Relatable With Allie Stuckey

In today's episode, we go over President Trump's shutting down of the United States Agency for International Development, or USAID, after Elon Musk's DOGE discovered rampant misuse of taxpayer money. Despite their role of providing global humanitarian and disaster assistance, they've been sending our tax dollars to DEI training in Serbia, among other, far more ridiculous things. We also go over World Relief and other NGOs taking advantage of government funding to promote illegal immigration in the United States. And in some culture news, producer Bri went to the Grammys over the weekend, and we go over the silly celebrity speeches and review our favorite red carpet looks.

Today, we sit down with Chelsey Painter Davis, host of "The Blind Mom Life Podcast," to discuss what parenting as a blind mother is like and how she uses humor as a coping mechanism and a tool to share her story. She tells us about how her blindness was caused by complications from hormonal birth control and how she struggled with her faith throughout that time in her life. Chelsey also shares how she had to fight for her son while she was pregnant with him when her doctor pressured her to abort him. Her son is now perfectly healthy and thriving. We also talk about how she, in her own words, is an "IVF survivor" and what that looked like for her growing up knowing about her "discarded" siblings. She also talks about what it's like living as a blind mom and how she uses her social media presence to raise awareness and be a light in the world.

In today's jam-packed episode, we go over the heartbreaking and horrifying crash from last night involving an American Airlines passenger jet and a Black Hawk helicopter. Our new Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says an investigation is underway, and our hearts go out to the families of those who perished in the crash. We also cover some theological takes from social media over what loving your neighbor actually means after JD Vance did an interview with Sean Hannity. We get into immigration controversy among Christians after a strange article from Christianity Today, and President Donald Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, the first law he signed as president. We also give our best breakup advice after a viral "Bachelor" breakup, and are new moms actually entitled and selfish for asking for gifts from their registry?

Today, we're discussing one of Trump's latest executive orders that bans the chemical and surgical mutilation of children under the guise of so-called "transgender" care. We are so excited for the return of sanity to the White House, and speaking of, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s first Senate confirmation hearing is happening today. We go over some of his answers to questions about vaccines and abortion, as well as what he plans to do as Secretary of Health and Human Services. And no, he isn't going to take away your McDonald's or Twinkies. But he does plan to get rid of those pesky pharmaceutical ads on TV. And we have an encouraging update regarding pro-life activist David Daleiden's court case in California.

Today, we are very excited to sit down with recently pardoned pro-lifer Bevelyn Williams to discuss her imprisonment and release. Bevelyn tells us about her arrest and subsequent trial and what her time in prison was like after her conviction. But glory to God, Bevelyn told us about how she was able to share the gospel with her fellow inmates while in prison and her experience reuniting with her husband and daughter.

In today's episode, we go over some of Trump's executive actions since taking office, including his proclamation that there are only two genders, abolition of DEI in the federal government, and pardoning of more than 20 pro-life activists who were targeted by Biden's Department of Justice under the FACE Act. Also, Vice President Vance spoke at the March for Life in Washington, D.C., and said that he wants more babies in America. Of course, the propaganda surrounding Trump's new immigration policies is already in full swing, and Vance set the record straight regarding the lack of proper vetting of these illegal immigrants. That didn't stop Selena Gomez from attempting to leverage toxic empathy against well-meaning conservatives by crying on Instagram, though. And was Ketanji Brown Jackson practicing witchcraft at the inauguration, or were her cowrie shells just a fashion statement?

Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, guest hosts today's very special episode. Ron breaks down all the latest happenings in Washington, D.C., including the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and why the Senate failed to pass the bill. We also go over Trump's executive order that would end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. And, of course, the New York Times suddenly acknowledges that unborn children are, in fact, children but only for "undocumented women." We also talk about the viral White House press conference where Larry Ellison, Oracle's chief technology officer, talked about using AI to develop mRNA vaccines for cancer treatment and why people are so mad about it. And Ron wraps up by answering some of your most pressing questions, including his best parenting advice, how to keep lifelong friends, and balancing financial success without loving money.

Today, we sit down with Pastor Andrew Sedra, founder and lead pastor of Echo Church in Australia, to discuss how the church in America and the West has been weakened by leftist ideology and why so many Christians are leaving what he calls the "feminized" church that appeals so much more to woke women than to men. Andrew tells us about what it was like growing up Christian in the Middle East and how Christianity in the Middle East is being completely eradicated. We also talk about what Andrew says is an "unholy alliance" between Islam and leftist ideology and how it is colonizing and taking over the West. And Andrew tells us more about Australia's COVID tyranny and why America is truly exceptional with its values and laws surrounding freedom of speech and religious expression.

Today, we go over everything that happened during Trump's inauguration yesterday, from Biden's weird farewell post the day before to some of the executive orders Trump signed at the end of the day. Trump made a lot of promises in his speech yesterday, and now it's up to him to deliver on them. And it looks like class and fashion are back in the White House, as Melania Trump and Usha Vance dressed to impress, turning the inauguration into a runway fashion show. But why, oh why, did John Fetterman show up in gym shorts? And of course, Carrie Underwood knocked it out of the park with her impromptu a cappella rendition of "America the Beautiful." All in all, we're excited for the shift in energy this inauguration brought, and we can't wait to see what Trump does next.

