Today we're talking about an NHL hockey player, Ivan Provorov, who refused to wear a pride flag jersey for an NHL charity warm-up, citing his Russian Orthodox faith and asking that reporters respect his decision. The NHL is becoming more and more known for promoting the LGBTQ agenda and striving to be "inclusive." We look at the outrage from journalists at Provorov's decision, including one analyst who suggests that Provorov go back to Russia if he doesn't agree with the LGBTQ agenda. We also take a look at this season's fashions trends to see if we approve. Then, we discuss one of the most horrifying stories we've seen: a gay couple's serial sexual abuse and prostitution of their two young adopted sons and how the Christian adoption agency that placed the boys fast-tracked their application despite warning signs. --- Timecodes: (01:50) Hockey player refuses to wear pride jersey (18:14) Seasonal trend review (21:40) Gay couple abuses adopted children --- Today's Sponsors: Dwell — enhance your time in the Word with the read-along experience featuring big, bold text & beautiful background art.

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 what work will look like in heaven (yes, we will work in heaven!). Then, we talk about the importance of disciple-making and how it's more important than ever to think of this within the framework of the workplace. We discuss what "calling" means and whether God cares about what work we choose to do. Then, we look at the importance of doing difficult jobs with joy and why we as Christians need to be running into dark places.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to sift back through the rapture and rupture of our first year of podcasting – we can hardly believe this is our 52nd week of BPT! We're going to revisit some really cool theological concepts like orthodoxy, orthopraxy and orthopathy and I will surely mispronounce a multi-syllabic term or two because if you've spent even a short amount of time hanging out on the proverbial porch with us, you know that bloopers are a big part of our repertoire! But there's a biblical method to our happy madness today as well, because in Revelation 12, the evil one is depicted as an angry dragon because our Savior's sword is poking out of his nasty, scaly chest so that lying lizard knows his time is short. Revelation 12 also explains that the devil is defeated by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. In other words, when we talk about the good things God has done and is doing, we effectively plunge King Jesus' sword deeper into his evil chest! Therefore, Ally and Dr. Howard and I are going to thoroughly enjoy some lizard torture today, because we're gob-smacked by the grace God has lavished on us, as well as the gift of community He's given us with y'all and we can't wait to TEST-TI-FY all about it! So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or doing the Electric Slide with your small group, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us!

Today we're joined by Jennifer Bilek, investigative journalist, who has uncovered the powerful individuals funding and pushing transgenderism in children. We cover powerful figures and corporations who have a vested interest in pushing this ideology and discuss how transgenderism unmoors us from reality, which only leads to the redefinition of what it means to be human through technology and medicine. We take a look at the Pritzker family, one of the wealthiest families in the world, and their involvement in the transgender agenda. Then, we answer the question of why it's so important to hold fast to true and accurate language. --- Timecodes: (00:39) Jennifer's research (12:14) Interview with Jennifer --- Today's Sponsors: Dwell — enhance your time in the Word with the read-along experience featuring big, bold text & beautiful background art.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology Ally and I are beginning 2023 with fresh resolve to lean more fully into the love of Jesus Christ! Our goal is to grow in our devotion to God, as well as to have more wisdom regarding how to prune that which (and those who) diverts or distracts us from Him. According to recent polls, losing weight is a perennial top ten New Year's resolution and I hope to drop a few pounds myself…but man, how much more fulfilling would it be to drop ten or fifteen pounds of toxic, emotional baggage, y'all? So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or still peeling off the Spanx from that New Year's Eve party, of course – and come hang out on the porch with Alli, Dr. Howard, Belle and me!

Do you believe people are basically good and humane? On this journey, Dr. G explores what makes us behave so wickedly, so often. Looking to both the Bible and science for guidance, he opens your eyes to what's really going on deep inside you ... to what's responsible for your bad behavior. WARNING: Dr. G gives some examples of humanity's wicked beahvior. At that point, before proceeding, Dr. G will pause to give you a chance to fast-forward by 2 minutes and 15 second, if you don't want to heart to hear them.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to dive into the joy-saturated stories of Anna and Simeon, two geriatric saints who never gave up hope that they'd meet the Messiah before they met their Maker. And we're going to compare and contrast the solo Simeon warbled after meeting 7-week-old baby Jesus with Mary's Magnificat – the gorgeous praise chorus she sang after Gabriel gave her the shock of a lifetime by proclaiming that although she hadn't graduated from high school yet, Yaweh had chosen her to carry the Christ! You're gonna be so stoked when you find out how those two ancient songs reveal the supernaturally comforting Trinitarian-nature of that first Advent! This episode might just help banish your post-Christmas blues better than chips and queso, y'all – which is a huge endorsement coming from me. So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or secretly dragging your Christmas tree to some vacationing neighbor's backyard burn pile, of course – and come hang out on the porch with Alli, Dr. Howard and me!

