Relatable With Allie Stuckey

Today we're talking to Andrew T. Walker, associate professor of Christian ethics and apologetics at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Walker has a wealth of theological knowledge on a variety of topics, from the biblical view of government to the role God intended families to play in society. We discuss how Christians should view government and what its true purpose is, according to the Bible. We also talk about the best way for Christians to argue their beliefs to a secular population and how and to what degree the government should reflect Christianity. --- Past Episode Mentioned: Ep 482: Children Have the Right to a Mom and a Dad | Guest: Katy Faust https://apple.co/3FnIHko --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise- use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're talking about modesty, what the Bible says about it, and the "controversy" surrounding Matthew West's "Modest Is Hottest" video. West caused quite a stir on social media with the now-deleted video and reignited the ongoing debate about modesty and purity culture. Although there are certainly some harmful aspects to purity culture as many of us experience it, the Bible gives clear examples of what God's expectations are regarding modesty. --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise- use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're adding to our "most misused" series with a discussion on Philippians 4:13. Many people use this verse almost like a good-luck charm when they are facing a challenge or test in life. But the true meaning of this verse is so much better than the self-affirming totem it often gets reduced to. By understanding the history and biblical context, we can find out what this greater meaning is. Then, to close out the week, we go through some listener voicemails about the recurring dreams of our audience. --- Previous Episode Mentioned: Ep 402: Is KJV the Only Way? https://apple.co/3zg7XG6 --- Show Link: Founders Ministries Church Search: https://bit.ly/2YXR9XH --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise- use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're talking to comedian and podcast host Bridget Phetasy about her life and how her views have changed over time. Bridget was more or less a typical liberal Democrat for much of her early adult life, before being unintentionally dragged into the culture wars. She talks about leaving the Left, how she navigates having heterodox views in an increasingly polarized world, and how her faith in a higher power has been strengthened after her amazing story of beating addiction, meeting her husband, and getting pregnant. **Please note: this conversation is for a mature audience** --- Show Link: Walk-Ins Welcome: Ep 92: Allie Beth Stuckey Thinks "Self-Love" Is a Dead End https://apple.co/2YUyNas --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise- use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we're leaving you with a monster of an episode before we go on hiatus next week. We're covering several important stories from the news cycle, starting with left-wing attacks on pregnancy centers by pro-abortion activists in response to the likely overturning of Roe v. Wade and how neither the government nor the media seems to care. We'll also talk about the Anti-Defamation League trying to push the idea that nearly all domestic terror attacks are "right-wing." Then, we discuss a crazy Twitter interaction with a pro-abortion personality who thinks abortion is an "act of love." After that, we're joined by Herbie Newell, president and executive director of Lifeline Children’s Services, who completely dispels the myth that pro-life advocates don't care about kids after they're born. And, as always, we try to leave you with a touch of encouragement before we close out. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (3:08) Vandalism at multiple pro-life pregnancy centers around the country (17:05) How is the Anti-D

Today we're talking about what's going on in schools with progressive gender ideology and how it's affecting families across the country. Our first story is about progressive outrage at a school that had an assignment asking kids to present a loving, biblical argument for why homosexuality is wrong, which of course has been the unchanging position of the church since the beginning of time. The Left is livid about this, but unsurprisingly silent about another school that sent out an assignment asking kids to write about "touching" themselves. Then, we welcome Rose Rabidoux and her attorney Luke Berg to the show to discuss her situation, in which her son and two other middle school students are being charged with sexual harassment under Title IX for not using a classmate's preferred pronouns. Lastly, we give an update on the nationwide baby formula shortage and how people talking about it have finally elicited a response from the Biden administration. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (8:00) Christian acad

Today we’re delighted to speak with actor and filmmaker Kirk Cameron about his new film project "The Homeschool Awakening" which will be in theaters June 13 and 14. We go through some of the stereotypes and common questions about homeschooling. Can you really spend all that time with your kids every day? What about your child’s socialization? You’re not a trained teacher; how can you teach your kids? And we discuss how churches can help encourage families choosing to home educate. Plus, Allie goes through MSNBC’s review of the film and — spoiler alert — the reviewers didn’t love it, deeming it "dangerous." --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (2:15) More families are choosing homes education around the country (6:30) MSNBC's review of "The Homeschool Awakening" (spoiler: they didn't like it) (14:00) Interview with Kirk Cameron (50:43) More encouragement for parents who might feel disheartened (52:30) Past guest, Sherry Clemens, is running for school board (RISD2) --- Today's Sponsors: Chamonix by Gen

Today we're discussing the horrific mass shooting that was perpetrated over the weekend in Buffalo, New York, as well as the response from the media. We go over the details of the attack and the manifesto the shooter allegedly wrote espousing a hodgepodge of racist, extremist views. Then, we take a look at how people are responding to this shooting and how it seems like some people only care about atrocities like this when certain criteria are met. --- Today's Sponsors: ExpressVPN works on your phone, laptop, & even on your Smart TVs!

