SPOTLIGHT: Toxic Empathy, Christian Empathy & Voting with Allie Beth Stuckey

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

In this exciting episode of Spotlight, we are featuring Allie Beth Stuckey’s keynote speech that she delivered at the annual Faith, Family & Freedom Banquet! Allie is a dedicated wife, mom, cultural commentator, and is the beloved host of her podcast, Relatable.

In her speech, Allie breaks down her popular catchphrase: politics matter because policies matter because people matter. Politics affects policy, policy affects people, and people matter.

“While it is absolutely true– yes and amen– that Jesus is coming back one day, He is not here yet. And right now, we occupy this temporal, physical context not arbitrarily or accidentally– but purposefully and providentially.

You and I were placed here as are our children and our children’s children by a God who does nothing by accident. By a God who does everything with intention, everything with purpose. We occupy this tiny spot on eternity… for a reason. And that reason is to glorify God and to make the world around us… better.

And one way we do that… is through politics.”

This is an exciting episode you don’t want to miss.
