On Allie Stuckey’s And Female Preaching

On October 11, 2025, conservative complementarian girlboss Allie Beth Stuckey was the headliner for a Christian conference sponsored by Blaze Media called “Share the Arrows.” The lineup was a veritable who’s who of female influencers.

On that same day, the Blaze official 𝕏 account began posting several clips from the conference, with one in particular from Allie Beth garnering a lot of attention.

Stuckey’s main point, citing Ephesians 2, was that humanity was once dead in sin, following the prince of the power of the air, but God, rich in mercy, saved us by sending Jesus to die on the cross and rise again. As soon as it was posted, the replies started rolling in that this felt and sounded like a sermon being preached, which is something the Bible forbids women to do. Stuckey supporters countered by saying that this was a conference, not a Sunday church service, and that she was only teaching women. So, we decided to add some fuel to the flames, in order that we might advance biblical patriarchy.

We pulled a quote from Allie Beth Stuckey’s “Relatable” podcast from May 1, 2023 called “Is My Podcast Sinful?”. The context at the time was Allie Beth’s response to both Joel Webbon and Dale Partridge, who had recently made statements condemning the phenomenon of Christian women with large public platforms. Stuckey defended her position in explicitly complementarian terms, saying:

Even though I know I am mentally and physically capable of stepping to a pulpit on Sunday morning and delivering a more biblically sound, exegetically exquisite, persuasive, and dynamic sermon than many male pastors in America today, I can’t do it because that is not the realm to which God has called me as a woman.

It was this quote that we tweeted above the clip of Allie Beth’s sermon, with zero additional commentary. The point we were making was clear. Stuckey believed in 2023 that she was equipped to preach better than most male pastors, but she chose not to since the Bible forbids it. But in 2025, she’s more than happy to use her preaching “gift,” provided that she has enough plausible deniability. If you’d like to see the 2023 quote in its full context, you can find that here.

Once again, the complementarians came out in force, but with more fire this time since their queen was now being shown to be a hypocrite. The Bible simply does not make the distinctions that Stuckey supporters presume that it does. 1 Timothy 2:12 reads, “But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.” This contains two separate commands: that women are not to be teachers and also not to exercise authority over men. Thus, preaching only to women is disallowed. Second, they say that it was fine for Allie Beth to do this since it was not part of a Sunday worship service, but this is a distinction without a difference. The time and place are irrelevant to what she was doing, which was preaching by any definition of the word. And once again, Scripture nowhere makes an allowance for female preaching, just not on the Lord’s Day. As others have said, complementarians allow female authority in every hour of the week except for that special time on Sunday morning. Our critics became all the more enraged when we made the simple statement that “Women’s conferences shouldn’t exist. All they do is create Christian girlbosses like ABS.” All of these female speakers are being pulled from their proper vocation, and they, in turn, pulled 6,500 other women from their homes as well.

Because of the virality of our tweet and others, word eventually got back to one of the other speakers, Alisa Childers. She made a lengthy response to the patriarchy about women talking to women in public settings. It was designed to be a struggle session of the men complaining about the conference, humble bragging about how she approaches controversies without actually answering for why this conference was so necessary. At the end, she offered the following Jesus juke: “After asking these questions and taking any necessary actions, I remind myself that none of the people who are making the claims will be there with me when I stand face to face with Jesus.” And so there again we see the complementarian in all her vainglory, that she is accountable to no one but Jesus. Not her husband. Not her elders. No one else.

We are very pleased to have amplified this very important issue. Husbands and fathers should repent of spending hundreds of dollars to send their wives and daughters to these events. Women are to live quiet and gentle lives, learning (by example) from older, wiser women in a church context, not from Christian career women who are shirking their primary responsibilities.
