It's brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers. Go to Good Ranchers.com code alley.
Starting point is 00:01:25 That's good ranchers.com code Alley. Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Thursday. Hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far. Just a reminder, we've got these awesome new mugs in this yard sign. Our first ever yard sign. God's eternal plan of redemption is always going off without a hitch. On Monday, we're going to have this amazing conversation with a man who left the gay lifestyle, repented, is following Christ. And as we were talking about his story, I love our. testimony episodes. They're so edifying to me, but edifying to you guys as well. And we were talking just about how God uses our stories, the testimonies of his people to then change other people's hearts and minds and how we will never really know the full effect and the impact of our courage in sharing our testimony until we get to glory. And we will get to see revealed, I believe, this constellation of lives and souls and hearts that were affected, changed by God through the power of the testimonies of his people. And God's eternal plan of redemption is going off without a hitch
Starting point is 00:02:53 because he chooses, doesn't have to, but chooses to use the often unseen and unsung, simple obedience of his people. And that's also why we often say do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God, because that's really how it works. That's how it works in the life of the Christian. We think about doing these big, grand things for God, these public displays of courage and boldness, and maybe God is calling you to that. But maybe the next right thing is something that seemingly small, something that is private, something that no one will ever see except for God. But when it's done in faith, when it's done to the fullness of our capability, when it's done for the glory of the Lord, it matters not just in the here and now, but in eternity.
Starting point is 00:03:53 There's an amazing book by Tim Keller. And I know we've got some disagreements with Tim Keller, especially his commentary about politics in the years before he died. But I learned a lot from Tim Keller, especially when I was in high school and college. A lot of his work was very formative in my understanding of the fundamental tenets of Christianity and shaping my worldview. And every good endeavor by Tim Keller changed how I saw work. And not only work, it changed how I saw every single action that I do, that every single good endeavor that is done in faith and for the glory of God means something. That is the beauty of the life of the believer that nothing doesn't matter. Everything matters. And that should change
Starting point is 00:04:43 how we live. That should change our outlook. It should give us hope. It should give us joy, knowing that we operate as people who are looking forward to the full culmination of Jesus's victory. And so I just wanted to start the day with that encouragement. We've talked about some difficult things this week, some sad things when we're talking about Lake and Riley's murder and the trial that we just saw. If you need a recap on that and the details, please go back and listen to or watch the past two episodes. And in light of what we just said, I do just want to read you part of a journal entry that was read yesterday. in court before the announcement of the sentencing by her stepdad.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Because even though what I'm about to read you, which is a prayer or actually a letter that Lake and Riley wrote to her future husband, even though it didn't manifest itself in an actual future husband, I do believe that God is using something like this for his glory, something that otherwise would have always remained private, it is now being publicized and he may be using it to change hearts and minds as we see just the sweetness and the gentleness and the earnestness in this letter that Lake and Riley wrote to her future husband. And if you're unfamiliar with this concept, this is something that I did. I kept
Starting point is 00:06:14 the journal when I wrote letters and prayers for my future husband. This is something that is, I would say, very prevalent in the church. And so her small group leader encouraged her to write this letter. And this is just so sweet. So here's what her stepdad read yesterday. To my future husband, I want you to know that I'm thinking about you. I'm working every day to become the best wife I can be. I'm working through my current relationships to best prepare me for ours and our kids one day. I'm focusing on God in what he defines as a faithful Christian life so that I can best embody those characteristics. I pray that you know it is with my full faith and trust in God that I know this relationship. has been handcrafted by him. I pray that we continue to glorify the Lord,
Starting point is 00:07:00 prioritizing him in every aspect of our lives, and raise our family, our future family, to be God-fearing Christians as well. I pray God is at the center of our relationship, as it is a gift from him. I thank him for you before I even know you, and can't wait to love you in the best way I know how for the rest of our lives. I pray you know and feel the importance of my love and hopes for our relationship. No matter what challenges we face, I pray that our true, trusting God and love for one another overrules the obstacle. May our relationship last forever, your future wife, Lakin. And of course, Lakin's life was ended when she was just 22 years old.
