Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 773 ｜ SPECIAL EPISODE： New Set, Announcement, Giveaway & Other Fun!

00:00:00.000 We are on our new set. If you're watching on YouTube, I cannot wait to show it to you. But

00:00:06.140 even if you're listening, we've got a lot of fun stuff for you today. A lot of new stuff. We've got

00:00:10.140 new merch. We've got an exciting announcement at the end of the episode. We've got some games we're

00:00:15.120 going to play. We've also got some amazing encouragement that you guys sent me that I know

00:00:19.460 wasn't just edifying for me. It will also be edifying for you as well. If we have time,

00:00:25.180 we'll get into some new stories, but we've got a lot of ground to cover on this episode of

00:00:29.100 Relatable, which is brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers. Go to GoodRanchers.com.

00:00:33.560 Use promo code Allie at checkout for a discount. That's GoodRanchers.com. Code Allie.

00:00:47.340 Okay. What'd you think? What'd you think? It's the new music. It's the new branding. If you're just

00:00:53.560 listening, you can't see the new branding. You can't see the new set that we're on. So you need to go

00:00:58.320 watch this on YouTube if you haven't already. It's always out at 6 p.m. Eastern time. So depending

00:01:04.600 on the time that you're listening to this, it may or may not be up. I know, I know it's going to take

00:01:09.960 a little bit of an adjustment for you to get used to the new music. I got so many messages from you

00:01:15.680 guys saying, don't get rid of the music. I dance with my child to this or my child recognizes this and

00:01:23.100 I get so excited about the intro, but you'll get used to this. I personally really like the new

00:01:28.860 music. So today we're just going to have a fun episode. We'll get into some new stuff too, as you

00:01:34.260 heard at the top of the show, but we are just going to talk about the new set. We're going to talk about

00:01:39.880 relatable giveaway, all that fun stuff. And then I do have an announcement, like I said, at the end,

00:01:45.860 and then we're going to play a couple games too. Also joining me today, we've got some people joining

00:01:51.160 me. We've got Brie and we've got Victoria. There they are. They're not the most excited about being

00:01:58.320 on camera today, but I told them that they must be. And so here they are. They will be celebrating

00:02:05.940 the new set and some new stuff and some new merch too. I'll be announcing all of that.

00:02:11.080 Um, okay. Let's first, before we get into anything today, let's just take a look, a little tour of the

00:02:17.600 new set. If I could get up and like walk around, I would. So you're not going to be able to see

00:02:21.980 everything. Maybe we'll do like a BTS behind the scenes thing later. So let's go to the wide shot

00:02:27.560 and let's show them. Okay. So we've got our new relatable brand and that's our new font, which I

00:02:34.200 absolutely love. I absolutely love this glow lamp. Now let me just go ahead and point out something.

00:02:41.080 That I know some of you are going to say, and we're just going to have to be okay with it.

00:02:46.920 Now that T right there in the relatable, some of you have said, because I showed this on Instagram,

00:02:53.480 some of you have said, looks like an R, but look, this is going to be one day, this, this word,

00:03:00.300 this brand is going to be as iconic as the Walt Disney brand. And we all know how confusing that D is

00:03:07.340 that some of us thought when we were younger, that it was a G and we realized, no, it is a D.

00:03:13.060 So this is going to be an iconic T. So even though some of you, can we pull it up? Even though some of

00:03:18.940 you think it looks like an R, it is indeed a T. I love it. It's vintage. It's cute. We've got our

00:03:25.460 cactus going on. We actually are not completely done yet. So we're going to have some different plants

00:03:30.440 that are, um, that are coming in. And there are some different things that we're still adding to

00:03:35.080 that corner over there that just haven't come in yet. We've also got some other like fun personal

00:03:40.200 touches that we're adding to it. If you know, you know, got dinosaurs all around me because we're

00:03:45.920 just not sure. We're just not sure. I'm sure that these dinosaurs exist, but when it comes to the

00:03:50.980 others, I don't know, the jury is still out. That's what I'll say on that. Um, and then we've

00:03:57.480 got, if you look closely, like the more that you watch it, you'll see some stuff that we've added

00:04:03.280 that just kind of speak to the things that I'm interested in. Some of the things that we've

00:04:07.300 talked about on the show, you can't see the full, the full range of things that I have behind me in

00:04:13.260 this shot. Um, I don't even know if you can see it on the wide shot. Can you see some of the

00:04:18.100 stuff on the wide shot? Okay. So we can't see everything on the wide shot, but we'll show

00:04:23.320 like a behind the scenes or maybe one day we'll like pan the camera up so you can see it. We've

00:04:27.840 got C.S. Lewis staring down at me and we actually thought about moving him down. It's a sketch of

00:04:33.020 C.S. Lewis because y'all know how much I love C.S. Lewis, but it kind of freaked me out when we put

00:04:37.900 him right behind me. Looked like he was staring over my shoulder and I didn't like that. Um, and then

00:04:43.880 I grew up in Texas, so we've got some odes to Texas also. Uh, so I love it. I love this set.

00:04:50.420 I know that you guys are going to love it too. We just wanted a little bit of contrast, something

00:04:54.520 a little bit different. I know change is tough, but I think y'all are going to get used to it.

00:04:59.100 I actually want to move like all of this stuff, um, into my, into my home because I love it that

00:05:04.840 much. I'll Victoria Brie. I know that y'all like the set cause we have been talking about it

00:05:09.620 painstakingly forever. What's your favorite part about the new set? That's a good question.

00:05:16.260 I would, off the top of my head, the dinosaur, the little dinosaur planter behind you.

00:05:21.480 Yeah. Love it. A nice little touch. Yeah. Victoria, what about you? Question everything.

