Allie Beth Stuckey's debate with 'liberal Christians' is being praised for all the right reasons



Allie Beth Stuckey, BlazeTV host of “Relatable,” is receiving praise from across the internet after she debated 20 so-called "liberal Christians."

Last month, Stuckey participated in the latest installment of Jubilee's "Surrounded" series. The format is simple: Stuckey presents four "claims," and participants take turns debating her until a majority of the participants vote that opponent out. Rinse and repeat for 20 minutes for each claim.

'Allie Beth is a much better debater than I ever thought.'

These are the four "claims" that Stuckey presented:

  1. The Bible says that marriage is only between one man and one woman.
  2. Abortion is a grave moral evil.
  3. Empathy can be toxic and lead to sin.
  4. Progressivism and Christianity are at odds.

Most of the counter-arguments to Stuckey's claims were not novel. But what made this Jubilee debate different from previous installments was, for the most part, the respect that participants showed Stuckey through their disagreements.

Not only did most of the participants debate Stuckey with respect, but most of them sought to understand Stuckey's positions. And unlike previous Jubilee debates, none of Stuckey's interlocutors melted down or reduced the debate to personal attacks and mudslinging.

Of course, most of Stuckey's opponents held their ground — as did she. But Stuckey still managed to find common ground with many of them — and a few even ended up agreeing in principle with her claims.

Comments on the debate video were filled with praise, not only for the respect demonstrated between Stuckey and her interlocutors, but for Stuckey's command of scripture and Christian theology and the grace that she showed each and every person.

Here are just some of the highlights:

  • "The difference between Christian’s debating Christian’s vs Christian’s debating non Christian’s is crazy. This was the most respectful debate on jubilee I’ve ever seen."
  • "I’m not very religious and don’t know who any of this people are, but I have to confess this woman made me actually rethink my stands in abortion …"
  • "Allie just demonstrated 1 Peter 3:15 so well. This woman was prepared to give a defense and did so with gentleness and respect."
  • "Allie Beth Stuckey was clear, understood her positions well, was winsome, respectful, humble, and stood her ground. Even if you disagree with her, she provided an excellent model for civil debate and represented her positions well."
  • "Im not a religious person but... This was probably the most respectful debate episode I've seen on this channel and totally enjoyed it."
  • "Allie Beth is a much better debater than I ever thought."
  • "If you compare this to literally any other surrounded where both sides are not explicitly Christian this might be one of the best advertisements for Christianity as a baseline position of all people regardless of political belief I have ever seen."
  • "Even with any disagreements, This is what a debate should look like."
  • "This is probably the realest sermon these folks have had in a minute. Conviction has entered the chat."

How a Navy SEAL preached the gospel to millions



When self-proclaimed “backwoods Navy Seal wizard hermit” Chadd Wright walked into Joe Rogan’s studio, he didn’t have a script or a plan — just a prayer. And their Spirit-led gospel conversation ended up reaching millions.

“I’m very passionate about the faith that I’ve been given,” Wright tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey, explaining that he also owns a company called the 3 of 7 Project that’s committed to helping others grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.

“I listened to you on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and I said, ‘I like this guy,’” Stuckey tells Wright. “Because you were so persistent in sharing the gospel and so clear. I was just so drawn in to the whole conversation.”


“What was it like sharing the gospel on such a huge stage?” she asks.

“I was definitely scared as a cat going in there,” Wright answers.

“I’ve done a lot of crazy stuff in my life, both through being a SEAL and then through ultra-endurance sports. But that’s just like a different type of challenge that, you know, is hard for me. ... And so, I was scared going in there, but Joe was very welcoming,” he explains.

“He’s the one that led into that conversation around faith and why I believe the way I believe. I didn’t have to force that. He led us into that,” Wright tells Stuckey.

“I’m not an intellectual type, and the Holy Spirit took over and allowed me to say the things that I said. Truly ... I didn’t have any of that pre-prepared,” he adds.

ESPN forced her to get the COVID shot — then fired her anyway



Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele was among those in 2021 forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine in order to keep her job — but after complying and getting the shots, her employer let her go anyway.

Steele was taken off the air following a podcast appearance on “Uncut with Jay Cutler,” where she called vaccine mandates “sick” and “scary.”

“You’ve had this long career, this illustrious career, and it came to a point when truth was on the line, and you took a risk,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says to Steele.

