Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 812 ｜ Will Chip & Jo Speak Out Against Target 'Pride'？

00:00:00.000 Target has responded to the fierce backlash it has received for their pride collection,

00:00:07.080 which included, quote-unquote, tucking bathing suits and compression tops,

00:00:12.960 as well as designs that were made by an open Satanist.

00:00:18.600 Now is the time to double down on our divestment from Target.

00:00:24.980 Also, Chip and Joanna, where are you at on this?

00:00:46.040 Hey, guys.

00:00:46.880 Welcome to Relatable.

00:00:47.860 Happy Thursday.

00:00:49.460 Hope everyone's had a wonderful week.

00:00:51.560 If you haven't listened to Tuesday and Wednesday's interviews, go back and listen to those.

00:00:57.020 I was actually in Orlando very quickly yesterday for NRB.

00:01:01.940 Got to sit on a panel with Dennis Prager and some other great people and talk about some

00:01:07.900 things that really matter in regards to the First Amendment, but also just sharing the

00:01:11.120 gospel no matter what policies are put in place, because Jesus has given us both the

00:01:16.260 right and the responsibility to do so, as we read in Matthew 28.

00:01:20.960 I think we talked about that on Monday.

00:01:22.840 If not, it was sometime last week.

00:01:24.260 Before we get into this stuff, there's a couple things I want to say.

00:01:27.760 One, we've got a merch sale going on.

00:01:29.380 If you go to AllieMerch.com, we've got a Memorial Day sale.

00:01:33.660 Use code REMEMBER for 20% off.

00:01:37.200 We've got lots of amazing merch, t-shirts, sweatshirts, bags.

00:01:40.420 Let's see.

00:01:40.700 I've got one bit of merch right here that you can see if you're watching on YouTube.

00:01:45.240 My tote.

00:01:46.200 My politics matter because policies matter because people matter tote that I like to use all the

00:01:51.480 time, but we've got lots of awesome stuff and even some new stuff that's coming down

00:01:55.780 the pipeline.

00:01:56.360 So make sure you check that out, AllieMerch.com, code REMEMBER. 0.86

00:02:00.320 Also, if you love this show, please do us a favor and leave us a five-star review on Apple

00:02:04.380 Podcasts or Spotify, wherever you listen.

00:02:06.920 If you haven't subscribed on YouTube, please do so.

00:02:09.500 We have this beautiful set that if you listen, I'm a listener too.

00:02:12.980 I listen to my podcasts.

00:02:14.000 I never watch them, but you should still subscribe just to see our beautiful, wonderful set that

00:02:19.140 is fairly new and you guys have gotten used to.

00:02:22.040 It was a big change, but you've gotten used to it.

00:02:24.160 Okay.

00:02:24.760 Before we get into this Target stuff, I do just want to talk about like the biggest obvious

00:02:28.820 news, which is that Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, officially announced his candidacy

00:02:36.480 for the president of the United States.

00:02:39.260 So he is running for the Republican nomination.

00:02:43.060 He is now running against Donald Trump.

00:02:45.740 He's running against Tim Scott, who recently announced.

00:02:48.480 He's running against Nikki Haley, who announced a few weeks ago, and Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:02:54.100 So let me just tell you what I think about it.

00:02:57.140 I hate that we're already, first of all, even getting into election politics.

00:03:01.560 I mean, I know it's time.

00:03:02.860 It's time to do that.

00:03:04.520 So I understand.

00:03:06.740 First of all, I just feel like it's gone by so quickly.

00:03:09.380 I can't believe it's been this long since 2016.

00:03:12.360 I feel like 2016 just happened.

00:03:14.240 I definitely feel like 2020 just happened.

00:03:16.620 And the fact that we are gearing up for the 2024 election, it's just wild.

00:03:21.860 It's just wild to me.

00:03:23.320 And I hate that we're already getting into these fights and these battles, especially

00:03:28.700 when it comes to who's going to be the Republican nominee.

00:03:32.180 Now, really, the two people that are running for the nomination are Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis.

00:03:37.620 That's not to say that we can necessarily count anyone else out yet, but just looking at the numbers, looking at the polling and just kind of feeling the sense of where people are.

00:03:50.120 Nikki Haley probably is not going to get the nomination. 0.98

00:03:53.080 Tim Scott seems like a great guy.

00:03:54.780 Don't think he's going to get the nomination.

00:03:56.740 I don't think Vivek will either.

00:03:58.640 I don't think that these guys are real contenders.

00:04:01.620 That doesn't mean that you shouldn't vote for them in the primary.

00:04:04.480 If that's where your convictions lie, I just don't think they really have a chance of getting the Republican nomination.

00:04:10.880 Really, it's between Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump.

00:04:14.680 Here's my assessment.

00:04:15.800 And I know it's going to make people mad.

00:04:17.300 I said yesterday.

00:04:18.620 And look, I'm not trying to be mean by saying this, but it's true.

00:04:21.700 Like, even in my own DMs and in the comments that I get, like, I think that Trump primary voters, I say this as someone who has had Donald Trump on my show.

00:04:30.740 I'm very thankful for a lot of the policies that he put forth.

00:04:33.320 I voted for him in 2016 and 2020.

00:04:36.420 But it seems like the diehard Trump supporters, like the Trump primary voters, are some of the maddest people on the Internet at all times.

00:04:45.080 Like, if you say anything that is even slightly negative about Donald Trump or say, well, I think that this other nominee could do a good job.

00:04:52.200 Or if you just look at the facts of people's records, like, you will get very, very angry and not just, hey, I disagree with you, but, like, some of the angriest and meanest messages and comments I've ever received are from this crowd.

00:05:07.320 Like, I might just share, like, a Ron DeSantis post and I'll get all of these, like, very angry messages from, like, the diehard Trump supporters.

00:05:16.720 And so that's very confusing to me.

00:05:18.260 It also makes me sad because I'm like, we're already in that.

00:05:20.860 We're already doing that again.

00:05:22.760 It's already 2016 again.

00:05:25.360 Like, just take a chill pill, OK?

00:05:27.020 Like, we all want what's better for the country, especially those of us who are all planning to vote for the Republican nominee in 2024.

00:05:34.820 We all want what's best for the country.

00:05:36.700 We all want more secure borders.

00:05:38.320 We all want to drain the proverbial swamp. 0.98

00:05:41.220 We all want better foreign policy.

00:05:42.740 We all want the economy to be improved.

00:05:44.660 We all want safer streets.

00:05:46.060 We all want to save babies' lives, right?

00:05:47.860 Like, we all think and know men are men and women are women.

00:05:51.520 We want to protect women's rights and women's privacy and spaces and all of these things.

00:05:55.780 Like, we are on the same page.

00:05:58.300 And so if you find yourself getting so aggravated when someone just disagrees with you on your stance on Trump, your support of Trump,

00:06:05.540 then it might not actually be Trump's policies or his ideas or the prospect of improving America that you're really for.

