Podcaster Is Uniting Conservative Christian Women

“ALLEN, Texas -- Music blared and red and green spotlights panned the crowd at the arena here one recent Saturday. Typically home to concerts, pro wrestling and the local pro hockey team, now it was packed with 6,700 conservative Christian women who erupted in cheers as Allie Beth Stuckey took the stage.

 

Stuckey, a 33-year-old popular conservative podcaster, greeted her audience with a call to fight.

 

"This is a spiritual battle that is waged in our homes and in our neighborhoods, at school, at your job," she said. "Every step you take, every decision you make, and every word you say is a declaration of war against the enemy."

 

"Amen!" rang out across the crowd.

 

Outraged by progressivism and alarmed by the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Stuckey aims to mobilize a swath of conservative Christian women ranging from dyed-in-the-wool true believers to prairie-core MAHA moms.

 

At her second annual "Share the Arrows" conference, women traveled from across the country and as far away as Australia to hear the tenets of her gospel: Christianity is under attack. Tolerance can be ungodly. And motherhood is queen.

 

"I love the sound of the babies in this room," Stuckey, a mother of three, declared at one point during the motherhood panel.

 

The discussion included advice on what a family should do if feeling apprehensive about having more children, especially in this economy. (The answer: Trust in the Lord, and He will make the path bearable.)

 

Stuckey's followers see her as heir apparent to Kirk, whom she counted as a friend, colleague and adviser. She advocates for the same brand of traditional, Scripture-proscribed Christianity, and following his death another 2,500 women signed up for her conference, she said. She is a headline speaker on this fall's "This Is the Turning Point" campus tour, which also features Erika Kirk, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson.

 

Stuckey says she sees herself competing with progressive churches for the "mushy middle" -- Christians who are scared of politics or who "veer to the left." Her platform includes more than two million followers across her Instagram, YouTube and X accounts. Her "Relatable" podcast is distributed by Blaze Media, which was founded by conservative commentator Glenn Beck.

 

In an interview, Stuckey said that whenever she speaks publicly she imagines one fictional woman. "The 35- or 40-year-old suburban mom of three or four kids that is busy, is trying to do her best to glorify God in her own life, to study the Bible more, and then to raise up her kids in a way that is godly and courageous."

 

Women, in turn, say they are drawn to Stuckey because she herself fits that description.

 

For decades, much of the evangelical world's focus has been on young men, a group that has been returning to traditional churches and helped elect President Trump. Now, with evangelicals growing in political power but not numbers, according to Public Religion Research Institute's Census of American Religion, Stuckey is assembling a large and varied cohort of conservative Christian women and urging them to speak up on issues they believe are important.

 

At the "Share the Arrows" event, the vibe was excited and expectant. The conference website instructed attendees to leave their "Relatabros" (husbands) at home, bring babies under 1 year old, and dress cute.

 

Tickets cost between $99 and $5,000, which bought VIP seating and a private lunch and dinner with Stuckey.

 

Inside the arena, Stuckey, who says she has beefed up her personal security since Kirk's killing, was escorted to the stage by bodyguards. Wearing white jeans, a corduroy shirt and cowboy boots, she told the women they needed to apply the message that "Jesus is King" to all areas of their lives -- and warned of the consequences when others resist that message.

 

Growing up in Plano, Texas, a Dallas suburb, Stuckey attended a conservative Christian school and Prestonwood Baptist Church. Her father, Ron Simmons, served three terms in the Texas House of Representatives and is a senior adviser to the Heritage Foundation, the primary organizer of Project 2025, the conservative policy initiative for Trump's second term.

 

Stuckey launched into the public sphere about a decade ago when she created a blog called "The Conservative Millennial," sharing her views on topics such as abortion and traditional gender roles.

 

At the conference, she drilled home the message that Christians have a duty to look at the world through a political lens. "There are a lot of people out there who will say, sure, I am on board with the Christian stuff, but I don't want to talk about the controversial stuff," Stuckey said.

 

But for Christians, issues such as marriage, gender and abortion are biblical, she said.

 

Among the "Christian stuff" that Stuckey believes the Bible deems true: There are only two genders, determined at conception, and marriage is between a man and a woman. She also believes abortion is murder and in vitro fertilization, surrogate parenthood and hormonal birth control are wrong, including in marriage.

 

Elizabeth Olson, a 43-year-old nurse from Apple Valley, Minn., left feeling encouraged. "There's something about being around other Christians, knowing you won't be mocked or looked down on as stupid for believing in the Bible," she says.” [1]
