00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.240
Real Life presents the Jack Kibb's podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth,

2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.240
equip the saints and impact our culture.

3
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:16.040
In an age of chaos, and cowardice, and confusion, to have the clarity and the courage that comes from the word of God,

4
00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:22.680
you don't have to wonder all of these seemingly complex and nuanced questions we're told about what gender is, or what marriage is,

5
00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:27.840
or what morality is, or what truth is, go back to the first verse of the first chapter of the Bible,

6
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:31.960
not treated to heavens in the earth. If you believe that, everything else follows.

7
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.840
Now, open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you. Here is Jack Kibb's.

8
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.840
Well, everybody, welcome back to the Real Life Network, and we're sitting down here at the National Religious Broadcasters Network.

9
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.840
It's an incredible gathering of people, and some of those incredible people, one of them is right here with us today,

10
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:23.840
and it's Ali Beth Stucky, and she is a powerhouse, what I would say, for the young generation.

11
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.840
I'm old enough to be her dad, but the cool thing about what she's doing is she's standing in the gap proclaiming truth.

12
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:39.840
She's a fighter, she's a contender. Many of you have seen her videos on Prager You, but she is from the Blaze,

13
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.840
that's Glenn Beck's group, and so tell us about that.

14
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.840
Yeah, I host a podcast called Relatable, that is distributed by Blaze TV, and we analyze culture news,

15
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.840
politics from a Christian conservative perspective, as well as theology.

16
00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:00.840
It's a unique podcast because the majority of my audience is women, which is not true for most political podcasts,

17
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:07.840
it's kind of a man's fear, a warm masculine fear, but whether it's on YouTube or on the listening side,

18
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.840
about 85% of the people who listen to me and watch me are young women, and that's what I want to do.

19
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.840
I want to try to help them navigate the chaos of our culture with clarity and courage,

20
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.840
and that's what I feel called to, and I love doing it.

21
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:26.840
Can I assume then, because you want to reach those that really need parental direction,

22
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.840
that you had a good upbringing, that you could say, well, my foundation was good,

23
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.840
but I'm going to take that and transfer it, or the other way around.

24
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.840
Yes, so people who listen to my podcast know that I've had both my parents on frequently,

25
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.840
they're some of my favorite guests, my audience's favorite guests, because they want insight,

26
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.840
okay, you have these values, you're passionate about these things, how did that come to be?

27
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:53.840
Of course, a lot of that is in my adult life, and just what God innately puts in you,

28
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.840
your interests, your drive, and things like that.

29
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:57.840
But my parents cultivated those values.

30
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:03.840
They cultivated those values from a young age, so I was raised in the church by very strong parents,

31
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.840
although we didn't really talk necessarily about politics growing up,

32
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.840
that just wasn't as central to our conversations, really, as it kind of is today,

33
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.840
because politics are so pervasive, but the values of conservatism,

34
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.840
which of course I think are inherent in Christianity, we're there.

35
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.840
And that foundation was laid, and thankfully I have a great relationship with my parents today,

36
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.840
and get to pass down that legacy to my kids.

37
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.840
And so, yes, without my parents, not just how I was raised, but the continued support,

38
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.840
and love and encouragement and edification of my parents is really a difference maker.

39
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:47.840
Well, okay, so how do you communicate then to a young woman who did not have that upbringing?

40
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.840
They're kind of adrift.

41
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.840
They may not have a mom or dad to call, or not even a husband or boyfriend.

42
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:56.840
They're kind of on their own.

43
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.840
What would you say to them, because we're hearing that that number is increasing?

44
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:00.840
How do you reach them?

45
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.840
And I notice that it's kind of obvious you have a little baby coming along here.

46
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:06.840
Yeah.

47
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.840
What about that young mom to be out of wedlock?

48
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.840
She's feeling lost.

49
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.840
What do you say? What can you say?

50
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.840
Yeah, first of all, I can really sympathize with that position,

51
00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:20.840
being without a support system, being without a base,

52
00:04:20.840 --> 00:04:23.840
being without my family calls it balcony people.

53
00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:26.840
So people who are cheering from your balcony, who are telling you,

54
00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:28.840
yes, this is what's true, you can do it.

55
00:04:28.840 --> 00:04:30.840
This is the direction that you're supposed to go.

56
00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:32.840
So they stay safe in the balcony.

57
00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:34.840
Yes, but not everyone has that.

58
00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:36.840
Not everyone has that cheering section.

59
00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:41.840
This person might also have people in their lives who are saying it's stupid to be a question

60
00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:43.840
or it's stupid to go against the green.

61
00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:44.840
It's stupid to swim extreme.

62
00:04:44.840 --> 00:04:46.840
It's so much easier just to go with the culture.

63
00:04:46.840 --> 00:04:49.840
And so I can really sympathize with the difficulty of that position.

64
00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:54.840
But a woman with her Bible is more powerful than a woman with an army without her Bible.

65
00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:57.840
And so the first thing that I would encourage you to do is one,

66
00:04:57.840 --> 00:04:58.840
get a good study Bible.

