Relatable With Allie Stuckey

Today we're discussing the disastrous HR 1 "For the People" Act, which is anything but. Rep. Chip Roy of Texas joins us to give further details on the bill, like how it would limit free speech and make our elections less secure — the exact opposite of what the act claims to do. The congressman also tells us about his "Know Debt" resolution, which he hopes will draw attention to our nation's out-of-control debt. Then, we talk about the (shocking, just shocking) betrayal of Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden by the Biden administration. In a move that no one could have predicted, it looks like our pro-abortion president will be supporting abortion via the COVID relief bill, and Christian Democrats are unhappy about it. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Club: Every month, Annie's Creative Woman Club will send you a brand-new craft kit to engage your mind and calm your soul.

We start off the week by giving an update on the James Coates situation. You'll remember that Pastor Coates is in trouble with the Canadian government for not following COVID guidelines and choosing to open his church to all, in accordance with his faith. The jailing of Pastor Coates is a sharp contrast to another legal case in the Edmonton, Alberta, area: A sexual predator with a long history of convictions was released from jail the same week that Pastor Coates was locked up. Under what logic is James Coates the bigger threat to society? Then, we discuss a recent article in the New York Times that points out the alarming idea that Instagram influencers are beginning to occupy the societal role typically associated with church and religion. The article points out people like Glennon Doyle, who, through books and Instagram feeds, give pseudo-spiritual comfort to thousands and thousands of women. --- Today's Sponsor: Patriot Mobile is America's ONLY Christian conservative wireless provider.

Today we're discussing the idea of religious persecution regarding Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church in Alberta, Canada. Pastor Coates is in jail right now for holding his church services at full capacity instead of the 15% capacity mandated by the government. A point of contention among Christian circles has been whether this qualifies as religious persecution or not. To give further details and commentary on the situation, Erin Coates, the pastor's wife, joins us. We address the theology of the situation and offer some encouragement for the future. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs: No matter your crafting experience, you can make a picture-perfect project you'll be proud to display.

Yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that Texas will no longer have a statewide mask mandate and that the government will no longer require businesses to operate at reduced capacity. Then, we discuss New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the #MeToo moment he's having right now. Three women have accused him of harassment, and unlike Cuomo's nursing home COVID scandal, the media actually seems to care about this one. And, it's time we addressed the much-talked-about exchange between Senator Rand Paul and Rachel Levine during Dr. Levine's confirmation hearing.  --- Today's sponsors: Built Bar: Stay healthy in the new year!

In perhaps its most controversial move yet, the Biden administration did not honor Dr. Seuss during National Read Across America Day. If we keep canceling authors for their perceived problems, will there be any books left to read? Maybe just the ones by Robin DiAngelo or Ibram X. Kendi. This kind of cultural revolt against anything "old" has been seen before in Mao's China, to horrifying effect. The progressives of today have a similarly utopian dream, but the road to get to the equity they want so much is laden with suffering. Maybe we should stop burning books, literally or figuratively? They want math to be more equitable too: Some teachers are now being told that it's white supremacy to look for a single correct answer to a problem.  --- Today's sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs: No matter your crafting experience, you can make a picture-perfect project you’ll be proud to display.

Today we're discussing the controversy surrounding Taylor Nolan, Chris Harrison, and "The Bachelor," as well as Trump's return to the spotlight at CPAC. Taylor Nolan of "The Bachelor" has long been a champion of cancel culture and a self-proclaimed expert on all things woke. But that didn't save her from the rage mob when it was discovered that she had some offensive tweets of her own from years back. Incredibly, Taylor shifted the blame from herself to society at large. This is a classic example of the double-edged nature of cancel culture: Once they set their sights on you, no amount of wokeness can save you. As Christians, we know that God has the authority to really cancel us for all eternity, but we find our joy in his grace and forgiveness — two traits that cancel culture is sorely lacking. Moving on to CPAC, Trump took the stage to deride the Biden administration's stance on school openings and the fact that allowing transgender girls to compete in women's sports is harmful to biological girls. Many at

Today we're talking about the Equality Act as well as Joe Biden's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra. The man who succeeded Kamala Harris as AG of California, Becerra has already proved himself to be a pro-abortion politician. Christian Democrats who say they are pro-choice should really know better; one can't reconcile an acceptance of abortion with adherence to God's word, the Bible. A major piece of legislation that Democrats want passed is the Equality Act, and it's about much more than who can use which bathroom. There are much broader implications in this act for kids and churches, and to speak about that, we welcome pro-life activist Lila Rose to the show. ---- Today's Sponsors: Built Bar is better-tasting than your favorite candy bar.

