Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1407 | Big Announcement: I've Never Done Anything Like This Before

Starting point is 00:00:00 I was speaking at a pro-life conference and I was sitting on a panel with some other speakers. And as one of the other speakers was talking, I just had an idea. Come to my mind. I went to dinner with my husband right after that. And I told him, I was like, I had this idea. And I was so excited about it. I have a lot of ideas. Chief Related Roeb could tell you that. Very few of them ever come to fruition. Very few of them actually excite me. Actually, most of the time I think about them in the middle of the night and by the time I wake up in the morning, I'm like, totally forgot. There was just something inside me where I was like, yes, this is actually something that I want to do.

Starting point is 00:00:31 Hey, y'all, welcome to Relatable. Happy Monday. Hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far, especially those of you who I got to see over the weekend at Share the Arrow's. It was an amazing day. And I would love to play just some highlights. We don't have the like official video yet, but just some highlights from this day. Why do we come to share the arrows to get clarity and courage?

Starting point is 00:01:04 Clarity very simply comes from knowing God and his word. And courage comes from trusting. God and His work. If God is for us, who can be against us, this God who is love, who is kindness, who is righteousness, who is compassion, if that God is for me, then what he tells me to do, what he tells me to say, what he tells me is right, and what he tells me is wrong is for my good and is done in love. You have to trust it. Thank you to all of you, all the many, many thousands of who showed up and flew from all around the world, I told you guys here that I would not be keeping a secret from you what we announced at Share the Arrows forever, but that we would

Starting point is 00:01:52 tell you eventually. And so here I am telling you about what chief related bro and I, what Timothy and I have been working on since January of 2025. I want to play a video for you that we have also been working on for a while that introduces our new app, Anna Kate. Early in Girlhood, we were fed messages about our bodies. Too big, too small. Too much, not quite enough. We heard a lot about how our bodies look. Very little about what our bodies are for. Then womanhood arrived. Enter embarrassment. We learned what a woman should be from sources that only offered us confusion. and don't forget the birth control pill.

Starting point is 00:02:41 For all kinds of symptoms, most of our doctors prescribed it. Later, college came, our career started, and motherhood was presented by much of the world as an inconvenience, rather than a gift. For many of us, we had to work hard to buck these toxic messages and instead choose a path of commitment and sacrifice. But today, things have only gotten more confused. confused. In many spaces, woman has become a dirty word, replaced with people, as in pregnant people and people with periods. Promiscuity is seen as a right of passage, a form of liberation. Marriage is characterized as, at best, an optional partnership based on feelings and, at worst, a form of oppression. A baby is viewed as a

Starting point is 00:03:27 burden to avoid or a right any adult is entitled to. Even science has become politicized, with many experts refusing to acknowledge the unique of the female body. It shouldn't be this way. This is where life is created in this room. It doesn't have to be this way. Introducing Anna Kate, a cycle and pregnancy tracking app to track what's true. Most tracking apps on the market today are either neutral or hostile to the truth.

Starting point is 00:04:15 Anna Kate has partnered with like-minded medical professionals to bring you biologically grounded, biblically rooted insights into your period, fertility, and or pregnancy. This app is about connection to your creator, to your body, and to others who share your values. And our interactive prayer board connects a community of women walking the same path you are. With Anna Kate,

Starting point is 00:04:34 you'll be equipped with truth, grounded in wisdom, and encouraged by community. No matter what season you're in, Anna Kate is here to give you insight into your body by tracking what's true. Anna Kate, for women,

Starting point is 00:04:49 for life. Anna Kate is a pro-life Christian period and pregnancy tracking app, whether you are just period tracking, or whether you're trying to conceive or whether you're trying not to conceive naturally or whether you are pregnant and you're tracking your pregnancy

