Today we're very excited to welcome John Cooper of Christian band Skillet onto the show. We discuss the ungodly "woke" mindset that is slowly working its way into the church and how critical race theorists and others on the Left demand that Christians change their values.Today's Sponsor:SimpliSafe: Go to http://simplisafe.com/ALLIE for a free HD cameraToday's Links:You can find John Cooper's book here: https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff/books John Cooper's Podcast: https://cooperstuffpodcast.com/ --Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/bookRelatable merchandise: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Right off the bat, we need to address the controversy over the New York Post's reporting on Hunter Biden. If the facts check out, it looks like there's some (more) proof of Joe Biden's dishonesty. Then, it's time to get into the issue of climate change: Which candidate is more serious about being a conscientious steward of the land, and which one is leveraging apocalyptic language to grow the federal government? And, as Christians, we take a look at the changing climate through a biblical lens.Today's links:Email Reveals How Hunter Biden Introduced Ukrainian Businessman to VP Dad https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad/  The Biden Plan for a Clean Energy Revolution and Environmental Justice https://joebiden.com/climate-plan/# The Not-So-Pretty Fine Print of the ‘Green New Deal’ https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/the-not-so-pretty-fine-print-of-the-green-new-deal/Biden Taps Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Craft Climate-Change Policy https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/biden-taps-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-to-craft-climate-change-policy/ Joe Biden’s Green Dreams Are About Controlling You, Not the Climate https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/03/joe-bidens-green-dreams-are-about-controlling-you-not-the-climate/ Joe Biden’s Disastrous Plans for America’s Suburbs https://nypost.com/2020/07/21/joe-bidens-disastrous-plans-for-americas-suburbs/ Statement by President Trump on the Paris Climate Accord https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-president-trump-paris-climate-accord/ ---Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/bookRelatable merchandise: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

The importance of good justices serving on the U.S. Supreme Court cannot be overstated. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), himself a veteran of many legal battles, joins to discuss the nomination and confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Cruz also discusses his new book, "One Vote Away," which describes how Americans nearly lost their fundamental rights during the course of history.You can buy Senator Cruz's new book on Amazon.Today's SponsorsHydrant: Go to drinkhydrant.com and use promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order.Built Bar: Go to builtbar.com and use promo code “RELATABLE” to get 20% off your first order.Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/bookRelatable merchandise: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

First we break down misconceptions surrounding what it really means to be "pro-all life," explaining why being anti-death penalty, pro-gun control, pro-social justice, and pro-open borders doesn't make a person pro-life. Then we examine the differences between Joe Biden's and Donald Trump's education platforms. Joe Biden and the Democrats are explicitly anti-school choice — a position that disproportionately negatively affects poor and special-needs children. Donald Trump's administration has invested millions into ensuring families have the ability to choose the education that's best for their kids. Today's SponsorExpress VPN keeps all of your information secure by encrypting 100% of your data with the most powerful encryption available.

First, thoughts on Trump's COVID diagnosis, the media's reaction, and whether the public's dogmatism on mask-wearing is backed by science. Then, we address the viral chart showing abortion rates drop during Democratic presidencies.

We continue our election series by analyzing the liberal and conservative perspectives on economic issues. We answer these questions: how does each side approach the dignity of work, responsibility for the poor, and equality of opportunity vs. equality of opportunity? We'll take a look at Trump's record and plans for his second term, as well as Biden's suggested economic reforms. Then, a few more thoughts on last week's debate. Today's SponsorSee how much you can save on your car and homeowners insurance.

Christopher Rufo, adjunct fellow at the Pacific Research Institute, is leading the fight against the destructive ideology of critical race theory. His revealing research on CRT's infiltration into the American government inspired President Trump's executive order, which seeks to abolish the ideology from the federal government, the military, and all federal contractors. CRT is not "racial sensitivity training"; it's a worldview that obliterates biblical and Western concepts of justice, the rule of law, objective truth, and morality. We are seeing its consequences not only in academia, corporations, federal agencies, and even the church, but also in the left-wing violence in America's major cities. Today, Rufo tells Allie how to identify CRT and, more importantly, defeat it once and for all.  Today's LinksChristopher Rufo https://christopherrufo.com/Christopher Rufo's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/realchrisrufoChristopher Rufo's Twitter https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo------Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/bookRelatable merchandise: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Many people who identify as Christians don't know their Bibles. According to a recent study, while 61% of Millennials profess to be Christians, only 2% have a biblical worldview as defined by Barna. Ligonier Ministry's "The State of Theology" reveals why: Many self-identifying Christians don't know the basic tenets of their faith. This theological confusion negatively affects people's worldview in a way that impacts society for the worst. The time has gone for true Christians to be complacent. As the world strays further from God's truth, we must hold fast to it. That starts with knowing what it is.Today's SponsorFundrise is an investing platform that makes investing in high-quality, high potential real estate as easy as investing in your favorite stock or mutual fund.
