'I was living a double life': Breaking free from LGBTQ sin



Richard Matthews is a formerly gay influencer and speaker who was fired from his job after posting about his faith. Now, he’s sharing his testimony and how the Lord saved him from his sin — including his battle with a pornography addiction.

“When you were 10 or 11, you were getting bullied and called feminine and gay because of how you talk. You decided to look it up on the internet to be like, ‘Why are people calling me this, what does this mean,’ and then sadly, that led you to being exposed to gay pornography,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” comments.

Matthews admits that he then became addicted to pornography and “kept it hidden.”

“I wouldn’t say I had the desire to be in pornography, I didn’t necessarily have a desire to be in homosexual, same-sex relationships, but as I continued to become in agreement with the enemy, with that sin, the Bible said sin becomes iniquity,” Matthews tells Stuckey, adding, “Iniquity is repeated sin that becomes your identity.”


After identifying as a homosexual for years, Matthews went into a recovery group at his church.

“There I learned that the Lord loved me, because all this time, I thought the Lord hated me, and I thought I couldn’t amount to what he was asking me to do,” he tells Stuckey, noting that he was still battling with the “idea of maybe potentially being a gay Christian.”

“Nothing was working, where my porn was wasn’t resolved, and I still had these desires and attractions,” he explains. “So I said a prayer in January of 2023, where I said, ‘Lord, I feel like I can’t change, and I feel like I can’t fully come to you and devote myself to you.’ I said, ‘If being gay and being Christian is not true, let me know and I’ll accept it.’”

“When I said that to the Lord, I heard him tell me to come to him, and that’s what it says in Matthew, ‘Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,’” he continues. “And I’m so thankful that I heard him, and he was able to really give me a new heart and transform me and all of those desires and everything started to go away around March.”

“I woke up one day like, I haven’t watched porn in two weeks, and so it was an act and a mercy and a grace and a miracle of God that he literally transformed my life and started to really transform my desires,” he adds.

And it’s not just himself who Matthews is worried about.

“People don’t really know that there is a spirit behind homosexuality, the agenda that is happening in our country and against our kids,” he explains, adding, “It’s not a new thing, it’s an old thing that has been talked about in the Bible, and so we have to overcome these principalities with the power of the Lord.”

Campus Crusade for Christ’s ‘Diversity Team’ sent a ridiculous post-election note — to BIPOC only



Campus Crusade for Christ, also known as Cru, is a college organization whose mission is reportedly to connect people to Jesus Christ. However, as of late, it seems that it's been more interested in connecting students with the woke agenda.

“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 Cru’s own position, but as a position that some Christians might hold, and, of course, they have been very supportive of the social racial justice movement over the past few years,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” comments.

After Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, things got even stranger — specifically with Cru’s “Oneness and Diversity” national team.

“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 option for Christians and that we should refer 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,” Stuckey says.


This “Oneness and Diversity” team also reportedly sent out a post-election letter, reportedly addressed only to its list of minority and BIPOC staff members. The letter was 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 sent it out to racial minorities only, and this is just something that we see in the legacy of 2020,” Stuckey explains.

“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 has roughly the same skin color as you,’” she continues.

“Which, of course, is just not the gospel. The truth is that both sides need to hear, ‘You are responsible for your actions, you are not responsible for the sins of your ancestors, you’re not responsible even for the victories and successes of your ancestors, you are not judged by these things, but you are judged by your own heart,’” she adds.

DEBATE: Should congressmen be allowed in women’s bathrooms?



House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced a new policy that explicitly states that transgender women must use the men’s bathroom and transgender men must use the women’s bathroom while in the Capitol.

This was in response to Representative-elect “Sarah” McBride, who identifies as a transgender woman, winning the Delaware seat.

“These are women’s spaces, and we should have a say. We shouldn’t have to bend to the rules of men who wear a skirt, who say that they have a right to infiltrate our spaces. I mean, these are private, sex-segregated spaces for a reason,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” comments.

Brad Polumbo of the “Brad vs. Everyone Podcast” disagrees.


“I just see the whole thing as a solution in search of a problem. Basically, they’ve been using the facilities of their gender identity for years and years,” he tells Stuckey. “Even when you zoom out and look across the country, instances of physical assault or voyeurism or harassment in bathrooms are incredibly statistically rare.”

“And these gender identity ordinances that they’ve passed in many blue areas that allow people to use their preferred bathroom, those don’t correspond with any increase empirically in those crimes, in those offenses, according to a whole host of studies,” he continues.

“So I view the whole thing as kind of a culture war outrage that’s solving a problem that isn’t really there,” he adds.

However, Polumbo appears to be making the mistake of seeing the situation solely from a male perspective — as there are legitimate reasons a woman wouldn’t want to share a bathroom with a man who believes he is a woman.

“We’re talking specifically about women,” Stuckey responds. “No man is really afraid of the 5'4” guy, or actually female, with a beard, because he’s been on testosterone for a few years coming into his bathroom.”

“It is, of course, women who are justifiably nervous about the 6'2” guy who happens to be wearing a skirt and lipstick coming into her bathroom not only with her, but also with her 10-year-old daughter. Also, while she may be breastfeeding, also while she may be pumping, while she may be changing, she may be doing things that, of course, require privacy. That’s why we have bathrooms,” she continues.

While Polumbo goes on to claim that conservatives' fear of transgender women in women’s bathrooms is the same as the fear of a Catholic priest molesting a child, Stuckey couldn’t disagree more.

“I don’t think that’s a good analogy, because it’s not only that we are saying that men who identify as women may violate these girls. I understand that not every man who identifies as a woman is going to inflict violence upon a girl or a woman. It’s not only that though. It is in violation of reality, it is in violation of the truth,” she explains.

“There is a cost to saying that ‘two plus two equals five.’ Now, you could say it doesn’t really harm you to say that ‘two plus two equals five,’” she continues, “but I believe in violation of the rules of nature and the laws of reality.”

Are leftist women less attractive? Why shaving their heads may not be necessary



The liberal reaction to Donald Trump’s win has been entertaining to say the least — in part because they are literally filming themselves in the midst of what can only be recognized as absolutely insane mental breakdowns.

“I know that you’ve seen these videos going around of these women who set their tripod and set up their phone, put it on their dashboard, whatever, just to cry and scream into the camera. I see that, and I’m like, 'Gosh, I’m so glad they did not get the political representation that they need,'” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” tells Megyn Kelly.

“Now, they’re vowing not to have sex, not to have kids, not to get married, to forfeit all of those things. Do you think that they’re serious about their commitment to chastity?” she asks.

Kelly does not believe these women are capable of sticking to it, but the men might be.


“Sadly no, because I think it’s a great idea in their case. I don’t think they should reproduce. We don’t need further generations of that weakness and hot messiness, and I don’t think they’re really going to have much opportunity though,” Kelly explains.

“I don’t get the impression from most of these videos that these ladies are beating them off with a stick,” she continues, before noting that some of them have even been filming themselves shaving their heads in protest of Trump’s win.

‘That’s why they feel comfortable shaving their hair,” she says. “It’s, like, no real difference.”

Meanwhile, conservative women, Kelly has noticed, tend to present themselves in a more attractive light.

“I don’t know what it is about conservatives, but by and large, it’s a very attractive group. They tend to be people who have their lives together, who care about grooming, who care about presentation,” she says.

When Kelly has made her way onto college campuses, she can usually tell where their political allegiance lies upon first glance.

“When somebody comes up to me on a college campus,” she explains, “I know they’re going to say ‘I’m a fan’ or ‘I don’t like you.’ If it’s an attractive woman, you can take it to the bank that it’s going to be a conservative.”

“So these leftist women who somehow think it’s a middle finger to the man to lean into unattractiveness are really only hurting themselves, and really, you know, hooking up and getting pregnant is probably the last thing they need to worry about,” she adds.

Why did Biden fly Laken Riley's murderer to Georgia?



Laken Riley was only 22 years old when she was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela.

The nursing student had innocently gone for a jog on the University of Georgia campus in Athens, Georgia, where 26-year-old Jose Ibarra then decided to take her life.

Ibarra was found guilty on all counts Wednesday morning in the fast-moving trial.

The prosecutor explained to the jury that the immigrant had been walking around different apartment complexes essentially hunting for a woman to rape, when he saw Laken Riley jogging by herself on a Sunday morning.

“She fought so hard for her life, she fought so hard for her dignity, she was almost completely unclothed,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” comments after listening to the prosecutor's opening statement.


“Because of how hard she fought, she wasn’t completely exposed, but when the police officer found her laying there with her skull crushed in by the rock that Ibarra allegedly picked up and hit her with, at least half of her body was completely naked because he tried and failed, thank the Lord, to rape her before murdering her,” Stuckey says.

Riley was reportedly wearing a smartwatch at the time, which revealed that her heart rate had spiked during the 17-minute attack.

Her attacker has been confirmed to be a member of Tren de Aragua, a dangerous Venezuelan gang that has infiltrated and plagued parts of America with extreme violence.

He had also been arrested by the NYPD a year after he entered the United States in August 2023, but not because he was here illegally. Rather, Ibarra was arrested because he committed the crime of acting in a manner to injure a child and had a motor vehicle license violation.

