Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we're focusing on the topic of womanhood and motherhood and how the progressive Left dilutes what those things mean. Rachel Levine, the assistant secretary of HHS, who is a man living as a woman, was recently awarded the rank of four-star admiral because ... reasons. The media are all aflutter over this, fawning over what they call either the first openly trans four-star admiral or the first woman four-star admiral. Even though those things contradict each other. We discuss all the reasons this is ridiculous and also the biblical perspective that Christians use to approach issues regarding gender. Also, famous...

Today we're talking to author and journalist Michael Shellenberger, who has been drawing attention to the disaster zone that is San Francisco. Shellenberger wrote a book on the subject, "San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities," and explains how he was originally pushing for progressive policies until he saw their real-world effects. We discuss several problems plaguing the city, from homelessness to drugs to homicide. Shellenberger also details the history and destructive philosophy that led San Francisco to its current state. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Intro (9:08) Interview with Michael Shellenberger (57:03) Outro --- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider — th...

Today we start by discussing some of the problems with "Big Eva," the large industry at work within evangelicalism. While the people at the top of these institutions remain true to some biblical beliefs, like the biblical definition of gender, they have strayed into the trap of social justice on other issues like systemic racism. This was demonstrated after Francis Collins resigned from his position as head of the NIH. Although Collins identifies as a Christian, he oversaw horrific experiments involving stem cells from babies from terminated pregnancies, something no Christian should support. Despite this, many figures in Big Eva...

Today we're discussing theology and how the current moment we are in politically and culturally is so much more than just Right vs. Left or Republicans vs. Democrats. On both sides you'll find professing Christians who don't actually keep the word of God in their hearts, and this is a reminder that the faith Christians have in God is a more important bond than our political affiliations. While debates about mandates, guns, or communism are important, they pale in comparison to the spiritual battle that we are called to take part in. Then, at the end, we have a fun...

Today we're talking to Dr. Pierre Kory, president of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, who has dedicated much of his time to spreading accurate information about COVID and ways to treat the virus. Specifically, Dr. Kory is adamant about correcting the record on ivermectin, which the mainstream media has dubbed nothing more than "horse dewormer." However, the situation is much more nuanced than that, and Dr. Kory explains how the drug works and how it interacts with COVID. We also discuss the deep corruption in the medical industry and the coordinated effort from these major companies to spread d...

Today we're talking to Ross Kennedy, an expert in worldwide shipping and supply lines. There are lots of cargo ships just off the coast of America, but they're not able to dock and unload their goods, and in turn this is resulting in shortages all over the nation. Kennedy explains how this happened and how delicate our system really is. COVID really threw a wrench into the works of our supply lines, and a year later we're really starting to see the effects. Kennedy also points out how America's dependance on China makes situations like this worse and offers some...

We start today by discussing two high-profile comedians, Dave Chappelle and Joe Rogan, who have and still are experiencing massive fame and success despite what the Left would call their "problematic" opinions. Neither of these comics are willing to bend the knee when it comes to leftist gender ideology, and progressives can't stand that. There's also the Southwest Airlines story, in which workers walked off the job to protest their company's vaccine mandate. The company tried to cover it up, blaming the weather, but anyone with a brain knows that's not true. Through all of this, how should Christians be...

Today we're talking with journalist Chris Rufo about the pandemic of critical race theory in schools. All over the country, parents are waking up to the leftist indoctrination their kids are receiving in the classroom and are rightly speaking up about it. In response, the federal government will now be looking into parents who disrupt school board meetings the same way they would look into a potential terrorist. At the same time, they'll still try to tell you that CRT isn't taught in schools, but the truth is out. Now's the time to double down and make absolutely sure that...

Today we're discussing the Facebook whistleblower situation with journalist & Senior Director of Policy for the Conservative Partnership Institute, Rachel Bovard. Recently, former Facebook employee Frances Haugen shares at a Senate hearing that Facebook knows their platforms are harmful to teenagers, but they don't care. However, conveniently for the Democrats, this whistleblower is suggesting that the solution is more government censorship. While this is definitely not the answer, the information she's made public should still be acted upon, and Rachel provides some free-market solutions to Facebook that don't restrict free speech. --- Timecodes: 0:00 - 8:28 - Intro 8:28 - 31:10 - Interview with Rachel...

We start today by talking about the Left's rabid desire to get Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" spending package passed. Several activists followed Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema into a restroom to harass her for having reservations about the bill. Then, we discuss another proposed bill from a Democrat that would require vasectomies for "inseminators" once they have three kids or turn 40. The best part is, they really think it makes some kind of profound point about the "tyranny" of pro-life legislation. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs have an amazing selection of hobbies to choose from: crocheting, knitting, cardmaking, jewelry-making...