00:06:13.320 It might actually be that you are in this kind of cult of personality and you have attached yourself to Trump.

00:06:18.960 And I just want to remind you that no matter who the politician is, like, they will fail us.

00:06:23.680 They will disappoint us.

00:06:25.260 There is no perfect politician.

00:06:26.960 There is no one who is going to ride in on a white horse and single-handedly save the, you know, the Western world or the United States of America.

00:06:38.040 It's just not going to happen.

00:06:39.520 Like, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

00:06:41.620 Don't put all your hope in a person.

00:06:43.620 That's fruitless.

00:06:44.500 And that's actually, I think, what's fostering, like, a lot of your anger.

00:06:47.240 I understand getting angry and having arguments over the issues themselves, but these are finite, fallible, imperfect people who, at the end of the day, don't know us.

00:06:57.500 Like, they don't know you, okay?

00:06:59.440 They are people that we are putting in place to serve the interests and the well-being of the people who voted for them, of the American people, okay?

00:07:07.340 And that's all they are.

00:07:08.360 We need to see them as what they are.

00:07:09.640 Don't elevate them too high.

00:07:10.800 I think that fosters a lot of unnecessary anger, okay?

00:07:14.240 So, like, we might be voting for different people in the primary, but, like, we're on the same team generally.

00:07:20.760 And I just hate how nasty it is already getting.

00:07:23.880 So, if you're going to be like that in my DMs, like, we might just have to have a little block party, okay?

00:07:29.360 We might just have to block you.

00:07:31.000 You might just have to be kicked off, you know, not follow me on Instagram for a little while here because I just think that the contention right now is too much.

00:07:38.780 Now, that doesn't mean that I'm not going to tell you what I think about what's going on.

00:07:42.720 But in my opinions about things, because that's obviously why you listen to this podcast, again, as someone who supported Donald Trump and supported a lot of his policies and is thankful for that, was very thankful that he took the time to come on my show.

00:07:56.860 Here's my honest assessment.

00:07:59.500 I think that Joe Biden is extremely beatable as a candidate.

00:08:02.860 I think he will be the Democrat nominee.

00:08:05.180 He's running again.

00:08:06.220 I think that he is extremely beatable.

00:08:08.820 He's just not strong.

00:08:10.620 I think the only person, one of the only people that can lose to Joe Biden in a general election is Donald Trump.

00:08:18.820 I think he is one of the only people that could lose to Joe Biden.

00:08:23.460 And you know why?

00:08:24.360 Because Joe Biden's tactic last time.

00:08:26.720 Now, I know we can talk about election integrity and all of that.

00:08:30.260 But Joe Biden's tactic last time was to basically sit in his basement and not say anything.

00:08:34.460 And to just be quiet and to allow Donald Trump to run his mouth.

00:08:40.660 And that strategy worked out pretty well for him.

00:08:43.860 That strategy will not work out well against anyone else.

00:08:48.160 It wouldn't work well against a Nikki Haley or a Tim Scott.

00:08:51.320 It's certainly not going to work well against a Ron DeSantis.

00:08:53.680 First of all, because, I mean, he's like twice their age almost.

00:08:59.760 And so it's just going to look bad.

00:09:01.520 If you've got a young person with stamina who is out there talking to the people, gathering crowds, advocating for the things that matter in a way that projects strength and fortitude, that's going to look really good.

00:09:19.080 And really favorable against an old man who has to take his first nap at 9 a.m. 0.99

00:09:25.420 So that alone is going to present a kind of dichotomy to the American people that I think even just like the independent average voter is going to go toward the side of strength and fortitude and perseverance and stamina rather than the guy that can't even string sentences together.

00:09:43.000 But if you've got someone who is in his basement yet seems subdued and quiet and compassionate and empathetic and a unifier, which is absolutely crazy that anyone would think that at this point, I understand.

00:09:56.740 But some people do.

00:09:58.200 And then you've got this guy over here who, unfortunately, a lot of people think says, you know, absolutely ridiculous things and is a bully and is sometimes equally incoherent and only cares about himself and loyalty to him.

00:10:12.180 And not necessarily the moral social issues that you and I do, then people will go towards Joe Biden, the candidate to represent sanity best, the candidate to best represent stability, the candidate to best represent normalcy, a sort of real resurgence of American strength and excellence.

00:10:37.600 The person who comes in and says, you know, I'm going to make things work well again in the United States, that person, I think, in the general election is the one that's going to win at this point, just because of age, because of history, because of persona, personality, just like his inability, I think, to stay on track and to really care about the things that matter.

00:11:02.200 I do not think that Trump can win the general election.

00:11:05.680 I'm not saying that's right.

00:11:07.000 Obviously, I think it would be a wrong choice to pick Biden policy wise.

00:11:10.960 Duh, it's a no brainer.

00:11:12.540 I'm just telling you that that's what I think.

00:11:15.220 And like that is I mean, it's as close to a fact as possible without me being able to objectively prove it.

00:11:24.200 I do not think that Donald Trump can win a general election against Joe Biden.

00:11:27.760 Again, I almost know that Ron DeSantis could.

00:11:32.620 And I think that there are other Republican candidates that could, too.

00:11:36.200 I just don't think the other Republican candidates have a shot at the primary.

00:11:40.460 So I you might not like that.

00:11:43.720 You might not agree with it.

00:11:45.200 I'm telling you it's true.

00:11:46.700 And by the way, even if you're like the only reason that Donald Trump lost in the last election was because of all of the funny business that went on, like even if that's your position, has that been fixed?

00:11:59.440 Have any of those broken mechanisms or corrupt systems been rectified for 2024?

00:12:05.500 And if not, then what makes you think that it's going to be different this time?

00:12:10.580 If you think that Donald Trump poses like such a unique threat to the globalist powers that be, that they are going to stop him no matter what, then what's going to change in 2024?

00:12:22.540 Of course, I also just think that he is not popular enough.

00:12:26.560 He's not popular enough to win the general election.

00:12:29.060 I understand he has a lot of supporters and they're very passionate.

00:12:35.780 I get that.

00:12:36.420 I get that.

00:12:37.500 But when it comes to a general election, I'm just telling you, telling you how it is.

00:12:54.160 All right.

00:12:55.280 Let's talk about Target.

00:12:57.760 Okay, so you've already heard probably some of the stuff that I'm going to talk about, but there have been some developments.

00:13:04.660 And I want to give as much background as possible for those of you who haven't been following this Target saga.

00:13:09.860 I won't back all the way up because I've already talked about a lot of it in a previous episode.

00:13:13.700 So go back and listen to, I think, an episode that we did last week about what Target is selling, their new Pride Month, and just how absolutely depraved and awful it is when it comes to compression tops for girls who want to present themselves as boys and push their breasts down. 0.70

00:13:30.420 When it comes to bathing suits meant for tucking so boys can tuck their genitalia to look more female. 0.99

00:13:37.320 It is so absolutely demonic and disgusting. 0.94

00:13:40.420 But there's been more that's come out about the kind of design partnerships that Target has with some people who are developing some of the products that they're selling.

