Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1268 ｜ Islamification Update, Christian Music Dominates & Why Women Aren’t Well

00:00:00.000 When Mary said, let it be done to me according to your word, she didn't know what her future

00:00:04.640 would look like exactly.

00:00:05.640 She knew that saying yes to God's plan would come with uncertainty, risk, and sacrifice.

00:00:11.660 And yet through her simple act of courage, she brought the savior of the world into the

00:00:17.360 world.

00:00:17.780 Today, countless mothers face their own version of that moment.

00:00:21.240 They sit in a clinic looking at an ultrasound for the first time, frightened and unsure

00:00:25.380 of what to do next.

00:00:26.460 Their own moment to say yes could slip away, but that's where you can make a big difference

00:00:32.080 through the generosity of people like you.

00:00:34.700 The pre-born network of clinics provides free ultrasounds, maternity care, diapers, baby

00:00:39.140 clothes, counseling, and so much more.

00:00:41.420 Meeting women with compassion right when they need it most.

00:00:44.560 This holiday season, don't let another life be lost.

00:00:47.400 Be the hope for hurting mothers and at-risk babies. 1.00

00:00:50.720 Just say yes to life today.

00:00:52.360 To donate to pre-born, dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby or go to pre-born.com slash

00:00:59.460 alley.

00:01:00.940 Epic City, the Islamic city in the state of Texas that was set to be built, hasn't actually

00:01:08.700 stopped its plans.

00:01:09.980 It's just rebranded as the meadow.

00:01:13.120 What is going on there?

00:01:14.640 And is there anything that Texas politicians can do about that?

00:01:18.340 Also, this month marks the 10-year anniversary of an Islamic attack in France that strangely 0.91

00:01:25.060 not very many people know about.

00:01:28.040 But there's also some good news on today's episode.

00:01:30.740 Christian music is taking over and it is changing maybe how people think about God and marriage

00:01:38.100 and children.

00:01:39.360 We've got all of that and so much more on today's episode of Relatable.

00:02:08.380 Allie15. 0.88

00:02:16.220 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

00:02:19.600 Happy Monday.

00:02:20.640 Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

00:02:23.180 Well, you know what I'm going to say.

00:02:24.860 God's eternal plan of redemption is going off without a hitch.

00:02:28.280 No matter what is happening personally in your life, no matter what's happening politically

00:02:32.380 or professionally, nothing surprises God.

00:02:35.540 He's never looking down at your life or America or the world saying, oh my gosh, I did not see

00:02:40.920 this coming.

00:02:41.520 I don't know what to do to fix this.

00:02:44.220 He's not waiting on us to figure it out.

00:02:46.680 He is sovereign over all of it and his eternal plan of redemption, him calling his people to

00:02:53.100 himself, him gathering his flock of sheep, all of that is proceeding forth completely and

00:02:59.600 totally unhindered.

00:03:01.200 Job 42 too reminds us that nothing can thwart the will of God.

00:03:05.980 We can violate his moral will.

00:03:07.760 Of course, we sin.

00:03:09.120 That is not something that God wants of us.

00:03:11.140 That is not something that God makes us do.

00:03:14.020 But God's sovereign will, his desire for things to go a certain way in history cannot

00:03:22.600 be thwarted by anything we think, say, or do because he has all the power.

00:03:30.180 And that is very good news.

00:03:32.120 That means that the only thing that we are responsible to do in any given moment is not

00:03:36.980 to control the outcomes of our own lives, of our children's lives, of the political election,

00:03:42.560 whatever it is.

00:03:44.160 It's to do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God.

00:03:48.440 That means stewarding our responsibility as a citizen well, as a mom well, as a wife well,

00:03:53.460 as an employee well, as a student well, as a friend well, as a church member well, as a

00:03:57.260 pastor well, whatever it is.

00:03:59.040 As a Christian well, that means stewarding every moment for the glory of God with the

00:04:03.540 best Holy Spirit-empowered excellence that we possibly can, having the faith that God

00:04:10.680 is going to take care of us and that the outcomes, the conclusions of all of this are totally

00:04:16.880 in his hands.

00:04:17.880 And that brings a lot of peace.

00:04:19.740 It is a start of a new week.

00:04:21.480 And we read in the book of Lamentations that God's mercies are new every morning.

00:04:27.500 How great is that?

00:04:28.560 He's not holding grudges against us, but his mercy through Christ is new every single day.

00:04:34.820 So no matter how you sinned yesterday, no matter how you failed yesterday, the shortcomings

00:04:39.420 that you just can't seem to get over, the obstacles that you seem to never be able to overcome,

00:04:47.420 God's mercy for today is brand new.

00:04:50.000 His mercy for you to be a patient mom and a loving wife and an excellent student or employee

00:04:55.920 or obedient in whatever realm you're in, that mercy for you is abundant and it is ready

00:05:01.620 for you today.

00:05:03.020 Open up your Bible, pray, seek forgiveness if you need to seek forgiveness, offer forgiveness

00:05:09.000 where you need to seek, offer forgiveness.

00:05:12.360 God's mercies are new for you and you are never too far off and you're never too far gone.

00:05:17.920 So let us start today thinking of these things, because as we get into the subjects for today,

00:05:24.300 some of them are not troubling.

00:05:26.520 Some of them are encouraging, actually, but we're going to start with one that is troubling.

00:05:30.640 And the reason that we talk about some troubling things is not because we want to be paranoid.

00:05:34.620 It's not because we want to be stuck down in the mud of, you know, distress or anxiety,

00:05:40.860 but we need to understand what's happening in our world.

00:05:44.000 The world and the country and the culture that our children are going to inherit, we have

00:05:49.420 to care about that and we have to know what's going on and we have to think about how do

00:05:54.080 we engage in a responsible Christian way to raise a respectful ruckus for the things that

00:06:00.440 matter, to push back against the darkness, to be salt and light in a world that is dark.

00:06:05.160 And that includes in the realm of culture and politics.

00:06:07.940 That's not too difficult or divisive for a Christian.

00:06:11.680 That is exactly one of the places where Christians need to be, because when Christians retreat from 0.98

00:06:18.380 any space or any sphere, it just gets darker and more chaotic and innocent people pay the

00:06:24.140 price.

00:06:24.660 That is certainly true when it comes to the Islamification of the United States, which is 1.00

00:06:30.300 something that is happening.

00:06:31.940 Like, there's so much debate on, you know, what really matters, like on the right right

00:06:36.500 now.

00:06:36.780 You have some people that will say, no, all of our problems are actually coming from Israel.

00:06:40.960 All of our problems are coming from one group of people. 0.96

00:06:44.380 And that's not to say we can't criticize any other country.

00:06:47.740 Of course we can, or that we shouldn't put American priorities first, because of course

00:06:51.180 we should.

00:06:52.260 But that seems to be a distraction from the real problem that is happening right now.

00:06:57.480 And that is the increasing dominance and pervasiveness of Islam in all of our communities. 1.00

00:07:05.260 You'll remember when we talked about Epic City.

00:07:07.400 This was the Muslim-centered neighborhood that was planned around the East Plano area.

00:07:14.220 And if you're not familiar, I grew up in Dallas, and so I can tell you that Plano is pretty

00:07:20.680 affluent.

00:07:21.200 It depends on which part of Plano you're talking about.

00:07:23.200 It's huge.

00:07:23.680 But it's a suburb of Dallas, of North Dallas, and Plano, like Frisco and Louisville, and a

00:07:30.400 lot of these North Dallas suburbs didn't have become extremely ethnically diverse.

00:07:36.620 They are hubs for a lot of new commerce, a lot of new businesses that are kind of importing

00:07:42.220 a lot of H-1B workers and simply a lot of immigrants into Texas to work these jobs.

00:07:49.740 So the demographics have changed a lot.

00:07:52.600 So Epic City, as I said, this was a Muslim-centered neighborhood that was planned actually in

00:07:59.480 Josephine, Texas, but based on kind of coming out of something called East Plano Islamic

00:08:06.920 Center.

00:08:07.380 So that's where you get the acronym EPIC.