00:05:26.560 Yeah. I love the blue bonnets. I think it's so cute. The blue bonnets. I think that's cute too,

00:05:33.240 but I think my favorite is probably the sign itself. Probably the relatable sign and also the black

00:05:37.960 walls. It's just so different than what we had before guys. There are so many people and so many

00:05:43.240 things that go into something like this. It's funny because a lot of y'all thought that I recorded at

00:05:48.860 home and my last one, which I love that y'all thought that I was at home, but I actually am at

00:05:56.400 a studio and there are so many people that go into this. We've been planning this, designing this,

00:06:01.420 building this since, I don't know, November probably. Um, and so, yeah, there's been a lot of effort

00:06:07.680 put into it. We just want it to look the best possible. And we're still, we might still be

00:06:11.660 adjusting the lighting a little bit. That's up until like the, honestly, like the moment this

00:06:16.680 music started playing, we were still thinking about the lighting. And so it might look a little

00:06:21.620 bit different. I don't know yet. We're still assessing, we want it to be absolutely perfect.

00:06:26.500 And so we're still assessing exactly what it's going to look like, but you can, you can let me know.

00:06:31.940 I'll take it under advisement. As you guys know, y'all are my official executive producers,

00:06:38.400 but I can't take all of your feedback because y'all have really conflicting opinions. And sometimes

00:06:45.620 let's just be real, not good opinions. So I have to make an assessment and use my best discernment

00:06:52.880 and professional opinion when weighing y'all's opinions about what the set and everything looks

00:06:57.440 like. But I do value your feedback. Okay. Speaking of valuing feedback, one thing that I thought would

00:07:03.380 be fun, I ask you guys on Instagram, if you would please send me just some ways that either Relatable

00:07:12.420 has changed your mind on something. And if you didn't, if you weren't able to do this when I asked

00:07:17.620 on Instagram before I'm now recording the show, feel free to leave a YouTube comment, or you can still

00:07:22.200 message me if you want to. How Relatable has changed your mind or just what the show has meant to you,

00:07:27.280 because that's not just for me. It's not just to boost my ego because that's not how I see it at

00:07:32.020 all. This really is a team effort every day, such a team effort. And it's really meaningful to the

00:07:38.800 people who work behind the scenes too, because it just reminds us about why we do what we do.

00:07:44.260 And I, of course, don't, I'm going to read you some of these messages. And I think it's important

00:07:48.400 to do because I think it edifies you guys out there too. But this is not something that I take credit

00:07:54.560 for, or I think, wow, I'm just so great that I can change people's minds. I really do see it as

00:07:59.620 wow. God can use absolutely anyone and anything to change people's hearts and minds on subjects that

00:08:05.720 are consequential. And also, Brie told me that she has something that she changed her mind on,

00:08:10.580 which I'm really interested to hear. So we'll hear it in the next segment. I don't even know what

00:08:14.600 she's going to say. And then we'll get into some fun games and do some more fun stuff.

00:08:18.600 All right. So this is our new set. That was the introduction. We got new branding. We got all

00:08:24.280 new stuff. And I know that you guys really like it. I love it. And I'm so, so thankful to all the

00:08:29.900 people who have been working really hard behind the scenes to get all this to happen by today.

00:08:48.600 All right. So I was totally overwhelmed by the beautiful messages that you all sent me. I didn't

00:08:56.480 even get to open close to all of them. So I'm so sorry if you sent me a message and I didn't respond

00:09:02.560 or I didn't even open it. Don't think that it doesn't matter or that it's not meaningful. I may

00:09:08.280 see it one day later if I get to your message or I may not, but just know that I appreciate it. I

00:09:14.000 understand that you're all busy. And so you taking the time to send me a well thought out message

00:09:19.160 saying what relatable means to you, I really, really value the energy and the effort that it

00:09:24.200 took to do that. So thank you so much. I'm going to read some of them that I did open. And then we're

00:09:30.120 just going to kind of talk a little bit about the subjects that were most popular that you said that

00:09:35.420 you changed your mind on. So I will go ahead and say, and like I said, I'll read some of the messages

00:09:39.460 specifically, but I'll go ahead and say the most popular subjects that I got on which people said

00:09:46.600 you changed my mind on that, or not even me, but a guest, the show changed my mind on this.

00:09:52.200 IVF and surrogacy, the whole reproductive technology industry. I think for most of you,

00:09:57.560 and this is like me too, you just hadn't thought about it. You just hadn't thought about the ethical

00:10:02.140 questions, the gray areas of things like IVF. We're pro-life. We love babies. We love creating life.

00:10:09.060 We didn't think about all those souls on ice and all of the potential risks to the mother and child

00:10:14.720 when it comes to IVF. We didn't think about the father-mother separation when it comes to sperm

00:10:19.360 donation and egg donation. We didn't think about what is going on in the physical and psychological

00:10:25.700 development of a child when it comes to surrogacy and purposely taking away a child from his mother or

00:10:31.680 father. It's not that you were necessarily pro those things. You just didn't think about it. You just

00:10:37.000 didn't know. I've had several guests or a couple guests, Jennifer Law and Katie Foust, who have both

00:10:42.240 come on the show and we've talked about these things, the importance of children's rights,

00:10:46.560 the importance of thinking through these issues. I'm so thankful to them because they taught me so

00:10:51.720 much. One of my favorite things to do is to introduce you guys to people who have taught me

00:10:57.180 things and who have changed my mind on things and enlightened me. These are not always,

00:11:02.880 actually, I would say very often, they are not the most well-known people, the people with the

00:11:08.420 biggest audiences. Some of my most popular interviews, my most popular episodes are with

00:11:13.860 people that some of you, most of you, have never heard of. That just gives me so much joy

00:11:20.120 in helping to amplify voices that God is using and that are doing really, really good work.

