Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we're discussing the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," which was passed by the House yesterday. This bill would enforce that babies born alive in attempted abortion procedures receive medical care to help them live or admit them to a hospital. Unsurprisingly, all but one Democrat opposed the bill. We look at some of the debates from the House, namely from Democratic congresswomen who think the bill is extremist. One even claims Scripture as evidence for her pro-choice beliefs. We also look at a referendum the House passed that aims to hold the Biden administration accountable for attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers. Then, we're joined by Ericka Andersen, author of "Reason to Return: Why Women Need the Church and the Church Needs Women," to discuss the need for women in the church and why they should feel urgency to go back. We cover advice for moms and why taking your kids to church is worth prioritizing, as well as how to even find a good church (Ericka's "How to Find a New Church 101" can help, as well as church.founders.org).

Today we're recapping the speaker of the House ordeal, in which Republican Kevin McCarthy faced 15 rounds of votes before he was finally elected. We discuss why some Republicans pushed back against McCarthy and what (very good) concessions he agreed to in order to get the votes he needed for the election. We look at Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' speech in which he misuses Scripture to argue that Democrats are doing "good." We beg to differ. Then, we'll use our vast knowledge of fashion to break down a few fashion looks from the Golden Globes. We discuss Jackie Hill Perry's recent decision to speak out against the Enneagram, calling it demonic. We explain the Enneagram's New Age origin and why it's just a distraction from our identity in Christ. Finally, we look at a Reddit post from someone who identifies as a trans woman claiming that he despises women because they're ... women. We explain why this has become more and more common and why this needs to wake people up.

Today we're joined by Jordan Raynor, author, entrepreneur, and host of the "Mere Christians" podcast, to discuss the biblical perspective on work. We start by discussing what God thinks about work and how work was not a result of the fall, but rather a gift from God before the fall. But how does that truth change the way we work on a day-to-day basis? How can seemingly mundane work such as changing diapers or making a latte bring pleasure to God? We discuss what brings God joy in our work and what work will look like in heaven (yes, we will work in heaven!). Then, we talk about the importance of disciple-making and how it's more important than ever to think of this within the framework of the workplace. We discuss what "calling" means and whether God cares about what work we choose to do. Then, we look at the importance of doing difficult jobs with joy and why we as Christians need to be running into dark places.

Jordan's books:

The Word Before Work: A Monday-Through-Friday Devotional to Help You Find Eternal Purpose in Your Daily Work

Called to Create: A Biblical Invitation to Create, Innovate, and Risk

Master of One: Find and Focus on the Work You Were Created to Do

We're back, Relata-belles and Relata-bros! Today, we're starting by asking the question: Should Christians concern themselves with setting New Year's resolutions? We discuss the need for renewed hope in addition to stability, routine, and sameness. Then, we take a look at an article on motherhood, which denounces toxic mommy culture and states that marriage and motherhood tend to actually be intertwined with happiness. Children are not deterrents to our happiness; they're gifts with the capacity to multiply joy and fulfillment. We look at a study on antidepressants, which shows that older white women account for the majority of people who take them. We talk about why this makes sense when we consider the kind of mixed messages that are shoved into their faces. Then, a little update from Clown World as we break down the most confusing headline of late, and we give an update on a speaking engagement and reiterate why satire is so important.

Today we're joined by Monica Cline – public speaker, consultant, and founder of It Takes a Family – to talk about the dangers of comprehensive sex education for kids and how parents should be involved in their kids' education. Monica started out as a family planning educator for young people at Planned Parenthood, where she learned the tactics that end up encouraging kids to think about graphic sexual activities. We discuss why comprehensive sex education at a young age can actually pressure kids into having sex rather than prevent them and why "consent education" for kids shouldn't exist when kids aren't capable of sexual consent. Then we talk about the importance of parental roles in this sphere – how kids need boundaries and clarity from their parents and how many governmental institutions, as well as Planned Parenthood, see parents as "barriers to service." Then, Monica shares her story of how she had her son and came to Christ.

Today we're joined by Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, to discuss the failures of teachers' unions and public education. PragerU just released a short documentary, "The Bigger Bully in School: Why Public Education is Failing in America," which exposes today's teachers' unions as highly funded and politicized organizations that do nothing but hurt the public education system and protect terrible teachers. And the worst part? These unions are not even hiding it. We discuss how they get away with this and what we can do to get involved and fight back for our kids. Then, we react to some of the worst teacher/school board TikToks we can find.

Today we're joined by Jennifer Bilek, investigative journalist, who has uncovered the powerful individuals funding and pushing transgenderism in children. We cover powerful figures and corporations who have a vested interest in pushing this ideology and discuss how transgenderism unmoors us from reality, which only leads to the redefinition of what it means to be human through technology and medicine. We take a look at the Pritzker family, one of the wealthiest families in the world, and their involvement in the transgender agenda. Then, we answer the question of why it's so important to hold fast to true and accurate language.

Today we're ringing in the new year with a recap of 2022. This was a big year, complete with huge events like the war in Ukraine beginning, the Respect for Marriage Act, and Roe being overturned. We go month by month and break down the tragedy, clownery, and humor of the year, covering people like Dylan Mulvaney, Ron DeSantis, Trump, and Queen Elizabeth. We also look at some of the weirdest smaller moments of the year, like the slap heard 'round the world (Will Smith's Oscars slap), AOC's brave and courageous arrest, and Sam Brinton's wild luggage thievery.

Today we're joined by Joel Berry, managing editor of the Babylon Bee, to discuss why satire is more important than ever and his story of finding Christ after being raised in fundamentalist Christianity. We talk about the very joke (written by Joel) that got the Babylon Bee suspended on Twitter earlier this year and why the outlet chose not to take the joke down. Joel shares his story of what triggered his interest in politics and theology and ultimately what led him down the path of giving his life to the Lord. Then, we talk about why some people leave the church and become ex-vangelicals and why others, like Joel, stay. We talk about why conservative humor is only made better when leftists get mad, and we finish off with a rousing game of Would You Rather.
