Allie I agree 100%. I used to be a part of the LGBT+ community and unfortunately I got to a point that I was convinced there was so much hate in the world I had to do something about it (similar to Audrey). On my way to do such I was radically encountered by the Holy Spirit and He revealed to me who He was and is and in that moment I chose to follow Him. I praise God for pulling me out of what the enemy had planned for me. God is good and His word truly is alive! Romans 8:28 This world needs Jesus! We must continue to fight the good fight with endurance!! Praying for all those involved and affected!!
I attended this church a few weeks ago. I was blown away by the expository Bible teaching and Spirit led sermon that the pastor led. He is one that lost his daughter in the massacre. We are very raw here in Nashville. Not too much hope right now. Pray for our city.
Please don't take this as a minimization, but you have police who are willing to risk their lives for strangers. I praise God for heroes that bring a picture of Christ in a time of tragedy.
Sending love, 🙏 prayers and my deepest condolences to the families, loved ones and friends who lost those precious souls. May God give each one the peace that passes all understanding. Lord Jesus bathe them in your comfort. Randall, a fellow Tennessean.
I've been praying for mass shootings to stop, or at least reduce, for years now. They keep on happening with tragic, heartbreaking results. What else can be done? You already know in your heart but too many are willfully ignorant and stubborn about legislation to restrict gun access. I'm a full-blown libertarian type and even I've had enough. I actually want to see something change...but we won't even consider trying anything new to try to reduce this violence...
As a pregnant mom with a toddler, I felt Allies pain when she cried. I can't think of anything worse than losing your children, and I pray God would send those mothers peace in this horrible situation.
As devastating as it would be to loose my children to such evil, I would be equally as devastated to be the mother of the one that did such evil. To know I created, bore and raised such a child that would grow up to shoot up a school and all in it that she could, would put me into a depression that I would never come out of as long as I was living in this world. I pray for the families of those that were murdered, by my heart cries for the shooter’s parents as well. They too have my prayers.😥🙏🏻
@LindyTN I totally understand that but God says to raise them in the way they should go and they won't depart from it. I think that's why it's vital we teach our children about Jesus from a young age.
Firstly this video brought tears to my eyes let's pray for all the families going through such a heartbreaking time. I say this with respect, always check your bible and hold no one on a pedestal, even Allie mentioned something similar to that once. Humans can make errors and say incorrect things for example at around 11:11 on the video she says God hates murderers WRONG God is holy he hates NO ONE. He hates SIN the sin of murder. I empathize deeply with the families affected, they are in my heart and in my prayers. =( Let this drive us to pray for the world lord and for our hearts to be filled with more love and not hate.

I literally finished Voddie Bauchems book" Fault Lines" yesterday. You have the victimhood mentality explained exactly correct. My wife has been a teacher in reformed christian schools and when the "anti bullying campaign " started years ago in the secular schools we right away said this is not about anti bullying it is an agenda to destroy christian values.
There's a report that her parents would not call her Aiden and she was not to dress as a man in their home. The report also said that she planned to kill her family, and shoot up a mall. My heart also goes out to her family because even though alive, they are victims too. I imagine there's some people who want Christians to honor their beliefs but will not respect ours celebrating right now. Thank you for your uplifting message to remind us that God is in Charge. I believe we are in the tribulation right now based on the earthquakes, government corruption, no love for other people and the persecution of Christians. It will get worse and that's what is meant from the Bible to stay strong and in the faith.
I needed this. I've been searching for this since Yesterday as my 4 year old and my pregnant wife look to me for consolation. I will follow the Lord. God Bless You Allie!
This one is hitting me extra hard too! Maybe because they are brothers and sisters in Christ and I know I KNOW THEY ARE IN A BETTER PLACE! This keeps me going, but I still hurt for those left here with the loss. Just praying these families faith and trust will deepen ❤
12:00-“His patience is NOT apathy!” I am going to hold on to Psalm 37 and that statement. Appreciate you unpacking the horror of this latest evil act and encouraging our hearts today, Allie.
I cried all through this. And now Psalm 37 has a new beauty and comfort to me. Thank you, Allie, for speaking truth through this painful and emotional (and yes, personal) tragedy.
Did you cry when that White supremacist shot up a black church? Did you cry when a white supremacist shot up a largely Hispanic shopping center in Texas? Did you cry when a white supremacist shot up a mall with a large African American clientele in NY? Did you cry when a terrorist shot up a gay bar in Florida? Please save your tears!
My family and I experienced an unexpected tragedy two years ago (my elder sister passed away), so I understand the questioning of God's love. All you can really do in times like these is lean on Him more and refuse the temptation of allowing Satan into your heart to corrupt your view of God and get you to turn away from Him. Of course, it's easier said than done, but I, personally, found it freeing when I eventually learnt to do this - thankfully, our family drew even closer to God during this time and has fared way better for it! "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken" - Psalm 55:22
I believe at least one of them is the same age as the shooter was. 28yo. One chose a life of sacrifice and service and the other chose selfishness depravity and ultimately evil.
