I don’t generally like much of anything Matt “I love being the wokest white guy in the room” Chandler has to say about male female relationships. But that clip and the following Twitter thread is a great example of people seeing what they want to see instead of engaging with what he actually said.
But to be fair, we must note that Michael Foster begins with “I don’t like the *subtext* of this video.”
Chandler says many good things here. It’s a shame he isn’t presenting the biblical call for husbands to be head of their households. That calling might actually provoke some self-sacrifice.
If anyone without the baggage of Chandler said these things, it would have been accepted as more or less accepted as biblical. The message wasn’t the problem, the messenger was.
Towards the bottom of that twitter thread is this question, which gets to the heart of whether Chandler’s message is a problem or not. “Is husband-leadership just learning what decisions my wife wants to be made, and then making them?” If Chandler is answering this question with a yes, then his message is in error. I’m not sure we can say definitively where he stands based on this short video clip.
Yeah, he’s quite the alpha when lambasting men in front of their wives, children and the rest of the world via YouTube….but he’s ironically telling them to be 99% servants/1% leaders most of the time.

Me, neither, which is why I said that the Twitter thread is more a reflection of the people who are commenting than what Chandler said.
Matt Chandler: “I want you to be more of a servant leader, ……….and do what I tell you!” ; – )