00:13:49.060 And a couple products that are actually blatantly demonic and satanic, glorifying hell and glorifying Satan and all of that.

00:14:00.400 And then now, as we will get into, Target has actually had to issue a statement because of the backlash to all of this.

00:14:07.640 So as part of the 2023 Pride Collection, Target created a partnership with someone named Eric Carnell, creator of Eprolin, an LGBTQ company based in London.

00:14:21.080 Now, I'll put up some products that's being sold that are being sold at Target.

00:14:26.360 A fanny pack that says, we belong everywhere with the trans flag, too queer for here with a little UFO, and then a sweatshirt that we talked about last week. 0.96

00:14:36.360 It says, cure transphobia, not trans people. 0.71

00:14:41.060 And again, just a little bit of a question of what that means.

00:14:44.560 It seems like a little bit of a veiled threat.

00:14:46.920 I will say, I mean, they're cute designs.

00:14:48.860 I can totally see why they're popular.

00:14:50.600 Just based on the aesthetic alone, I understand why Target partnered with this person.

00:14:56.540 Very cute.

00:14:57.380 This person is obviously very artistic, very talented.

00:15:00.120 I see why the designs themselves are popular.

00:15:02.820 This kind of retro look is very in right now.

00:15:06.360 As I've always said, I think it's very strange, though, the use of baby colors, the use of pastels in these products.

00:15:13.420 Not that adults can't wear pastels, but the juxtaposition of the baby blues and the baby pinks, I think, is made to look very infant-like.

00:15:21.180 And if you go back to the history, as we've talked about many times, of the trans flag that was created by a man who identified as a woman, or still does, named Monica Helm.

00:15:31.580 And the literature that this man wrote actually glorifying pedophilia, glorifying the idea of being trapped in a little six-year-old girl's body, that's who created the trans flag, this baby blue and baby pink, these baby colors, I think is very strange.

00:15:48.140 So that in and of itself, any glorification of the trans flag, any inclusion of the trans flag, knowing its history, and that it just represents this absolutely depraved and deceptive idea that you can actually switch your genders, that in and of itself is radical. 0.92

00:16:04.040 But it doesn't just stop there.

00:16:06.260 There were people who decided to dig into the designer of these shirts, and they saw that this person is extremely, extremely violent in their rhetoric.

00:16:18.640 And also, I don't know, by the way, if this is a male or a female, so I just don't know.

00:16:24.000 You guys know I use biological pronouns.

00:16:25.720 But the designs are very, very violent, not the ones being sold by Target, but the other designs on this person's website.

00:16:36.840 And then there are also posts where this person says that they are a Satanist and that they love Satan.

00:16:45.960 So let me go through some of those designs.

00:16:49.400 So here's one that says, burn down the system, C-I-S-T-E-M, and it's a little lighter. 0.60

00:16:58.940 And of course, what that means, cis, is you are the gender that you were born as. 0.73

00:17:05.140 It's another totally nonsensical term that was created by very depraved and confused people in the 1960s and 70s.

00:17:13.180 And then there's one that's a guillotine.

00:17:15.180 So you know what a guillotine is? 0.98

00:17:16.620 Chops off your head. 0.99

00:17:17.460 And it says, homophobe headrest, all right? 0.91

00:17:20.620 And then there's a design that kind of everyone had been circulating on social media.

00:17:25.320 It comes in a T-shirt, and it also comes in a little, like, sticker or a pin.

00:17:29.400 And it says, Satan respects pronouns. 0.76

00:17:32.640 And here's the caption.

00:17:33.960 Here's the caption under this particular design that this person put on Instagram.

00:17:39.960 One of my favorite and most popular designs, and the one that gave a prelin its proper footing and direction, 1.00

00:17:46.380 coming up with this phrase really helped make a prelin what it is today.

00:17:50.140 Satan loves you and respects who you are.

00:17:52.300 You're important and valuable in this world, and you deserve to treat yourself with love and respect.

00:17:56.020 LGBT plus people are so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God's will, so fine. 1.00

00:18:01.380 Well, hang with Satan instead. 0.59

00:18:03.160 Satanists don't actually believe in Satan.

00:18:04.820 He is really used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty.

00:18:07.960 He means to you what you need him to mean.

00:18:10.440 So for me, Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love.

00:18:13.300 So naturally, Satan respects pronouns. 0.99

00:18:15.140 He loves all LGBT plus people.

00:18:17.360 I went with a variation of Baphomet, which has long been a satanic symbol, satanic creature for centuries for this design.

00:18:28.480 A deity who himself is a mixture of genders, beings, ideas, and existences.

00:18:31.920 They reject binary stereotypes and expectations.

00:18:35.320 Perfect.

00:18:35.560 Which is actually true.

00:18:37.240 This symbol of Satan, this depiction of Satan that has existed for a long time, is gender bending. 0.53

00:18:42.500 That is not a coincidence.

00:18:44.180 There's not a coincidence that there is a crossover here, a very significant crossover between the demonic, between the satanic, and transgenderism. 0.97

00:18:50.640 Because this statement, even though this person doesn't realize it, is absolutely true.

00:18:54.640 Satan does respect pronouns in the sense that, yes, he would absolutely call someone they.

00:18:59.980 Actually, we can read the interaction between the demon-possessed person that was wandering among the tombstones in Jesus, in the book of Mark in particular.

00:19:11.960 And this person was possessed by a legion of demons.

00:19:15.840 And so thousands and thousands of demons.

00:19:17.780 And because he was indwelled by all of these demons, he is referred to as they.

00:19:26.000 The demons are referred to as they.

00:19:28.080 And so we know that this idea of confusion, of chaos, is something that Satan would absolutely advocate for.

00:19:39.000 He is the author of confusion.

00:19:41.280 He loves chaos.

00:19:42.520 He loves anarchy.

00:19:43.700 He loves for you to reject the body that God gave you because he hates you.

00:19:49.380 I know this person doesn't actually believe in the real Satan and so thinks that Satan represents love.

00:19:55.780 That's actually the greatest trick that the devil can play on you, is convincing you that he doesn't really exist.

00:20:01.260 He doesn't really care whether you really believe that he exists.

00:20:04.640 He doesn't really care if you really believe in hell.

00:20:07.280 He doesn't really care how you depict him.

00:20:09.000 As long as you are worshiping someone other than the creator, as long as you are accomplishing his purposes, he doesn't really care what your belief system is.

00:20:18.280 And this person has stated something that is actually very theologically true.

00:20:23.020 That Satan would absolutely call someone by the pronouns that do not correspond with their biology.

00:20:30.420 Because Satan loves confusion.

00:20:32.460 He hates the image of God.