Waited a bit before saying this I lost my son six years ago and I was held together by the Holy spirit who I considered super glue at the time but recently I am crying a lot he was thirty three. I feel so bad for the parents of the nine year olds I at least least saw Micheal grow up. I also feel so much for the parents of the shooter because their girl was messed up they sent them her to a Christian school they must be Christian in some way she just didn't accept it We also need to remember the families of the adults that were killed.
So sorry you lost your son. I've been thinking about her family too. I'm certain they'll come under extreme attack and their lives will be shattered by this.
I also feel like this hit me extra hard. I don’t know why. In the past I’ve felt grief for the parents, children, teachers etc but this just hits differently. I feel the grief but it’s more an anger that I feel. I’m furious and I don’t know why. Every time a child is murdered it makes me mad but this time I’m seeping with anger. Maybe it’s because my oldest will start prek in August at a private Christian school. Maybe it’s the boiling point for where we are in the world and just so angry that this is a direct cause of the lie every single secular person is spewing. Maybe it’s righteous anger manifesting in believers. I don’t know what it is but I’m furious. I have so much anger towards every terrible person offering that monster an excuse and blaming her parents and the school. I have so much anger towards the unGodly pushing the lie and celebrating mental illness. I want to see my children grow up and experience being mothers one day but each day draws me closer to begging Jesus to come back because the evil is so strong in this world.
This is such a heartbreaking time for the families and by extension all of us, the body of Christ. Thank you, Allie for your words and wisdom. We are crying with you. As you said we must do the next right thing with excellence and for the glory of God. And boldly with compassion and love.
Oh Allie, I love your verse psalm 37:1. I am a 65 year old grandma now but when I was your age my heart was so heavy for my kids and the world they were growing up in. One day I prayed God would help me and my Bible opened up to this very verse! I have hung on to it all my life! I love your testimony about the ring as well. It will stick with you all your life! 💗. God is the same, yesterday, today and forever..
Well said Allie. Thank you for speaking the truth of the Word boldly. Praying for these families, our families, and the families of our country. Psalm 46:10a “Be still and know that I am God. “
As a teacher, this is my worst nightmare. The heartache for what happened on Monday is indescribable. The questions are many and yes, there is outrage that lives in my heart. But God…. I do not understand. My Bible study group has been studying the Old Testament and it is there that I see the character and nature of our loving Heavenly Father. As I look at the books of Isaiah and Jeremiah and see all the evil that was going on at that time, I see that yet, God is faithful and victorious. Thank you, Allie, for pointing us to Him. It is there that we will find our peace and comfort. These days are difficult and one thing is for sure, they make me long for heaven. God is good even on our worst days❤️
My heart is feeling so soft and broken. I feel your pain Allie, bless you, and I just found out I was 7 weeks pregnant and so as a mom to be, I cannot fathom losing this precious child. especially in such a horrific way someday. I really felt my heart swell when you shared your new sponsor since I’m 7 weeks, and i also live about 40 minutes from Nashville so this whole event is hurting my heart so much. We need yo lift so many prayers, He hears us and he will comfort those families and us.
Oh Allie, thank you so much for being so real and vulnerable. Love you sister in Christ. Keep doing what you do. So thankful for your show and all of the truth you speak. ❤❤
The Bible says the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. If He stops every evil, would we really have free will? Look at the enemy, he’s the one who was able to take those lives, why? That’s the question we should be asking. People say God is sovereign- yes he’s the beginning and the end and he is Lord but we have dominion over this earth which is why this world is the way it is.
I believe a major reason this is hitting harder is because with all the other stories the victims are respected and treated as such but in this case those that were killed and victimized are cast aside for the defense of evil committed by someone representing their ideology. They are siding with the murderer instead of those whose lives were taken unjustly and cruelly.
Hi Allie, Thank you for being the light in such a tragic darkness. I have watched other podcasts talk about this shooting and you are the only one that approached this sensitive topic from a true Christian perspective. It's easy as humans to talk from a place of anger and hate but thank you for addressing it in a Godly, biblical way and helping us find comfort in God's perfect plan.
Yes, as a mother and grandmother and a follower of Christ for 38 years, I have cried many tears and I’ve yelled at God a few times why he allows such evil. My only hope is knowing the word of God and that that day of reckoning is coming. The scripture that kept coming into my mind last night after I was thinking of those poor little children, is “let the little children come on to Me”. They’re in Jesus’s arms. We are living in the evil day. Jesus is coming soon it’s just all falling into place scripturally prophetically. Hold your children close to you folks.
Did you cry when that White supremacist shot up a black church? Did you cry when a white supremacist shot up a largely Hispanic shopping center in Texas? Did you cry when a white supremacist shot up a mall with a large African American clientele in NY? Did you cry when a terrorist shot up a gay bar in Florida? Please save your tears!
The most real, powerful and scariest answer I have heard to the question of "Why God allows evil things to happen". I don't think we grasp the concept of God's righteous wrath at all! Thanks so much for your courage and clarity, Allie❤
Thank you so much Allie for giving this righteous response to such an evil act. We need your voice to help quiet the lies of the enemy within our own hearts.
