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.

Andy Stanley is an absolute disgrace to his father's legacy, I cannot imagine how much pain his heresy caused Dr. Stanley 😔

It's a given that pride parades are gonna be freak shows. What I'm more concerned with are the *idiotic* "parents" who take their kids there knowing full well what will be going on.

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?

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 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.

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.

Thank you Allie Beth for holding on to the truth and promoting Biblical Christian standards.

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 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!

Me too, I am a PROUD American. Love my Flag

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". 💲💲

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. 😒

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??!!

this is what you call a dangerous preacher in the first degree......

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!!! 🙏❤️

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.

Great podcast! You so eloquently express what millions of us believe in a respectful and loving manner. Thank you!

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 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🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸

Allie never misses with her commentary. 🎯🎯🎯

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."

Andy Stanley rejects the Bible Jesus Christ used…the Hebrew Scriptures 🤦‍♂️😳👎

When I was part of the Buckhead Church in my 20s, I joined a Bible Study small group. They made all of us sign a contract they called the "Covenant" that all the members in the group would not share anything that was said in the meetings, and that if another person was to join we had to all vote and agree that they could come. A few other things were on there like we wouldn't miss more than 2 meetings, etc. I asked to bring another young woman from work/school who was asking me questions and wanted to attend when I invited her. The group told me she could come one time as a visitor but then she would have to join her own group. I said well since I am the only one she knows she would prefer to be in my group, of course. They said next sign up was in the Spring (It was Fall at the time) and they would be happy to get her in a group then. I left the group and told them straight up, respectfully, that Jesus always had room for everyone and I don't think he would have ever supported something like that. See- I grew up in churches where they were HAPPY about visitors, and even if they didn't have another chair, they would find one. Get a plate, get a drink, come on in. Sit on the floor if you have to. That's how much Bible Study w and Fellowship was valued. That's how much sharing the word of God with others was valued. You never know if that time is that person's moment where all becomes clear for them and they want to invite Jesus into their life. Why would you want to stand in the way of that and turn people away from that? Jesus NEVER did that in scripture. Quite the opposite. Bible Study is not to be treated like a sorority or a fraternity where everyone has to look the same and like each other. It's a very spoiled way to look at going to church. That your goal is to make sure everyone is surrounded with their type of people so no one feels uncomfortable. When you go to other countries where they are just happy to be meeting in a safe place without being killed, and just thrilled to get their hands on a Bible and find other Christians to worship with, that puts it in perspective for you. So after going through that with the Buckhead Church, I have to say I'm not surprised at this. I'm happy if people are finding Christ there, that's amazing and I would never be against that, and there are some nice people who attend there, but my personal experience was not a good one. Andy is starting to be more bold about how he really thinks, and how I believe he thought all along, so I think that's telling and people will have to decide if they want to be part of that. Some of the stances he is taking are clearly not biblical.

*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*

Feel better soon Allie in Jesus Mighty Name!

I was saved listening to an Andy Stanley message when he was on staff at First Baptist. He baptized me. Praying. 🙏

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

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.

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🙌

Great episode, Allie! Enjoy your Independence Day festivities tmo with your dear family!🎉Hope your voice heals soon! Your Christian leadership is an inspiration!😊

I’ll sum up his message in one sentence: Love others no matter what they believe , and no matter who they vote for.

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.

Andy Stanley, REPENT! Being exposed, is the mercy of God! Time is running out.

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!!!

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 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.

Amen Allie! Spot on!!!!

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.

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.

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."

Man, for me Andy is gay. Just my opinion

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!!

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.

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.

Thank you for standing up for truth, Allie! Praise the Lord.

Feel better soon, Allie Beth! My gratitude to God for such a great servant as you. 🙏🏽

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.

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.

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 😊

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.

Would love for you to interview him. That would be sooo awesome.

Andy Stanley & Adam Hamilton sadly have strayed in speech & in practice. The Bible predicts such behavior.

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.

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..

Once again, Thank you Jesus, and thank you Allie for being so BOLD and unashamed of the Gospel of our Sovereign GOD…

❤ Thank You, Allie for handling these issues to the Glory of God❤

This was so incredibly well spoken. God’s blessings on you as you continue to speak the truth without apology.

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.

Having excommunicated the Apostle Paul, Moses, and Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, Andy Stanley is showing himself to be an unbeliever.

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.

Thank you for this. It has reminded me to listen to Andy Stanley more regularly.

Human logic falls way short of God’s design . Thank you God for your mercies and grace , and forgive our arrogance . 🙏

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

Allie you are speaking truth in humility and grace!!!

We all should be proud of the country that God has placed us

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.

Thank you for speaking up, is appreciated 🙌🏾

Thank you Allie for addressing difficult issues... blessings

- people should not be throwing bricks at anybody!.

Praying for you and your family Allie.

Appreciate you so much Allie, your commentary is so meaningful. Prayers you feel better. It might be allergies.

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!

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.

“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.

TRUTH shared once again Allie! Thank you for JUST saying what EVERYONE KNOWS. This is NOT IGNORANCE…this is PURE EVIL.

Amen all over again! Keep on, my sister!

Toxic empathy is False Compassion 💯

Happy 4th of July Allie and everyone! God bless and heal our land… and get Andy Stanley on board!!!

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.

Andy Stanley used to teach that "Is it wise?" is one of the best questions Christians could ask. So I would ask Andy today, "Is it wise for Christians to vote for Democrats?" It's an obvious answer...

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.

Thank you so much Allie!! God bless you and keep you!!

It doesn't matter how well these false teachers speak we are to call them out. Keep doing that.

Awesome episode, Allie! Thank you for speaking truth every day!

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.

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.

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.

We accidentally ended up at a pride parade 35 years ago in Philadelphia and it was exactly as you describe. Dressed in S and M. Sexually exsplicit, Angry and Naked.

Amen! God bless my Reformed theology sister!

"The toddler literally jumped off his feet with wide eyes and mouth agape. The mother looked down at the driver with an expression of fierce anger as he laughed at her".

This show was one of your very best!

- you and your family have a blessed 4th of July Allie ,and yes your voice will come back as you already know and believe

Good piece, thanks for standing up

Only 28 minutes in, and I’m a new subscriber. Thank you for speaking truth.

Thanks for speaking truth

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 😢

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.