Starting point is 00:05:14 or whether you are in those several weeks postpartum, this is a place for you to get wisdom and insight into your body and into the God who created you. And you saw some of this on that promotional video, but the reason this is different is not because it's a pregnancy or period tracker. There are a lot of those out there. Some of them are totally hostile to our,

Starting point is 00:05:37 belief system. Some of them come across as more neutral, but we are offering something that is unapologetically, pro-marriage, unapologetically, pro-baby, unapologetically, pro-life, and for male and female and the uniqueness of the female body and pregnancy and everything that it entails. And we are bringing like-minded Christian women together in our prayer board. That's one of my favorite features in the app that you can put your prayer. out there and someone can commit to praying for you. And I just want to tell a little bit about why we started this app and like how all of this began. I told you that this is different than anything I've ever done before. And it really is. Like I never thought that I would be in the

Starting point is 00:06:24 tech space or creating an app. But I was speaking at a pro life conference, which I do a lot throughout the year. And it was in Washington, D.C., January of 25. And I was sitting on stage and I was, I had already done my keynote speech and then I was sitting on a panel with some other speakers. And as one of the other speakers was talking, I just had an idea, come to my mind. And it was like a pro-life Christian pregnancy and period tracking app. And it was probably because my husband and I were talking about maybe adding a fourth to our family. And I was just thinking about all of the tracking apps that I've used in the past and how I don't like them. I either don't like how they look or I don't like how they work or I don't like

Starting point is 00:07:06 the messages or the images that they're pushing. I don't like the gender neutral language. I don't like not being able to trust that they are giving me biologically accurate and biblically sound information about my body in pregnancy because they might be pushing a gender neutral or gender confused agenda or an anti-marriage or anti-baby or pro-abortion agenda. You shouldn't have to look at that in at really ever, but especially in these very vulnerable seasons of life where you're trying to conceive or when you're overjoyed because you're carrying life inside the womb. And so that was the idea that popped into my head. And then I went to dinner with my husband right after that. We were in D.C. We went to a sushi restaurant. And I told him,

Starting point is 00:07:51 I was like, I have this idea. And I was so excited about it. I have a lot of ideas. Chief related brook could tell you that. I have a lot of ideas. And very few of them ever come to fruition. Very few of them actually excite me. Actually, most of the time I think about them in the middle of the And by the time I wake up in the morning, I'm like, totally forgot what I was even thinking about or dreaming about. But this one, there was just something inside me where I was like, yes, this is actually something that I want to do. And so sat down with Timothy and I said, okay, I have an idea.

Starting point is 00:08:19 I have an idea and just kind of like, I know generally what it looks like a Christian pro life period and pregnancy tracking app. And he immediately, as he does, was like, that's an amazing idea. I know exactly who to connect to. he connected to a good friend that we have at our church, who then knew exactly who to connect us to, who is a Christian in the tech space, has been for a long time, who then connected us with a group of engineers and other Christians in this space, who helped us figure out, okay, technically, what is this actually going to look like?

Starting point is 00:08:56 The mission behind it, the heart behind it, the words behind it, the creative vision behind it. that's all something that I was confident that through the Lord I could bring to the table. But building an app, not something that I know about, not something that I can actually do. And of course, there were so many health aspects to this. Yes, as a woman who is, I'm pregnant with my fourth child. Of course, there's a lot that I know. But also, I wanted to have medical expertise. I wanted there to be pro-life practitioners, OBGYNs, midwives, doulas that help me and provide

Starting point is 00:09:31 wisdom and insight so that this can be a scripturally sound scientifically accurate resource for Christian women. And that's what we have built since January of 2025 with Anna Kate. Quick pause to tell you about our first sponsor. It's WeHeart Nutrition. I love WeHeart Nutrition. I've been telling you about how awesome and they and all of their ingredients are for a long time. But it's not just me saying that their entire supplement line has earned the Clean Label Project Purity Award. Products are purchased anonymously by Clean Label Project, independently tested for purity, including testing for 400 plus contaminants, and must rank among the top performing products

Starting point is 00:10:16 in their category to earn the award. I love these supplements. They've made me feel so good this pregnancy. My blood work has never looked better. I really credit WeHeart Nutrition with that. I love that I'm not only getting the vitamins and minerals I need, but that the quality is so high. If you go to Weheartnutrition.com, you can use my code Alley for 20% off your first order.