It's on them. They have a choice. They have free-will. Satanic forces enter into a person when they willingly allow it. They want it. From my point of view, I don't see it as tragic I see it as the inevitable outcome of allowing themselves to be handed over.
10:16 when you mentioned psalm 37 one of the few bible versus i actually know, i got massive chills. my 1/2 inch arm hair stood almost straight up. woah.
Thank you for the reminder of that song. My kids were home schooled and also went many years to Christian schools. Only two years in a charter school. In his 20's my son was into drugs. My daughter now 42 has spent over twenty years with some serious mental illness. She now identifies as non binary and lesbian. I can see her like this Aubrey, if she wasn't on her meds. I think of the verse about the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Being on mental meds can be a large portal that allows Satan to come in and destroy. Jeremiah 29:11, was probably claimed my Aubrey's mom and dad. Thank you Allie, God is leading in the words you speak. God bless you.
Thank you. Please never be ashamed to cry in your videos. This is a tragedy to weep over. You are right to cry. Thank you for your tears. Amen. Come Lord Jesus!
Thanks for this. I was a preacher for years that got fed up with "the church". I've been taking care of my mother who's dying of brain cancer since Nov. She's on Hospice now and I'm her caregiver. I've seen numerous miracles yet my Mother hasn't been healed. As this shooting took place I haven't seen my daughter and wife since Nov, in person. It made it all the more real, that pain of not seeing my daughter is temporary for me, not for this pastor! That breaks my heart for him. And then to have all these T activists throwing it in his face! Wow! Anyhow, again thanks I needed this video.
Excellent episode, Allie. I cried too. Don't apologize for getting emotional. This hit close to home. I love what you shared. Congratulations on your new little one! I pray for strength for you.
I’m listening to this podcast right now while at the gym and I’m gonna have to leave to go cry in my car with you. I can’t imagine the pain these parents/families are going through.
I often feel very frustrated that we are not able to understand why on earth so many terrible things happen that are completely unfathomable. And then to have such evil responses from people on the left and people in power. So concerned with the wrong things rather than the families grieving the loss of those lost. I truly believe God is almighty. He’s big, just and powerful. Love and sin and free will is just too big for my 3lb brain. I hate that people have to endure such difficult things. I just pray that God and his people can comfort and strengthen those goes through hell right now

I rarely cry reading news stories but seeing the photo of the pastor with his precious daughter just broke me. Jesus, be near to the brokenhearted and may Your presence be felt in tangible ways. Strengthen these families and everyone affected by this senseless tragedy. May Your gospel go forth even in the midst of this devastation.
“When we pray, God either gives us what we ask for, or he gives us what we would have asked for if we knew all that he knows.” Tim Keller God sees more than we ever could. We have to simply trust Him in these horrible situations.
Dear Allie, I grew up in Davidson County (Madison, TN). I've been crying off and on and praying for all these people involved since Monday. I understand perfectly your emotions. I can't imagine what all the parents of those dead are going through, including the murderer's parents. God bless you and thank you for your bravery in telling the truth.
Let’s be careful not to attribute killing ,stealing and destroying to God’s sovereignty and His will…the Bible is very clear about who has come to kill steal and destroy…. Bad things happen to good people not because of God’s will, but because we live in a fallen world, and He has given us free will. Praying for the families hurting right now.
Praise God, Allie. The Holy Spirit indeed helped you to highlight the most relevant aspects of this story with grace and courage. "Jesus wept." And there is such a thing as righteous anger. You're right - we ALL suffer and struggle. That is where vulnerability can be helpful - other people see we have gone through a few things, too!
God will call His own home one way or another. It’s such a high factor that the ones that died knew and excepted Christ, therefore they are with HIM. We will see them again! And very soon! That is a HUGE peace factor. Imagine had it been a public school that didn’t have very many believers and then the adults parish and we never see them in eternity. THAT would be such a massive grief. So this is a huge wake up call if families are not training in the way of the Lord. We will greave and live with sadness but just know, we can know our eternity because the next day is never promised.
God was really putting it on my heart to listen what you have to say about the shooting. It turns out that psalm 37 was exactly what I ended up reading for my quiet time bible plan. It wasn’t planned at all but praise God! 🙏
Very well done show, Allie, despite the emotional difficulties. It was a well-rounded presentation of the biblical perspective on those senseless killings. It is indeed true that, while God seems to delay in punishing/stopping evildoers beyond what we might, He also punishes them beyond what we can conceive-and does it perfectly. I think John Macarthur puts it well: "Divine wrath is not an impulsive outburst of anger aimed capriciously at people God does not like. It is the settled, steady, merciless, graceless, and compassionless response of a righteous God against sin."
It really is heartbreaking and I don't know what they're going through today...I don't have kids yet, but I have a couple of godkids that I really love and I adore kids and can't wait to be a mom. This is such a difficult thing for everyone and I just hope and pray that they are leaning on God and letting Him hold them up through this. ❤
Thanks Allie, I appreciate your take and your discernment. It’s always difficult to answer “why does God”, especially when it comes to children suffering. The need to understand in itself is a trick of the devil, for we can never see the world as God does. This story hits for me as i see it as a crescendo to the gender ideology movement, and as many have already forseen, it leads to death, not life. Peace be with you.
Thank you Allie...continue to speak truth! Prayers of blessings over you! Prayers over this wicked world but we give God Glory for His Victory over evil!!
Heartbroken & grieving with all the parents. I found out recently that I lost very young cousins during the Holocaust by Bullets in Ukraine. I've really been struggling with the why..where was God when they were standing in front of the pits being shot, and why does He allow these horrible events to happen? Your words were so helpful and comforting. I know I'll still struggle with it and probably always will. But I know my hope is in God alone. Come quickly Lord, Maranatha.
Thank you Allie for reminding many of us that God is not doing nothing in the midst of tragedy such as this. May He comfort and bring peace and strength to the victims families. So very heartbreaking 💔🙏🏼
I am raising children who are Covenant children in Newtown, Pa. Our triplets are 12 years old and they attemd a similar school in Princeton, NJ. It is a Classical Christian School. We live each day as a unique gift Life is incredibly unpredictable. We are glad for our safety and protection and pray for tge same for EVERYONE. I appreciate the sensitivity. I am glad for her heart and glad for tge aforementioned martyrs who died for religious persecution. It was a hate crime!
As a reformed believer, like I believe you are Allie Beth, this does hit harder bc this was a PCA church. I was just at Ligonier National Conference last week which is primarily PCA, so I feel like these adults and children could have easily been in attendance at that conference. It could have been the children I passed daily and smiled at the fact their parents were making sure they were being raised with good gospel preaching.
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. -President Ronald Reagan
Thank you for those verses and words of truth and comfort - we live in Franklin just some 20mins down road from this church/school. I was literally at a christian homeschool coop at another area church for the day with my kids when I heard this was happening and suddenly felt so vulnerable. I am not personally touched as those families are but it has been hard to process today especially my oldest is 8. I plan to reread that psalms and share with anyone that needs it that I encounter in coming weeks. Hannah not James commenting here.
My cousin and her children work and attend the school. And were there that terrible day. Their poor hearts and souls. I pray they feel the Lord cover them in his love. They knew everyone taken.
Thank you Alley! A really difficult topic today! Prayers for you and those personally affected by this tragedy! You did a phenomenal job giving Christian Perspective on this 🙏🙏🙏The Lord Bless you and keep you and yours💖
I'll admit it. I am really struggling to control my anger towards those who are mocking the victims and their families, and praising this murderer. I have never seen such hateful rhetoric surface so quickly.
The sad part is that our country has rejected God. God has turned over those who worship evil to their evil desires. Every Christian should grieve at the evil we see and pray fervent prayer for those who are lost. In addition we should continue to shine a light on evil and offer hope through Jesus Christ.
Preach! 🙏🏼I don’t understand! We have to cling to Romans 8:28. Victim blaming is just sickening! These innocent children…… Lord, cover all of those families in your love & peace.
I live in the Nashville area.. its been a heavy vibe/feeling here in the city since Monday. Very fair question about How could a loving & just God allow this to happen? 1. As hard as it is to swallow. He has given us the ability & means to stop this before it happened. This city & every city honestly can afford to have security inside/outside every school. But we didn't do it. That apparently just wasn't a priority. God will help us - but we also have to be willing to help ourselves. 2. Even Jesus before he was crucified prayed in the garden for God to please take the cup from his mouth & if there was any other way for him to be savior of mankind to do it another way. & as Jesus was literally getting the crap beat out of him & nailed to the cross had to find the strength to trust the plan & not call it off. Which he could have at any point. So even Jesus Christ himself came to a point in life where he did not understand why God the Father was allowing something to happen to him. I've heard many pastors say that if Satan knew the good that was going to come from the violent gruesome death of Christ Satan himself would have not even allowed it to happen. But it did happen & had to happen to better the future of the world. Let's hope & pray that some day we will be able to see the good part of the reason(s) why God allowed this tragedy to happen in my hometown of Nashville,Tenn.
9:40 free will God didn't stop it because He gave us our free will. This includes being able to decide to do horrible things. 😢 The alternative would be that we are all puppets following His will. My prayers go out to everyone affected! 🙏 ✨ ♥
There no such thing as free will. The heart is absolutely wicked and will never choose to do good unless God transforms our heart. Thats why its called a new birth. You must be born again.
Than you for speaking truth! I whole heartedly am in agreement with you that God is at work in this tragic time. Ma God comfort us as we trust him and pray for healing.😢Thank you ❤
I pray The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, Our Savior and King Jesus Christ would be high and lifted up and exalted across the country and world through this darkness. I pray God’s promise to be close to those who mourn to be faithful and true because HE is Faithful and True. I pray His tender mercy flows like a balm over every broken heart. I pray that there will come a day when all will be able to say, “At first I had heard of you, but now I have seen You” I pray that none will fall away, but many more sons and daughters of glory will come forth. You are our only Hope Lord Jesus, we cling to You alone. Help us. We love You. Amen.

