AS A WHITE MAN, you understand there is something about Jesus Christ. At the very least, you understand that jews hate him and there has to be a reason for that. Maybe you understand that the success of Europe was almost directly correlated with their allegiance to Jesus Christ.
Let me just state one thing about who Jesus was and why that is so incredible important to you as a white man: Jesus was the God-Man. He called himself "The Son of Man". He is the direct connection between God and YOU. You don't go to God except through Him. There is no other way.
Importantly, Jesus repeats, over and over again, messages like "Come, Follow Me". In Revelation 3:21, he promises that YOU will sit on His throne, just like He sits on God's throne. In John 17, he promises that YOU will be ONE with Him the same way he is ONE with the Father.
Jesus didn't show up to show you all how degenerate you are. He came into the world to show you that you are meant to become like God and He was the means of doing so!
This is the essence of Christianity, boiled down, all the excess cut off and extracted. Jesus is the invitation to come join with the Father in His kingdom, not as a subject but as a peer. Jesus is our model. He is the superhero of all superheroes. The more you learn about Him, the more you learn about what you truly are and what you are meant to become.
Now, this word "FAITH" is so misunderstood in the modern world that it completely divorces us from our Christian ancestors. We think it means "I believe something to be true" or something like that, but this is NOT what the word means from the Bible.
In Greek, the word "Faith" is "pistis." You don't know this word because we don't use it anymore. Long story short, the word "pistis" is better translated as "Trust" or even "Allegiance."
Now, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense until you find out that the word for "Grace" comes from Greek "Charis". And this word is elusive until you understand how 1st Century Greek speakers would understand what is going on.
In the Patron-Client relationship in the ancient world, people had relationships with each other with "understandings". Suppose there was a powerful person living in a city. If you needed something that only he had, you had to ask him for it. It was very unlikely you had anything worth trading for, so if he were to give it to you, you would owe him practically your whole life. As long as you behaved like a loyal client, he would continue to favor you and do things in your benefit. But from time to time he would ask you for things, sometimes extraordinary things. All told, the relationship was one-sided. He had all the cards, and you needed those cards, and there was nothing you could ever do to become his equal or peer.
This is the sort of relationship you need to have with God and Jesus. He has everything you need. He is willing to help you with your problems, but he expects you to behave like a loyal client when he starts favoring you. And he is VERY explicit about the sorts of things he requires from his clients. For instance, if you are going to petition God for things, you had better help those less deserving. You can't feed Jesus, but you can feed the poor, shelter the homeless, and clothe the naked.
When you go through the New Testament, reading it in this light, you should be asking yourself, "What is it Jesus wants me to do?" and then do those things. All the while, you know that you are not a peer of Jesus, and you have nothing he wants because he has everything already. But he is kind and generous and more than willing to establish a patron-client relationship with you. Just don't be surprised when he starts asking you to do things for him.
This is the concept of "FAITH".
YOU have to do things, not because those things will earn you anything, but because Jesus expects you to do them regardless. Jesus wants to share with you things, and he is more than willing to give those things away, but he expects people he favors to turn around and help others, to "pass it along" so to speak.
As a white man, YOU have already been given wonderful gifts from God through Jesus. Just the fact that you were born white means you already occupy a special position -- and you did nothing to earn that! He just gave it to you for free.
In exchange, or rather, because you are grateful for it, you are REQUIRED to do certain things. Help the poor and needy, for instance. Nothing you ever do will pay God back for what he did for you (and even if it did, he would just bless you even more so you could never catch up) but God still expects us to behave a certain way.
Now, as to helping others -- a key fact is this. You aren't very much help if you are stupid, poor, and sick. You can help feed a lot more people if you are rich, right? Is it evil to try and become rich IF you are trying to do so to help more people? ABSOLUTELY NOT. If instead you intend to amass wealth for yourself and you don't intend to help others -- well, you can die with your wealth and what good will it be for you then? God won't be checking your bank account when he weighs your soul.
