Summary
Allie Beth Stuckey joins us on Pardon the Mess today to discuss our culture’s tendency to lean into meology—a me-centered theology. Instead of teaching the truths of scripture and discerning what the Bible says about God, we often turn our focus on what scripture says about us and look to find our value apart from God.
Allie and I discuss the five popular myths our culture embraces:
Myth #1: You are enough.
Myth #2: You determine your truth.
Myth #3: You’re perfect the way you are.
Myth #4: You’re entitled to your dreams.
Myth #5: You can’t love others until you love yourself.
Each of these popular myths are dispelled in Allie Beth’s new book: You’re not enough (and that’s okay).
Today’s podcast reminds us to be discerning of our culture’s messaging and always weigh it against God’s Word. It’s easy to hear biblical near-truths and mistake them for complete truths. The great news is: when we turn our focus back to the Lord, and recognize our inadequacies, we live in freedom. We are reminded that we don’t need to constantly strive to be enough because we belong to the One who is enough.
Allie Beth is an author, the host of Relatable (a popular podcast), and a frequent political commentator on national media outlets. When she’s not at home with her husband and one-year-old daughter, she speaks across the country about the importance of biblical values.

| 0:18.8 | We put our trust in a God who re-scripps our mess into |
| 0:21.5 | his greater message. That's the best parenting news we could ask for. Join us each week on |
| 0:25.8 | Part of the Mess as we walk the Parenting Road together. Hey, friends, this Cynthia. Welcome to |
| 0:30.6 | Party of the Mess. I'm glad you are with us. Today, we're chatting with Allie Stucky. And Ali Beth is a mom. She's a wife. She's the author of a new book, |

| 0:44.4 | level into the political arena. But today she's going to talk to us about her love for the Lord |
| 0:49.0 | and then some of the things that our culture is telling us, of the myths and why they don't line up with |