Now, it’s been revealed that Ibarra, along with other illegal immigrants, was granted a free humanitarian flight from New York to Georgia.

“So he was the beneficiary of Biden’s catch-and-release policy at the border. So he was detained when he tried to cross illegally in 2022, and then he was released into the interior of the United States per Biden’s policies, and then he was the beneficiary of a catch-and-release policy because of progressive soft-on-crime policies in New York,” Stuckey comments.

“And not only that, but he was actually given the gift, as a reward for the crimes that he had committed, he was given the gift of a free, taxpayer-funded flight from New York to Georgia, where he eventually killed Laken Riley,” she adds, disgusted.

Did Trump just stop the Great Reset?



The elite-driven Great Reset has been moving along with little resistance under the Biden administration, but Donald Trump’s election may be throwing a wrench in their plans.

“There’s been this massive movement amongst global elites to seize increasingly more power, to centralize power and ownership and wealth. That’s what the Great Reset is all about,” Justin Haskins, director of the Socialism Research Center at the Heartland Institute, tells Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable.”

“The Biden administration is all for it, they’ve been actively involved in it, they’ve been supportive in a variety of different ways,” Haskins continues, noting the Biden admin’s been working with the World Economic Forum, which he calls “the Great Reset people.”


“The Biden administration is actively working against us, never mind fighting in our favor. So the Trump administration is our only hope of solving that problem. We’re not going to be able to fix it without someone aggressively pushing back against the European Union and the U.N. and the World Economic Forum,” he explains.

This is why it was so essential that Donald Trump win this election, because what would happen to not just American citizens, but the world, had Harris continued Biden’s reign — it would have changed everything.

“A lot of the American elites, John Kerry’s been involved in this, Al Gore’s been involved in this, the Clintons, the Obamas, who have pushed this climate change agenda that they are hoping is part of what you’re calling a reset,” Stuckey responds, noting that the “reset” part is what’s most concerning.

“By a reset, kind of like starting from zero. Rebuilding a society where progressive elites are in charge. But how they’re selling it is an equitable society, an equal society where there’s no difference in income, no one is oppressed, no one is a victim of injustice,” she continues.

“So a lot of this has critical race theory tenets, even gender ideology, abortion plays a role in this. Like their vision of a kind of utopia or heaven on Earth where they have all the power and all of us underlings are just doing what we’re told,” she says.

Trump, who Stuckey calls a “disruptor,” is one of the major obstacles standing in their way.

“It’s not just that he’s not going to go along with it, it’s that his policies have been very proactive in trying to stop that sort of thing from occurring,” Haskins agrees. “There’s no question about it, what Trump wants to do is put individual liberty at the forefront of this.”

Is Chris Cuomo really as moderate as he seems? Megyn Kelly says he’s 'FAKING IT'



After leaving CNN and joining NewsNation, Chris Cuomo has come across as more of a moderate.

“I actually saw Chris Cuomo give a very good description of why people vote for Donald Trump,” Allie Beth Stuckey tells Megyn Kelly.

Cuomo has also been very pro-Israel and has even condemned COVID vaccines.

“Do you think that people like [Cuomo] who leave CNN and then all of a sudden become more fair and balanced — was it CNN that was influencing them, and they were just kind of lying because they had to at the time? Or do you think that they are lying now just to try to get a bigger audience?” Allie asks.

“100% it’s the latter,” says Kelly, who obviously knows a thing or two about mainstream media from her days at Fox.

“Chris Cuomo is faking it because he wants an audience. Go back and look at any night on ‘The Chris Cuomo Show’ when it was on CNN. He's as left as they come,” says Kelly, adding that “he comes from a party and a family of leftists.”

“Only now do his brother and Chris come out and try to flirt with the right because they both have careers that are in tatters,” she adds. “Chris Cuomo has about four viewers who watch him over on NewsNation, and he’s trying to increase his numbers because NewsNation is trying to be palatable to both the left and right.”

“But trust me when I tell you, this guy can't stand Trump, and he can't stand Trump supporters,” Kelly asserts.

Allie Beth Stuckey called out actress Sophia Bush on Instagram



Last night, pro-life warrior Allie Beth Stuckey faced off with actress Sophia Bush on Instagram over the subject of abortion.

Bush pushed the typical leftist talking point that abortion bans in certain states prevent women from getting life-saving care when they’re experiencing a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy.

Like so many pro-choice women, what Bush gets wrong is the difference between how insurance companies code procedures (often the word abortion is used) and what is actually illegal.

“A D&C IS AN ABORTION. It is THE SAME PROCEDURE,” Bush wrote on Instagram.

“Despite what the pro-forced birth folks want to tell you, these laws prevent doctors from giving care,” she ranted in a reel, before accusing Allie and other pro-lifers of having “blood on [their] hands.”