“I had been suspended, punished at ESPN in 2021. As we tape this, exactly four years ago I was suspended and in bed, sobbing and scared to death of what was next,” Steele explains.


“I was suspended for speaking up about being forced to take the COVID vaccine in order to keep my job at Disney. ... I had to be fully vaccinated by September 30, 2021, or else, and I waited until the very last second, and I had prayed about it,” she continues.

While Steele was against taking the shots, the pressure she felt as a mother with bills to pay was too much, and she decided to comply.

“I was ready to walk away, but as the sole wage earner with three kids and an ex and alimony and all those things, I felt like I had to make the choice to do it to keep my job. I still struggle with that. I feel like I caved,” she explains.

“So, I did it, and I complied, and then I talked on a podcast about it,” Steele tells Stuckey, noting that she went on the podcast immediately after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, so she was extra angry.

“I said, ‘I think it’s sick and wrong for any employer to force an employee to do something to their bodies that they don’t want to.’ Pretty simple. I said, ‘But I love my job, and I need my job.’ And here we are,” she tells Stuckey.

“And that was the beginning of the end,” she adds.

Watch Allie Beth Stuckey demolish progressive Christians



Allie Beth Stuckey, BlazeTV host of “Relatable,” recently debated 20 liberal Christians on the newest installment of Jubilee's popular "Surrounded" series.

The format is simple: Stuckey sits at a small table in the middle of 20 self-identified "progressive Christians" and makes four claims. Then, one by one, her debate opponents rush to a chair opposite Stuckey and debate her until a majority of the debate participants vote that person out. The process repeats for each of Stuckey's claims.

Here are the topics that Stuckey debated:

  1. The Bible says that marriage is only between one man and one woman.
  2. Abortion is a grave moral evil.
  3. Empathy can be toxic and lead to sin.
  4. Progressivism and Christianity are at odds.

Before the debate, Stuckey revealed that Charlie Kirk — the greatest debater of our time — offered her sage advice on how to win this Jubilee debate.

"I wanted to cancel this debate, because it was right after Charlie died and the day before his memorial. But then I remembered that this was the last real conversation CK and I had. He was such a good friend," Stuckey wrote on X. "I took your advice, Charlie. Thanks for everything."

In text messages, Kirk advised Stuckey that "it's very important every time they make a claim" to question "is that biblical?" and "by what standard [do] you believe that?"

"You have them up against a wall — they will TRY and get you on a major difference of something prescriptive vs. descriptive — MOST of the ugly stuff of the Old Testament is DESCRIBING not PRESCRIBING to us. Very important difference," Kirk wrote in one text message.

Kirk, who participated in a Jubilee debate himself, also advised Stuckey of the "best two questions to ALWAYS ask."

  1. "What do you mean by that exactly?"
  2. What biblical evidence do you have to support that?"
"Those two questions can buy you time at any point; you can use them as a way to play offense," Kirk explained.

7 Reasons to be brave: Allie Beth Stuckey’s powerful call at Share the Arrows



The fragrance of revival has been drifting like incense across the nation ever since the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, . This feeling took physical form yesterday when 6,500 women from all over the country gathered in Allen, Texas, for Allie Beth Stuckey’s Share the Arrows conference.

After a day filled with worship led by Francesca Battistelli and lots of encouraging talks from some of the most prominent voices in conservative evangelicalism, including Alisa Childers, Jinger Vuolo, and Katy Faust, Allie took the stage to close out the event with a speech on something we desperately need if we want to keep this revival burning: bravery.

“Whether we die surrounded by our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren or whether we die young as a martyr, like Charlie, may it be said of us: she was brave for the Gospel until her final breath,” Allie declared.

While bravery is certainly a difficult road, we have “seven reasons” to be brave, she said.

1. Jesus was brave.

Although Jesus was fully God, he was also fully man, which means he needed bravery, Allie explained. He faced persecution, loss, grief, and pain, but because of his unparalleled love for humanity, He faced a criminal’s brutal death with courage.

Allie emphasized, “Jesus modeled godly bravery for us when he went willingly to the cross, even though he dreaded the pain that he would have to endure.”

In Matthew 16:33, Jesus encourages believers to face their own inevitable tribulation with bravery: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

How do we take heart in today’s modern world? We do what Christ followers have always done in the face of trial: “We do what God calls us to do, even when it’s painful, even when it’s unpopular, even when it’s scary, even when it requires sacrifice, even when we lose friends and we lose family and we lose jobs,” Allie affirmed.

