Today we’re joined by Benjamin Blake Howard, pastor and author of "From Mascara to Manhood," to discuss his story of leaving a life of homosexuality and drag queen performance and finding the Lord. We discuss his upbringing and what events led to him creating his “drag character,” as well as why it was so appealing to him at the time. He shares about his decision to leave drag behind, his struggle with homosexuality, and how he ended up at a ministry school (of all places), where he ultimately found true healing and redemption in Christ. He offers some encouragement and advice on how to reach those who are struggling as he did. ---Today's Sponsors:StartMail — keep your email private - every email can be encrypted!

Today we're talking about the tragic death of Tyre Nichols and the aftermath, which included riots and calls for social justice, many claiming that the killing was due to "systemic whiteness," despite the cops who killed him all being black. It's a very good thing that the officers are being held accountable, yet it's incredibly sad to see the reaction immediately shift to race. What really constitutes justice in this case? We look at how the officers involved were hired due to lowered department standards and the lie that law enforcement is rooted in white supremacy. Then, we look at Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic's win at the 2023 Australian Open. He is said to be the best tennis player in the world, but was left unable to compete in the 2022 Australian Open after he was deported because he chose to remain unvaccinated. We take a look at his big win and how much sweeter it is after he stuck to his guns. In contrast, we look at a Finnish transgender farmer turned ice skater who was allowed to skate at the European Figure Skating Championships despite being ... not good. We finish off with a look at progressivism and the destruction of beauty that comes from it.---Timecodes:(00:57) Tyre Nichols(34:00) Novak Djokavic(28:30) Finnish "ice princess"(44:20) Progressive ugliness---Today's Sponsors:Birch Gold — protect your future with gold.

Today we’re joined by Jinger Duggar Vuolo, author of "Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear," and formerly of the "19 Kids and Counting" franchise. In her new book, Jinger shares her theological journey from following a fundamentalist leader to finding freedom in Christ. We discuss her upbringing under the teachings of Bill Gothard, who taught strict rules on modesty and behavior, and how these teachings were rooted in fear, superstition, and control and led Jinger to believe she needed to earn favor with God. We discuss her childhood growing up on TV (despite never watching TV), struggling with an eating disorder, and wrestling with the idea of attending a church outside her doctrine growing up. We discuss how Jinger met her husband, Jeremy, and how his theology helped shape hers. Jinger explains the difference between “deconstruction” and “disentangling” faith and why disentangling can lead to true restoration under biblical truth.---Timecodes:(01:09) Interview with Jinger begins / "Becoming Free Indeed"(02:00) Bill Gothard's teaching(08:58) Growing up on TV(14:50) Struggling with fear(19:30) Struggling with an eating disorder(22:00) Parental authority & gaining favor with God(27:30) Letting go of old theology(40:20) Deconstruction vs. disentanglement---Today's Sponsors:A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!EdenPURE — get 3 Thunderstorm Air Purifiers for under $200 at EdenPureDeals.com, use promo code 'ALLIE3'!Patriot Mobile — go to PatriotMobile.com/ALLIE or call 878-PATRIOT and use promo code 'ALLIE' to get free activation!---Relevant Episodes:Ep 176 | Jeremy Vuolo https://apple.co/3Dbh8fCEp 730 | When God Calls You to Tell Jokes | Guest: Joel Berry https://apple.co/3WFnw5L---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.

Today we're joined by show favorite Justin Haskins, author and editorial director of the Heartland Institute, to get an update on what the world's elites are up to and hear about last week's World Economic Forum conference in Davos, which aimed to "bring together decision-makers from across society to work on projects and initiatives that make a real difference." We discuss Giving to Amplify Earth Action, a partnership between the private sector and government through which elites work together to manage society in a way that they think will be better (and they'll get rich along the way!). How does this affect us, and what are their plans for those of us who won't go along with their ideas and plans? The worst part may not even be that they want to enact all this power over us, but rather that they're so incredibly wrong about all of it. We discuss Al Gore's hysterical comments about climate change and note that rather than continuing to push out incorrect predictions, they also keep adding more extreme, dire language to scare people into believing we won't survive an incoming climate catastrophe. And ultimately, what can we do? Justin shares some ways we can reframe how we think about these topics and how to fight back.

Today we're talking about life and death – abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty. First, we cover some solemn statements from Biden and Kamala Harris on what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade as they offer their condolences that more lives can't be ended by abortion. We talk about just how important it is for Christians to be on the side of life and how Christian doctrine has no room for the pro-choice belief. Then, we look at the ever-increasing normalization of euthanasia, namely in Canada, where soon those who are mentally ill will be able to apply for assisted death. We discuss why this is yet another example of humans thinking they're gods and look into some horrifying stories that show how corrupt this practice already is on the part of the government in Canada. We also talk about Elon Musk's tweet over the weekend in support of access to euthanasia. We take a look at the Supreme Court's ruling in Kennedy v. Louisiana (2008) and explain why some evil just requires the death penalty.---Timecodes:(00:57) Intro(02:15) Abortion arguments(22:20) Biden's Roe v.

Today we're talking about an NHL hockey player, Ivan Provorov, who refused to wear a pride flag jersey for an NHL charity warm-up, citing his Russian Orthodox faith and asking that reporters respect his decision. The NHL is becoming more and more known for promoting the LGBTQ agenda and striving to be "inclusive." We look at the outrage from journalists at Provorov's decision, including one analyst who suggests that Provorov go back to Russia if he doesn't agree with the LGBTQ agenda. We also take a look at this season's fashions trends to see if we approve. Then, we discuss one of the most horrifying stories we've seen: a gay couple's serial sexual abuse and prostitution of their two young adopted sons and how the Christian adoption agency that placed the boys fast-tracked their application despite warning signs.---Timecodes:(01:50) Hockey player refuses to wear pride jersey(18:14) Seasonal trend review(21:40) Gay couple abuses adopted children---Today's Sponsors:Dwell — enhance your time in the Word with the read-along experience featuring big, bold text & beautiful background art.

Today we're joined by Taylor Dukes, functional medicine nurse practitioner and co-founder of Restore and Revive Wellness Center, to discuss various health topics, medicine, and her story. We discuss her journey into functional medicine and what exactly functional medicine means, with an emphasis on balance between necessary traditional medicine and the philosophy of asking questions and looking into other factors for prevention and cause. We talk about what the medical industry gets wrong and share how to begin cleaning up one's lifestyle and diet and move closer to non-toxic living. Should people care about organic food? And are seed oils really as bad as people say they are? Then, we offer some tips on introducing your kids to healthier lifestyles, and Taylor shares her story of how she found out she had a brain tumor. She explains her journey of finding the Lord's peace in the midst of her diagnosis and the wait to find out what it means for her life.

Sam Black, Director at Covenant Eyes, discusses the damaging effects of pornography addiction on relationships, society, and children. He highlights the cycle of porn consumption, consequences like intimacy issues, and ways to break free with godly guidance. The conversation covers early exposure, brain changes, effective interventions, and tools for families to protect against porn.
