Relatable With Allie Stuckey

Today we're recapping the speaker of the House ordeal, in which Republican Kevin McCarthy faced 15 rounds of votes before he was finally elected. We discuss why some Republicans pushed back against McCarthy and what (very good) concessions he agreed to in order to get the votes he needed for the election. We look at Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' speech in which he misuses Scripture to argue that Democrats are doing "good." We beg to differ. Then, we'll use our vast knowledge of fashion to break down a few fashion looks from the Golden Globes. We discuss Jackie Hill Perry's recent decision to speak out against the Enneagram, calling it demonic. We explain the Enneagram's New Age origin and why it's just a distraction from our identity in Christ. Finally, we look at a Reddit post from someone who identifies as a trans woman claiming that he despises women because they're ... women. We explain why this has become more and more common and why this needs to wake people up. --- Timecodes: (00:55) Speaker of t

Today we're joined by Jordan Raynor, author, entrepreneur, and host of the "Mere Christians" podcast, to discuss the biblical perspective on work. We start by discussing what God thinks about work and how work was not a result of the fall, but rather a gift from God before the fall. But how does that truth change the way we work on a day-to-day basis? How can seemingly mundane work such as changing diapers or making a latte bring pleasure to God? We discuss what brings God joy in our work and what work will look like in heaven (yes, we will work in heaven!). Then, we talk about the importance of disciple-making and how it's more important than ever to think of this within the framework of the workplace. We discuss what "calling" means and whether God cares about what work we choose to do. Then, we look at the importance of doing difficult jobs with joy and why we as Christians need to be running into dark places.

We're back, Relata-belles and Relata-bros! Today, we're starting by asking the question: Should Christians concern themselves with setting New Year's resolutions? We discuss the need for renewed hope in addition to stability, routine, and sameness. Then, we take a look at an article on motherhood, which denounces toxic mommy culture and states that marriage and motherhood tend to actually be intertwined with happiness. Children are not deterrents to our happiness; they're gifts with the capacity to multiply joy and fulfillment. We look at a study on antidepressants, which shows that older white women account for the majority of people who take them. We talk about why this makes sense when we consider the kind of mixed messages that are shoved into their faces. Then, a little update from Clown World as we break down the most confusing headline of late, and we give an update on a speaking engagement and reiterate why satire is so important. --- Timecodes: (00:50) Intro (03:00) New Year's Resolutions (14:27)

Today we're joined by Monica Cline – public speaker, consultant, and founder of It Takes a Family – to talk about the dangers of comprehensive sex education for kids and how parents should be involved in their kids' education. Monica started out as a family planning educator for young people at Planned Parenthood, where she learned the tactics that end up encouraging kids to think about graphic sexual activities. We discuss why comprehensive sex education at a young age can actually pressure kids into having sex rather than prevent them and why "consent education" for kids shouldn't exist when kids aren't capable of sexual consent. Then we talk about the importance of parental roles in this sphere – how kids need boundaries and clarity from their parents and how many governmental institutions, as well as Planned Parenthood, see parents as "barriers to service." Then, Monica shares her story of how she had her son and came to Christ. --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic

Today we're joined by Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, to discuss the failures of teachers' unions and public education. PragerU just released a short documentary, "The Bigger Bully in School: Why Public Education is Failing in America," which exposes today's teachers' unions as highly funded and politicized organizations that do nothing but hurt the public education system and protect terrible teachers. And the worst part? These unions are not even hiding it. We discuss how they get away with this and what we can do to get involved and fight back for our kids. Then, we react to some of the worst teacher/school board TikToks we can find. --- Timecodes: (00:54) Interview with Marissa begins (01:18) The idea to start PragerU (02:45) Teachers' unions / The Bigger Bully in School: Why Public Education is Failing in America (11:50) Equity and lowered standards (15:20) How to get involved (21:20) Reacting to teaching TikToks --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles — use promo code 'ALLIEB' to save 20% off

Today we're joined by Jennifer Bilek, investigative journalist, who has uncovered the powerful individuals funding and pushing transgenderism in children. We cover powerful figures and corporations who have a vested interest in pushing this ideology and discuss how transgenderism unmoors us from reality, which only leads to the redefinition of what it means to be human through technology and medicine. We take a look at the Pritzker family, one of the wealthiest families in the world, and their involvement in the transgender agenda. Then, we answer the question of why it's so important to hold fast to true and accurate language. --- Timecodes: (00:39) Jennifer's research (12:14) Interview with Jennifer --- Today's Sponsors: Dwell — enhance your time in the Word with the read-along experience featuring big, bold text & beautiful background art.

Today we're ringing in the new year with a recap of 2022. This was a big year, complete with huge events like the war in Ukraine beginning, the Respect for Marriage Act, and Roe being overturned. We go month by month and break down the tragedy, clownery, and humor of the year, covering people like Dylan Mulvaney, Ron DeSantis, Trump, and Queen Elizabeth. We also look at some of the weirdest smaller moments of the year, like the slap heard 'round the world (Will Smith's Oscars slap), AOC's brave and courageous arrest, and Sam Brinton's wild luggage thievery. --- Timecodes: (00:30) Introduction (02:30) January (09:15) February (16:55) March (35:55) April (37:43) May (44:56) June (51:50) July (01:00:04) August (01:04:58) September (01:12:04) October (01:16:15) November (01:19:40) December --- Today's Sponsors: Cozy Earth — go to CozyEarth.com/ALLIE and use promo code 'ALLIE' at checkout to save 35% off your order! --- Relevant Episodes: Ep 555 | Canada's Freedom Convoy, Media Myths & the End of COVID? h

Today we're joined by Joel Berry, managing editor of the Babylon Bee, to discuss why satire is more important than ever and his story of finding Christ after being raised in fundamentalist Christianity. We talk about the very joke (written by Joel) that got the Babylon Bee suspended on Twitter earlier this year and why the outlet chose not to take the joke down. Joel shares his story of what triggered his interest in politics and theology and ultimately what led him down the path of giving his life to the Lord. Then, we talk about why some people leave the church and become ex-vangelicals and why others, like Joel, stay. We talk about why conservative humor is only made better when leftists get mad, and we finish off with a rousing game of Would You Rather. --- Timecodes: (01:22) Babylon Bee kicked off Twitter (11:20) Why is Babylon Bee so successful?

Today we're looking at a few research studies on what Christians do and what Christians think. First, we look at a study that shows younger evangelicals care more about climate change than their elders. We discuss why this is and how the media and leftist agenda have infiltrated their thinking. We turn to scripture to see what the Bible has to say about God's sovereignty over the Earth. We also look through some statistics on opinions on gay marriage in America and explain how protestants tend to be more conservative on average than Catholics. The last study we're discussing is focused on philanthropy, in which we see that Christians are giving more than any other group worldwide. Then, we're joined by Andy Schoonover, CEO of CrowdHealth, to talk all things health care. Andy shares the mission, benefits, and challenges of CrowdHealth and how the Christian mindset fits into this model of health insurance. --- Timecodes: (01:12) Evangelical views on climate change (14:06) Views on gay marriage (23:43) Philan

Today we're joined by Care Net president and CEO Roland Warren to discuss his pro-life ministry and how Christians should respond to and take action on the issue of abortion. We talk about how Christians should engage with their friends and family who are hostile to the pro-life perspective and discuss how we should view the life issue through the lens of discipleship. Then, we talk about how churches and pastors need to invest in this issue as ministry and why it's a huge problem when pastors think of the abortion issue as a political matter rather than ministry. Then, Roland shares his deeply personal story of what led him to advocate for men to step up in the face of unplanned pregnancies and why this is a game-changer for the issue. --- Timecodes: (01:34) Interview with Roland begins (01:55) What is Care Net (04:57) How do Christians engage with hostility to pro-life perspective?

Today we’re reviewing the craziest Tik Toks and clips we could find, so move on over to YouTube if you want to watch along! We start with Dylan Mulvaney’s TikTok claiming he carries tampons in case a woman nearby needs one. We dive into our theories on that. Then, we look at adults who need affirmation from kids, adults who are a little bit TOO into kids' things, and adults who get in public fights over masks. We discuss progressive Christianity, "stay-at-home girlfriends," and anti-white racism, which all seem to be abundant in Clown World. --- Timecodes: (00:58) Clip review begins (01:33) Dylan Mulvaney tampon response (13:10) Polyamorous woman needs kid approval (15:55) Furries in public (20:10) Furry at a pride event (21:39) Covid crazy gets angry (24:43) Woke church (26:24) Dating as a progressive Christian (29:40) Stay-at-home girlfriend (32:45) Anti-white racist (36:29) French protestors dragged off road --- Today's Sponsor: EdenPURE — get 3 Thunderstorm Air Purifiers for under $200 at EdenPureDe

Today we're joined by Dallas Jenkins, creator and writer/director/producer of "The Chosen," the first multi-season show on the life of Jesus. We talk about his career in filmmaking and how a career failure led to an important lesson that changed his life. He shares why he created the show and why it seems to resonate so deeply with people. Then, we discuss how much work truly goes into writing a show that uses the Bible as its source. The goal, for Dallas, is to ask, "What is biblically plausible?" as he gets insight from biblical, historical, and cultural scholars to craft the characters. We discuss criticism of the show, much of which has centered around skepticism about LDS involvement in the show's distribution. And ultimately Dallas reminds us that while "The Chosen" is based on the Bible and the life of Jesus and his disciples, it doesn't claim to be the Bible, as only the Bible itself is the true authority. You can watch the third season of "The Chosen" on the Chosen app. --- Timecodes: (01:14) Dall

Today we’re joined by Lynn Wilder, author of Unveiling Grace: The Story of How We Found Our Way out of the Mormon Church and host of the “Unveiling Grace” podcast, who is sharing her story of finding Christ and leaving the Mormon church. We discuss her introductions to the Mormon church and what led her to not just join, but become deeply involved in Mormon community. We look at some general Mormon doctrine, such as what Mormons believe about the Bible and God’s unchanging nature. Lynn shares the instances that led to the breaking down of her Mormon faith, from teaching at BYU to hearing her son’s salvation story. We discuss Mormon influence over Christian homeschool curricula and media and some questions we should ask about this. Then, Lynn shares the gospel that changed her life. --- Timecodes: (01:05) Interview with Lynn begins (02:30) Upbringing and joining the LDS church (12:45) Mormon doctrine / theology (23:17) Reasons for leaving (33:07) Lynn's son is saved (40:57) John 1 (50:00) Mormons in culture

Today on this very Christmas-themed episode, we’re answering the question: Is Christmas pagan? We look at John Piper's response to this question and elaborate on why, while some Christmas traditions may have pagan origins, it is very good to celebrate the birth of Christ and all it represents. Ultimately, like with all things, we want to make sure not to esteem Christmas above Christ himself. Then, we get into a controversial take: not sharing Santa with one's kids. Allie shares her story of finding out Santa isn’t real and how this impacted her view of the topic now. We talk about laying a foundation of integrity and trustworthiness for our kids. Lastly, we take a look at the White House's Respect for Marriage Act signing ceremony and Biden's statement that LGBTQ people are being "thrown out of restaurants" and that trans kids and doctors offering "gender-affirming care" are being targeted. We respond to these wild statements and look at why leftists have gotten so extreme, so quickly. --- Timecodes: (4:1

Today we’re starting off with more news on the Respect for Marriage Act, which is being signed into law today. The Biden administration has invited a drag queen (who regularly performs for kids) to the signing, which further proves that this isn’t just about moderate marriage policies – it’s a part of the sexual revolution tied together with these other sexual agendas. Another person the Biden admin has hoisted up is Sam Brinton, the former deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition at the Department of Energy, who was recently caught multiple times stealing women’s luggage from airports. We discuss the news that he's finally been fired. Then, we look at American Girl’s double down on its book promoting puberty blockers to young girls. --- Timecodes: (02:00) Intro  (05:17) Drag queen invited to the White House for signing of Respect for Marriage Act (20:48) Sam Brinton update (30:04) American Girl update --- Today's Sponsors: Genucel — go to genucel.com/ALLIE and get th

Today we're joined by Auron MacIntyre, Blaze News columnist and BlazeTV host, to discuss the fall of democracy, the Twitter Files, and Brittney Griner. First, we ask where the line is between voting based on our Christian worldview and theocratic rule and explain why our values cannot be separated from what they inform. We talk about how the elites are always going to try to shape our politics. Then, we look at the Twitter Files, which were released periodically over the past week and revealed inside information on how pre-Elon Twitter colluded with the government to hide information during the election and also shadow-banned conservative accounts they deemed threatening. We also discuss Yoel Roth, Twitter's former global head of trust and safety, who seems to have a quite disturbing pattern of beliefs. We look at the Brittney Griner prisoner swap and explain why descriptors put you at the front of the line for special treatment and ultimately why this was such a big virtue signal direct from the White House.

Today we're joined by a few different guests to talk about some big news stories from this week. First, Chrissy and Lee Hicks have been in the news this week after Duke University Medical Center refused to give their daughter Yulia, who was adopted from Ukraine, a kidney transplant she desperately needs. The reason? Her parents don't want her to get the COVID vaccine. While they were previously told the vaccine was a recommendation, it appears to now be a requirement. Chrissy and Lee share their story and how we can help. Then, we're joined by our friend Kirk Cameron to talk about his new film, "Lifemark," and the importance and beauty of adoption, as well as this week's news that over 50 public libraries, many of which have hosted drag queen story hours, have refused to allow Kirk a story hour for his new family-friendly book, "As You Grow," claiming the "messaging does not align." --- Timecodes: (02:40) Interview with Chrissy and Lee Hicks (24:29) Intro to Kirk interview (26:05) Interview with Kirk Camer

Today we start by discussing the American Girl company turning its back on girls. Recently, American Girl started selling a book called "A Smart Girl's Guide: Body Image" that actively encourages young girls who feel uncomfortable with their bodies to pursue gender transition. Not only does the book explicitly talk about puberty blockers for kids, it also has advice for how kids can deal with this with no input from their parents at all. It seems like American Girl went from telling young girls that being a girl is a good thing to telling them to simply stop being a girl if they don't like it. Then, we welcome our friend James Lindsay, author of "The Marxification of Education: Paulo Freire's Critical Marxism and the Theft of Education," back to the show to discuss several things, including James' recent return to Twitter, the drama surrounding an old photo of him, and why leftists can't stand to be ignored. We also talk about the leftist "religion" in general, how leftists believe they can build a paradise o

Today we're starting with an update on the Kanye West (Ye) controversy after some of you pointed out that the symbol Ye tweeted (which led to his eventual Twitter suspension) was that of the Raelian Movement, a UFO-based religious group. The story just keeps getting weirder. We discuss how this might tie into his statements of late and why his roots in black supremacy theology are problematic. Then, we look into 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, a case that questions whether Lorie Smith, an artist who runs her own design studio, 303 Creative, should be forced by Colorado law to create websites promoting messages that contradict her beliefs about marriage. We break down yesterday's arguments and explain why this is yet another monumental case to determine what free speech and religious liberty mean in this country. We finish with the tragic story of Athena Strand, a 7-year-old girl who was kidnapped and murdered by a FedEx driver. We reiterate why the death penalty is not only just, it's necessary in cases like this