00:11:28.120 And so, wow, that changed a lot of your minds. Actually, one of you said that you were signed up

00:11:34.920 to be a surrogate until you listened to those episodes and it changed your mind. So if you're

00:11:41.500 listening to this and you're like, well, what's wrong with that? You should go back and listen to

00:11:44.920 some of the episodes that we've done on it. It might change your mind too, or it might take a

00:11:49.080 little while. Okay, before I get into the specifics of this, I also want to say that one comment that I

00:11:53.920 kept receiving that I saw in these messages was that I was really shook the first few times that

00:12:02.100 I listened to you, or I was really offended, or I was really thrown off when my friend shared your

00:12:07.800 episodes with me, whether they're on abortion or whatever. And at first, I really did not want to

00:12:14.160 agree with you. I didn't want to like you. I didn't want to like the show. It just took me time. And that's

00:12:19.060 definitely true when it comes to the IVF slash surrogacy issue. I got a lot of messages when I

00:12:24.480 first started talking about this, being like, this is wrong. You're unloving. You're unempathetic.

00:12:30.940 You don't understand because you haven't been through this. And then messages later on. And I 0.99

00:12:35.280 always really admire this about the character of a person who were like, wow, I didn't think about it

00:12:40.180 like that, or I changed my mind, or I see kind of what you or your guests were saying. So I always loved

00:12:45.140 those. I always loved the people who started off like not liking me or not liking something that

00:12:49.500 I said. And then over time, they kind of, they changed their mind. That's cool. Okay. So some

00:12:54.820 of the specific messages that I got about the IVF surrogacy, someone said, Taylor said, IVF and

00:13:01.020 surrogacy are the biggest ones. I went from thinking how amazing it is for people who aren't able to have

00:13:04.860 kids now thinking from the perspective of the child. So eye-opening. Jessica said the same thing.

00:13:10.740 She just thought that the technological advancements in this realm were a good thing

00:13:14.460 because they're medical progress. But she said that she realized that just because something

00:13:20.280 is deemed medical process doesn't mean that it's actually good and certainly doesn't mean

00:13:25.000 that we should participate in it. Like we always say, when technology takes us from what is natural

00:13:30.580 to what is possible, there are always at the very least questions that we should ask ourselves

00:13:34.960 about that. The other big one that we, that we saw messages about, it was abortion. There were a lot

00:13:42.440 of people who came to my podcast before they started listening, they were either pro-choice or they just

00:13:46.940 didn't know, or they were personally pro-life, but politically pro-choice. And so I got a lot of

00:13:53.140 messages from people saying, saying that they changed their mind on this. So here's a message from

00:14:01.300 someone named Allison about this. Abortion. She said, I used to be pro-choice. I'm now passionately

00:14:06.700 pro-life. In fact, a client of mine got pregnant unexpectedly. She didn't want the baby. For 0.99

00:14:12.240 whatever reason, she was confiding in me. One morning, she texted me from the parking lot of

00:14:16.540 an abortion clinic on the verge of ending her baby's life. Had I not been pro-life at this point, had the

00:14:21.600 situation happened to me five, 10 years ago, I'd have told her to do what she felt was right. Instead,

00:14:26.660 I prayed before stepping into the conversation with her, and then I called her. I had no idea what to say,

00:14:31.220 but I knew God would guide my words. She ended up not having the abortion. And then she talks about

00:14:36.160 the baby's name and she says, praise God. Thank you, Allie, for helping to shift my mind. I know

00:14:43.180 God worked through you to sanctify me out of being pro-choice. And that's just amazing. It's just

00:14:48.120 amazing. And I just want that to encourage you too, that you never know what conversation you have

00:14:57.380 or what you post on social media or what act of courage or boldness you do that may plant a seed

00:15:05.800 in someone's mind that could change their mind on abortion. And then they could save someone's life,

00:15:10.340 or maybe you saved someone's life by convincing someone. I know sometimes it seems fruitless,

00:15:14.900 like you're just speaking into a void, like no one cares what you have to say, or everyone's angry at

00:15:19.640 what you have to say. It's not about you. It's not about people liking you. It's not about the

00:15:24.460 instant gratification. It's not about the immediate positive feedback. It is about obedience. And God

00:15:30.100 promises to use obedience. And you may never know how God is going to use your words and use those

00:15:36.120 seemingly small acts of courage, but I promise he will. Like we're talking about physical lives here.

00:15:41.140 We're talking about souls. Your boldness absolutely matters, and it can plant seeds that save lives. So

00:15:46.220 just remember that. Someone named Alexandria said, she said that she realized that abortion is not the

00:15:53.960 answer in horrible cases of so-called exceptions, like rape or incest. The case you made for why

00:16:01.900 that is still an innocent life changed my mind and love the clarity and simplicity of your argument of

00:16:07.040 what is it about the circumstances, size or location that gives someone the right to kill a baby inside

00:16:11.460 the womb, but not the baby next to you. Well, thank you so much for saying that, Alexandria. And I had a lot

00:16:17.180 of messages, a lot of messages about that. And that is next to someone believing the gospel. That is

00:16:25.160 the most consequential thing that someone could change their mind on. Okay. This goes along with

00:16:31.160 that. This is also one of my favorite messages to get, and that is parenting. One person, Tara said

00:16:37.320 that she didn't want kids before listening to my show. And you have no idea how common this is.

00:16:42.600 And this just makes me sad. Like how many young women are convinced that the world, Christian young 0.99

00:16:49.520 women, that the world is so bad, that times are so scary, that the season is so challenging in American 0.86

00:16:55.740 or world history or whatever, that you shouldn't be fruitful in multiplying. As if God today is not

00:17:03.980 as powerful and not as sovereign and not as faithful and not as loving and not as good as he was a thousand

00:17:09.920 or two thousand years ago, as if Christians haven't gone through much more difficult times than they

00:17:15.520 have today. I mean, we are just kind of inundated with this antinatalist rhetoric today that I think

00:17:22.460 we don't realize has affected us, but it really has, just like feminism and every other kind of 0.98

00:17:28.920 secular ideology. And I think it's also just fear. And I think Satan loves for us to operate out of

00:17:35.000 terror, out of paranoia, out of not trusting the Lord, not realizing that God actually cares about

00:17:40.200 our kids' future more than we do. He cares about our kids' souls more than we do. And if the world

00:17:45.440 needs absolutely anything, it is godly, wise, courageous kids that must be raised by godly,

00:17:50.980 wise, courageous parents. So that's something that we talk about a lot. And there was a message by

00:17:57.640 someone named Geneva. And she said this, and I just love how, I just love this story. She said,

00:18:02.840 I just wanted to share the impact you and Relatable have had on my life. I grew up Amish.

