Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we're discussing COVID, the new variant, and Biden's vaccine mandate, but first we take a moment to acknowledge the landmark court case going before the Supreme Court that has the potential to overturn Roe v. Wade. Then, we get into the nitty-gritty of the newly discovered Omicron variant of COVID-19. How much worse is it than the original COVID virus? Why are countries scrambling to close travel from South Africa when we don't even know where this variant comes from? And of course, with this new development comes the repackaging of old pitches like mask mandates and lockdowns. But, some good news on the pandemic front, several judges around the U.S. are standing up to Joe Biden's vaccine mandate that the administration tried to implement through OSHA.---Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider & if you make the switch today, you'll get 1 month of free service.

Back in studio! We're going to take today to reorient ourselves and make sure our priorities are straight. So many of us have felt like life has been on "pause" since the pandemic began, thinking that once this is all over, we will just snap back to the way things were in 2019. Unfortunately, that's just not the case. The virus, and governments' heavy-handed responses, are here to stay. As Christians, we need to remember how we're called to spend our time on this earth and live according to God's Word, whether or not things are "normal."---Today's Sponsors: Dwell has built a beautiful listening & reading experience for the Scriptures.

Today we'll take a deep dive into an often-misinterpreted Bible verse: Micah 6:8. Some on the progressive side of Christianity use this verse to give credence to their social justice narratives, but is this verse really about making changes to society?---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 Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon Bee, the most true and factual website in history. We discuss the role of satire, the new book, "The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness," and how humor is uniquely positioned to counter authoritarianism. The Bee is always getting in trouble with the Left, and while it's funny to see progressives freak out about obvious satire, there is a more sinister motive; if the Left can get enough people to believe Seth's website spreads right-wing disinformation, they can more easily de-platform the Bee. We end on a different subject, hashing out some of the differences between Calvinist and Arminian views on predestination.---Today's Sponsors: Alliance Defending Freedom has challenged the private employer vaccine mandate in court, but they still need your help.

Today we're talking to Costi Hinn, a pastor and the founder of For the Gospel Ministry, about a variety of topics related to prosperity gospel. Costi tells his own story of coming from believing prosperity gospel to his now more biblical views. We discuss what's wrong with the prosperity gospel, from untouchable faith leaders to churchgoers locked into their "name it and claim it" mantras. Costi has written a book, "More Than a Healer," in which he tries to help people gain a more complete picture of Jesus and which seeks to get people to understand what biblical justice is, even if the truth is difficult to hear. ---Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs send you a new shipment every month with all the instructions & special supplies you need to make something.

We go through her own amazing story of redemption, and Victoria debunks many of the lies pushed by the pro-abortion industry.

Today we're talking to Andrew T. Walker, associate professor of Christian ethics and apologetics at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Walker has a wealth of theological knowledge on a variety of topics, from the biblical view of government to the role God intended families to play in society. We discuss how Christians should view government and what its true purpose is, according to the Bible.

Today we're talking to comedian and podcast host Bridget Phetasy about her life and how her views have changed over time. Bridget was more or less a typical liberal Democrat for much of her early adult life, before being unintentionally dragged into the culture wars. She talks about leaving the Left, how she navigates having heterodox views in an increasingly polarized world, and how her faith in a higher power has been strengthened after her amazing story of beating addiction, meeting her husband, and getting pregnant.**Please note: this conversation is for a mature audience**---Today's Sponsors: Alliance Defending Freedom has challenged the employer vaccine mandate in court, but they need your help.