2. The Holy Spirit empowers us to be brave

For Christians who fear they don’t have the courage to be brave, Allie reminded them that bravery comes not from our own strength but from the power of the Holy Spirit.

She noted, “When Jesus leaves this Earth, when he ascends to be at the right hand of the Father, he says, ‘I’m not leaving you alone. I’m leaving you with a Helper.’”

We were given the Holy Spirit because God, who created us, knows our limitations. “God made you not enough. He made you fallible. He made you finite so that you depend on Him,” Allie stated. This dependence isn’t just for salvation; it’s for the trials we face every day. But through the power of the Spirit, we can face our giants with courage.

3. God commands us to be brave.

God’s call for our bravery echoes in Scripture’s most repeated command: “Do not fear.”

In Isaiah 41:10, God tells us why we can be brave: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

In Matthew 10:28, He reminds us that while our bodies can be killed, our souls are His: “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.”

Whether facing literal death or the loss of human approval, Christians stride in bravery, anchored by God’s eternal strength.

Allie asserted, “The fear of the Lord is how we live, not the fear of man.”

4. God, not man, determines our day of death

To Christians who fear death, Allie reminded them that God numbers our days before we’re even born. To step out in bravery doesn’t change this.

God “is never looking down and wondering, ‘how did that happen?’” she said. “The tragic day that Charlie was assassinated – God had already pre-ordained that day to be the day that Charlie went to glory before Charlie was born.”

Quoting Scottish Presbyterian evangelist John Gibson Paton, who brought the Gospel to pagan tribes on islands in the Indian Ocean despite extreme hostility, Allie read: “I realized that I was immortal until my master’s work with me was done. The assurance came to me, as if a voice out of Heaven had spoken, that not a musket would be fired to wound us, not a club prevail to break our bones, not a spear leave the hand in which it was held vibrating to be thrown, not an arrow leave the bow, or be made ready to be loosed against us, without the permission of our Father in Heaven.”

“The day of your death is determined by God, so be bold,” Allie urged.

5. The day of victory is determined by God

Isaiah 25:8-9 tells us that “[God] will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth…It will be said on that day, 'Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us.’”

We can be brave because this is the future we look forward to, Allie encouraged.

6. Bravery is the Christian heritage

For millennia, brave Christians have carried the good news of Jesus to the ends of the earth, fearlessly facing persecution, martyrdom, and cultural hostility.

Allie gave the example of Sabina Wurmbrand – a Jewish-born Christian missionary, evangelist, and human rights advocate, who boldly preached the gospel during the brutal Stalinist era in Romania. The wife of a pastor, Sabina helped run her husband’s underground ministry amid communist persecution. Even though she faced imprisonment, slave labor, and surveillance for her evangelism, she continued sharing the message of Jesus Christ with oppressed believers, Soviet soldiers, and even prison guards – many of whom came to faith through her witness. After Sabini and her husband fled to America, they founded Voice of the Martyrs, an organization dedicated to supporting persecuted Christians worldwide by providing Bibles, aid, and advocacy.

Sabini’s story is one of many Christians whose bravery emboldened them to preach the gospel fearlessly despite persecution, imprisonment, and the shadow of death. In her memoir, she wrote, “Courage is not the absence of fear but the will to do what is right in spite of it.”

“That is our heritage as Christians,” Allie proclaimed.

7. The Gospel is worth it

“All of us are called to take risks for the gospel,” Allie stressed.

It doesn’t always look like starting a podcast or running for office. Standing up for Jesus is the work of stay at home moms and CEOs alike.

“The body of Christ and the kingdom of God is built on the unseen and unsung radiant obedience of Christians who believe with everything in them that the Gospel is worth it,” Allie concluded.

In a world craving courage, Allie’s charge at Share the Arrows ignited a spark, urging every woman present to embrace the fearless legacy of Christian bravery and carry the gospel’s light, no matter the cost.

Taylor Swift isn’t a role model — and it’s time for moms to stop pretending she is



Taylor Swift has long been lauded as a girl next door, the sweet, innocent, perfect role model for your young daughters — but after her latest album, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey is asking moms everywhere to reconsider their stance on the pop star.

“Okay, moms,” Stuckey begins. “Your daughters should not be listening to Taylor Swift. They should not be. She is not a role model. And it actually baffles me that there are Christian moms who will say, ‘Well, she’s better than Chapell Roan’ or ‘she’s better than Bad Bunny’ or ‘she’s better than, I don’t know, Selena Gomez.’”

