Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we're finishing our discussion with James Lindsay about history, Marxism, and theology. As James explains exactly what Marxism is and what its historical roots are, it becomes increasingly clear that this ideology is entirely antithetical to that of the Christian's. Apparently, the Marxists want redemption for mankind as well, but they believe that can only happen when literally everyone on Earth has complied with their worldview. We also discuss some Christian theology as well, and why it is has been such a good foundation for Western Civilization to thrive on. And although James isn't a Christian, he talks about why he still thinks Judeo-Christian values are the best for society.---Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold are the best people to trust to help you diversify your 401(k) & IRAs into gold.

Today we're talking to Brad Polumbo, a libertarian journalist who recently started the website BASEDPolitics, a news site dedicated to covering stories from a liberty-first mindset. Brad opposes "big government" conservatives, and despite the threat that the woke Left poses to our country, he warns against using state power for short-term wins against the Left. We discuss what the moral foundation of the Right is, or should be, and where we have very strong agreements on some issues of liberty. We also talk about some of our disagreements on when it's time to involve the government to solve problems. Lastly, we get into some of the moral background behind conservative and libertarian philosophies and where our theological and agnostic viewpoints converge and diverge.----Today's Sponsors: ExpressVPN helps you browse more anonymously: it's easy to use & works on all devices!

Today we're discussing Francine Rivers' wildly popular book, "Redeeming Love," as there was a major movie adaptation of it released recently. Despite many women's fond memories of reading the book as teenagers, it really does a poor job of translating what the book of Hosea is trying to tell us. Ultimately, this book does more harm than good, as it ends up glorifying earthly struggles and relationships over living a life committed to the Lord.---Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles does the hunting for you & provide clothes that are effortless, easy, & flattering on any shape, size, age, or season!

Today we're thrilled to welcome our friend James Lindsay back to the show who's published a new book, "Race Marxism." James is an expert in all things Marxism, critical theory, and how leftists in this country are getting what they want, bit by bit. We discuss some of the lesser-known details about the history and philosophy of Marxism and James explains how it functions as an "intense religion." We also talk about how leftists since that time, from Woodrow Wilson to the black feminists of the 1960s, and people like Ibram X. Kendi and much of the modern Democrat Party, have adapted Marx's ideas and kept them alive to this day. James describes how leftists use language, propaganda, and outright bullying to shape society in the way they see fit and how their views on "structural forces" are diametrically opposed to Western views on individualism.---Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers is giving away 40 free chicken breasts to every order that uses promo code 'ALLIE'.

Today we're talking about the massive protests that have been going on in Canada over the past week. Thousands of truckers formed a "Freedom Convoy," with the giant line of trucks making its way all the way from the west coast of Canada to Ottawa, where enormous crowds gathered to protest against vaccine mandates. And of course, wherever there are people who just want to be free, the mainstream media is there to lie about it. The Left is adamant that this enormous (and diverse) group of Canadians is just a fringe group and that they're actually white supremacists and fascists. We'll easily debunk those myths, then we look at the effects that protests like the Freedom Convoy have had: Some countries are actually listening to their people and easing or removing their COVID restrictions.----Today's Sponsors: Marley Spoon & Martha Stewart is the meal kit that tastes like no other, delivering fresh & premium pre-portioned ingredients for some of Martha's favorite recipes straight to your door!

Today we welcome our friend Jennifer Lahl back to the show by popular demand. Jennifer is the founder and president of the Center for Bioethics and Culture, and as you may know, has dedicated herself to raising awareness about the ethical problems and potential dangers of 'big fertility' and the surrogacy industry. Last time, we talked about the corruption surrounding this industry, and today we're going into the ethics and philosophy behind IVF, frozen embryos, and surrogacy. As science progresses, more and more aspects of childbearing can be replicated artificially, which raises serious concerns about how we view women, family, and life itself. Unfortunately, there is major financial incentive to keep the myth of surrogacy going, as companies stand to make huge profits, and the women they deceive are convinced they're doing something morally right.---(0:00) Introduction(3:23) Interview with Jennifer Lahl(5:00) Questions about surrogacy(39:17) Let's talk about IVF - what do we need to consider?---Today's Sponsors: Chamonix by Genucel helps you look younger & promises results that make you smile —guaranteed — or 100% of your money back!

Today we're talking about COVID and Allie's personal experience with the virus. After nearly two years, the 'vid finally visited the Stuckey household. We discuss how this saga put in perspective the rest of the pandemic and reminds us of all the times the government and the media shot their own credibility in the foot. We also talk about the Biden administration's apparent desire to worsen the pandemic, as evidenced by the FDA's removal of emergency use authorization for some types of monoclonal antibodies.---Today's Sponsors: Masterworks is an alternative investment platform that's made investing in multi-million dollar art easy & affordable for everyday investors.

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 LinksMillennials Have Radically Different Beliefs About Respect, Faith, and America https://bit.ly/3KHG3teThe State of Theology https://bit.ly/33JO945Your questions, biblical answers at Got Questions. https://bit.ly/3ABe6PqAllie's Recommended Resources https://bit.ly/3FRExBb---Previously on Relatable: Ep 132 | Predestination https://apple.co/3IuQSNyEp 135 | Socialism https://apple.co/3g9Vj4pEp 165 | Nancy Pearcey https://apple.co/3qTLDB6Ep 297 | The Christian Case for Trump | Guest: Dr. Wayne Grudem https://apple.co/3IwYHCj------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.

Today we're talking to Jennifer Lahl, an author and filmmaker and president of the Center for Bioethics and Culture. She is currently dedicated to raising awareness about the corruption of the surrogacy industry and the potential dangers of in vitro fertilization. Although many Christians support these things because they are pro-family, Jennifer explains why this method of having a family comes with a higher number of problems and victims and exposes the big money that the fertility and surrogacy industry rakes in.---Today's Sponsors: A'del Natural Cosmetics is a family-run, holistic, handcrafted & toxin-free cosmetic company where ALL of their products are made in the USA.
