Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we're joined by Päivi Räsänen, a member of Finnish Parliament, who is currently on trial in Finland for posting a Bible verse on X after a local church chose to support a "pride" event. Päivi was originally prosecuted for the crime of “agitation against a minority group”, under the section of “war crimes and crimes against humanity” in the Finnish criminal code, and was acquitted twice. Yet the prosecution continues to appeal the not guilty verdict, and Päivi finds herself yet again back in court. The prosecution claims that Päivi's real crime wasn't posting the Bible verse, but claiming that the Bible condemns homosexuality in that post. We're also joined by Kristen Waggoner, CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom, to discuss the legal specifics of this case and the greater implications of punishing free speech. Päivi shares encouragement for standing up for truth, and her perspective as her case continues.You can learn more about ADF here: https://adfinternational.org/Go to alliemerch.com to get our new Valentine's Day merch!---Timecodes:(01:30) Päivi's story(29:00) Päivi's testimony(36:20) The legal perspective---Today's Sponsors:My Patriot Supply — prepare yourself for anything with long-term emergency food storage.

Today we're joined by Todd and Krista Kolstad, Montana parents who find themselves entangled in an ongoing months-long custody battle for their 14-year-old daughter. The couple candidly open up about the challenges they faced and the heartbreak they endured after losing custody of their daughter.

The Kolstads courageously navigate through the difficult terrain of their daughter's claims of wanting to harm herself, shedding light on the emotional toll this took on their family. Then, we give our take on the corruption within government organizations created to "protect" children and how we can fight back against cases where their actions are not for the good of children.The Kolstads' GiveSendGo: https://www.givesendgo.com/GBMG9---Timecodes:(00:31) The Kolstads' story(45:45) How to support(46:17) Allie's thoughts---Links:The Kolstads' GiveSendGo: https://www.givesendgo.com/GBMG9Reduxx: "EXCLUSIVE: Montana Family Loses Custody Of Teenage Daughter After Expressing Opposition To Her Gender Transition" https://reduxx.info/exclusive-montana-family-loses-custody-of-teenage-daughter-after-expressing-opposition-to-her-gender-transition/ABC 15: "Montana governor defends removal of 14-year-old from parents who opposed gender identity" https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/montana-governor-defends-removal-of-14-year-old-from-parents-who-opposed-gender-identity-greg-gianforte-krista-todd-kolstad-lgbt-transgender-social-transition-custody---Relevant Episodes:Ep 914 | Holistic Parents Targeted by the State | Guest: Emily Donlin https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-914-when-the-state-comes-for-your-child-guest-emily-donlin/id1359249098?i=1000636966590Ep 603 | How CPS & Foster Care Corruption is Killing Kids | Guest: Naomi Schaefer Riley https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-603-how-cps-foster-care-corruption-is-killing-kids/id1359249098?i=1000558186236Ep 798 | America’s Sacrificing Orphans on the Altar of Transgenderism | Guests: Jessica Bates & Christiana Kiefer https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-798-americas-sacrificing-orphans-on-the-altar/id1359249098?i=1000611489190Ep 653 | Losing Custody of Your "Trans" Daughter | Guest: Jeannette Cooper https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-653-losing-custody-of-your-trans-daughter-guest/id1359249098?i=1000574808916---Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/bookRelatable merchandise – use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.