00:08:09.620 And it faced a lot of scrutiny.

00:08:11.140 We talked about it at the time back in April amid a federal DOJ probe that was sparked by

00:08:16.020 Governor Greg Abbott and Senator John Cornyn.

00:08:18.240 And other Texas leaders that were concerned that a Muslim-exclusive neighborhood would

00:08:24.640 discriminate against Christians and Jewish people or push Sharia.

00:08:29.340 And we'll talk about what Sharia actually is.

00:08:32.380 However, that shut down.

00:08:34.660 Okay.

00:08:34.900 So there was a lot of concern.

00:08:36.960 And because of the controversy, they said, okay, we're not going to do this, even though

00:08:40.780 the people who said they were going to start Epic City, that they would be welcoming to everyone.

00:08:44.620 But we know how that goes.

00:08:46.180 So that same project is pushing forward again.

00:08:49.660 So it's no longer Epic City.

00:08:51.140 They decided that's causing a PR problem.

00:08:54.000 Now we are going to rename this.

00:08:57.180 We're not going to stop.

00:08:58.200 We're just going to rename it something very seemingly innocuous and inviting called The

00:09:03.480 Meadow.

00:09:04.060 So this is not supposed to be a separate city, but it's supposed to just be a neighborhood

00:09:12.360 that happens to be extremely friendly to Muslims.

00:09:15.600 But the same concerns exist.

00:09:17.680 This would be a 402-acre community that includes over 1,000 homes, a K-12 Islamic school, a mosque,

00:09:25.500 senior and assisted living, apartments, clinics, shops, a community college, and sports fields.

00:09:31.120 And we will play you.

00:09:32.740 We will show you.

00:09:33.560 You should be able to see on screen what the layout is actually supposed to look like there.

00:09:39.540 You can see it.

00:09:40.600 So that's obviously computer generated.

00:09:42.900 You've got the big mosque in the middle there.

00:09:45.940 You've got all of these homes.

00:09:49.860 And I mean, it looks very state-of-the-art.

00:09:52.080 It looks very beautiful.

00:09:53.000 But it is centered on wanting to create a neighborhood, wanting to create a large community

00:09:59.580 just for Muslims.

00:10:00.960 Legally, they wouldn't be able to tell someone who is Jewish or who is Christian, hey, get 1.00

00:10:05.820 out of here.

00:10:06.480 You can't move here.

00:10:08.060 But that is essentially what it is for.

00:10:11.660 A Community Capital Partners is the name of the company behind the project.

00:10:15.420 It's formed by members of EPIC.

00:10:18.140 Collin County Judge Chris Hill informed residents via Facebook post on November 8th that Community

00:10:25.280 Capital Partners is preparing to submit their plans to the county for review.

00:10:31.320 Now, no PLAT, that's a detailed map of what the neighborhood would be, has actually been

00:10:35.880 filed with Collin County yet.

00:10:37.580 But reports suggest CCP, not to be confused with the Chinese Communist Party, again, that's

00:10:42.840 Community Capital Partners, who's planning to build this neighborhood, has either filed

00:10:46.640 plans or plans to file soon with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to establish

00:10:52.520 a municipal utility district that handles water sewer drainage for the meadow.

00:10:57.400 OK, so it does seem like the plans are moving forward, but we don't know exactly when or what

00:11:04.380 it's going to look like.

00:11:06.480 And look, you could say one argument is that, look, people are allowed to do what they want

00:11:11.060 to do.

00:11:11.560 If Jewish people wanted to do this, if Christians wanted to do this, they could, which I'm sure 1.00

00:11:15.960 is not actually true.

00:11:17.300 I think it would be much more controversial in the mainstream if Christians said, hey, 0.89

00:11:21.740 we are going to establish this community and we're going to name it after a church.

00:11:28.400 And this is where Christians are going to live. 0.99

00:11:31.460 It's going to be centered around this particular church.

00:11:34.480 There's going to be a Christian school, Christian bank, all that.

00:11:37.420 I think that sounds amazing, by the way.

00:11:39.640 Um, but there would be a lot of controversy if any other religion besides Islam or besides

00:11:46.740 one of those Eastern religions, um, uh, was doing this.

00:11:51.520 And the reason why people are upset about it, um, at least people on the right, Christian 0.54

00:11:57.560 conservatives is simply because of the cultural change that it causes simply because when you

00:12:04.680 have a high concentration of Islamists in one area, there is a concern about how that changes

00:12:11.720 the culture and the safety of your city.

00:12:14.700 We don't believe in moral relativism.

00:12:16.780 We don't believe that all faiths and all worldviews are the same.

00:12:19.820 It is extremely fair for people who have lived in a predominantly Christian country, um, that

00:12:27.280 was founded by Christians.

00:12:28.800 That was first when it was founded primarily for Christians to say, how is this going to

00:12:36.960 change my country?

00:12:38.420 How is this going to change my community?

00:12:41.300 When you have a people who believe entirely in Sharia, who have an entirely different view

00:12:48.080 of women and human worth and rights and right and wrong, it is totally fair to ask, is that

00:12:55.300 congruent with the constitution is that congruent with the American community that we have created?

00:13:03.940 The problem, Charlie Kirk talked about this a lot is not individual Muslims.

00:13:08.660 It's Islam as an ideology, Islam as a collective belief system.

00:13:14.060 And when you look throughout the world at the fruit of Islamic collectivism, the result has 1.00

00:13:20.040 been chaos and violence and the degradation of the human person and human dignity.

00:13:25.300 That is just true.

00:13:26.660 When you look at migrant crime trends throughout the world, especially in Europe, you see that 0.74

00:13:33.380 migrants from Muslim majority countries are disproportionately responsible for crimes, including and especially 1.00

00:13:41.260 sexually violent crimes. 0.98

00:13:43.440 So I don't want to hear anything, well, this is just like a Christian community, or this is 1.00

00:13:48.400 just like a Jewish community, or this is just like any other community.

00:13:51.620 It's not, because not all belief systems are the same.

00:13:55.620 Not all worldviews have the same fruit.

00:13:59.260 So totally justified for people to be concerned about this.

00:14:02.800 And we'll talk about some of the legality behind like, okay, what can you actually do when

00:14:07.980 it comes to something like this?

00:14:10.040 But I just want to say, if you're concerned and you don't know how to put words to why you're

00:14:14.460 concerned, you are justified.

00:14:17.460 It is justified. 0.83

00:14:18.720 When you know that about 99% of all worldwide designated terrorist groups are Islamic, you 0.56

00:14:28.520 have good reason to say, huh, do we want a high concentration of people who buy into that

00:14:33.760 ideology to have their own basically independent system here in the United States or in the

00:14:40.960 state of Texas?

00:14:42.120 Completely justified.

00:14:42.920 By the way, this is not just a trend that's happening in Texas, in the red state of Texas,

00:14:47.220 it's happening elsewhere too.

00:14:48.780 And we'll talk about that in just a second.

00:14:50.460 Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor for the day.

00:14:53.820 And that is Seven Weeks Coffee.

00:16:08.280 Okay, let me just tell you that I am going to have to put the rest of our ads kind of

00:16:15.480 closer together because I waited 15 minutes to do the first one, which is a little too

00:16:19.380 long.

00:16:19.860 So just FYI, just a heads up on that.

00:16:22.640 Okay, let's talk a little bit more about the Islamification specifically of Texas.

00:16:27.780 Texas actually has one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States, estimated

00:16:33.560 about 420,000.

00:16:36.700 I would guess that it's probably more than that.

00:16:39.240 Texas had 224 mosques in 2020, and over the past five years, that's just grown, but that

00:16:45.140 is up quite a lot from 166 in 2010.

00:16:49.060 As of October 15th, 2025, so here's that exact number, there were 330 mosques listed in Texas.

00:16:56.680 So continued growth there, of course, that's still smaller than the number of churches,

00:17:05.440 of course, a lot smaller.

00:17:06.660 But anytime you see this kind of significant growth, it's worth looking at.