So the message is this: JESUS set the example. He gave freely. He asks us to pass it along. He overcame all things, and he wants you to overcome everything too. He expects YOU to help others overcome all things as well as soon as you figure out how to do it for yourself.
With this mindset -- I don't know how any white person can be depressed or unmotivated. If you are useless, then accept Jesus' help and become useful. If you are weak, become strong through Jesus. If you are poor, become rich for Jesus. If you are sick, become healthy through Jesus. Then take the things Jesus gives you and pay it forward. Help others who are useless become useful, weak become strong, poor become rich, etc...
THIS IS ONE OF THE WHITE SUPERPOWERS. People call it many things, sometimes they call it "empathy" or "sympathy" or whatever, but it is simply the idea that when we have been blessed with something good, we share it with others.
White bros help each other in the gym to get stronger.
White bros help each other get over depression and mental illness.
White bros help each other get rich.
White bros help each other get healthy.
White bros treat problems other white bros are facing as their own problems!
And what happens when all the white bros are healthy, strong, and rich? Why, you must pay it forward to the other races.
When whites are strong, we can actually help asians, blacks, indians, etc... succeed as well. They know this. They don't hate us, I believe, for being successful. They hate us for NOT being successful enough that we can carry them. After all, they remember colonial times FONDLY as the best times they ever had in their entire history. Once colonialism was over, THEN the real problems started, and they HATE us for abandoning them.
Tell them that right now, whites are in a crisis, and we need to turn inward to strengthen ourselves. However, at some point we WILL turn outward again and start helping the world again. Don't tell them that we hate them and want nothing to do with them ever again. Give them hope that we will one day turn outward again. They can be our allies if we let them. They WANT to be our allies because they know when we fight, we always win!
If they are truly desperate for help, we can teach them the ways of the white bros. We can tell them about Jesus and what pistis/charis means, and how THEY can enjoy a personal patron-client relationship with God but ONLY if they are willing to do those things God asks them to do, such as helping each other and treating strangers like family. But right now, we have to focus on ourselves, strengthening the core so that it can sustain the entire world again.
THIS IS THE BIG DEAL WITH JESUS. THIS IS WHAT FAITH REALLY MEANS. It means unlocking infinite blessings by simply being willing to pay it forward because Jesus asked us to do that. That's all it is.
All of this nonsense about heaven/hell salvation/damnation and whether Mary was immaculately conceived or not is irrelevant. At the end of the day, if your religion tells you to stop helping widows and orphans, you've lost the way and become like the jews. If that esoteric stuff helps you to work harder to be a better man and help more people -- do it. If it gets in the way -- ignore it. It's that simple.

I remember my truck engine blew up earlier this year and i stayed graceful about it. I was confident i could take the thing apart and put it all back together and fix it. I did not stress or worry at all. I took it as a challenge and spent one week and took the engine apart and one week to put it back together. And damn i can't believe it but i turned the key and it started up and it was purring at about 65mph just the other day. Did all that it the hot summer weather even had a few rainy days wrench turning trying to prevent tools from rusting.
There are other times in my life i would have raged, been stressed that my truck broke down, felt defeated, wouldn't even have had the confidence to even try to fix it, would have towed it off to junk yard or parted it out, worried about the cost to replace the truck, worried much.
What was different was my attitude, my trust that i could do something i was not an expert in doing but i would figure it out with patience, concentration, determination, focus. effort, irrational confidence in myself. One thing about leaders is that their confidence in themselves and their ability to lead almost seems irrational. Something people would otherwise think cannot be accomplished a leader comes along with some kind of irrational certainty that they will deliver the results.
My trust in God is much the same. Maybe even irrational. Even the bad things that happen to me I reason must be a lesson God is trying to teach me, or a challenge God threw in my way to steer me back to the right path. I trust that God will take care of me if i surrender much of my own will to His will and let God guide my life instead of trying to control everything in my own life. When I have to make important decisions or come to a fork in the road I ask God to help guide me to choosing the correct direction to go in my life.