00:18:06.620 I left and was pretty lost trying to figure out church and everything else in the outside world.

00:18:11.420 I started listening to your show. I've gained a lot of awareness. I didn't grow up knowing

00:18:15.180 anything about politics. Now I'm shocked when people don't pay attention to what's going on.

00:18:18.760 I got married to an amazing man, but I was very hesitant to bring children into this crazy world.

00:18:22.820 However, hearing you say over and over how the Bible commands us to do so, which it does,

00:18:28.820 except for in rare exceptions, which we've talked about before, to raise godly children

00:18:33.020 and having on guests that have shared stories that changed my mind. I'm now pregnant with our first,

00:18:38.460 a girl due in July. And there's not a doubt in my mind that we were called and equipped to raise

00:18:43.100 strong little warriors. Thank you so much for your strong stance on biblical values. That's so sweet.

00:18:47.780 Thank you so much for sharing that with me. And then Brooke says something similar. She says,

00:18:52.840 I forgot to mention the biggest one of all. I subconsciously bought into all of the world's

00:18:56.280 lies about having children and was terrified to have them. Even though my husband had made it clear

00:19:00.280 that he was ready whenever I was, it literally consumed all my thoughts. Your podcast was how

00:19:05.180 God slowly revealed to me how wrong I was about children. The Lord is still working on my heart

00:19:09.240 into 2019. We weren't quite ready, quite to the point of officially trying for children yet.

00:19:13.900 When I found out I was pregnant with our daughter. Oh, when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter,

00:19:18.680 but instead of fear, I immediately felt an immense peace because I had been so encouraged in truth

00:19:23.400 for over a year by then for this podcast. So thank you so much. And congratulations.

00:19:28.680 Congratulations. And I can relate to all of those fears, by the way. My mind was also changed and

00:19:33.640 developed over time when it comes to that, because it's really easy to give into the fear and even

00:19:38.680 selfishness. Another one, self-love. Of course, I wrote my book about that. You're not enough.

00:19:44.300 And that's okay. Jenna said that you and your podcast are one of the contributors to turning my life

00:19:50.580 around. I was totally sucked into the, you are enough. You're perfect just the way that you are.

00:19:54.400 She said that she had an unhappy life, unhappy marriage, and that she was just turning to these

00:19:58.580 motivational slogans, which we all have at some point, trying to make her feel better,

00:20:03.420 trying to make her feel worthy and sufficient. And she still was just coming up empty. None of

00:20:08.080 these self-help books were actually helping her. And then when she actually realized that she needed to

00:20:16.000 turn to the Lord, that's when her path towards repentance and satisfaction in a healthy marriage 0.76

00:20:20.800 really changed. So I'm just so thankful to the Lord for that. I've also been in a place where I

00:20:26.160 have tried to look to superficial self-help and self-love mantras to make myself feel better about

00:20:31.300 myself. Someone else sent me a message saying that a couple of years ago, she was all in on Rachel

00:20:36.960 Hollis' Girl, Wash Your Face. That was the entire culture that she was consumed by. And then she realized

00:20:42.520 how empty and how fleeting that all was. And then there's one, there's one who, or I mean,

00:20:50.200 not just one message, several messages, but one subject that I know is still controversial. Again,

00:20:54.540 go back and listen to my messages on this or my episodes on this if you haven't already. And that

00:20:58.520 is the death penalty. The death penalty. A lot of you came to my podcast thinking that the death penalty 0.99

00:21:04.540 is unjust, that it's unbiblical. And as we've talked about, as Genesis 9-6 talks about very clearly,

00:21:11.500 the death penalty for murder is not just suggested for, is not just suggested in the Bible, but is

00:21:19.780 actually demanded. And it's not because of cruelty, but it's actually because murder is so egregious

00:21:24.120 because we are so valuable because we're made in the image of God that the only just punishment for

00:21:28.460 it is capital punishment. That's what the God who is love, 1 John 4-8 says, is justice in that case.

00:21:35.200 Also, this is within this message about the death penalty that I got from Eva that I won't read in

00:21:42.040 its entirety, but some of you changed your minds on pit bulls too, which I feel like that probably

00:21:48.680 saved some lives. Oh gosh, I probably turned this into the most controversial episode. Go back and

00:21:54.400 listen to my episode on pit bulls if you're not so sure about that. And then several on theology too.

00:22:00.380 Um, a lot of you, I know, and I know people listening to this and watching this will still

00:22:05.600 be like, oh my gosh, I can't believe people are changing their mind on Calvinism and on reformed

00:22:10.620 theology. But a lot of you who came to my podcast, maybe you were in the prosperity gospel or you

00:22:15.500 just didn't know about reformed theology. And now you and your husband have started attending a

00:22:19.260 different church or, um, reading different books and following different teachers and your interest

00:22:24.820 was piqued in reformed theology. And yes, even Calvinism, I got a message saying that your mind

00:22:30.100 changed about predestination and that has actually allowed you to have confidence and clarity in your

00:22:34.820 salvation rather than always wondering if you're doing the right thing. Praise God. Praise God.

