Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today, we’re joined by Ross Johnston, founder of California Will Be Saved, to share his story, from being donor-conceived and born to a lesbian mother to committing his life to Christ and full-time ministry. Ross shared what it was like growing up with his mother and her partner and why it was so strange to branch out and experience the presence of God during his first visit to church. We discuss the role of fathers and how God became the father that Ross never had. We also talk about grappling with God's design for marriage despite his upbringing and having open conversations with his mother in the hopes that she will hear biblical truth. ---Timecodes:(01:39) Ross' upbringing(12:28) Becoming a Christian(17:48) Working out God's design for marriage & purity(21:28) Not having a father growing up(22:58) Responding to gay marriage / lifestyles(32:04) Conversations with Ross' mother(35:17) Biological father / mentors(37:44) Future of fatherhood(40:47) California Will Be Saved---Today's Sponsors:Good Ranchers — get $30 OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.

Today we're talking with Scott Newgent, founder of TReVoices and outspoken advocate against child transgender "treatments." Most famously, Scott was an interviewee in Matt Walsh's documentary "What Is a Woman?" where she surprised audiences by being a "trans man" standing up against the trans agenda. Scott shares her story of deciding to transition, from being affirmed that she was a man later in life to getting multiple surgeries that have now left her in a complicated health situation. We talk about the activist business model and why she believes the trans agenda is far different from pre-2015, when people were advocating for the legalization of gay marriage. We cover whether she regrets transitioning and why she doesn't care what pronouns people use for her. We'll also ask the question: Will people ever wake up from this and start protecting kids?---Timecodes:(01:25) Life since 'What is a Woman'(03:22) 'Transition' story(13:10) Commonalities among 'trans' people / trauma(17:55) Detransitioners(19:19) Health problems from surgeries(25:30) Activist business model(30:52) Fitting in and why kids have no chance(32:16) Surgeries(38:10) Complications(40:30) "I will always be a trans man"(44:08) Do you regret transitioning?(48:37) Pronouns(54:30) Will people wake up?---Today's Sponsors:A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!CrowdHealth — get your first 6 months for just $99/month.

Today, we're joined by Liz Wheeler, host of "The Liz Wheeler Show" and author of "Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids," to delve into the Left’s ongoing effort to take over our institutions and how we might be able to stop it. First, we ask why the Left is so focused on coming after children and explain how communism, at its core, alienates children from parents and destroys parental rights. We discuss the concept of indoctrination and explain why it’s actually a neutral term and that we should indoctrinate for good. Then, what does freedom even mean, and is it the ultimate end or the means to something greater? Why is the Left better able to establish coalitions than the Right? We discuss these questions and more!---Timecodes:(01:18) Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids(03:35) Why come after the children?(11:00) Indoctrination is morally neutral(17:20) Is freedom the ultimate end?(24:25) Liberty and justice(29:34) The Left destroys(34:15) Government accountability---Today's Sponsors:Good Ranchers — get $30 OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.

Today we’re joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," for part two of our discussion on Scientology and its many controversies. On this episode we're diving into the even darker side of Scientology, featuring government conspiracies and intimidation tactics. We discuss what may have happened to Shelly Miscavige, wife of the leader of Scientology, who mysteriously disappeared and hasn't been seen since 2007. We also look at some of the intimidation and control tactics that Scientology uses to divide families and break up relationships. We talk about the tragic stories of forced abortions and rape cover-ups that have surfaced regarding Scientology and explain why the famous "billion-year contract" is so detrimental to families and children stuck in Scientology. We also speculate why exactly Scientology is so appealing to the already rich and famous.Check out the Cultish website and Instagram!(Note: This episode was filmed before Danny Masterson's sentencing.)---Timecodes:(01:15) Scientology conspiracies / Operation Snow White(10:11) Shelly Miscavige(12:50) Intimidation and control / dividing families(19:00) The State doesn't protect against cults(23:05) The Sea Organization(25:55) Forced abortion story(31:16) Why is Scientology appealing to rich people?(37:30) Danny Masterson rape trial---Today's Sponsors:Good Ranchers — get $30 OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.

Today we’re joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss Scientology. Because Scientology is in the news so often, we start off with an explanation of what it actually is and how it gets people hooked. We discuss how similar its structure sounds to multi-level marketing and the prosperity gospel and what was going on in America that caused this to boom in the '50s, '60s and '70s. We talk about the wild "intergalactic" lore of Scientology and how, similar to other cults, what actually goes on behind the scenes is never communicated to a potential convert. At Scientology's core, the problems it is trying to solve are the same ones we all try to solve, but the solutions are all man-made and the opposite of freedom. We offer a theological perspective and explain why Scientology and Christianity are so opposed to each other.

Topics discussed include finding community as a single woman, supporting your husband as a spiritual leader, Christians as organ donors, idolization of sports, talking to kids about sex, news updates, and immigration laws.

Today we're joined by Dr. Voddie Baucham, dean of theology at African Christian University in Zambia, to discuss his 'Fault Lines' curriculum and why it's so important for the church to understand how to talk about race and social justice in a biblical way. We discuss why we need to define terms such as "social justice," that have led Christians to talk past each other. Why are race and social justice the topics that tends to divide the church, and what can we do about it? We also look at the difference between how somewhere like Zambia sees the topic of race versus America, and we touch on why disparities do not equal discrimination.You can get Dr. Baucham's 'Fault Lines' curriculum here: https://watch.salemnow.com/series/tkhAeeI18CM0-fault-linesYou can get "Ever-Loving Truth: Can Faith Thrive in a Post-Christian Culture?" here: https://www.amazon.com/Ever-Loving-Truth-Thrive-Post-Christian-Culture/dp/168451407X---Timecodes:(01:30) Faultlines / defining terms(04:55) Why does race seem to be the issue driving us apart?(11:00) Responding to social justice rhetoric(13:44) Tony Timpa(18:17) Discussion of race in Zambia vs. U.S.(25:10) Discrimination do not equal disparities(33:25) Ever-Loving Truth: Can Faith Thrive in a Post-Christian Culture?---Today's Sponsors:Cozy Earth — go to CozyEarth.com/ALLIE and use promo code 'RELATABLE' at checkout to save 35% off your order!Pre-Born — will you help rescue babies' lives?

Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, joins for part two of the discussion on big fertility's presence. We explore the ethical considerations of frozen embryos, share surrogacy and IVF horror stories, and emphasize the mother-baby bond. Italy's anti-surrogacy measures are discussed. The controversial question posed is whether gay couples should adopt.
