Relatable With Allie Stuckey

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. --- Timecodes: (01:05) Academic biology (09:43) Can you teach biology without teaching X and Y chromosomes?

Today we’re joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," for part two of our discussion on the Hebrew Roots Movement. We start off with some parallels to the Reformation but with the clear distinction that our authority is not Martin Luther, it's Scripture. We talk about how culture has seeped into the church in negative ways and how we tend to overcorrect and find opposite solutions that still may not be biblical. We explain how we shouldn't be reactionary to culture but know that culture should grow from the church and that God is gracious to see our overcorrections and bring us back.

Today we’re joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss the Hebrew Roots Movement, which places a strong emphasis on Hebrew traditions and the law of Moses. We start off with some fundamentals of the Hebrew Roots Movement and comparisons to Armstrongism. How do they view the feasts and sabbath, and for followers of the HRM, is salvation tied up in keeping those feasts/law? We explain how when legalism becomes your identity, the rest of our faith breaks down and how we need to be careful with man-made traditions. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow!

Today, we're covering more questions asked by you. Should Christians kiss before marriage, and should you attend your gay son or daughter's wedding?

Today we're joined by Dr. George Barna, author and one of the country's leading faith and culture researchers, on the state of the Millennial generation and the church. We answer the big question: How do we help Millennials thrive when they have such unique challenges? Millennials are the largest generation ever, and some startling stats reveal that many don't even believe there is absolute value to life or moral truths. We go over the biggest pain issues that Millennials deal with and how to address them and explain why maximum happiness can never be the goal of life, as many Millennials are led to believe. We also discuss the scary fact that only slightly more than one-third of pastors actually hold a biblical worldview and what we can do to turn this around.

Today, we’re joined by Ken Ham, founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis, for part two of our discussion on creation, evolution, and dinosaurs. We start off with the question of why people get so emotional about their belief in the age of the Earth and what evolutionists really believe about evolving species. We also explain how life is meaningless from an atheist's perspective and that things atheists claim matter, such as climate change, don't actually mean much from their perspective. We also talk about how non-Christians can never be consistent when talking about morality and how everyone believes in objective truth in some capacity, even if they claim they don't. Then, Ken calls for a reformation, which he says needs to go back to Genesis 1-11. --- Timecodes: (01:01) Age of the earth / “evolution” of species (08:00) Meaningless of life according to atheists (16:18) Hardened hearts (23:57) Calling for a reformation / Genesis 1-11 (30:56) Why do we take Genesis literally? --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranc

Today we’re joined by Ken Ham, founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis, to discuss creation, evolution, and dinosaurs. We start off with an explanation of why Genesis 1-11 matters so much both in the biblical narrative and in our lives. Why is it so easy for people to dismiss Genesis 1-11 and not other parts of the Bible? Then we take a look at operational science vs. historical science when it comes to the dating of the Earth. How old really is the Earth, and how would we know scientifically? We dive into Darwinism and his dangerous belief system and then ask the question we know you’ve been waiting for: did dinosaurs really exist? --- Timecodes: (01:04) Creation accounts & literalism of the Bible (07:53) Why do people disregard Genesis 1-11 and not other parts of the bible?

Today we're focusing on a few big questions. Is IVF a Christian liberty issue, and how do we reconcile the cost of private Christian education? We start off with an overview of why IVF is ethically wrong, though not ultimately a salvation issue, and we also cover why Christian school is worth investing in. And another important question: which fast-food restaurant has the best chicken nuggets? --- Timecodes: (00:57) Fast food chicken nugget discussion (15:16) Is IVF a Christian liberty issue?