Today we're talking to Delano Squires and Shemeka Michelle, contributors to BlazeTV's "Fearless with Jason Whitlock," about a variety of political and cultural issues. We start by discussing Republicans' willingness to prioritize the war in Ukraine over issues that are hurting Americans, like gas prices and supply chain shortages. It speaks to a greater divide between the GOP establishment and the people they're supposed to represent, as all too often the people who support America-first policies find themselves with little to no representation in Congress. Then we talk about the continuing media and liberal meltdown over the probable overturning of Roe v. Wade. In their desperation to gin up public opposition to overturning the decision, leftists are now linking access to abortion to the success of black women. That leads us into a larger discussion of why the black community keeps voting for Democrats in large numbers, especially considering that many of them hold personal conservative values. --- Today'

Today we're talking to pro-life activist Alison Centofante about the continuing outrage from the Left over the increasingly likely possibility that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. Protesters have gone to the personal homes of three Supreme Court Justices, ostensibly to pressure them into changing their minds. Horrifyingly, but not surprisingly, the Biden administration has refused to condemn this, and press secretary Jen Psaki even said that she encourages it. We discuss different ways to cut through the hatred and vitriol of the Left to deliver actual facts about abortion to those whose minds can still be changed and how it's actually Democrats' "pro-choice" policy that hurts women more than pro-life policies. --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles does the hunting for you & provides clothes that are effortless, easy, and flattering on any shape, size, age, or season!

Today we're talking about why we will no longer be shopping at Target. Although the company has had a history of promoting liberal ideas, now it's just gone too far. Target recently teamed up with two clothing companies to sell clothing that espouses transgender ideology, including clothing for kids, as well as clothing items like "chest binders," which can harm young women. We also discuss one of the biggest tragedies of the trans movement: how the actual well-being of these confused kids is almost always ignored by the people encouraging them to continue their transition. We examine stories from people who "de-transitioned" to live as their biological gender once again, and we also look at two tragic stories of parents who were denied access to their kids by the state because they weren't sufficiently "affirming" of the child.    --- Today's Sponsors: Healthycell is a new type of dietary supplement that uses a new technology called Microgel to deliver maximum absorption!

Today we're talking a look at the baby formula shortage that's affecting families nationwide. We've got facts and figures on why this shortage is happening and how bad it could get, as well as thoughts on how an inability to get necessary baby products will affect the 2022 midterm elections. When you consider the pandemic and the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia disrupting supply chains all over the world and add the fact that Baby Boomers are already aging out of the workforce, what you get is a recipe for economic disaster. Speaking of shortages, we also talk about the mysterious fires and explosions that have broken out recently at food processing plants in America. Are the incidents random, or could these be attacks with a specific intent? --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (5:44) Baby formula shortage — what's going on?

Today we're happy to welcome Pastor Brandan Robertson to the show to discuss and debate the issue of abortion. Brandan represents the pro-choice side of things and gives his thoughts on Roe v. Wade being overturned as well as what he thinks laws regarding abortion should look like. We end up debating the theological and scientific question of when life begins, and although things get a little intense at times, it's so important that Christians with differing views are able to come together for civil discussion and debate. Note: There are times in the conversation when Brandan tried to interject but his audio did not come through due to Skype settings. This was not intentional on our part. We pause halfway through the interview to fix this. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (2:05) How to respond to friends/influencers who have posted on social media, demonstrating they're pro-choice (12:27) Debate with Brandan Robertson (48:35) Going through John Piper's 'Ten Reasons Why It Is Wrong to Take the Life of U

Today we're talking to psychiatrist Dr. Sally Satel about how woke ideology and progressivism are working their way into the mental health field. We talk about the consequences of therapists and other mental health professionals using leftist ideology when treating their patients and how harmful it is when you absolve people of any responsibility for their issues and instead blame systemic issues and society as a whole. Dr. Satel explains how this happened and how this kind of therapy is ineffective at helping people work through their problems. At a time when mental health problems are ripping through young people, the last thing we need to be doing is feeding them woke platitudes from Instagram or TikTok. --- Today's Sponsors: Cozy Earth — for a limited time save 35% off your order at CozyEarth.com/ALLIE & enter promo code 'ALLIE' at checkout.

Today we're reacting to the huge news that dropped Monday night that, according to documents leaked from the Supreme Court, the court plans to overturn Roe v. Wade. Obviously, this is awesome news for those of us who oppose abortion. Josh Hammer joins the show to talk about some of the legal nuances of this story and how utterly unprecedented it is for documents to be leaked from the Supreme Court, especially for such a landmark decision. We discuss the political angle and what this means for the Democrats and Republicans going forward. Then, after we talk to Josh, we discuss the theological side of things and laugh at some of the ridiculous reactions the Left is having to this news. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (5:10) Interview with Josh Hammer (33:50) Allie goes through reactions to the news of the SCOTUS draft decision --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles — visit CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com & use promo code 'ALLIEB' to save 20% off your first order of anything in their online store!

Today we're reacting to and discussing Tim Keller's recent tweets in which he fundamentally misunderstands the political debate over abortion in America. We go through the tweet thread and discuss what he gets wrong and talk about the theological reasons behind wanting to ban abortion, as compared to whether or not other biblical tenets need to be codified in law. We also talk a little bit about Jen Hatmaker and the wonky racial theology she recently espoused in her podcast. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (9:00) Tim Keller's problematic tweets (23:22) Tim Keller on whether or not we should decrease abortion, according to the Bible (43:25) Can Christians maintain unity when they disagree on big issues?

Today we're talking about a couple of stories that demonstrate how the Left has to rely on lies and propaganda to function. First, we discuss Elon Musk buying Twitter and the absolute meltdown it's triggered on the Left. For some reason, liberals feel threatened by the idea that free speech might actually make its way back to Twitter. Although Elon Musk isn't the sole savior of America or humanity (obviously), what he's doing with Twitter is much more likely to have a positive outcome than a negative one. Over at the White House, the Biden administration has announced the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board, which will fill an alarmingly similar role to George Orwell's "Ministry of Truth" from his novel "1984." Then, we talk about the Melissa Lucio case again and how the people who swear up and down that she's innocent can only do so by ignoring facts and relying on appeals to emotion. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (4:35) Allie's reaction to Elon Musk buying Twitter - is this a good thing

Today we're discussing a few stories going around the world of evangelical Christianity. First, we discuss recent allegations against John MacArthur and his church involving a woman who claims she was counseled to stay with a husband who was abusing her. Is this true? How should we respond? Then, Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham joins us to talk about a recent documentary criticizing Hillsong Church and the drama unfolding around Tom Buck, his wife Jennifer, and Karen Swallow Prior. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (1:30) Allie's take on the situation with John MacArthur's church (14:43) Allie & Megan talk the new Hillsong documentary (33:40) SBC controversy between the Bucks & Karen Swallow Prior --- Today's Sponsors: Dwell enhances your time in the Word with their read along experience: big, bold text accompanied by beautiful background art while you're listening to it being read.

Today we're talking to Bob Woodson Sr. founder and president of the Woodson Center, an organization that aims to help grassroots leaders in the black community find real, practical solutions to poverty and crime in their communities. We talk about some of the myths about American history that the Left promotes to convince people that America is a white supremacist nation and what the actual historical facts are. Mr. Woodson also talks a bit about his faith and how Christianity plays a role in the work that the Woodson Center does. Then, we discuss specifically how Christian women can overcome divisive leftist rhetoric and find real solutions to America's problems. --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers delivers steakhouse quality beef, chicken & great seafood right to your door, plus you can lock in your price when you subscribe!

Today we're talking to former high school football coach Joe Kennedy and his attorney from First Liberty Institute, Jeremy Dys. Coach Kennedy has been locked in an eight-year legal battle with his former employer, Bremerton School District, after the district took issue with Kennedy's tradition of saying a silent prayer after football games. Despite Kennedy trying his best to work with the school district officials and find a way to compromise, they were insistent that any prayer he does must be completely out of sight, and now the case will be heard before the Supreme Court. Obviously, the case is ridiculous, as Kennedy has a First Amendment right to express his religious beliefs. But Jeremy Dys points out that this case could have dire implications for the right of free speech in America, as the leftist activists in the school system and justice system who stand against Coach Kennedy vehemently want to push any expression of Christianity out of public sight.  --- Today's Sponsors: Naturally It's Clean
