nearly led to divorce. Despite the adversity, we managed to weather the storm and emerge from it with our bond renewed and revitalized.
Cool
32:52 the 2nd amendment says "arms," it does not say "small arms," it does not say "non explosive arms," it only says "arms."

I’m an hour into this and they’re is so much depth. Nick is a very respectful Christian man and it is wonderful hearing Matt giving him the platform that this entire message deserves. Let’s all strive to do better !!
Husband and father here, this guy is fantastic!
I cannot overstate the level to which this conversation is vital and necessary for men to hear and to wrestle with. This has been the most convicting and at the same time uplifting exchange I have seen on any social media platform in years. My thanks and appreciation to both of you, gentlemen, for boldly speaking truth in love.
This was one of my favorite episodes. Thank you for this amazing podcast, it’s helped in leading me to a much closer relationship with the LORD.
Jesus, I trust in you.
I am newly married, listening to you two, with 43 combined years of wisdom on marriage is truly a blessing
This was truly one of the best podcast’s I’ve listened to of late. I have so much respect for both of these men and learn so much about faith and being a good wife. We’re a little unique because we both come from secular upbringing and he from an intensely broken home. We met at 16 and 17 and moved in together quickly and did all the things secular couples did. We got married 10 years later and while we actually did live biblically sound lives as a married couple we’ve only in the past 4 years becoming wholly invested in Christ. It’s a GIGANTIC challenge though for each of us to change toward one another (in positive ways) after 35 years of dealing with our marriage differently. I only want to be the help mate that I’m supposed to be and fail miserably often but Nick’s words today on marriage has given me so much ammunition I need to be more understanding of him as a man and also as someone who needs more grace than some due to a lifetime of hurt. His paternal Great Grandfather, Grandfather, Uncle and Dad (last year) all committed suicide so it’s particularly important for me to bring him up not down. All to say THANK YOU to you both. I feel that we’ll be better with Jesus and your words.
