Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey Ep 775 | Pastors: Stop Trying to Be Nicer Than God
Today we're starting off with a quick Trump update before diving into news from behind the pulpit. First, Pastor Mike Todd made waves after a recent sermon in which he talks about gender identity and sexuality in a pretty bizarre way. We look at the full context of the clip and break down what he was likely trying to say and why it isn't quite as bad as the viral clip going around makes it seem (albeit still strange). We explain why we don't need caveats or apologies for what God says. Then, a progressive pastor on TikTok claims that "drag is holy," and we break down his obviously ridiculous statement. Also, another NHL player recently refused to wear a pride-themed jersey for his team's pride event. While it's good that his team supported him in choosing not to endorse the agenda, the whole situation raises the question: Why do sports teams need to make a statement about this to begin with?
