Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey @RelatablewABS

Watch the interview with VP JD Vance: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-GCz9X…

Allie sat down with Vice President JD Vance to talk about one of those most heated conversations on the right: Israel. He addresses accusations of Israeli influence on U.S politics and calls out two critical mistakes pro-Israel people in the United States make: “On the one hand, is not delineating between America’s interests and Israel’s interests because they’re not always the same. The second is always conflating criticism of a particular government with Jew hatred.“ Allie brings up “Israel Derangement Syndrome” on the right which goes beyond not liking Israel’s policies and the obsession with blaming their problems on Israel and disagreements with Trump on some secret Israeli-influence. She sees that prominently on the right than a true “Israel-First” obsession. Vance agrees both are bad.

I asked VP JD Vance about the surge in at-home abortions due to mail-order abortion pills. Under the Biden FDA, the abortion pill became accessible by mail, which has led to a surge in at-home abortions. The policy has not yet been reversed by the Trump administration. While the admin has scored some major pro-life wins, this is a big concern for many pro-life advocates. We also discuss abortion abolitionism vs. incrementalism, and what really works.

Vice President JD Vance shares the exact moment he found out Usha was pregnant with their fourth child. “I came home pretty late that night. I go to the bathroom to take off my suit, and there's one of the instant tests there with a positive. And that was how Usha told me. I remember I was so excited." After Charlie was assassinated, he says a heartbreaking and tearful conversation with Erika on the flight from Utah to Arizona led him and Usha to try for a fourth baby. Six weeks later, they were expecting.

“We are slowly disabling our children.” Yikes! Super Nanny Jo Frost is calling out parents who refuse to foster independence in their kids. Instead of potty training, teaching them to ride bikes, or letting them brush their teeth by themselves, too many parents are doing these tasks for their kids, failing to help them thrive. The consequence, she says, is a generation of incapable kids: kids who don’t develop critical thinking, dexterity, or athleticism because they were never challenged. The future for these children - and for the rest of us - is bleak if parents don’t start encouraging capability and self-sufficiency.

Supernanny, Jo Frost, says when it comes to parenting, independence isn’t something that just happens. It’s taught. “Every time we step in and do it for them, or avoid teaching because it's slower, messier, or inconvenient, we take away an opportunity for them to become capable." We’re not suppose to outsource our parenting and disciplining to tablets and technology. Our children are our future leaders. If they’re not able to reach those developmental milestones simply because parents aren’t fostering independence, then that spells danger for all of our futures.

“Yesteryear” is Reddit-tier anti-conservative, anti-Christian slop. À la The Handmaid’s Tale, it fantasizes a world in which all conservative, Christian women are subjugated by their husbands and victims of their own archaic worldview. Burke actually makes the same mistake as the tradwife influencers she demonizes: she conflates trad influencer culture with conservative Christianity and connects the two via accusations of hypocrisy and oppression. It’s a juicy, albeit overused, idea. And it’s one that progressives and Hollywood never tire of—which is why it was picked up as a movie before the book was even released. It was an entertaining read, but the spirit behind it, I believe, is malicious and bitter.

"I don't think I'm going to heaven as a man. I don't think I'm going to look at Jesus and I don't think He's going to see a man. I think He's going to see the girl that He made." Haley Furst spent years identifying as a man and embracing a transgender identity. But after a coworker faithfully shared the gospel with her, her heart softened to the truth, she put her faith in Christ and surrendered her life to Him. Today, Haley is living as the woman God created her to be and sharing how Jesus redeemed and transformed her life.

“I want to follow Jesus. But I don't get to do that because I'm transgender." That's what Haley believed until a co-worker's Christ-like example challenged everything she thought she knew about Christianity. After a simple prayer inviting Jesus into her life, she encountered the love of Christ for herself. "Just a touch of His love made me mourn all the years I had spent apart from that. And I knew in that moment that I could never spend one day of my life apart from that ever again." Jesus saved her, and she eventually realized she was the woman God had made her to be.

There has been a lot of support for Karmelo Anthony following the verdict. Instead of showing compassion to the Metcalf family, Jasmine Crockett says the Metcalfs don't know the kind of fear and agony that black mothers experience. Her words of “sympathy” are not for the Metcalfs. It's actually to say, 'You don't really know suffering. You've never been through anything as hard as black moms.' If black mothers fear for their son's lives, the fear should be toward other black men because statistically, black men are the ones killing black men. It has nothing to do with white people, the police, or Austin Metcalf.

