Ep 1054 | 'It Ends with Us' Is Emotional Porn for Women

Today we're taking a rest from the intensity of political news to talk about some lighter topics and offer some words of encouragement to the many of us who are feeling burned out by current events. We start off talking about attending a recent Backstreet Boys concert and our thoughts on their newer, not-so-classic songs. We then transition into a message of positivity for the Christian who is overwhelmed by the seemingly never-ending stream of bad news coming from all directions. Lastly, we talk about the disappointment that is Chris Pratt distancing himself from his faith in a recent interview with Men's Health. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (0:55) Allie recounts going to her first Backstreet Boys concert (12:46) Some encouragement — this is a spiritual battle happening right now!

Today we're continuing our discussion on the landmark decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. In the wake of this historic event, there is a torrent of misinformation about the issue flying around the internet. The most common lie being told by the Left seems to be that outlawing abortion also outlaws procedures to deal with miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. We thoroughly debunk that narrative, then discuss the many "trigger laws" that are springing into effect in many states. These laws were designed to take effect if and when Roe was overturned and are meant to restrict abortion in the states where they're on the books. We discuss some of the false information circulating about these laws and read some of what they actually say. Lastly, we have a strong message for the evangelicals who are either angry about the Dobbs decision or who are happy about it but won't say so publicly. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (4:58) Debunking some viral posts & propaganda (20:11) What do different states say about abortion vs. ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages?

Today we're celebrating and analyzing the amazing, historic decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. What this means is that abortion will no longer be considered a constitutional right, and any regulation on it will need to be sorted out in the state legislatures. Christians have been fighting for this to happen for 50 years, ever since Roe was first decided in 1973, and now finally all that passion and hard work have come to fruition. We discuss what the justices actually said in their opinions, and contrary to what the Left would like you to think, the conservative justices were laser-focused on making their decision based on constitutionality, not morality or religion. We also look at some of the Left's reactions to the Dobbs decision, including ridiculous meltdowns and outright calls for violence. --- Today's Sponsors: Naturally It's Clean — 'Relatable' listeners can get Allie's Essential Starter Kit, stocked with 4 great products, for 15% off at NaturallyItsClean.com/ALLIE!

Today we're discussing theology and how the current moment we are in politically and culturally is so much more than just Right vs. Left or Republicans vs. Democrats. On both sides you'll find professing Christians who don't actually keep the word of God in their hearts, and this is a reminder that the faith Christians have in God is a more important bond than our political affiliations. While debates about mandates, guns, or communism are important, they pale in comparison to the spiritual battle that we are called to take part in. Then, at the end, we have a fun Things I Just Don't Get segment, analyzing the question: why are millennials paralyzed by menial tasks? --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise- use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're talking to Becket Cook, host of "The Becket Cook Show" on YouTube & Author of the Book "A Change of Affection: A Gay Man's Incredible Story of Redemption". We discuss Becket's testimony, how he went from being raised Catholic to spending his college years and early adult life with no faith, very much caught up in the gay culture of California, to his conversion experience and redemption in Christ. We also talk about how to approach different situations in which Christians often find themselves at odds with secular culture. Should Christians attend their gay friends' weddings? Should they use transgender people's "preferred pronouns"? Becket gives his thoughts on how to navigate these scenarios in the most biblical and loving way possible. --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise- use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we welcome NBA player Jonathan Isaac back to the show to discuss the amazing success of his book, "Why I Stand," as well as what's been going on for him as an unvaccinated player in the NBA. Jonathan talks about why he wrote the book and why it was so important to him to stand by his values during the extremely chaotic summer of 2020 rather than capitulate to the BLM narrative. We also talk about his faith, how he became a Christian, and how that faith in God has helped him through his academic and athletic career.  --- Today's Sponsor: Hunter Douglas helps you 'live beautifully' with enhanced style & increased comfort in your home throughout the day with their PowerView technology shades that can be set to automatically reposition for the perfect balance of light, privacy, & insulation.

Today we're talking to Jacki, host of "The Jacki Daily Show," a podcast all about oil, energy, climate, and the politics surrounding these things. Jacki explains the current situation with oil and gas production that's causing record high gas prices and how Democrat "green" policies are basically just thinly veiled schemes to funnel more money to the already-wealthy and, arguably, they are harmful to the environment anyway. She also explains that the blame for what's going on truly does rest with Biden and Democrats, not Russia or COVID. While Donald Trump directed his administration to invest in American energy as much as possible, Biden's administration is using ESG scores to dissuade anyone from investing in oil and gas in a perfect example of how liberal politics negatively affects the everyday person. We also discuss climate change, how big a problem it really is, and how the government and media lie about it. --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise- use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

We discuss the importance of fatherhood and intact families and how to deal with strong-willed kids. At the end of the show, Ron talks about the future of the country and why be believes that things absolutely will get better in America. --- Today's Sponsors: EdenPURE — 3 Thunderstorm Air Purifiers for under $200 at EdenPureDeals.com.