Today we're taking a rest from all the craziness in the news to celebrate 500 episodes of Relatable! We start off by telling the story of how Allie got started in media in the first place, all the way back in 2015 (0:00 - 25:48). Then, we play some of your voicemails that were sent to us, to hear about what Relatable has meant to y'all and how the show has changed your mind on some topics (or not) (25:48 - 47:39). We also meet the behind-the scenes team of Beth, Dillon, and Mark, who produce, edit, and direct the show (47:39 - 58:00). Lastly, we have some...

Today we're very excited to be speaking with Jonathan Isaac, forward for the NBA's Orlando Magic. Jonathan is an outspoken Christian and has gone viral once or twice for some of the political stances he has taken over the past year. Most recently, he's been in the Left's crosshairs for daring to ask questions about the COVID-19 vaccine. We discuss Jonathan's faith and how it plays into the choices he makes as well as all the problems and propaganda surrounding COVID-19 and the vaccine. Specifically, why is natural immunity treated like a swear word by the mainstream media and the...

Today we're talking to Benjamin Nolot, the founder and CEO of Exodus Cry, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking. Nolot has a new documentary being released called "Raised on Porn," which aims to expose the harmful effects that pornographic material has on kids. We discuss the biological effect of adult content on young brains, as well as the ways it normalizes abusive behavior among young men. --- Today's Sponsors: Canva is a design platform that empowers you to create & share stunning content in just a few clicks.

Today we start off by talking to National Review writer Alexandra DeSanctis about the Women's Health Protection Act. DeSanctis closely follows the progressive pro-abortion movement and has all the relevant facts about this bill and how it really just exists to codify a "right" to abortion in law. Then, we go over some of the actual text of the bill and discuss the horrific reality of abortion and what the procedure actually entails. --- Today's Sponsors: Chamonix technology has a new Genucel serum with plant stem cells to help with bags and puffiness under the eyes for both men & women...

Today we're going over more data on COVID that goes against the mainstream narrative. The Left is still intent on forcing kids in schools to wear masks all day, but there just isn't any data to suggest that will help anyone, and in fact it's more likely to do harm to kids. Then, we discuss New York Governor Kathy Hochul's speech in which she called vaccinated people "the smart ones" and called on her audience to be her "apostles" for the vaccine. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs — making things with your hands is so good for you! It's therapeutic & str...

Today we're talking to the subject of a somewhat viral video, Sherry Clemens. Sherry is attracting attention after a video of her speaking at a school board meeting, bringing attention to the sexually explicit material that was available for schoolkids to read in her kids' class. We'll discuss what her daughter showed her that led Sherry to go before the school board, as we also discuss "Social Emotional Learning," a progressive activist program that is probably in your kids' school right now. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs are a fantastic way to build lasting memories with your kids while...

Today we're interviewing Blake Masters, a candidate for one of Arizona's two U.S. Senate seats. Masters is part of a new wave of Republicans running for office around the country who are promising to actually push back against the left, unlike many establishment Republicans who are in office currently. We discuss what made him decide to run, as well as his stance on several issues like vaccine mandates, Big Tech censorship, the threat of China, and abortion. --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles does the clothes hunting for you & provide clothes that are effortlessly, easy, and flattering on...

Today we're taking a break from the news cycle to offer biblical encouragement to anyone feeling worn out by the weight of the world. As Christians, we get to take solace in the fact that everything that happens, good or bad, happens within God's sovereign will. This means that, even when times are hard or when depression and anxiety rear their heads, we always have a reason to rejoice. --- Today's Sponsors: Reliefband is the #1 FDA-cleared anti-nausea wristband that has been clinically proven to quickly relieve & effectively prevent nausea & vomiting associated with motion sickness, anxiety, migraines, morning sickness, chemotherapy, & so...

Today we're talking about the continuing humanitarian crisis unfolding at our southern border. Thousands upon thousands of Haitian migrants are camping out under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, and the misinformation about what's really going on is rampant. To help us get the story straight, we welcome U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) back to the show. Rep. Roy has been very outspoken about the border crisis and has the facts about the sheer number of migrants seeking to cross into the U.S. The congressman also has insight on the horrific ordeals that migrants are too often subject...