"Y’all, the bar is in hell, if that is our standard. The bar could not be lower if we are deciding on the righteousness of our kids' entertainment choices based on the most degenerate stuff out there. That is not how Christians should be thinking,” she explains.

Back when Swift was a teenager, Stuckey recalls listening to her.


“We were in the same life stage. She was talking about this, you know, silly, superficial stuff. She was talking about teenage romance. She was not talking about opening up her thighs to someone who is not a husband. Okay? And that is literally what she is singing about,” Stuckey says.

“There is zero reason for you to allow your daughter to be listening to or going to the concert of Taylor Swift,” she adds.

Stuckey then quotes Song of Solomon 2:7, “Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.”

“I think it’s so important to make sure to do everything that we can to keep our daughters, to keep our kids on the right track spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Like, I think about the mistake that I made when I was a teenager and reading smut. … It wasn’t, like, explicit 'Fifty Shades of Gray,' but a lot of innuendo, a lot of, like, hot and heavy implication about what was going on behind closed doors,” Stuckey explains.

“That kind of ‘Twilight’ stuff I should not have been reading as a 16-, 17-year-old alone in my room because it creates in you a desire that cannot be fulfilled in a holy way. And purposely consuming content that creates in you, whether you’re an adult, but especially as a teenager, that creates in you a desire, a longing that may be natural, but cannot be fulfilled in a way that is honoring to God is not good,” she continues.

“And we as parents are called to steward our children,” she adds.

(Ready)Highlights from Allie Beth Stuckey’s Share the Arrows



Nearly 6,500 women from across the country gathered in Allen, Texas Saturday for Allie Beth Stuckey’s second annual Share the Arrows conference – a powerful event uniting faith, encouragement, and sisterhood to empower women to stand boldly in the truth of the gospel.


Worship and Opening

The event began with a soul-stirring worship session led by Francesca Battistelli, who performed moving renditions of “In Christ Alone” and Chris Tomlin’s “Is He Worthy.” Following worship, a lineup of dynamic speakers took the stage to address critical topics impacting women: Motherhood, marriage, health, and navigating today’s toxic cultural landscape armed with God’s Word.

Alisa Childers: Discernment in a Deceptive Age

Christian author, speaker, and apologist Alisa Childers opened with a compelling message on discernment amid widespread deception, particularly from “progressive Christianity,” which she said often cloaks demonic ideologies in modernized faith.

Using the analogy of Queen Anne’s lace and poison hemlock – two plants nearly identical in appearance but vastly different in nature – she urged women to distinguish God’s truth from Satan’s lies, which echo the age-old question, “Did God really say that?”

Whether addressing gender, sexuality, abortion, or marriage, Childers emphasized testing all things against Scripture - not fleeting emotions. “Discernment is when you employ knowledge and wisdom to test all things against the Word of God,” she said.0

But in order to live out that discernment, we must first conquer our fear of man. “Give me one woman who fears God more than anything else, and you will find an unstoppable force for Christ,” Childers encouraged.

Abbie Halberstadt and Hillary Morgan Ferrer: The Calling of Motherhood

In the second session, Allie sat down for a candid conversation with Christian author and homeschooling mother of 10 Abbie Halberstadt and Mama Bear Apologetics founder Hillary Morgan Ferrer about motherhood’s multifaceted challenges, including discipleship, gender, sexuality, technology, and relationships.

Halberstadt drew from her extensive parenting experience, while Ferrer, whose health-related infertility prevents her from having children, shared insights from her research on equipping parents to counter cultural lies with biblical truth.

The panel emphasized that all women – regardless of age, marital status, or fertility – are called to be mothers in some capacity. “All of us are called to a form of motherhood,” Allie encouraged. Whether that’s through having biological children, adoption, or mentorship, the panel urged women of all walks of life to reject the culture’s lies that being a mother is burdensome, and instead to embrace their God-given maternal calling.

Katy Faust: Championing Children’s Rights

Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, then delivered a fiery speech on protecting children from a culture that places their wellbeing on the altar of adult desire.

Addressing issues like divorce, same-sex marriage, and reproductive technologies that create motherless or fatherless environments, Faust highlighted the statistical truth that children thrive best with their married biological parents. “It is very difficult for children to answer the question ‘who am I?’ if they can’t answer ‘whose am I?’” she said.