Starting point is 00:10:36 Weheartnutrition.com code Alley. At some point, I will tell you all of the details of how the Lord orchestrated this and brought all the right people together and the timeline of everything. And I don't know that I would have necessarily chosen all of this to be like launching an app and planning an event and about to give birth to a baby all at the same time. But the Lord really has been so gracious and putting. together every detail. This is not only something that I want to be a resource, of course, for every Christian woman, whether they follow me or not. The prayer is that it goes so far beyond

Starting point is 00:11:15 me, that this is not a relatable product. This is not a subsidiary of the podcast or the relatable brand or anything like that. It's something that I hope goes far beyond Ali Beth Stucky into the hands of people who have never listened to the podcast, who have never read me before, but they go to it because this is a place where they can find peace, peace with their bodies, peace with their creator through Christ, where they can see gospel truth. They're reminded of scripture every day of biblical truth, biblical encouragement, where they can find resources about their bodies, fertility, pregnancy, birth, periods, all of these things. Yes, from a scientific angle, but also from a scripturally sound one. Yes, I want it to be all of those

Starting point is 00:11:57 things. But I also want this to be an evangelistic tool. One thing that we've thought about from the beginning is how can we partner with pregnancy centers? You all have heard me talk about pregnancy centers from the beginning of relatable. They're just something that I'm passionate about that I love helping I have through you guys and your generosity have supported many, many pregnancy centers all across the country who are helping save women's lives. And I want Anna Kate this app to be used by them. I want them to be able to give these women this app, free access to this app, that women who are deciding whether or not to choose life, that they're going to read,

Starting point is 00:12:38 that their baby, that they are made in God's image, that they were intricately made in their mother's womb, that that is also true of their baby. I want them to see and know the scientific reality of life inside the womb and also understand the spiritual value of who they are and who their baby is. And another part of this also is that I wanted this to be a connecting place

Starting point is 00:13:01 for pro-life Christian, practitioners. So if you're a midwife, if you're a doula, if you're an OBGYN, if you're a nutritionist, if you are a biblical counselor, if you are really anyone in the realm of women's health, we have a directory. And you have to agree at the very least with these two things. One, that we are only made male and female, only women can get pregnant. Okay. And that all people are made in God's image from the moment of conception onward. Okay. If you can affirm those two things, Those are the two qualifications for being on this directory. And a lot of people are like, well, how do you know everyone is being real about that?

Starting point is 00:13:41 People aren't going to put their name and their face next to those two statements on the app unless they really believe it. And it's just so beautiful already seeing so many of these practitioners be able to come together and connect to like-minded clients. So you can see the values aligned practitioners that are in your area through the directory. and we have so many dreams for like how this can grow and how we can reach more women and how the Lord can use this. But we are so excited about where we are starting. There's been a lot just like there is in launching any business or any app or any project. Like there have been times where we were like, okay, it would, it would be better if we launched it then or if we launched it earlier, there was a time where we thought we would launch it several months before share the

Starting point is 00:14:27 arrows. And I was like, it's just not, it's not right yet. It's not there yet. I really, really care about serving you well, about serving Christian women well. And it was really, really important to us to get it to a place where it's doing just that. And we will continue to get your feedback and improve and grow and all of these things. But I'm just so thankful for Anna Kate. And a little about the name Anna Kate, because you might be wondering where that comes from or why we chose that. and I was thinking, I was wrestling in the beginning with like, okay, what would we call this? This is one of the first things I did, by the way, because this is where I, this is where I shine. I like to think of names and, you know, marketing schemes and things like that.