Today we're going over more of the COVID hypocrisy that's coming from the government and media. Whether it's the Biden administration denying monoclonal antibody treatments to the states that need them in the name of "equity" or local pharmacies refusing to fill prescriptions for ivermectin for political reasons, the ideological callousness from the left is just going to hurt more people in addition to whatever COVID would do on its own. Some people have become completely devoid of reason, with face masks becoming more a symbol of loyalty to the progressive cult than a measure against viral spread. --- Today's...

Today we're adding to our "most misused" series with a discussion on Philippians 4:13. Many people use this verse almost like a good-luck charm when they are facing a challenge or test in life. But the true meaning of this verse is so much better than the self-affirming totem it often gets reduced to. By understanding the history and biblical context, we can find out what this greater meaning is. Then, to close out the week, we go through some listener voicemails about the recurring dreams of our audience. --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers' product is 100% American. When you buy your...

We start today by talking about the California recall election, in which current governor Gavin Newsom was not recalled. It's a shame, but realistically, we all knew it was a long shot. What's really sad is that the majority of Californians signaled their content with the leadership that's running their state into the ground. Then, we discuss a recent Instagram post by self-help influencer Brené Brown. She basically came out of the closet as a far-leftist, and her post was an unhinged and baseless rant about the state of politics in Texas. --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers has traveled the U...

Today we're talking to Justin Haskins of the Heartland Institute to get an update on what's going on with the Great Reset. Does Joe Biden's recent vaccine mandate play into the World Economic Forum's initiative to "reset" capitalism? What about all the other things he's done that put our nation last? In other geopolitical issues, Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan has only served to empower our enemies like China and Russia. Back at home, AOC went to the Met Gala in a dress that read, without a shred of irony, "tax the rich." Haskins explains why she's actually getting played...

​Today we're covering some of the worst hot takes that came from the Left on 9/11 this year, including one from former President George W. Bush. Comparing the attacks on 9/11 to the Capitol riot in January is ignorant at best, and for some reason these people can't seem to differentiate between a group of terrorists and a group of Trump supporters. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs provides a fresh way to dive into your favorite craft or try something new.

We're doing a bonus episode this week to cover the insanely authoritarian speech that Biden gave yesterday. Ostensibly, Biden is trying to implement policies to fight the pandemic. But the truth is, Biden's 25-minute speech did little more than scapegoat the unvaccinated and divide the country further. Not only does the science not support the vaccine and mask mandates that Biden wants (which we will prove), they are naked power-grabs by the government that any sane person should be more than concerned about. With America seeming to crumble all around us, what are we Christians to do? Resist. --- Past...

Today we're talking to Texas Senator Brian Birdwell, a survivor of the 9/11 terror attack on the Pentagon. Sen. Birdwell recounts his struggle for survival on that day and shares some of his thoughts on what's going on in the current cultural and political climate. WARNING: Part of Sen. Birdwell's story includes graphic details of the injuries he sustained on 9/11. --- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile has the courage to stand up for America, for Christian values, & our Constitution, plus they have special discounts for veterans and First Responders.

Today we're discussing more hypocrisy and misinformation from the media on COVID, masks, and vaccines. The truth about these things is slowly becoming more widespread, and even left-leaning publications like the Atlantic are starting to understand and admit that forcing kids to wear masks is more harmful than helpful and not supported by any science. Then, to break down a major article about COVID and Dr. Fauci from another left-leaning source, the Intercept, we welcome fellow BlazeTV host Steve Deace back to the show. Deace has the details on what's going on with this Intercept article, in which details are...

Today we're excited to be talking to Liz Wheeler, host of the Liz Wheeler Show. We've got lots of crazy stories floating around the news to discuss, and we start off with the ongoing reactions to Texas' heartbeat law, which is now in effect. For some reason, the Left is furious that women in Texas won't be able to get abortions after about six weeks without abortionists getting sued. Even Biden and AG Merrick Garland are promising to fight the legislation, but do they really have any power to do so? Speaking of Biden, our next topic is Afghanistan and...

Today we're talking to children's rights activist Katy Faust about standing up for the most vulnerable group in America: our kids. Faust believes that acknowledging the biological differences between men and women is integral to kids' development, as well as being raised by a married couple to ensure proper development. If you look at the statistics, kids who are raised in traditional homes tend to fare better in life than those who aren't. Marriage, as Faust says, is the most child-friendly institution there is, but unfortunately, the Left's attacks on marriage have hurt children over the years. --- Today's Sponsors: ...

