She used to be pro-choice — until a Facebook comment changed her mind
As one of the most vocal conservative advocates for the pro-life cause, it may come as a shock to some that Allie Beth Stuckey used to be pro-choice — but without realizing it.
“I’ve always considered myself pro-life. I just have known reflexively and because I was raised in a Christian household that abortion is wrong, that it’s killing a human being, and that that is wrong, but I also knew that there were these rare exceptions that I thought needed to happen sometimes,” Stuckey explains on “Relatable.”
“I posted something to that effect on Facebook; I guess maybe I just adopted the general Republican position that yes, abortion is wrong, should be illegal, but there’s rape, there’s incest, there’s fetal anomalies. And I thought that was a sophisticated, nuanced, but fully pro-life position,” she continues.
When Stuckey posted this to Facebook, someone replied in the comments asking what the difference is between a baby conceived in rape and a baby not conceived in rape.
“That comment stopped me in my tracks,” she recalls. “I think that really had a big effect on how I started thinking about abortion, but I realized either in that moment or just over time that I was thinking about abortion, even as someone who called myself staunchly pro-life, as an abstract issue, as a political issue, and not from the perspective of the baby, and not really as murder.”
When she changed the lens through which she was viewing what she thought was just a “procedure,” she ultimately changed her mind.
“I wasn’t thinking about it in realistic, stark, terms, and that is that it murders a child and that the humanity of that person that’s being killed does not change based on the circumstances surrounding its conception,” she explains.
“I don’t know who that commenter was, but I’m thankful for them,” she continues, adding, “And you just never know how God is going to use your insistence upon speaking the truth in love.”

Should Austin Metcalf’s dad forgive his murderer?
Austin Metcalf was a 17-year-old who was murdered last week at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, allegedly by Karmelo Anthony, who allegedly stabbed Metcalf in the chest following a brief altercation.
Anthony was reportedly sitting in the wrong tent, one that was not designated for his school, and he was asked to move. Some reports claim Anthony replied “touch me and see what happens,” while others claim he said “make me.”
Metcalf then allegedly went to grab Anthony’s backpack, which Anthony was still wearing, which is when Anthony allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed him. Metcalf died in his twin brother's arms. When Anthony was apprehended by Frisco police, upon being referred to as a suspect, he said, “I’m not alleged; I did it.”
While a devastating and tragic loss, Metcalf's murder has sparked a heated debate online — one that is cultural, political, and racial.
The debate really began after Metcalf’s father gave an interview about his son’s murder.
“I want to make this very clear. This is not a race issue. This is not a black and white issue. I don’t want someone stepping up on a soapbox trying to politicize this. I don’t appreciate some of the remarks I’ve seen online that people say there was this fight. They don’t know; they weren’t there,” Metcalf’s father said.
“Some people were mad in thinking that he was defending the murder,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” explains. “I don’t think that’s what he’s doing. I think that he doesn’t want this very real human tragedy to be a part of a political discussion.”
The father also said, “This is murder. I don’t know. I know they have someone in custody, and you know what? I already forgive this person. Already. God takes care of things. God’s going to take care of me. God’s going to take care of my family.”
“I do not think it is correct to say the Christian is called to unconditionally and immediately forgive, no matter what. Now, that might be scandalous to say. I don’t think that that is the biblical example or the explanation that we are given for Christian forgiveness,” Stuckey says.
“I think if we read in context, we are not just talking about blanket unconditional forgiveness immediately in every circumstance. We are talking about, within these interpersonal relationships, especially with our fellow Christians, people who are seeking our forgiveness, people who are repenting,” she continues.
While Stuckey does not believe unconditional forgiveness right away is the answer, she does believe refusing to hold on to anger is.
“Even if someone has not repented, even if Karmelo Anthony is proud of what he has done, even if he has not repented, I still think that the father is right to let go of bitterness and to say the justice system is going to work how it’s going to work, and God avenges, and he’s going to take care of me,” she explains.
“I wonder if it is possible to say, ‘I have not forgiven that person yet, but I have let it go, but I’m not allowing it to crush me any more, I am not allowing it to make me bitter or resentful because I trust in God’s goodness, I trust that he is going to take care of wickedness once and for all,’” she adds.

