Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we're joined by a show favorite, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, to discuss big fertility's increasing presence in our culture. We talk about California's new bill that redefines "fertility" to include gay couples in an effort to make insurance cover surrogacy in those cases. Naturally, there are some drastic repercussions of green-lighting a bill like this. We explain how we're misidentifying the victims, who are always the children, and why even Christian, heterosexual couples cannot let their longing for children be put above a child's well-being. We also cover why adoption is different from IVF and surrogacy and why it's so important to understand that IVF is never ethical.

Today we're joined by Kyle Mann, editor in chief at the Babylon Bee, to dive headfirst into the gender galaxy that’s explored in "The Babylon Bee Guide to Gender." We start off with the Babylon Bee's explanation of gender and how science is actually incredibly offensive. We look at Kyle's journey from being a two-gender conformist to embracing the smorgasbord of gender choices (stay tuned to see if he finishes the interview as a man!). We also discuss the delicate art of raising "woke theybies" (they/them babies, of course), including advice on how to indoctrinate your child with Disney’s famous gender ideology and how to punish your child for the heinous crime of misgendering you. We'll also touch on the dazzling spectacle of drag shows and how more kids should be attending them, the importance of neopronouns, and the rarely discussed but incredibly important "wing dysphoria" community. As we unravel the beauty of gender ideology, you'll come to realize that it's all about you, you, and you, because only your happiness and comfort matter!

Today we're joined again by June Hunt, author, singer, and founder of Hope for the Heart, a worldwide biblical counseling ministry, for part two of our discussion on forgiveness. We start off explaining forgiveness in Jesus' context and how we should emulate him. Then we discuss the seriousness of domestic abuse and how emotional abuse is the end result of all abuse. June explains that God did not create us to be abused and it’s not healthy for people to get way with wrongdoing. We also talk about the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation and share the first step toward forgiveness. Stay tuned until the end, when June treats us to a song!

Today we're joined by June Hunt, author, singer, and founder of Hope for the Heart, a worldwide biblical counseling ministry. June shares her story of salvation, from growing up learning that her father had three concurrent families to learning to forgive him for his abuse and hostility. She shares how impressed she was with authentic Christians and how that helped lead to her salvation. We discuss June's wrestling with the idea of forgiveness – is forgiving someone just letting them off the hook? June shares her definition of forgiveness and why it's so important to release our right to be apologized to. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow!

Today we're joined by Heather Mason, activist, survivor of fentanyl addiction, and founding member of caWsbar, an organization that works to preserve the rights and protections of women and girls. Heather tells her story of becoming addicted to fentanyl, selling drugs, and going to prison multiple times. She shares her difficult journey in Canadian federal prison, where she got routinely strip-searched and violated, and shares stories of men, many of whom were sexual predators, being placed with women and babies in women's facilities. We discuss her advocacy for single-sex prison spaces, and Heather explains how it was the Christians above anyone else who saw her as a human worthy of dignity while she was in prison.

Today we're joined again by evolutionary biologist Dr. Colin Wright for part two of our discussion about the biological realities of sex. We start off explaining why physical reality matters more than how someone may feel about gender and whether preferred pronouns only affirm false beliefs. Then we shift to discussing atheism vs. Christianity. Dr. Wright has claimed that the Right needs more atheism, but what does this mean, and will it really help the conservative cause? We also discuss what morality and the concepts of justice and fairness are rooted in when it comes to atheism.

Today we're joined by evolutionary biologist Dr. Colin Wright to discuss the biological realities of sex. We start off with a basic definition of what sex is and why you can't teach biology without teaching the fundamental truth of X and Y chromosomes. We explain how using "intersex" as evidence of transgenderism doesn't make sense when one has nothing to do with the other and "intersex" is an extreme biological outlier rather than a supposed "identity." We also touch on sex when it comes to sports and how we define and accept "fairness" when it comes to athletic competitions. At the end of the episode, Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, joins for a quick news update.
