Summary

In this episode, Allie explores the exploding social media trend of going "no contact" with family members, where Gen Z and Millennials are cutting off parents and siblings at record rates in the name of mental health, boundaries, and self-protection. From TikTok testimonials and celebrity examples to the influence of therapy culture and books like "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents," Allie examines how social media, broadened definitions of trauma, and the rise of "chosen family" have normalized family estrangement. She contrasts this with a biblical view that calls Christians to honor parents, pursue reconciliation where possible, practice forgiveness, and recognize the unique value of biological family — even when imperfect. Allie discusses when no contact may be warranted versus when it is driven by selfishness, echo chambers, and a cultural idolization of personal comfort over commitment. Watch now for a thoughtful, faith-based perspective on this growing phenomenon. Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!

this week, this day by reminding you, God's eternal plan of redemption. It's going off without a hitch completely. Last time I checked, the last time I read my Bible, I said, oh, yep, there it is. He's never surprised. He's never taken it back. He's never caught off guard. He's never looking at your life, looking at the state of the world, looking at our political situation and wondering how the heck did this happen. I didn't see that coming. I don't know how to clean up this mass. I don't know how to put things back together.

God is totally sovereign. He is not limited by our linear timeline. He is not limited by time and

space. He knows everything. And he is all powerful. And sometimes with that knowledge, it's easy to think,

2:23.9

wow, how does he allow all these bad things to happen? If I were in charge, I wouldn't allow these

2:28.5

bad things to happen. And I totally understand the temptation to think that, whether you're