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to peruse the 400 Silent Years between the Old Testament and New Testament – which is formally called the Intertestamental Period – when God's voice was not recorded. It's tempting for us to associate silence with sadness, even badness, especially during seasons like Christmas when it seems the world around us is in an emotionally noisy, celebratory mood. However, biblical narrative kicks our assumption to the curb because over and over again in Scripture silence is the prelude to a miracle. Plus, learning to trust God's sovereign mercy while waiting in the quiet often led to a wonder that far exceeded our ancestor's faith. Abraham and Sarah became parents to Issac – the beginning of the theocracy of Israel – when Abe was 100 years old and surely at least a smidge deaf in one ear; Issac and Rebekah prayed for children for two decades before giving birth to those infamous twins, Jacob and Esau; Manoah and his wife gave birth to Samson when they were so old, they were on daily statins and wearing bifocals; and when Elizabeth got pregnant with John the Baptist – the human symbolism of Christmas Eve because he was the forerunner of the Christ – she was advanced in age, meaning she'd spent long seasons wondering if God was immune to her anguish. The deepest hope often grows in the darkest places. So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or bridling a reindeer, of course – and come hang out on the porch with Alli, Dr. Howard and me!

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 finding out Santa isn't real and how this impacted her view of the topic now. We talk about laying a foundation of integrity and trustworthiness for our kids. Lastly, we take a look at the White House's Respect for Marriage Act signing ceremony and Biden's statement that LGBTQ people are being "thrown out of restaurants" and that trans kids and doctors offering "gender-affirming care" are being targeted. We respond to these wild statements and look at why leftists have gotten so extreme, so quickly. --- Timecodes: (4:11) Is Christmas a pagan holiday?

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to explore a passage in Luke and expose the awe-deprivation that has permeated modern Christendom. Then we're going to take off our spiritual Spanx and have a real and raw conversation about how we can recover the wonder we used to have at Christmas when we were absolutely undone by the truism of Immanuel – of God. With. Us. Remember when your eyes welled up whenever you sang, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing, GLORY to the newborn king?” What happened to the starry eyes we used to have only for Jesus? One of my spiritual mentors, Pastor and Professor Scotty Smith, wryly observed that far too many Christ-followers are like Cinderella with amnesia. Some of us have forgotten that believing in Jesus swings the door wide open to a glorious adventure and mystery greater than our imaginations could possibly conjure up! We. Have. Been written into the lead role of an epic, divine love story called Christianity, y'all – which as Sir C.S. Lewis exclaimed: “Is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.” Our jaws should still be hanging open over the inscrutable fact that the only true God who CREATED THE WORLD WITH HIS WORD condescended from glory to make His grace accessible to us! Today is our wake-up call to WONDER… so please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or trying to superimpose your mother-in-law's head on that dancing digital elf, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us!

Today we're diving into the Kanye West (who now legally goes by "Ye") saga that's been unraveling over the past few weeks. We break down the entire timeline, from Ye's initial controversial statements on Tucker Carlson and at Paris Fashion Week to his scary and unhinged comments against Jewish people this week. We look at some of the statements from the unreleased parts of Ye's Tucker Carlson interview and on the podcast "Drink Champs." We discuss his dinner with Trump and the controversy of Ye's relationship with Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos. Then, we talk about Ye's appearance on "Timcast," in which he stormed off set after host Tim Pool pushed back on his views on Jewish people, which was quickly followed by an appearance on Alex Jones' “Infowars,” where he shared very clear and consistent praise for Hitler and Nazis. He was then kicked off Twitter for posting similar anti-Semitic statements. We end with some final thoughts on how we as Christians should approach “speaking out” against things like this. --- Timecodes: (01:27) History of Kanye's controversies (09:40) "White Lives Matter" and Tucker Carlson interview (14:30) Interview on Drink Champs & with Chris Cuomo (18:13) Trump dinner (23:37) Ye on Timcast (29:30) Ye on Alex Jones' Infowars (34:55) Kicked off Twitter (39:25) Ye's defense of Balenciaga (48:23) Final thoughts --- Today's Sponsors: Raycon — go to BuyRaycon.com/ALLIE today to save 15% off sitewide with code "HOLIDAY", plus free shipping!