Starting point is 00:15:11 I love marketing and PR and branding and creative and all of that. And so from the very beginning, I was like, I need to give this name. I don't want to just call it the app. And so I took out my Bible. I took out my journal. And I started thinking of the English words. that I wanted to describe this app. Peace, rest, rhythm, respite. Like, what are those words in scripture? Where do I see them show up in scripture? And what are the Hebrew and the Greek

Starting point is 00:15:41 equivalence? Like, how do I say this in the original Greek or Hebrew in the Bible? And so I did that. And I came across a Greek word in Matthew 1128. And that is an apais. It's a little bit strange how you say, anna pousis. If you read it like in our English dialect, we'd probably say anapossus. And what this means is rest. Matthew 1128 says, come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. There are different kinds of rest in scripture, but that rest is anna pausis. And there are different ways to define it. But in general, it means that you are resting even while you are inwardly toiling. This kind of like an active kind of rest, a rest that we find in Christ.

Starting point is 00:16:33 And then there's another kind of rest that we see, for example, in the book of Hebrews, and that is Catapausis, or we would probably say it if we just read it, catapossus. And that is also Greek for rest. But this is a ceasing from striving. This is the kind of rest that we look forward to in heaven. one day in Christ. We aren't, we aren't getting this rest. We don't have access to this kind of rest here today, but it is the future rest that we get to look forward to. So we have an opalcese and katah pausis. These are two different forms of rest, both of which are found in Christ. And when women go to this app, I want them to feel just aesthetically peaceful. I want them to feel restful. When you go to a lot of these tracking apps, it's really stressful. It's chaotic. It's chaotic. Some of them were just straight up ugly. It was really important to me that this was aesthetically pleasing and that it was beautiful

Starting point is 00:17:27 and peaceful. And then also that you would be reminded of these timeless truths in God's word that gave that inward rest and that remind us of the rest that we will have one day when all of the cycles and the pain of childbirth and the striving to get pregnant. All of those things will one day come to an end and a joyous end because there will be no more anxiety. There will be no more of the stress and the endless toil that we are used to here in this life. But there will be perfect peace and perfect vases. Jesus rules forever and ever. And so it shortened to Anna Kate. I love me a double name. My name is Ali Beth. And Anna Kate is also a

Starting point is 00:18:10 person. Like she is your older sister. She is a sage that is guiding you through period tracking, through your pregnancy, through postpartum, with, again, scientific wisdom and biblical insight. Next sponsor is Concerned Women for America. The midterms are coming up. Maybe you're like, okay, I want to be able to defend my position. I want to know what's going on in this election. You need to get involved with concerned women. They are the largest Christian organization, American Christian women's organization,

Starting point is 00:18:45 and works to equip women and families to pray, educate, advocate for biblical values in our culture and public policy. One of the most important issues we can be equipped to speak about is the sanctity of life. They have this newly rewritten edition of their sanctity of life booklet to equip young women for conversations we're facing today. It helps explain why every human life has value, why protecting the unborn matters, how Christians can speak about life with both conviction and compassion. So whether you're a parent, student, church leader, or you just want to better prepare

Starting point is 00:19:16 to defend life, this resource is for you. You can get your copy with a gift of $25. Go to concernwomen.org slash alley. So you can follow us on Instagram and a Kate app. And yeah, I just ask for your prayer. I ask that the Lord would be glorified through this, that women would be reached, that there would be pregnancy centers

Starting point is 00:19:43 and the women who come through those pregnancy centers who are served, practitioners, who are connected to just the right person at just the right time, that these resources educate and edifference, women and yeah, I'm just so grateful for the opportunity and for the idea and very, very grateful to Chief of Laderbrough and our entire team. Chief of Laderbrough, I mean, he made this happen. Like he made it happen. He runs the show. It would not have happened without him. Like so

