Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today, we're joined by Daisy Strongin, wife, mother and de-transitioner, for part two of her story. We pick up with the complex feelings that accompanied her parents' validation of her "new gender" and some of the red flags she felt ultimately led her to de-transition. She shares how she felt after her double mastectomy and why she ended up regretting it. We discuss some of the conservative podcasts she listened to at the time, including this one, that helped change her mind on transgenderism and abortion, and Daisy shares her spiritual journey toward fully de-transitioning and accepting Christ.---Timecodes:(00:50) Parental reactions(03:10) Double mastectomy aftermath(07:58) Questioning the decision(13:20) Spiritual transformation(20:25) Breaking point(25:10) Politics(27:50) Reading the Bible & believing---Today's Sponsors:EveryLife — the only premium baby brand that is unapologetically pro-life.

Today, we're joined by Daisy Strongin, wife, mother and de-transitioner, to hear her story of believing she was a boy, medically transitioning, and then ultimately finding Christ. We start off with Daisy's first feelings of being uncomfortable in her body and how she came to believe she wasn't a girl. She explains how chronically online she was growing up and how this connected her to online groups of girls who were also questioning their gender. We discuss what her parents thought of her newfound "identity" once she started calling herself a boy, and Daisy explains how easy it was to get both testosterone and a double mastectomy.

Today we're joined by Suzy Griswold, founder and director of HealingStrong, to talk about her journey from being diagnosed with cancer to finding healing through holistic methods. Suzy shares about her initial reaction to being told doctors had found a tumor and being diagnosed with cancer and about how her body reacted to the traditional treatment at first. We discuss the Gerson therapy protocol, an alternative treatment protocol for cancer, and how Suzy found that these alternative methods of detoxing actually healed her completely. We talk about what she learned about God and his faithfulness throughout her journey and share some alarming cancer statistics that reveal why medical professionals are so invested in cancer drugs.---Timecodes:(02:09) Thyroid cancer diagnosis(08:20) Researching alternatives / Gerson therapy(17:16) Suzy's healing journey(23:01) Reintroducing things to diet/lifestyle(25:29) Coffee enemas(29:30) Spiritual transformation(34:50) Doctors and pharma issues(46:07) Tumors(51:10) Commitment to changes---Today's Sponsors:We Heart Nutrition — nourish your body with research-backed ingredients in your vitamins at WeHeartNutrition.com and use promo code ALLIE for 20% off.WNG Online — God's World News is primarily designed for students.

Topics discussed include saying no to sex within marriage, handling relationships with progressive grandparents, dating someone with different theological beliefs, tips on speaking with woke Christians, thoughts on those who think Trump is a savior, the best part of motherhood, and setting boundaries with family.

Today we're joined by D.L. Moody Center President Dr. James Spencer to discuss his book “Christian Resistance: Learning to Defy the World and Follow Christ." We discuss the many distractions of the day pulling our minds and hearts in different directions and how we can reorient ourselves to be in line with God. We look at the examples of Mary and Martha and what we can glean from the story and from how Jesus responds to Martha. We discuss how to know what activities are worthy of our time and what activities constitute distractions and why it's important to eliminate the desire for self-sufficiency. We also talk about our inherent need for imitation and how to correctly channel that, as well as whether busyness is ever glorifying to God. We finish off with some tips for setting ourselves up for success, from eliminating crutches to changing the cadence of our days.---Timecodes:(03:00) Distraction(12:50) Imitation(17:16) Discernment(22:46) Pressure and stress(27:44) Tips to eliminate distractions(33:35) Setting ourselves up for success---Today's Sponsors:Good Ranchers — get 10% OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.Naturally It's Clean — visit https://naturallyitsclean.com/allie and use promo code "ALLIE" to receive 15% off your order.

Dr. Lina AbuJamra, a pediatric ER doctor and founder of Living with Power Ministries, joins the podcast to discuss her book on sex, shame, and troublesome issues. Topics include her upbringing in Lebanon, falling into the prosperity gospel, the failure of purity culture, facing sexual sins head-on, and misconceptions about sex in marriage.