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to talk about some of the less prominent features – the “tucked away treasures” in the Christmas story that illustrate the fact that nothing and no one is insignificant to God. Even the quietest - often overlooked - details of this love story we call the Bible bellow the attentive compassion of our Kinsman Redeemer! From Joseph's gentle and generous assent to becoming an adoptive father, to the astral projection that compelled a crew of wise men to pack their bags and begin a 1,000 mile trek to meet a foreign toddler, to the royal specificity of an ancient substance called frankincense that's still royally pricey today if you're one of those passionate essential-oilers, the minutia of Christmas was miraculous. And while they weren't loud, blow-your-hair-back kind of supernatural stuff, the finer points of the birth narrative we're perusing today changed the course of history. Reminds me of what a wise dude named Zechariah said a long time ago, “Don't despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” If you're feeling unseen, irrelevant, or unappreciated today, be encouraged this one's especially for you! So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or untangling Christmas lights in the attic, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us!

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. Then, we briefly look at the atrocious Colorado Springs shooting and the Left's heartless insistence that "anti-trans rhetoric" was the cause, only for it to come out that the suspect is non-binary. We take a look at Biden's "gender-fluid" nuclear official Sam Brinton, who was just charged with stealing a woman's luggage at the airport, and talk about the fascinating story of twin 30-year-old embryos being born. --- Timecodes: [01:00] Balenciaga update [06:04] Tampax tweet [18:02] NHL trans tournament tweet [23:35] Colorado shooter is "nonbinary" [32:42] Sam Brinton charged with stealing woman's luggage [43:34] 30-year-old embryos --- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile — go to PatriotMobile.com/ALLIE or call 972-PATRIOT and use promo code 'ALLIE' to try Patriot Mobile for two months and get your third month for free!

There are many people, including Christians, who claim that the purest, most powerful kind of faith is "blind faith" -- faith that doesn't have or need any extra-Biblical supporting evidence. On this journey, Dr. G explores the validity of that claim by looking at what the Bible -- above all, at what Jesus (God) himself -- says about the most powerful, ideal kind of faith ... and whether science enhances or detracts from it.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to explore a colorful passage at the beginning of Matthew's gospel account to help prepare our hearts for the miracle of Christmas during this, the first week of Advent. Because despite what retailers would like us to think, the Advent has nothing whatsoever to do with shopping! The word “Advent” comes from the Latin word adventus, which means arrival or coming. In the 4th and 5th Centuries, Advent marked the season of preparation for the baptism of new Christians at the January feast of Epiphany. During that ancient season of preparation, Christ-followers spent 40 days in penance, prayer, and fasting to prepare for the baptisms of new believers at Epiphany. It wasn't until the Middle Ages, that Advent was solely connected with Christmas. And while joy is certainly one facet of Advent, there is a necessary sobriety to this season as Deitrich Bonhoeffer explained in his observation: "The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come." Bonhoeffer's assertion that only those cognizant of their own flaws can actually celebrate Christ's coming aptly describes the biblical characters we'll be hanging out with today because their true stories sound like they've been ripped from the tabloids! They're pretty unusual – if not very unlikely - ambassadors of Advent but they provide glorious proof that perfection is not a prerequisite to be adopted into the family of God! So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or feeding a giant Tupperware of cranberry sauce into the garbage disposal, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us!

People speak about being "rational" as though it were the gold standard of behavior. On this journey, Dr. G reveals the depth to which the cosmos is fundamentally not rational. What does that mean, exactly? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? And what does it imply about our scientific theories? About us humans? About God? As Dr. G says, "Let the journey begin!"