00:17:11.660 At a Josephine City Council meeting, remember, this is where that epic city was going to be,

00:17:16.780 an Armenian-American resident of Collin County took the microphone to share a chilling personal 1.00

00:17:21.920 warning drawn from his family's persecution at the hands of the Ottomans who practiced Sharia.

00:17:28.300 He warned the Muslims will be civil until they become the majority.

00:17:32.460 That should sound familiar to you if you watched my episode with Raymond Ibrahim.

00:17:38.340 Here's top three.

00:17:39.800 Once they get to a certain point in a culture, they start to ravage it from within.

00:17:45.720 Understanding what their whole intent is, it's not the typical Muslim that you come across. 1.00

00:17:50.760 They're all good people.

00:17:51.900 They love one another.

00:17:53.120 They love you.

00:17:53.920 They'll tell you they love you.

00:17:55.120 But when they get to a certain point where they have to do a certain thing, they're going

00:18:00.380 to be forced into it, whether they like it or not.

00:18:03.860 And the problem that we see in society is they don't speak up against it.

00:18:09.100 That is true.

00:18:10.020 Of course, you can see that in Muslim-majority countries, and you can see that in places in

00:18:14.480 Europe, which have become Muslim-majority.

00:18:16.320 And again, go listen to my episode or watch my episode with Raymond Ibrahim.

00:18:21.280 He is a scholar and historian who has wrote several books on the history of Islam and what

00:18:27.800 the Quran actually says.

00:18:29.880 And this is the difference between Medina and Mecca.

00:18:32.580 When Muslims are in the minority, they will take on many of the values and the kind of disposition 1.00

00:18:37.700 of the majority culture at the time until they become the majority.

00:18:42.860 And again, this isn't necessarily about individual people.

00:18:46.000 This is about the political ideology.

00:18:48.420 Remember, Islam means submission. 1.00

00:18:50.500 And that is what they are setting out to do.

00:18:52.400 If we ask ourselves, well, if they like Sharia, which is Islamic law, which is totally incongruent 1.00

00:18:59.100 with American law, and if they want this kind of culture, if they want an entire city and

00:19:03.900 community where there is a majority of Muslims and everything is basically run by Sharia,

00:19:08.700 then why here?

00:19:10.240 Why not just stay there?

00:19:11.780 Well, because it is about conquest.

00:19:14.520 It is about submission.

00:19:16.900 It is not about, you know, it's not necessarily about evangelism like Christianity is.

00:19:23.500 And it's not even about having their own enclaves for their own enjoyment and protection.

00:19:28.540 It is about infiltration.

00:19:30.700 It is about domination.

00:19:32.760 And this is true at the roots of Islam. 0.94

00:19:35.960 That's not just a particular iteration of Islam.

00:19:38.260 It is true fundamentally.

00:19:39.700 So what actually is Sharia?

00:19:42.940 It is Islamic law.

00:19:44.560 And Sharia just means law. 0.94

00:19:46.180 So Sharia law is kind of like saying law, law, but I think it's fine to say Sharia law 1.00

00:19:50.540 because it helps us understand what it is.

00:19:52.440 It's a legal and ethical framework that is derived from Islamic teachings, primarily the

00:19:57.020 Quran, very harsh punishments, hand amputation for theft, stoning for adultery, death or leaving 1.00

00:20:04.140 Islam, amputation or crucifixion for robbery, insulting Islam leads to death.

00:20:10.980 This is, of course, why you've seen in places like England and France, people who have insulted 0.92

00:20:17.300 their prophet Muhammad have been murdered by Muslims who feel like it is their religious 1.00

00:20:22.100 duty to do so.

00:20:23.860 The gender rules and roles, women need to be fully covered. 1.00

00:20:27.220 Of course, in some countries, this is stricter.

00:20:30.600 Women can't even show their eyes. 1.00

00:20:32.700 They're completely covered head to toe starting from a very young age.

00:20:37.460 Um, and then in other countries, it's just that the hair and the head and most of the

00:20:43.040 body needs, needs to be covered.

00:20:45.480 Uh, women need a male guardian, um, in their permission to travel or to drive in many Muslim 1.00

00:20:51.280 majority countries, education for young girls stops at sixth grade, even if it's, or if it's

00:20:57.560 allowed at all, uh, women's court testimony counts as half of a man's, um, men can have up

00:21:03.240 to four wives in their marriage rules in Sharia.

00:21:06.680 Women cannot have multiple husbands, child marriage in Muslim majority countries is, um, 1.00

00:21:13.460 not morally questionable at all.

00:21:15.360 It is completely permitted.

00:21:16.500 And that is, of course, because the prophet Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years 0.82

00:21:22.480 old and supposedly they did not consummate the marriage until she was nine.

00:21:27.380 And so, and of course they revere the prophet Muhammad is basically perfect. 0.99

00:21:32.140 And so they wouldn't be able to denounce pedophilia or denounce child marriage without denouncing

00:21:38.640 their own prophet, which of course is punishable by death.

00:21:41.880 And so that alone should give people pause when they say, oh, you know, um, we're just a

00:21:48.360 mosaic in America.

00:21:49.460 The more the merrier, the more diverse we are, the more we can learn.

00:21:54.060 Well, again, not every worldview is the same.

00:21:57.740 Not every religion teaches the same thing.

00:22:00.100 And it is actually because of our Christian ethical framework here in America that we have

00:22:05.340 a natural and righteous revulsion to something like child marriage or pedophilia.

00:22:10.500 Because fundamental in the Christian belief is that marriage is for procreation.

00:22:16.540 What do we read in the very first chapters of Genesis?

00:22:19.620 That God made man and woman, not boy and girl, not man and girl, but man and woman, and told

00:22:26.700 them immediately to be fruitful and multiply.

00:22:29.660 So while we don't have the exact ages of Adam and Eve, we see from the very beginning that

00:22:35.260 God created marriage, not only to reflect the marriage between Christ and his bride, the

00:22:40.520 church, but also to procreate.

00:22:43.220 And that is only possible between a man and a woman, again, not a man and a child.

00:22:49.740 So fundamental in Christianity is the idea that sexual relations are exclusive to marriage

00:22:56.160 between one man and one woman.

00:22:57.920 This is not true of many other religions.

00:23:00.420 It's certainly not true of Islam. 0.99

00:23:03.360 Um, here is Yasir Qadhi, the imam behind Epic City, explaining some crimes and their respective

00:23:10.860 punishments under Sharia, top five. 0.94

00:23:13.320 This is a part of our religion to stone the adulterer and to chop the head off of the, uh, 1.00

00:23:20.140 so many sorcerer and so many other, you know, things and to kill, by the way, the homosexual. 1.00

00:23:24.500 This is also our religion. 1.00

00:23:26.020 The fiqh rule in Qasmini, the homosexual, that he be killed. 1.00

00:23:28.540 Okay. 1.00

00:23:29.400 Huh?

00:23:31.100 I don't know about this one, but, uh, I have heard this, but I haven't studied this in

00:23:34.860 detail, but I know that his punishment is death.

00:23:37.040 Okay.

00:23:37.560 This is all a part of our religion.

00:23:39.020 This doesn't mean we go do this in America.

00:23:40.360 No, we're not allowed to do this in America, you know, but I'm saying if we had an Islamic 1.00

00:23:43.280 state, we would do this.

00:23:45.960 That's interesting that he just says that.

00:23:47.720 Now, I will say some of those things were also punishable by death in the Old Testament.

00:23:52.160 However, we are not abiding by, in America today, nor are we responsible to abide by

00:23:59.440 Israeli law.

00:24:01.680 Um, ancient Israel, God's chosen people, abided by the laws that were passed down to them

00:24:07.540 by God through Moses.

00:24:09.400 And while the moral laws Christians are still bound to keep today, because Jesus not only 0.98

00:24:14.980 fulfills them, but double down, uh, doubles down on those moral laws, the cleansing laws,

00:24:20.760 the legal laws, the procedural laws, we are not bound to today, nor are Christians called

00:24:26.620 to create that kind of theocracy by imposing Israeli law on America today or on any country 0.96

00:24:33.080 today.