00:22:39.400 That is like one of the best things, um, that I can hear. And honestly, we haven't talked about

00:22:44.300 reformed theology that much, like explicitly in a while. And so I need to go back to doing some

00:22:50.300 episodes on that. We did a lot of like reformed theology 101, I think back in 2019. So you can go back

00:22:56.220 and listen to those episodes, but I love hearing that. And again, like, I feel like I'm just kind

00:23:00.600 of a springboard for y'all to go listen to the actual theologians and the pastors and read the

00:23:06.040 books that really go in depth on all of that. Um, okay. Last category. And this is one that I,

00:23:13.380 gosh, is so, I hear this all the time. I hear this all the time when I go speak somewhere or when I get a

00:23:19.900 message from you that you started following me in the summer of 2020. Now, why did you start

00:23:25.360 following me in the summer of 2020? Because you looked around and you realized that all of your

00:23:31.460 white Christian girlfriends were crazy. And you realize that they really, that a lot of them, 0.99

00:23:41.660 okay, I'm exaggerating, that a lot of them were just going along with what the world was saying

00:23:48.240 about what justice is, what racism is, what systemic racism and what the history of the

00:23:53.800 country looks like with white supremacy and oppression and all of these things. And you

00:23:57.600 just saw them start regurgitating the secular nonsense about, about justice and about how 0.85

00:24:05.200 we should regard each other. And you were like, okay, am I wrong here? Am I the one lacking

00:24:10.860 compassion? Am I the one lacking truth? Am I the one lacking love and empathy? And this is all

00:24:15.640 also when all of COVID was like blowing up. And so you're simultaneously being told if you

00:24:20.180 don't post a black square and you're not on the same page as people saying America is systemically

00:24:26.680 racist and you need to be reading Robin DiAngelo and doing all of these things in order to be truly

00:24:31.360 anti-racist. You're also getting told that you lack empathy and that you lack love and that you're not

00:24:35.780 a good Christian. You don't love your neighbor if you're not wearing a mask. And then later, if you don't

00:24:39.880 get the vaccine, if you don't want mask mandates, if you don't want vaccine mandates, then maybe you're

00:24:44.180 not really Christian enough. Like maybe you don't really understand Jesus. And I think a lot of

00:24:49.100 you kind of had like an identity crisis, which I totally understand. I had moments like this too

00:24:53.500 in 2020, looking around and being like, this doesn't sound right. None of this sounds biblical at all,

00:24:59.960 but these people that I really respect are saying these things. And so maybe, I don't know, maybe

00:25:06.060 they're right. And I, I'm not saying that I got everything right, obviously. Like there's so many

00:25:13.200 things that I learned over time that I'm like, oh, I said that, that wasn't right or that whatever,

00:25:17.180 and that I've changed. But I did refuse to post a black square. And I did refuse to go along with a 1.00

00:25:24.020 lot of the riots are the voice of the unheard. America is systemically racist. And the white race 0.90

00:25:31.080 needs to carry some kind of guilt or responsibility for reparations for what people who remotely looked

00:25:36.880 like them in the same relative geographical location 200 years ago might have done. It just

00:25:42.580 doesn't, it never made any sense to me. And I had a lot of conversations with a lot of Christian

00:25:47.040 leaders in that time who I know that my words were a thorn in their side because they were getting

00:25:53.120 people, Christians who followed me, who would go to them and say, okay, you're saying this, but here's

00:25:58.860 what Allie Stuckey said, or here's what this podcast said. And I, there was a lot of conflict

00:26:02.880 during that time between me and other Christian leaders behind the scenes, probably between you

00:26:07.500 and your friends, between churches and their congregants. And that was tough. And it certainly

00:26:12.240 wasn't only me saying these things. There were a lot of Christians on this side, pushing back against

00:26:16.560 the rhetoric and all of the policy changes that we were seeing in 2020. But a ton of you started

00:26:21.880 listening to Relatable during that time. And it really like it lived up to the name because we were

00:26:27.740 like, we had to come together and be like, yeah, we're not crazy. We're not crazy. We might not be

00:26:32.780 right on everything. I'm not claiming that at all, but we ain't crazy. Like, let's just remember

00:26:38.480 that the word of God is just as sufficient today as it was 2000 years ago. I'm sorry. I don't need

00:26:44.840 to borrow wisdom from Ibram X. Kendi, who is actually anti-biblical as much as he is, quote unquote,

00:26:50.800 anti-racist to understand what's going on in the world or what my role is as a Christian. And actually

00:26:57.600 what is being purported to be justice by these social justice, racial justice experts

00:27:02.200 is actually according to God, not just at all. And that's when we did our whole series on what

00:27:06.800 God's justice actually looks like, impartial, truthful, direct, proportional, which is not

00:27:11.860 at all what social racial justice is. So that's also what got me blocked by a lot of Christian 1.00

00:27:16.460 leaders too, even though I didn't come at them or anything, but I just had like a disagreement or I

00:27:22.020 had a differing opinion. And a lot of them decided then that, you know, they didn't want to talk to me.

00:27:27.180 But it's funny because now that Trump is out of office, a lot of those same people who were so

00:27:31.160 ardently, you know, whatever they were in the summer of George Floyd have really softened their

00:27:37.020 rhetoric on a lot of that stuff. It's interesting. It's interesting. So here is a message from one of

00:27:42.440 you. When the race riots and BLM stuff was happening, I knew it was off. I posted a black 1.00

00:27:46.140 square because a usually solid pastor did. I can probably imagine which one. I kept trying to

00:27:53.020 respond to people but couldn't yet nail down the biblical thoughts and words that I knew but

00:27:58.000 couldn't put into words. You really helped me process and sort through the weeds at that time,

00:28:02.060 clinging to truth through so much deception. I mean, this is probably the subject that I think

00:28:07.400 confuses Christian women the most and Christian women are most scared to go against the progressive

00:28:14.940 talking points on this. Lauren said, I was all in on the racial justice train in 2020 until I finally

00:28:21.440 caved and listened to one of your podcasts. I had been avoiding your show for months because I thought I

00:28:26.700 didn't want to be like my friends who were posting about your podcast. Got them. Well, I appreciate

00:28:34.660 that. And again, I'm not saying you shouldn't listen to other teachers or podcasters that don't agree with

00:28:40.220 me or have differing perspectives on this. I'm not saying that. I'm certainly not the infallible,

00:28:45.360 like perfect source on all of this stuff at all. I'm just saying that let's be discerning. A lot of

00:28:52.460 people just repeat progressive talking points, especially when it comes to that because it's easier to do.