Starting point is 00:20:11 many of the things that I say and so many of the things that I come up with, it would have just, I don't know. It would have just never come to fruition because I think of a lot of things. but he is such a good leader in just making these things happen. He is the one that actually executes on things and makes them successful. And I'm so thankful for the team that came together and has been just tirelessly building this. There is so much that I've learned, y'all, about technology and everything. And one of my favorite parts, oh, one of my, I know it's kind of like all over the place because I'm just so excited about it all. But another set of people that I want to, that I want to think are the OBB,

Starting point is 00:20:52 GYNs and the midwives and the doulas that were a part of a really special part of this app, a very special piece that I just saw the Lord's Hand in so much were these pregnancy videos. So pregnancy update videos every week of pregnancy, four weeks to 42 weeks. It was very important as someone who always goes over my due date for everything to go to 42 weeks, not just 40 weeks, that give you insight into what's going on with your body, what's going on with your baby, what you need to be thinking about, what you need to be doing at this time. And those women have provided a lot of wisdom and insight and guidance and correction when needed and have helped me really understand, like, what does this app technologically and

Starting point is 00:21:34 scientifically need in order to serve women accurately and well? So if you are pregnant or not pregnant, you can actually access that through the resources button on Anna Kate. And you can watch all of those videos. They're very just beautiful. beautifully done. Thank you to Brady Clayton as well. Like he is such an awesome editor and videographer who helped with all of our videography here. And, um, yeah, Anna Kate, could at Anna Kate. If you are related bro, make sure that the related girl in your life gets Anna Kate. Um, and one other thing I, I want to say and make sure that you know is that the reason why there is like a low cost subscription to this is because another way we want to serve you well. Next I want to get

Starting point is 00:22:18 into why we built this app and some of it has to do with the competition that exists and the mission that they are pushing and the lives that they are ruining by really propagating all types of false and negative messages to women, even Christian women. Let me read you a text that I got from one of my friends. Now, this is a story from her. I'm not able to verify whether or not there is. is a connection here, but I think it may be likely based on the content that this particular app is pushing. So here's what my friend texted me. She said, I would love to try out your app. I was telling

Starting point is 00:23:00 her about it before it was launched. And she said, I used natural cycles for a couple of years. And when I recorded that my last pregnancy was unexpected, suddenly I was getting ads for abortion centers on Snapchat and other social media. She said, I've tried a few other apps. I haven't loved them. Now, I do not know if Natural Cycles is selling that kind of data to those entities that are then selling that data to places like Planned Parenthood and abortion clinics to send you advertisements. I don't know. I do know based on what Natural Cycles does say on their app that they are pro abortion. So let me give you some examples of this because I know that this is an app that a lot of you use. And there are some good aspects of it because you like that it helps you track

Starting point is 00:23:47 cycle, it's very sophisticated and it's charting and things like that. But here is what we are supporting when we're using natural cycles. They have articles promoting abortion, directing its users to plan parenthood for abortions and linking directly to their site. For example, there's an article titled, What is Abortion? To access these methods, you may need to visit a hospital or a clinic such as planned parenthood. Natural cycles has a description of abortion in this article that it completely eliminates the unborn baby from the description. So it says, suction abortion is, quote,

Starting point is 00:24:23 a quick abortion procedure that involves a delicate suction process that empties the uterus. This usually takes around five to ten minutes and you can usually go home within a few hours of the procedure. That mimics almost exactly what Planned Parenthood says on its own website. For dilation and evacuation, that's a D&E abortion. Natural Cycle says this type of. in-clinic abortion procedure uses suction and medical tools to empty the uterus, empty the uterus. Okay, think about that.

Starting point is 00:24:52 Think about what that is a euphemism for. DNA is usually used later in pregnancy and takes around 10 to 20 minutes to complete. Most people will be able to go home the same day. Next sponsor is crowd health. I have seen how the health insurance industry doesn't seem to be built to actually care for families. That's why we switched from traditional health insurance to crowd health. they put the care back in health care with a community-focused, low-cost alternative.