As devastating as it would be to loose my children to such evil, I would be equally as devastated to be the mother of the one that did such evil. To know I created, bore and raised such a child that would grow up to shoot up a school and all in it that she could, would put me into a depression that I would never come out of as long as I was living in this world.

All you can really do in times like these is lean on Him more and refuse the temptation of allowing Satan into your heart to corrupt your view of God and get you to turn away from Him. Of course, it's easier said than done, but I, personally, found it freeing when I eventually learnt to do this - thankfully, our family drew even closer to God during this time and has fared way better for it!
"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken" - Psalm 55:22
This one hits different because they are brothers and sisters, members of our own family. 💔
So mass shootings are only acceptable when "others" are the victims. Got it!
Allie you are a beautiful example of God's love. Crying with you 😢
The officers that killed her look like teenagers. They’re so young. Let’s pray for them too. ❤️💕
I believe at least one of them is the same age as the shooter was. 28yo. One chose a life of sacrifice and service and the other chose selfishness depravity and ultimately evil.
I agree. Those situations are hard to work with. As you said, prayers are needed for them too.
@@hardinmichael1981 that was kind of deep to be honest.
Waited a bit before saying this I lost my son six years ago and I was held together by the Holy spirit who I considered super glue at the time but recently I am crying a lot he was thirty three. I feel so bad for the parents of the nine year olds I at least least saw Micheal grow up. I also feel so much for the parents of the shooter because their girl was messed up they sent them her to a Christian school they must be Christian in some way she just didn't accept it We also need to remember the families of the adults that were killed.
So sorry you lost your son. I've been thinking about her family too. I'm certain they'll come under extreme attack and their lives will be shattered by this.
The shooter was changed after going to university/college.
Candace Owens has a video on it.
I also feel like this hit me extra hard. I don’t know why. In the past I’ve felt grief for the parents, children, teachers etc but this just hits differently. I feel the grief but it’s more an anger that I feel. I’m furious and I don’t know why. Every time a child is murdered it makes me mad but this time I’m seeping with anger. Maybe it’s because my oldest will start prek in August at a private Christian school. Maybe it’s the boiling point for where we are in the world and just so angry that this is a direct cause of the lie every single secular person is spewing. Maybe it’s righteous anger manifesting in believers. I don’t know what it is but I’m furious. I have so much anger towards every terrible person offering that monster an excuse and blaming her parents and the school. I have so much anger towards the unGodly pushing the lie and celebrating mental illness. I want to see my children grow up and experience being mothers one day but each day draws me closer to begging Jesus to come back because the evil is so strong in this world.
This is such a heartbreaking time for the families and by extension all of us, the body of Christ.
Thank you, Allie for your words and wisdom. We are crying with you. As you said we must do the next right thing with excellence and for the glory of God. And boldly with compassion and love.
Oh Allie, I love your verse psalm 37:1. I am a 65 year old grandma now but when I was your age my heart was so heavy for my kids and the world they were growing up in. One day I prayed God would help me and my Bible opened up to this very verse! I have hung on to it all my life! I love your testimony about the ring as well. It will stick with you all your life! 💗. God is the same, yesterday, today and forever..
Well said Allie. Thank you for speaking the truth of the Word boldly. Praying for these families, our families, and the families of our country.
Psalm 46:10a
“Be still and know that I am God. “
As a teacher, this is my worst nightmare. The heartache for what happened on Monday is indescribable. The questions are many and yes, there is outrage that lives in my heart. But God…. I do not understand. My Bible study group has been studying the Old Testament and it is there that I see the character and nature of our loving Heavenly Father. As I look at the books of Isaiah and Jeremiah and see all the evil that was going on at that time, I see that yet, God is faithful and victorious. Thank you, Allie, for pointing us to Him. It is there that we will find our peace and comfort. These days are difficult and one thing is for sure, they make me long for heaven. God is good even on our worst days❤️
I live in Nashville and right by Green Hills. This shooting was extremely difficult considering the physical proximity.
My heart is feeling so soft and broken. I feel your pain Allie, bless you, and I just found out I was 7 weeks pregnant and so as a mom to be, I cannot fathom losing this precious child. especially in such a horrific way someday. I really felt my heart swell when you shared your new sponsor since I’m 7 weeks, and i also live about 40 minutes from Nashville so this whole event is hurting my heart so much. We need yo lift so many prayers, He hears us and he will comfort those families and us.
Thanks for taking this on. As a fellow Tennessean and a mom myself, I can't fathom what those parents are going through.
Thank YOU!!!!! May God continue to bless you to continue to spread the Good News!!!!
Nice prayer. Holy Spirit. Thanks 🙏 from Nashville TN. Prayer warrior you are 🙏
Thank You for commending the officers. They are indeed heroes who stood up for good, and undoubtedly saved more lives. God Bless these courageous men!