00:20:34.140 He hates the gender binary because God created it. 1.00

00:20:38.960 And in the beginning, God called it very good.

00:20:42.000 So he loves the gender confusion. 0.88

00:20:44.000 He loves the perversion and the depravity and the sickness and the sorrow and the sadness and the body mutilation that comes from all of it.

00:20:52.080 So this person is at least extremely intuitive in understanding what side they're on.

00:20:57.500 And Target has made the conscious decision to partner with a person that is an open Satanist and who is pushing these kinds of demonic and destructive ideas.

00:21:09.520 It's not like they didn't know.

00:21:11.540 There are also a lot of depictions of death in this person's artwork.

00:21:14.720 There is one particular picture of like a bigger skeleton passing on a flame in the colors of a transgender flag to a smaller skeleton says the fires of today's trans adults will light the way for tomorrows. 0.99

00:21:29.000 And so, again, talking about children may mean their bodies, denying the body, the identity that God gave them.

00:21:37.400 Other stickers, heteronormativity is a plague.

00:21:41.820 Time's up for the transphobes.

00:21:43.400 So there's a lot of threats here.

00:21:45.040 And then there's another sticker that has a weapon on it.

00:21:50.360 You know, like one of those.

00:21:51.400 It has like a handle, almost like a nunchuck and the chain and then the ball at the end with the spikes, which is obviously deadly.

00:22:00.100 And then on it says, we bash back.

00:22:02.080 And so there are a lot of threats of violence, which is very unfortunately normal for this activist community.

00:22:07.180 We've seen this a lot, especially over the past year or so.

00:22:10.640 And a lot of it has to just do with the inherent mental instability that's going on here.

00:22:15.820 A lot of it has to do with godlessness.

00:22:17.400 A lot of it has to do with following Satan. 0.92

00:22:19.360 Of course, he hates you.

00:22:21.080 He hates everyone around you. 1.00

00:22:22.500 He loves murder. 0.99

00:22:23.800 He loves destruction.

00:22:25.200 He loves this division.

00:22:26.360 And so, of course, he is going to encourage his followers, the people that follow him and adhere to him.

00:22:34.500 Of course, he's going to encourage them to be violent and to be murderous, both unfortunately against themselves.

00:22:40.580 The suicide rates among people who identify as trans show that, but then also violent towards other people. 1.00

00:22:48.060 Now, Target has responded to the backlash here because this was just all like a little too far for people.

00:22:53.060 You can imagine, okay, rainbows, whatever.

00:22:56.700 Some people were just, you know, like Christians like me, of course, we're for traditional marriage.

00:23:01.220 We're against all of that, all of the sexual revolution, anything besides sex between one man and one woman in the context of marriage we are against.

00:23:10.980 But it's like, okay, you got a few rainbows in the back.

00:23:13.800 No one really cares.

00:23:14.900 You can easily explain it to your child by explaining the Noahic covenant if you want to.

00:23:20.500 But this, the tucking, the chest binding, the transgender flag onesies, the partnering with an open Satanist, it was too much for people. 0.86

00:23:28.980 And it's caused massive backlash and massive anger on social media.

00:23:33.420 And on the heels of the Bud Light boycott, I think a lot of conservatives, a lot of Christians, a lot of people just anti this stuff have said, ooh, we can actually make a difference because Bud Light is actually still suffering.

00:23:45.200 They're still suffering from the Bud Light boycott after they hoisted up Dylan Mulvaney as some kind of hero.

00:23:50.900 And so I think that there is some, there's some motivation.

00:23:55.320 There's some momentum, I should say, from conservatives to be like, yeah, we're going to do the same thing to Target.

00:24:02.120 So I'll get into Target's response in just a second.

00:24:04.220 Okay, so as I said, Target, after all of this backlash, so many people talking about this on social media, so many people saying that they're going to boycott.

00:24:24.760 But as I said, I started boycotting a year ago, a lot of you joined me then, a lot of people just now are being like, wow, this is really bad.

00:24:33.120 And they're boycotting now.

00:24:34.460 Some of you also started boycotting like 10 years ago when they said that they were going to allow men and women's bathrooms.

00:24:40.060 And so I certainly wasn't the first one to do it.

00:24:42.500 But now I think this is like the year that people are saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, when in the world did this happen?

00:24:49.800 You're pushing bodily mutilation on our kids.

00:24:52.280 No, thank you.

00:24:53.080 I can't even walk into a Target without explaining all of this stuff to my kids.

00:24:56.920 So this is when it's gone too far, the Satan stuff too far.

00:25:00.220 So on Wednesday, last week, Target released a statement or yesterday, alleging that the reason it was pulling products and making adjustments to their pride collection plans was due to threats they've received and a concern for team member safety.

00:25:14.340 And so they started apparently in Southern stores either taking down their pride segments or moving it to the back or diminishing it.

00:25:21.400 They're they're pulling some of these products and they're not going to sell it anymore because of the backlash.

00:25:26.820 And they're claiming there have been violent threats against their employees, which obviously is wrong.

00:25:31.700 You shouldn't be threatening their employees if that's something that's happening.

00:25:34.860 But the thing is, I don't know that that's happening.

00:25:37.120 This is something that Target's saying.

00:25:38.460 They're presenting themselves as victims.

00:25:40.800 The media is very good at this.

00:25:42.560 Target is very good at this.

00:25:44.760 Those hospitals that were performing the bodily mutilation surgeries in the name of gender affirmation on children, they claim to be the victims when really the ones they are the ones victimizing.

00:25:55.020 So Target is really kind of doing the same thing here.

00:25:57.440 So I don't know if the allegation is true that anyone has called in and threatened people.

00:26:02.060 If that is true, obviously it's wrong.

00:26:03.980 These employees, these managers don't have any say in the products that are being sold or even where they're set up.

00:26:10.060 So there's really no point.

00:26:11.400 It's totally irrational and immoral to threaten or make the staff there feel uncomfortable.

00:26:16.380 It's the corporation that is making these decisions.

00:26:18.720 It's Target corporate.

00:26:19.640 And they held an emergency call last Friday telling some managers and district senior directors to tamp down the pride sections immediately. 1.00

00:26:29.980 They're just too much.

00:26:30.980 An insider reported that they were given 36 hours to move the entire pride section from the front of the store to a section that was a third the size in the back of the store.

00:26:41.320 And here's something.

00:26:42.360 Here's what Target said in this statement.

00:26:43.640 For more than a decade, Target has offered an assortment of products aimed at celebrating Pride Month.

00:26:47.680 Since introducing this year's collection, we've experienced threats impacting our team members' sense of safety.

00:26:52.140 So not actual safety, but sense of safety.

00:26:54.800 Again, not sure if that's true, but that's what they're alleging.

00:26:57.260 And well-being while at work.

00:26:58.800 Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.

00:27:06.320 Our focus now is on moving forward with our continuing commitment to the LGBTQIA plus community and standing with them as we celebrate Pride Month and throughout the year.

00:27:16.120 So obviously there's no apology there.

00:27:17.780 They're not like sad or sorry that they partnered with an open Satanist.

00:27:22.120 They don't wish that they hadn't gone so far.

00:27:25.140 Like they're not apologizing for encouraging body mutilation of kids or hiding, you know, hiding genitalia.

00:27:32.600 It's not like they're repentant here or anything like that.

00:27:36.100 Apparently they are also re-looking at this partnership with the open Satanist and this person's products.

00:27:43.900 So this company issued a statement on their Instagram saying,

00:27:48.200 Going forward, I do not know if Target will begin selling the three items I designed for them again or if the unjust backlash is not worth the risk of supporting the LGBT plus community.

00:27:57.340 I hope that none of Target's retail employees are the victims of further threats and that none of them come to any harm.

00:28:02.080 As for my Target Pride collection, I will hopefully know more in the next few days.

00:28:04.920 Until then, I cannot update you with information I do not have.

00:28:08.000 If you wish to support me, you can do so through my website or Etsy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:28:11.780 So, um, Gavin Newsom also criticized Target.

00:28:16.000 My thought is because of all this, Target is going to fold.

00:28:18.460 They're going to re-double down and I'll tell you a little bit more about why in a second.

00:28:23.100 But Gavin Newsom said this, CEO of Target, Brian Cornell, selling out the LGBTQ plus community to extremists is a real profile in courage.

00:28:33.720 Sarcasm, obviously.

00:28:35.000 This isn't just a couple stores in the South.

00:28:36.740 There's a systemic attack on the gay community happening across the country.

00:28:41.820 Wake up, America.

00:28:42.740 This doesn't stop here. 1.00

00:28:43.660 You're black. 1.00

00:28:44.280 You're Asian. 0.99

00:28:44.860 You're Jewish. 0.75

00:28:45.440 You're a woman.

00:28:46.100 You're next.

00:28:48.140 Yeah.

00:28:48.580 Target's going to take down their Asian pride collection that they have every year.

00:28:53.100 They're going to stop selling the the yarmulkes that they've been putting front and center.

00:28:58.380 Yeah, that's what's happening. 0.97

00:29:00.060 This is so silly.

00:29:01.520 I'm sorry that people didn't like that you were selling tucking bathing suits. 0.96

00:29:06.740 That means that all of a sudden people are going to start not liking Asians.

00:29:10.260 We don't want to talk about who commits crimes against Asians.

00:29:13.520 Gavin Newsom in your state in San Francisco.

00:29:16.320 You want to look at the racial crime data on that?

00:29:19.280 It's not the right wingers who are mad about pushing transgenderism on kids.

00:29:23.600 I can tell you that much. 1.00

00:29:25.360 This is so ridiculously silly. 0.97

00:29:27.320 By the way, I wonder what his future political plans are. 0.86

00:29:33.200 So someone posted a picture of the former pride segment at a Target and moved it to the back.

00:29:44.060 And apparently this is happening in places like South Carolina, Arkansas, and Georgia.

00:29:48.280 I saw someone say it also happened at their Target in Tennessee.

00:29:53.320 And so I guess it is making a difference.

00:29:57.380 It is making a difference.

00:29:58.660 And don't take this, though, as an apology.

00:30:03.440 Like, don't think that you've won.

00:30:05.620 This is not a victory, conservatives.

00:30:07.440 We're not, it's not even close to a victory.

00:30:11.780 Do not think because they've made these changes and they've issued a statement and they've heard your voices that that's enough and that you can move on and you can go back to Target.

00:30:22.600 No, no, no, no, no.

00:30:24.180 You need to make it, make them feel it.

00:30:26.940 You need to ensure that your money does not go to Target.

00:30:31.940 I'm asking at least for the month of June.

00:30:35.580 Now, some people will scoff at that and say, wow, you really can't give up Target.

00:30:39.620 Look, I know a lot of you depend on Target, okay?

00:30:41.840 So I'm trying to be realistic with those of you who do depend on Target for your necessities.

00:30:46.260 I promise you that you can go somewhere else for the month of June.

00:30:51.560 I promise you.

00:30:53.980 I got a list from y'all of various places that you can shop at besides Target.

00:31:01.940 And the reason why I haven't said them yet or why I'm not going to say all of them on this podcast is because I just didn't have time to research them.

00:31:09.900 Some of the things that were suggested, some of the stores that were suggested as alternatives to Target are actually like probably just as woke themselves.

00:31:17.860 So I didn't think that was good.

00:31:19.200 So I need to take time to research them.

00:31:20.940 But look, I would say the biggest thing is try to shop small, try to shop secondhand, try to go directly to the website of the product that you typically buy from Target.

00:31:35.980 Go to your local grocer, go to grocery stores.

00:31:39.520 And look, I'm not saying that it's going to be easy to let go of Target.

00:31:43.400 I'm not saying that.

00:31:44.480 It takes more effort.

00:31:45.600 But consider, and look, I understand too, that we are kind of addicted to the one-stop shop.

00:31:52.000 We want to be able to go somewhere to get our groceries, to get our home decor, and to get our baby items and all of that.

00:32:00.360 I totally understand that.

00:32:02.280 It is very convenient.

00:32:03.360 That's like a beautiful development of the 21st century.

00:32:07.860 But it's not worth it.

00:32:09.680 It's not worth supporting this company.

00:32:12.720 I'm not saying that you have to boycott every single company that doesn't align with all of your values, although that would be great.

00:32:19.780 I don't.

00:32:20.640 There are still some places that I go sometimes that I know don't align with my values.

00:32:25.260 Target was just too much for me.

00:32:26.600 I was spending too much money there.

00:32:27.800 They're too opposed to the things that I believe in.

00:32:30.240 So try to shop directly at places.

00:32:32.720 Try to shop small.

00:32:34.020 I do recommend Public Square, the Public SQ app.

00:32:37.340 It's spelled Public SQ, but you say Public Square.

00:32:40.560 And just put in your location and all of these places will come up close to you that align with your values.

00:32:46.800 Go ahead and go to their Instagram page.

00:32:50.400 They are constantly advertising different companies, whether it's for baby items, whether it's for women's clothing.

00:32:57.140 I even saw for like toilet paper and things like that.

00:33:01.160 There are alternatives.

00:33:02.560 There's also an account, Vote With Your Dollar Mama, I think is the name of the account.

00:33:06.860 She is constantly posting different alternatives to these woke companies.

00:33:11.500 And so there are resources out there that I would recommend that you go to.

00:33:15.820 But ladies, women, girls, moms, it is possible for the month of June at the very least to boycott Target.

00:33:24.960 Let's make them feel it.

00:33:26.560 Bud Light is still feeling the boycott.

00:33:28.700 Like that's actually more than I thought would happen with the Bud Light boycott.

00:33:33.000 I honestly thought that things would kind of spring back quickly and that they wouldn't really care because they care more about their shareholders who are all progressive than they do their customer base.