Starting point is 00:07:40 And our mind's far too early. And of course, very unjustly by a person who should not have been here in the first place. And as I said yesterday, I just feel this burden to say, I'm sorry to Lakin because we failed her in so many ways the people who were tasked to protect our country to keep us safe didn't they failed and let that be a reminder of the effect of policy that the politicians you elect and the priorities they have the policies they believe in they have a real effect on people they have a real effect on people's lives but i take comfort that somehow in the midst of this mess that god is glorifying himself that god has glorifying himself that god is going to use her faith and her joy to bring others to himself because that's what he does.
Starting point is 00:08:32 What Satan means for evil, God uses for good. That's just how he works. He is in the business of redemption. He is in the business of bringing beauty out of ashes. And I pray that. I pray that he is glorified beyond what we can even comprehend. And I pray for her sweet parents. her mom. I saw the body cam footage yesterday. It's just so devastating when they found out that she
Starting point is 00:09:01 had been murdered. Oh my goodness. Just absolutely devastating. I mean, I can imagine as a mom, just the pain of what that was and the sadness that she displayed in the courtroom. Please pray for her family. Please pray for her friends who are understandably struggling and traumatized. Please pray that they would have the peace that passes all understanding. Pray that this would inspire courage in the American people, that it would inspire courage in our politicians to secure our border to enact righteous policy, which is to put the well-being of your citizens first. That is their God-given responsibility. Pray that they do that. Pray for this person, Ibarra, who, while he showed no remorse whatsoever that I could see,
Starting point is 00:09:53 In the courtroom, pray that God would turn his heart of stone into a heart of flesh because God can do that. I mean, if Jesus can change the heart and the life of Paul from someone who delighted in the murder of Christians to the greatest evangelist that the world has ever seen, then he can change Jose Ibarra's heart. As I've said, he should get the death penalty. Someone should share the gospel with him, and he should have the opportunity to respond, and then he should be executed. He's not going to be, as we talked about yesterday, he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. And it is unjust that he gets to live out the remainder of his days until his natural death and Lakin does not. That is not justice. That he gets an upgrade from his life in Venezuela funded by taxpayers, three free square meals a day for him, clothing,
Starting point is 00:10:51 comforts, a place that is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Not to say that prison is easy, but it's probably easier than the streets of Venezuela. And so really, he has been given a great grace. And she has had to suffer. And her life ended prematurely while his will go on, presumably for decades. That is not justice. The God who is justice in Genesis 9-6 says the death penalty is the proportionate punishment for murder because we are made in God's image. And one day Jesus is coming back and Psalm 37 tells us that he is going to do away with evil and evildoers. And one day we will have no more injustice.
Starting point is 00:11:39 One day we will have no more murder. We will have no more trials. We will have no more tribulation. We won't have any sickness or sadness. or oppression or violence or injustice because we will live in the fullness of Jesus's rule and his victory. And so let us have hope in that and let Lake and Riley's family have hope in that as well. Let me pause and let me tell you about our first sponsor for the day. And that is Good Ranchers. You guys know how much we love Good Ranchers in the Stucky Home. We rely on it
Starting point is 00:12:12 almost every night for the protein in our healthy meals. And I love their better than organic chicken. I choose the non-pre-marinated kind just because I like to decide the spices I put on my chicken. I use their ground beef probably the most. It's just so versatile. You can use it in pasta. You can use it in tacos and enchiladas and in a cassidias. If you can tell, I like tax max. And good ranchers helps me with that. They've also got amazing seafood, all kinds of stuff. All of it is from American farms and ranches. Also right now, if you buy it. any box. I encourage you to buy the Alley box because it's got all that stuff that I just listed and even more in it. It's really just like the box for moms. But if you go to Good Ranchers.com
Starting point is 00:13:01 slash Alley, you can get a free Thanksgiving ham with your purchase of any box. And that's amazing because that's like a $110 value. So go to Go to go to Ranchers.com. Use code Alley at checkout. That's good ranchers.com code alley. Okay. I want to talk about this crew email. Kroo Campus Crusade for Christ. We have talked about their leftward drift for a while. We talked about their curriculum that we got access to where they were basically presenting theological liberalism, political liberalism as a viable option for their ministry leaders. Things like pronoun politeness. They even presented affirmation of transgenderism, not as crew's own position, but as a position that some Christians might hold, and of course they have been very supportive of the social,