Oh Allie, thank you so much for being so real and vulnerable. Love you sister in Christ. Keep doing what you do. So thankful for your show and all of the truth you speak. ❤❤
The Bible says the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. If He stops every evil, would we really have free will? Look at the enemy, he’s the one who was able to take those lives, why? That’s the question we should be asking. People say God is sovereign- yes he’s the beginning and the end and he is Lord but we have dominion over this earth which is why this world is the way it is.
I believe a major reason this is hitting harder is because with all the other stories the victims are respected and treated as such but in this case those that were killed and victimized are cast aside for the defense of evil committed by someone representing their ideology. They are siding with the murderer instead of those whose lives were taken unjustly and cruelly.
@@yabits then you’re not watching main stream media or paid attention to the tweets shown by Allie in this video.
Hi Allie,
Thank you for being the light in such a tragic darkness. I have watched other podcasts talk about this shooting and you are the only one that approached this sensitive topic from a true Christian perspective. It's easy as humans to talk from a place of anger and hate but thank you for addressing it in a Godly, biblical way and helping us find comfort in God's perfect plan.
Beautifully said! 🙏🏻
8:30 spot on sister 🎯
These are the big thoughts we have to submit ourselves to often as followers of the Most High 🙏💜🕊️
Yes, as a mother and grandmother and a follower of Christ for 38 years, I have cried many tears and I’ve yelled at God a few times why he allows such evil. My only hope is knowing the word of God and that that day of reckoning is coming. The scripture that kept coming into my mind last night after I was thinking of those poor little children, is “let the little children come on to Me”. They’re in Jesus’s arms. We are living in the evil day. Jesus is coming soon it’s just all falling into place scripturally prophetically. Hold your children close to you folks.
Thank you so much for this message. Such wisdom. God bless!
Did you cry when that White supremacist shot up a black church? Did you cry when a white supremacist shot up a largely Hispanic shopping center in Texas? Did you cry when a white supremacist shot up a mall with a large African American clientele in NY? Did you cry when a terrorist shot up a gay bar in Florida? Please save your tears!
The most real, powerful and scariest answer I have heard to the question of "Why God allows evil things to happen". I don't think we grasp the concept of God's righteous wrath at all! Thanks so much for your courage and clarity, Allie❤
Thank you so much Allie for giving this righteous response to such an evil act. We need your voice to help quiet the lies of the enemy within our own hearts.
So tragic that people can get so depraved and angry that they allow pure evil to take over their souls.
It's on them. They have a choice. They have free-will. Satanic forces enter into a person when they willingly allow it. They want it. From my point of view, I don't see it as tragic I see it as the inevitable outcome of allowing themselves to be handed over.
Thank you Allie for standing up for God's Truth ! Love watching your videos!
10:16 when you mentioned psalm 37 one of the few bible versus i actually know, i got massive chills. my 1/2 inch arm hair stood almost straight up. woah.
Thank you for the reminder of that song. My kids were home schooled and also went many years to Christian schools. Only two years in a charter school. In his 20's my son was into drugs. My daughter now 42 has spent over twenty years with some serious mental illness. She now identifies as non binary and lesbian. I can see her like this Aubrey, if she wasn't on her meds. I think of the verse about the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Being on mental meds can be a large portal that allows Satan to come in and destroy. Jeremiah 29:11, was probably claimed my Aubrey's mom and dad. Thank you Allie, God is leading in the words you speak. God bless you.
Thank you. Please never be ashamed to cry in your videos. This is a tragedy to weep over. You are right to cry. Thank you for your tears. Amen. Come Lord Jesus!
Tears are prayers that the Holy Angels here. It's ok to cry love
Thanks for this. I was a preacher for years that got fed up with "the church". I've been taking care of my mother who's dying of brain cancer since Nov. She's on Hospice now and I'm her caregiver. I've seen numerous miracles yet my Mother hasn't been healed. As this shooting took place I haven't seen my daughter and wife since Nov, in person. It made it all the more real, that pain of not seeing my daughter is temporary for me, not for this pastor! That breaks my heart for him. And then to have all these T activists throwing it in his face! Wow! Anyhow, again thanks I needed this video.
Excellent episode, Allie. I cried too. Don't apologize for getting emotional. This hit close to home. I love what you shared. Congratulations on your new little one! I pray for strength for you.
Thank you for defending the truth of the Gospel. The world will continue to erode until Jesus returns. Love your compassion ❤
Amen!!!!. The Word of God is True!!! Only God can give is the comfort we need during these hard times
I’m listening to this podcast right now while at the gym and I’m gonna have to leave to go cry in my car with you. I can’t imagine the pain these parents/families are going through.
I often feel very frustrated that we are not able to understand why on earth so many terrible things happen that are completely unfathomable. And then to have such evil responses from people on the left and people in power. So concerned with the wrong things rather than the families grieving the loss of those lost. I truly believe God is almighty. He’s big, just and powerful. Love and sin and free will is just too big for my 3lb brain. I hate that people have to endure such difficult things. I just pray that God and his people can comfort and strengthen those goes through hell right now
I cried while dropping my kids to school!! My prayers to the family.