00:24:33.600 We believe in making disciples.

00:24:35.380 We believe in infusing light and goodness and truth in God's ways into every sphere

00:24:40.960 of society, peacefully and persuasively.

00:24:44.180 That is very different than what you just heard there from that imam. 0.99

00:24:49.500 The truth is, is that Sharia courts are already, um, operating in Texas.

00:24:55.920 America's first Islamic tribunal was founded in Irving, Texas in 2015, according to CBS.

00:25:01.760 According to its official website, this institution will serve an important niche in our society

00:25:07.340 because we as Muslims in the United States need to unite on our common belief and creed.

00:25:12.400 I mean, you have to give it to them that they're just, they're asking forgiveness, not permission.

00:25:16.560 They're just proceeding with creating their Islamic state and community and laws and procedures

00:25:22.160 here in the United States.

00:25:23.420 And they are basically bidding people to stop them.

00:25:26.580 And they are very cohesive as a people in a way that Christians simply aren't. 1.00

00:25:31.560 Now, I'm not even saying that positively because, of course, their punishment for blasphemy

00:25:37.000 or for disagreeing with each other is very harsh in a way that it's not for Christianity.

00:25:43.100 But, I mean, you got to hand it to their persistence and just the audacity to do something like this.

00:25:49.140 And I think they understand that the fear of coming across as Islamophobic is so great and

00:25:55.320 the toxic empathy is so high toward a purported victim that most people aren't going to say

00:26:00.420 anything.

00:26:01.140 Also, people are scared for their lives.

00:26:03.060 So, that helps them too.

00:26:04.900 All right.

00:26:05.180 We've got more on this in just a second.

00:26:06.660 Let me pause, tell you about our next sponsor.

00:26:08.540 It's Adele Natural Cosmetics.

00:26:10.540 This is another Christian-founded, family-owned company.

00:26:13.840 They are creating high-end, hand-crafted cosmetic and skincare products.

00:26:19.600 I use them every day.

00:26:21.520 Love it so much.

00:26:22.440 I just love knowing that what I am putting on my skin is actually good for my skin.

00:26:27.260 That I don't have to worry about it being toxic or an endocrine disruptor.

00:26:31.260 The kind of toxic ingredients that you find in most products today.

00:26:35.980 So, when I'm not in studio, I'm wearing my Adele Natural Cosmetics makeup.

00:26:39.860 I am using their oil-based essential cleanser every night.

00:26:42.520 I also love that they have Christmas-themed products.

00:26:46.300 They're really, really cute.

00:26:47.420 The wrapping is so cute.

00:26:48.780 And they've got a Bible verse on every single one of their packages because they are the

00:26:52.700 real deal.

00:26:53.700 They're unapologetically Christian, unapologetically pro-life. 0.99

00:26:57.100 Arlene and her family are just genuine and awesome people.

00:27:18.900 A 2011 report by the Center for Security Policy claimed that 146 U.S. court cases reference

00:27:25.320 Sharia, with 20% fully deferring to it over American law, often harming Muslim women and

00:27:32.560 children seeking U.S. protections.

00:27:33.980 I don't even know how that's possible and we don't have time to dive into the details

00:27:39.320 of that particular report.

00:27:40.660 I mean, that was 15 years ago almost.

00:27:43.180 And so I can imagine that it's only gotten worse since then.

00:27:46.600 Now, Greg Abbott, he knows that this is an issue that a lot of people are concerned about.

00:27:51.960 And he signed a law a few weeks ago.

00:27:54.620 I actually don't have the date on this.

00:27:57.000 He signed a law a few weeks ago on the outlaws compounds like Epic City, so Muslim compounds. 1.00

00:28:03.960 It prevents no-go zones.

00:28:06.100 So, you know, a Muslim community can't say, hey, you can't come in here if you're a Christian

00:28:11.140 or a Jewish person.

00:28:12.440 It prevents selling land to only Muslims, requires disputes to be brought under Texas laws

00:28:17.820 and Texas courts, not Sharia.

00:28:19.460 I mean, it's just sad that this is necessary.

00:28:21.340 Kudos to the Texas legislature and to Greg Abbott for taking this seriously.

00:28:27.040 He said this, one of the issues at stake is the freedom of religion.

00:28:30.140 Another issue at stake is what's called the right to contract.

00:28:32.780 The fact is religious freedom is a central part of the Texas Constitution.

00:28:35.640 Bad actors like Epic City tried to use religion as a form of segregation.

00:28:40.920 HB 4211 targets the unusual setup the Meadow planned where buyers wouldn't own the land or

00:28:46.820 home directly, but would buy a share in a company that owns everything and grants them

00:28:51.200 the right to live there.

00:28:53.580 Not everyone is content with this move, though.

00:28:57.360 There are people in Texas who think that more needs to happen.

00:29:00.560 Here's thought six.

00:29:02.340 Governor Abbott signed HB 4711 a couple months ago, which only prevents the forcing of somebody

00:29:07.840 to sell their property back to the mosque.

00:29:09.660 It doesn't stop them from doing it voluntarily.

00:29:13.040 And as we know, in Islamic culture, it's okay to lie if it advances their cause. 1.00

00:29:18.160 This bill did not address that Sharia law and our Constitution are not compatible, and it 1.00

00:29:23.240 did not ban Sharia law, despite suggestions otherwise.

00:29:28.140 Yeah, so people want more than this.

00:29:31.840 They want even more action by the state of Texas.

00:29:35.240 But, you know, I agree.

00:29:37.660 Like, I concur.

00:29:38.540 I share that same sentiment.

00:29:40.340 But we need people to come to the table with real solutions.

00:29:45.080 And obviously, we are under the Texas Constitution for good reason.

00:29:49.460 There is a freedom of religion.

00:29:50.720 So what actually can be done?

00:29:53.040 And I think it's up to the people down in Austin to make sure that they are coming up

00:29:56.920 with good solutions.

00:29:58.960 So what else is being done?

00:30:00.740 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton believes the individuals behind the meadow have broken

00:30:05.940 the law.

00:30:06.520 He has promised to prosecute any violations.

00:30:09.780 For example, he said, after a thorough investigation, it has become clear that the developers behind

00:30:14.480 Epic City flagrantly and undeniably violated the law.

00:30:18.440 This is an illegal scheme.

00:30:19.700 It must be held accountable for ignoring state and federal regulations.

00:30:23.360 He says, in order to sue and hold the parties behind Epic City accountable, the Office of the

00:30:27.320 Attorney General must receive a referral from the Texas State Securities Board.

00:30:31.360 They've invited the Commissioner Chairman E.

00:30:37.740 Wally Kinney to examine the initial findings and corresponding evidence that demonstrates

00:30:43.540 the Epic City Development Project violated the law and subsequently refer the matter back

00:30:47.160 to the Attorney General's office for further legal action if the TSSB agrees with the office's

00:30:53.460 findings.

00:30:54.460 State Rep.

00:30:55.460 Brent Money is a Republican from Greenville, Texas.

00:30:58.640 He said, stopping the Islamization of Texas is a top priority, but, and this is the general 1.00

00:31:04.000 sentiment for a lot of people, I don't know what to do about that.

00:31:08.180 He said, you need to look and see what the Muslim radicals in Texas are saying that their

00:31:11.680 plan is, and you need to start believing them.

00:31:13.660 He added, it is not compatible with the Christian nation, which we are.

00:31:17.420 So what is the biblical perspective on this?

00:31:19.540 It seems like we're kind of in limbo figuring out, like, what is the political solution for

00:31:24.320 this?

00:31:24.580 Because, again, for all of the reasons that we listed, constitutional reasons, cultural

00:31:29.000 reasons, moral reasons, like, people have a good justification for feeling uneasy about

00:31:36.440 this.

00:31:36.820 And by the way, like, you are just allowed to care about the culture and the feeling of

00:31:43.440 the neighborhood that you live in, okay?

00:31:45.480 You're allowed to notice that the demographics have changed.

00:31:48.820 You're allowed to notice how that impacts your kids, how that impacts, um, uh, how that impacts

00:31:55.740 your safety, how that impacts your community.

