Ep 1280 | The 'Matthew 18' Myth & 'Relatable' Wrapped
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Reading Matthew 18 Carefully
Allie reads Matthew 18:15–17 and frames her approach to observing the text and context.
Today Allie unpacks Matthew 18, which often gets used out of context and is misinterpreted. She dives into the difference between secret disputes and public rebukes, providing insight on how Christians should handle confrontation. Allie then looks back at 2025, highlighting the most significant events, such as Donald Trump's inauguration and Pope Leo XIV becoming the first American leader of the Catholic Church. She dives into some of her most memorable moments that took place, including the Share the Arrows conference and her Jubilee debate. Allie holds back tears as she talks about her fondest memories of Charlie Kirk and the legacy he leaves behind. Allie also pays respects to the giants of faith we lost this year: James Dobson, John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, and Phil Robertson. Tune in for a heartfelt remembrance from the past year as we look forward to 2026!
