Today we're joined by Jeff Allen, a born-again Christian comedian and author of “Are We There Yet?” He explains how he went from a life of anger, marital difficulties, and alcoholism, to redemption through the Gospel and surrender to Jesus Christ. Jeff spares no details of the darkest moments of his life, moments that eventually led him to the Lord. As he puts it, “God breaks you for a reason.” He also gives his opinion on some of life’s most difficult questions: What is the key to finding freedom from vices like anger and addiction? Can even the worst marriages be saved? And is anyone beyond redemption?

You can get Jeff's new book, "Are We There Yet?" here: https://www.amazon.com/Are-We-There-Yet-Meaningful/dp/1684514827

News Commentary

Today, we dive into Russell Brand's recent baptism and conversion to Christianity and whether it is a reason for hope. Brand has faced public criticism due to his past anti-Christian opinions, sexual assault allegations, and his current use of tarot cards. We discuss what these things mean for the genuineness of his faith and whether Christians can dabble in new age practices to begin with. Plus, in her latest book, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) detailed a time she shot her dog dead in a gravel pit. We discuss this strange decision.

Ep 992 | Kanye Is Now a Pornographer | Guest: Jason Whitlock

Today we sit down with professional surfer Bethany Hamilton to discuss the protection of women's sports, her surfing career, childbirth, and standing up for the pro-life cause. Bethany lost her arm in a shark attack when she was just 13 years old and overcame not just relearning how to surf with one arm, but how to compete again and win. She explains how her experience being launched into the public eye led her to share her relationship with Jesus. We talk about her decision to speak out against the World Surf League, which recently allowed men to compete in women's competitions, and the fallout of essentially being blacklisted by the league.

Ep 991 | Bethany Hamilton on Women’s Sports, Faith & Motherhood

Last week, the Department of Education released its new Title IX rule, expanding the prohibition against discrimination to include discrimination based on “sex stereotypes, sex-related characteristics (including intersex traits), pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity.” We discuss what this means for American girls and women. Plus, Kristen Waggoner, president of the Alliance Defending Freedom, joins the program to discuss these changes and the ADF's efforts in combatting transgender policies. How can parents stand up for their daughters and against these evil ideologies? And Taylor Swift released a new album with some problematic lyrics, particularly in the song "Guilty as Sin." How should Christians respond?
