Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we’re joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss aliens. With more and more speculation about aliens in the media, we ask if it's actually possible for aliens to exist from a biblical standpoint. We take a look at the creation order and whether other sentient beings can exist outside our planet. Then we explain why extraterrestrial practices always seem to be connected to cult practices and talk about the idea that aliens are just demons. And if alien encounters have happened for years now as some claim, why don't we have further evidence? Check out the Cultish website and Instagram! --- Timecodes: (00:50) Is it possible for aliens to exist?

Today, we’re joined again by detransitioner Laura Perry Smalts, author of "Transgender to Transformed: A Story of Transition That Will Truly Set You Free," to continue her testimony of how she went from believing she was a man to embracing her womanhood under Christ. Laura shares the timeline of her hormone "treatments," double mastectomy and hysterectomy, and the moment she realized that these surgeries and treatments wouldn't actually make her a man. We discuss the common claim made by "trans" people that they are truly happier after transitioning and the truth that it's often a lie to keep up appearances and convince themselves of the lie. Laura shares her heartbreak at realizing she had lost the opportunity to have children and how God ultimately reached her at her lowest. We talk about the dignity in biblical womanhood, God's love for women, and how these truths led Laura to accept who God made her to be. We also share some advice on how to approach loved ones who think they're trans.

Today, we’re joined by detransitioner Laura Perry Smalts, author of "Transgender to Transformed: A Story of Transition That Will Truly Set You Free," to share her testimony of how she went from believing she was a man to embracing her womanhood under Christ. We start off with Laura's childhood, during which she became convinced that her mother wanted her to be a boy. This, combined with early sexual abuse and not fitting in with other girls, eventually led her to believe she needed to become a man. Laura shares how desperate she was for male attention and the extreme behavior that led her family to begin worrying, as well as the transgender support group that first convinced her to seek "trans care." We discuss how testosterone initially made her feel amazing, but she quickly realized that the more she transitioned, the more imprisoned she was and that she would never truly become a man despite going through the motions.

Today, we’re joined by influencer and blogger Allie Lundeen, also known as Proverbs 31 Girl, to talk about her drive to make things beautiful and share some hard stories of loss. First, we talk about how everything can be made beautiful and how it doesn't necessarily take someone crafty to make a home feel comfortable and warm. We talk about what a "Proverbs 31 woman" actually is and why it's important to be resourceful. Then, Allie shares the story of her father getting sick with COVID, being denied certain potentially life-saving medications in the hospital, and being given a deadly medication instead that she believes ultimately led to his death. We discuss the darkness she felt in the hospital, seeing that COVID "precautions" were not about safety and empathy after all. We also talk about the death of her month-old baby girl and how to use hard stories to encourage others and remind ourselves that the testing of our faith is for our good. --- Timecodes: (01:00) Proverbs 31 Girl (04:10) Becoming a DIY person and making things beautiful (10:40) Balancing desire and contentment (13:38) Insecurity of being a Christian influencer / Instagram censoring (17:40) How does this generate income?

Today we’re joined by Stella Morabito, author of "The Weaponization of Loneliness: How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer," to discuss how the Left uses social isolation as a political weapon and how we can fight back. First, we talk about how we are hardwired to connect with others and therefore why social isolation is such a powerful tool to be used against us. We look at Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's comments on the loneliness epidemic and explain that his plans for combatting loneliness actually lead us down the path of more government control and ultimately more loneliness. We explain why people get strength from the private sphere and why the government can't control us from the private sphere. Then we take a look at the drive to socially engineer our societies and relationships and how this was exploited during COVID by elites who never had to endure the consequences. We also look at the theological implications and explain biblically why denying our innate nature leads to depression and chaos. You can get Stella's book "The Weaponization of Loneliness" here: https://www.amazon.com/Weaponization-Loneliness-Tyrants-Isolation-Silence/dp/1637582021/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=PJJnJ&content-id=amzn1.sym.579192ca-1482-4409-abe7-9e14f17ac827&pf_rd_p=579192ca-1482-4409-abe7-9e14f17ac827&pf_rd_r=130-6694960-6729528&pd_rd_wg=HFypi&pd_rd_r=186aaa13-2d67-4482-8c37-447655a70ebb&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk --- Timecodes: (03:30) Loneliness epidemic (10:50) Surgeon General's plan to combat loneliness (19:15) Democrat policies & getting rid of suburbs (23:40) Importance of private sphere & first amendment (32:30) Propoganda (35:45) How loneliness was exploited during Covid (44:30) Theological implication --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!
