Guest: Allie Beth Stuckey We're told that the key to happiness is self-love. We are told that if we learn to love ourselves, we'll be successful, secure, and complete.

The truth is we can't find satisfaction inside ourselves because we are the problem. And that's okay, because God is.

The rise of "cancel culture" has led many Christians feeling paralyzed and confused. We are afraid to speak up for fear of losing relationships, and in some cases, losing our jobs.
