Why are there so many more young women of faith than young men of faith?

- Today Andrew speaks to the imbalance between the amount of women of faith vs. men of faith, toxic masculinity, and more! This is the last installment of my conversation with him! Thank you for watching!
I remember a guy friend of mine telling me once that women bring out the best in men and make them want to embrace their full potential. What a beautiful power we have to do good! Also, I am praying for Andrew and all of his intentions! 🙏
As a man of (admittedly inconsistent) faith, I think one reason is that the Christian faith is all about being vulnerable and opening up both to God and to others in the Church, which is something that a lot of men really struggle with - we're taught to be strong and independent all the time, never show signs of weakness or rely on other people (this is also why there's such a crisis around mental health among men). Any faith that teaches that we're broken and in need of healing, or that we need to lean on others in order to truly live, is going to be harder for men to connect with because it goes against our instincts of control, strength and independence.
Yep! Andrew and Daniel went very in depth on this very topic in our last video!
@@emwilss oh awesome! Will have to check that out :)
Loved this video! I asked my boyfriend about this same question, and he said that many young men are so caught up in tangible experiences that society tells them will “make them a man” and don’t seek anything beyond what they can directly experience with their senses. They’re trying to fill a God-sized hole with human pleasures. The idea that this will bring happiness or fulfillment is such a lie! Thank you Andrew for being an example of true masculinity ❤️ I’m praying for you and for all men, that they might seek to do God’s work in their lives. 🙏🏼
Being a 21 year old man, a lot of guys simply long for gratification / love without even realizing it. A lot of guys are told emotions aren't a sign of a strong man, so they learn to ignore / numb them down. They don't want to risk having faith because they could possibly be embarrassed / let down even more.
Luckily I have been able to realize that we are made for true love and fulfillment and joy. Once a guy encounters Jesus and learns that following Him isn't a compromise but actually living live to the full, they are absolutely on fire and cannot be stopped.
It's sad trying to teach this to my parents because they brought me to mass every week growing up but they just don't get it. Their hearts are numb, and they try to tell me to "come back to reality". Pray for my family and also my discernment into the seminary🙏
Indeed, Daniel and Andrew talked about MANY of the topics you touched on in their last video!
Will pray ! God bless you !
Praying for your discernment Connor!
I think it’s because of our culture nowadays, specifically the obsession with sex and the disdain for marriage. Since sadly few women nowadays expect men to marry them or to even treat them with respect before giving them their body, many men don’t see the need for faith, family values, and marriage when they can get women and sex for free. Things are changing and more women are realizing how harmful promiscuity is to your body and your soul, but because young men watch a lot more pornography than women do and face less consequences after choosing the wrong sex partner, it’s not so many men that wake up and change their morals. Honestly, the more virtuous women there are with standards, the more men will change. I no longer consider myself Christian but I enjoy your videos. Much love
I love how andrew talks about woman and they faith. Its so beautiful to see. Thank you Andrew. And also you‘re right girls and boys needed a dad or another male person in they lives.
I love how you called it the slow work of Christ. It reminded me once again that Gods timing is best and it also helps me with waiting for the right guy in whom Gods work has made quite some progress instead of hoping for someone to change who is still at the starting line with his journey with God or someone who didn't come to this point at all.
I feel as if young men yearn to be reckless and wild to a certain extent when they are young. Because of this, they almost rebel from the faith a little, but eventually (and hopefully) come around to it! I suggest every young man reads Wild at Heart by John Eldredge!
Wild at Heart is a terrific read for all men - and women! Hi Chandler!!!
@@emwilss Hi Em!
I’m not a catholic, I go to a Bible church. 😊 But thank you for this beautiful video! Manliness= gentleness, respecting women, loving others, loving Christ first, leading others to salvation through Christ! 😄💕
It would be cool if someone would write a book or podcast on authentic masculinity and being an integrated man. Most sources I've seen focus on what a man shouldn't do but rarely talk about what he should do.
I think Jordan Peterson’s work is great
I think Jason Evert has some books for man. You should look him up. 🙌🏻
His joy when he found out that you were going to pray over him and Zion praying over him as well ♥︎ ♥︎ ♥︎ Thank you both for this much-needed video. Praying for you, Andrew, through the intercession of St. Michael the Archangel esp!
I love this series so much!! At this time in my life I don’t have anyone in my life around my age living out a life of faith. It’s so encouraging to see both of you in different places but striving for the same goal!
So awesome! I'm part of a prayer group at Our Lady of Częstochowa in Doylestown, PA and we watched the Revive Documentary and Andrew shared and was in it! So cool!!! God bless, praying for you guys!
So glad you asked him how we can pray for him, I’ve been praying for him and his discernment but it’s so helpful to know what he especially needs!
I never comment on videos but have to say thank you Emily & Andrew - this is perfect!! Especially the part about the meaning of man in Greek being “to remember” - mind blown!! 🤯 The Lord was speaking to me about something similar yesterday, about how it’s important for not only men to protect women, but for women to look out for each other (since we know how society is) & teach those that are younger. I also think modern society thinks that the Bible is a book that oppresses & demonizes women, but throughout the Bible, as Andrew said, it’s crystal clear that Jesus loves women, as he highlights our unique nature, abilities, strength, faith, & beauty SO many times in scripture. We just have to value ourselves & believe the truth of what God says about us 💕✨
Oooh I love this!!!! I appreciate a godly man and I’m not even a Christian (I follow because I like you and like your messages ☺️)
Em I love EVERY video of yours! In each one I take something new, that fills my soul! God bless you! ❤🕊
Andrew is absolutely incredible and encouraging. Needed this hope he brought! 💗
Beautiful 🙏 I pray every day for there to be good men in the Church.