67
00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:00.840
I like the ESV study Bible.

68
00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:02.840
There are a lot of study Bibles out there.

69
00:05:02.840 --> 00:05:07.840
And then join your local church because that support in that community,

70
00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:12.840
that accountability, that reminder that fellow believers can give you

71
00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:14.840
of who you are in Christ.

72
00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:15.840
What Christ is done for you?

73
00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:20.840
Why living for the truth in love is worth it is vital.

74
00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:22.840
Yes, you have the Holy Spirit if you're a Christian.

75
00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:24.840
Yes, your Bible is necessary.

76
00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:27.840
But the body of believers, the body of Christ,

77
00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:29.840
to spur you on to loving good works,

78
00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:32.840
that's going to be a huge difference maker in your life.

79
00:05:32.840 --> 00:05:35.840
And Ali, don't you think, yes, everything you just said,

80
00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:40.840
don't you think also that when she makes that decision to go to a Bible teaching church,

81
00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:45.840
a good church, that she's going to have to apply herself to make friends as well?

82
00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:48.840
A lot of people go into church and say, well, nobody said hi to me.

83
00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:50.840
Well, how many people did you say hi to?

84
00:05:50.840 --> 00:05:51.840
That kind of thing.

85
00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:54.840
She's going to need to kind of insert herself,

86
00:05:54.840 --> 00:05:58.840
which raises the flag a little bit of, hey, we just met her.

87
00:05:58.840 --> 00:05:59.840
She needs help.

88
00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:04.840
There's so much protectiveness that we have where we think,

89
00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:07.840
we can't tell people our problems, they're going to judge us.

90
00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:11.840
But if you're in a good church, people are going to scoop you up and love you.

91
00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:12.840
Yes.

92
00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:16.840
So there's this block wall of, I don't know, about a church.

93
00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:19.840
Well, I think what you're saying is, why don't you run the risk

94
00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:23.840
of going to a church, getting established with a family,

95
00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:28.840
really a family of spiritual people who love God first,

96
00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:30.840
which enables them to love you.

97
00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:35.840
But there's people you can share with, just like Paul spoke to Timothy,

98
00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:42.840
that there's older women that can help you along in your younger dynamics of life.

99
00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:43.840
Yeah.

100
00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:44.840
So so important.

101
00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:46.840
Right, and you described Bible teaching churches.

102
00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:50.840
Unfortunately, we have to use that descriptor today because there are many churches

103
00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:53.840
who, while they claim to be churches, they're really just gathering to people

104
00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:54.840
who never open their Bible.

105
00:06:54.840 --> 00:06:58.840
So that's something, as a believer, obviously you need to watch out for.

106
00:06:58.840 --> 00:07:01.840
And if your pastor is not reading from the Bible,

107
00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:04.840
saying things that are contradicted by scripture, then you need to run.

108
00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:06.840
So that's, that's number one.

109
00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:10.840
But yes, make yourself vulnerable, which I understand can be very scary.

110
00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:14.840
To go up to that woman in church or sometimes churches at the end,

111
00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:17.840
we'll say, you know what, we've got people who are willing to pray for you,

112
00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:18.840
willing to talk to you.

113
00:07:18.840 --> 00:07:19.840
Exactly.

114
00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:20.840
And don't be scared to do that.

115
00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:22.840
There is absolutely no risk in that.

116
00:07:22.840 --> 00:07:25.840
Go forward, ask someone, anyone for help.

117
00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:27.840
Hey, how can I get connected to someone?

118
00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:30.840
Hey, how can I, I don't know, join a Bible study.

119
00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:32.840
Can I talk to someone, or I'm dealing with this in my life,

120
00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:34.840
and I really need help.

121
00:07:34.840 --> 00:07:39.840
That believer will be so excited, so filled with the Holy Spirit to help you.

122
00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:40.840
Yes.

123
00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:46.840
And that's going to be a huge indicator about the atmosphere or the theater of which church you're in.

124
00:07:46.840 --> 00:07:50.840
If you say, well, you know, I, you know, I'm lost or I'm homeless or I'm pregnant,

125
00:07:50.840 --> 00:07:53.840
and I don't have anybody if they say, oh, wow.

126
00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:54.840
Oh, my goodness.

127
00:07:54.840 --> 00:07:55.840
Yeah.

128
00:07:55.840 --> 00:07:57.840
Well, probably a good thing for you to walk out of there.

129
00:07:57.840 --> 00:07:58.840
Yeah.

130
00:07:58.840 --> 00:08:00.840
But listen, I know our time is limited.

131
00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:04.840
You gave a wild back.

132
00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:07.840
My pastors and staff were actually shocked.

133
00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:11.840
They were shocked that you were so skilled at what you had said.

134
00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:18.840
I sent it first to our pastors and I said, listen, we need more men like Ali in this topic.

135
00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:21.840
And you gave, you were actually responding.

136
00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:22.840
Oh, my goodness.

137
00:08:22.840 --> 00:08:23.840
Help me.