00:31:57.820 You're allowed to notice that you're allowed to care about that.

00:32:00.860 You're allowed to want most of your neighbors to celebrate Christmas.

00:32:05.260 Like, you're allowed to want those kind of shared values with your neighborhood because

00:32:10.300 the more different you are, the more difficult it is to have the commonalities that are needed

00:32:16.660 for a social contract.

00:32:18.280 We have to actually trust our neighbors and share some kind of basic understanding of

00:32:24.220 morality and decency with our neighbors in order for us to live in a cohesive society.

00:32:30.560 And there's this book by Robert Putnam called Bowling Alone, where he talks about the, actually

00:32:35.320 the increased diversity in all of our neighborhoods has contributed to a lack of trust that has contributed

00:32:41.820 to isolation and loneliness and kids playing outside less.

00:32:45.960 And I'm not even laying that at the feet of any one type of people.

00:32:49.800 It's just true.

00:32:51.480 This is just human nature.

00:32:52.960 And you can call that bigotry if you want to, but this has been true for all of human

00:32:57.440 history.

00:32:58.080 And actually the Muslims realize that that's why they are creating neighborhoods that are 0.99

00:33:02.200 based on their ideology so that they can be surrounded by people who look like them and

00:33:07.180 think like them and talk like them.

00:33:08.560 But when people who are not Muslims say, well, I kind of want that myself, well, then that's

00:33:15.220 supposedly some kind of supremacy or racism or bigotry.

00:33:20.060 You're allowed to want Christian culture to be preserved in a nation who can attribute all

00:33:26.160 of the good things that we have to Christian ideology and to the Christian worldview.

00:33:31.380 So what is the biblical perspective on Islam?

00:33:34.660 Let's just talk about Islam a little bit theologically.

00:33:36.940 Islam explicitly denies the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the sonship of Christ, and salvation

00:33:42.920 by the cross.

00:33:43.860 You hear people say, oh, well, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, we all worship the same God.

00:33:48.480 And I even hear people say, well, Islam at least honors Jesus as a prophet. 0.85

00:33:53.880 I've even heard people say that Muslims love Jesus.

00:33:56.440 No, they don't believe in the Jesus that we believe in.

00:33:59.060 They deny his deity.

00:34:00.700 And of course, Jewish people don't believe that Jesus is God either.

00:34:04.500 So I think it's wrong.

00:34:05.520 Yes, we are all in Abrahamic religions, you could say, but we don't worship the same God

00:34:10.440 because Christians and Christians alone believe in the triune God.

00:34:13.660 We believe that Jesus is God, that the Holy Spirit is God.

00:34:18.060 1 John 2, 22 through 23.

00:34:20.120 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?

00:34:23.440 This is the Antichrist.

00:34:24.820 He who denies the Father and the Son.

00:34:26.660 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either.

00:34:29.420 He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

00:34:31.680 So John 5, 23, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.

00:34:37.060 Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

00:34:41.540 And I also just want to say, and this is very different, but this is why Christianity is distinct.

00:34:48.100 This is the definition of Christianity.

00:34:49.660 If there is anyone who denies that Jesus is God, that person is not a Christian.

00:34:54.380 Okay, it's not enough to say Jesus was a prophet or Jesus was a teacher or Jesus was a rabbi or Jesus was a son of God or a child of God.

00:35:01.940 Jesus is God according to Christianity.

00:35:05.120 Islam teaches Jesus was not crucified.

00:35:08.160 This is in the Quran.

00:35:09.040 This directly contradicts the central message of salvation in Christianity.

00:35:12.720 1 Corinthians 15, 3 through 4.

00:35:14.300 Western civilization was built on biblical ethics, honest courts, due process, covenant marriage between one man and one woman, monotheism, equal dignity, the rule of law, religious systems denying the true God, fundamentally opposed this salvation.

00:35:43.180 2 Corinthians 6, 14 through 16, do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.

00:35:47.320 For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?

00:35:50.200 Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

00:35:52.540 What accord has Christ with Belial? 1.00

00:35:55.080 Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?

00:35:57.440 What agreement has the temple of God with idols?

00:35:59.880 For we are the temple of the living God.

00:36:04.400 Whenever God's people, this is the fourth point, whenever God's people embraced or tolerated false religions, destruction followed, chaos followed. 0.97

00:36:11.860 Psalm 9, 17, the wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. 0.70

00:36:18.280 Now, we do have a First Amendment in this country that allows freedom of religious expression.

00:36:25.240 And it should.

00:36:26.400 But we should be concerned about the insidious nature of an ideology that is based upon the submission of every individual, every infidel, and every culture, and every country but its own. 0.94

00:36:43.080 Because that doesn't allow us to have the freedom of religion that is guaranteed to us in the First Amendment.

00:36:50.360 Number five, Islam claims that Muhammad is the final prophet, but Christianity cannot accept another prophet after Christ.

00:36:58.500 Not a prophet like that.

00:37:00.500 The Bible warns against false prophets.

00:37:03.780 Hebrews 1, 1-2,

00:37:05.060 Western civilization's moral structure, law, justice, dignity, came from Scripture.

00:37:29.200 Islamic law, Sharia, derives from a different God, a different moral code, and a different foundation.

00:37:35.460 A society built on another God's law is not compatible with biblical justice.

00:37:40.840 Isaiah 33, 22,

00:37:42.560 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king, he will save us.

00:37:48.040 Romans 13, 4,

00:37:49.140 So, when a servant of God in the government is not following God, and therefore he does not define right and wrong the way that God defines right and wrong, you get a lot of trouble.

00:38:10.780 You get a lot of chaos.

00:38:11.800 You get a lot of moral subversion.

00:38:13.140 We've seen that over and over again in the United States and elsewhere.

00:38:16.180 The Jewish people and the Christian people share one half of Scripture, and so there's a lot of commonality there, a lot of shared foundation there.

00:38:26.800 That's why it tends to work.

00:38:29.340 But when you have someone that denies that, that denies the fundamentals of that biblical worldview, that is going to be incompatible, especially when it's taken to a large scale.

00:38:42.940 Biblical peace is grounded in reconciliation with God through Christ.

00:38:47.220 Islam explicitly rejects this reconciliation and historically spreads by coercion.

00:38:53.040 Matthew 7, 15,

00:38:54.400 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

00:39:00.480 I would also read Psalm 37, and just a reminder of God's promise to us and Christ as his people versus those who are enemies of God.

00:39:10.300 But it's also, I'm just going to, I've just got one more short thing to say about Islam, and then we're going to move on to our next subjects.

00:39:19.660 Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor for the day, and that is Good Ranchers.

00:39:24.680 This is another American company.

00:39:26.440 They love God.

00:39:27.120 They love America.

00:39:27.920 This is a family-owned company, and you want to support them because they are supporting such an important industry that has been so unfairly treated in the United States,

00:39:36.460 and that is the farming and ranching industry.

00:39:39.540 Every bit of Good Ranchers, whether it's seafood, bacon, steak, all cuts of beef, their chicken, all of it comes from an American farm or ranch.

00:39:51.440 It is so high quality.

00:39:52.680 It's really good.

00:39:53.380 It's what we rely on in the Stucky Home and have for years,

00:39:56.400 and especially when we are celebrating this very American holiday of Thanksgiving,

00:40:01.620 your table should be filled with American products.

00:40:04.680 Get them from Good Ranchers.

00:40:06.240 It'll show up on your front door on dry ice.

00:40:24.500 And the third order, you save $30, totaling in $100 of savings.

00:40:28.360 Go to GoodRanchers.com.

00:40:29.820 Use code Allie for that discount. 0.98

00:40:32.220 That's GoodRanchers.com, code Allie.

00:40:34.680 So this is just a warning.

00:40:40.560 I did not remember this at all, but this is what tends to happen when Islam starts to dominate 1.00

00:40:47.900 and they get the political power and the power in numbers.

