Relatable With Allie Stuckey

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

Today we're celebrating Ron DeSantis, seemingly one of the only Republican politicians with an actual spine, hitting back against Disney after the company tried to use lies and propaganda to stoke opposition to the Parental Rights in Education bill. For some reason, the Left is still mad about this law, and many of them still actually think it's called the "Don't Say Gay" bill. However, as we've discussed, all the bill does now that it's been made law is to guarantee that schools and teachers cannot keep secrets from parents and that explicit discussion of sex and gender identity cannot be included in school curriculum. But that didn't stop Disney from raising a disrespectful ruckus about it, and now it's paying the price, as DeSantis has stripped Disney of special legal privileges that allowed the company to effectively institute its own government on its land. If conservatives want to win the culture war, or even just survive it, GOP members all across the country need to take a page from Ron DeSantis' book

Today we're talking to Naomi Schaefer Riley, author of the book "No Way to Treat a Child: How the Foster Care System, Family Courts, and Racial Activists Are Wrecking Young Lives," about the corruption running rampant throughout Child Protective Services and the foster care system and the woke ideology that's causing it. While many on the Right see CPS as a heavy-handed branch of government bureaucracy, and that is often the case, Naomi points out that there is a flip side to this situation in which CPS takes no action when they really should. The reason for this? Equity. The leftist ideology that's infiltrated CPS suggests that its workers keep a family together at all costs. And while that sounds good on the surface, the reality is that this policy leads CPS to leave vulnerable children with their abusers. Naomi details exactly how leftist corruption in CPS is hurting kids and what she thinks should be done so that CPS can get back to the business of protecting kids, rather than trying to satisfy some ideol

Today we're covering a myriad of topics, starting with the news that a federal judge in Florida has put a stop to the nationwide mask mandate for air travel and many airlines are now dropping their mask requirements. This is being met with celebration from regular people, but the weird authoritarians on the Left are, unsurprisingly, angry that the government is loosening its grip on the people. Then, we talk about the doxxing of the creator of the Libs of Tik Tok Twitter account, whose identity, location, and other details were published by Washington Post "journalist" Taylor Lorenz. The worst part is, Lorenz actually loves to complain about being harassed online while at the exact same time harassing others online herself. Lastly, we check in on old Joe Biden, who, sadly, has recently demonstrated more evidence of his cognitive decline. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (1:38) We got merch, y'all!

Today we're talking to Ross Kennedy of Fortis Analysis about the food shortages and supply chain issues happening due to world events like COVID and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It seems the sanctions that the U.S. put on Russia have had little, if any, effect, and this move has only pushed Russia farther into the arms of China's CCP, which is helping Russia circumvent Western financial sanctions. We talk about the consequences of this and what the emergence of a China-led group of nations would look like for the world of the U.S. and its allies. Ross also breaks down what's going on in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where a Chinese company is trying to construct a corn-processing plant. The thing is, Grand Forks is also home to an important Air Force base. We discuss how Chinese companies are able to do this and why neither high-level Democrats nor Republicans seem to care about stopping it. Then, Ross explains what's going on in Shanghai and why the CCP is imposing such a brutal lockdown on so many people.

This Easter weekend, we wanted to take time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus three days after He died on a cross & was buried. We'll read some Scripture about the resurrection morning, & reflect on what Christ's victory over death accomplishes for all believers.

Today we're talking with Texas state Representative Jeff Leach about the potential fate and innocence of Melissa Lucio, who is on death row after being convicted of killing her young daughter in 2007. Since then, a movement has sprung up around her, attracting criminal justice reform advocates from both Left and Right to rally to her cause. Many of these supporters claim that Lucio not only is innocent, but she was a wonderful mom and person who is just a victim of the system. Rep. Leach at the very least believes there should be a retrial for Lucio, as he says important evidence was left out of the original trial. We debate the differing sources of information and evidence and whether or not it should result in another trial. While neither of us would ever want an innocent person to be executed, there are serious questions about whether Lucio truly is innocent here, and we hash out our difference of opinion with Rep. Leach. --- Today's Sponsors: Cozy Earth has the softest, most luxurious, environmentall

Today we're covering two serious topics that the media would probably prefer that you just forget about: the Brooklyn subway shooting and the deadly lockdown that the CCP is imposing on millions of people in Shanghai. After a person of interest was named in the Brooklyn shooting, it was revealed that this individual had extremist, violent leftist views that he espoused online, which, of course, we aren't "allowed" to talk about because it doesn't fit the establishment narrative. Then, discussing Shanghai, we point out that the CCP's "zero COVID" policy is literally killing more people than COVID itself, as the residents of Shanghai cannot leave their homes for any reason. Many are running out of food, and there are reports of suicides as a result of the harsh measures as well. But, as we always try to do, we end the episode on a positive note, since we as Christians know that no matter how bad things get, everything that happens in this world happens to fulfill God's grand plan of redemption. --- Timecodes:

Topics include prepping for food shortages versus relying on faith, whether Elon Musk buying part of Twitter is a good thing, and why the Republican Party seems to have so much trouble connecting with young people. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs — membership kits every month for you, your kids, or anyone!

Today, we're following up on last week's episode about the dangers of toxic empathy; this time we're talking about the dangers of unfettered inclusion. Like with empathy, inclusion seems universally positive, and many Christians embrace it as an important value to have. But, as we discuss, inclusion isn't technically a virtue, and when pursued for its own sake, it can have unintended consequences and lead Christians away from biblical truth. --- Today's Sponsors: A'del Natural Cosmetics - enter promo code 'ALLIE' for 25% off your first order at AdelNaturalCosmetics.com.

Today we're talking to Natalie Winters, an investigative journalist for the National Pulse, about a very convoluted story and its wild implications: Hunter Biden's laptop. Back in 2020, just before the election, the New York Post ran a story about a laptop that Hunter Biden apparently left at a repair shop, and that laptop apparently had evidence of major corruption in the Biden family. However, the mainstream media snapped their fingers, dubbed the story "Russian disinformation," and did their absolute best to cover it up. Now, a year and a half later, this story is back in the news. Natalie explains why that is and tells us what she's found out about the Bidens' no-longer-secret connections to the Chinese Communist Party, Ukraine, and other wealthy and influential individuals around the world. She goes on to say that this is a perfect example of the kind of corruption that is extremely commonplace among America's top level of government and media. Lastly, we go over claims that there are biolabs in Ukraine,