Today we're covering a much-requested topic: the situations surrounding Carl Lentz, Ravi Zacharias, and Max Lucado. What do we do when our Christian teachers and leaders let us down? Sin can happen to anyone, and it's always sad to discover that people weren't who we thought they were. Such is the case for Carl Lentz and Ravi Zacharias, who were revealed to behave differently behind closed doors. But remember, the strength of your faith shouldn't rely on our imperfect human leaders, but on God, who never changes. We also discuss the unfolding drama around Max Lucado, who is under fire for his views on LGBTQ marriage. Max ended up apologizing for his views, even though he still likely believes in the biblical definition of marriage.

Today we're going to break down some of the most important aspects of Judge Merrick Garland's confirmation hearing. Why is the attorney general important? What job does he actually do within an administration? Unlike the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh or Amy Coney Barrett, the confirmation of Judge Garland is expected to go relatively smoothly. We'll talk about Judge Garland's response to Sen. John Kennedy asking him about women in sports and what that means for gender issues going forward. How does it set the tone for what we can expect from the Biden administration? And, what about Tom Cotton questioning Judge Garland on the difference between racial equality and equity? Unfortunately, Judge Garland's response leaves the door open for critical race theory in government. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs: Every month, Annie's Creative Woman Club will send you a brand-new craft kit to engage your mind and calm your soul.

Today we're going over the corruption of Andrew Cuomo regarding COVID deaths in nursing homes. We look at the timeline of the pandemic in New York and the accusations of dishonesty by Cuomo's administration. Despite glowing coverage from the mainstream media in the past, Cuomo's corruption is finally coming to light — even though people on the Right have known for quite some time. Speaking of media coverage, we also discuss the differing responses that New York and Florida had to the coronavirus and how their governors were treated differently by the media. Then, we talk to Janice Dean of Fox News, who was personally affected by Andrew Cuomo's decision to put COVID-positive people in nursing homes. --- Today's Sponsor: Kitty Poo Club: Give yourself the gift that keeps on giving all year: a Kitty Poo subscription.

First we quickly address reports that Sen. Ted Cruz flew to Cancun, Mexico, during the major Texas power outage. Legendary radio host Rush Limbaugh passed away yesterday, and not a moment went by before the Left began viciously attacking him. We'll discuss the hypocrisy of the Left as well as some things we can learn from the late Mr. Limbaugh. Also, a Canadian pastor in Alberta has been arrested and is in jail for opening his church in violation of COVID restrictions.

For the past several days, Texas and other southern states have been slammed with record low temperatures. Many of the people and organizations in these areas were not prepared for the severe conditions, leaving millions without electricity. Frozen pipes are a problem as well, and there are heartbreaking reports of what's going on with our elderly in nursing homes during this time. Some on the Left, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Beto O'Rourke, have claimed that this is all about climate change and that this is exactly why we need a Green New Deal. Naturally, this is hypocritical of AOC and Beto. Is weather related to climate or not? Texas gets 25% of its power from renewable energy, and during this cold snap, we've seen wind turbines frozen in place and solar panels covered in ice, limiting the state's ability to return power to the people. Also, we discuss last night's town hall with President Joe Biden, in which he said some questionable things about minorities and children, but more importantly, he sid

North Carolina recently approved a new curriculum that would teach elements of critical race theory to K-12 students, despite the move being extremely unpopular. The state's lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson, the first black person to hold that position, has been very outspoken in his opposition to these changes to North Carolina's education system. Robinson was in turn "attacked" by the leftist media, who accused him of racism and worse. We speak with Lt. Gov. Robinson about the attacks against him and the new radical curriculum. Then, we discuss the CDC's recent guidelines on school reopenings. Spoiler alert: Not many schools will be opening under these guidelines. These guidelines are so crazy that even Jake Tapper of CNN and the Washington Post aren't happy about them. Seems like politics has prevailed, and teachers' unions contributed more to the guidelines than science and data. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs: No more trips to the craft store and no searching for materials.

Today, as we often do, we're discussing cancel culture. The "cancel mob" can never be satisfied, and more celebrities are being canceled for holding views contrary to the Left, because of course, you can never be woke enough. Gina Carano of the Disney show "The Mandalorian" was fired by Disney for supposedly "abhorrent" tweets, but the same standard isn't being applied to Pedro Pascal, her co-star. Pascal and Carano both tweeted images that compared America to Nazi Germany, but only one of them is being fired. Meanwhile, Rachel Kirkconnell, rumored to be the next winner of "The Bachelor," has been accused of racism for attending an antebellum-themed party a few years ago. Not only that, but when host of the show Chris Harrison called for cooler heads to prevail, he himself was attacked online by the Twitter mob. Lastly, Solly Baby, a company that makes baby products, has come under fire for cultural appropriation after seeking to patent its new baby carrier. Today's sponsor: Built Bar: Stay healthy in 2021!

Today we're taking a break from the news and focusing on the topic of love from a biblical, theological perspective, just in time for Valentine's Day! Christians don't need to worry about the ever-changing standards the secular world has for what love looks like, but rather we should be concerned with conforming to God's definition of love. C.S. Lewis wrote about four types of love: storge, philia, eros, and agape. Although there is a healthy and godly place for each of these types of love in our lives, they also present an opportunity for Satan to sow corruption. --- Today's Sponsor: ScoreMaster: Enroll in minutes & see how many points you can add to your credit score!

Today we're speaking with Melissa Chen, a writer for the Spectator and an expert on China. Melissa describes how the Biden administration's approach to China (or lack thereof) compares to what the Trump administration has done. Basically all that has happened so far is that Biden has reversed many of Trump's executive actions and orders regarding China, and his administration banned the term "China virus," so that's just great. Seems like the current president is more concerned with moral posturing around race rather than the geopolitical threat presented by the CCP. Then, we give a quick rundown of what's going on with Trump's impeachment. The Senate voted to move forward with the trial, but conviction is very unlikely. As we've said before, Trump is often clumsy with his words, but he definitely did not incite violence on January 6. -- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile: Get free PREMIERE activation where they set up the phone for you, and get a special gift, with the offer code 'ALLIE'.

Today we're discussing cancel culture through a theological lens. The leftist outrage mob came for a longtime NYT writer reported to have used the "N-word" in a meeting. From a biblical perspective, Christians don't need to be worried about cancel culture, since even though the standards of the world are always changing, God's standards aren't. Then, we talk to Professor William Jacobson, who created CriticalRace.org as a resource for parents and students to see what kind of ideology universities are teaching. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Club: No matter your crafting experience, you can make a picture-perfect project you'll be proud to display.

Despite cynicism from conservatives, many of the Super Bowl commercials were pretty funny this year. Some, like the Jeep commercial featuring Bruce Springsteen, tried to virtue-signal to the Right, but didn't accomplish much since the Right isn't a fan of Springsteen and the Left decried the association the commercial made between Christianity and patriotism. Some on the Left are declaring the day after the Super Bowl "Colin Kaepernick Appreciation Day," but it seems like the millionaire activist has a lot to appreciate himself. Switching gears to talk about a more serious issue, we delve into the effect lockdowns are having on the mental health of our kids. This seems to be part of a larger social experiment by progressives to break down long-standing facets of our society, like family and gender norms. At the end of the day, a top-down approach to governing goes against human nature. --- Today's Sponsor: Built Bar is the healthiest thing you'll do today!

Today we're excited to sit down with Baylor University professor Dr. Christina Crenshaw, who has recently made headlines for questioning the Biden administration's expansion of protections for transgender people. A small but loud group of students have been calling for her to be fired, but Dr. Crenshaw is holding strong against the cancel culture mob. -- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs have the perfect subscription box for both boys & girls.

A New York Times opinion piece recommends the Biden administration create a "reality czar" to combat misinformation. That couldn't possibly go wrong, could it? The right to free speech and the truth itself are a big problem for those with totalitarian aspirations. Speaking of totalitarian, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas has introduced a gun control bill that acts as though the Second Amendment doesn't exist. And, we take a look into the horrific allegations against Ariel Robinson, which the media has been strangely quiet on. --- Today's Sponsors: Built Bar: Eat healthier & tastier food - Built Bar is healthier than your favorite protein bar & better-tasting than your favorite candy bar.