We start off with some good news: A heartbeat bill takes effect today, which empowers citizens to sue doctors who perform abortions after around six weeks. Naturally, this has the Left up in arms. Hilariously, they think that this bill makes the GOP comparable to the Taliban. We discuss the slippery morality that allows progressives to be pro-abortion, then we transition into discussing the latest data on vaccines, mask-wearing, and why vaccine passports are tyrannical and help no one. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs provides a fresh way to dive into your favorite craft or try something new.

Today we're talking to Monique Duson, founder of the Center for Biblical Unity, about issues like racism and critical race theory in the church. It turns out that progressive Christians, claiming to be working toward "racial reconciliation," are misinterpreting the scriptures that motivate them. We also discuss how the Left's hyper-focus on the relationship between white and black people can actually end up in tokenism and exclusion of Christians of other races, ages, and economic backgrounds. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs are a great way to build lasting memories with your kids while encouraging their creativity.

Today we begin by honoring the 13 U.S. soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan on Friday by a suicide bombing attack. Many of them were less than three years old when all of this started on 9/11. Then, we discuss Biden's misuse of Isaiah 6:8 during his speech to honor the fallen soldiers and what the verse actually means. Was Isaiah really saying "Here I am, send me" ... to the army? --- Today's Sponsors: Alliance Defending Freedom has been standing up for religious liberty, the sanctity of life, freedom of speech, marriage, and parental rights in America's highest courts — at no cost to...

We're covering several topics today, starting with the atrocious news that suicide bombers in Kabul have killed several people, including American servicemen. Unfortunately, it seems like the Afghanistan situation just keeps getting worse. Then, we have some advice for South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who for some reason decided to get into a Twitter argument with Matt Walsh. Lastly, we discuss how to push back on mask and vaccine mandates in local areas, as well as look at some of the resistance against draconian COVID restrictions coming out of other countries like France and from celebrities like Joe Rogan. --- ...

Today we're continuing our discussion on the unfolding situation in Afghanistan and what it means for the future of America and the world. To give us more context and information, we welcome Hudson Institute senior fellow Rebeccah Heinrichs back to the show. Heinrichs is a foreign policy expert. She explains what's going on right now as Americans and Afghanis try to escape the Taliban and also how this global show of weakness only serves to embolden our enemies, specifically China's CCP. --- Today's Sponsors: Alliance Defending Freedom needs your support now more than ever with the family, freedom, and even...

Today we're talking to Dr. Andi Thacker, assistant professor of biblical counseling at Dallas Theological Seminary, about anxiety in adults and kids and the theology and science behind it. For the many of us who have been struggling with the weight of the world, Dr. Thacker has some biblical advice and encouragement, as well as knowledge on some of the psychology playing out in our heads. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs is a fun & convenient way to be creative & they have an amazing selection to choose from: crocheting, knitting, card-making, jewelry-making, quilting, sewing — there's never been a better time to...

Today we're mainly talking about the rising police state in Australia. With a whopping and tragic 4 average deaths from COVID-19 over the past 7 days, the land Down Under has launched into some of the most restrictive lockdown measures anywhere. We'll talk about why this is neither scientific nor compassionate, and fortunately there are still people in Australia who agree, as anti-lockdown protests have been occurring across the nation. This is a strong reminder, however, of how important it is for individuals to speak up about their values. Here in the U.S., many schools are trying to mandate masks for...

Today we're continuing our coverage of the heartbreaking disaster that's occurring right now in Afghanistan, as anyone not associated with the Taliban desperately tries to flee the country. This, sadly, is a perfect demonstration of the failures of the Biden administration and Democrat policy in general. When you put America last, America isn't the only country that suffers for it. We're going to break down why this progressive worldview doesn't work and why it's neither moral nor biblical. --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers delivers their American craft beef & better than organic chicken right to your door, individually wrapped, vacuum sealed...

Today we're discussing masks and mask mandates, specifically for kids and schools. Singer Carrie Underwood got in trouble with the progressive Twitter mob for simply liking a tweet from Matt Walsh that was critical of masks in school. However, both she and the science seem to agree: There is little to no scientific evidence that would suggest government mask mandates are needed, least of all for schools. And we've got plenty of data in this episode to back that up. --- Today's Sponsors: Reliefband stimulates a nerve in the wrist that travels to the part of the brain that controls...

Today we're covering the disastrous withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan organized by the Biden administration. Why has it been such a catastrophe? What went wrong? To help answer these questions, we talk to former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus. She worked in the Trump administration with Christopher Wray and has unique insight as to how things have changed under the new president. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs help your kids master new, hands-on skills while expressing their creativity.
