When the Cost Is Truth: Why Men Must Stand Even When It Hurts
In an age where silence is treated as virtue and compromise is marketed as wisdom, standing for truth is a dangerous act. Just ask Dr. Greg Schulz.
For decades, Dr. Schulz served faithfully as a Lutheran pastor and professor. But when he dared to expose the creeping woke Marxism infecting Concordia University Wisconsin—a so-called Christian institution—he was exiled. Not debated. Not disciplined. Just silenced. Cut off. Locked out.
And yet, that wasn’t the end of the story.
God Doesn't Waste a Man Who Stands
Instead of retiring quietly or licking his wounds, Dr. Schulz took up a new post—training pastors in Kenya at the foot of the Ngong Hills. The man who was banned from the classroom is now raising up men to preach Christ where the stakes are even higher.
This is a reminder every Christian man needs: When the world slams a door, God doesn't just open a window—He builds a new house and hands you the hammer.
What Are You Willing to Lose?
Let’s be honest. Most men today live in fear of losing comfort. Jobs. Reputation. Friends. But if those things keep us from speaking truth, then we’ve already lost what matters most—faithfulness.
Dr. Schulz’s story confronts every man with a question: What are you willing to lose to stand for Christ?
Jesus didn’t call us to a life of ease. He called us to a cross.

Three Things Every Man Must Do Right Now
Get Rooted in the Word
Biblical illiteracy is a plague. You can’t fight if you don’t know the sword you’re holding. Open your Bible. Read the Psalms. Memorize Ephesians 6. A man without the Word is a man without a spine.Expect Suffering, but Don’t Fear It
Scripture doesn’t promise comfort. It promises a fight. Read the Psalms of Lament. Learn how to suffer like a man. Teach your sons that hardship is not the enemy—faithlessness is.Stand Firm and Speak Boldly
When DEI policies show up in your church, when your kids are fed propaganda at school, when your workplace demands compliance to lies—you don’t fold. You speak. You act. You lead.
This isn’t a call to martyrdom. It’s a call to maturity. It’s time for the third row of Roman centurions—the veterans, the fathers, the pastors, the men who won’t quit—to step forward.
The Real Battle: Language and the Logos
One of the most sobering truths Dr. Schulz unpacked was the attack on language itself. Postmodernism, at its core, teaches that words have no meaning. And if words mean nothing, then Scripture means nothing. That’s not philosophy—it’s blasphemy.
When Christian colleges adopt DEI, critical theory, or gender ideology, they’re not just shifting culture. They’re declaring war on Christ, the Logos. And too many Christian leaders are handing them the ammo.
“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit.” – Colossians 2:8
What Luther Would Nail to the Church Door Today
If Martin Luther lived today, he wouldn’t just hammer 95 theses. He’d be throwing DEI manuals and seminary syllabi into the fire.
And he’d tell you what he told the church in his day: Repent. Return to the Word. Stand firm. Suffer well. Teach the truth, even when it costs you everything.
Because our King is worth it.
Men, now is not the time to shrink back. It’s time to open your Bible, hold the line, and raise the banner of Christ. Whether you’re preaching in Kenya or fighting for your kids in a school board meeting—the mission is the same.
Build for the kingdom. Fight for your family. Protect your church. Lead your sons.
Build. Fight. Protect. Lead. This is The Patriarchy.
