christian values

Today we're joined by Rosaria Butterfield to hear her amazing testimony of how she found Christ after years of living in sin. She shares her story of coming to Christ, from being raised by secular Catholics, to coming out as a lesbian and becoming an esteemed feminist academic, to finally being saved and dedicating her life to God. We also talk about a recent article Rosaria wrote in which she publicly repented for engaging in "pronoun hospitality," the idea that affirming someone's chosen identity is a good way to gain someone's trust before sharing the Gospel with him. Rosaria explains why this isn't correct and offers a fresh perspective on why it's actually sinful for Christians to be supportive of "tolerant" or "inclusive" policies around marriage. We end with Rosaria's thoughts on how to stay connected with friends and family who do things like use preferred pronouns, without affirming something that isn't true; her advice to Christians who are struggling with believing they are gay or transgender; and how to navigate these situations in a biblical way.

Today we're joined by BlazeTV host of "4 Minute Buzz" Hilary Kennedy to discuss all kinds of weird occult products and shows popping up specifically for young people. First, a "Christian" ouija board for sale on Amazon promises to connect people with God. Psalm-themed tarot cards, marketed as "affirmation cards," are also deceptively marketed to Christians, and a ouija board marketed specifically to little girls features a pink kitten-themed aesthetic. This further shows that the glamorization and “normalizing” of the occult is becoming more and more prevalent at a pace we haven’t seen in recent decades. We also discuss Disney's new German show "Pauline," about an 18-year-old getting pregnant by and falling in love with Satan, and why modern culture seems to keep coming back to this narrative in different formats. Then, we share some good news from CNN of all places: Abortion numbers have greatly decreased in post-Roe America! --- Timecodes: (00:51) Interview with Hilary begins (02:05) "Christian" ouija board (03:23) "Christian" tarot cards (07:16) Kids ouija board (10:51) Demon-themed Disney shows (14:29) The occult / new age beliefs in culture (29:38) Good news: abortion stats --- Today's Sponsors: EdenPURE — when you buy one Thunderstorm you get one FREE, this week only!

Today we're talking about a few popular figures in culture. First, Dylan Mulvaney hosted a variety show this week to celebrate one year of pretending to be a woman. We take a look at some moments from the event and respond earnestly to Dylan: Jesus loves and cares for you. The joy you are searching for is only found in Him. Then, popular YouTuber Shane Dawson made headlines recently after posting a video with his partner about their IVF journey. They discuss the egg retrieval process and how to choose which eggs to implant while joking about "playing God." Shane Dawson has made several disgusting, pedophilic comments in the past about children, so why is it OK for him to now be creating a child? Adoption requires extensive background searches, yet anyone can participate in commercial surrogacy. There are always sad repercussions when children don't have both a mom and a dad. We wrap up today's episode with a clown world update: An Arizona school board ended the district's agreement with Arizona Christian University in an effort to “create a safe space for their LBGTQ students.” It seems that the Christian values at this university were getting in the way of the Left’s agenda. --- Timecodes: (00:56) Show update (02:37) Dylan Mulvaney’s ‘Year of Girlhood’ celebration (22:03) Shane Dawson & surrogacy (40:33) Christian persecution in modern American culture --- Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold — protect your future with gold.

Today we're joined by Monica Cline – public speaker, consultant, and founder of It Takes a Family – to talk about the dangers of comprehensive sex education for kids and how parents should be involved in their kids' education. Monica started out as a family planning educator for young people at Planned Parenthood, where she learned the tactics that end up encouraging kids to think about graphic sexual activities. We discuss why comprehensive sex education at a young age can actually pressure kids into having sex rather than prevent them and why "consent education" for kids shouldn't exist when kids aren't capable of sexual consent. Then we talk about the importance of parental roles in this sphere – how kids need boundaries and clarity from their parents and how many governmental institutions, as well as Planned Parenthood, see parents as "barriers to service." Then, Monica shares her story of how she had her son and came to Christ. --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise – use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.
