Ep 691 | Pit Bulls, Assisted Suicide, & a Message to Christian Schools

Released October 13, 2022 by Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

 

Today we start off with encouragement and a call to action for parents and teachers in Christian schools to hold the line and not compromise on our values. It's worth it — and it's working. Then, we discuss tragic news that Canada is working to increase access to assisted suicide, even among minors. This kind of policy, rooted in a nightmarish redefinition of "care," is the inevitable end of a society that elevates the individual to a level of importance that should be reserved for God. Lastly, we address perhaps our most controversial topic yet — our utter disdain for pit bulls. We look at several stories that demonstrate the carnage that this breed disproportionately can cause to make the point that pit bulls just aren't safe to have as pets.