‘Absolutely evil’: Paula White’s latest Passover scam
White House faith adviser and heretical prosperity gospel “preacher” Paula White is in the news again — and once again, it’s for a far less than godly reason.
In a recent video, White encourages her viewers to “honor God” during Passover, and in return, they should be expecting seven special blessings from God, which include a personal angel, physical healing, and prosperity.
She then encourages them to “honor God” by asking viewers to send $1,000 to her and her ministry.
“I believe that when you honor God on Passover, starting on April 12 at sundown through Good Friday on the 18 and concluding on Easter Sunday, you can receive these seven supernatural blessings for you and your house,” White says in her promotional video.
“According to Exodus 23, God will assign an angel to you. He’ll be an enemy to your enemies, He’ll give you prosperity, He’ll take sickness away from you, He will give you long life, He’ll bring increase in inheritance, and He’ll give a special year of blessing,” she concludes.
The commercial then immediately goes into a voiceover, where a male voice says, “For your special Passover offering of $1,000 or more as the Holy Spirit leads. You will also receive the beautiful 10-inch Waterford Crystal cross.”
Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” is horrified.
“You might laugh at this, and you might think, ‘How could anyone buy into something so gimmicky,’ but I promise, you have people in your life, especially older people, who have a dwindling savings but who believe this, that if they sow a seed of faith,” Stuckey says, “then God will repay them with some kind of blessing.”
Stuckey says the video is simply “money grabbing,” “about selfishness,” and “about self-enrichment,” which she believes is “absolutely evil.”
“So pray for Paula White, but pray for every single person that has ever listened to her and believed her. These are heretical teachings that lead straight to hell,” she adds.

Paula White: Trump’s heretical new faith office adviser
President Donald Trump has named Paula White, prosperity gospel pastor, the head of his new White House faith office — and while Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” isn’t surprised, she is disappointed.
As far back as 2019, Stuckey has been critical of White, writing in a post on X, “Paula White is a horrifyingly false teacher who peddles the damning prosperity gospel. Mr Pres, hit me up if you’d like some better suggestions.”
“This is still true,” Stuckey says, recalling her old post. “I don’t expect for Trump to think the same things that we do about Paula White. I do think Paula White is a conservative. I think she’s been a big supporter of President Trump. I’m sure she has said things that are true.”
However, being a conservative, supporting Trump, and saying some things that are true don’t change who she is.
“She is a televangelist. She is what’s known as a prosperity gospel,” Stuckey says, explaining that prosperity gospel preachers are “people who make you believe that if you do something for God, then he will do something for you in return.”
“If you keep these precepts, then he will reward you with financial compensation, material wealth, and health. And there’s typically some kind of tie of the charismatic movement into this, the belief that basically you are entitled to, as a Christian, access to perfect health and to financial success,” she continues.
White has also been married three times, and it’s been reported that she had an affair with the pastor of the church she and her first husband attended. She ended up marrying that pastor, before divorcing him in 2007.
She then married musician Jonathan Cain of the band Journey.
“Which is pretty cool,” Stuckey admits, noting that in 2000, White was invited by prosperity preacher T.D. Jakes to preach at a conference.
Jakes himself has claimed that “prosperity is a mindset. Whatever you say to yourself is what will manifest.”
“That’s New Age nonsense. That’s not Christianity,” Stuckey says. “God already has a plan and a purpose for your life, but it is up to you to believe in his plans.”
Jakes has also claimed, “If you obey God, you will never be broke another day in your life.”
“Which of course is not necessarily true,” Stuckey says. “Just look at the lives of the apostles. If you think about all of the Christians that exist around the world, in Yemen, in China, in North Korea, they don’t have money. Are they just not believing in God for their financial wealth? Is that why they haven’t gotten a promotion at the slave factory where they’re working in those countries?”