Today we're joined by author, pastor, and Bible professor Dr. Christopher Yuan to discuss his incredible testimony and new video curriculum "The Holy Sexuality Project." We start off with his story of transformation from an agnostic gay man to a redeemed Bible professor. Not only did God turn his unbelief into belief right from a prison, but God also freed him from the bondage of drugs and promiscuity. Can you be a Christian and practice homosexuality at the same time? We answer this question and dive into why the biblical model for marriage is so important. Then, Dr. Yuan breaks down "The Holy Sexuality Project" and why it’s so important to talk with our kids about biblical sexuality in appropriate ways.  --- Timecodes: (02:05) Dr. Yuan's story (16:37) Turning to drugs (22:28) Reaction to parents becoming Christian (33:32) Coming to Christ (43:49) Can you be a Christian and practice homosexuality?

Today we're joined by Dr. Roger McFillin, clinical psychologist and co-host of the "Radically Genuine" podcast, for part two of our discussion on the truth behind ADHD diagnoses and Big Pharma's role in it all. We continue our breakdown of Adderall and other ADHD medications and what the long-term consequences of these drugs might be. We also explain the unexpected origins of ADHD drugs, how they're marketed, and why the pharmaceutical industry has a vested interest in people taking them whether or not they're needed. What other factors contribute to "ADHD symptoms," and how can parents help their kids who may genuinely be struggling with focus and concentration? --- Timecodes: (01:04) Adderall (09:14) Origin of ADHD meds (12:17) Other factors contributing to ADHD symptoms (20:11) Marketing of ADHD medications (27:44) Advice for parents of struggling kids --- Today's Sponsors: EdenPURE — when you buy one Thunderstorm you get one FREE, this week only!

Today we're joined by Dr. Roger McFillin, clinical psychologist and co-host of the "Radically Genuine" podcast, to discuss the truth behind ADHD diagnoses and Big Pharma's role in it all. We start out with a clarification on what clinical psychology is and is not and recap our previous conversation on depression and depression medications. We talk about the ADHD phenomenon happening in America, and Dr. McFillin claims that while some indeed may struggle with focus and concentration, ADHD is actually just a socially constructed disorder. We talk about how ADHD is significantly over-diagnosed and how the majority of parents never thought their child's behavior was problematic until they heard it from a teacher. But do teachers have a right to help diagnose our kids, and what exactly are the consequences of liberally diagnosing ADHD? One may be that ADHD medications like Adderall tend to be a gateway to reliance on further mental health drugs. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow! --- Timecodes: (01:17) Clarifica

Today we're hitting some of your big questions: How do single people find stability? What should Christians think about sage and crystals? Why do people sincerely feel kids should be able to choose their gender?

Today we're joined by one of our favorite guests, Fr. Calvin Robinson, to discuss some recent viral cases of blasphemy in the church. First we look at a clip of a female Lutheran pastor reciting what she calls the “sparkle creed,” which claims that God is non-binary and has “two dads.” We explain how this isn’t love, and it all comes down to personal arrogance in trying to shape scripture around us rather than the reverse. We also look at a German pastor who claims that “God is queer” and a “climate choir” singing in a church in the U.K., which just proves that the climate cult is its own religious idol. Why do progressive Christians cheer the ever-growing trans agenda on, and what’s going on with the abortion debate in the U.K.? Then we end with a little bit of encouragement. --- Timecodes: (01:14) "Sparkle creed" (14:01) German pastor says "God is queer" (16:10) Climate cult (23:46) Trans archdeacon (29:23) Responsibility of pastors (32:20) Parental custody over "trans" beliefs (37:45) Abortion debate in

Today we're talking about the former lead singer of '90s Christian band Caedmon's Call, who deconstructed and has now put out a song praising drag queens, most notably his friend “Flamy Grant.” We discuss the startling trend of Christian musicians choosing to deconstruct, usually after some acceptance or adoption of the LGBTQ lifestyle. We cover why these are linked and some other reasons that might be behind Christian artists abandoning God. Then, the Library of Congress apologized for “misgendering” an author, adding to the list of very important things governmental institutions are focusing on. We also discuss Ohio’s Issue 1 vote, which struck down a measure that would make it harder to enshrine abortion rights into Ohio law, and the troubling story coming out of Utah of a 75-year-old man who was deemed a “credible threat to the president” and killed by the FBI. Is there something even more nefarious and ideological going on behind the scenes? --- Timecodes: (00:00) Intro (04:25) Derek Webb & Flamy Gran