I did too 😢

I rarely cry reading news stories but seeing the photo of the pastor with his precious daughter just broke me. Jesus, be near to the brokenhearted and may Your presence be felt in tangible ways. Strengthen these families and everyone affected by this senseless tragedy. May Your gospel go forth even in the midst of this devastation.
Amen! 🙏🏻
No idea who you are but needed this today. My old testament side was starting to boil over.
Canada is praying with and for all those involved.🙏♥️🇨🇦
“When we pray, God either gives us what we ask for, or he gives us what we would have asked for if we knew all that he knows.” Tim Keller
God sees more than we ever could. We have to simply trust Him in these horrible situations.
Thank you so much for this response and giving us hope.
Dear Allie, I grew up in Davidson County (Madison, TN). I've been crying off and on and praying for all these people involved since Monday. I understand perfectly your emotions. I can't imagine what all the parents of those dead are going through, including the murderer's parents. God bless you and thank you for your bravery in telling the truth.
Great job, Allie! I love your heart for the Gospel, and for the truth of God‘s Word! And that you are not at all afraid to speak your mind.
Let’s be careful not to attribute killing ,stealing and destroying to God’s sovereignty and His will…the Bible is very clear about who has come to kill steal and destroy…. Bad things happen to good people not because of God’s will, but because we live in a fallen world, and He has given us free will. Praying for the families hurting right now.
Yes! This!!! Well said.
Praise God, Allie. The Holy Spirit indeed helped you to highlight the most relevant aspects of this story with grace and courage. "Jesus wept." And there is such a thing as righteous anger. You're right - we ALL suffer and struggle. That is where vulnerability can be helpful - other people see we have gone through a few things, too!
God will call His own home one way or another. It’s such a high factor that the ones that died knew and excepted Christ, therefore they are with HIM. We will see them again! And very soon! That is a HUGE peace factor. Imagine had it been a public school that didn’t have very many believers and then the adults parish and we never see them in eternity. THAT would be such a massive grief. So this is a huge wake up call if families are not training in the way of the Lord. We will greave and live with sadness but just know, we can know our eternity because the next day is never promised.
God was really putting it on my heart to listen what you have to say about the shooting. It turns out that psalm 37 was exactly what I ended up reading for my quiet time bible plan. It wasn’t planned at all but praise God! 🙏
Psalms 37, the whole chapter!!, Is my favorite too💖💜💘. This episode is making me 😭. So thankful for God's truth in Psalms 37!!🙌🏼🙏🏼
I know what you mean, this just hits differently, I’ve cried in my car numerous times, I can’t stop listening to gospel music… Lord be with us.
Very well done show, Allie, despite the emotional difficulties. It was a well-rounded presentation of the biblical perspective on those senseless killings. It is indeed true that, while God seems to delay in punishing/stopping evildoers beyond what we might, He also punishes them beyond what we can conceive-and does it perfectly.
I think John Macarthur puts it well:
"Divine wrath is not an impulsive outburst of anger aimed capriciously at people God does not like. It is the settled, steady, merciless, graceless, and compassionless response of a righteous God against sin."
Such a great quote. Thank you and God bless!
It really is heartbreaking and I don't know what they're going through today...I don't have kids yet, but I have a couple of godkids that I really love and I adore kids and can't wait to be a mom. This is such a difficult thing for everyone and I just hope and pray that they are leaning on God and letting Him hold them up through this. ❤
You're out on the frontline . I'm grateful to be amongst all those who pray for you.❤
Thank you Allie for speaking so beautifully and articulate. Our hearts are so broken. You’re right, it’s so close to home.
May God comfort these families, the school, and church. Lord, we need You! Thank you, Allie, for taking on this hard topic.
Thank you, Allie. This is heartbreaking. Your voice is needed and we appreciate you. 🤍
Thanks Allie, I appreciate your take and your discernment. It’s always difficult to answer “why does God”, especially when it comes to children suffering. The need to understand in itself is a trick of the devil, for we can never see the world as God does.
This story hits for me as i see it as a crescendo to the gender ideology movement, and as many have already forseen, it leads to death, not life.
Peace be with you.
Thank you Allie...continue to speak truth! Prayers of blessings over you! Prayers over this wicked world but we give God Glory for His Victory over evil!!
Heartbroken & grieving with all the parents. I found out recently that I lost very young cousins during the Holocaust by Bullets in Ukraine. I've really been struggling with the why..where was God when they were standing in front of the pits being shot, and why does He allow these horrible events to happen? Your words were so helpful and comforting. I know I'll still struggle with it and probably always will. But I know my hope is in God alone. Come quickly Lord, Maranatha.
Absolutely. Thank you for speaking up!!
Thank you Allie for reminding many of us that God is not doing nothing in the midst of tragedy such as this. May He comfort and bring peace and strength to the victims families. So very heartbreaking 💔🙏🏼
Your breakdown/assessment of this is 1,000% accurate, especially at 33:00. So sad.
I am raising children who are Covenant children in Newtown, Pa. Our triplets are 12 years old and they attemd a similar school in Princeton, NJ. It is a Classical Christian School. We live each day as a unique gift
Life is incredibly unpredictable. We are glad for our safety and protection and pray for tge same for EVERYONE. I appreciate the sensitivity. I am glad for her heart and glad for tge aforementioned martyrs who died for religious persecution. It was a hate crime!