Happy Inauguration Day! Today, we sit down with Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, to discuss our feelings about Trump's new term as president of the United States. He also tells us more about Project 2025 and how the Left was able to fearmonger about it, when in reality, it's mostly just average Republican policy. We also discuss the potential dissolution of the Department of Education, and Kevin also gives us insight into how the Republican Party can best overcome its internal disagreements between factions. Kevin tells us how America-loving people can best reclaim our major institutions from the Left and how hopeful we can be for the good that the Trump-Vance administration will do for our country.

Today, we're waving goodbye to Joe Biden's administration as he departs the White House to make way for President-elect Trump. Of course, he couldn't help getting one last jab in at the incoming administration in his farewell address. But to commemorate, we go over our bottom five lowlights of his administration. Also, AOC went on a weird rant about "trans girls" after the House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. And Andrew Tate is once again trending, and we're here to remind everyone why, in fact, he is not someone to aspire to. At least Carrie Underwood will be singing at the inauguration, and nobody should have anything bad to say about that, right?

Today, we sit down with Dr. Leonard Sax, family physician and author, to discuss the effects of social media on children and what the upcoming TikTok ban means for our young people. He gives us some insight into the dangers that modern entertainment and the shifting American culture pose to children. We also talk about how bad gentle parenting is for children and how to actually enforce boundaries with kids. And what really are the differences between raising boys and girls, and what does this mean for early childhood schooling?

In today's episode, we're diving deeper into the ongoing situation with the Palisades wildfire in California and how decades of environmental activism and forest mismanagement led to this point. We also get into the woke DEI policies that contributed to the failings of the Los Angeles Fire Department and how illegal immigration may have also played a role in the fires. And is the delta smelt, an endangered fish, responsible for the lack of water available for firefighting? We also go over Pete Hegseth's Senate confirmation hearing and a few of his fantastic responses to the absurd questioning.

Today, we sit down with Jinger Duggar Vuolo, author of "People Pleaser: Breaking Free from the Burden of Imaginary Expectations," to talk about her new book and how she put an end to her people-pleasing tendencies. We discuss how she broke out of legalism and learned the true gospel as she sought to glorify God with her life and how biblical modesty is the standard to which we should aspire. Jinger also tells us how her people-pleasing ultimately hurt her ability to be in community and gives other people-pleasers advice on how to stop focusing so much on the selfish need to belong and how to let others into their lives.

We're wrapping up the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively saga in today's episode, and we get into all of the legal drama that has come out in recent weeks. We go over Blake Lively's legal complaint against Justin Baldoni and the allegations she made against him. And of course, Justin Baldoni responded with his own lawsuit but not against Lively. Instead, he filed suit against the New York Times. And is all of this the natural conclusion of the #MeToo movement or simply the latest Hollywood spat?

Our hearts go out to those in the Pacific Palisades who are suffering from the wildfire there, and our prayers are with the victims, their families, and the firefighters combatting the fire. Today, we're talking about all the juicy drama between actress Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni surrounding the production of "It Ends with Us." We get into the timeline of Blake Lively's allegations of sexual harassment as well as Justin Baldoni's PR team purportedly orchestrating a smear campaign against her. Of course, the odd, almost tone-deaf marketing strategy Lively seemed to employ likely didn't help matters. Strap in for this one, it's a wild ride!

In today's episode, we sit down with Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, to discuss all the ins and outs of the H-1B controversy and what this means for the conservative movement and President-elect Trump's upcoming second term. We also go over the connections between Trump's potential reforms to the Department of Education and the H-1B visas and the workforce in the country at large. Ron gives us his predictions for Trump's second term and his insight into why there seems to be so little resistance from the Democrats on his election win.

We're back from break! Today, we're discussing what is about to happen with the Trump administration in 2025, why we should care, and the role that Christians should play in all of it. We explain what conservatives want to see from Trump's first year back in office and how Christians should attempt to persuade the rest of the Right to the pro-life side.

Today, we're sitting down with Lisa Bevere, NYT best-selling author and co-founder of Messenger International, to talk about the ways that feminism has fundamentally damaged the roles of men and women in the culture. We discuss God's intention for men and women and how the disagreements between us stem from the Fall. Lisa tells us about how the Lord guided her in her marriage and how other women can listen to the Lord in the pursuit of a godly relationship with their spouse.

Today, we sit down with Lily Meschi, the director of partner relations at Iran Alive Ministries, to hear her testimony of coming to Christ after growing up Muslim and surviving an abusive, arranged marriage. She shares with us her story of how she came to Christ in the midst of that abusive marriage after a family friend shared the gospel with her. She tells us about what it's like to grow up Muslim in Iran in the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution and how women suffer under the oppressive regime. Despite everything standing in its way, Christianity is on the rise in Iran as more and more people grow disillusioned with Islam, and Lily tells us how Iran Alive is spreading the gospel to the people of Iran and giving them hope.