Starting point is 00:13:59 racial justice movement over the past few years. And so there's absolutely been a progressive trajectory of crew for a while, which is really such a shame because it's an organization that has positively changed very many lives. But after the election, they kind of played this mushy middle role that they've been playing for a while, pretending that voting for Kamala Harris is like a viable, okay option for Christians and that we should defer to the sadness of Christians and feel for the sadness of Christians who are disappointed that Kamala Harris, who rabidly and enthusiastically supported abortion through all nine months of pregnancy lost. So here's the summary of what went on. In response to the
Starting point is 00:14:44 2024 election results, Cruz's Oneness and Diversity National Team sent a letter to what is believed based on which staff members did or did not receive it to be their list of minority and bi-pox staff members titled, Oneness is a Truth and a Journey. The letter sought to help them with the spectrum of feelings following Trump's victory, but mostly focused on feelings of anger and grief. So the problem is first that they send it out to racial minorities only. And this is just something that we see in the legacy of 2020. A lot of Christian leaders doing this, pretending that black and brown Christians have to get one message, and it's a message of comfort, and I would say coddling, and then the white members have to get another message. And that is a message of you bear all of the sins and the responsibilities of everyone who
Starting point is 00:15:40 has roughly the same skin color as you, not just those who live today, but also those who lived 200 years ago, whether you were related to them or not. And so on the one hand, you are giving white people all of the agency and responsibility in the world. And then you're giving black and brown people no agency whatsoever, not only for what their ancestors did or didn't do, but even for what they do or do not do, which of course is just like not the gospel. The truth is that both sides need to hear you are responsible for your actions. You are not responsible. You are not responsible. for the sins of your ancestors. You're not responsible even for the victories and successes of your
Starting point is 00:16:24 ancestors. You are not judged by these things, but you are judged by your own heart. And are you regenerate by grace through faith in Christ or not? You don't carry the burden of the actions of your fathers and grandfathers. That is the truth. But unfortunately, there were disparate messages, two different gospels that were presented to these crowds by Christians who claim to be building the bridge and claimed to be advocates of racial reconciliation. And the idea was that racial reconciliation could only be accomplished if white people bore the sins of people who looked like them 200 years ago. And black people had no responsibility to take ownership of their own sins or their own bitterness or their own anger or their own resentment.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And that was just never going to work. That was never ever going to work. I've told you the rules in the Facebook group, Be the Bridge, which basically told white people to sit down and shut up. And I've given the specific rules in my book, Toxic Empathy, you can read. So I'm not just making this up. And I've written about it, talked about it before, but said that, you know, black and brown people you can cuss and wail at white people, but white people, you can't respond in kind. You can't
Starting point is 00:17:50 defend yourself. You can't say that you're not racist or that you did not intend something racially insensitive in what you said. You just have to take it. And black and brown people, you can say whatever you want to. That was some people's definition of racial reconciliation. And it's all hogwash. It is literally of Satan. That is a doctrine of demons. And I even heard the head of Be the Bridge. One time she gave an analogy. Her name is Latasha Morrison. She said, you know, if you wrecked my car, I expect you to pay for it.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Well, I didn't wreck your car. None of us did. So none of us are responsible to pay for. That's the whole idea of reparations that somehow white people, all white people of varying shades and varying backgrounds and varying ethnicities. are responsible to pay money to people who are black or brown of all different backgrounds and nationalities and ethnicities, like by what standard? You're not going to find a biblical standard of that. So anyway, I know that was kind of like a tangent unrelated to Cruz specifically,
Starting point is 00:19:02 but I just wanted to give you context for what that whole movement looked like because it seems like crew is still kind of playing a part in that idea. Oneness and diversity team is crew's effort to bring in staff members that represent diversity in ethnicity, gender, and generation. Their website reads, while real differences exist among Christians about how to approach questions of race, ethnicity, and culture, we believe there is much more that unites us as followers of Jesus. Oneness in our ethnic and cultural diversity reflects God's heart. And the Bible provides the categories we need to navigate historic and contemporary challenges
Starting point is 00:19:37 related to ethnicity, culture, and race. At the same time, the oneness and diversity presentation of the 2022 crew All-Saf Conference also detailed their strategy for multiplying BIPAC and female leaders. So they are incorporating DEI racial gender quota, racial and gender quotas in order to reflect more diversity. It's interesting how diversity only applies to skin color, it seems. Like white people are diverse. Black people are diverse in and of themselves. We all come from different backgrounds with different nationalities, different ancestors, different people, different socioeconomic classes. Why does diversity just of melanin count carry so much more weight?
Starting point is 00:20:27 Obviously, it has carried weight historically, unfortunately, in certain forms of institutionalized discrimination. But when it comes to biblical reconciliation and onness, like we need the gospel which tears down all different kinds of walls of hostility but this DEI quota nonsense is not going to get us there so here's the post-election letter to this group that crew sent Donald Trump's election for the second time is likely brought up a number of feelings among many of you we want to acknowledge the range of feelings that exist right now no matter who you voted for or didn't vote for what you felt since Tuesday night is valid Why? See, this is also just psychotherapy nonsense, this idea that all feelings are valid. It's not true. Some
Starting point is 00:21:17 feelings are valid. All feelings exist if you have them, but they're not all valid. Valid means rooted in truth. If you are seething with rage that Kamala Harris didn't become president, I don't think that's a valid feeling. You might feel frustration or disappointment. You might feel relieved. You might feel fear, betrayal, anger, or a number of any other emotions. These are all real emotions and we encourage you not to minimize what you're feeling but to process them in healthy ways sometimes the best way to process an emotion is to tell it to submit to Jesus to say okay my emotions might not be rooted in truth my emotions might exist but they shouldn't guide me and they don't need to be stewed on that is the problem with sEL today it makes us think too
Starting point is 00:22:03 much about our emotions to our own detriment and the detriment of others talk to safe people about your feelings. Safe people. Journal and pray. Unplug from social media. That's not the worst, that's not the worst piece of advice ever. We are one in Christ and also continually pursuing oneness with our fellow believers through the power of the Holy Spirit. The journey is not always easy. And right now, it's flat out difficult. The letter also points to a devotional written by their spiritual care coordinator's title, Heart Examination. The devotional begins with the Bible passage on grief, Isaiah 53, 3, grounding and deep breaths. And then a message on grief and anger. The letter ends, we love you and are in this with all of you. So the assumption there is that a
Starting point is 00:22:52 tragedy has befallen the black and brown members of Campus Crusade for Christ and to validate and affirm and even deepen their anger and sadness. I would not be. I would not be. opposed to a letter sent to everyone saying no matter how you feel about this election, our hope is in Christ and he rules. And that's what we are looking forward to. I mean, I even think they would say, like, we celebrate that someone is in office who will protect our border. We celebrate someone who is an office who will allow states to pass laws that protect
Starting point is 00:23:33 the lives of unborn children. We celebrate that the person who wanted to institutionalize men and girls' bathrooms and sports and locker rooms lost. We celebrate the fact that the woman who believed in institutionalizing taxpayer-funded abortion through all nine months lost. Like I think that those would be biblical positions. I don't even think those would be primarily political. I'd be fine with that. But even if they didn't want to go there, either no email at all or just an email saying, Jesus is king and we celebrate him for that and like we are moving forward with the mission of
Starting point is 00:24:11 crew. I think that would be fine. But basically validating people's mourning that the person who enabled Lake and Riley's murder and gleefully prosecuted pro-life journalists and tried to force pro-life pregnancy centers to advertise for abortion laws. I just don't see the Christian basis for something like that. I simply do not. They have a history of problematic things when it comes to this oneness and diversity, ethnic minority and BIPAC ministry fund. They created this ethnic ministry fund crew did where donors can specifically give money
Starting point is 00:25:03 to fund the ministry of ethnic minorities and BIPAC staff. This was contentious because it allowed minority staff members to receive supplemental funding rather than being required to raise all their own support, regardless of their socioeconomic status or location. So, for example, a white staff member from a poor community with, on average, less wealthy donors might struggle more to raise support than a black staff member from a rich suburb, only because the staff member was black. So he got that supplemental funding because of this ethnic diversity fund,
Starting point is 00:25:40 even if he was rich, even if it was one of Michelle and Barack Obama's daughters that decided that they were going to work for crew, like they would get this supplemental funding whereas the poor guy from Appalachia who didn't have any rich donors to go to for money, he wouldn't get the supplemental funding. So this is what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:26:01 when I am describing the partiality that crew is playing a role in a partiality that God hates, by the way, God hates partiality. The website says, partners of the ethnic minority fund play crucial role in ensuring minority staff members are fully supported. Help us ensure we have the right ministers in place to serve people from diverse backgrounds. I'm not saying actually that there is not a need for someone who looks like a community to go there and to be their minister. I do think there's something to that. We can all say that there shouldn't be. But I think that's just kind of human nature that maybe a black minister would be able to effectively minister to a black community better.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Let me say that again. maybe a black minister would be able to better minister to a black community. I think there's something to that, but you're basically punishing white people who want to be a part of your ministry by not giving them extra funding. And I just don't think that's good. I don't think that that is the impartiality that God calls Christians too. All right, we've got a little bit more on this in just a second. Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor for the day, and that is Magic Spoon.
