It\u2019s just the way I roll. One of the central themes to my speaking and performing as a Christian comedian is to drive home the point that we believers come in a lot of flavors. One of the \u201cflavors\u201d I have been a friend with for a few years now is Doug Giles. For those of you who thought I was on the edge you need to get a load of Doug. He has his own radio show called Clashradio and to this day is the only Christian radio interview I have ever done where the host uttered the phrase \u201ckicked ass\u201d and wasn\u2019t referring to a donkey. Doug raised 2 girls, one of them named Hannah, is the girl that paired up with her friend and posed as a hooker looking for advice on getting underage girls into the country for prostitution. Their undercover video single handedly destroyed ACORN. His other daughter has her own website girlsjustwannahaveguns.com and a hunting show of her own. Doug has just come out with a new book \u201cRaising Righteous and Rowdy girls\u201d and I had to give it a looksee. This is not an updated version of the Proverbs 31 woman. Here we have a pastor, author, rabble rouser teaching Christian men his take on raising Christian girls. A Focus on the Family literary aid it is not. From the 1st chapter in making sure your daughter learns Jiu Jitzu to defend herself from creeps, to teaching her how to handle a gun, detect BS, avoid the date from hell, and how to drink appropriately this is not for the faint of heart. What I like about Doug is he is passionate about defending his girls when he is with them and when he isn\u2019t. This is real life, pro-active, masculine driven Christian concepts that come in a real world, \u201cearthy\u201d  context that doesn\u2019t mince words or waste time cutting to the chase. Some Christians I guarantee will take issue with some of his conclusions where as others will find them illuminating. I love all the flavors of tribal members God calls to His service as I learn from everybody if I\u2019m smart. It just so happens Doug\u2019s flavor comes in a shot with a cigar chaser! If you are a Christian father of a girl, check it out and get ready to be de-wussified!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have always been attracted to mavericks.

From his Nashville stronghold, Stine is mounting his crusade against these hypocrisies, all of which are explored in his highly anticipated 4th album\/DVD, aptly titled \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWUSSIFICATION!' \"You know what offends me?... Offended people,\" says Stine. A staunch supporter of first amendment rights and foe of political correctness, Stine asserts that rights should be universally applied. \"In a country with guaranteed rights to freedom of religion, its citizens are constantly trying to make faith in public spheres illegal, I am offended by that contradiction and want to talk about it as a comic.\" The strength of his conviction about our freedoms can be found in many places on WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from \"Merry Christmas Too!\" (the right to celebrate religion) to \"At Least We're Not France!\" (the responsibility to take action as a country) to \"Spank\" (the ability to discipline our children the way we see fit). What would cause the wussification of Brad Stine? \"I hope that nothing ever wussifies me to deny my own personal beliefs,\" he says. \"Brainwashed wussies have been taught that standing up for yourself and defending your personal point of view makes you a close-minded hate monger.\" Stine stops short of defending his point of view as the ONLY one, adding \"...one must also be respectful of dissenting belief while supporting their own.\" He is, after all, an inclusive figure who trains his comedy to attack ideas, not the people who embrace them. Stine's faith forces him to acknowledge the respect and dignity of all\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 even the wussies with whom he disagrees! Stine models his approach to comedy after legendary practitioners that he has known and loved over the years. Despite George Carlin's disdain for theistic beliefs, he has been a big influence on Stine. \"I always enjoyed Carlin for turning the tables on culture. He is an excellent writer that has endured for decades.\" More current comedic touchstones are Brian Reagan, Paula Poundstone, Jim Gaffigan and Monty Python, among others. Fear not, true believers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with his brand new album, Brad Stine is here to save the world from WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c one politically-correct, offended person at a time!\"","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/author\/bstine"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/223"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60\/revisions\/61"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