Faust called for personal sacrifice – forgoing practices like surrogacy or egg/sperm donation – and relentless advocacy for policies that protect children, a fight she believes could “save our nation.”

Shawna Holman and Taylor Dukes: Stewarding Health as a Temple

Allie was joined on stage next by Shawna Holman, founder of the blog A Little Less Toxic, and Taylor Dukes, a medicine nurse practitioner, for a raw discussion on holistic health. Both women, having overcome severe health challenges – Holman’s chronic illnesses and Dukes’ brain tumor – shared how their journeys led them to advocate for non-toxic living.

They emphasized that Christians must steward their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit through mindful nutrition, exercise, sleep, and hormone balance. Holman advised, “Do what you can with what you’re able and as it makes sense for you,” while Dukes encouraged returning to “how God created us to live” in a fast-paced digital age.

Jinger Vuolo: Forging a Personal Faith

Jinger Vuolo shared her story of breaking free from the people-pleasing tendencies rooted in her upbringing on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting, which chronicled her Christian fundamentalist family in Arkansas. In her 2023 memoir, “Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear,” she describes moving beyond the “cult-like” and fear-based beliefs of her childhood.

With grace and compassion, Jinger has skillfully threaded the needle, forging a personal faith distinct from the one she was raised in, while still honoring her parents as scripture encourages. She warned that seeking human approval “often stops us from having genuine relationships,” inspiring women to pursue authentic faith and connections.

A Unified Call to Action

The Share the Arrows conference wove together a tapestry of faith, resilience, and truth, empowering women to stand firm in their God-given roles. From Childers’ call to discernment and Faust’s advocacy for children to Halberstadt and Ferrer’s redefinition of motherhood, Holman and Dukes’ focus on holistic health, and Vuolo’s journey to authentic faith, the event equipped attendees to confront cultural lies with Biblical wisdom. As these women united in Texas, they left inspired to live boldly for Christ, embracing their callings as mothers, stewards, and warriors for truth in a world that desperately needs their light.

ESPN Tried to Cancel Her. Here's How She Bounced Back | Sage Steele | Ep 1252

‘Doesn’t give martyr’: A response to Jackie Hill Perry’s Charlie Kirk comments



Jackie Hill Perry is a Christian author whom BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey has admired and agreed with on many issues, but whose stance on racial justice became abundantly clear in 2020 and led to her blocking Stuckey on social media.

Now, in a recent episode on her “With the Perrys” podcast, Perry explained that she doesn’t believe Charlie Kirk is a martyr — and Stuckey couldn’t disagree more.

“They misunderstand. ‘Why don’t you think he’s a martyr?’ And it’s like, because I heard what he said. And so, it’s not that I don’t appreciate his stances on abortion, on sexuality, on marriage, but it’s also, I hear other things alongside that that don’t give martyr,” Perry said.

“I want to get to the bigger point here, which is really important, and that is about martyrdom. Was Charlie a martyr? She says that other things that he said ‘didn’t give martyr.’ And I take issue with how that is phrased because that’s such a flippant way to be talking about the assassination of a brother in Christ,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey comments.


“What does the Bible say that a martyr is?” she asks. “When we look at the etymology of martyrdom and that word, what does it actually mean? Is a martyr someone who only says things we agree with? Is a martyr someone who never says things that are offensive? Is a martyr someone that has to be perfect and totally sinless? Is that how we define martyr?”

“Because it seems to me from that conversation that that is how they are defining it. Charlie Kirk said things that they don’t agree with,” she adds.

However, the biblical definition of a martyr is much different from the one Perry was basing her rejection of Kirk on.

“A martyr is one who bears testimony to faith, one who willingly suffers death rather than surrender his or her religious faith, especially their Christian beliefs,” Stuckey reads.

“When we look into the Greek term ‘martys’ — so when we look at the etymology, the study of this word, ‘martys’ literally means witness. So a witness to the truth. And what does witness mean? It means someone who attests to a fact, to an event, from personal knowledge. So one who so testifies. Now what does testify mean? To affirm the truth of,” she continues.

“What is not the definition of a martyr is someone who always agrees with us. Someone who never offends us. Someone who is sinless. Only Jesus was sinless. Someone whose words meet our definition of gentle or loving or kind. It is also not someone who never talked about politics or who voted a certain way,” Stuckey explains.

“That’s not how we define martyrdom,” she adds.