138
00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:27.840
You were responding to some post or some comment.

139
00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:29.840
It might have been an anti Stanley comment.

140
00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:31.840
It might have been somebody else made a comment.

141
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:34.840
And you said, okay, we're taking this program.

142
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:39.840
And we're going to talk about the, the importance of expositional Bible teaching.

143
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:40.840
Do you remember that?

144
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:41.840
I don't remember.

145
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.840
I don't remember which episode.

146
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.840
You would answer like 15 minutes.

147
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:46.840
I probably did.

148
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.840
I mean, that's something I really care about.

149
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:49.840
And I gotta tell you, it's obvious.

150
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:50.840
And so do I.

151
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.840
We are an expositional teaching church.

152
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.840
And I told the guys, I said, listen to her.

153
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.840
Most pastors conferences don't even cover what she just covered.

154
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.840
So for that, I was like, oh, I have to meet her.

155
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.840
Well, it's such a great privilege.

156
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.840
I think that pastors have, that you have all the material

157
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.840
and all the clarity that you need right there in the word.

158
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.840
That you don't have to reach inside yourself and find all of these.

159
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.840
You know, a clever saying, you have the word of God right there.

160
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.840
Go verse from verse and that's the best and most solid and most truthful sermon that you can give.

161
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.840
So true what you just said over the years, we've been past you for over 30 years.

162
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:32.840
I've done, I was raised in a church that does expositional verse by verse chapter by chapter book by book.

163
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:37.840
And so now you look back after 30 years of ministry and people have especially light of COVID.

164
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.840
How did you know?

165
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:46.840
How did you know to stay open or how did you know about teaching this or about that or or parsing out these

166
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.840
eschatological or soterological issues?

167
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.840
How did you know?

168
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:56.840
Well, I didn't know anything except going through the word of God, he'll take care of it.

169
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:57.840
Yeah.

170
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:58.840
He will unpack it.

171
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.840
And I think this, uh, tozer, have you ever heard a W tozer audibly?

172
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:04.840
Have you ever heard him speak?

173
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:05.840
No, I haven't.

174
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:06.840
Well, you've read his books.

175
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:07.840
Really read, yes.

176
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.840
And they're amazing.

177
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:15.840
If you hear him speak, you will quickly turn off the audio and go back to the books because his, his voice was horrific.

178
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:16.840
Oh, really?

179
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:17.840
It was just terrible.

180
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:25.840
But the point was this, his church averaged about 150 people, but his pen was mighty.

181
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:26.840
Yes.

182
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:28.840
My point is this, he never wavered.

183
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.840
He never wavered from what the word says.

184
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:38.840
And so now today I just found out that AW tozer's books are sold more today than ever.

185
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.840
And he's been dead for like, I don't know how many years for decades.

186
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.840
Right.

187
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:43.840
Point is the truth never moves.

188
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:44.840
Yes.

189
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.840
In this shifting culture, the word is that lighthouse.

190
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:48.840
It's that anchor.

191
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:56.840
Yes. And what a privilege, like in an age of chaos and cowardice and confusion to have the clarity and the courage that comes from the word of God.

192
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:05.840
We don't have to wonder all of these seemingly complex and nuanced questions we're told about what gender is or what marriage is or what morality is or what truth is.

193
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.840
Look, go back to the first verse of the first chapter of the Bible.

194
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:09.840
God created the heavens and the earth.

195
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.840
If you believe that, everything else follows.

196
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:13.840
Yes.

197
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:14.840
Yes.

198
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:15.840
Where can people find you?

199
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:16.840
Where can they check in with you?

200
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:17.840
Yes.

201
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.840
So podcasts relatable with Ali Beth Stucky.

202
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.840
It's wherever you listen to podcasts.

203
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:21.840
It's also on YouTube.

204
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.840
It's also on Blaze TV.

205
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.840
If you're a subscriber, there's a lot of subscriber content as well.

206
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.840
And then I'm on social media too.

207
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:29.840
Yep.

208
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:30.840
So everybody, please listen.

209
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:31.840
Here's what we want to do.

210
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:36.840
We want to send a message to the woke world and to those that are out there in the tech land.

211
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:41.840
When you go to her sites and when you subscribe, when you sign up, it sends a message.

212
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.840
It not only encourages her, but it sends a message to the powers that be, hey, wait a minute.

213
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:47.840
People are listening to this stuff.

214
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:49.840
And it just helps.

215
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:50.840
You can do it.

216
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.840
It's nothing.

217
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:52.840
Does it cost anything?

218
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:53.840
No.

219
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:54.840
Sometimes it does.

220
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:55.840
Okay.

221
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:56.840
It doesn't even cost.

222
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.840
Just go there and subscribe and give her some encouragement and send a message.

223
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.840
And by all means, listen to what she has to say.

224
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:04.840
We just love having her.

225
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:06.840
And Alibeth, great to have you here.

226
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:07.840
Thank you so much, Alster.

227
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.840
Thank you.

228
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:09.840
Thank you.

229
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.840
Thank you.

230
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:12.840