Today we're looking again at the story of a Texas mother who is fighting to abort her child, who was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder that is often, though not always, fatal. The debate over this story has blown up, and we give a recap but also double down on the fact that we should not have empathy for this woman's decision to kill her child. Then we take another look at Rob Reiner's documentary on Christian nationalism and the "threat" we face from it. We explain why there is simply no comparison between the looming threat of the progressive agenda versus the few people who have extreme "Christian nationalist" views.

Today we're talking about a few hot topics, starting with a Texas mother who is fighting to abort her child, who was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder that is often, though not always, fatal. A Texas judge initially granted her the ability to kill her child, but the Texas Supreme Court halted the order, barring her from aborting. We explain why we don't have empathy for her decision to cross state lines to abort her baby and why toxic empathy is a detriment to society. Then, we discuss Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams, who famously joked about their babies having barcodes after they posted a photo of their twin boys born via surrogacy this week. We also look at the plagiarism accusations against Harvard president Claudine Gay and a rare win for the Cut after the outlet published an article arguing for people to have kids despite the "doom" of climate change.---Timecodes:(03:10) Texas mother seeks abortion(24:55) Shane Dawson's surrogate babies(40:45) Harvard's Claudine Gay antisemitism & plagiarism(47:30) 'The Cut' article on having children---Today's Sponsors:Good Ranchers — get 10% OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.Birch Gold — protect your future with gold.

Today we're joined by frontman of the band Skillet, John Cooper, to discuss his book, "Wimpy, Weak & Woke: How Truth Can Save America from Utopian Destruction," the bogeyman of "Christian nationalism" that the Left continues to perpetuate, and how we as believers should approach the war against true Christianity and the West. We start off with a look at the Christian leaders who led people astray during COVID lockdowns and BLM and the destruction that critical theory has wrought on Christianity as a whole. We talk about the anti-Christian and anti-Western movement and discuss why progressive Christians who claim to have the right intentions but disregard outcomes aren't actually being loving at all. Then, we look at the upcoming documentary on Christian nationalism featuring Russell Moore and David French and why the implications the film seems to make about conservative Christians are not only misguided but dangerous. We also talk about how the progressive view of "Utopia" is actually the opposite of the kingdom of heaven.---Timecodes:(01:58) Weak Christian leadership during Covid(09:10) Anti-Christian movement(13:40) Intentions vs. outcomes(18:55) Christian nationalism / David French & Russell Moore(34:40) The real threat(39:55) Defining "wimpy," "weak," and "woke"(44:09) Utopia(49:55) "Did God really say...?"(53:52) "Christian nationalism" & parental rights---Today's Sponsors:Cozy Earth — go to CozyEarth.com and use promo code 'RELATABLE' at checkout to save 35% off your order!Naturally It's Clean — visit https://naturallyitsclean.com/allie and use promo code "ALLIE" to receive 15% off your order.

Today we're joined by Olivia Maurel, who was born via surrogacy but didn't find out until much later in life. Today, she speaks out against surrogacy in all forms, claiming that there is no such thing as good surrogacy, and she shares her story with us, beginning with how she first found out the truth about her birth. She explains that she always intrinsically knew something was off, and when she came across surrogacy centers in Kentucky, where she was born, she put the pieces together. She shares her journey of struggling to find a maternal bond growing up, as well as the mental health issues she never knew were actually passed down from her biological mother, and feeling that there is a price tag on her life. We discuss the many reasons one should be opposed to surrogacy, regardless of political affiliation, and explain why despite the trauma of her experience, God is using her to reveal the truth about this sensitive topic. We also give a recap on last night's Republican primary debate and a few viral moments that came out of it.To support Olivia's journey to end surrogacy: https://www.givesendgo.com/abolish_surrogacy?utm_source=sharelink&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=abolish_surrogacy---Timecodes:(01:25) Intro(02:30) Republican debate thoughts(16:47) Finding out about surrogacy birth(26:55) Adoption and surrogacy(32:45) Birth certificate change / DNA test(40:50) Alienated from parents(44:36) Thinking critically about surrogacy(51:05) Surrogacy laws in other countries(56:00) God is using this---Today's Sponsors:Birch Gold — protect your future with gold.