00:40:52.140 November 13th, so just the other day, marked the 10th year anniversary of the Bataclan,

00:40:57.960 I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing that, massacre in which Islamic State jihadist gunmen and suicide bombers

00:41:03.160 killed 132 people and injured more than 600 people at six locations in Paris, France,

00:41:10.240 including the Bataclan Theater in the country's deadliest peacetime attack.

00:41:15.260 Do you remember this?

00:41:18.560 Like, does this ring a bell?

00:41:20.020 It doesn't ring a bell to me.

00:41:21.780 And it's only 10 years ago.

00:41:23.720 So I would have been paying attention to what was going on in the world 10 years ago.

00:41:28.360 And I mean, maybe I did know about it and I just and I just forgot.

00:41:33.220 But George Fanac, the lawmaker leading a parliamentary investigation into the attacks back in 2016,

00:41:42.180 expressed frustration to the commission that information about the victim mutilations was

00:41:46.120 withheld from both families and the media.

00:41:48.960 This is very gruesome.

00:41:50.380 Testimony said that some of the eyes of certain people in these attacks have been removed.

00:41:54.480 Victims endured eyes gouged out, rape, genital mutilation beyond the initial gunfire.

00:42:00.120 A police witness explained that bodies had not been shown to the families because they

00:42:04.300 were decapitated, swollen, and disemboweled.

00:42:07.820 Amy Mack of the Rare Foundation is among the voices that argue that the level of violence

00:42:12.580 was not suppressed to protect the privacy of the victims, but to protect the country from

00:42:21.560 some kind of revolt against the French government or against the policies that have allowed these

00:42:29.740 migrants from Muslim-majority countries to come here and to create this kind of violence. 1.00

00:42:34.100 I mean, hundreds of French people were disemboweled and raped and tortured and murdered in attacks 0.99

00:42:42.420 in Paris by all Muslim men, and you might not even know about it. 0.69

00:42:47.880 Just 10 years ago, the attackers were young men primarily of North African origin, recruited

00:42:54.280 in Belgium and France, trained in Islamic State territory in the Middle East, and then returned

00:42:59.080 to Europe, concealed among large migrant flows.

00:43:02.240 So again, open borders is evil.

00:43:04.740 Remember this when you hear all of the stories about people being deported and ice raids, and

00:43:11.020 they're trying to evoke that empathy that makes you only focus on those purported victims and

00:43:16.980 forget about the victims in places like France and elsewhere, even here in the United States.

00:43:22.320 You're only focusing on the people that the media wants you to think is the victim, and you forget

00:43:26.440 about the people on the other side of the moral equation. That is when your empathy has become

00:43:30.120 toxic, and it gets you to support policies that are destructive, that are really bad for everyone,

00:43:35.440 that are really bad for innocent people. So through toxic empathy, all of these European 1.00

00:43:40.100 countries opened up their borders, and they allowed the infiltration of people like this who killed 0.95

00:43:44.960 and raped and tortured innocent women, men, and children. Middle East expert Gilles Capel explains

00:43:54.760 that intelligence services have become highly effective at monitoring online radicalization,

00:44:00.120 but obviously this wasn't enough to stop this. The danger is particularly concerning because it

00:44:05.500 involves younger individuals and is easily influenced by global events such as the conflict in Gaza and

00:44:11.340 Israel. And then agitators exploit this to fuel anger and radicalization. In 2025, French authorities

00:44:17.900 thwarted six planned Islamic extremist attacks involving suspects between the ages of 17 and 22. Huh, I think like

00:44:25.100 at some point, like maybe we made, maybe we made a bad choice. And, you know, as Raymond Ibrahim

00:44:32.720 explained, when people talk about, you know, the wars between Christians and Muslims, and they paint

00:44:40.060 Christians as these agitators and these aggressors who victimized all of these innocent Muslims, that's 1.00

00:44:47.040 not really what was going on. It was through agape love for their own innocent people, for their wives,

00:44:53.280 for their children, that these Christian men laid down their lives to try to push back against 0.96

00:44:58.820 the darkness of Islam. It was for their, not only their own sake, but the sake of innocent victims that 1.00

00:45:07.220 they tried to push back against the scimitar with the sword. I mean, one of the first wars in the United

00:45:13.080 States was against Islamists, the first Barbary war. And this is a way to love your neighbor. It is a way to

00:45:22.640 love your neighbor to push back against, through a peaceful and legal means, the Islamification of 1.00

00:45:30.080 the United States. We can look at a place like France. We can look at an event like that to see

00:45:36.880 why this is so incredibly necessary. Nehemiah 2, 17 through 18. Then I said to them, you see the

00:45:46.040 trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of 0.73

00:45:51.560 Jerusalem that we may no longer suffer derision. And they said, let us rise up and build. So they

00:45:56.780 strengthened their hands for the good work. The book of Nehemiah speaks to the importance of a

00:46:04.560 barrier around a city or a barrier around a country. I'm not saying that the book of Nehemiah tells us

00:46:10.580 that we have to do this, that we have to have walls, but God does not condemn strong borders. In fact,

00:46:16.560 we see throughout scripture that strong borders are a symbol of control and protection and provision

00:46:23.820 and wisdom. In fact, we read in Proverbs 25, 28, that a man without self-control is like a city broken

00:46:30.580 into and left without walls. And so the comparison there is that a man without self-control, he's going

00:46:37.360 to bring himself and other people to ruin, just like a city that doesn't have any walls, that doesn't have

00:46:43.060 any protections. It is the height of foolishness and irresponsibility, a total abdication of the

00:46:49.960 responsibility to protect your neighbors and to protect your own citizens, to allow the basically 0.57

00:46:56.400 unhindered migration of military-aged men from these war-torn countries, from these Muslim-majority

00:47:04.720 countries. It is the opposite of loving your neighbor. It is hatred of your neighbor. It is a way to

00:47:10.360 selfishly virtue signal to make yourself seem compassionate when really you're just outsourcing

00:47:15.520 your compassion to the government and hoping that the bad products of those policies and the bad

00:47:21.860 outcomes of those policies don't affect you. It is so incredibly selfish, and it might be well-intentioned,

00:47:29.000 but you know what they say about the road to hell. It's paved with those. So I think one of the best 1.00

00:47:35.000 things we can do is not only restrict illegal immigration, but legal immigration. We should 1.00

00:47:41.760 restrict the immigration from certain countries. I wouldn't be mad about an entire moratorium on 0.81

00:47:47.380 immigration for the time being until we get our act together and until we figure out how to root out 1.00

00:47:53.360 these terror cells. That's most important. And also to make sure that the collective power

00:48:00.040 in Sharia is not subverting our rights and our safety as American citizens. And we got to get

00:48:07.880 serious about that. That is something that people loved about Donald Trump when he first ran. Legal

00:48:13.620 immigration is a really big problem, both in Europe and in the United States. And it's hard for people

00:48:20.260 who are moral relativists to see that. But again, what have we said about three or four times? Not every

00:48:26.280 worldview is the same. Some create chaos. Some create good fruit. And we have to be very discerning

00:48:34.300 about which one is which. And we got to love our neighbors and our families enough to be very,

00:48:39.980 very clear and bold on that. Remember, you have walls. You have a fence. You have a lock on your

00:48:45.580 door. It's not because you hate the people around you. It's not because you hate your neighbors. It's

00:48:49.640 because you love the people inside. Nations are like families. It is our government's responsibility to

00:48:54.640 lock our doors to protect us, to keep us safe. All right. We're going to switch gears in just a

00:48:59.700 second, talk about something a little bit happier and more optimistic and exciting for Christians

00:49:05.280 because, gosh, the dichotomy between light and darkness is so stark. But let me tell you about our

00:49:09.720 next sponsor, and that is Preborn. Y'all, I love Preborn. I'm so grateful for what they do. I'm so grateful

00:49:17.780 for how they serve moms and babies and they're saving lives. They are supplying these pregnancy 0.98

00:49:24.060 centers with the supplies they need to help women make the life-affirming choice. For example,

00:49:29.380 sonogram equipment. We know when a woman sees and hears that baby inside the womb,

00:49:33.260 she sees that this is a real human being, not just a clump of cells, like Planned Parenthood tells her

00:49:37.720 that she is so much more likely to choose life. And then these pregnancy centers are supplying 1.00

00:49:42.520 these moms with what they need to parent, with what they need to maybe seek out adoptive parents. 0.99

00:49:51.260 And so partner with Preborn, especially this holiday season. There's a lot of women who are 1.00

00:49:55.360 in distress and they need someone to rally around them and help them and help them know they're not

00:49:59.800 alone. And your contribution, your donation helps make that happen. So go to preborn.com slash Allie,

00:50:05.800 make whatever donation you can today. $28 covers the cost of an ultrasound,

00:50:09.520 but whatever you can donate will help. Go to preborn.com slash Allie.