00:33:44.180 But apparently Bud Light is really struggling after hoisting up Dylan Mulvaney.

00:33:48.640 Target, I think, is really going to struggle too.

00:33:51.220 Now, we know who the shareholders in Target are.

00:33:55.220 Glenn talked about that this morning on his show.

00:33:58.540 I was on Glenn's this morning.

00:34:00.320 It's the tip.

00:34:01.040 It's BlackRock.

00:34:02.140 It's State Street.

00:34:04.220 It's Vanguard.

00:34:05.400 It's all of these huge, woke, global companies that push ESG, that push the left-wing agenda in the United States.

00:34:14.720 Our corporations are owned by them.

00:34:16.480 So Target, a lot of these other corporations, they care more about their shareholders than they do their actual customers.

00:34:25.380 But, I mean, eventually, eventually something's got to give.

00:34:31.920 You can't not have your customer base.

00:34:34.540 And look, we women, we moms, we suburban women, suburban moms, and especially even like I think Christian conservative moms,

00:34:41.600 like we are the Target customer base for Target.

00:34:46.660 We are hoisting them up.

00:34:48.780 We are the ones who buy Magnolia.

00:34:50.620 We are the ones who go there to buy the Honest Diapers.

00:34:53.600 We are the ones who go there for the maternity items. 0.90

00:34:57.340 Like we do make or break Target.

00:35:01.120 And so use that power.

00:35:03.180 Vote with your dollar, at least for the month of June, women. 1.00

00:35:07.560 Give up Target.

00:35:08.340 I think you can do it for a lot longer than that.

00:35:10.500 It's a little less convenient, but it's worth it.

00:35:13.340 I realized how much I did not need when I stopped going to Target.

00:35:17.240 All those Target runs where you go in and you say that you need one thing and then you end up spending $500 that you didn't need to spend.

00:35:25.460 It's going to be good for your budget.

00:35:27.720 Let's save some money this summer, ladies. 1.00

00:35:30.240 Let's save some money.

00:35:31.760 That's a good thing, right?

00:35:33.300 I mean, this is like a win-win scenario.

00:35:35.140 For the month of June, women, stop shopping at Target. 1.00

00:35:40.720 Then after that, you can reassess.

00:35:43.360 I bet that you can keep going.

00:35:45.320 I bet that you can say, okay, one more week.

00:35:47.460 One more week after that.

00:35:48.540 Before you know it, you'll be like me.

00:35:49.840 It'll be a year and you don't even miss it.

00:35:52.160 I have not walked into a Target.

00:35:53.780 I have not ordered anything from Target.

00:35:56.060 Again, I'm certainly not perfect in this arena by any means.

00:35:58.920 This was just the one for me.

00:36:00.920 And you can do it too.

00:36:03.120 Make it hurt financially for them.

00:36:04.880 There's more in this.

00:36:08.020 Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor before I get into it.

00:36:11.400 Because I have a specific call to action for you as well.

00:36:14.980 All right.

00:36:27.840 So I just wanted to say one more thing because about the whole satanic thing, I forgot to

00:36:32.100 mention this, that they also have a satanic drag queen shirt that I saw online as recently

00:36:39.920 as a couple days ago.

00:36:41.000 Apparently, they've changed the title of this shirt now, but we'll put up a picture.

00:36:45.560 Pride adult drag queen Bible girl 666 short sleeve t-shirt in gray. 0.52

00:36:53.280 It's a very kind of confusing shirt.

00:36:55.560 It's supposed to look like the cover of a magazine.

00:36:57.980 And then it's got this man, I guess, identifying as a woman on the front.

00:37:01.740 It says Bible girl quits drag. 0.99

00:37:04.160 This is just another example of the hatred of Christianity, of mocking Christianity, something 0.97

00:37:09.420 that you can't do.

00:37:11.000 And get away with it when it comes to Islam or when it comes to Judaism, at least mainstream. 0.95

00:37:17.640 You can't do that without getting a lot of pushback from civil rights organizations, human

00:37:28.140 rights organizations.

00:37:30.220 But you can do that.

00:37:31.480 You can do that for Christianity. 0.81

00:37:32.960 We're also seeing that with the L.A.

00:37:34.480 Dodgers. 0.56

00:37:35.000 They are inviting and awarding the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, that is a drag group 1.00

00:37:42.260 that is mocking Catholicism.

00:37:44.380 There was this awful, awful video going around of these drag queens performing. 0.99

00:37:49.760 And one of them was dressed up to look like Jesus.

00:37:51.920 And he was hanging on a cross.

00:37:53.640 Okay.

00:37:53.880 And then there were these other men dressed as women, dancing in very sexual ways.

00:38:00.620 I will not show it.

00:38:03.760 I could not retweet it.

00:38:05.560 I saw a lot of people retweeting it.

00:38:06.980 I understand why.

00:38:08.060 Because you want proof that this is really happening to show people what's really, I

00:38:13.040 just cannot do it.

00:38:14.760 Really, the first thing that comes to mind is forgive them, Father, for they know not

00:38:19.100 what they do.

00:38:20.920 They don't.

00:38:21.580 They don't fully know what they do.

00:38:24.280 Their minds have been given over.

00:38:26.140 That doesn't mean they won't be held responsible for it.

00:38:28.020 Because we also read in Scripture that God will not be mocked.

00:38:32.480 Whatever one sows, he also reaps.

00:38:35.980 There will be consequences for this.

00:38:38.200 One day God will do away with evil forever.

00:38:40.460 We read that in Psalm 37.

00:38:42.640 Yes, the L.A. Dodgers is, they're platforming these people.

00:38:46.240 They're rewarding these people.

00:38:48.040 They initially decided to disinvite them from their pride night, but now they've invited 1.00

00:38:52.180 them back.

00:38:52.860 They've apologized for originally disinviting them.

00:38:55.040 The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence that make a mockery of Christianity in all of their 0.99

00:39:00.300 performances.

00:39:01.040 This is celebrated.

00:39:02.040 This is fine.

00:39:03.280 We shouldn't worry about this.

00:39:05.280 If we freak out about it, if we're offended by it, we make a big deal.

00:39:07.900 I would love to see the reaction if a group like this made fun of, I don't know, Muhammad

00:39:12.500 in the same way.

00:39:13.960 What would happen?

00:39:15.340 I think that we probably all know.

00:39:18.520 All right.

00:39:19.440 So this kind of stuff, it's a trend right now.

00:39:22.120 It's being pushed by Target, which is patronized largely by Christian women, which is, again, 0.99

00:39:28.140 why we should turn our backs on them completely.

00:39:31.500 And why I think that Chip and Joanna Gaines need to be talking about it.

00:39:37.320 They need to make a statement.

00:39:38.620 And I might not say that.

00:39:42.400 I might not say that if they didn't also say things in the past about political issues

00:39:51.620 or about culture war issues.