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to use a uniquely American holiday that involves consuming copious amounts of dead bird and marshmallow-slathered root vegetables as a springboard to talk about the global spiritual fruit of gratitude. Our hope is that this conversation will be beneficial to all Backporchers - whether you live in Nashville, Nairobi, New York or New Zealand! And the passage we're going to dive into is non-traditional as well. More often than not Christians turn to the New Testament when the topic is eucharisteo – that's the original Greek word the English word “thanksgiving” is translated from – but we're going Old Testament today to talk about how unlike the Thanksgiving holiday we celebrate here in America the last Thursday in November, gratitude is supposed to be an on-going, everyday expression of faith for Christ-followers. One of my theological heroes – Sir G.K. Chesterton – who wrote the classic book, “Orthodoxy” – said it well in this keen observation: “When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or have your hands in the nether-regions of a frozen Turkey, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us!

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to continue exploring the Old Testament historical narratives, as well as the biblical significance of both banquets and barren places. We're going to talk about what it really means to be adopted into God's family and assured a seat at His family table. And Dr. Howard's going to give us a much more hopeful and holistic understanding of the theological term soteriology because putting your hope in Jesus Christ is so much better than a one and done moment at youth camp or a single step on some ethereal ladder of religiousity! The supernatural atonement Jesus made available to us through His suffering and subsequent death on a cross, followed by His bodily resurrection is a 360-degree experience of divine grace – He really is making all things new, y'all! So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or participating in a hotly contested thumb war, of course – and come hang out on the porch with Alli, Dr Howard and me.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology, we're going to dive into a crazy Old Testament family drama more colorful than an episode of Yellowstone and in so doing we're going to highlight what Dr. A.W. Tozer said many years ago: It takes humility to worship God acceptably. There's a lovely little Hebrew word in the Old Testament pronounced kah-vode that can mean two things: “glory” as in God's glory, and “weight” as in the waistline of someone who's been indulging in too many Krispy Kremes. And this one little word packs quite a punch in our convo today because it leads us to the conclusion that human shoulders aren't nearly broad enough to carry the weight of God's glory – spiritual leadership and Christian celebrity are not remotely synonymous. As my friend Christine Caine wisely and soberly says, “If the light on you in brighter than the light of Christ in you, it has the potential to kill you.” So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or in the final stages of putting together a Lego replica of the Millennium Falcon, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to exhale into a green Scriptural pasture that church father and ancient theologian, John Calvin, described as “an anatomy of all parts of the soul.” The Psalms. Every emotion in the human continuum is expressed somewhere in these 150 Psalms that were all originally composed as songs. These biblical lyrics record both the dancing and the weeping of God's people. As a matter of fact, they contain more bluesy kind of tunes than anything else, proving that our Savior doesn't require us to sanitize our emotions or cull out the dark ones before we approach Him. God's love for us is immutable…it doesn't change regardless of what kind of emotional season we're in. So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible, unless you're driving or docking a boat of course, and come hang out on the porch with us.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to dive into the twelfth book of the Minor Prophets & the very last book ~ in canonical order ~ of the Old Testament, Malachi. Or as one of my Italian friends teasingly transliterates: Malachee! This post-exhilic book is unique in its format, which scholars describe as rhetorical disputation ~ which basically means a literary debate. In other words, this OT narrative depicts the Israelites ~ our spiritual ancestors ~ with their fists raised in the air fussing with the Creator of the Universe. Yet, despite their flagrant disobedience, Malachi also underscores God's immutable ~ which is a fifty-dollar word that simply means unchanging ~ compassion. If you're anything like me and struggle with trust ~ maybe because you've been abandoned or deeply wounded in the past, I think today's conversation might help you lower your guard with God. So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible, unless you're driving or doing origami of course, and come hang out on the porch with us.

Jase appoints Missy as the cloud in their relationship, because he relies on her for technology and her organizational skills. Al and Jase reflect on Phil's only rule growing up: "Don't you ever disrespect your mother." Phil asks why the devil would specifically target masculinity in America, and Jase recalls Phil's younger days, when his philosophy was centered on being physically tough and running barefoot through trees and rocks without showing pain. Phil called the practice, "Who's a man?" And the guys are joined by guest Jarrett Samuels, host of "The Pursuit of Manliness" podcast, to vigorously equip men for the pursuit of biblical manliness.

Today we're talking to psychiatrist Dr. Sally Satel about how woke ideology and progressivism are working their way into the mental health field. We talk about the consequences of therapists and other mental health professionals using leftist ideology when treating their patients and how harmful it is when you absolve people of any responsibility for their issues and instead blame systemic issues and society as a whole. Dr. Satel explains how this happened and how this kind of therapy is ineffective at helping people work through their problems. At a time when mental health problems are ripping through young people, the last thing we need to be doing is feeding them woke platitudes from Instagram or TikTok. --- Today's Sponsors: Cozy Earth — for a limited time save 35% off your order at CozyEarth.com/ALLIE & enter promo code 'ALLIE' at checkout.

