There are two ways you could read that title. Both would be correct. 

• Allie Beth Stuckey Can’t Win (can’t catch a break)
• Allie Beth Stuckey Can’t Win (will lose this “battle”)

So just ten days ago I wrote No Church Home For Some Gifted Christian Women which was about Allie Beth Stuckey being attacked for speaking at a women’s conference. If you haven’t read it, please do because it provides context for this post. 

Her sin this time? She spoke about the problem of p**n a bit too directly to men on a public stage. 

I’ll let you watch this take by the Evangelical Dark Web (EDW). Although we would differ on many things, I follow him because he does a good job of keeping me informed of the big battles on Twitter/X now that I’ve left. 

There’s so much I could say about this in terms of what she said, why people are piling on, and even how EDW frames this (girl boss). I’ll refrain for the moment. 

But this is why I keep saying that conservative Christian women will be forced to make a choice.

• Those who want to remain in the conservative-leaning institutional churches and denominations will be forced to knuckle under to more and more restrictions regarding what women can and cannot do.
• Those who believe God gives gifts to men and women to use for the edification of the Body of Christ will be forced to probably move to home and organic churches that believe similarly.

There is going to be very little gray area in the coming years.

Will there be biblical churches who manage to navigate this without going off the deep end? Of course. If you are in one that manages to thread the needle in the coming years, count yourself very blessed. 

But the angry Christian men want their proverbial pound of flesh and it’s obvious if you are paying attention. 

Let me know what you think about what’s happening to Allie Beth Stuckey in the comments.

Update: Make sure you see this comment from me after you watch this.