00:39:53.760 I mean, they did the, quote unquote, uncomfortable conversations with a black man after the George

00:39:58.360 Floyd thing.

00:39:59.340 They issued their statements about that.

00:40:01.580 They have something to say about alleged racism and white supremacy and all of that.

00:40:06.800 But when it comes to this, I haven't seen them make a statement at all.

00:40:12.220 Again, we are talking about transing kids.

00:40:14.480 Okay.

00:40:14.660 We're not just talking about a few rainbows.

00:40:16.280 We're not just talking about love is love.

00:40:18.500 Like we're not, we're not talking about that.

00:40:20.500 We're talking about something really evil and demonic and promoting someone who promotes

00:40:24.940 Satanism.

00:40:26.440 Okay.

00:40:26.980 And if you're a Christian who very overtly, very prominently partners with the entity Target 0.60

00:40:34.060 that is promoting this kind of demonic stuff, you don't feel any burden to say anything.

00:40:38.940 I mean, maybe they can't quit their contract.

00:40:42.000 Maybe they can't get out of it.

00:40:43.160 There's always things going on behind the scenes that we don't know.

00:40:45.940 I totally understand that.

00:40:47.540 I do.

00:40:48.400 And I'm not saying, you know, I can't judge their heart.

00:40:51.720 I'm not judging the state of their soul.

00:40:54.160 But I think that they should absolutely be standing up and saying something.

00:40:58.120 I personally think that it would be an amazing business decision, not just to make a statement,

00:41:03.800 but also to pull their stuff from Target and to say, no, I would personally go.

00:41:10.820 I would go to Waco and I would buy their stuff.

00:41:16.660 If they stood strong on this and said, you know what?

00:41:19.260 No, this is too far.

00:41:21.420 We can't support something like this.

00:41:23.580 We care about children.

00:41:24.840 We care about family and we know that our good God, who is the ruler of the heavens and

00:41:30.280 the earth, made them male and female.

00:41:32.820 And we can only affirm that.

00:41:37.140 And so we cannot partner with an entity now that is promoting this stuff that is this dark

00:41:43.880 and this depraved.

00:41:44.860 I would respect that so much.

00:41:47.780 I don't think that that's going to happen.

00:41:50.520 As many of you have also pointed out to me,

00:41:53.880 I don't think that's, I don't think that's going to happen, but I think that you should

00:41:58.340 reach out to Chip and Joanna.

00:41:59.760 I think you should raise a very respectful ruckus about this.

00:42:03.120 I think you should go to Magnolia's website.

00:42:05.400 I think you should contact them.

00:42:07.500 And I think that you should email them.

00:42:09.620 I think that you should call them, their customer service line, in a very respectful,

00:42:13.900 a very calm way.

00:42:15.200 And look, you can appeal to their Christian faith.

00:42:17.560 You can't do that with Target.

00:42:18.860 You can't do that with everyone because not everyone espouses Christian values, but they very 0.99

00:42:22.520 publicly do.

00:42:24.440 And so, again, we're talking about the well-being of children here.

00:42:28.560 We're talking about really, really deep, dark stuff.

00:42:32.560 It should be easy.

00:42:34.260 It should be really easy for the Christian to stand up against this and to use their power

00:42:40.220 and their influence to stand up for what is right and what is true.

00:42:44.560 We should be encouraging them to do that.

00:42:46.940 I mean, honestly, think about it.

00:42:48.360 If Target were selling things that people saw as racist or they partnered with someone

00:42:54.860 who, it turns out, when you went to their Instagram, they were an open white supremacist. 0.97

00:42:59.680 They were a Nazi. 0.90

00:43:00.520 And everyone was bombarding Chip and Joanna with emails and comments and calls saying,

00:43:06.640 you need to say something about this.

00:43:08.060 You need to stand up against racism.

00:43:09.960 You need to stand up for justice.

00:43:11.520 You really think that they would remain silent on that?

00:43:14.300 I highly doubt it.

00:43:16.280 I highly doubt it.

00:43:18.480 But they're remaining silent thus far.

00:43:20.880 I, again, don't think that every public figure needs to comment on every culture war issue

00:43:29.320 or every political thing or every news story.

00:43:33.540 I don't think that they're responsible to do that.

00:43:35.960 I don't think they have to.

00:43:36.780 I don't think they should because most of the time they don't even know what they're

00:43:39.180 talking about.

00:43:39.740 So it's better to remain quiet.

00:43:41.660 But we're talking about Genesis 1 issue here.

00:43:44.340 We're talking about kids' bodies, their minds.

00:43:46.540 We're talking about Satan-authored chaos that is being pushed by the entity that you

00:43:51.360 are openly partnering with and promoting.

00:43:53.720 Like, that's a bigger deal, right?

00:43:57.440 So I think that you should raise a very respectful ruckus to Magnolia and say, what's the deal? 0.84

00:44:02.340 What's the deal with this partnership?

00:44:03.900 Are they going to say anything?

00:44:04.960 I would really encourage you to do that.

00:44:06.760 And I would really encourage them.

00:44:08.080 I would really encourage them to say something about that.

00:44:12.780 All right.

00:44:13.460 That's all I've got on the rest of the Target stuff.

00:44:16.540 Again, just want to encourage you that now is not the time to back down.

00:44:19.920 Now is the time to double down on that.

00:44:21.980 Now is the time to double down and to make sure that your voice is heard.

00:44:26.660 And you're going to be gaslit.

00:44:28.740 You're going to be accused of being a part of some kind of like violent extremist group

00:44:33.980 because of your beliefs here.

00:44:36.440 That's par for the course, okay?

00:44:38.900 That's normal.

00:44:39.700 These are the people that are butchering children, both in the womb and then out of the womb

00:44:44.420 when they claim that they're gender confused, okay?

00:44:47.120 Like these are people who are openly following Satan.

00:44:50.000 Of course, they're going to hate you.

00:44:52.140 Of course, they are.

00:44:53.800 Of course, they're going to call you names.

00:44:55.300 Of course, they're going to lie about you.

00:44:57.920 They have to.

00:44:59.300 They follow the father of lies.

00:45:01.820 He doesn't tell the truth.

00:45:03.140 His followers don't know how to tell the truth.

00:45:05.560 All they do is breathe in and out lies.

00:45:07.820 I'm not talking about everyone who is on the left.

00:45:10.360 I'm not talking about everyone who is social justice oriented.

00:45:13.380 I'm not talking about everyone who identifies as gay or who thinks that they're the opposite

00:45:18.000 sex.

00:45:19.360 I'm not talking about everyone there.

00:45:21.240 I'm talking about this activist group, the people pushing this stuff.

00:45:25.040 I'm talking about Target, the people glorifying this and then lying about those who oppose

00:45:31.060 it.

00:45:31.460 Yes.

00:45:32.520 Yes.