Starting point is 00:27:29 So if you love cereal like Chief Relatorbrough and I do, but you don't want to be eating all the sugar and all the carbs and all of that every time you want a bowl of cereal, then you need to check out Magic Spoon.

If you go to magic spoon.com slash relatable, you can get $5 off your next order. Magic spoon.com slash relatable. We're just going to end on a little bit of a lighthearted note today. And this has to do with Taylor Swift, our girl Taylor Swift. Just kidding.
Starting point is 00:28:45 I don't really mean our girl. Bree is not even in the room right now. So she doesn't have to know that you and I see the problems with Taylor Swift. with Taylor Swift and the negative influence that she has on tens of millions of young women, especially with her like innocent persona. We understand it's very damaging. But she did suggest this story because she can, even though she is a Swifty herself, she can laugh at the ridiculous progressive things that she does or the things that happen at her concert.
Starting point is 00:29:18 So she kicked off the final leg of her long running heiress tour at the Roger Center in Toronto, Canada on Thursday, before she hit the stage, this massive sign, we'll put the picture up, appeared on the main screen, which read this. We acknowledge that we are performing today at Rogers Center located on Treaty 13 lands, traditional territory of the Mississauga's of the credit. What? And is that really what it says of the credit and the traditional home of many other nations, including the Anishana Beg, the Haredanasi, the Chippewa, and the Wendat peoples. We acknowledge the first nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, whose original and treaty territories we stand upon. And then she comes out and she says, let's get started. Like, it's just so
Starting point is 00:30:19 ridiculous. It's just a giant virtue signal. This doesn't do anything and maybe that's why they do it because they know that it's going to save them some, you know, some criticism by doing this kind of thing. Look, every single land on earth has been conquered at some point. The Indian tribes were warring each other long before Christopher Columbus came to America. They were saying. They were stealing land from each other in very torturous and barbarous in violent ways. By the way, this idea that the indigenous people to the United States were these like peaceful groups that just honored each other's land and their territories is is just not true. America was just another conquer and a long land or a long line of conquered.
Starting point is 00:31:19 What difference does it really make if tribes are warring against each other for their land and a foreign invader comes in and wars for their land? I mean, it's not Christopher Columbus's fault that they were very, that they were far more equipped than the indigenous people. And so I just find this acknowledgement quite, quite silly, this idea that we've heard over and over again that we have to give land back. to the indigenous people. Well, unfortunately, the reservations are some of the poorest and most crime-ridden, dangerous places in the United States. And you know who suffers from that? Women and children. Because alcoholism, the drug use, the abuse, the driving wall intoxicated that happened in many of these reservations, especially in places like Oklahoma. It's tragic. I mean, the child abuse is rampant in many of these places because they are not run by the same laws.
Starting point is 00:32:23 They are not given the same kind of accountability as people who live outside of those reservations. That's something that the Supreme Court decided several years ago. And that was just a social justice move that they hoped would appease the indigenous people. And it's actually made their lives a lot worse. And that's because social justice kills. And children are always the unconstantine subjects of progressive social experiments. So on the altar of social justice, the lives and safety of kids and women on these reservations have been risks.
Starting point is 00:32:55 You should go back and listen to a couple years ago. I did an episode about this with Naomi Riley, and we'll put the link in the description where she did a lot of research. What is really happening on these reservations and like this rhetoric that we just need to give more and more land back? Like, is that really benefiting these indigenous people? people. No, I certainly don't think so, and I don't think that the data bears that out. So just more silly virtue signaling by Taylor Swift. Bree is back. Oh, we only had positive things to say about Taylor Swift. Bree, don't worry. We didn't say anything bad about her. Don't tell her.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Okay, last sponsor for the day before we had out.