Conservatives: Stop making excuses for Andrew Tate
The influence of Andrew Tate has spread rapidly through conservative youth, particularly among young disillusioned men. While some conservatives believe it’s a good thing, Allie Beth Stuckey believes it’s dangerous.
“You will see conservatives, unabashedly, without caveat, uncritically platform Andrew Tate and say, ‘Well, he’s got interesting things to say about society, so I’m just going to forget the rest of everything that he is and I’m going to platform him without pushing back at all,’” Stuckey says.
While Stuckey doesn’t believe someone has to be perfect in order to be heard, she explains that Tate’s message is a “net negative.”
Tate, who recently converted to Islam, is a British-American social media influencer with 10.5 million followers on X and 2 million on Rumble, and he once ran a cam girl business where he hired women to essentially do “virtual porn sessions” with male customers.
“They would take the women, would take a tiny cut of the money, and then Tate and his brother, I believe, would take most of the money. And so, he also sold courses on how men can become pimps and how men can get women to do whatever they want them to do,” Stuckey explains.
Tate is extraordinarily popular in the United Kingdom, where a 2023 survey found that eight in 10 British boys ages 16-17 had consumed Tate’s content. He also currently faces charges in Romania for “human trafficking for trafficking of minors, for forming an organized criminal group, sexual intercourse with a minor, and money laundering.”
Tate denies these allegations, claiming that it’s simply the matrix out to get him because he’s disrupting the feminist system.
However, his own words make that hard to believe.
“I have to f*** her so she obeys me. I don’t give a **** about having sex with beautiful women. I f*** them so they listen to me, so I can get what I actually want, which is not them; it’s a means to an end. Every single Bond girl was exploited; that’s exactly what I do,” Tate said in a video he took of himself.
“When I watch a Bond film and I see him basically pimp a *****, to me that speaks to my heart. I’ve been there, I’ve done that. Anyone who’s followed me long enough knows that I first made my million dollars with a webcam business. I have met beautiful women with a good personality and thought, ‘She will make me money,’” Tate continued.
Tate, who has claimed that this all happened 10 years ago, has also allegedly forced women who worked for him to get his name tattooed on them, like a brand.
“That wasn’t all 10 years ago,” Stuckey says. “Some of what he was saying was just a few years ago. He openly admitted during COVID that he hired more girls to pimp out for this so-called sex work, this prostitution over cameras.”
Now, Tate is teasing a potential run for prime minister.
“Why do people listen to Andrew Tate? Is it something that we should consider, is it because there is a dearth of masculinity on the right? Is it because Christians have become so feminized and have not given good masculine examples to men?” Stuckey asks.
“I don’t think that it is not worth debating,” she adds.

Viral pastor: Kamala and the Democrats are a ‘demonic death cult’
Jonny Ardavanis is the lead pastor at Stonebridge Bible Church, and a sermon of his recently went viral — because he perfectly articulated what so many others are afraid to.
“I’m not a political commentator,” he began. “I’m a preacher of the Bible. But certain things politically are more theological than they used to be. The Democratic Party is a demonic death cult under the power and influence of Satan.”
“To vote for a platform that is building their platform upon everything God hates: the mutilation of bodies, the annihilation of babies in the womb, and the sexualization of your children. That is their calling card, that is what they want to do,” he said.
“They don’t hide that. They have abortion facilities outside of the Democratic convention. This is who they are. It’s the most radical party in our country’s history,” he continued, adding, “So I don’t see how you could be a Christian and vote for a party who promotes everything that God hates.”
Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” couldn’t agree more with Ardavanis, who admits he’s shocked that the clip of his sermon went so viral.
“I had no idea just calling a spade a spade from scripture was so bold,” he tells Stuckey, adding, “I had no idea I’m being bold where the scripture is so clear.”
However, it is bold to be honest — especially as God--fearing Americans around the country have voiced their support for Kamala Harris, like Ray Ortlund.
Ortlund has been quite vocal about his support for the vice president, even writing in a post on X: “Never Trump. This time Harris. Always Jesus.”
“I don’t know how common of a stance this is among Christians, but Ray Ortlund, from what I understand, is not fully progressive. He probably aligns with us on a variety of theological issues, and yet, this is a position that I see at least some evangelicals hold, voting for Kamala Harris because Trump is just so uniquely bad,” Stuckey comments.
Like Stuckey, Ardavanis isn’t clear how Ortlund decided on Kamala Harris while being a man of God.
“I don’t know how you arrive at that position honestly, when you’re thinking with the mind of Christ,” Ardavanis says. “I don’t know how you arrive there when you just look at the full-term abortions, the onslaught of sexuality, the absolute dismantling of the nuclear family, marriage.”
“She is opposed to the biblical worldview like no one else in our country’s history,” he adds.