00:28:56.700 No one wants to be called a racist. And you're just going to have to bear that risk if you want

00:29:03.100 to talk about what the Bible actually says about justice and reparations and evil and sin and all

00:29:09.460 of that. Okay. So we've gone through a lot. Some of you said that I changed your mind on Santa Claus

00:29:15.040 and the Easter Bunny. Yay. That is exciting. So thanks for sharing all those things. Okay. Now I want to

00:29:21.040 hear from you, Bri, Brianna. Um, I don't, full name treatment. Wow. Um, I don't want to be redundant,

00:29:31.040 but I have two. And one of them is IVF and surrogacy. And I remember before I started working

00:29:36.280 with you, I was talking to my friend about this and I was telling her, yes, I don't think it's,

00:29:42.940 I think it's selfish was my stance. I think it's selfish to spend so much money on that.

00:29:47.200 I'm really passionate about adoption. And so I've always thought, why would you spend money on IVF

00:29:52.240 when you, when there's a kid who already needs a home? But yeah, I had never, ever thought about

00:29:58.340 the ethical implications of souls on ice, of ripping a child away from their mother intentionally.

00:30:04.320 And I'm just like, I feel like I'm radical about it now.

00:30:09.360 I'm radical.

00:30:09.780 And before, I didn't even, well, and the other thing is, um, is pit bulls. And now I am an anti-pit bull

00:30:17.340 radicalist.

00:30:17.880 Okay. I thought that you were walked into this being an anti-pit bull.

00:30:21.520 No, it was doing research for that episode.

00:30:23.840 No way.

00:30:24.560 That converted me. Yeah. I didn't really care about them before.

00:30:26.740 I didn't know that, Bri.

00:30:27.220 Yeah.

00:30:27.820 Oh my gosh.

00:30:29.020 Wow.

00:30:29.280 I'm a changed woman.

00:30:29.940 Wow. And so she was obviously, she was talking about IVF, but then she was talking about surrogacy

00:30:34.880 to ripping a child of like away from, um, his mother. Yeah. You know, I hadn't really thought

00:30:40.820 about that that much either. I don't know if you have anything to add Victoria. It's okay. If you

00:30:43.920 don't, you changed my mind on a lot, Allie B, but I was such a hardcore Enneagram girl.

00:30:51.180 My entire personality was the Enneagram. So yeah, see, I know, but I guess I could guess

00:30:57.120 their Enneagram numbers. Cause I used to be, I used to be too. I used to be too, but now I do

00:31:02.900 feel like more and more people at step. I was not the first person to say something like bad

00:31:07.140 about the Enneagram, but now I do feel like there's more and more people who are willing to

00:31:11.840 be like, ah, maybe we put too much stock into this. I feel like people are finally getting out

00:31:16.680 of that fad. Yeah. It was a little bit of a fad. Um, people, again, you can go back. Uh, some

00:31:22.180 people are listening to this and they're like offended by every single category that we're

00:31:25.660 listening. Uh, go back and listen to some of those episodes before you leave your comment

00:31:30.940 saying how wrong we are. You might not change your mind. There's plenty of things, by the

00:31:34.480 way, that people didn't message me about that. I was like that I was unpersuasive on or like

00:31:39.540 they didn't change their mind on or anything. Um, okay. So thank you guys so much. That means

00:31:44.640 so much to me. We've been doing this podcast since 2018 started out once a week. Now it's four

00:31:48.600 times a week and, um, I just love doing it. It's my like professional baby. So it means

00:31:54.760 so much to me, but you guys mean so much to me and getting these messages is overwhelming

00:31:58.820 in a great way. It reminds me also how much work I have to do in trying to meet more of

00:32:04.260 you. Whenever I have, whenever I have, um, events across the country speaking, I have

00:32:09.540 the privilege of meeting and talking to a lot of you. Or sometimes I, I was at, I was at,

00:32:14.100 uh, lunch this weekend with some friends and one of you came up to me and you showed me my

00:32:20.040 Instagram page and you said, is this you? And I said, yes, it is. And so sometimes I get to meet

00:32:25.360 you out in the wild too. And, um, I appreciate that so much. Um, but just stay tuned. There may

00:32:32.700 be more opportunities, maybe more opportunities for us to meet in person.

00:32:48.380 Okay, ladies. Um, we decided that we would just do a fun little segment and this doesn't really,

00:32:55.100 now that I'm realized, it doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of the show at all.

00:32:58.040 Nothing. But we're just going to do it because it's fun. So the, we're going to do Taylor Swift

00:33:04.480 or Shakespeare and Michael Scott or Joe Biden. And I suggested Kamala Harris versus Michael Scott,

00:33:11.180 but they said Joe Biden's actually like his quotes are actually tougher. So we'll see. Okay. Taylor

00:33:17.720 Swift or Shakespeare. Apparently this is a trend on Tik TOK. I have a really hard time believing

00:33:22.880 that I will not be able to tell the difference, not because I know a lot of Shakespeare,

00:33:27.620 but because it's Taylor Swift. Like, I think I know is, um, like who said karma is a cat in my lap

00:33:37.760 who loves me. I don't think it was, I don't think it was a Hamlet. She just went through them and she

00:33:42.720 was like, wow, what a poet. And these are Swifties. Okay. I've got two resident Swifties on my show and

00:33:50.120 they said that this is difficult. So, okay, I'm, I'm ready. And then if I can think of a,

00:33:55.620 would you rather for y'all after this, I'm going to give you one and then we'll get into the rest

00:33:58.980 of the fun stuff. Okay. Okay. Taylor Swift or Shakespeare. Let's see. All right. I'm going

00:34:03.980 to take it away. So the first is I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones in a faith forgotten

00:34:09.820 land. In a faith forgotten land. I, I meet you. Oh, wow. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I think

00:34:17.620 it's Taylor Swift. You're right. Yeah. Okay. That's from Ivy. Okay. Um, though the chameleon

00:34:25.000 love can feed on the air. What's this word, Victoria? It's not camo melon. Yeah. She's used

00:34:35.240 to seeing cocoa melon. So earlier she was like, what is that? Okay. What is it? Sorry. Though

00:34:41.120 the chameleon love can feed on the air. Though the chameleon love can feed on the air. Yeah.

