Today we're recapping the speaker of the House ordeal, in which Republican Kevin McCarthy faced 15 rounds of votes before he was finally elected. We discuss why some Republicans pushed back against McCarthy and what (very good) concessions he agreed to in order to get the votes he needed for the election. We look at Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' speech in which he misuses Scripture to argue that Democrats are doing "good." We beg to differ. Then, we'll use our vast knowledge of fashion to bre...

Today we're joined by Jordan Raynor, author, entrepreneur, and host of the "Mere Christians" podcast, to discuss the biblical perspective on work. We start by discussing what God thinks about work and how work was not a result of the fall, but rather a gift from God before the fall. But how does that truth change the way we work on a day-to-day basis? How can seemingly mundane work such as changing diapers or making a latte bring pleasure to God? We discuss what brings God joy in our work and wh...

We're back, Relata-belles and Relata-bros! Today, we're starting by asking the question: Should Christians concern themselves with setting New Year's resolutions? We discuss the need for renewed hope in addition to stability, routine, and sameness. Then, we take a look at an article on motherhood, which denounces toxic mommy culture and states that marriage and motherhood tend to actually be intertwined with happiness. Children are not deterrents to our happiness; they're gifts with the capacity...

Today we're joined by Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, to discuss the failures of teachers' unions and public education. PragerU just released a short documentary, "The Bigger Bully in School: Why Public Education is Failing in America," which exposes today's teachers' unions as highly funded and politicized organizations that do nothing but hurt the public education system and protect terrible teachers. And the worst part? These unions are not even hiding it. We discuss how they get away with th...

Today we're looking at a few research studies on what Christians do and what Christians think. First, we look at a study that shows younger evangelicals care more about climate change than their elders. We discuss why this is and how the media and leftist agenda have infiltrated their thinking. We turn to scripture to see what the Bible has to say about God's sovereignty over the Earth. We also look through some statistics on opinions on gay marriage in America and explain how protestants tend t...

Today we’re reviewing the craziest Tik Toks and clips we could find, so move on over to YouTube if you want to watch along! We start with Dylan Mulvaney’s TikTok claiming he carries tampons in case a woman nearby needs one. We dive into our theories on that. Then, we look at adults who need affirmation from kids, adults who are a little bit TOO into kids' things, and adults who get in public fights over masks. We discuss progressive Christianity, "stay-at-home girlfriends," and anti-white racism...

Today on this very Christmas-themed episode, we’re answering the question: Is Christmas pagan? We look at John Piper's response to this question and elaborate on why, while some Christmas traditions may have pagan origins, it is very good to celebrate the birth of Christ and all it represents. Ultimately, like with all things, we want to make sure not to esteem Christmas above Christ himself. Then, we get into a controversial take: not sharing Santa with one's kids. Allie shares her story of fin...

Today we’re starting off with more news on the Respect for Marriage Act, which is being signed into law today. The Biden administration has invited a drag queen (who regularly performs for kids) to the signing, which further proves that this isn’t just about moderate marriage policies – it’s a part of the sexual revolution tied together with these other sexual agendas. Another person the Biden admin has hoisted up is Sam Brinton, the former deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel ...

Today we start by discussing the American Girl company turning its back on girls. Recently, American Girl started selling a book called "A Smart Girl's Guide: Body Image" that actively encourages young girls who feel uncomfortable with their bodies to pursue gender transition. Not only does the book explicitly talk about puberty blockers for kids, it also has advice for how kids can deal with this with no input from their parents at all. It seems like American Girl went from telling young girls ...

Elenis, a case that questions whether Lorie Smith, an artist who...

Today we're rounding up a few news stories, but first we give an update on the Balenciaga saga after the company released yet another semi-apology. We discuss the Tampax tweet that sexualized tampons, which the company doubled down on before apologizing, as well as the NHL's tweet in support of a transgender hockey tournament, followed by the statement that "trans men are men and trans women are women." We talk about why these tweets are so off-base and the need to hold companies accountable. Th...

The campaign, which has faced intense backlash, featured children posing with the company's BDSM-themed items (including a teddy bear backpack), while set dressing for one photo includes a document from a court case about child pornography. The ads were removed from circulation, and Balenciaga issued something of an apology, while also blaming others for the ad. In the end, who is responsible, and where were the parents? We look into...

Context is key when interpreting the meaning behind a verse of the Bible. Many Christians might believe that Jeremiah 29:11 must mean that God will give His people prosperous lives without suffering. However, when we explore the background of the book of Jeremiah leading up to the verse, we discover that it has a much richer message than that. --- Relevant Previous Episodes: Ep 192 | Most Misused: Matthew 7:1 https://apple.co/3Oh4wb1 Ep 225 | Most Misused: Psalm 46:5 https://apple.co/3tFfy0h Ep ...