Today we're reacting to and discussing Tim Keller's recent tweets in which he fundamentally misunderstands the political debate over abortion in America. We go through the tweet thread and discuss what he gets wrong and talk about the theological reasons behind wanting to ban abortion, as compared to whether or not other biblical tenets need to be codified in law.

First, we discuss recent allegations against John MacArthur and his church involving a woman who claims she was counseled to stay with a husband who was abusing her. Is this true?

Today we're talking to Ross Kennedy of Fortis Analysis about the food shortages and supply chain issues happening due to world events like COVID and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It seems the sanctions that the U.S. put on Russia have had little, if any, effect, and this move has only pushed Russia farther into the arms of China's CCP, which is helping Russia circumvent Western financial sanctions. We talk about the consequences of this and what the emergence of a China-led group of nations would look like for the world of the U.S. and its allies. Ross also breaks down what's going on in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where a Chinese company is trying to construct a corn-processing plant. The thing is, Grand Forks is also home to an important Air Force base. We discuss how Chinese companies are able to do this and why neither high-level Democrats nor Republicans seem to care about stopping it. Then, Ross explains what's going on in Shanghai and why the CCP is imposing such a brutal lockdown on so many people. --- Today's Sponsors: Pre-Born has a passion to save unborn babies from abortion & see women come to Christ.

Today we're covering two serious topics that the media would probably prefer that you just forget about: the Brooklyn subway shooting and the deadly lockdown that the CCP is imposing on millions of people in Shanghai. After a person of interest was named in the Brooklyn shooting, it was revealed that this individual had extremist, violent leftist views that he espoused online, which, of course, we aren't "allowed" to talk about because it doesn't fit the establishment narrative. Then, discussing Shanghai, we point out that the CCP's "zero COVID" policy is literally killing more people than COVID itself, as the residents of Shanghai cannot leave their homes for any reason. Many are running out of food, and there are reports of suicides as a result of the harsh measures as well. But, as we always try to do, we end the episode on a positive note, since we as Christians know that no matter how bad things get, everything that happens in this world happens to fulfill God's grand plan of redemption. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (4:30) Allie's 30-Day plan (8:00) Brooklyn subway shooting - let's look at the media coverage & bias (24:00) Shanghai's horrific zero-COVID lockdown --- Today's Sponsors: Reliefband is 100% drug free, non-drowsy, & provides all-natural, long-lasting relief of motion sickness & nausea with zero side effects!

Today we're talking about Disney and all the reasons the company doesn't deserve our support any more, if it ever did. We also discuss why employees of Disney and others who oppose Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act are being labeled "groomers" by those on the Right. Long story short, it's an accurate accusation. We also go back to the history of gender ideology, and we expose the disturbed individual who created the trans pride flag and all of the downright evil baggage that symbol comes with. Thanks to the reporting of people like Chris Rufo and others, we now know that Disney is absolutely infested with people who are desperate to push LGBTQ stories on kids and people who have been arrested for having or attempting to have inappropriate relations with kids. None of that endears Disney to regular people, and we talk about how we should respond as Christians who want to give our kids a good childhood but want to maintain biblical ethics when it comes to the media we consume. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (3:59) Why are we talking about Disney & Florida?

Today, we start by discussing President Biden's nominee for the Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson. It's important for people to be familiar with her judicial record, as she is on the precipice of joining the highest court in the country. So, it's unfortunate to discover that not only her judicial record, but also her views on race and gender, are very suspicious. Senator Josh Hawley did a good job of exposing Jackson's tendency to give light sentences to those involved with child sexual assault material. Then, fellow BlazeTV host Steve Deace of "The Steve Deace Show" joins us to discuss several other topics going around the news right now. We talk a little bit more about Ketanji Brown Jackson and how she wasn't even able to provide a definition of the word "woman," but we also touch on Dr. Fauci's return to cable news to remind us of the dangers of COVID, and we even get into the broader topic of how the sexual revolution of the 60s is still hurting society today. Lastly, we talk about what it even means to be a conservative and how closely Christians should ally themselves with secular freedom lovers to defeat progressive wokeness. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (0:29) Did Allie start CrossFit again?