00:34:48.960 Is that also Taylor Swift? No, no, that's that's Shakespeare. Okay. Cause I don't know what that

00:34:55.520 means at all. Okay. Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

00:35:02.700 But that's definitely Taylor Swift for sure. Um, yeah. Right. Yeah. I don't know what song that's

00:35:07.580 from, but I can just totally see her saying that. That's from Coney Island. Um, okay. And

00:35:11.800 I'll stay forgetting any other home, but this. I would say that's Taylor Swift, but I'm second

00:35:19.620 guessing myself. Is it? It's not. It's Shakespeare. It's Shakespeare. Wow. This is actually

00:35:25.060 time. Okay. You're right. You're right. Wow. Okay. Okay. A couple more past the curses and

00:35:31.100 cries beyond the terror in the nightfall. Taylor Swift. Yeah. Okay. Are you just guessing one or

00:35:39.460 the other now? No, I'm guessing Taylor Swift like every time I feel like. Okay. Okay. Last one.

00:35:45.660 Sad hours seem long.

00:35:49.940 Shakespeare. Yeah, that is Shakespeare. Okay. I'm actually impressed by how difficult that is.

00:35:56.440 Yeah. Maybe if I knew more Shakespeare or knew more Taylor Swift, it wouldn't be as hard.

00:36:01.260 Well, I was telling you, I am a fan of both and I didn't even know all of these. What's your

00:36:07.800 favorite Shakespeare play? I like the two gentlemen of Verona. Oh, it's my favorite. I don't know.

00:36:13.660 Wow. Interesting. Um, okay. Are y'all going to the Taylor Swift concert? Of course. Happy

00:36:19.440 era's tour kickoff. Oh, that's exciting. Are you going Victoria? I'm not. Yeah. It wasn't a priority.

00:36:26.080 I saw that. Sorry. Sorry. I saw Alex Clark that she went and she said it was amazing. I heard it

00:36:32.480 was so good. She performs for three hours and 15 minutes. I heard so in the world. Her outfit 1.00

00:36:38.620 changes. Yeah. I saw her in like 2015 and it was really good. And that was like, I wasn't really,

00:36:45.940 I was like very skeptical of her. And it was a really good show. Okay. You'll have to tell us

00:36:50.800 how it is, Bri. Okay. Um, Michael J. Scott or Joseph R. Biden. Okay. Let's see. Victoria's

00:37:03.040 gonna. Okay. I love babies. I think they're beautiful in all sorts of different ways. I

00:37:08.100 try to pick up and hold a baby every day if possible because it nourishes me. That's Michael

00:37:13.940 Scott. Isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. I think I remember that. This is actually going to be easier for

00:37:18.740 me because I know so much of the office. That's what I figured. Yeah. Okay. You cannot

00:37:22.620 go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Oh, that's 1.00

00:37:28.060 Joe Biden. I remember him saying that. But man, that is so Michael Scott. You could see

00:37:33.620 them. You could see him saying that in the diversity training. It's in our cookie cookie

00:37:37.740 cookie episode. Okay. You know what else is facing five Goliaths? America, Al-Qaeda, global

00:37:45.060 warming, sex predators, mercury poisoning. Oh, my gosh. I think that's Michael Scott. 0.87

00:37:54.380 But I could see Joe Biden having said that like yesterday. It is Michael Scott. It is

00:37:59.800 Michael Scott. Mercury poisoning. Rabies. Okay. Okay. Now you may look around and see two

00:38:06.140 groups here. White collar, blue collar. But I don't see it that way. And you know why not?

00:38:10.360 Because I am collar blind. Collar blind. Oh, that's Michael Scott. That's got to be way

00:38:16.060 too clever for Biden. He would never come up with that. Okay. Pizza. Great equalizer. Rich

00:38:24.380 people love pizza. Poor people love pizza. White people love pizza. Black people love pizza. 0.99

00:38:29.380 I think Michael Scott. Right? Okay. Again, too funny and clever for Joe Biden. I'm good at this. Okay.

00:38:42.020 Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. Now, that would have been hilarious 1.00

00:38:47.340 if Michael Scott had said that. It would have been really funny on the episode where he – Scott's

00:38:54.340 Tots. Remember Scott's Tots? That would have been perfect in Scott's Tots.

00:38:59.060 But it's definitely Joe Biden. I also remember him saying this. Sadly is. Okay. Last one.

00:39:05.300 You all look dull as hell, I might add. The dullest audience I have ever spoken to. Just sitting 0.75

00:39:10.780 here staring at me. Pretend you like me. Again, tough. Tough. Because you can see in like maybe

00:39:20.240 like a dementia flare up, Joe Biden saying something like that. Because you know what makes you really

00:39:26.820 ornery. But I think it's Michael Scott. Joe Biden. It actually is Joe Biden. Oh, my gosh.

00:39:36.320 When did he say that? Pretend you like me. I don't know. I don't have it written down here.

00:39:40.620 That is a very Jeb Bush please clap moment. Do you all remember that?