Today we're talking about R&B artist Ne-Yo, who went viral Sunday after slamming parents who allow their kids to make “life-changing decisions” through gender “transitions.” Soon after, an apology was posted to his Instagram account, but he quickly posted a video doubling down on his belief that it doesn't make any sense to "transition" kids and claiming that he won't be bullied into apologizing for his opinion. While the Left is slamming him for "transphobia," we commend him for sticking up for what's right despite the publicity risk. Then we're talking about Marcus Schroeder, a 19-year-old man who was arrested for reading the Bible out loud on the sidewalk next to a "family-friendly" drag event. After he was released with a warning, he gave a compelling speech full of biblical truth in front of the city council meeting regarding the event. We also discuss Texas Governor Greg Abbott signing into law a bill that bans men from competing in women's sports, a huge win for women. --- Timecodes: (00:52) New mer

Today we're talking about a new survey that shows high school-age boys trending conservative and girls trending liberal. What led to this drastic split, and do our gender differences have anything to do with it? We think so. Also, a TikToker went viral for sharing her horrible experience getting harassed in San Francisco, but also touts explicitly leftist views and likely helped vote in the government that allows such behavior. We explain this disconnect and why it doesn't have to be this way. Then we're joined by presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to discuss his campaign policies and how his faith background shapes his values and worldview. We discuss his views on abortion and gender ideology and touch on what might make him different from other candidates. --- Timecodes: (00:00) New merch item & intro (04:40) Political ideologies of high school boys/girls (13:30) Why is Gen Z moving left?

Today we're talking about the growing trend of movie-themed church sermons and series. We discuss Saddleback Church's recent "At the Movies" sermon series, which featured sermons on "Toy Story" and "Top Gun" and how those stories reflect some spiritual truths about us. We explain how the problem isn't stories or films themselves, many of which can indeed reflect biblical truths, but the focus on ourselves. Saddleback claims that "movies are a reflection of us – each story shows us a glimpse of the human experience." But church isn't about us, nor should it be. We explain the seemingly incessant need some churches feel to be seeker-friendly at all costs – sometimes even at the cost of biblical literacy. We also discuss a recent controversial Jamie Foxx Instagram post and the mob of teens who overtook Union Square in New York City last week.  --- Timecodes: (01:03) Intro (07:34) Church at the Movies (43:50) Jamie Foxx's Instagram post (52:04) New York City riots --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angele

Today we're joined by the one and only Dennis Quaid to talk about his faith journey, his expansive acting career, and his new gospel album, "Fallen: A Gospel Record For Sinners." He shares his struggle with addiction and how his faith pulled him out of a dead end, as well as how his Baptist upbringing helped shape his faith and music today. We discuss the darkness of Hollywood, the decision to choose more "faith-based" projects, and, of course, how influential "The Parent Trap" was on us Millennial women. Then we look at few stories in the news: a Reddit post asks ChatGPT to write Bible passages affirming transgenderism, and MrBeast's Chris Tyson is back in the news with a "new" voice. We explain the biblical reality that the body matters and give some biblical examples of God affirming the gender binary.

Today we're starting off with a response to Candace Owens' interview with Andrew Tate, in which she asks Tate about conservatives who have criticized him (and name-drops us!). We explain how, despite the assumption that we don't understand the appeal of Tate, we do think he says certain things that are correct and absolutely understand why young men might gravitate toward him. We take a look at Tate's answer to Candace asking about criticism and overall response to his content. Then, NBA player Jonathan Isaac joins us to discuss his new clothing brand UNITUS. We look into our culture and see more and more companies move away from family and American values. While they're free to do that, we're also free to create alternatives. We talk the parallel economy and how people are looking for brands that don't hate them. We also talk about becoming a father, leaning into courageously standing up for his values, and navigating career and life difficulties. Shop UNITUS here: https://weareunitus.com/ --- Timecodes:
