Relatable With Allie Stuckey

Today, we're answering a few of your questions. We offer some advice for those wondering if motherhood is part of God’s plan for them, and how do we square the command to be fruitful with an inability to get pregnant? We also answer the question of whether circumcision is biblical or barbaric and look at what evangelical Christianity might get wrong as well as why Catholics believe in the Apocrypha and protestants don't. --- Timecodes: (00:48) What if motherhood isn't God's plan for me?

Today, we’re joined by influencer and blogger Allie Lundeen, also known as Proverbs 31 Girl, to talk about her drive to make things beautiful and share some hard stories of loss. First, we talk about how everything can be made beautiful and how it doesn't necessarily take someone crafty to make a home feel comfortable and warm. We talk about what a "Proverbs 31 woman" actually is and why it's important to be resourceful. Then, Allie shares the story of her father getting sick with COVID, being denied certain potentially life-saving medications in the hospital, and being given a deadly medication instead that she believes ultimately led to his death. We discuss the darkness she felt in the hospital, seeing that COVID "precautions" were not about safety and empathy after all. We also talk about the death of her month-old baby girl and how to use hard stories to encourage others and remind ourselves that the testing of our faith is for our good. --- Timecodes: (01:00) Proverbs 31 Girl (04:10) Becoming a DIY p

Today we’re joined by Stella Morabito, author of "The Weaponization of Loneliness: How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer," to discuss how the Left uses social isolation as a political weapon and how we can fight back. First, we talk about how we are hardwired to connect with others and therefore why social isolation is such a powerful tool to be used against us. We look at Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's comments on the loneliness epidemic and explain that his plans for combatting loneliness actually lead us down the path of more government control and ultimately more loneliness. We explain why people get strength from the private sphere and why the government can't control us from the private sphere. Then we take a look at the drive to socially engineer our societies and relationships and how this was exploited during COVID by elites who never had to endure the consequences. We also look at the theological implications and explain biblically why denying our innate nature lead

Today, we're answering a few of your questions. What's the difference between submitting to your husband and patriarchy, and is patriarchy even biblical?

Today, we’re joined by Ryan and Bethany Bomberger, co-founders of the Radiance Foundation, to discuss their incredible stories and how they fight for the value and purpose of every life through their organization. Ryan shares his story of being conceived through rape yet given the chance to live. We discuss having sympathy for women who are walking through difficult pregnancy situations and understanding why some women might think abortion is a way out, though ultimately there needs to be a focus on the big picture rather than fear. Then, Ryan shares about getting sued by the NAACP for calling the organization out on its support for abortion. We talk about why Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry, the most systemically racist industry, seems to get a pass from the Left. We also talk about how gender ideology is a money-making industry and why it's so important to shape our kids' worldviews when they are young.

Today, we're joined again by Benji Nolot, the founder and CEO of Exodus Cry, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking. We continue our conversation with a look at how the Bible views healthy sexual relationships through the lens of mutual submission. We look at prominent conservative figure Dennis Prager's comment on porn and what it misses and explain why there is no such thing as ethical porn. Then, we discuss why you can't disconnect child trafficking from porn, as much as the pro-porn crowd wants to, and look at the impact on socialization of children when it comes to early porn consumption.

Today, we're joined by Benji Nolot, the founder and CEO of Exodus Cry, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking. We start off with a discussion on the fact that pornography is upstream from trafficking and that if people want to justify consuming porn, they also have to sign off on the atrocities that happen to make porn. We talk about why porn isn't just something between two consenting adults, but rather that it always results in objectification and dehumanization. We talk about how porn producers view men and women and how many Christian books on sex have even gotten the subject of a woman's responsibility in relationships wrong. Stay tuned for part two!

Today, we're answering a few of your questions. Should pastors be using AI to write their sermons? What was the biggest struggle of high school, and is being an adult really better than being a kid?

Today, we’re joined by Ross Johnston, founder of California Will Be Saved, to share his story, from being donor-conceived and born to a lesbian mother to committing his life to Christ and full-time ministry. Ross shared what it was like growing up with his mother and her partner and why it was so strange to branch out and experience the presence of God during his first visit to church. We discuss the role of fathers and how God became the father that Ross never had. We also talk about grappling with God's design for marriage despite his upbringing and having open conversations with his mother in the hopes that she will hear biblical truth.  --- Timecodes: (01:39) Ross' upbringing (12:28) Becoming a Christian (17:48) Working out God's design for marriage & purity (21:28) Not having a father growing up (22:58) Responding to gay marriage / lifestyles (32:04) Conversations with Ross' mother (35:17) Biological father / mentors (37:44) Future of fatherhood (40:47) California Will Be Saved --- Today's Sponsors:

Today we're talking with Scott Newgent, founder of TReVoices and outspoken advocate against child transgender "treatments." Most famously, Scott was an interviewee in Matt Walsh's documentary "What Is a Woman?" where she surprised audiences by being a "trans man" standing up against the trans agenda. Scott shares her story of deciding to transition, from being affirmed that she was a man later in life to getting multiple surgeries that have now left her in a complicated health situation. We talk about the activist business model and why she believes the trans agenda is far different from pre-2015, when people were advocating for the legalization of gay marriage. We cover whether she regrets transitioning and why she doesn't care what pronouns people use for her. We'll also ask the question: Will people ever wake up from this and start protecting kids? --- Timecodes: (01:25) Life since 'What is a Woman' (03:22) 'Transition' story (13:10) Commonalities among 'trans' people / trauma (17:55) Detransitioners (1

Today, we're joined by Liz Wheeler, host of "The Liz Wheeler Show" and author of "Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids," to delve into the Left’s ongoing effort to take over our institutions and how we might be able to stop it. First, we ask why the Left is so focused on coming after children and explain how communism, at its core, alienates children from parents and destroys parental rights. We discuss the concept of indoctrination and explain why it’s actually a neutral term and that we should indoctrinate for good. Then, what does freedom even mean, and is it the ultimate end or the means to something greater? Why is the Left better able to establish coalitions than the Right? We discuss these questions and more! --- Timecodes: (01:18) Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids (03:35) Why come after the children?

Today we’re joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," for part two of our discussion on Scientology and its many controversies. On this episode we're diving into the even darker side of Scientology, featuring government conspiracies and intimidation tactics. We discuss what may have happened to Shelly Miscavige, wife of the leader of Scientology, who mysteriously disappeared and hasn't been seen since 2007. We also look at some of the intimidation and control tactics that Scientology uses to divide families and break up relationships. We talk about the tragic stories of forced abortions and rape cover-ups that have surfaced regarding Scientology and explain why the famous "billion-year contract" is so detrimental to families and children stuck in Scientology. We also speculate why exactly Scientology is so appealing to the already rich and famous. Check out the Cultish website and Instagram! (Note: This episode was filmed before Danny Masterson's sentencing.) ---

Today we’re joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss Scientology. Because Scientology is in the news so often, we start off with an explanation of what it actually is and how it gets people hooked. We discuss how similar its structure sounds to multi-level marketing and the prosperity gospel and what was going on in America that caused this to boom in the '50s, '60s and '70s. We talk about the wild "intergalactic" lore of Scientology and how, similar to other cults, what actually goes on behind the scenes is never communicated to a potential convert. At Scientology's core, the problems it is trying to solve are the same ones we all try to solve, but the solutions are all man-made and the opposite of freedom. We offer a theological perspective and explain why Scientology and Christianity are so opposed to each other. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow!

Today we're joined by Dr. Voddie Baucham, dean of theology at African Christian University in Zambia, to discuss his 'Fault Lines' curriculum and why it's so important for the church to understand how to talk about race and social justice in a biblical way. We discuss why we need to define terms such as "social justice," that have led Christians to talk past each other. Why are race and social justice the topics that tends to divide the church, and what can we do about it? We also look at the difference between how somewhere like Zambia sees the topic of race versus America, and we touch on why disparities do not equal discrimination.

Today we're joined by a show favorite, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, for part two of our discussion on big fertility's increasing presence in our culture. We start off with the ethical issue of frozen embryos from IVF, or "souls on ice," and what to do with them. We discuss whether embryo adoption is a viable option and what the repercussions might still be. We look at a few surrogacy and IVF horror stories and explain just how strong and essential the mother-baby bond is. We also discuss Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni and her anti-surrogacy measures, which, despite being good measures, have been widely criticized.

Today we're joined by a show favorite, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, to discuss big fertility's increasing presence in our culture. We talk about California's new bill that redefines "fertility" to include gay couples in an effort to make insurance cover surrogacy in those cases. Naturally, there are some drastic repercussions of green-lighting a bill like this. We explain how we're misidentifying the victims, who are always the children, and why even Christian, heterosexual couples cannot let their longing for children be put above a child's well-being. We also cover why adoption is different from IVF and surrogacy and why it's so important to understand that IVF is never ethical. --- Timecodes: (01:30) Why are more people talking about surrogacy/IVF (03:50) California "redefining infertility" bill (13:13) Misidentifying victims (19:30) Infertile women (24:40) Celebrity surrogacies (30:05) Primal wound (33:30) Adoption (36:55) 'Ethical' IVF issues --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnatura
