Why doesn't Andy Stanley ever call out Democrats for their evil policies, behaviors, and threats to Conservatives and Christians? His stance on politics will do NOTHING to help Christians stand firm in their convictions. I think of all the martyrs who died for the Christian faith -- died because they refused to compromise their convictions. Those martyrs are heroes. Sadly, Andy is nothing more than a bad influence leading people to hell. // And I can say this bc my husband and I were members of his church for 19 years. I was on staff at North Point for three years. 80% of the staff voted Democrat during the last election. They were "FOR the LGBTQP+" community; they promoted transgender changes among church members (including youth); they allow cussing and shameful clothing in the youth environments because they "don't want to offend anyone." It's worse than you can imagine. Strong, Biblical convictions are NOT encouraged at any of Andy Stanley's churches.
I feel your pain. Eric Metaxas wrote a book Letter to the American Church, where he’s trying to wake up church leaders so they don’t follow Nazi Germany’s example but push back against the Leftist totalitarianism creeping into our culture…before it’s too late.
Thank you for your courage in exposing the unfruitful works of darkness.Ephesians 5:11-14 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV) Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. I pray for the people sitting under his teachings.
I'm a naturalized American. It was a privilege to study and take the citizenship test over 40+ years ago. I love this country. I love God more. I also believe it was God's plan to bring me here where I became a Christian. Happy 4th of July to you all. Please take a prayerful moment to thank God and remember those who fought for our country and built it on Biblical principles🇺🇸
I left Northpoint church during Covid when they went along with the mask mandare. I’m so happy I did. Shortly afterwards I saw a video of Andy uplifting the lgbt ‘Christians’ saying we should all strive to be as good Christians as they were. I’m sorry what?
Dr. Stanley openly supported his heretical son. Not good!! Also his (Charles) divorce should have disqualified him from the pastorate. He could have served the Lord in other ways.
I do not understand how someone that is seeking real biblical truth could sit under someone like Andy Stanley, no matter what kind of communicator he is. I just cannot respect what he does and I used to live right down the street from one of his satellite churches and I never considered going there once.
As a Ukrainian born (and now American citizen), I absolutely agree! It’s a blessing and a privilege to be American and to live here. 🙏🏼 Forever grateful.
It's more accurate to say that Andy is softer than he used to be. He's never been solid. Due to the current spiritual climate he finally has the courage expose his true heart. By his own admission in college, he walked away from Christianity. For decades he has put up a front. Not very well known is when he tried to take over his father's ministry. This was happening at the same time and part of his parent's divorce. This is how North pointe came to be. Andy Stanley is not Christian. This is not a condemnation by me. It is a biblical evaluation based on God's Word. God condemns, His children evaluate.
What that dude said about LGBT culture and pederasty is chilling when you consider that trans activist claiming he would be the "family" for kids whose parents didn't affirm their transition.
The points Allie makes are 2nd grade logic and should be self evident to an adult. Andy Stanley can't seem to grasp it, or he is intentionally avoiding the truth to pump his "numbers". 💲💲
He's definitely a false teacher. I'm not perfect & have many faults, but I'm not trying to promote & justify & seek acceptance for my sins & then promote & glorify them to others in a church. He's building Andy's Kingdom-not God's.
God bless you, Allie, for being a bold, outspoken Christian and adhering to the Word. You are an inspiration. God didn't say, "All of this is contingent upon the nuances of 21st Century political sensitivities."
I heard a sermon from Charles Stanley on Bott Radio the other day. Charles stated that God loves us as we are. It then made sense to me that he supported and endorsed his son. Andy has taken that statement his father made to a whole new level. Being a Born Again believer who once was a lesbian for my nearly entire life i call out Mr. Stanley and ask him to repent for the darkness he has supported. It is DEMONIC.
Charles Stanley would preach as hus son does today if he thought it would sell. Charles said a pastor who divorced should step down, and then didn't. Both Stanley's are salesmen first.
It’s something that I have come to realise and it’s not a surprise now that Andy is such a heretic and it’s because his father was a heretic as well. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Totally disagree. My Republican women’s meetings start with a prayer and then the pledge. Republicans fight against abortion and acknowledge God at their conventions. Democrats do not.
True. However, at least there are some in the Republican party who are not ashamed of stating their allegiance to Christ. I could be wrong, but I don't know of any Bible believers in the Democratic party
@@domenicdurante966 Well there are plenty of believers in the Democratic Party but politics is not about Christianity. It’s a mistake to think the Republican Party represents anything close to true Christianity.
In my Bible reading over the recent days it's been talking about all of the kings in the north, the South for Israel and so on who might would do some things for God and then later on in their lives either stray away or not get a rid of the high places or the Asher pole or whatever and that is exactly what Andy Stanley has done. He may be started out solid but then he has let some sort of things stay in his life and it has grown and turned so many people away. He will be held accountable to the Lord for this. We were talking in our family... it is is a great reminder for all of us to make sure that we don't have any "golden calves."
All of traditional Christianity rejects the Law and the Prophets. Despite God clearly saying that He is not to be worshiped using pagan rites, Catholics and Protestants pretend that Sunday services, Easter, and Christmas are Christian festivals, and that God is supposed to accept this false worship just because their motives may be innocent. God gave us the true Christian festivals in Lev. 23, but very few professing Christians observe them!
I have to disagree about him being articulate and a great speaker. He is not able to articulate the true gospel and he can not accurately articulate biblical truth. He twists scripture and in my opinion commits blasphemy. He is a wolf and should be called out. He is leading people down the road to death.
I agree! I saw him in a “debate” of sorts against Jeff Durbin on the Unbelievable podcast. He was incredibly inarticulate! I couldn’t believe how poorly he spoke! All of his thoughts were half baked.
Great episode, Allie! Enjoy your Independence Day festivities tmo with your dear family!🎉Hope your voice heals soon! Your Christian leadership is an inspiration!😊
All I’ve ever heard is Democrats saying that you couldnt be a republican and be a Christian. Why doesn’t Andy speak to that dynamic as well?? Why is the criticism always only one direction??!!
AGREED. Andy Stanley is an embarrassment to the profession of REAL Biblical preachers who don’t bend the knee to worldly powers. Yes, there are many, many people who claimed to be Christians who say that you can’t be a Christian AND a Republican The Democrat party now, you could say OFFICIALLY, supports the agenda of Satan. Every demonic, godless thing happening in the world today, is actually supported and even PROMOTED by Democrat politicians. We should thank Andy Stanley for finally coming out with it and boldly showing what side of the dividing line he is on.
Loving your enemy is too tell them what or how they’re sinning against God ! Telling them you’re praying for them and when they want a relationship with Jesus you’ll be there for them.
Andy Stanley is perfect example of wanting to please everyone even in the name of Truth. His fame has totally taken his heart captive. He has not disciplined hisself to stay in the scriptures. He wants the Bible to say something else - loopholes that are not really there but they imagine they are but Jesus is no longer the Author but Andy Stanley is now the Author and interpreter too! It’s FAME and the danger that comes along with it! Christians are not “ popular” - that is how they are distinguished from non Christians. We Are Different because We Are Nonconforming! Pray for Andy / his influence is huge but his RESPONSIBILITY is huger!!! 🙏❤️
Love according to the Scripture: 1 Cor.13:6 Love…does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love according to the world: Follow your heart! Yet…. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? (Jeremiah 17:9 ESV) Come Lord Jesus🙌
True Love is telling a person the truth even if it hurts the person hearing it. God LOVES humanity enough to tell us the TRUTH that the ONLY way we can come to Him is through His Son Yeshua. And that our righteousness is as filthy rags to Him. We cannot be saved on our own merits. ONLY FAITH IN THE CRUCIFIXION, DEATH, BURIAL, & RESURRECTION IN CHRIST JESUS is what saves us. That is true LOVE. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” - Acts 4:12 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.” - John 14:1-4 For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. - Isaiah 64:6

*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Thank you for articulating what I believe to be biblically true. I feel like it’s harder to find people in America holding to a biblical standard. They’re out there. Just not in my area.
There are millions out there! As the Lord reminded Prophet Elijah…”I have 7,000 that have not bowed to Baal”. As long as the sky is above, we have hope! God is completely in control. Read the story of Joseph in Genesis- the providence and sovereign hand of God. Be encouraged!! Psalm 31:24 😊
That son is nothing like his father. Sin is sin, and the Bible isn't full of "clobber verses" just because he wants to have a money-making bandwagon for gentle-parents that want to affirm SIN in their kids.
I sure do love you Allie! May The Lord continue to bless you with more of Him, protect you and your family in every way in Jesus’s Name. Thank you for speaking the Truth.
Love the episode but I don't understand why you felt the need to give any positive props to Andy Stanley (at the 12 or 13 minute mark). He is absolutely a false teacher and is actively working AGAINST the expansion of God's Kingdom. So why the positive comments? It did not seem typical/fitting for you and was a huge disappointment for me to hear you say it. I also don't think Tim Keller's legacy was a "net positive" to the rest of the Church. He actually did more harm than good (mostly in his last 10 years) and he "muddied the waters" far too much. His "Third Way" idea was nothing more than an evil ploy to move the Church to the Left. It was pure deception.
I wouldn’t speak for Allie but I know there is a tendency of kind people to try to demonstrate that they don’t dislike a person by showing that they can acknowledge what their strengths are when they are about to make a criticism of that person. I think Allie was just trying to be even handed. She definitely didn’t hold back on what Andy Stanley has been up to, criticizing Bible believing Christians while defending Democrat activist “Christians”. I thought she did a very good job and I’m thankful for it.
Thank you Allie! When I was a baby Christian I thought Andy was great but studying the bible extensively and listening to Christians standing for what is right got me out of that heresy. I'm thankful I'm not drinking milk but have moved onto meat. Sadly I live in an area of the world that it's almost impossible to find a sound church, my husband and I have taken a break from corporate worship and worship online with some dynamic churches not in our area for now.
Andy Stanley has fallen so far from biblical teaching…. I would not want him attached to any of your content, no matter how big his following is. You can’t be lukewarm Christian…the Bible says marriage is between a man and women, period…Democrats politicians all vote for abortion so I would say that grieves Gods heart but only God knows a persons heart, He is the judge, not me. Prayers for your throat and you get your clear voice back!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God Bless America, Freedom is not free! I thank God for being an American🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸
The opening monologue compelled me to say that one thing we ought to remember about the America First idea is not about other countries should be treated poorly, but rather that people and government of the USA should put our citizens needs before the needs of others *JUST LIKE* other countries need to put their citizens needs above the needs of the citizens of the USA. I think that’s a perspective that is often missed by some people.
Standing for biblical truth is loving! Maybe the Dems should adopt the position that it's a constitutional right to have a different opinion and speak it.
Dear Allie, I hope your voice gets better. Please get a vocal scope done if not experiencing any allergies or recovering from known illness! I am a trained opera singer and can hear quite a bit of swelling on your vocal folds. Please make sure it’s not from a blood vessel surfacing or trauma to the thin edges. You have to use your voice a lot for this show so please be cautious and conservative with your voice use! Much love and prayers to protect the health of your vocal folds!!
Very unique insight. Interesting. Thank you. Allie is a bold, outspoken critic of godlessness, especially when it masquerades as Christian. She needs to protect her voice.
Charles Stanley preached a pastor who divorced should step down, until he got a divorce. He wasn't a principled man but a slick salesman at a time where the Gospel was in favor.
I think Andy is trying to turn people away from the OT to avoid the “clobber passages”. Which is a slippery slope into ignoring the Bible completely and just focusing on “love”. He makes some good points that are easy to agree with, but I think his sermons have become laced with just enough truth to cover up the fact he is slipping into heresy.
Allie Beth God always uses your voice to convict me where I err when it comes to relating to those struggling as Trans, with their gender identity. There is a time when you have to confronts lies with truth, with grace and truth, both hand and hand. I have a trans friend and have a developed relationship with her, but we've skirted around the subject of faith because she knows I'm a Christian and don't agree with lgbtqia and I don't want to offend and lose the relationship and opportunity to witness. I need both discernment and boldness to know when to speak and what to speak, because I want her to know j do love her, and I am sad that she hates who God created her to be, and I want her to know God's love so much. How do you gently bring things up in conversation without forcing confrontation. Obviously the gospel confronts our sin, but it doesn't have to be done in judgement and hate. Also pray that I can articulate scriptural views clearly to those in my sphere please 😊
I am in the same place, wanting to be able to speak into people’s lives in truth. I am buying and reading books to try to teach myself. One thing I know I need to learn to do better is to ask questions.
Agree as I have a gay son that I want to discuss his feelings about this radical pride crap - no boundaries in the name of being gay!! What? Why?? I love my son and would absolutely lose it if I knew he participated and felt that it was acceptable to act this way in front of anyone!!! I don’t believe he would do something like this but I have to know how he feels about it. He walked away from the Christian faith while in college and when he “ realized “ that he was gay. I’m praying and holding out for Jesus to miraculously intervene. He can do this! I’m not giving up hope! But I’m not standing by my son if he is OK with these behaviors. I love my son - he is my “ best friend” but we don’t discuss his sexuality other than in low key terms. That’s too much - I don’t want to know as he doesn’t want to know about my intimate life. And these parents should have their kids removed from them and - this is disgusting. God have Mercy!! 😢
@leslielutz6028 can I suggest you read Christopher Yuan’s book about his life? Or even look up his testimony if you haven’t. And Becket Cook and Rosaria Butterfield (I think I spelled their names correctly). I feel like their testimonies may bless you.
@@jseehowitsbeen3177 Thank you for your suggestion - I will certainly look into their testimonies and their books. It’s so incredibly difficult. He is an amazing person - smart, talented and handsome. Nothing like these lost lunatics that are taking over society. I’m so tired of them being allowed to do whatever they want and it doesn’t matter that they are most certainly “ traumatizing” the young children whether the parents or children know it! I’m just appalled especially being a child sexually abused for many years and the impact it had on me from day 1 of abuse to now year 63! It angers me so that our world is so evil. They are surely a sign of the End. I pray for Jesus to return before more damage is done
@@leslielutz6028Yes!! The above 3 authors have written great books that have helped me to have more understanding to be able to converse with my 24 year old niece and nephew (twins😊) who are in the thick of this with their peers. Each of these authors were very enmeshed and active in the gay community but then came to know Christ in very transformative ways and denounced their former gay lifestyles. Their testimonies are amazing! You can find them on RUclips if you want to get a taste of who they are. Rosaria Butterfield was a lesbian college professor overseeing "queer studies" at Syracuse University in New York when she came to know the Lord through being invited to a pastor and his wife's house for dinner over a period of a couple years. She ended up quitting that job and transferred to teach at a Christian college and is now a pastor's wife with several children.
I wouldn't be surprised! Many years ago, my wife and I went to Ocean Grove, New Jersey, to hear Charles Stanley preach. When the event began, they announced that he couldn't make it, so in his place, Andy Stanley spoke. We never heard him before and I could honestly say that I sensed from the start that something was not right about him...
Andy seems to be full of compassion and love. It is very revealing when certain religious people get worked up over compassion and love being bestowed upon persons they don’t agree with. If I’m not mistaken, the two commands are to love God and love your neighbor as you love yourself. Andy seems to do this, and I appreciate his Christian example.
Those are not the only two commands in the Bible. Many people are loving and yet wrong. What she’s saying is that if you believe in God’s absolute truth you have to stand up against those who preach against God’s truth. Abortion is wrong, there are 2 genders, marriage is between a man and a woman etc. it’s not loving to let someone live in a sinful lifestyle.
@@kellyshore725 The problem here is not about standing up for God’s truth. The problem is the picking and choosing which parts of God’s truth to make people feel condemned for. Highlighting what we think are “big sins” while sweeping what we think are tiny itty bitty sins under the rug-never mentioning them or doing a dedicated podcast on them. It’s the hypocrisy of going on and on about how terrible certain sins are but not applying that same energy to the whole Law of God. The fact is that every one of us breaks the whole Law any time we sin no matter how small we think that sin is. Blessedly, those who have faith in Jesus are not under the Law of Moses but under Grace. I don’t know a lot about Pastor Andy, but I have listened to a few clips that are considered controversial by some religious people, yet I have not heard Pastor Andy defend any particular sin. I have heard him respond with welcoming kindness to those who are often shunned by religious people. It’s like he understands that one filthy rag is really no better than another.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you & your clearly truthful and Biblical podcasts! You are a beacon of light for this dark, deceived generation. Thank you for your boldness to speak the TRUTH in LOVE. May God continue to bless you & your family. ✝️❤️
Jesus said 'Not everyone who calls me Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven!' I also thinl that those who are promoting abortion are also worshiping Molek.
Great podcast! Thank you for always having courage to discuss any topic. It's SO important. I'm so sad about Andy because I always love listening to his father and still do..
It’s so depressing to me how much the church either 1) stays silent about these issues, or 2) defends and supports these issues. I know many “pastors” personally that believe the LGBTQ community is wonderful.
When I see Andy Stanley I see a man full of pride, consumed by the belief that he knows everything and he is the final authority. God is the final authority, one day Stanley will find that out
Yes, it’s true we are just passing by, BUT, God wanted a unique people that’s why He chose a single group-the Israelites and they were to teach and show the world by example on how to live under God’s authority. He chose the Israelites just because He can, not because THEY were special in any way. It’s ALWAYS been because of GOD that makes them special. And THANK YOU JESUS that now anyone that ACCEPTS YOU is special!
I would love someone to help me understand this convergence of faith and politics. I completely support your right to practice your faith and live by your doctrines as you see fit - where you lose me is having legal policy for all citizens dictated by your interpretation of a singular denomination of religion. Why should laws be implemented that dictate my life and my body and my family if I subscribe to a different religion or no religion at all? Realistically we do not live in a homogoneous puritanical Christian society and so why would our laws suggest that we are? I was raised Jewish and I would think it completely insane to legally require people to keep kosher or to disallow folks working on Saturdays.
Politics are the way we influence our government. All of us have Freedom of Religion, of Speech, and of the Press, protected by the Constitution. We need basic laws just to keep order.These aren't specific to your family or mine. I will say politics has a lot to do with funding. We all vote for people who we believe will use their power and influence in a way that most nearly reflects our values. That's why it's SO IMPORTANT honest elections.
Thank you for this message. As I am learning to not fear watching what is going on in the world around me. As I was only looking for Jesus retun and not what my role is right now. Please pray for our daughter Chelsea a non believer in our Lord and Savior.
I don’t know what’s wrong with people these days? Well, I know. Lack of God, lack of care. We live in a society where as long as I am not bother. I couldn’t care less what others do. It is unbelievable!!! As a mother I don’t know how other parents can expose their kids to much perversion.I went to a parade in australia once and as a person who comes from a traditional and conservative country that was shocking. And you ended up okay with that, thinking that somehow that it’s okay. Thank God, He showed me that is not what he created and none of that is okay.
Thank you so much for your comments regarding the shortage of real conservatism among Republicans. I was a Republican for many years . . . until about 12-15 years ago when the party's lack of true commitment to conservative principles made me walk away. Now, I simply call myself . . . a conservative. No party for me. In my view, the GOP used Tea Party conservatives to get elected, then kicked them to the curb once in office. Basically, "thanks a lot guys . . . now leave us alone." Thanks again for your spot-on comments.
“I do from my inmost soul detest slavery anywhere and everywhere, and although I commune at the Lord’s table with men of all creeds, yet with a slaveholder I have no fellowship of any sort or kind. Whenever one has called upon me, I have considered it my duty to express my detestation of his wickedness, and would as soon think of receiving a murderer into my church, or into any sort of friendship, as a manstealer.” Charles Spurgeon I do wonder about a Spurgeon’esque stance towards abortion and Christians who either explicitly support it, or turn a blind eye to it.
27:02 Here’s something for Pastor Stanley to ponder: if he were the pastor of his Baptist church in the decade before the Civil War, would he have said the same kind of thing about remaining neutral in terms of party affiliation? Because the Republican Party, as you know, Allie, was formed to oppose slavery; the Democrat Party had sold its soul to the Confederacy and perpetuating slavery at all costs. Would the same casual smorgasbord menu be the kind of freedom of choice Stanley would have advocated for then? Many Christians were in fact on the wrong side of history where this was concerned, to be sure. But the movement to end slavery came largely from the conviction of Christians from a variety of denominational backgrounds who ultimately coalesced around the abolitionist cause. My question to Pastor Stanley is, how are life-and-death issues like transgender surgeries (especially for minors) or abortion any less urgent or incumbent upon the believer to contextualize his or her faith and testimony with *action* in the moment in which we find ourselves? This may take you aback just a step or two, Allie, but maybe I should ask Pastor Stanley this about his sympathies for the minions of progressivism who’ve been tearing down statues all over the country: Well, how about Stone Mountain, Georgia, right in your backyard? It’s a beautiful park, to be sure, but how is it that these huge visages of the leadership of the Confederacy (Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson) are still venerated or permitted to stare or glare down at the monument’s visitors, while reckless know-nothings destroy statues of Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant-who were on the right side of history? Where are the comfortable, “moderate,” suburban, churchgoing Democrat elites on that? I could go on similarly about many of the principals to the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution at crunch time for the American Revolution-with patriotic founders such as John Witherspoon, John Hancock, John Jay and John Adams (I guess “John” was a pretty popular name those days! 😁), whose faith motivated them to revolt against British tyranny: Would Pastor Stanley have been hawking “nuance” and “collegiality” then? I have a feeling that if Pastor Keller were still with us today, he’d be reminding us that while we do need to be warm and welcoming toward everyone without exception, we do not lose our edge in discerning the moral and ethical issues that demand our repentant obedience today-and Dr. Keller’s mentor, the late, great Dr. Francis Schaeffer, I’d venture, would say much the same thing along those lines.
I had been on a euro tour trip that stopped at Amsterdam 14 years ago and it happened to be a pride event, old man in a too too with a jockey; very revealing of his rear. Although he was the only one like that it was disturbing he could go in public like that.
Omg! 😮 I had no idea his church was in Georgia. He's just 30 minutes from where I live. I just looked up the church address. I totally thought he was in Seattle, WA or the West Coast cuz he's so liberal and pro alphabet agenda. I'm not sure about my pastors exact political ideology, but I do know he spoke out against the Democrats in light manner and preaches that people need to stop worshipping politics.
Allie, you are completely correct about the gay community and lifestyle. While I struggle with same-sex attraction and my faith, I removed myself from the gay lifestyle. It ABSOLUTELY revolves around sex and drugs. I lived it for years. It is a sad lifestyle. I even wrote a book about it.
Allie, I enjoy your podcast. You are wise and articulate. I can agree with almost everything you say. It is so refreshing. Thank you for the work you do.
When the existential issues come up with family and friends I have begun to say this...God's blessings are clearly tied to a marriage between one man and one woman living together for life in a loving and supportive marriage and caring for the children they produce. If you don't care if you have God's blessing then go for it...but you won't change that blessing on others by pitching a fit. God's blessing is attached to sexual fidelity within the bonds of above described marriage. If you don't care about God's blessing you can count on turmoil in your life and self inflicted wounds but you do have the God given right to choose that.
So often, many pastors skim over the Bible and talk more about their feelings. Many things go wrong with that approach, and there's no Biblical substance to go by and live on if we continue to listen to them. We must always live by the scriptures - period. What the Word of God says about anything.
I have a cousin who was adopted becoming the youngest child of 5 children. The 2 oldest kids were boys ages 10-13. From the time the adopted girl came into the home the two boys started assaulting her. She tried to kill herself twice. Her parents and adoptive sisters didn’t believe her and, of course, the two boys denied the allegations. She was placed in a psychiatric hospital for juveniles where she was assaulted and raped by a female physical therapist. By the time this girl was 18yo she came out as gay. She tried being married to a man just to please her parents but it didn’t work for her. She did have a baby. She then married a woman and had IVF and gave birth to another baby. But also a divorce. Then another marriage and moved far away from family and support. My cousin decided this wasn’t good for her kids so, another divorce and move. Several lives were damaged
Love the intro! Yes, Christians are to leave the world in a better state after themselves, however they can, at the same time as sharing the gospel/being a witness. It’s all one, not to be separated. I think it’s worldly and unspiritual to think that only some things are spiritual 😢
Andy has bought into the culture. Reminds me of the kings who followed God but did not destroy the high places or remove the Ashera poles. He doesn’t 100% follow God and all his commands. He is on the wrong path and please-people- do not follow him. He will lead you down the wrong path. Jesus’ death was not cheap grace. We have to 100% follow the ways of God. He is trying to be a part of the culture. So sad.
So I'm gonna disagree with …. Well, I scrolled through the comments and it’s pretty much gonna be all of y'all. I watched the sermon. I’m generally disagreeable person and really don't agree with anyone completely , but the main point, if I was gonna take it from him in his heart, was that we're supposed to love our enemies, and that if they are doing wrong, our expression towards them should be a form of love. And I'll let the rest sit in grace as I am skilled at nitpicking most anything. Now I do believe that there's two types of love, nurturing love and tough love. And tough love is a little more abrasive, and often we might counter foolishness with tough love. I do think it's possible for a person to be voting Democrat and be on their journey with Christ. I think many people have been in journeys with Christ that have gone through many phases, and they look back and see how far God has taken them.
Why doesn't Andy Stanley ever call out Democrats for their evil policies, behaviors, and threats to Conservatives and Christians? His stance on politics will do NOTHING to help Christians stand firm in their convictions. I think of all the martyrs who died for the Christian faith -- died because they refused to compromise their convictions. Those martyrs are heroes. Sadly, Andy is nothing more than a bad influence leading people to hell. // And I can say this bc my husband and I were members of his church for 19 years. I was on staff at North Point for three years. 80% of the staff voted Democrat during the last election. They were "FOR the LGBTQP+" community; they promoted transgender changes among church members (including youth); they allow cussing and shameful clothing in the youth environments because they "don't want to offend anyone." It's worse than you can imagine. Strong, Biblical convictions are NOT encouraged at any of Andy Stanley's churches.
I feel your pain.
Eric Metaxas wrote a book Letter to the American Church, where he’s trying to wake up church leaders so they don’t follow Nazi Germany’s example but push back against the Leftist totalitarianism creeping into our culture…before it’s too late.
Sounds like an "anything goes " church
Maybe I’m completely wrong, but I think Andy Stanley is in the ministry because he hates God.
How sad.
Thank you for your courage in exposing the unfruitful works of darkness.Ephesians 5:11-14 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. I pray for the people sitting under his teachings.
Thank you Allie Beth for holding on to the truth and promoting Biblical Christian standards.
I'm a naturalized American. It was a privilege to study and take the citizenship test over 40+ years ago. I love this country. I love God more. I also believe it was God's plan to bring me here where I became a Christian.
Happy 4th of July to you all. Please take a prayerful moment to thank God and remember those who fought for our country and built it on Biblical principles🇺🇸
Min 7:30 and I would add PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS and bless those who curse you. Romans 13:1. Let’s walk in the Spirit ❤
I left Northpoint church during Covid when they went along with the mask mandare. I’m so happy I did. Shortly afterwards I saw a video of Andy uplifting the lgbt ‘Christians’ saying we should all strive to be as good Christians as they were. I’m sorry what?
Christian should never support or celebrate someone else’s sexual preference.
Thus "were" some of you. But you " were" washed, sanctified, justified in the name of Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God. Amen!
@@regg32457 With repentance, changed by God, living a righteous life
It’s easier to be spoon-fed information than to do your own research and actually read the Bible for yourself.
Andy Stanley is an absolute disgrace to his father's legacy, I cannot imagine how much pain his heresy caused Dr. Stanley 😔
I still listen to his sermons.
I agree!
You are the disgrace
Dr. Stanley openly supported his heretical son. Not good!!
Also his (Charles) divorce should have disqualified him from the pastorate. He could have served the Lord in other ways.
I totally agree. So is Franklin Graham is to his father's legacy
Great podcast! You so eloquently express what millions of us believe in a respectful and loving manner. Thank you!
I do not understand how someone that is seeking real biblical truth could sit under someone like Andy Stanley, no matter what kind of communicator he is. I just cannot respect what he does and I used to live right down the street from one of his satellite churches and I never considered going there once.
His Father would be so disappointed in him, the way he is today.
Tickled ears. Those who seek out real biblical truth will not stay there for long.
You are a fundamentalist, that's why
Mike Winger just wrote a piece on Andy. He said people under his ministry are like the frog in the water that slowly heats up....
@@dimitrisiliadis4939Do you hold to some other scale or standard than Holy Scripture ? 🙏
As a Ukrainian born (and now American citizen), I absolutely agree! It’s a blessing and a privilege to be American and to live here. 🙏🏼 Forever grateful.
Andy Stanley used to be solid. I don’t know what has happened to him spiritually, but the road he is going down is eternally dangerous.
He has bought into the culture. He is not a true believer. Very sad.
That train derailed a long time ago.
God never called him to shepherd, he’s was never call by God.
Pray for Andy! To whom much is given much is required. I am saddened by his stance, but each of us will give an account Hebrews 4!!
It's more accurate to say that Andy is softer than he used to be. He's never been solid.
Due to the current spiritual climate he finally has the courage expose his true heart. By his own admission in college, he walked away from Christianity. For decades he has put up a front. Not very well known is when he tried to take over his father's ministry. This was happening at the same time and part of his parent's divorce. This is how North pointe came to be.
Andy Stanley is not Christian. This is not a condemnation by me. It is a biblical evaluation based on God's Word. God condemns, His children evaluate.
What that dude said about LGBT culture and pederasty is chilling when you consider that trans activist claiming he would be the "family" for kids whose parents didn't affirm their transition.
I just love you Allie! I couldn’t agree more with you! Such wisdom from someone so young. Thank you for speaking out with your conservative voice!
Allie never misses with her commentary. 🎯🎯🎯
Andy Stanley is unhinged...idk if he's a grifter or what but he needs an intervention...too bad he is tarnishing his father's (a Godly man) legacy. 😒
Same situation with Joel Osteen. His father would be so sad too.
The points Allie makes are 2nd grade logic and should be self evident to an adult. Andy Stanley can't seem to grasp it, or he is intentionally avoiding the truth to pump his "numbers". 💲💲
He's definitely a false teacher. I'm not perfect & have many faults, but I'm not trying to promote & justify & seek acceptance for my sins & then promote & glorify them to others in a church. He's building Andy's Kingdom-not God's.
God bless you, Allie, for being a bold, outspoken Christian and adhering to the Word. You are an inspiration. God didn't say, "All of this is contingent upon the nuances of 21st Century political sensitivities."
I heard a sermon from Charles Stanley on Bott Radio the other day. Charles stated that God loves us as we are. It then made sense to me that he supported and endorsed his son. Andy has taken that statement his father made to a whole new level. Being a Born Again believer who once was a lesbian for my nearly entire life i call out Mr. Stanley and ask him to repent for the darkness he has supported. It is DEMONIC.
Charles Stanley would preach as hus son does today if he thought it would sell. Charles said a pastor who divorced should step down, and then didn't. Both Stanley's are salesmen first.
The saying around my church is "God loves us as we are, but he loves us too much to leave us that way."
It’s something that I have come to realise and it’s not a surprise now that Andy is such a heretic and it’s because his father was a heretic as well. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Neither party reflects true Christianity and we cannot expect politics to be the answer to the evil in the world. Our trust should be in Christ alone.
Totally disagree. My Republican women’s meetings start with a prayer and then the pledge. Republicans fight against abortion and acknowledge God at their conventions. Democrats do not.
Amen!!
True. However, at least there are some in the Republican party who are not ashamed of stating their allegiance to Christ. I could be wrong, but I don't know of any Bible believers in the Democratic party
@@domenicdurante966 Well there are plenty of believers in the Democratic Party but politics is not about Christianity. It’s a mistake to think the Republican Party represents anything close to true Christianity.
@@stevencook4002 Who are the Christians in the Democratic party?
In my Bible reading over the recent days it's been talking about all of the kings in the north, the South for Israel and so on who might would do some things for God and then later on in their lives either stray away or not get a rid of the high places or the Asher pole or whatever and that is exactly what Andy Stanley has done. He may be started out solid but then he has let some sort of things stay in his life and it has grown and turned so many people away. He will be held accountable to the Lord for this. We were talking in our family... it is is a great reminder for all of us to make sure that we don't have any "golden calves."
Andy Stanley rejects the Bible Jesus Christ used…the Hebrew Scriptures 🤦♂️😳👎
Liar...
@dimitrisiliadis4939
Who?
He has to deny the Hebrew Scriptures to justify his acceptance of sinful lifestyles.
All of traditional Christianity rejects the Law and the Prophets. Despite God clearly saying that He is not to be worshiped using pagan rites, Catholics and Protestants pretend that Sunday services, Easter, and Christmas are Christian festivals, and that God is supposed to accept this false worship just because their motives may be innocent. God gave us the true Christian festivals in Lev. 23, but very few professing Christians observe them!
I have to disagree about him being articulate and a great speaker. He is not able to articulate the true gospel and he can not accurately articulate biblical truth. He twists scripture and in my opinion commits blasphemy. He is a wolf and should be called out. He is leading people down the road to death.
I agree 100%!
I agree! I saw him in a “debate” of sorts against Jeff Durbin on the Unbelievable podcast. He was incredibly inarticulate! I couldn’t believe how poorly he spoke! All of his thoughts were half baked.
Agreed
Agreed
I was saved listening to an Andy Stanley message when he was on staff at First Baptist. He baptized me. Praying. 🙏
Andy used to visit my church and preach there back before he was woke. I hope he has an intervention or a come-to-Jesus moment.
Me too, I am a PROUD American. Love my Flag
Great episode, Allie! Enjoy your Independence Day festivities tmo with your dear family!🎉Hope your voice heals soon! Your Christian leadership is an inspiration!😊
All I’ve ever heard is Democrats saying that you couldnt be a republican and be a Christian. Why doesn’t Andy speak to that dynamic as well?? Why is the criticism always only one direction??!!
AGREED.
Andy Stanley is an embarrassment to the profession of REAL Biblical preachers who don’t bend the knee to worldly powers.
Yes, there are many, many people who claimed to be Christians who say that you can’t be a Christian AND a Republican
The Democrat party now, you could say OFFICIALLY, supports the agenda of Satan. Every demonic, godless thing happening in the world today, is actually supported and even PROMOTED by Democrat politicians.
We should thank Andy Stanley for finally coming out with it and boldly showing what side of the dividing line he is on.
To distract and to be used by Satan to wear down the saints
Loving your enemy is too tell them what or how they’re sinning against God ! Telling them you’re praying for them and when they want a relationship with Jesus you’ll be there for them.
Andy Stanley is perfect example of wanting to please everyone even in the name of Truth. His fame has totally taken his heart captive. He has not disciplined hisself to stay in the scriptures. He wants the Bible to say something else - loopholes that are not really there but they imagine they are but Jesus is no longer the Author but Andy Stanley is now the Author and interpreter too! It’s FAME and the danger that comes along with it! Christians are not “ popular” - that is how they are distinguished from non Christians. We Are Different because We Are Nonconforming! Pray for Andy / his influence is huge but his RESPONSIBILITY is huger!!! 🙏❤️
Thanks Allie for speaking the truth, great show, keep up the good work of encouraging christians to speak up and call evil for what it is. Kathy
Feel better soon Allie in Jesus Mighty Name!
Love according to the Scripture:
1 Cor.13:6 Love…does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
Love according to the world: Follow your heart!
Yet….
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? (Jeremiah 17:9 ESV)
Come Lord Jesus🙌
EXCELLENT TRUTH
True Love is telling a person the truth even if it hurts the person hearing it.
God LOVES humanity enough to tell us the TRUTH that the ONLY way we can come to Him is through His Son Yeshua. And that our righteousness is as filthy rags to Him. We cannot be saved on our own merits. ONLY FAITH IN THE CRUCIFIXION, DEATH, BURIAL, & RESURRECTION IN CHRIST JESUS is what saves us. That is true LOVE.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
- Acts 4:12
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
- John 14:6
“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.”
- John 14:1-4
For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
There's wonder working power in following Kingdom principles on giving and tithing. Hallelujah!
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Big thanks to Ms. Chisty Fiore❤️✨💯May God bless Christy Fiore services,she have changed thousands of lives globally
How can I start this digital market, any guidelines and how can I reach out to her?
So nice to see Christy fiore talked about here. Her good works are speaking already, and like wild fire, she's spreading.
Thank you for articulating what I believe to be biblically true. I feel like it’s harder to find people in America holding to a biblical standard. They’re out there. Just not in my area.
There are millions out there! As the Lord reminded Prophet Elijah…”I have 7,000 that have not bowed to Baal”. As long as the sky is above, we have hope! God is completely in control. Read the story of Joseph in Genesis- the providence and sovereign hand of God. Be encouraged!! Psalm 31:24 😊
I don’t know enough about Andy Stanley but have some much respect for the legacy his father and Pastor Charles Stanley left behind and stood for!!!
That son is nothing like his father. Sin is sin, and the Bible isn't full of "clobber verses" just because he wants to have a money-making bandwagon for gentle-parents that want to affirm SIN in their kids.
I sure do love you Allie! May The Lord continue to bless you with more of Him, protect you and your family in every way in Jesus’s Name. Thank you for speaking the Truth.
Love the episode but I don't understand why you felt the need to give any positive props to Andy Stanley (at the 12 or 13 minute mark). He is absolutely a false teacher and is actively working AGAINST the expansion of God's Kingdom. So why the positive comments? It did not seem typical/fitting for you and was a huge disappointment for me to hear you say it. I also don't think Tim Keller's legacy was a "net positive" to the rest of the Church. He actually did more harm than good (mostly in his last 10 years) and he "muddied the waters" far too much. His "Third Way" idea was nothing more than an evil ploy to move the Church to the Left. It was pure deception.
I wouldn’t speak for Allie but I know there is a tendency of kind people to try to demonstrate that they don’t dislike a person by showing that they can acknowledge what their strengths are when they are about to make a criticism of that person.
I think Allie was just trying to be even handed. She definitely didn’t hold back on what Andy Stanley has been up to, criticizing Bible believing Christians while defending Democrat activist “Christians”.
I thought she did a very good job and I’m thankful for it.
I absolutely agree, there is nothing positive to be said about an apostate, that goes for both Andy Stanly and Tim Keller.
Thank you for standing up for truth, Allie! Praise the Lord.
Thank you Allie! When I was a baby Christian I thought Andy was great but studying the bible extensively and listening to Christians standing for what is right got me out of that heresy. I'm thankful I'm not drinking milk but have moved onto meat.
Sadly I live in an area of the world that it's almost impossible to find a sound church, my husband and I have taken a break from corporate worship and worship online with some dynamic churches not in our area for now.
Andy Stanley, REPENT! Being exposed, is the mercy of God! Time is running out.
Andy Stanley has fallen so far from biblical teaching…. I would not want him attached to any of your content, no matter how big his following is. You can’t be lukewarm Christian…the Bible says marriage is between a man and women, period…Democrats politicians all vote for abortion so I would say that grieves Gods heart but only God knows a persons heart, He is the judge, not me. Prayers for your throat and you get your clear voice back!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
God Bless America, Freedom is not free! I thank God for being an American🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸
The opening monologue compelled me to say that one thing we ought to remember about the America First idea is not about other countries should be treated poorly, but rather that people and government of the USA should put our citizens needs before the needs of others *JUST LIKE* other countries need to put their citizens needs above the needs of the citizens of the USA. I think that’s a perspective that is often missed by some people.
I’ll sum up his message in one sentence: Love others no matter what they believe , and no matter who they vote for.
Standing for biblical truth is loving! Maybe the Dems should adopt the position that it's a constitutional right to have a different opinion and speak it.
Dear Allie, I hope your voice gets better. Please get a vocal scope done if not experiencing any allergies or recovering from known illness! I am a trained opera singer and can hear quite a bit of swelling on your vocal folds. Please make sure it’s not from a blood vessel surfacing or trauma to the thin edges. You have to use your voice a lot for this show so please be cautious and conservative with your voice use! Much love and prayers to protect the health of your vocal folds!!
Very unique insight.
Interesting. Thank you.
Allie is a bold, outspoken critic of godlessness, especially when it masquerades as Christian.
She needs to protect her voice.
Thank you for this. It has reminded me to listen to Andy Stanley more regularly.
keep up the good work, you have nothing to worry about
Amen Allie! Spot on!!!!
Once again, Thank you Jesus, and thank you Allie for being so BOLD and unashamed of the Gospel of our Sovereign GOD…
Tears in the church!!
Wow! It’s hard to believe he was related to Dr. Stanley. Dr. Stanley was an amazing man. Andrew is garbage. So sad.
God has no grandkids, we all have to choose to be his children. Andy has chosen apostasy.
@@TheSaintFrenzySO true!
Garbage? I hope you’re not a Christian. Calling an image bearer “garbage” is inexcusable.
He's spewing garbage but God will work things out about his leading people to sin. I feel pity for him.
Charles Stanley preached a pastor who divorced should step down, until he got a divorce. He wasn't a principled man but a slick salesman at a time where the Gospel was in favor.
I think Andy is trying to turn people away from the OT to avoid the “clobber passages”. Which is a slippery slope into ignoring the Bible completely and just focusing on “love”. He makes some good points that are easy to agree with, but I think his sermons have become laced with just enough truth to cover up the fact he is slipping into heresy.
He already has slipped into heresy, if not into apostasy
Allie Beth God always uses your voice to convict me where I err when it comes to relating to those struggling as Trans, with their gender identity. There is a time when you have to confronts lies with truth, with grace and truth, both hand and hand. I have a trans friend and have a developed relationship with her, but we've skirted around the subject of faith because she knows I'm a Christian and don't agree with lgbtqia and I don't want to offend and lose the relationship and opportunity to witness. I need both discernment and boldness to know when to speak and what to speak, because I want her to know j do love her, and I am sad that she hates who God created her to be, and I want her to know God's love so much. How do you gently bring things up in conversation without forcing confrontation. Obviously the gospel confronts our sin, but it doesn't have to be done in judgement and hate. Also pray that I can articulate scriptural views clearly to those in my sphere please 😊
I am in the same place, wanting to be able to speak into people’s lives in truth. I am buying and reading books to try to teach myself. One thing I know I need to learn to do better is to ask questions.
Agree as I have a gay son that I want to discuss his feelings about this radical pride crap - no boundaries in the name of being gay!! What? Why?? I love my son and would absolutely lose it if I knew he participated and felt that it was acceptable to act this way in front of anyone!!! I don’t believe he would do something like this but I have to know how he feels about it. He walked away from the Christian faith while in college and when he “ realized “ that he was gay. I’m praying and holding out for Jesus to miraculously intervene. He can do this! I’m not giving up hope! But I’m not standing by my son if he is OK with these behaviors. I love my son - he is my “ best friend” but we don’t discuss his sexuality other than in low key terms. That’s too much - I don’t want to know as he doesn’t want to know about my intimate life. And these parents should have their kids removed from them and - this is disgusting. God have Mercy!! 😢
@leslielutz6028 can I suggest you read Christopher Yuan’s book about his life? Or even look up his testimony if you haven’t. And Becket Cook and Rosaria Butterfield (I think I spelled their names correctly). I feel like their testimonies may bless you.
@@jseehowitsbeen3177 Thank you for your suggestion - I will certainly look into their testimonies and their books. It’s so incredibly difficult. He is an amazing person - smart, talented and handsome. Nothing like these lost lunatics that are taking over society. I’m so tired of them being allowed to do whatever they want and it doesn’t matter that they are most certainly “ traumatizing” the young children whether the parents or children know it! I’m just appalled especially being a child sexually abused for many years and the impact it had on me from day 1 of abuse to now year 63! It angers me so that our world is so evil. They are surely a sign of the End. I pray for Jesus to return before more damage is done
@@leslielutz6028Yes!! The above 3 authors have written great books that have helped me to have more understanding to be able to converse with my 24 year old niece and nephew (twins😊) who are in the thick of this with their peers. Each of these authors were very enmeshed and active in the gay community but then came to know Christ in very transformative ways and denounced their former gay lifestyles. Their testimonies are amazing! You can find them on RUclips if you want to get a taste of who they are. Rosaria Butterfield was a lesbian college professor overseeing "queer studies" at Syracuse University in New York when she came to know the Lord through being invited to a pastor and his wife's house for dinner over a period of a couple years. She ended up quitting that job and transferred to teach at a Christian college and is now a pastor's wife with several children.
Would love for you to interview him. That would be sooo awesome.
Don't hold your breath. The man is probably a coward and most likely decline to an interview after watching her podcasts.
He won't do it
Man, for me Andy is gay. Just my opinion
💯 agree
Could be why he’s doing mental gymnastics to support things that God abhors
I wouldn't be surprised! Many years ago, my wife and I went to Ocean Grove, New Jersey, to hear Charles
Stanley preach. When the event began, they announced that he couldn't make it, so in his place, Andy Stanley spoke. We never heard him before and I could honestly say that I sensed from the start that something was not right about him...
I personally think he's secretly gay also, and that's why he's trying to make everybody think that being a homosexual isn't a sin.
I personally think that he is secretly gay and that's why he wants everybody to believe that being a homosexual is okay and not a sin.
Feel better soon, Allie Beth! My gratitude to God for such a great servant as you. 🙏🏽
Congrats on 500k subs!! Praise the Lord!!
Andy seems to be full of compassion and love. It is very revealing when certain religious people get worked up over compassion and love being bestowed upon persons they don’t agree with.
If I’m not mistaken, the two commands are to love God and love your neighbor as you love yourself. Andy seems to do this, and I appreciate his Christian example.
Those are not the only two commands in the Bible. Many people are loving and yet wrong. What she’s saying is that if you believe in God’s absolute truth you have to stand up against those who preach against God’s truth. Abortion is wrong, there are 2 genders, marriage is between a man and a woman etc. it’s not loving to let someone live in a sinful lifestyle.
@@kellyshore725 The problem here is not about standing up for God’s truth. The problem is the picking and choosing which parts of God’s truth to make people feel condemned for. Highlighting what we think are “big sins” while sweeping what we think are tiny itty bitty sins under the rug-never mentioning them or doing a dedicated podcast on them. It’s the hypocrisy of going on and on about how terrible certain sins are but not applying that same energy to the whole Law of God. The fact is that every one of us breaks the whole Law any time we sin no matter how small we think that sin is. Blessedly, those who have faith in Jesus are not under the Law of Moses but under Grace.
I don’t know a lot about Pastor Andy, but I have listened to a few clips that are considered controversial by some religious people, yet I have not heard Pastor Andy defend any particular sin. I have heard him respond with welcoming kindness to those who are often shunned by religious people. It’s like he understands that one filthy rag is really no better than another.
@@kellyshore725 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:14 NIV
TRUTH shared once again Allie! Thank you for JUST saying what EVERYONE KNOWS. This is NOT IGNORANCE…this is PURE EVIL.
Andy Stanley & Adam Hamilton sadly have strayed in speech & in practice. The Bible predicts such behavior.
He’s gone dark and woke. I loved his dad!
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you & your clearly truthful and Biblical podcasts! You are a beacon of light for this dark, deceived generation. Thank you for your boldness to speak the TRUTH in LOVE. May God continue to bless you & your family. ✝️❤️
“Raise a respectful ruckus for the things that matter.” I like how she put that.
Jesus said 'Not everyone who calls me Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven!' I also thinl that those who are promoting abortion are also worshiping Molek.
It is sad to see pastors that seemed to be solidly grounded scripturally, start going off the rails.
Great podcast! Thank you for always having courage to discuss any topic. It's SO important. I'm so sad about Andy because I always love listening to his father and still do..
It’s so depressing to me how much the church either 1) stays silent about these issues, or 2) defends and supports these issues. I know many “pastors” personally that believe the LGBTQ community is wonderful.
When I see Andy Stanley I see a man full of pride, consumed by the belief that he knows everything and he is the final authority. God is the final authority, one day Stanley will find that out
Communal narcissist
Yes, it’s true we are just passing by, BUT, God wanted a unique people that’s why He chose a single group-the Israelites and they were to teach and show the world by example on how to live under God’s authority. He chose the Israelites just because He can, not because THEY were special in any way. It’s ALWAYS been because of GOD that makes them special. And THANK YOU JESUS that now anyone that ACCEPTS YOU is special!
I would love someone to help me understand this convergence of faith and politics. I completely support your right to practice your faith and live by your doctrines as you see fit - where you lose me is having legal policy for all citizens dictated by your interpretation of a singular denomination of religion. Why should laws be implemented that dictate my life and my body and my family if I subscribe to a different religion or no religion at all? Realistically we do not live in a homogoneous puritanical Christian society and so why would our laws suggest that we are? I was raised Jewish and I would think it completely insane to legally require people to keep kosher or to disallow folks working on Saturdays.
Politics are the way we influence our government. All of us have Freedom of Religion, of Speech, and of the Press, protected by the Constitution. We need basic laws just to keep order.These aren't specific to your family or mine. I will say politics has a lot to do with funding. We all vote for people who we believe will use their power and influence in a way that most nearly reflects our values. That's why it's SO IMPORTANT honest elections.
All laws are based on the 10 commandments and natural law. Without acknowledging our Creator there is no law.
Happy 4th of July Allie and everyone! God bless and heal our land… and get Andy Stanley on board!!!
❤ Thank You, Allie for handling these issues to the Glory of God❤
Appreciate you so much Allie, your commentary is so meaningful. Prayers you feel better. It might be allergies.
Thank you for this message. As I am learning to not fear watching what is going on in the world around me. As I was only looking for Jesus retun and not what my role is right now. Please pray for our daughter Chelsea a non believer in our Lord and Savior.
- people should not be throwing bricks at anybody!.
I have never liked Andy Stanley since he preached on how we don’t need to follow the Ten Commandments. He is a heretic.
How can you respect someone who attends Andy Stanley's church! He's woke and if you attend his church you are giving your support!
Thank you Allie for addressing difficult issues... blessings
Allie you are speaking truth in humility and grace!!!
Human logic
falls way short of
God’s design .
Thank you God
for your mercies and grace ,
and forgive our arrogance .
🙏
I don’t know what’s wrong with people these days? Well, I know. Lack of God, lack of care. We live in a society where as long as I am not bother. I couldn’t care less what others do. It is unbelievable!!! As a mother I don’t know how other parents can expose their kids to much perversion.I went to a parade in australia once and as a person who comes from a traditional and conservative country that was shocking. And you ended up okay with that, thinking that somehow that it’s okay. Thank God, He showed me that is not what he created and none of that is okay.
Thank you so much for your comments regarding the shortage of real conservatism among Republicans. I was a Republican for many years . . . until about 12-15 years ago when the party's lack of true commitment to conservative principles made me walk away. Now, I simply call myself . . . a conservative. No party for me. In my view, the GOP used Tea Party conservatives to get elected, then kicked them to the curb once in office. Basically, "thanks a lot guys . . . now leave us alone." Thanks again for your spot-on comments.
“I do from my inmost soul detest slavery anywhere and everywhere, and although I commune at the Lord’s table with men of all creeds, yet with a slaveholder I have no fellowship of any sort or kind. Whenever one has called upon me, I have considered it my duty to express my detestation of his wickedness, and would as soon think of receiving a murderer into my church, or into any sort of friendship, as a manstealer.” Charles Spurgeon
I do wonder about a Spurgeon’esque stance towards abortion and Christians who either explicitly support it, or turn a blind eye to it.
27:02 Here’s something for Pastor Stanley to ponder: if he were the pastor of his Baptist church in the decade before the Civil War, would he have said the same kind of thing about remaining neutral in terms of party affiliation? Because the Republican Party, as you know, Allie, was formed to oppose slavery; the Democrat Party had sold its soul to the Confederacy and perpetuating slavery at all costs. Would the same casual smorgasbord menu be the kind of freedom of choice Stanley would have advocated for then? Many Christians were in fact on the wrong side of history where this was concerned, to be sure. But the movement to end slavery came largely from the conviction of Christians from a variety of denominational backgrounds who ultimately coalesced around the abolitionist cause. My question to Pastor Stanley is, how are life-and-death issues like transgender surgeries (especially for minors) or abortion any less urgent or incumbent upon the believer to contextualize his or her faith and testimony with *action* in the moment in which we find ourselves?
This may take you aback just a step or two, Allie, but maybe I should ask Pastor Stanley this about his sympathies for the minions of progressivism who’ve been tearing down statues all over the country: Well, how about Stone Mountain, Georgia, right in your backyard? It’s a beautiful park, to be sure, but how is it that these huge visages of the leadership of the Confederacy (Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson) are still venerated or permitted to stare or glare down at the monument’s visitors, while reckless know-nothings destroy statues of Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant-who were on the right side of history? Where are the comfortable, “moderate,” suburban, churchgoing Democrat elites on that?
I could go on similarly about many of the principals to the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution at crunch time for the American Revolution-with patriotic founders such as John Witherspoon, John Hancock, John Jay and John Adams (I guess “John” was a pretty popular name those days! 😁), whose faith motivated them to revolt against British tyranny: Would Pastor Stanley have been hawking “nuance” and “collegiality” then?
I have a feeling that if Pastor Keller were still with us today, he’d be reminding us that while we do need to be warm and welcoming toward everyone without exception, we do not lose our edge in discerning the moral and ethical issues that demand our repentant obedience today-and Dr. Keller’s mentor, the late, great Dr. Francis Schaeffer, I’d venture, would say much the same thing along those lines.
I had been on a euro tour trip that stopped at Amsterdam 14 years ago and it happened to be a pride event, old man in a too too with a jockey; very revealing of his rear. Although he was the only one like that it was disturbing he could go in public like that.
Omg! 😮 I had no idea his church was in Georgia. He's just 30 minutes from where I live. I just looked up the church address. I totally thought he was in Seattle, WA or the West Coast cuz he's so liberal and pro alphabet agenda.
I'm not sure about my pastors exact political ideology, but I do know he spoke out against the Democrats in light manner and preaches that people need to stop worshipping politics.
And he has about 5 church extensions in the area, so be careful where you go!
Allie, you are completely correct about the gay community and lifestyle. While I struggle with same-sex attraction and my faith, I removed myself from the gay lifestyle. It ABSOLUTELY revolves around sex and drugs. I lived it for years. It is a sad lifestyle. I even wrote a book about it.
Andy is villainizing "conservative Christians" and actually doing what he accuses them of doing.
This was so incredibly well spoken. God’s blessings on you as you continue to speak the truth without apology.
Since Ally won't say it, I will. You cannot support the party of abortion and gay rights and be a follower of Christ.
Toxic empathy is False Compassion 💯
Great show, I applaud your courage and knowledge of the Bible. It's time for all conservative to stop being the door mat of the left wing.
Only 28 minutes in, and I’m a new subscriber. Thank you for speaking truth.
Andy Stanley has been on this path for a long time, he knows exactly what he’s doing
Allie, I enjoy your podcast. You are wise and articulate. I can agree with almost everything you say. It is so refreshing. Thank you for the work you do.
When the existential issues come up with family and friends I have begun to say this...God's blessings are clearly tied to a marriage between one man and one woman living together for life in a loving and supportive marriage and caring for the children they produce. If you don't care if you have God's blessing then go for it...but you won't change that blessing on others by pitching a fit. God's blessing is attached to sexual fidelity within the bonds of above described marriage. If you don't care about God's blessing you can count on turmoil in your life and self inflicted wounds but you do have the God given right to choose that.
So often, many pastors skim over the Bible and talk more about their feelings. Many things go wrong with that approach, and there's no Biblical substance to go by and live on if we continue to listen to them. We must always live by the scriptures - period. What the Word of God says about anything.
I have a cousin who was adopted becoming the youngest child of 5 children. The 2 oldest kids were boys ages 10-13. From the time the adopted girl came into the home the two boys started assaulting her. She tried to kill herself twice. Her parents and adoptive sisters didn’t believe her and, of course, the two boys denied the allegations. She was placed in a psychiatric hospital for juveniles where she was assaulted and raped by a female physical therapist. By the time this girl was 18yo she came out as gay. She tried being married to a man just to please her parents but it didn’t work for her. She did have a baby. She then married a woman and had IVF and gave birth to another baby. But also a divorce. Then another marriage and moved far away from family and support. My cousin decided this wasn’t good for her kids so, another divorce and move. Several lives were damaged
😢 oh my gosh! Praying for her and her children. What she went through is horrific!!
Love the intro! Yes, Christians are to leave the world in a better state after themselves, however they can, at the same time as sharing the gospel/being a witness. It’s all one, not to be separated. I think it’s worldly and unspiritual to think that only some things are spiritual 😢
Andy has bought into the culture. Reminds me of the kings who followed God but did not destroy the high places or remove the Ashera poles. He doesn’t 100% follow God and all his commands. He is on the wrong path and please-people- do not follow him. He will lead you down the wrong path. Jesus’ death was not cheap grace. We have to 100% follow the ways of God. He is trying to be a part of the culture. So sad.
So I'm gonna disagree with …. Well, I scrolled through the comments and it’s pretty much gonna be all of y'all.
I watched the sermon. I’m generally disagreeable person and really don't agree with anyone completely , but the main point, if I was gonna take it from him in his heart, was that we're supposed to love our enemies, and that if they are doing wrong, our expression towards them should be a form of love.
And I'll let the rest sit in grace as I am skilled at nitpicking most anything.
Now I do believe that there's two types of love, nurturing love and tough love. And tough love is a little more abrasive, and often we might counter foolishness with tough love. I do think it's possible for a person to be voting Democrat and be on their journey with Christ. I think many people have been in journeys with Christ that have gone through many phases, and they look back and see how far God has taken them.
Thank you for speaking up, is appreciated 🙌🏾
The thing is, in his mind he's right, everyone else is wrong.
He caters to the crowd that wants their ears tickled and their toes avoided
Wow, it is hard to hear the reality of this community. I have an 18 yr old son who is part of this community and I cannot sleep at night.
How can anyone take Andy Stanley seriously as a minister of the gospel?
Pride of the nation ... says nobody.