Starting point is 00:25:24 I signed up. I've experienced how empowering it is to have real advocates on your side. There are a community of people who have decided to stop letting profit-driven insurance companies call all the shots. You've got personal care advocates, bill negotiators, you don't have any networks or restrictions. It's amazing. Together, crowd health members have already saved over $56 million. Be part of the community focused on advocating for your family's health. join crowd health today to get $99 a month. You'll get started for $99 a month for the first three months using my code Alley.

Starting point is 00:25:55 CrowdHaltop.com code Alley. CrowdHalt is not insurance opt out. Take your power back. This is how we win. Join crowdhelp.com code Alley. So you might think, well, that's not all that bad. That's not celebrating abortion. It's sanitizing abortion.

Starting point is 00:26:14 Again, if you go to the Planned Parenthood website, this is almost exactly how they're describing these abortion procedures. And they will even say things like pregnancy tissue, emptying the uterus. These are all euphemisms for killing an unborn child. And yes, I know a DNC can also be used for a miscarriage, but we're talking about a dilation and evacuation abortion. Like we are talking about vacuum suction being used to take out a baby and even natural cycles admits this is later in pregnancy. So we're talking late in the first trimester through the second trimester, this is a method that's typically used and how they talk about it. And linking to Planned Parenthood is completely and totally pro-abortion. I don't know

Starting point is 00:27:00 the fullness of the partnership between natural cycles and Planned Parenthood, but clearly there's one there. And then we have the Flow app. Flow maintains a statement titled Flows position on abortion that begins being able to access a safe abortion is a crucial part of care. Okay. So they are hiding it and they're not hiding it. Okay. They're hiding it because again, they use these euphemisms. Being able to access a safe abortion is a crucial part of health care. Health care. Abortion is not health care because it is killing the life of a child. And then we have Ovea. Ovea has an entire abortion section in its reproductive health library. Current articles include what is a medical abortion and how to access one and preparing for pregnancy and states with

Starting point is 00:27:46 abortion bans and restrictions. Again, doesn't hide it. Ovea Health says this. The abortion bans in many states do not have exceptions for these situations. These laws can be confusing cause delays in care of the pregnant person. So many things there. Like, what are we even talking about? Knowing your state's guidelines and where you can travel to safely get the care you need, again, we're talking about ending the life of an image bearer of God. It's post-abortion guide tells readers what emotions to expect after an abortion. It can also include, they say, immense relief. So abortion, according to natural cycles, according to flow, according to Ovia,

Starting point is 00:28:27 it is as bad as getting a tooth pulled and as great as finding relief, as getting something fixed, getting something solved in your life. Then you have Yuki, E-U-K-I. they have a built-in abortion provider search. So Anna Kate has a pro-life practitioner directory search. They have an abortion provider search. After the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, many of these apps also made statements saying they would not disclose the info of users who had abortions in states where it was illegal.

Starting point is 00:29:01 So Clue, for example, Clue was very against the overturning of Roe v. Wade. They said, at Clue, we strongly believe that the very personal decision to end a pregnancy. there's no babies involved in any of these descriptions at all. Like you would have no, if you didn't know, like if you didn't understand the English language or you had no context for this, you wouldn't even know what they're talking about. What is ending a pregnancy? Even like a child would read something like that and be like, wait, what?

