Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey Blaze Podcast Network

Today, we discuss Pope Francis' recent comments about the fundamental goodness of human beings. The pope made the remarks in a "60 Minutes" interview with Norah O'Donnell and immediately sparked controversy online. We explain why he is wrong about this and explain the doctrine of total depravity. Plus, Harrison Butker's speech caused a stir over on "The View" when Sara Haines criticized the Catholic athlete for attending the Traditional Latin Mass, called Catholicism an "extreme religion," and suggested some people abuse Christianity by cherry-picking Bible verses. We take another look at Butker's speech and explain some of the parts we disagree with.

Today, we discuss the recent death of Mica Miller, wife of the pastor at Solid Rock Church in North Carolina, John Paul Miller. Mica passed away in April from a gunshot wound to the head. The couple had filed for divorce in October 2023, and Mica allegedly suffered from mental health issues and breakdowns. But there's more to the story, including a history of abuse that Mica's family claims led to Mica's demise. John Paul has said Mica died by suicide, but the medical examiner has not released a cause of death. So, what really happened to Mica Miller?

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.

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?
