Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we're covering a much-requested topic: the situations surrounding Carl Lentz, Ravi Zacharias, and Max Lucado. What do we do when our Christian teachers and leaders let us down? Sin can happen to anyone, and it's always sad to discover that people weren't who we thought they were. Such is the case for Carl Lentz and Ravi Zacharias, who were revealed to behave differently behind closed doors. But remember, the strength of your faith shouldn't rely on our imperfect human leaders, but on God, who never changes. We also discuss the unfolding drama around Max Lucado, who is under fire for his views on LGBTQ marriage. Max ended up apologizing for his views, even though he still likely believes in the biblical definition of marriage. So why do it?---Today's Sponsors: Bambee can change HR from your biggest liability to your biggest strength.

Today we're going to break down some of the most important aspects of Judge Merrick Garland's confirmation hearing. Why is the attorney general important? What job does he actually do within an administration? Unlike the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh or Amy Coney Barrett, the confirmation of Judge Garland is expected to go relatively smoothly. We'll talk about Judge Garland's response to Sen. John Kennedy asking him about women in sports and what that means for gender issues going forward. How does it set the tone for what we can expect from the Biden administration? And, what about Tom Cotton questioning Judge Garland on the difference between racial equality and equity? Unfortunately, Judge Garland's response leaves the door open for critical race theory in government.---Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs: Every month, Annie's Creative Woman Club will send you a brand-new craft kit to engage your mind and calm your soul.

Today we're going over the corruption of Andrew Cuomo regarding COVID deaths in nursing homes. We look at the timeline of the pandemic in New York and the accusations of dishonesty by Cuomo's administration. Despite glowing coverage from the mainstream media in the past, Cuomo's corruption is finally coming to light — even though people on the Right have known for quite some time. Speaking of media coverage, we also discuss the differing responses that New York and Florida had to the coronavirus and how their governors were treated differently by the media. Then, we talk to Janice Dean of Fox News, who was personally affected by Andrew Cuomo's decision to put COVID-positive people in nursing homes.---Today's Sponsor: Kitty Poo Club: Give yourself the gift that keeps on giving all year: a Kitty Poo subscription.

First we quickly address reports that Sen. Ted Cruz flew to Cancun, Mexico, during the major Texas power outage. Legendary radio host Rush Limbaugh passed away yesterday, and not a moment went by before the Left began viciously attacking him. We'll discuss the hypocrisy of the Left as well as some things we can learn from the late Mr. Limbaugh. Also, a Canadian pastor in Alberta has been arrested and is in jail for opening his church in violation of COVID restrictions.Thrive Women's Clinic in Dallas---Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs: Every month, Annie's Creative Woman Club will send you a brand-new craft kit to engage your mind & calm your soul.

For the past several days, Texas and other southern states have been slammed with record low temperatures. Many of the people and organizations in these areas were not prepared for the severe conditions, leaving millions without electricity. Frozen pipes are a problem as well, and there are heartbreaking reports of what's going on with our elderly in nursing homes during this time. Some on the Left, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Beto O'Rourke, have claimed that this is all about climate change and that this is exactly why we need a Green New Deal. Naturally, this is hypocritical of AOC and Beto. Is weather related to climate or not? Texas gets 25% of its power from renewable energy, and during this cold snap, we've seen wind turbines frozen in place and solar panels covered in ice, limiting the state's ability to return power to the people. Also, we discuss last night's town hall with President Joe Biden, in which he said some questionable things about minorities and children, but more importantly, he sidestepped a chance to denounce the totalitarian behavior of the government of China. Biden had no interest in denouncing the CCP, in an eerily similar parallel to the appeasement of Germany right before World War II. We were shocked and saddened to hear that while we were recording this episode, legendary radio host Rush Limbaugh passed away, and we will be addressing this in our next episode along with the horrific reactions from Twitter and the Left.---Today's Sponsors: PlutoTV: Watch Blaze Live, our ad-supported 24/7 limited live stream on Pluto TV, channel 238!

North Carolina recently approved a new curriculum that would teach elements of critical race theory to K-12 students, despite the move being extremely unpopular. The state's lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson, the first black person to hold that position, has been very outspoken in his opposition to these changes to North Carolina's education system. Robinson was in turn "attacked" by the leftist media, who accused him of racism and worse. We speak with Lt. Gov. Robinson about the attacks against him and the new radical curriculum. Then, we discuss the CDC's recent guidelines on school reopenings. Spoiler alert: Not many schools will be opening under these guidelines. These guidelines are so crazy that even Jake Tapper of CNN and the Washington Post aren't happy about them. Seems like politics has prevailed, and teachers' unions contributed more to the guidelines than science and data.---Today's Sponsors:Annie's Kit Clubs: No more trips to the craft store and no searching for materials.

Today, as we often do, we're discussing cancel culture. The "cancel mob" can never be satisfied, and more celebrities are being canceled for holding views contrary to the Left, because of course, you can never be woke enough. Gina Carano of the Disney show "The Mandalorian" was fired by Disney for supposedly "abhorrent" tweets, but the same standard isn't being applied to Pedro Pascal, her co-star. Pascal and Carano both tweeted images that compared America to Nazi Germany, but only one of them is being fired. Meanwhile, Rachel Kirkconnell, rumored to be the next winner of "The Bachelor," has been accused of racism for attending an antebellum-themed party a few years ago. Not only that, but when host of the show Chris Harrison called for cooler heads to prevail, he himself was attacked online by the Twitter mob. Lastly, Solly Baby, a company that makes baby products, has come under fire for cultural appropriation after seeking to patent its new baby carrier.Today's sponsor:Built Bar: Stay healthy in 2021!

Today we're taking a break from the news and focusing on the topic of love from a biblical, theological perspective, just in time for Valentine's Day! Christians don't need to worry about the ever-changing standards the secular world has for what love looks like, but rather we should be concerned with conforming to God's definition of love. C.S. Lewis wrote about four types of love: storge, philia, eros, and agape. Although there is a healthy and godly place for each of these types of love in our lives, they also present an opportunity for Satan to sow corruption.---Today's Sponsor:ScoreMaster: Enroll in minutes & see how many points you can add to your credit score!

Today we're speaking with Melissa Chen, a writer for the Spectator and an expert on China. Melissa describes how the Biden administration's approach to China (or lack thereof) compares to what the Trump administration has done. Basically all that has happened so far is that Biden has reversed many of Trump's executive actions and orders regarding China, and his administration banned the term "China virus," so that's just great. Seems like the current president is more concerned with moral posturing around race rather than the geopolitical threat presented by the CCP. Then, we give a quick rundown of what's going on with Trump's impeachment. The Senate voted to move forward with the trial, but conviction is very unlikely. As we've said before, Trump is often clumsy with his words, but he definitely did not incite violence on January 6.--Today's Sponsors:Patriot Mobile: Get free PREMIERE activation where they set up the phone for you, and get a special gift, with the offer code 'ALLIE'.

Today we're discussing cancel culture through a theological lens. The leftist outrage mob came for a longtime NYT writer reported to have used the "N-word" in a meeting. From a biblical perspective, Christians don't need to be worried about cancel culture, since even though the standards of the world are always changing, God's standards aren't. Then, we talk to Professor William Jacobson, who created CriticalRace.org as a resource for parents and students to see what kind of ideology universities are teaching.---Today's Sponsor:Annie's Kit Club: No matter your crafting experience, you can make a picture-perfect project you'll be proud to display.
