Ep 1009 | Willie Robertson on Sharing the Gospel | Guest: Willie Robertson

Today we’re joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss Scientology. Because Scientology is in the news so often, we start off with an explanation of what it actually is and how it gets people hooked. We discuss how similar its structure sounds to multi-level marketing and the prosperity gospel and what was going on in America that caused this to boom in the '50s, '60s and '70s. We talk about the wild "intergalactic" lore of Scientology and how, similar to other cults, what actually goes on behind the scenes is never communicated to a potential convert. At Scientology's core, the problems it is trying to solve are the same ones we all try to solve, but the solutions are all man-made and the opposite of freedom. We offer a theological perspective and explain why Scientology and Christianity are so opposed to each other. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow! Check out the Cultish website and Instagram! --- Timecodes: (01:05) What is Scientology?

Today we're joined by Dr. Voddie Baucham, dean of theology at African Christian University in Zambia, to discuss his 'Fault Lines' curriculum and why it's so important for the church to understand how to talk about race and social justice in a biblical way. We discuss why we need to define terms such as "social justice," that have led Christians to talk past each other. Why are race and social justice the topics that tends to divide the church, and what can we do about it? We also look at the difference between how somewhere like Zambia sees the topic of race versus America, and we touch on why disparities do not equal discrimination.

Today we're joined by a show favorite, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, for part two of our discussion on big fertility's increasing presence in our culture. We start off with the ethical issue of frozen embryos from IVF, or "souls on ice," and what to do with them. We discuss whether embryo adoption is a viable option and what the repercussions might still be. We look at a few surrogacy and IVF horror stories and explain just how strong and essential the mother-baby bond is. We also discuss Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni and her anti-surrogacy measures, which, despite being good measures, have been widely criticized. Then, a controversial question: Should gay couples adopt? --- Timecodes: (01:03) Embyros on ice / embryo adoption (11:10) Surrogate baby in Mexico (14:05) Paris Hilton's embryos on ice/ Brittney Pearson (23:07) Mother / baby bond (28:40) Giorgia Meloni's anti-surrogacy bill (35:32) Should gay couples adopt? --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — get $30 OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.

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. --- Timecodes: (01:30) Why are more people talking about surrogacy/IVF (03:50) California "redefining infertility" bill (13:13) Misidentifying victims (19:30) Infertile women (24:40) Celebrity surrogacies (30:05) Primal wound (33:30) Adoption (36:55) 'Ethical' IVF issues --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!

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! --- Timecodes: (02:30) The Babylon Bee explanation of gender (05:37) Science is offensive (09:03) Kyle's process of picking a gender (12:27) Raising woke theybies (19:56) Kyle's marriage norms (22:30) Attracting other genders (26:13) Tater tot sexuality (29:00) Toxic dating (31:38) Lizzo (34:40) Drag shows (37:49) Beep/boop pronouns (42:19) Pregnant men (44:00) Wing dysphoria --- Today's Sponsors: Naturally It's Clean — visit https://naturallyitsclean.com/allie and use promo code "ALLIE" to receive 15% off your order.

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.