00:39:44.600 Please clap. Please clap. Yeah. Good job. Oh, my gosh. Okay. I feel pretty good about

00:39:50.880 that. Okay. Let me see. I did not think of a would you rather before. So let me really

00:39:57.780 think about this for a second. Okay. Would you rather have to only drink liquid? You can never

00:40:13.120 drink any liquid unless it's out of a paper straw. And you have to use that same paper straw until it

00:40:19.580 completely disintegrates. And when it's done, you have to just get another paper straw. Or only ever

00:40:26.780 be able to eat anything with a spoon, including hamburgers, pizza. Like things you eat with your

00:40:34.900 hand, you still have to eat with a spoon. Anything. Something that you would eat with a fork, a salad.

00:40:39.440 That's so annoying. Yeah. I think better than me saying eat anything with a fork, though, because

00:40:45.480 you could definitely never eat soup or ice cream or anything like that. So everything with a spoon

00:40:50.620 or every liquid with a paper straw until it disintegrates. I mean, I have to go with the

00:40:57.520 straw just for like ease of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I hate paper straws so much. Honestly, I'm weird. I

00:41:06.660 eat a lot of foods with spoons when I should eat them with forks. Hamburger? Well, I use my hand for

00:41:11.720 that. No, no. You have to use a spoon. I would do spoon. That's how much I hate. What do you eat

00:41:17.440 with a spoon that we would consider weird? I don't know. Like if I cook pasta, I feel like most

00:41:23.860 people would eat it with a fork. I eat it with a spoon. What? I know it sounds really weird. Just

00:41:29.360 a spoon? Spaghetti? You eat it with a spoon? I still do. I still do. I just kind of, my husband

00:41:34.660 thinks it's so weird. I just like spoons. I like eating with spoons. Agree, Mr. Victoria. It's my toxic

00:41:40.040 trait. Oh my goodness. I don't, I'm going to try this tonight because I was thinking

00:41:46.500 of making pasta. Now I could see it with like pinne or something. For sure pinne. For

00:41:51.960 sure pinne. Duh. Okay. I want you to try something. You just get the sauce. It's going to change

00:41:57.560 your life and you're going to be able to get way more noodles. Okay. A fork? A fork.

00:42:03.420 Have you, do you know? Do you know about, have you heard about forks? I just, I like my spaghetti

00:42:09.700 tinier. Okay. I also, I don't know what that means. Like shorter? I also don't eat spaghetti

00:42:20.600 that often, I guess, but I really just, I don't always eat spaghetti, but when I do, it's with

00:42:25.160 a spoon. Okay. Okay. I, okay. Wow. This led to a revelation that I wasn't really prepared

00:42:32.880 for. Um, okay. Last segment. Let's see. Should I do my final ad now or should I do it after

00:42:42.420 one of the next two segments? Should I do it after the giveaway? No, I just do it now.

00:42:48.100 So there's a break. No. Okay. Okay. Okay. Brie says no. She's in charge. 0.72

00:42:55.160 All right. Now for our giveaway. So we've been planning this for a really long time. I'm so

00:50:13.140 Allie10 for 10% off your order. All right. Well, we definitely don't have time for a news segment.

00:50:20.000 Okay. But I do have some news myself and I feel so awkward always announcing this, but I am pregnant.

00:50:26.880 Yay. Yep. I'm pregnant with number three and I am 17 weeks and I wasn't really like that eager to

00:50:39.140 announce yet. I feel like by number three, you're just kind of, I don't know. You're like, yeah,

00:50:44.540 I'll announce when I announce, but it's getting harder and harder to disguise it. And so I just

00:50:51.180 thought rather than people asking whether it's a baby or whether I'm just randomly gaining weight

00:50:56.540 around my middle, I just thought that I would just go ahead and reveal it that yes, I am indeed

00:51:02.200 pregnant and my husband and I are super excited. And so do sometime in August. So yeah, yeah, we're

00:51:11.080 excited about that. And pregnancy has been pretty good. First trimester was rough. Actually, if you go

00:51:18.600 back and you look at some of my episodes during first trimester, like during January and February,

00:51:24.200 and if there was ever a day where you're like, Hmm, Allie, Hmm, she could have brushed her hair. She

00:51:29.720 maybe looks sick. I probably because it's because I was actually in my most popular interview with

00:51:37.160 Ginger Volo. I'm looking real rough because I was nine weeks pregnant at that point. And I was

00:51:44.620 very sick. I actually had to text Ginger after and say, I am so sorry if it seemed like I was tired

00:51:50.780 or something. It's because I am in the throes of morning sickness and all of that stuff. But I'm now

00:51:57.220 in the second trimester and I feel really good. Praise God that the pregnancy so far has been really

00:52:02.400 smooth. No complications. It's been a boring pregnancy for all intents and purposes, which is good.

00:52:07.740 Um, so yeah, I appreciate your prayers and your thoughts and your celebrations and all of that good

00:52:14.320 stuff. And yeah, that's it. I'm pregnant. That's all I wanted to say. That's my announcement. I remember

00:52:22.040 when I announced my very first pregnancy right at 12 weeks in 2018. Yeah, 2018. And here I am, guys. You've seen

00:52:32.580 me through three pregnancies. Thanks for that. Um, okay. I guess that's all I got to say. Thank you

00:52:38.580 guys so much for joining this fun episode of Relatable. We'll be back to regularly scheduled

00:52:43.800 programming for the rest of the week. Tomorrow I've got a fun interview. Um, but we'll also be

00:52:49.960 talking about the news. We will be talking about President Trump possibly getting arrested. I've

00:52:54.120 gotten tweets about that, about why haven't you talked about that yet? Well, I'm still gathering a lot

00:52:59.560 of information and we had a lot to talk about today, but I promise we will be talking about that and

00:53:03.700 covering all of that insanity, but just wanted to have a nice, fun, lighthearted episode today. So

00:53:08.460 thank you guys so much for joining and we will see you back here tomorrow.
