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

Today we welcome our friend Jennifer Lahl back to the show by popular demand. Jennifer is the founder and president of the Center for Bioethics and Culture, and as you may know, has dedicated herself to raising awareness about the ethical problems and potential dangers of 'big fertility' and the surrogacy industry. Last time, we talked about the corruption surrounding this industry, and today we're going into the ethics and philosophy behind IVF, frozen embryos, and surrogacy. As science progresses, more and more aspects of childbearing can be replicated artificially, which raises serious concerns about how we view women, family, and life itself. Unfortunately, there is major financial incentive to keep the myth of surrogacy going, as companies stand to make huge profits, and the women they deceive are convinced they're doing something morally right. --- (0:00) Introduction (3:23) Interview with Jennifer Lahl (5:00) Questions about surrogacy (39:17) Let's talk about IVF - what do we need to consider? --- Today's Sponsors: Chamonix by Genucel helps you look younger & promises results that make you smile —guaranteed — or 100% of your money back!

Today we're talking about COVID and Allie's personal experience with the virus. After nearly two years, the 'vid finally visited the Stuckey household. We discuss how this saga put in perspective the rest of the pandemic and reminds us of all the times the government and the media shot their own credibility in the foot. We also talk about the Biden administration's apparent desire to worsen the pandemic, as evidenced by the FDA's removal of emergency use authorization for some types of monoclonal antibodies. --- Today's Sponsors: Masterworks is an alternative investment platform that's made investing in multi-million dollar art easy & affordable for everyday investors.

Many people who identify as Christians don't know their Bibles. According to a recent study, while 61% of Millennials profess to be Christians, only 2% have a biblical worldview as defined by Barna. Ligonier Ministry's "The State of Theology" reveals why: Many self-identifying Christians don't know the basic tenets of their faith. This theological confusion negatively affects people's worldview in a way that impacts society for the worst. The time has gone for true Christians to be complacent. As the world strays further from God's truth, we must hold fast to it. That starts with knowing what it is. --- Today's Links Millennials Have Radically Different Beliefs About Respect, Faith, and America https://bit.ly/3KHG3te The State of Theology https://bit.ly/33JO945 Your questions, biblical answers at Got Questions. https://bit.ly/3ABe6Pq Allie's Recommended Resources https://bit.ly/3FRExBb --- Previously on Relatable: Ep 132 | Predestination https://apple.co/3IuQSNy Ep 135 | Socialism https://apple.co/3g9Vj4p Ep 165 | Nancy Pearcey https://apple.co/3qTLDB6 Ep 297 | The Christian Case for Trump | Guest: Dr. Wayne Grudem https://apple.co/3IwYHCj ------ Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're talking to Jennifer Lahl, an author and filmmaker and president of the Center for Bioethics and Culture. She is currently dedicated to raising awareness about the corruption of the surrogacy industry and the potential dangers of in vitro fertilization. Although many Christians support these things because they are pro-family, Jennifer explains why this method of having a family comes with a higher number of problems and victims and exposes the big money that the fertility and surrogacy industry rakes in. --- Today's Sponsors: A'del Natural Cosmetics is a family-run, holistic, handcrafted & toxin-free cosmetic company where ALL of their products are made in the USA.

Today we're mainly focusing on theology, starting with a reaction to Oklahoma pastor Mike Todd's strange sermon, in which he spat on his hand and rubbed it on a churchgoer to make a point about vision or something. Gross. However, Todd has realized since then that he took things a little too far and made an apology video. In the video, he encourages people to watch the rest of the sermon and not just the clip going around on social media ... so we did. And, unfortunately, his sermon turned out to be the kind of exegetical teaching that is a hallmark of prosperity gospel. Then, we discuss the recent rush by the mainstream media to condemn Justice Neil Gorsuch for not wearing a mask to hear arguments at the Supreme Court, which is apparently putting Justice Sotomayor in danger. Even though they're both triple-vaccinated and tested regularly for infection. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Intro (0:59) Mike Todd's viral sermon illustration, reaction, & his apology (17:53) The difference between eisegetical & exegetical preaching (31:26) Justice Neil Gorsuch refuses to wear a mask on the bench during oral arguments --- Today's Sponsors: Marley Spoon & Martha Stewart are the Meal Kit That Tastes Like No Other & it's packed with 40 offerings each week!

Today we're demolishing the myth of overpopulation, the basis for the "anti-natalist" movement that says that people shouldn't have kids for the good of humanity. We look at the history of this worldview and why people are so convinced that overpopulation is a serious threat to humanity. This type of thinking has wound its way through some of the worst ideologies in history, from actual white supremacists in America to the Nazis and then to Planned Parenthood. However, the threat of overpopulation is far from fact; it's just a theory that has already been debunked by history. Nevertheless, this theory has taken hold of many people, inspiring them to view children and family negatively. Many of the most influential and wealthy people in the world think this way too, and they're moving mountains of money to organizations that match their ideology. But, as we'll discuss and back up with biblical and historical evidence, having kids is a credit to the world, not a debit. Note: Thomas Malthus’s name is pronounced Malth-us, not Malth-e-us. --- Today's Sponsors: Reliefband is 100% drug-free, non-drowsy & provides all-natural, long-lasting relief of nausea — with zero side effects!

Today we're talking to Josh Hammer, conservative commentator and opinion editor at Newsweek. Josh is here to break down a few of the stories that have taken over the news in the last few days, starting with the hostage situation that took place in a North Texas synagogue. Apparently, an armed Muslim extremist thought he could negotiate the release of a convicted terrorist by taking some innocent people hostage. Thankfully, no one lost their lives. However, since then, the media have been working overtime to hide any information about the case that runs counter to their narrative that says white supremacy is basically the only threat America is facing. Then, we discuss the heavy-handed speech Joe Biden gave in Georgia in support of the Democrats' "voting rights" bill. Josh explains how, despite the name, this bill would actually dilute the power of the average American's vote. Lastly, we talk about what the GOP should do and what issues it should focus on heading into the new year in order to capitalize on Democrats' failures and do right by their constituents. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Intro (9:30) Interview with Josh Hammer (10;00) Breaking down the Colleyville, TX synagogue hostage situation & the media/FBI's reaction to it (30:22) Voting legislation in the Senate - will it pass?
