Christian Women’s Conference Hosted By Allie Beth Stuckey Charges $1000-$5000 For VIP Packages
Allie Beth Stuckey is a conservative Christian commentator who hosts the podcast Relatable, where she “analyzes news, culture, theology, and politics from a Christian, conservative perspective.” She is the author of two books: You’re Not Enough (& That’s Okay) and Toxic Empathy, and she speaks regularly to “organizations, churches, and students about the importance of Christian political engagement, defending the Biblical worldview, championing the pro-life cause, and combating the lies of progressivism.”
She recently hosted and presented at the Share the Arrows event at Prestonwood Church, which is an “unforgettable day of teaching and encouragement from some of the wisest Christian voices.” Here, attendees are given the opportunity to “fellowship with like minded women who are ready to Share the Arrows with you, armed with truth and courage in an age of deception and cowardice.”
Speakers included Stuckey herself, Candace Cameron Bure, Rosaria Butterfield, Alisa Childers, Abbie Halberstadt, and music by Francesca Battistelli.
She previously explained the idea of Sharing the Arrows:
It’s a phrase we use to describe what it looks like to stand up for and with those getting lambasted for their Christian/conservative views. When we see someone being unfairly maligned, instead of shrinking back and saying, “glad that’s not me!” we raise our hand and say, “What she said – I believe it too. And any hate you’re going to hurl her way, I’ll take it with her.” That kind of courage and kindness is contagious. It empowers and emboldens.
It sounds like a good time, except Stuckey is under fire for her VIP Packages, which, apart from the $150 general admission, include tiers of $500, $1000, and even $5000.
The difference between a $500 breakfast package and the $1000 VIP package seems to be the opportunity to have dinner with Stuckey and Candace Cameron Bure, a different colored lanyard, and a VIP tote back. For the $5000 VIP package, purchasers get a black lanyard and backstage access throughout the event.
We’ll be honest: the last time we saw a Christian (or heretic) charging this much for any event was when Benny Hinn charged $5000 to attend his 70th birthday celebration. Even a 2022 conference by noted money-grubbing heretics Joel Osteen and TD Jakes was only $1000.
It is unclear to what degree Stuckey had input into the pricing, if any, though she certainly knew these tiers existed, previously sharing on Facebook some of the clothing VIP members would receive.
Pastor Michael Foster, who has hosted several conferences before, offered up this humorous take on the extravagant price.