Emily! This thought crossed my mind as your son Zion entered the room! How fitting, that Zion came to pray with you, for our Lord says, "Where two or MORE are gathered in My Name, I am in the midst of them. And their prayer shall be granted by My Father." Wow! Amazing! God bless you Andrew, thank you for sharing your requests. You will be in my daily Rosary prayers and all seminarians! Much love from California!
God Bless you and your family. Love to listen to you both. So much love and faith. I am a 59yr old women and i am impressed with your faith and passion for our God and Church.
Zion is so Precious🥺❤️. I loved the conversation and I'll be praying with you guys.
I aksked God THE EXACT SAME question yesterday while praying. His answer was quick this time 👀😜 Let's all pray for more holy men in church as they are muuuch needed 🤗 Thank you for the video!
❤❤ Andrew Please start a youtube channel we need you consistently , Emily big sis we are blessed to have you
Thank you so much for doing this series! It is so great to see a man's perspective sometimes. I surely will be praying for Andrew in his vocation and of course for your family. I wish we could all just sit around a table and talk!
I LOVE the directness and the sweetness of this video! Thank you to you both!
Still praying. Thank y'all for the encouragement!
Thank you for this!!! Praying for you both and thankful for your witness!
SO much wisdom in 12 minutes! well done 💙💙💙💙
In my church community, there’s slightly more young men than women that are active in the faith, but I hear that’s not the norm. You guys are some wholesome siblings, good video!
My Church as well. I work in youth ministry and the boys are way more intense than the girls.
Thank you for this video. All men need to see this to know how much being a man can change the world. It's hard to be desiring that man of faith but not finding it. Prayer is a great answer to it. Thanks
I went to a christian school and barely came across men who were very blatantly/outwardly christian
Same
Men just need to be held accountable more. Like you've mentioned, there's a lot of fathers that walk away. But it's sadly accepted by everyone. If a woman abandons her child, it's a huge scandal. But sadly it's seen as "it happens" when men do it. Women are held to higher standards, that's why they're more pious I think.
When one of your favorite youtubers seems to read your mind 👀 so many women marry outside the faith because of this. For me, the first thing the man I marry must be is a Christian. Second he mustn't be too tall 🤣 oh yeah he must handle my obsession with sports (football in particular) and classic shows,movies,music. Lol
The exact same!
I’ve ALWAYS been curious about this topic!! Thanks for discussing it. Also, thank you for the encouragement to pray for the unbelieving men in my life. I can be so quick to judge those without the same convictions as me, but what if my response was prayer?? So powerful❤️
Pray for me that I find a man who wants to be holy
Amen
It’s incredibly difficult for men to balance desire of making transcendental impact on the world, while also understanding their role as the bride of Christ. And in fact the latter is the foundation of the former. Sometimes heroic sacrifices leads to self-idolising, it has been a perpetual struggle for me.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you Emily and Andrew. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wise, intelligent, and timely.
Just realized that behind you and Andrew is an overhead view of a city. Wow, took me a few videos! 😂
this has really interested me! i assumed it was because of the extreme lack of godly men as role models. i.e fathers in the wake of feminism.
I am a young guy that has recently found relegion, I am the only one out of all of my friends that is Christian or religious, I'm not sure if it's young men specifically, I think it's just young people in general that are not religious, I sometimes wish I had Christian friends to talk to though, my friends usually tease me for my faith.
Please do the aforementioned 2 hour segment!
Beautiful. Loved it.
P r e a c h 👏 ✨
Such a great video!
Okay LITERALLY I ask this question everyday.
Hello Emily, I'm watching here from the Philippines, just want you to know that your brother is my ideal guy. I hope i encounter someone like him here 😄☺️
Emily, I am 15, and have a crush on a friend of mine. He’s been raised Catholic (I want to convert), but he doesn’t agree with the Church on abortion or gay marriage. I don’t know what to do.
One of my male classmates just got baptized with his soon to be wife.
Amazing
Where can I find someone even as a friend. I need some faith friends :) and maybe a boyfriend too hehe
Omgness Zion is the cutest 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Women can help by raising a Godly son with their husbands.
I have the feeling it is quite the opposite. I know a bit more men who have faith and live their faith that women. As a young men I met in real life very few young women who live their faith.
Seriously? I'm always asking why I know so many virtuous single women but not men. Where are they hanging out???
Lol, you’re very wrong dude. Look at the stats and ask ANY church leader
Well,I'm sure men would say the same thing, I think it's also relative to where you live. And probably this opinion is due to the fact that both men and women look first to whom they are phisically attracted; Also most of the time the more attractive people are not interested in faith issues.
I love zion...he is so cute😘🤗
When your Christian and save sex for marriage, once your married how do you have sex for pleasure if you don’t want children yet?
Ethan, please take a look at Christopher West’s UA-cam channel. I think you will find all the answers your looking for, and more!
I’m sorry bro, but the same could be said about women. Wanna have ‘fun’ and ‘hook up’ while they’re young instead of getting married young. We Godly men only want simple things from woman: is she fit, cooperative, feminine, beautiful. Simple .. but okay modern women lack the 3 first already. Feminism had done a lot of damage in the world and sadly it’s alive in Christian community too.
This is not facts tho. There’s very view true Godly women too.