Starting point is 00:29:28 What are you talking about? Like there's some, there's obviously something that's missing here. So clue says should be made, this decision should be made in the context of legal, regulated healthcare without shame or fear of prosecution, no U.S. court or other authority can simply override that since we are not based in the U.S., our user data cannot be subpoenaed from the U.S. Lowe also responded to the Dobbs decision launching an anonymous mode. Okay, so they're trying to protect you from the big bad government who wants to protect these babies inside the womb. Now, this is all opposed to Anna Kate. Anna Kate, our type of

Starting point is 00:30:07 tagline is for women for life, four women for life. And those kind of have two meanings. We are for women and that we are for women. We exist for women. And we are for life. We are for the life of a woman. But we are also advocates for. So we are also for women. We are for you. We're cheering you on. And we are for life. We are advocates for life. It's four women and for life. We believe that all babies, no matter the circumstances surrounding their conception, no matter their age, matter their size are fully made in God's image and should be protected fully. They are fully people and therefore they are deserving of our care and they are deserving of legal protection. And we are not ashamed of that. We don't caveat that Anna Kay is for women and for life. Now,

Starting point is 00:30:56 of course, it's never just abortion. It's never just abortion that any entity is supporting. there is, where there is some disorder, there's going to be other kinds of disorder. And so you see in these apps that also can't even muster an accurate definition of abortion and a clear picture of what abortion is doing and taking the life of a baby inside the womb, that there's also confusion about what a woman even is. You would think that these apps that are apparently created for a woman cycle would just be able to say woman or mother, but a lot of them can't. And a lot of them are confused about like what,

Starting point is 00:31:33 makes a baby and like what marriage is or they're just trying to be as neutral as possible about this, which I think fosters confusion too. You guys know I'm all about clarity. This app is all about clarity. Natural cycles operates a substantial sex education and sexual pleasure section. Okay. About half of its sex and pleasure library features images of lesbian couples. Okay, I just want to say that again. Half, half. This is an app that is supposed to help you get pregnant. Okay. And half of the depictions in these articles are of two people who cannot make a baby. Okay. Half of its sex and pleasure library features images of lesbian couples. All right. You also, I don't, I can't even like tell you all of these. Okay. There's just some examples. And it's all, it's very raunchy. Okay. These articles about sexual pleasure and how to pleasure your partner, all of these depictions of lesbians. Um, also, the site publishes material on BDSM kinks involving consensual, non-consensual sex,

Starting point is 00:32:40 stating that these kinds of fantasies are, quote, normal. Okay? So even these apps like natural cycles that appear to be neutral are so not neutral. They are not neutral. They are hostile to the biblical worldview. We at Annacate, we believe in marriage. We believe in marriage between one man and one woman. We are not afraid to say woman. We are not afraid to say that only women have periods. We are not afraid to say you have to be a mom to give birth. Like it's crazy how that has become controversial. But we are completely unapologetic and unwavering about that. Preborn has incredible news. They have saved over 50,000 babies this year with more than 5,100 commitments to Christ through their ministry. That is such an amazing movement that you guys are a part of just by donating

And then another popular app, OVIA, maintains an LGBTQIA plus family planning section features same-sex couples using donor sperm, IUI, IVF to have children. It also publishes resources for trans, quote unquote, individuals, such as one titled Managing Your Period as a Transgender Queer or Non-Pinary Person.

Starting point is 00:34:27 It's exhausting. Yuki describes his app in gender ideological terms, a free gender-inclusive privacy-first, period-tracking app and reproductive health tool. Lowe's Health Library currently has dedicated LGBTQ plus category that features articles with titles like the best lesbian sex toys. Trans period. I feel like I can't even fully say this because they just gross me out how to navigate your period when you're trans or non-binary.

Starting point is 00:34:54 Clu says its app was designed to include all pregnant people. Pregnant people. Gosh, is there a word for that? Is there a word for the kind of person who can get pregnant? I don't know. Because some people, they say it, they just say it. actually. Some people who don't identify as women can become pregnant and birth. Clue explains that except when discussing studies specifically conducted on women,

Starting point is 00:35:18 it uses the phrase pregnant people to encompass all women non-binary and transgender people who can become pregnant. It also says pregnancy can produce gender dysphoria for transgender and gender non-conforming users. And so if you're a Christian woman and if you're ever just like, can we not have one thing? Like can we not just have one place where we are not having to jump hurdles and go through hoops to just, like, read accurate information and to just be able to be told what is true. Like sometimes you might not even be looking for the biblical truth that we also offer at Anna Kate, but you're just looking for like accurate information, accurate language.