Jasmine Crockett says this about the Karmelo Anthony verdict: “Black women, especially black women who have black male children, live in fear and agony every single day. A fear and agony that I promise you the Metcalfs probably never spend a day living that way. And we're going to have to have just some real conversations about race in this country." This is a cruel, calloused, and evil response for a congresswoman to say in reaction to a verdict of a trial that has to do with a boy being murdered. Her words of sympathy are not for the Metcalfs. It's actually to say, 'You don't really know suffering. You've never been through anything as hard as black moms.' Why do moms of black boys and black men live in fear and agony? It has nothing to do with Austin Metcalf, or the police, or with white people. If black mothers fear for their son's lives, the fear should be toward other black men because statistically, black men are the ones killing black men. Every single day, black boys are killing black boys in the streets. That has nothing to do with white people or with the police.

Today marks the beginning of what some call Pride Month. For Christians, we celebrate today like we do every day - that this is the day the Lord has made, so let us rejoice and be glad in it. When we see the acronym LGBTQ, we don’t see sexual identities to celebrate, we see image-bearers of God who are doing what’s right in their own eyes and need the kind of love that points to Jesus and His truth. The truth is God made us male and female so that a man can leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. God IS love and He has the authority to define it. He calls homosexuality a sin, and holy marriage between a man and woman very good. The most loving thing we can do is agree with God. We can’t love others by affirming sin. This is my response to why we don’t celebrate Pride Month:

Did the government warn pastors of impending alien doom? @MikeWingerii has investigated the claims of several charismatic pastors who say they had access to secret government briefings about aliens. These faith leaders led people to believe government officials were sharing classified information about UFOs and an extraterrestrial plot to disprove Christianity. But, when people began to question the pastors’ claims, many of them retracted their previous statements. Winger says the meeting actually involved some pastors discussing publicly available information. The meeting did not involve the government. Here's his breakdown of what really happened & how it ties into a bigger problem that exists within charismatic leadership:

Hey, Daddy Gang: Alex Cooper is lying to you. Cooper just announced her pregnancy. We love that for her. But, what she doesn’t admit is: for most women, pursuing the promiscuity she promotes won’t end in a marriage proposal. The result isn’t a beautiful wedding and a pregnancy announcement. It’s STDs and a broken heart. It’s a crisis at 35 when you realize that your fertility window is closing and there are no prospective fathers on the horizon. Cooper was able to rich-and-famous her way out of that consequence, but most of her audience won’t have that ability. Alex Cooper hasn’t actually bought what she’s selling. She’s made millions convincing women of the benefits of one night stands, while she’s abandoned that lifestyle for the more traditional—and fulfilling—route. If you’ve already been sold on Cooper’s empty promises and have regrets, you are not without hope and you are not beyond redemption. But if you’re a young woman who’s just begun taking Alex’s life advice, here’s my warning to you:

Former band members from the popular 90's CCM band Avalon have re-released the song "Testify To Love" as an LGBTQ affirming anthem and claim it's always has been about queer love. One of those former members, Melissa Greene, writes in her Substack post alongside photos of another band member kissing his husband at the altar that "love is for everyone" and "Michael never needed to be redeemed. He was always whole and worthy." This phenomenon of believing that we are somehow nicer than God, that Romans 1 is too harsh or that passages affirming the holiness of marriage between one man and one woman are simply too difficult to accept, is false. We go to God's word for what's true about sexuality and marriage. If something in the Word of God seems wrong, cruel, or confusing to us, the problem is not with God. It’s not with His Word. It’s with us.

I have firm parameters around how I use tools like Grok because of a big concern I have about what we’re giving up when we outsource our creativity and critical thinking to AI. I think we’re surrendering part of what it means to be made in God’s image when we trade our reason for convenience. AI isn’t always evil, but I think we have to be very careful about the power we give it. These are my 5 reasons for why Christians should be restrictive about our reliance on AI, both for ourselves and our kids:

I will never forget this unplanned, Holy Spirit–filled moment during Charlie Kirk’s memorial when the band began to play and the crowd held up signs with Charlie’s face that said, “Here I am, Lord send me.” It felt like, for a brief moment, tragedy might spark a spiritual revival and unify Christians on the Right. But in the months since, things have felt increasingly divided and disoriented. It appears we've lost people to a conspiratorial world view and pro-Islam world view. I asked @JeremyDBoreing whether we’re heading toward a great revival or total fracture. His answer, and his reflection on Pentecost, is powerful:
