Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today, we’re talking about the sentencing of multiple pro-lifers who are now faced with years in prison for trying to block people from entering abortion clinics. We explain how hypocritical this is for the DOJ as well as why the pro-life movement needs to readjust its priorities. Then, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave a commencement speech at a Catholic college that has stirred up quite a bit of controversy from those claiming he should be kicked off his team for his conservative Christian views. Then, Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, joins to share the latest on election polling, RFK Jr.’s abortion flip-flopping, and what’s going on with the supposed upcoming Biden-Trump debate. Also, Ron answers your questions on politics, family, and parenthood.  Get your tickets for Share the Arrows: https://www.sharethearrows.com/ Get Ron's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Lessons-Little-Red-Wagon/dp/B0BK6XPXLK --- Timecodes: (00:30) Share the Arrows event (08:30) Pro-lifers indicted (28:26) Harrison Butker's commencement speech (34:34) Election updates (42:00) RFK Jr. on abortion / economy (1:00:30) Questions for Allie's dad --- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile — go to PatriotMobile.com/ALLIE or call 972-PATRIOT and use promo code 'ALLIE' for free activation!

Today, we sit down with author Christina Dent. Christina's nonprofit End It for Good advocates for the decriminalization of drugs and a shift away from a criminal-justice approach and toward a health-centered approach to address America's drug and overdose epidemic. But does decriminalization actually work? What would this look like in America? And where's the line between a compassionate, health-driven approach and complete lawlessness that creates unsafe cities?

Today, we discuss the evil practices of surrogacy and egg- and sperm-selling, as highlighted by a recent video of a same-sex male couple who adopted a newborn baby. How has the practice of surrogacy and tearing children away from their mothers become so commonplace in America? What are the impacts of motherless or fatherless homes? And what does this mean for Christians in the culture war?

Today we take a break from the news cycle to celebrate 1,000 episodes of "Relatable"! We explain how Allie got started in media and eventually made her way to BlazeTV. Then, we play some voicemails from the audience to hear your thoughts on the show and how it may have changed your perspectives! We also meet the Relatable crew: Bri, Lily, Vince, and George, who produce, edit, and direct the show. We also play a game of "Would You Rather?" and take a look at some paleoart drawings of animals that may be further proof that no one knows what dinosaurs looked like. --- Timecodes: (08:31) Meeting the team (20:58) History of the show (32:55) My journey of starting Relatable (46:02) Voicemails (1:00:17) Would You Rather?