As a reformed believer, like I believe you are Allie Beth, this does hit harder bc this was a PCA church. I was just at Ligonier National Conference last week which is primarily PCA, so I feel like these adults and children could have easily been in attendance at that conference. It could have been the children I passed daily and smiled at the fact their parents were making sure they were being raised with good gospel preaching.
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
-President Ronald Reagan
Thank you for those verses and words of truth and comfort - we live in Franklin just some 20mins down road from this church/school. I was literally at a christian homeschool coop at another area church for the day with my kids when I heard this was happening and suddenly felt so vulnerable. I am not personally touched as those families are but it has been hard to process today especially my oldest is 8. I plan to reread that psalms and share with anyone that needs it that I encounter in coming weeks. Hannah not James commenting here.
God bless you and your family, Hannah! 🙏🏻
🙏🏻Sensitively and passionately done Ali. God help us all.
My cousin and her children work and attend the school. And were there that terrible day. Their poor hearts and souls. I pray they feel the Lord cover them in his love. They knew everyone taken.
Your intro message from Psalms 37 set my heart on fire! God bless you for all that you do❤💥
Thank you Alley! A really difficult topic today! Prayers for you and those personally affected by this tragedy! You did a phenomenal job giving Christian Perspective on this 🙏🙏🙏The Lord Bless you and keep you and yours💖
As a Buddhist I know we all stand with you. The Demons will not win. Keep fighting brothers………
🙏🏼☸️🙏🏼
NAMOBUDDHAYA!
I'll admit it. I am really struggling to control my anger towards those who are mocking the victims and their families, and praising this murderer. I have never seen such hateful rhetoric surface so quickly.
“God allows what He hates, to accomplish what He loves”
The sad part is that our country has rejected God. God has turned over those who worship evil to their evil desires. Every Christian should grieve at the evil we see and pray fervent prayer for those who are lost. In addition we should continue to shine a light on evil and offer hope through Jesus Christ.
Thanks Allie for saying common sense! May God bless you! May God help people know the Truth!
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Preach! 🙏🏼I don’t understand! We have to cling to Romans 8:28. Victim blaming is just sickening! These innocent children…… Lord, cover all of those families in your love & peace.
I live in the Nashville area.. its been a heavy vibe/feeling here in the city since Monday. Very fair question about How could a loving & just God allow this to happen? 1. As hard as it is to swallow. He has given us the ability & means to stop this before it happened. This city & every city honestly can afford to have security inside/outside every school. But we didn't do it. That apparently just wasn't a priority. God will help us - but we also have to be willing to help ourselves. 2. Even Jesus before he was crucified prayed in the garden for God to please take the cup from his mouth & if there was any other way for him to be savior of mankind to do it another way. & as Jesus was literally getting the crap beat out of him & nailed to the cross had to find the strength to trust the plan & not call it off. Which he could have at any point. So even Jesus Christ himself came to a point in life where he did not understand why God the Father was allowing something to happen to him. I've heard many pastors say that if Satan knew the good that was going to come from the violent gruesome death of Christ Satan himself would have not even allowed it to happen. But it did happen & had to happen to better the future of the world. Let's hope & pray that some day we will be able to see the good part of the reason(s) why God allowed this tragedy to happen in my hometown of Nashville,Tenn.
9:40 free will
God didn't stop it because He gave us our free will. This includes being able to decide to do horrible things. 😢 The alternative would be that we are all puppets following His will.
My prayers go out to everyone affected! 🙏 ✨ ♥
There no such thing as free will. The heart is absolutely wicked and will never choose to do good unless God transforms our heart. Thats why its called a new birth. You must be born again.
Than you for speaking truth! I whole heartedly am in agreement with you that God is at work in this tragic time. Ma God comfort us as we trust him and pray for healing.😢Thank you ❤
I pray The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, Our Savior and King Jesus Christ would be high and lifted up and exalted across the country and world through this darkness. I pray God’s promise to be close to those who mourn to be faithful and true because HE is Faithful and True. I pray His tender mercy flows like a balm over every broken heart. I pray that there will come a day when all will be able to say, “At first I had heard of you, but now I have seen You” I pray that none will fall away, but many more sons and daughters of glory will come forth. You are our only Hope Lord Jesus, we cling to You alone. Help us. We love You.
Amen.
I couldn't watch this on UA-cam i listened in spodify but had to pop on here to comment and say thank you for this episode. I felt you to the core in the 40 minute mark speech of I don't care we all go Theodore hardship
Thank you so much! It's so sad! And Ill continue to pray for you.❤
I’ve been in tears so many times over the past few days. Pregnant too but very emotional all around and this just breaks me down. 😢
I immediately thought of this verse at your question of why thrown out. Romans 1:24-28; Being given over to our own sinful desires is a judgement from God. Appreciate your Biblical worldview on this traggic crime. New subscriber. 😪🙏💗📖🌱
Thank you. Awesome!