Starting point is 00:35:55 And you can't even get that because they're covering things in euphemisms and this very confusing language. Let me read you our statement of faith. Anna Kate is a family owned and operated company rooted in the Christian faith. Our mission reflects the truth that God is creator of all things, including our bodies. He made people in his image in exactly two sexes, male and female. We affirmed that these are biological and immutable designations that cannot be changed via declaration or medical alteration.

Starting point is 00:36:26 Both men and women have equal value, but their own unique functions. Only women have the ability to have a cycle, get pregnant, and birth babies. We view all babies as blessings from the moment of conception onward. We honor marriage as the sacred union of a man and a woman and sex as a gift meant only for marriage. That's why Anna Kate unapologetically states that we are four women and for life. The four in our motto, as I said earlier, has two meanings, exist for and advocates for. We exist for women and we are advocates for women. We exist for the whole life of a woman and we are advocates for the life she may be created

Starting point is 00:36:59 in her womb. Our most foundational belief at Anna Kate is this. The same God who created us also made a way to save us. He sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and rise again three days later so that whoever believes in him wouldn't die but have eternal life. Each of these convictions drives who we are in everything we do at Anna Kate. If you're looking for a values-aligned resource and community to help you understand your body, your cycle, fertility, or your pregnancy, join the Anna Kate family and start to track

Starting point is 00:37:28 what's true today. Anna Kate for women for life. That is the belief statement, the clear mission that we have on our website and everywhere that she will find us. That's another one of our taglines. Track what's true. Track what's true. Track what is true biblically.

Starting point is 00:37:45 Track what is true scientifically. We have so much coming down the pipeline for this app. And I have no doubt, first of all, like we are very aware of spiritual opposition. Like we are very aware that, look, there are powers that be spiritual. and political and probably like economic powers that don't want an app like this to be successful and reach women and to tell them what's true. Propaganda has a really big market share, but we're not going to let them have a monopoly. And so the best way that you can help me share the arrows, the best way that you can help

Starting point is 00:38:26 annotate and not just, you know, joining the app because it's great to have more users, but really you can help advance our mission. Like you can help be ambassadors for this. This is part of how we push back against darkness. There are so many ways to do that. You don't have to start a business. You don't have to have a conference. You don't have to have a podcast.

Starting point is 00:38:47 You certainly don't have to be a political activist to push back against darkness. But this is one way that we feel the Lord has called us to do this through Anna Kate. So thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. As you can see, there's a lot of darkness. a lot of confusion, a lot of deception out there. And from the very beginning, Satan has had it out for people in general as God's image

Starting point is 00:39:09 bearers and as the recipients of like his special love toward us. But it seems like he especially enjoys, if I can say, deceiving women and targeting children. I think that's why so many of these things have become distorted and perverted, like the gift of sex, marriage, childbearing, pregnancy, and all of that, like Satan is just having a heyday confusing us about all of those things. And we have to push back with clarity. I want Anna Kate to be a refuge of clarity and courage for Christian women. So I just really encourage you to join us.

Starting point is 00:39:49 You can follow us on Instagram. You can go to Anna Kate.com. I'm sure there are things as I'm like so excited to be talking about this to you for the first time that I forgot to mention that I will be talking. about more in the days and the weeks to come. It's been super fun for me to be pregnant and to be able to use this app. So I'll be talking about that more on social media and like the different features I love and how I've been using it because it really has just been such like a special joy. Like thank you Lord for that gift of both of these things happening at the same time. And I really

Starting point is 00:40:22 hope and pray that it's a blessing to you. Last sponsor is Good Ranchers. Holidays are coming up. I don't know if you're excited. I'm so excited.