00:50:19.360 Okay. So in the midst of all of that kind of scariness, what did we say at the beginning?

00:50:23.540 God's eternal plan of redemption is going off without a hitch. And I loved this Wall Street

00:50:27.160 Journal headline. Christian music is everywhere, whether you realize it or not. And this article,

00:50:33.060 this is actually from November 8th, highlighted the growing popularity of Christian music this year.

00:50:37.060 Thanks to artists like Forrest Frank and Brandon Lake, who have marketed their God-honoring music

00:50:42.180 on social media. And we've talked about Forrest Frank quite a few times over the last few months.

00:50:47.220 And I just want to say that Charlie Kirk and I were ahead on talking about this because we did a

00:50:52.840 segment on Fox and Friends when Charlie was co-hosting Fox and Friends a few months ago. I believe it was

00:50:58.440 in August where we talked about this rise in Christian music. And I talked about

00:51:02.740 Forrest Frank and how he is doing such a good job of creating like pop music that is really catchy,

00:51:09.140 that a lot of people want to listen to, that regularly goes viral, but that is totally glorifying

00:51:13.980 to the Lord. The article says, as Christian artists embrace a wider variety of sounds and market songs

00:51:19.800 and market songs savvily on social media, they're rapidly widening their reach. Faith-based music can go

00:51:25.020 viral just like rapper pop songs, and it gains an additional boost from its close relationship with

00:51:29.720 country, which currently dominates the charts. Okay, that's so true. I was just thinking about

00:51:33.980 this, that country music is also having a moment right now. And this is good. Like if I want genres

00:51:40.400 of music to have a moment, it's definitely Christian and country music and not rap music. You can say what

00:51:47.780 you want about that, but it's better. I'm not saying all country music is glorifying to God because

00:51:52.300 that's not true, but it's not as degenerate as rap music. Can we just be honest about that? It's just

00:51:57.100 true. Uh, Brandon Lake has amassed 2.5 billion streams across the platforms. He sang at Charlie's

00:52:02.860 Memorial. It was amazing. Dusty Bibles singer, Josiah Queen. That's one of his songs. I love that

00:52:08.800 song. Uh, he's only 22. He has racked up 515 million career streams. Of course, Forrest Frank,

00:52:15.620 millions and millions as well. Uh, in the first half of 2025, Christian releases outpaced new tracks from

00:52:23.680 every genre except country and streaming growth. That is incredible. Even though Christian music 1.00

00:52:29.280 still holds a small slice of the total U.S. listening pie, its portion has grown from 1.7%

00:52:34.580 at the close of 2023 to a solid 2% by mid 2025. That might seem smaller. That might seem small,

00:52:41.680 but it's actually not. This is, uh, edging close to dance and electronic 3.3% share. When artists who

00:52:48.780 most people see as secular come and do these Christian songs, they reach such a larger

00:52:53.300 audience. I've seen so many videos on TikTok where it's like, I'm not religious, but low key

00:52:57.980 Christian music slaps now, uh, which is true. So I'm excited about that. And obviously I think a lot

00:53:04.820 of people have a healthy skepticism when anything that was not mainstream becomes mainstream. You worry

00:53:09.900 about an artist selling out or compromising. Um, I certainly haven't seen that from someone like,

00:53:15.180 uh, for us, Frank. So I think we need to pray for them because we know Satan hates this.

00:53:19.340 Satan hates the gospel going out. Satan hates the name of Christ being glorified in a mainstream way.

00:53:24.340 And he wants these singers to compromise. He wants these singers to love money and fame more than

00:53:29.420 they love glorifying God. And that's not something that's exclusive or special to these people. That

00:53:34.840 is true of every single one of us. Like he will give us, like Satan is content to give us our,

00:53:41.340 like, um, our pride in our theology or our belief that God's favor is tied to money or success as

00:53:49.640 long as we are not giving the Lord our full heart. So pray for those that have platforms,

00:53:54.620 whether it's a podcast or whether it's a singer, pray for protection over them, that God would keep

00:54:01.200 their hearts humble and keep their minds focused on them. But we should be a part of this. Like,

00:54:06.180 even if you listen to any of these artists and you're like, that's not my cup of tea,

00:54:09.300 we should be excited about this and we should be spreading the word because like, we want more

00:54:13.740 people listening to edifying music. It's good for their heart. It's good for their mind. It's good

00:54:17.940 for their lives. And God's word doesn't return void when they hear God's word, when it seeps into

00:54:22.800 their heart, God uses that as a seed planted that he will give growth to at some point, how he sees fit

00:54:28.540 and all of us just play a part in that. And so these people are giving the Lord the praise they deserve

00:54:35.140 and people are listening to that. And that is really exciting. Now, speaking of music,

00:54:40.300 I wanted to talk about this song from Kelsey Ballerini, who is a country music artist, but

00:54:46.860 like a lot of country music, it's like hard to tell between country and pop these days.

00:54:51.400 And she's got this, um, she's got this song that is, uh, very relevant and relatable to a lot of

00:55:00.400 people right now. And I've listened to it a few times. It's really good. It doesn't relate to me,

00:55:04.760 but I can see how this vulnerability is speaking to what a lot of people feel. This is certainly not

00:55:11.120 Christian, but it's kind of reflecting this trend that we're seeing among a lot of young people,

00:55:17.440 especially young men actually, and wanting to go back to tradition, wanting to go back to church,

00:55:22.700 wanting to go back to marriage, wanting to actually have children. This is a positive trend 0.99

00:55:27.640 that we're seeing among young men, a negative trend among young women. We are seeing a lot of young 1.00

00:55:32.300 women say they don't want to get married. In fact, there was this, uh, Pew research, um, Pew research

00:55:39.540 study that I just saw circulating. I think this is full screen 31. It says girls are now less likely

00:55:46.180 than boys to say they want to get married. This is a percent of 12th graders saying they're most

00:55:51.880 likely to choose to get married in the long run. Only 61% of girls say that 74% of boys say that

00:55:59.660 that's actually not that different from 1993. So this is from 1993 to 2023 and 1993, 83% of girls said,

00:56:08.080 yeah, I'm probably going to get married one day. 76% of boys said that 2023, 30 years later,

00:56:14.880 61%, that's a 22% drop among girls, whereas it's only a 2% drop among boys. And this kind of correlates

00:56:22.800 with the trend that we've seen of young men, boys going back to church and girls just becoming

00:56:27.480 increasingly progressive, increasingly secular. Anyway, back to Kelsey Ballerini. She wrote this

00:56:35.040 song called I Sit in Parks and she's a woman in her thirties and she's reflecting, hang on,

00:56:41.700 I'm sitting in parks and I'm watching these adults, this couple, this married couple,

00:56:48.120 the same age as me with kids and they seem happy. Did I miss it? Here's thought seven.

00:56:51.800 Did I miss it? By now, is it a lucid dream? Is it my fault for chasing things? A body clock

00:57:02.300 doesn't wait for, I did the damn tour. It's what I wanted, what I got. I spun around and then I 1.00

00:57:10.720 stopped and wondered if I missed the mark.

