Pastor goes scorched-earth on ‘pronoun hospitality’



Donald Trump’s election revealed plenty about those who voted against him, and Pastor John Piper was no exception. The pastor reacted to the win in a post on X, writing, “Having delivered us from one evil, God now tests us with another.”

While Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” was disappointed in Piper’s response, the pastor has quickly earned himself a place back in her good graces after showing that while he might not like Trump, he doesn’t buy into the left-wing insanity either.

This was made crystal clear in a recent episode of “Ask Pastor John,” in which the pastor was asked what to do when confronted with the question of using “gender pronoun hospitality” on a local campus.

Allie says John Piper stated that “the entire idea of ‘gender pronoun hospitality’ is a misleading slogan" and that "connecting the beautiful biblical word ‘hospitality’ with the unbiblical concept of gender pronouns is unhelpful.”


“We ought to be hospitable, but we ought not to be affirming of pronouns that designate a destructive choice and a false view of reality. It is possible to be hospitable and honest,” he continued, before listing ten clear reasons he disagrees with “pronoun politeness.”

“It defies God. … Self-conception as male or female should be defined by God’s holy purposes in creation,” he began. “It involves living a lie. A woman cannot become a man nor a man a woman.”

“Being a man or a woman is not like being left-handed or right-handed. It goes far deeper and touches the depths of our created nature,” and “it regularly leads to destructive and irreversible surgeries and treatments” — which “destroys the God-designed potential of procreation and will bring sooner or later profound and sometimes suicidal regret.”

Piper went on to say that so-called transgenderism “expresses the deeply anti-God commitment to human autonomy over against the will of God” and that it “contributes to the cultural disorder of sexuality that tends to undermine God’s pattern from male and female and confuses and destabilizes our young people.”

Pronoun hospitality also “overlooks alternative ways forward that take seriously a person’s sexual confusion or rebellion,” “is the prelude to future perversions,” and “therefore, the greatest possible care should be taken before one gives any impression of approving or even being mildly disagreeable toward so-called transgenderism.”

“I think that is a perfect response, and I am so grateful for his clarity,” Stuckey says, adding, “Clarity is kindness.”

‘We have to pray for this man’: Kamala fires up dictator rhetoric to anger voters



As Election Day nears, Donald Trump continues to rise in the polls — and Democrats are in full-on meltdown mode.

“Kamala just gave a speech where she said that it’s been confirmed now that Donald Trump said when he was in office that he won’t answer to the Constitution,” Glenn Beck tells Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.”

“Just horrible. That’s going to get the man killed,” he says, adding that if you believe what Kamala’s peddling, “you’re a moron.”


The left’s rhetoric is meant to spread fear among its voters and could potentially set some of the less stable ones off — as America has already seen with two assassination attempts on the former president.

“We have to pray for this man,” Glenn says. “They kill him, anybody kills him, and it puts our country in a very dangerous place.”

While Stuckey notes that the election is “close,” Glenn disagrees.

“I could be wrong,” he tells her. “I don’t know what the cheating situation’s going to be, but I think this time, there’s a lot of hidden anti-Kamala votes of people that should have voted for the Democrat, would like to vote for the Democrat, but just can’t do it for some reason or another and won’t.”

“If it’s a landslide, and we don’t have an assassination, I think we have a chance of holding it together. They’re going to try everything. Everything that they said about January 6, on what Trump was doing, they’re already saying they’re going to do that if he’s elected,” he continues.

While the lengths the Democrats might go to keep Trump out of office are scary, Glenn relays that our side has to “stay calm” if we’re going to be OK.

“If there is struggle, these people will clamp down and the left, the far-out left, will make it much, much worse. You don’t want anything to happen,” he says. “This thing could go a million different directions. It’s going to take calm, a heart of Christ, and absolute obedience to the gospel.”

“We have to remember that these people do not have the same moral limitations that you or I do,” he adds.

Viral pastor: Kamala and the Democrats are a ‘demonic death cult’



Jonny Ardavanis is the lead pastor at Stonebridge Bible Church, and a sermon of his recently went viral — because he perfectly articulated what so many others are afraid to.

“I’m not a political commentator,” he began. “I’m a preacher of the Bible. But certain things politically are more theological than they used to be. The Democratic Party is a demonic death cult under the power and influence of Satan.”

“To vote for a platform that is building their platform upon everything God hates: the mutilation of bodies, the annihilation of babies in the womb, and the sexualization of your children. That is their calling card, that is what they want to do,” he said.

“They don’t hide that. They have abortion facilities outside of the Democratic convention. This is who they are. It’s the most radical party in our country’s history,” he continued, adding, “So I don’t see how you could be a Christian and vote for a party who promotes everything that God hates.”


Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” couldn’t agree more with Ardavanis, who admits he’s shocked that the clip of his sermon went so viral.

“I had no idea just calling a spade a spade from scripture was so bold,” he tells Stuckey, adding, “I had no idea I’m being bold where the scripture is so clear.”

However, it is bold to be honest — especially as God--fearing Americans around the country have voiced their support for Kamala Harris, like Ray Ortlund.

Ortlund has been quite vocal about his support for the vice president, even writing in a post on X: “Never Trump. This time Harris. Always Jesus.”

“I don’t know how common of a stance this is among Christians, but Ray Ortlund, from what I understand, is not fully progressive. He probably aligns with us on a variety of theological issues, and yet, this is a position that I see at least some evangelicals hold, voting for Kamala Harris because Trump is just so uniquely bad,” Stuckey comments.

Like Stuckey, Ardavanis isn’t clear how Ortlund decided on Kamala Harris while being a man of God.

“I don’t know how you arrive at that position honestly, when you’re thinking with the mind of Christ,” Ardavanis says. “I don’t know how you arrive there when you just look at the full-term abortions, the onslaught of sexuality, the absolute dismantling of the nuclear family, marriage.”

“She is opposed to the biblical worldview like no one else in our country’s history,” he adds.

Will Ferrell’s transgender flick unintentionally disproves it's own narrative



Will Ferrell released a new Netflix documentary that explores the relationship between Ferrell and his “transgender” friend Andrew Steele, who now identifies as “Harper” — and it’s every bit as delusional as you might assume.

“We always say ‘quote unquote’ or ‘so-called’ or ‘what’s referred to’ because there’s no such thing as transitioning. Your gender and sex are one and the same. They’re not two different categories,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” comments.

“Now we’ve got a Netflix series saying that a man who has lived as a man his entire life is now a woman and should be accepted as a woman and should be able to go into women’s spaces to be regarded as a woman,” she says, adding, “and Will Ferrell is just like ‘It’s no big deal, who cares, like he’s just happy.’”

And recent comments made by Ferrell make his deluded take on the matter abundantly clear.

“There is hatred out there. It’s very real and it’s very unsafe for trans people in certain situations. But I don’t know why trans people are meant to be threatening to me as a cis-male,” Ferrell said.

The famous actor also reportedly said that “it’s strange” to him because “Harper is finally her.”

“If the trans community is a threat to you, I think it stems from not being confident or safe with yourself,” he added.

“Remember, Will Ferrell is a multi-millionaire who has already made his career in Hollywood. He’s a man himself, and he has sons, and so these people who always claim they’re on the side of empathy I guess have a hard time understanding why we as women, as moms and parents who have daughters, why we would not want these men entering our spaces,” Stuckey says.

While the film itself sets out to claim that transgenders are hated across the country, especially in red states, the film ends up disproving their own narrative.

“Steele is treated warmly by people all over the country. Which I think is good, like I do think just in a personal interaction you can treat anyone, no matter who they are, warmly,” Stuckey says, noting that if the tables were turned, the reception might not be so friendly.

“If you made a documentary of someone with a MAGA hat,” she says, “and he went to a bar in New York, I guarantee you he would probably be physically assaulted because remember, politics is the religion of the left. It is their theology.”

Not only does the film disprove its own narrative but the questions being asked by Ferrell appear intentionally surface-level in order to keep “Harper” from facing any legitimate critiques.

“The questions that are being asked by Will Ferrell aren’t like, ‘Okay, so you’re going to share a bathroom with these women?’ The questions are just like, ‘How do you feel? Does this make you happy? Are you your authentic self?” Stuckey explains.

“We live in a world that says all of your feelings are valid. All of your feelings are not valid. They may all be real, but valid means they’re rooted in truth. Some of our feelings are just downright lies,” she adds.

Shaping moral truth for young women: Why Taylor Swift's endorsement is dangerous



Between her highly publicized relationship with NFL tight end Travis Kelce and her skyrocketing career, Taylor Swift has been dominating the headlines — and now, she is again for an entirely new reason.

In an Instagram post following the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Swift endorsed Harris and urged voters to do their own research. She signed her statement “Childless cat lady,” as a dig at comments made by JD Vance.

While she is a celebrity — and many of those invested in the country's future don’t care what pop star elites' opinions are — Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” believes that her statement has the power to “shape the worldviews, the perspectives, and the definitions for moral truths for a lot of young women.”

In her statement, Swift wrote that she’s “really heartened by Tim Walz as a vice presidential pick” and that “he has a long history of standing up for LGBTQ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body.”

“That is the euphemism that she is employing for dismembering and poisoning and starving living babies inside the womb,” Stuckey comments, adding, “It does seem like this is what she is at least implying, that we should all endorse and support someone like Harris who is as radical on things like abortion as it comes.”

While Swift made her support for Kamala known, WNBA star Caitlin Clark — who many young women also look up to — hinted that she felt the same way.

Not only did she like Swift’s post, but when asked who she would endorse for president, she mentioned Swift’s post and told reporters that endorsing someone would be “the biggest thing” she can do with the platform she has.

“That’s the same thing Taylor did,” she said. “I think continue to educate yourself with the candidates that we have, the policies that they’re supporting. I think that’s the biggest thing you can do.”

Stuckey is disappointed, as she believes this means Clark is voting for Kamala.

“I think that she’s Catholic. You can’t vote for a pro-abortion candidate girl, come on, girl,” Stuckey says. “Take your own advice, educate yourself on the policies, and ask yourself, ‘Is this going to create more order, or less order? More peace, or less peace? Is this going to create a better, safer, more prosperous future for my kids and grandkids, or a less safe, more dangerous, less prosperous future?'”