00:45:33.300 The entire thing, though, whether you are complicit in the name of compassion or whether you are

00:45:39.320 active in it, like the entire thing is satanic, the entire thing is evil.

00:45:45.740 And like, this should be really, really simple for us to stand up against.

00:45:49.320 Guys, the trials are only going to get worse.

00:45:52.220 The heat is only going to get hotter.

00:45:53.940 It's only going to become more difficult and require more sacrifice to be a Christian.

00:45:59.300 Like, this is a very small.

00:46:02.600 It's like that meme that you see.

00:46:04.980 It's like, oh, God, why do you give me your hardest test?

00:46:09.500 And then Jesus comes back and he's like, I literally give you my easiest test.

00:46:15.060 Just don't go to Target for 30 days.

00:46:17.940 You can do it.

00:46:19.180 You can do it.

00:46:19.900 There are bigger sacrifices that we will have to make.

00:46:22.180 There are bigger sacrifices that you've made, by the way.

00:46:24.720 So I know that you can do this.

00:46:26.140 I know that my audience can do this.

00:46:29.040 One positive thing, just speaking of like the amazing things that you guys do when we

00:46:33.880 rally together, we really make a positive difference.

00:46:36.360 I was sent this morning some pictures from the pregnancy center that I posted about the

00:46:40.020 other day.

00:46:41.780 And just boxes upon boxes, boxes upon boxes.

00:46:47.240 And I will make sure that these pictures go up on YouTube of diapers, of baby items, of

00:46:53.520 shampoo, of formula, of bottles, of cribs, of carriers, of wipes, of Jesus storybook

00:47:00.700 Bibles, all kinds of things that were donated from you guys to this pregnancy center.

00:47:06.740 I mean, we're talking about hundreds of lives that are going to be positively affected because

00:47:10.640 of your generosity.

00:47:11.960 All I did was post the link.

00:47:13.920 They sent me the link.

00:47:14.740 They said, Allie, like we're in desperate need of all of these items.

00:47:18.340 Can you please post our registry link so people can donate things?

00:47:24.040 And so I did.

00:47:25.420 I posted it.

00:47:26.480 I posted it on Twitter.

00:47:27.400 I posted it on Instagram once.

00:47:28.780 And you guys are just so eager to help.

00:47:30.820 And this is what Christians do every day, by the way.

00:47:33.680 Like Christians quietly, without any recognition and in the midst of all of the lies that are

00:47:38.740 told about Christianity, this is what Christians do.

00:47:41.380 They show up for people.

00:47:42.700 They show up for the most vulnerable.

00:47:44.340 They are ambassadors of what is beautiful and good and lovely and excellent and true.

00:47:49.020 Going out of their way to ensure that people are taken care of, not just the people who

00:47:53.500 are donating, but also the people that show up at these pregnancy centers for no thanks,

00:47:57.320 for virtually no money, sometimes literally no money, just helping moms and dads in crisis

00:48:03.200 and their babies.

00:48:04.480 And these like physical resources really, really matter.

00:48:08.240 They can make or break someone's decision, a woman's decision to keep her child. 0.99

00:48:12.360 And so just thank you for your generosity.

00:48:15.060 This is not the first time this has happened.

00:48:17.320 There have been several times where pregnancy centers have reached out to me and said, will

00:48:20.900 you, we created this registry.

00:48:22.520 Will you please post it so people can donate?

00:48:24.900 And then you have.

00:48:25.960 So thank you so much for stepping up.

00:48:28.020 And I've told this story before, but in the past, we've donated, we've done this for a

00:48:32.980 pregnancy center.

00:48:33.680 And actually the pregnancy center staff had a conversation with the Amazon driver.

00:48:39.620 And I know Amazon's not great either, but this is such a redemptive way to use, to use

00:48:46.020 a company like Amazon is, you know, helping moms in need through it.

00:48:51.400 And this is too, the Amazon driver showed up and was like, what in the world?

00:48:55.080 Like I have so many boxes, so many deliveries for this pregnancy center.

00:48:59.500 What is this?

00:49:00.640 And they had a conversation with him at this pregnancy center and shared the gospel.

00:49:03.960 And right there, Christ saved him right there in the parking lot because of your generosity,

00:49:09.580 because you clicked a button and you donated diapers.

00:49:12.720 God had already orchestrated like before you had even done that, that this particular guy

00:49:17.860 whose heart that he had probably already been working on would show up that day.

00:49:22.300 Those staff members would be there at the pregnancy center. 0.54

00:49:24.760 He ordained this conversation and he saved him.

00:49:28.280 Wow.

00:49:28.640 That is what God is doing at all times.

00:49:30.180 So we see like this evil that's going on in the world.

00:49:32.640 I get it.

00:49:33.020 It's bad.

00:49:33.540 It's dark. 0.88

00:49:34.000 It's depraved.

00:49:34.600 And we can get really discouraged.

00:49:37.340 But God's work doesn't always make headlines.

00:49:41.060 He is constantly working things together for the good of those who love him.

00:49:47.120 And that has been called according to his purpose.

00:49:49.820 He is always bringing glory to himself.

00:49:51.960 And we always have a reason to rejoice.

00:49:54.100 And by the way, one day, sickness, sadness, sorrow will be no more.

00:49:58.180 He will do away with evil forever.

00:50:01.080 That is our hope.

00:50:02.140 Jesus will rule in perfect and total peace.

00:50:05.400 Until then, what do we do?

00:50:07.360 The next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God.

00:50:10.920 So thanks for doing the next right thing when it came to this pregnancy center too.

00:50:13.680 All right, guys.

00:50:27.060 That's all we've got time for today.

00:50:28.700 Just a reminder, Monday is a holiday.

00:50:31.120 I hope y'all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

00:50:34.160 We've got some, my husband and I have some fun plans, but we will not have an episode on Monday at all.

00:50:38.080 No replay or anything like that.

00:50:39.560 So no relatable on Monday.

00:50:41.280 I've got so much I still need to talk about.

00:50:43.580 I wanted to talk about, I wanted to respond to something that Jen Hatmaker said today.

00:50:47.480 I'll probably have to do that on Tuesday or sometime next week.

00:50:49.680 We've got a lot of good subjects coming down the pipeline that I'm excited to talk about with you guys.

00:50:56.320 I just want to reiterate my thanks for you guys, the encouragement, the prayers from the related bells and yes, the related bros out there.

00:51:03.300 You guys just mean a whole lot to me and I'm very thankful for you.

00:51:06.960 I'm very thankful for this family, for this community and how we lift each other up and share the arrows.

00:51:10.860 So thank you so much for that.

00:51:12.320 I see you.

00:51:12.980 I see you sharing the arrows.

00:51:14.560 I see your encouragement and I'm very grateful for it.

00:51:18.320 All right.

00:51:18.660 We will see you guys back here next Tuesday.

00:51:20.980 Bye.

00:51:21.100 Bye.

00:51:26.320 Bye.