00:57:21.200 So she's talking about how she's watching this couple and their kids and she does the tour. She

00:57:26.900 became successful. It's what she wanted, but did she make the right choice? This is a really sad verse

00:57:32.940 and good for her for being this vulnerable, but it's, I mean, it's bleak. It just is. So I sit in

00:57:40.060 parks, sunglasses, dark, and I hit the vape, hallucinate a nursery with Noah's Ark. They lay

00:57:45.700 on a blanket and I can't say that word. Uh, he loves her. I wonder if she wants my freedom. Like

00:57:53.240 I want to be a mother, but Rolling Stone says I'm on the right road. So I refill my Lexapro and

00:57:59.500 Lexapro is of course a medication for depression. And then the last line she says, so I sit in parks,

00:58:07.380 check in benchmarks. Taryn's due in June. The album's due in March. And Taryn is probably,

00:58:13.460 um, a friend. And I just wonder, we see all these statistics of these women saying, you know, I 0.97

00:58:21.000 don't, I don't need no man. I don't want to get married. I don't know if I want to have kids.

00:58:25.940 I'm going to just, you know, my, I'm just going to look to the government to take care of me and to

00:58:32.300 take care of other people. That's how I'm going to channel my motherhood instincts. We've talked a

00:58:37.820 lot about this misplaced mothering, how this motherhood instincts that we all have when we're

00:58:43.020 little girls, it doesn't go away. We take care of our pets. We take care of our dolls. We take care

00:58:47.800 of our flowers because that is the instinct that God has given us in general as women. And that's

00:58:54.720 supposed to be channeled towards children, whether or not you get married. If you don't get married,

00:59:00.140 then that is channeled towards children in some kind of ministry or volunteer capacity or teaching

00:59:04.500 capacity. And if you do get married and you do have children, it's supposed to be channeled towards

00:59:09.420 children. But that motherhood instinct is supposed to be channeled towards people, not your profession,

00:59:15.460 not your pet, not your plant and not politics. I read a line last night. I'm reading A Tree Grows in

00:59:21.540 Brooklyn. Um, this is one of these books that I've been reading off and on for months now,

00:59:26.020 and I wish I had the line in front of me. It was such a good line that described the teachers in

00:59:31.400 the early 1900s. This is a fictional book, but it was talking, it basically, I'm going to butcher it,

00:59:37.980 but it was basically like they had been starved of their motherhood instincts. So they had become

00:59:43.660 neurotic and trying to find a different channel for those instincts. And I'm not saying this is true

00:59:49.080 of all women who aren't mothers. I'm not saying that I'm just talking in principle and in general

00:59:54.140 and statistically, I do think that the starvation of those natural motherhood instincts does lead

01:00:01.300 to a neuroticism and a sadness that we actually see manifest through progressive values and democratic

01:00:06.860 politics and toxic empathy. We've got more on this in just a second. Let me tell you about our

01:00:12.340 last sponsor for the day. The American Revolution did not begin in 1776. It began in the hearts and

01:00:19.780 minds of people who were in America generations earlier. Those were ordinary men and women who

01:00:25.500 crossed the ocean, not for comfort, but for the chance to live according to faith and reason free

01:00:30.880 from tyranny. And that story is not just history. It is still true today. Hillsdale College's new

01:00:37.940 Colonial America miniseries takes you back to that beginning, exploring how faith, liberty, and virtue

01:00:43.340 built the groundwork for a nation unlike any other. In six beautifully produced lessons,

01:00:48.120 Hillsdale professors walk through the political, religious, and cultural ideas that made revolution

01:00:53.780 possible and show why those same ideas are still worth defending today. Hillsdale has more than 40

01:01:00.400 online courses from the Constitution to C.S. Lewis to the stories of Genesis that are totally free to

01:01:06.740 you. That is amazing. You will be smarter. You will be wiser when you sign up for Hillsdale's courses.

01:01:11.720 Go to hillsdale.edu slash relatable to enroll. No cost. Easy to get started. That's hillsdale.edu

01:01:17.040 slash relatable. Okay, so if we look at some of the priorities that young women do have, we're

01:01:32.960 looking at NBC News, for example. If we see male voted for Trump, number one, one of the top priorities

01:01:41.400 that they have is having children, the number one priority they have. Female voted for Trump,

01:01:47.800 achieving financial independence. So already, like we see such a difference there. A male voted for 0.76

01:01:54.780 Harris, having a job or a career you find fulfilling. Female voted for Harris, having a job or career you 0.95

01:02:00.860 find fulfilling. But the men that voted for Trump, they are prioritizing having children, being married.

01:02:07.960 Yes, they want to achieve financial independence. I think it's very telling that one of the highest

01:02:15.080 priorities for the females that voted for Trump, for everyone else, this is like low, but having

01:02:20.820 emotional stability. That's what they want. And that means that they don't really have it because

01:02:26.460 they're refilling their vape and their Lexapro. And I think they're sad about how their life is. And again,

01:02:32.220 I'm not denigrating all groups of people. This is just statistically like what is going on. And there

01:02:40.180 is a huge gender gap, but it's not just a gender gap and it's not just a political gap. It really

01:02:46.100 is a marriage gap. Like when you break it down even further, the priorities of women who are married 0.76

01:02:52.380 versus unmarried are very, very different. The politics of women who are married versus unmarried 0.51

01:02:58.660 are very, very different. I know that we as women, we don't like to talk about this, but the truth is,

01:03:03.840 is that women are very influenced by our husbands. That's a good thing. That's a good thing, by the 1.00

01:03:10.160 way, like God made us that way. I don't care. Like you can talk to whatever girl boss, feminist that 1.00

01:03:15.400 you want. Girls want to be, women want to be led. Like we want to be led by someone who is strong, 0.85

01:03:21.380 by someone who is decisive, by someone who is smart. It's not about wanting to be micromanaged

01:03:27.420 or being incapable or being, you know, like intellectually weak. It's not about that,

01:03:33.620 but women want to be led by a strong man, by a husband. And that is why some of these strongest 0.99

01:03:42.060 women I know, their politics and their ideas have changed after getting married because they love and 1.00

01:03:48.740 respect their husband and their husband. Yeah. Might have been like, babe, we can't vote for Joe

01:03:55.040 Biden. Like, did you think about this? And it might take that for them to be like, oh yeah. Again,

01:04:00.740 not speaking about all single women. I know single women who are very conservative, strong Christians,

01:04:05.300 all of that. But I also know a lot of women who would probably be liberal if they didn't get married. 1.00

01:04:12.100 And I just wonder if progressives know that. And that's why they try to subvert marriage so much.

01:04:17.520 But marriage is such a stabilizing force. It's a stabilizing force for men and men's nature.

01:04:24.880 It's a stabilizing force for women and women's nature. Men who want to seek conquest that has to 1.00

01:04:31.400 be channeled in the right and moral way. And women who are typically driven very often by our emotions

01:04:38.920 that has to be harnessed for good. Children who need that physical and emotional protection

01:04:43.920 and nurturing. All of that is found in the family. The marriage between a man and a woman who bring

01:04:51.280 two very good things to the table that is necessary, not only in the lives of children,

01:04:57.040 but in the life of the community and of a country. And when we miss that, we're missing a lot. And you

01:05:04.180 just see a lot of misguided women. And I'm sure a lot of disappointed men because of that. 0.91

01:05:09.300 So those of us who have little kids, like, let's raise up our children in the way they should go

01:05:15.580 to make sure that they desire not only to follow the Lord, although that's first and foremost,

01:05:21.720 but also healthy marriages and to have children and to raise children and the Lord, that we're

01:05:27.720 raising girls who value that, that we're raising men who know how to cherish and seek a godly woman.

01:05:33.880 Um, and I would feel really good if I, if I knew, which I do know that there are many parents who

01:05:41.580 are doing that for their children, but if all of us can just commit together, those of us who have

01:05:46.540 these, are they gen alpha? I don't even know what generation our, uh, kids are. If we are committing

01:05:51.440 to raising them in that way and protecting them from the predation of technology and progressive

01:05:56.320 politics and entertainment and all of that, then that would be a good thing. Um, all right,

01:06:01.860 that's all we have time for today. Remember the Lord is in all of this and he is using us to infuse

01:06:06.860 light in every single sphere that we occupy. All right. We'll be back here on Wednesday.
