Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey Blaze Podcast Network

I’ve been listening to Allie’s podcast for a few months now. While I really like the political episodes, the theology episodes have left me frustrated and sad. Quite frankly, though Allie knows her theology well, she knows Calvinist (or Reformed) theology well. She frequently mentions that this is the basis for her theology. I’ve studied many different Christian theologies in order to determine what denomination to worship with. When studying Calvinist doctrine, it took me some time to reconcile fully the issues that I have with things like predestination. If you fill your mind with the voice of someone preaching (and yes, that’s what she’s doing, though she may try to justify otherwise) theology that you don’t agree with, you’re going to turn off their podcast feeling worse about your faith, not better, and more confused. Unfortunately, in order to stay focused in my walk with Christ, I can no longer listen to her theology focused episodes. So if your Calvinist or Reformed, whatever term you want to use, this is a great podcast for you. If not, find a podcast consistent with your theological views and grow in that. Don’t allow yourself to become frustrated, confused, and demoralized by theology that is not yours. It’s up to all of us to study the Word of God for ourselves and determine how to practice that faith, you may not come to the Calvinist conclusion and that’s okay. Though Allie may feel it’s the best theology, it’s the one she has studied and accepted, not necessarily the right or perfect one. The only right and perfect theology is the one believers will learn when we get to heaven.

This podcast brings me hope that there are good hearted, intelligent, open minded people out in this crazy world we live in. Allie, you’re a breath of fresh air. The Holy Spirit truly is at work through you. Keep doing what you’re doing!

It’s refreshing and inspiring to hear someone speaking the truth in a society full of lies. Keep being a light and God will continue to bless you!!
