Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Since this IS the "Relatable" podcast, I thought I'd peel back the layers and tell you a little about me, my walk with Christ, and how I landed on this career path. Many of you have asked for my story, so I hope you enjoy! And my apologies to those hoping for politics this week — we'll be back on that track next episode. I also take a few of your many amazing questions at the end.    Copyright CRTV. All rights reserved.  

The tragic case of Alfie Evans brings to light the absolute illogic and evil of the culture of death presently perpetuated throughout Europe, and, to a lesser extent (for now), in America. I break down the current impact and trajectory of this devastating cultural and political trend and what it means for the Christian.

Progressive liberalism has become mainstream — and Christians are latching on. Allie breaks down the key differences between conservatism and liberalism and highlights the contradictory nature of being a "liberal Christian." 

Christians are undoubtedly commanded to do good works, but why put a secular, progressive label on what the church has been doing through the power of the gospel for centuries: caring for the weak, feeding the poor, and fighting for the oppressed? The idolatry of social justice is actually distraction from the centrality of Jesus and his death and resurrection. I explain why. Also: Q&A and tribute to Barbara Bush. 

The cancer of "intersectionality" has started to seep into the church. It defines people by their individual, racial, ethnic, class, and gender oppression rather than who they are in Christ. Such worldly doctrine is antithetical to the gospel and is unnecessary for (and even counterproductive to) unity between the varying dimensions of humanity. Jesus is sufficient for that.

It's no longer commonly accepted that America is the greatest country in the world. It has become trendy to apologize for, minimize and even demonize our country's strength. There are many in the church who have adopted this unpatriotic mentality as well, either because of apathy or a misinformed desire for socialism. Here's why we should all be thanking God for the gift of living in America. 

As the media breathlessly fawns over "March for Our Lives" gun control advocates, Second Amendment supporters are demonized as child murderers. Not only is that depiction inaccurate, it's immoral: I'm no "gun nut;" you're probably not either, and falsely slandering us as such does damage to society as a whole. Here's the truth about the Second Amendment, those who support it, and why it all matters.

It's no secret the president has had his "fun" with women in years past, but the question is: Should we care about it now? How should Christian Trump voters respond to allegations of sexual promiscuity and even sexual harassment? Should we ignore it altogether? Should we renounce our support? Allie breaks it all down and introduces her first "Things I Don't Get" on today's episode of "Relatable."