Of course, that’s far from correct.

“An abortion is the purposeful termination of the life of an unborn child, and that is exactly how it is defined in every pro-life law that has been passed since Dobbs, which means that there is no law in any state that is restricting or prohibiting miscarriage care or the removal of an ectopic pregnancy,” Allie explained in the following Instagram reel.

Bush referenced Nevaeh Crain and Josseli Barnica, two Texas women whose stories have become leftist propaganda, as they both died because doctors claim they were fearful of prosecution due to the Heartbeat Law.

Once again, this is false information. Allie explains that in both of these cases, neither woman sought an abortion and actually died due to medical negligence.

“They take these stories, they stoke fear, and they tell women that if you are pro-life, then you are for killing women,” Allie told Live Action founder and president Lila Rose on a recent episode of “Relatable.”

“There's not a single pro-life law in the country that prohibits emergency medical care to a mother that might involve an early delivery if it's an emergency or that prohibits miscarriage care or that prohibits care for an ectopic pregnancy,” Rose reiterated.

Warning, parents! Barbies from new ‘Wicked’ movie link to PORN site



Our children are under attack like never before. From leftist indoctrination in schools and drag queens in libraries to obscene LGBTQ+ “family-friendly” parades and the relabeling of sexual predators as minor attracted persons, the agenda to sexualize and destroy our children is blatantly obvious.

And now we have another atrocity to add to the list: Mattel’s new line of “Wicked” Barbies based on the up-and-coming movie starring Ariana Grande feature a link to a porn website on the back of the boxes.

Mattel is claiming that it was “just a giant mistake,” says Allie Beth Stuckey skeptically.

“If they are targeting kids — little girls ages 4+ — I think it is of utmost importance to get the link correct on the back of the box,” she says.

Although Mattel has issued a statement calling the incident an “unfortunate error” and promising the company is “taking immediate action to remedy this,” it’s hard to believe that this wasn’t intentional.

“I cannot imagine something like this slipping through the cracks at a place like Mattel. You've got so many hands and so many eyes that a product like this has to go through,” says Allie, pointing out that this “misprint” has major consequences.

“It's not just like it got sent to some unpurchased domain and it was just, you know, a letter off. … This was an entire word off, and you would think that there would be someone employed at Mattel or someone on the ‘Wicked’ production end of things that would have tested the URL,” she criticizes.

Currently, the products are “no longer available” or appear to be “out of stock” on vendors’ websites. Mattel has also advised that consumers who have already purchased the product “discard their packaging.”

Even still, many are not convinced that this was actually a misprint.

Libs of TikTok certainly isn’t. In a tweet posted last Sunday, the account expressed its skepticism.

Allie agrees and recalls the semi-recent Balenciaga scandal when the company created a line of bondage/BDSM teddy bear handbags. Some of the advertising included children. One ad also featured the documents for “a Supreme Court decision that involved child sex abuse material.”

Like Mattel, Balenciaga claimed it was “just a giant mistake.”

While she hopes she’s wrong, Allie thinks that there are people at these mega corporations who are “sick and twisted and nefarious.”

Moral relativism isn’t courage: Why Christians should celebrate Trump’s victory



Liberals were fragile before Trump’s win, and they’re even more fragile now. So fragile, in fact, that some Christians are asking Trump supporters to temper their celebrations in order to spare the left’s feelings.

“Christians, Whether your candidate wins or loses, there will still be hurting people who need you to give them hope and be a sober and thoughtful advocate for them. Don’t let the outcome defeat you or compel you to pretend the battle is won. Avoid bitterness and triumphalism,” political strategist Justin Giboney wrote in a post on X.

While Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” agrees that we should avoid bitterness or pretending that the spiritual battle has been won, she thinks this messaging is attempting to make voters feel guilty “for being happy and rejoicing.”

And Giboney wasn’t the only one trying to steer Christians from celebration.



“Presidential election results. Having delivered us from one evil, God now tests us with another. ‘The Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.’ Deuteronomy 13:3,” Pastor John Piper wrote in a post on X.

“I don’t think these cryptic messages are all that helpful, and he wrote an article back in 2020 which he recently reposted arguing that yes, abortion is evil, but Trump’s personality is equally as evil and is also a curse to our nation,” Stuckey explains. “Pastor John, they are not the same thing.”

“The other person’s policies, which affect our children, our grandchildren, our neighbors, the most vulnerable among us, were far more wicked and disorderly,” she continues. “I think some Christians think that moral relativism is courage, and it’s not. It’s actually a form of confusion and cowardice.”

“Certainly, I don’t think that John Piper is a coward, but I do think that his interpretations of the election in this current political moment is lacking wisdom,” she adds.
